Dark Magus Returns

Raze was pacing back and forth in his kitchen, biting his thumbnail. He was continuously just moving four steps ahead before doing a turn and moving the other way four steps again.

"Is everything okay?" Sabrina asked with a golden smile on her face.

Looking at her, Raze couldn't help but scratch his head as he continued to pace back and forth.

"Of course it's not okay, of course nothing's okay, you somehow lost your memory!" Raze shouted. "And, I can't believe that you would just trust me like that, and come back to someone's house that's practically a stranger, were you always like this?"

Not too long ago, Raze had been looking for Sabrina all around the city; he was unable to find her when he happened across her in a local park, healing one of the hurt teenagers.

After that, it didn't take long, but Raze convinced her that he and she knew each other. He mentioned her full name, and asked what she could remember. According to her, she was a worker at a tailor shop.

The tailor shop in question Raze knew, it was the one that she worked at when the two of them had met. When he had just become a teacher at the academy, and needed some clothes.

However, she had no clue who Raze was, her memories were reverted back just before the two of them met.

He promised that the two knew each other, bringing out his phone he had shown pictures of the two of them together. After that, she had agreed to go home with him where he had shown more proof.

Wedding photos, time spent together, letters that they had written to each other including videos and more. It was enough to convince Sabrina but he felt like she was already convinced.

"I trusted you from the beginning," Sabrina said, holding her hand next to her chest. "My magic core, it reacted to yours, I don't think it would have for no reason, and it turns out the two of us really did have a life together."

"But every time I look at all these things on the table, and see everything, it hurts my heart that I can't remember what happened, I'm sorry."

"Don't say those words," Raze said, turning around. "You can't apologize to me, you can't. If anything, I'm the one that should be saying those words."

Raze had fallen to his knees and he was grabbing on tight to the side of Sabrina's thighs. His tears soaking into her dress. While in this position, Sabrina couldn't help but stroke the top of Raze's head while using her Light magic, trying her best to comfort him.

After a quick sob Raze tried to compose himself, he got up off the ground and sat and cleared the table of all the memorabilia between the two.

"What we need to figure out is how this happened to you," Raze said. "Everything had been fine for a long time, so why now of all times?"

Sabrina placed her finger on the bottom of her lip as she started to think.

"Well, I will try to look at this from an outsider's point of view because right now I kind of feel like an outsider, so forgive me if I speak or say things that might hurt you."

Just as always Sabrina was her gentle self.

"Has anything changed recently that would cause this in your lives?" Sabrina asked.

The most recent change between the two of them was Sabrina's new job.

"Your work, but that was six months ago, and you had no problems. You would often return saying how good your work colleagues and boss were."

"This event did happen after I finished work, or at least during work, according to what I know right?" Sabrina said. "So we have to keep it open as a possibility, but like you said, why would someone want to do that to me, did the two of you… sorry, did the two of us have any enemies? Those that would want to hurt us?"

What immediately sprung to Raze's mind was the constant magic circles that were left in front of the door, and the painting on the walls. There were a lot of people that wished him dead, and perhaps his wife because of it.

Many of the parents at the academy as well.

'What if they found out who Sabrina was, and tried to harm her because they couldn't get to me…'

"It seems there are people you can think of," Sabrina answered.

"There are too many, to the point where it would be hard to pinpoint a single person, especially if we don't know anyone at your work," Raze answered.

Sitting down the two of them thought about it some more, and that's when Sabrina came up with an answer after letting out a big sigh.

"Well, if we can't think of who had done this, then there is one thing we can do, and something that we would need to do either way," Sabrina said. "We should focus on getting my memories back."

"If I recall, there is a Light spell that can heal up any lingering magic that has been used. This has to be a spell or an enchanted item of sorts. So let's just get rid of the spell."

Thinking about it, Raze realized it was the perfect solution. The spell that would need to be used, was a high-level Light magic spell, and Sabrina was a 7-star mage, one that specialized in Light magic.

If there was one person that could get her memory back, it would be herself.

"But I don't know the spell to do that, and the spell that would need to be cast would be at a high level," Raze answered.

"Unfortunately I don't know the spell either which is why I didn't want to mention it, but the pictures that you showed me before, that's the uniform of a teacher right. Couldn't you enter the academy and get the spell book that would contain that information?" She asked.

Thinking about it, that was possible. The central library would certainly have the spell book. The thing was, Raze would never be allowed in the school after what had occurred.

Sneaking into the place would have been impossible for him as well. This was such an important matter, that Raze felt like there was no choice.

"I suppose I can ask someone for a favor. There is someone that might be able to help me," Raze replied.

"Then I'll come with you!" Sabrina stood up.

"No… I don't want to cause you any more trouble, if you can, can you please just stay here, keep the doors locked. I'll go first thing tomorrow, I should be able to catch him," Raze answered.

That night, due to Sabrina and Raze's state, the two of them had slept in different rooms. Sabrina had taken the spare room.

For Raze it was hard for him to sleep because he couldn't stop thinking about what he needed to do and worrying about Sabrina.

'There's one more thing that keeps bothering me… Sabrina is a 7-star mage. Not just anyone would be able to take her memory without her knowing or by force. She wouldn't be tricked… so just who did this!'
