(This one's called "Confused Mei")

"Eimi wake up! Why were you so mad last night?" Mei's voice cut into her dreams, while an arm shook her shoulder gently.

"Ugh... I'm awake." Eimi groaned and moved into a sitting position. She reached into her pocket and took out the rumpled yellow note. She gave it to the other girls and they read it, their eyes skimming over words.

"WHAT! Eimi, we HAVE to go to Aquolio. NOW. To make sure your father is safe!" Hinoko exclaimed. 

Eimi nodded silently and placed her hand on the qi tent and absorbed it. "To Aquolio!" she opened a portal and they all stepped through. The bright light of Aquolio's sun pierced the ground, ribbons of light bouncing around the many lakes. In the distance, a castle gleamed.

"Let's go!" Eimi summoned her qi and flew towards the place, her friends trailing behind her. Her mind was racing, her heart thumping in her ears. The guards let them in.

The group flew into the castle. Standing there, their back turned to them, talking to one of the servants was King Kaito. "DAD!" Eimi cried, landing on the ground. Kaito spun around and relaxed when he saw his daughter racing towards him. They collided in a big hug. Eimi sobbed, clutching her dad's shirt.

"Wha- Eimi, what's wrong? Should you be in school?" King Kaito worried. 

"No- I mean yes! But, the Hunters of the Eagle Current are targeting you! They said that they would kidnap me to force you to give them the Aquolio Emblem!"

"Oh, I feared for this. Luckily I hid the Emblem in a place only I know where it is!" King Kaito soothed. "But..." he shook his head. "Eimi, you must stay in the palace. Or else, you could get kidnapped!"

"Right, dad." Eimi sighed. Her friends bowed to the king solemnly. "Here is my group, the Elemental Guardians. They are also like my bodyguards."

"Alright Eimi. You can go anywhere in the castle, but keep an eye out for the witches!" Eimi nodded and rushed off, her friends clustered around her. 

Meanwhile...

"GIVE US THE MAGIC BRACELETS!" The lead witch grabbed the collar of the Magic Items Creator and shook him hard. 

"Ahhhh!!" the guy yelled. "Put me down!" 

"Never!" the witch growled. Another witch tapped her shoulder, and whispered something in her ear. A wicked smile creeped onto the lead witch's face. She nodded and the other witch went off. The Magic Items Creator heard terrified screams. The witch came out holding the Magic Item Creator's child by the back of his neck. 

"Give us the bracelets or watch your child die!" she snarled. The child' face was wet with tears. Fear glinted in his eyes. 

The Magic Items Creator shouted, "Hang on! I got you!" he shook out of her grip and rushed to the drawer. He quickly took out 5 power bracelets and handed them towards the lead witch.

"Good... Good." she cackled. She snatched up the Ivory bracelets and ordered the witch to drop the child. Then they fled the house, laughing evilly.
