>Nod. "Alright guys, let's get going. I figure that we probably won't be able to use magic-based tricks on it, so we'll have to smash it with pure strength, or figure out how to turn it off normally."
>Let's go where Hatate indicated!
> You follow Hatate, until you find a small wood nestled between two mountains, and it is clear that the Maisma, which was getting thicker and thicker, is being sucked into a point in the center of the woods, a spiraling cone of thick red mist.
> The Maisma is so thick it makes Remilia's Scarlet Mist look like an amateur's work. While it's no problem for you, Yumeko, or Mima, since Makai is entirely made of magical maisma, and you have spent a reasonable time there, and Kaguya, as an immortal, is not bothered, you can tell Hatate and Sakuya are suffering a little, despite the former being a Youkai.
> At the base of the spiral, you can see a white orb, it's not large, no larger than you.
> "So... that's it?" Mima says, leveling her staff towards it.
> "Yeah, that's it, and I wouldn't do that if I were you, use any magic around that thing and it'll suck you dry." says a familiar voice from behind you.
