Bartz, Vaan, Tidus and a few others were practicing using magic. So far, there were no mishaps however that would soon change. Bartz tried to cast Mini and instead ended up shrinking the whole group much to his horror. “Oh my god I’m so sorry.” Bartz said quickly. He was really embarrassed about his mishap. “It’s fine. It’s not like anything else bad is going to happen today.” Tidus said. Bartz didn’t calm down as he bit his lip. He ended up sighing.

Charlotte was walking around hiding her wings from the others around her. She knew at this point her wings were gonna be pitch black. She had disobeyed her elders and ran away from her duties. As she was walking around she just looked around. Charlotte bit her lip nervously. She didn't want to be noticed by anyone. hopeful that no one recognized her at all. Charlotte couldn't hold her wings in any longer.

“This is bad... You’ve got to change us back, Bartz!” Tidus said. “I don’t know how to change us back. In fact, I don’t even know how I shrunk all of us in the process.” Bartz said. “Well you’d better find that out quickly.” Vaan said.

Charlotte came up to the forest and sighed some sitting up against one of the trees. She rubbed her temples and tried to calm herself down a bit. She would continue on her journey away from her home. [+pink ''I wish I didn't have to run..'']

“I’m just scared that someone bad will take us away. I don’t really want to be taken. It’s something that’s really scary.” Tidus said softly. He curled up on the ground.

[+pink ''It's pretty quiet here..''] She muttered softly as she ran her hand up and down her wings. The Feathers were slowly fading into a grey to a black. Charlotte shook her head some and closed her eyes.

“HEY! IS ANYONE OUT THERE! BARTZ SHRUNK US AND WE’RE NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT ONE BIT!” Vaan yelled out. He quickly got a look from Bartz and Tidus who both wanted for him to be quiet. Neither of them wanted to be caught.

She could hear the slight yelling [+pink ''Yes.. someone is here..''] Charlotte replied softly as she looked around on the ground trying to find who said that. She spotted them about five-ish minutes later.

“Thank god! Bartz shrunk us with his magic. We kind of don’t want to get kidnapped but now this world is too large for us.” Vaan said. He was sitting on the ground and sighed.

Charlotte had helped them and un-shrunk them. [+pink ''Th-there is that better?..''] she asked them quietly. She then backed up hiding her wings once more. Charlotte knew she couldn't use a whole lot of magic.

Bartz had remained the same small size that he was at before. “Umm...” He said. “Well, Bartz is still tiny so we should probably keep him somewhere so that he won’t get stepped on.” Vaan said.

[+pink ''W-well I'll be on my way..''] Charlotte said as she bit her lip. She sighed as she looked at them before she headed out of the area. [+pink ''im glad I could help out a bit..''] Charlotte itched her neck a some.

“Wait... we still need to find a way to return me to normal! I don’t want to be this small for the rest of my life.” Bartz said. He was starting to get a little flustered.

Charlotte spun around and sighed unhiding her wings once again. [+pink ''I'll help you guys figure it out..''] Her wings were now pitch black. She bit her lip and looked at Bartz. [+pink ''Has this happened before?''] She asked softly

“Nope. This is the first time that my spell misfired like that.” Bartz said. He ended up sighing after he said this.

[+pink ''Hmm..''] Charlotte thought to herself. [+pink ''im not sure what would help.''] she said softly as she looked at Bartz. Charlotte glanced around the forest a little more.

“The least we can do is put him in a glass jar so that he doesn’t get stepped on.” Tidus said.

Charlotte nodded ''I think that is the safest way to keep him safe..'' She sighed some as she looked at him. ''Where do we need to go to help him out?''

“Well, does anyone have a glass jar on them.” Tidus said. He looked at Bartz who had fallen asleep.

Charlotte shook her head ''Im sure we can find one though..'' She said as she looked at them.

Firion picked up Bartz and then put him in a glass jar. “Stay there. You’re not getting out. Think of this as a time to reflect on what you did wrong.” He said Bartz curled up in the center of the jar and yawned.

''Is that absolutely necessary to punish him?'' Charlotte asked them as she watched them talk to Bartz. ''Wasnt it just an accident?'' she asked them quietly. Charlotte fluttered her wings some.

“I kind of have a habit of saying that. It comes from dealing with Tidus.” Firion said before he ended up softly sighing.

She looked at Firion ''Do you guys know who could change him back?'' Charlotte asked softly. She tensed up some as she heard someone coming. It was someone trying to get Charlotte back.

“I don’t know. That’s the next step but for now, he’s stuck like that.” Firion said before he ended up sighing.

Charlotte panicked when she heard the footsteps. She tried to hide.

Firion quickly hugged the glass jar tightly in an effort to protect the minuscule Bartz from any harm. He would protect the young male rather fiercely.

The hunters were only interested in finding Charlotte

Vaan had spotted the hunters and quickly launched a fire spell at them.

They tried to dodge the fire ''What is that for?!'' the hissed

“Stay away. I don’t need for you to screw everything up.” Vaan said.

The hunters growled ''We need a rouge angel by the name of Charlotte''

“She’s not here. What you call rouges are what I call people with the freedom to choose their own paths in the world.” Vaan said.

They glared at them ''She is on the run and we were sent to go and bring her back. She is bound to be bonded with someone because of the crimes she has committed''

“What are her crimes? As I see it, she is an innocent person.” Vaan said.

''Running from heaven and her responsibilities'' They said.

“That’s known as freedom. I don’t see that as a crime.” Vaan said. He would have launched another fireball at the hunters however it was more powerful than normal.

They growled but couldn't get out of the way in time.

“Don’t make me use that power ever again.” Vaan said.

They weakly went back where they came from to heal up. Charlotte came out of hiding

“I never wanted to use that power.” Vaan said softly.

Charlotte looked at Vaan ''I-im s-so sorry..''

“It’s fine but I’d have to warn you that I’m not human.” Vaan said.

''I figured that out as soon as I saw you..'' She said

“They want me as well... they sent out hunters to find me in the past but they were never able to find me. What do you think I am.” Vaan said.

''Ah.. that makes sense.. Are you a wizard of some sort?'' Charlotte asked him

“Nope. I’m not a wizard.” Vaan said as a pair of black and white wings unfurled from his back.

Her eyes widen ''An angel or a demon?'' She asked quietly

“Both... I’m a hybrid between an angel and a demon.” Vaan said softly.

''I see that now.'' Charlotte just looked at him.
