Test vs the Tower of the 5 Elements

"But. But." Test muttered before his eyes closed and he feel into a deep sleep. Lulled to sleep by the midara to either side of him.

When Test awoke, he felt himself laying on a firm bed, a light fluffy blanket draped over him, and his head buried in the softest of pillows.

He lay there and rested for a couple more minutes, letting himself sink into the pillows, before he remembered where he was and what he was supposed to be doing. He quickly leapt out of bed and examined his surroundings.

Serena let out a surprised shriek as she was sent flying by his sudden movement.

His 'blanket' had turned out to be the thunder elemental, his bed her big beautiful sister and his pillows their wonderful breasts.

"Good morning." Sophie said with a yawn.

It looked like they were all still in the library.

"Whoops. Sorry." Test said as he got his bearings. "Did the seals reform while I was asleep?" He quickly asked once he got over his initial disorientation.

"Yup." Serena told him as she floated back over. "It wasn't that long after you fell asleep that the first one came back."

"Are you feeling better?" Sophie asked as she slowly got to her feet.

"Yes actually. Thank you for forcing me to get some sleep. I really needed it." Test said, realizing how rude it had been of him not to thank them right away. "Well since the seals are back I guess I'll just have to try to find some more grounds." He added. It was a little disappointing but he was surprised to find that he wasn't as upset as he would have expected. Now that he wasn't exhausted he was feeling a lot more emotionally stable.

"Since your not a mage and can't summon them, I guess you'll have to go search for some elemental the old fashion way." Serena remarked.

"We'd help you search, but we don't know if the ritual has a range limit before it stops recognizing us as grounds" Sophie explained with another yawn. "We might be able to find something to help you find them somewhere in this library, though."

"That's a start." Test said before turning to Serena. "Sorry I wasn't able to free Amy." He apologized. "But thank you for helping me with this."

"You can make it up to me by bringin me some new little sisters." Serena told him as he booped him on the nose and gave him a little zap.

Sophie yawn again as she moved to begin searching for a book that could help them.

"But before I go looking for elementals we need to secure the aid of the bunny girl witch you mentioned. Do either of you know where she lives?" Test asked. This was all easier said then done. After all midara possesed such differing and sometimes extreme personalities, it could be hard to guess what a given midara would or would not be willing to do. And this was assuming that she hadn't been driven into a frenzy by the Love Magic and wouldn't just attack him on sight.

"Fiona should know. The bunny witch's place is were she was, you know." Serena told him as she gave the man another shock.

A few minutes and playful zaps later, Sophie returned and handed Test a big book titled 'A Guide to The Elemental Spirits of the World' by Elly M. Tall.

Test jolted slightly from the shock. The experience was surprisingly not unpleasant, not that he was going to complain when he was so indebted to Serena. "Thank you." He said to Sophie as he accepted the book. He opened it up and began to read. Best to arm himself with the knowledge on where to find elementals know and worry about recruiting the witch later.

In addition to the Fire, Ice, Thunder, Earth, and Feral Spirits already in the tower, the book had chapters dedicated to Wood, Water, Metal, Wind, Light and Dark spirits

Wood Spirits could be found in forests, but easily mistaken for trees if you didn't know what to look for.

Water Spirits came in two varieties, the much more common and temperamental Salt Water version found in oceans, and the much rarer serene Fresh Water version found only in the purest of lakes.

Metal Spirits were usually found deep underground near veins of ore; the rarer the ore the more powerful and vain they were.

Wind Spirits tended to gather in high places, like mountain tops, but could generally be found anywhere frequented by strong winds.

Light Spirits could occasionally be found spying on holy places of worship, while Dark Spirits where drawn to more occult gatherings.

As Test processed the dizzying variety a plan began to form. While the simplest approach would likely be to gather dozens of wood spirits, he would try to honor Serena's request and find a variety of elementals (although getting one of each would likely prove impossible). "Serena. All that equipment in your room. Do you think any of it could be used to detect elementals?" He asked. If nothing in Serena's room would do them maybe something from the tables in Fiona's place would suffice.

"Maybe? I don't know what most of it does." Serena admitted with a smile.

"Alright. We'll look around. If not we can check the stuff in Fiona's room." Test said as he closed the book and got to his feet and began to make his way back towards Serena's room. "Again, thank you for all your help." He told Sophie as he made to leave. This was going to be quite the undertaking, he just hoped that he had what it would take.

"Any time." the maid said as she bowed to him as they left

(Search -roll 91- Fail!)

Test and Serena arrived back in the elemental's room and began to search for anything that might aid Test, but their efforts where hampered by their lack of magical knowledge.

After a while Test gave up on finding anything useful here. Maybe he'd have better luck searching Fiona's room. He did have to go their anyway to ask her about the bunny girl witch. He made his way over to Fiona on his continued quest to expand the tower's not-so-little family.

"Hi, Mr. Test! Have you come back to have fun?" Fiona asked with her arms held out to the man when he entered.

"Um. Sure." Test said, caught off guard by her eagerness. "But first I need your help with something.

"Help with what?" the fire elemental asked as she lowered her arms and tilted her head curiously, which caused her long ears to floppy cutely.

"Two things. One can you give me directions to the bunny girl witch who helped you become a midara? And two do you know if any of the magic artifacts in here are useful for finding elementals." Test asked, Fiona's cute expressions causing him to stumble over his words a little.

"Y-You want to meet my mom?" Fiona asked in shock and shyly looked away. It was hard to say for certain, since her body was made of pink fire, but it was easy to imagine the elemental was blushing furiously. "Gosh, you seem like a swell guy, but we barely know each other!"

Test deep blush mirrored her own. "It's not that. I need her help containing the Love Magic flowing out of this tower." He stammered. Test suspected that mentioning that he already had a fiance would not help right now.
