There was another reason why Yue was not trying to change fate. The dark mages were a problem and as long as they were allowed to exist out there - Yue's own parents included - they were a threat. How do you contain a threat? You extinguish them, of course. The best way to do that is to, naturally, exterminate them all. In order to achieve that goal, Yue was hoping for them to come and attack. Blithe and Rainarch were already made aware of the issue as well, so they could follow behind them to where the dark mages made their lair. Yue would willingly get caught if it meant destroying more of her enemies. Likely Zinnia would get hurt too - and that was a tragic side effect - but if it meant wiping out the dark mages, it was worth it.
It was time now to prepare for Hallow's Eve. Yue found a good spot for herself to set up her fortune telling booth. She knew little tricks here and there too, Forster made sure she knew how. When did Forster start grooming her into the next Seer? Could it have been from the very first time they met? "I'll have to wear the Lamb Mask when I do it." Yue told Zinnia with a shrug as they set up the booth, using magic to move the wood and cloth and other materials to make an appealing stand. Other booths were being set up as well now, Zolair was given permission to do one too. His booth, near the garden pavilion entrance, was one where you could buy and try prank wands, like a wand that can only make purple lights, or another that always copies the voice of the person. "Don't worry, without an enchanted sleep it's just a fancy ornament." That was a lie, but Zinnia didn't need to know everything else the Lamb Mask was for, right?
As they admired their handiwork with the booth, it was afternoon and more people were preparing, setting up decorations, the Empyreans drew magic circles in chalk to commemorate the evening. It was interesting watching the two different cultures mesh together to celebrate the same event. "You want to know how humans do it?" Yue didn't know everything custom, but she knew what Americans tended to do. "We dressed up in costumes, like vampires and ghosts, and then walk around people's houses to take their candy. We also decorate our houses to look scary." It wasn't anything like what the witches did.
"Probably no one will come." Zolair muttered quietly, staring at the booth he had set up for himself. "Not after what happened." He had a bitter scowl on his face, shaking his head. Yue frowned at Zinnia. Would people come to see the prank wands? The Auroras weren't very popular in Constantina right now, though people liked Claris the victim more than they liked Zolair. "Have you tried apologizing?" The moon girl asked the boy. His face twisted in annoyance. "Why should I? I was only protecting my sister from being hurt. What's to apologize for?"
