Brook grabbed the wand from Yumi. "This is what we can here for, the wand of Nova Eclipza." She showed Cass the wand. Tiara checked outside and signaled everyone to walk down a hill to a nearby lake, locking the shed behind him and sealings it up so no one can touch it.
Cass takes a close look at the wand: ebonized wood, carved with intricate designs of fire and stylized shadows. She sudders. "No, thank you. Keep that away from me, please."
Brooklyn chuckled. "What, scared?" She held the case close to her. "Nova is an absolute sweetheart, ya know?"
Tiara stopped for a moment before asking, "…can I hold mom's wand?" Brooklyn gave a warm nod and pass the case to Tiara.
"No, not scared. I just have a tendency to, ah. . . destroy. . . magical auras." Cass murmurs.
"Which is why I shouldn't hang around you two very often." she adds, gesturing to Tiara and Yumi.
Yumi looked intrigued. "Destroy, how come?" They all reached the lake, it shimmered a dark purple color.
"It's not something I do on purpose. Apparantly I have som sort of ability that nullifys all magic near me, and if I'm around for long enough the aura is destroyed completely." Cass says, her face guilty as she explains.
"You're not human, are you?" Yumi asked as he sat by the lake with Tiara holding his hand.
Cass shrugs. "I'm pretty sure I am, but there's always the off chance that I'm not, I suppose."
Brooklyn looked at her bag, she took Merlin's staff and wand. "Nova, our mom, they collected these artifacts to back to Zona Dormiu." Yumi took off his bandana, reveling his scales and fin ears
Cass cocks her head to one side at the mention of Zona, then grins when Yumi's scales and fin ears are revealed. "I've heard of Zona Dormiu, I belive. Isn't she a big-shot artifact collector?"
She looks around, pondering a question. "Would it be okay if I grabbed one of these non-magical artifacts?"
All three on them looked at Cass with dumb-founded face, then burst to laughter. "Zona Dormiu is a place, not a person." Brooklyn said between the breathes of her laughter. Yumi tweaked his wired glasses and calmed his voice.
"Specifically, a planet. Right under here." He said
Cass sighs. "Yeah, yeah. You know more than me about this, but I'm not an idiot."
She looks down, then sighs. "Really? Underneath?"
