A Desperate Act of Protection

Chapter 17
Timmy Watches Over Tecna

"Timmy, you should stay here with the fairies," Saladin said kindly. "your mission is here, Tecna will need you here now more than ever."

"Yes Headmaster!" Timmy told Saladin with a salute of his right hand as Keiichi Standon, Saladin's other top scholar walked over to Tecna's hospital bed & noticed four highly odd cuts on Tecna's comatose body that Nurse Ofelia had not even come across when Tecna had been brought back to Alfea that night after the battle at the dance at Red Fountain.

"May I stay here as well?" Keiichi asked Saladin.

"May I ask you why?" Saladin asked Keiichi.

"The comatose fairy in question, Tecna her name? Anyway, I have discovered something that the school nurse here may have overlooked." Keiichi answered Saladin as Nurse Ofelia came over to Tecna's hospital bed to check the monitor for any signs of Tecna still being able to live.

"Oh? And what might that be?" Nurse Ofelia asked Keiichi.

"This girl, Tecna... well, she has four cryptic cuts on her body, one on her forehead, one on the front of her neck, and two on her shoulders, more specifically, one on her left shoulder, and one on her right shoulder... if you take off the girl's washcloth you will soon see the cut on her forehead," Keiichi answered Nurse Ofelia then turning to Saladin he added, "Amy may need me for her own protection Sir, the same thing that has happened to this Tecna chick may very well happen to Amy, something mysterious as well as wrong is going on around the Universe of Magix... and I simply cannot say that I like it... not one little bit."
