Back on Darbonne, the group ran to Tarnan's House of Magic. As it came into view, they saw a large group of people outside the building.

"Geez," complained Cueball. "I wish I had earplugs or something." Smirk, Ate, Kaerith, Kechara, and Charjer agreed with him.

As they got closer to the door, they heard an all too familiar cackle. They went in, Ryoga with his weapon drawn.

"Witch!" he yelled as he swung.

She leapt back and disappeared. The witch Elmoren cackled as she disappeared, her cackling dying down to a quiet maniacal laughing, all the while Tarnan was screaming. Min came up from the rear of the group and slapped him, which stopped his screaming.

As Min walked back to his original location, he said, "That was fun." Charjer chuckled and gave him a pat on the back.

"So what do we do with Tarnan?" asked Smirk.

"We can't really do anything," replied Ryoga. "Let's give him some time alone." Everyone shuffled out.

Cueball stuck out his hand and Ate placed a pouch with a thousand gold pieces in it.
