It was just a year after Starrow went on a rampageon the lake, after she woke up, she apologized for three days straight, but it wasn't that big of a deal anyways since it was technically Black Stain's fault.

After a year not many things changed, Shakara got managed to learn many other ways to use the Meteor Staff, also learning how to efficently use the hooks on the other end of the staff, from using them like a schyte to using them to throw her adversary around, she also noticed that there was a button on the handle for the hook end that let the hooks shoot and grapple onto objects like a grappling hook, also reeling back to pull Shakara to what is grappled, or pull what is grappled to Shakara.

"This thing is really usefull! But i still need to get used to the hook end." Shakara commented while training with the staff, Dreamiv was coaching her since he had some knowledge of how it worked, "It's a physical extention of your power, think of it as a multi tool, maybe it'll get more natural as you evolve." Dreamiv explained as Shakara was swinging the staff like a mace.

This training was however interrupted by a loud explosion that came from Shakaras room, "What the hell!?" Shakara and Dreamiv yelled as they started running to source of the noise, when they arrived, Starrow and Avaritia were already there seeing if anyone was hurt, and then they noticed Shakara and Dreamiv, "Thank god you're okay, after the explosion we thought you were hurt" Avaritia said while giving Shakara a hug, "It takes more than an explosion to kill me, if you don't remember I was the one who defeat Hatsu when Shade possessed her" Shakara said, but then turned to her room.

There wasn't any significant damage, but all the furniture was either knocked over or cracked, "that's not a sight I was expecting, I was mostly expecting I pile of rubble after that noise" Dreamiv said as he entered the room, the others followed soon after, and in that time Paint and Thinner arrived too, "Are you here because of that explosion too?' They asked while looking at the room, "Yeah, nothing is severely damage, but it feels like something is missing" Starrow commented while looking around, but Shakara noticed what was wrong, bucause it's the first thing she checked out of sheer instinct.

She walked towards the display that contained the mask she showed Hatsu, but the difference was that the glass was broken and the mask was nowhere to be seen, "Not again..."

And now we discover what the mask I talked about in the first story is, but you may have got it when I said it was dangerous.
