The next morning, Alice wakes up and sees Marta and Vine sitting beside her on her bed. "What happened?" Alice asked. "You passed out from using the last strength you had," Vine said. "Did we beat Mirage?" Alice got up and look at the two. "No...Mirage is still alive and he will be back to destroy us all one day," Marta said. Alice stands up from bed and looks outside her tent. Everyone is tending to the wounded after the battle against the Silver Moon clans. "Even though we had killed the wolves clan, their inherited curse is still here," Alice said, her hands grow into a wolf hand and return. "I see that you're awake," June approached them. "Yup, she's fine," Vine said. "Oh right. June, you said that you will explain everything to us after everything is over," Alice said. "I did. I will tell you everything now. Come with me," June said. Alice follows June to a puddle in the forest behind Magi Village. "Wasn't this the forest where we fought together?" Alice asked. "Yes you did. I...came from this," June pointed at the puddle. "From the puddle...really?" Alice asked. "It's not a puddle, it's a small pond. Back in the 19th century, I saw myself slowly disappear into thin air. I thought that vanishing means that I would be forgotten from time but when I opened my eyes, I was in a forest," June said. While June explains, Alice tested the puddle by jumping on it and realized that what June said was true. "June was right. It is a small pond but how did June appear from here? Was it a time anomaly or something? It could be that someone or something has brought June to this place," Alice said. "I had no knowledge of time magic like you. Who knows? Maybe something brought June here," Vine said. "Yes, I appear from that small pond. I took a rest in there at night and awaken by the sound of a howling wolf. Just as I thought that I would start exploring tomorrow after I appear here, the pool has been stained by wolf blood!" June angered. "Ehehe....Oops, I didn't realize that cause we were focusing on fighting the wolf too much. Sorry about that," Alice said. "We're very sorry," Vine said. "Never mind that. I can clean this pond and it will be a fresh home for me again especially during the rain. And if the pond dried up, I will go look for another bigger pond than this. This is the only puddle used for my home cause it was affected by time anomaly, making it deeper than what normal puddle would look like from the outside," June said. "But it won't be long till winter. We're gonna need something to pay attention to the day and event that we can celebrate aside from our season ritual dance," Marta said. "I wonder what you are talking about," Alice had a confused look on her face. "Let's go back to your village. We need to tend to everyone's wounds. We're taking a break this upcoming winter, let's hope that nothing happens," June said. "Oh right, let's hurry back and help them. Everyone needs healing from us," Marta said. "Sure. Let's go help the others," Alice turned at both of them. Alice, Marta, Vine, and June return to the village and help everyone tend the wounded. Alice looks at the bright sky. "We will soon stop you, Mirage," Alice muttered, her eyes turning yellow for a while and returning to black.
