/> -Yes but he is still a techer. Rainy, this a tale. A tale, nothing is true. Nothing. We can't go to the teacher.
-You do not belive in witches but belive me they belive in you, Buckley, look! That is her! Gardenia!
Rainy pointed at a woman in feathers that walked quite quickly towards them suddenly stopped and her blue eyes turned grey and shadowy. She was speaking in the strange language.
Buckley turned pale and Rainy almost screamed as woman put her hand over the cherry tree like Astrider did and a tree trembled opening its leaves to her.
-What has happened Gardenia darling? Where is the magic feather?
-I do not no.-Said the tall witch Gardenia.
-What? There is a little time. We must be successful. Astrider find the note. It is danger ahead. Only we three are Fighters. Tiraft is here, he the Traitor. And the girl?
-Why? The girl is stupid, she is no danger to us. She doesn't no how to play the game!
-What game?-said Rainy and listened.-Buckley? What is in the town legends about witches? How can we fight back what can destroy them?
Rainy and Buckley were standing behind a street lamp so that Gardenia didn't see them no hear them.
But Buckley was already busy with searching on his mobile phone for informations about town legends, he gave Rainy the mobile and said.-Read!
-What?
-The girl who broke the witches spell –Adriana.
-Who is that?
-Look at the picture, Rainy!
And Rainy looked at the woman on the cell phone that looked just like she. Tall, brown haired woman with blue eyes, only this woman had a mark on her face, a small spot in a rose shape.
Then somebody came to Rainy and grab her hand widely. -That is your grandmother Tiza. Must run!-said a small oldman.-I am Tiraft. Come with me. Must run!
-There are hereee!-screamed a tall witch looking at Buckley. And magic fire went over the street burning around.
-I am not guilty!-said Tiraft loudly to the witch who was running behind them.-It was a bird. Bird that lies. She told about the witches to Astrider and he destroyed them on 21. April. The bird is guilty. I must find the bird. Broke the bottle. Explain the witches what has happend that night. But...-then fire burned the Tiraft's coat and Buckley turned to the witch.
-Eripta Erittza!-Buckley held his hand together and blew the dust to grey haired witch that made the fire.
-What... you know magic?-Rainy asked.
-No. I just used mum's cake. Breadcrumbs...In the eyes. And the words to be better like a magic.
Rainy smiled leaning on Buckley.-You are a good friend indeed. But the words were great...Eripta Eritza, I will use them too...

-You must help me find that bird!-said Rainy looking at Tiraft who wanted to go to search for Gardenia.-If you want to save Astrider! He is your pupil. You can't just leave him. Leave us!
-Teacher! Astrider never needed a teacher, he is a talent. A good natural magician. You know. But I am here to clear my name. Tommorow is my only chance on the Rainy Hill. But I must find the Rain Master before, did Astrider say something about him? He told me he found him in Taketown.
-Tress! He will know where you can find your master, Tiraft.-said Rainy smilling.-Come!
Tiraft ran his hand trough his old suit and smiled with terror.-I do not like people!
Rainy knocked at the door of David's house. The house was old but fresh and colored in orange tone. Nice and diffrent from other houses in the neighborhood.
David was in the house, reading as opening the door. Rainy ran to his door, crying.-Help us, teacher!
-What?-David looked at Rainy opening the door to others.
-Witches!
-What?
-We need the bird! Fairt!-said Buckley making notes on the paper pulling Tiraft inside teacher's house. They heard magic words behind them.
Small witch stopped in front of the dog Flavio and ran away. Then they explained everything. David was in an excellent mood and he gave them the key of the room where the bird is kept in.
-On the moonlight the bird is looking like fire. I will go with you, Rainy. Buckley. Tiraft. It will be dangerously. Prepare!
But as David said that the door on the house broke and the flame came in like a wind storm, a tornado and the magical fire took the furniture in the prison. The three witches looked at Rainy and turned David's room in the schoolroom. They all were suddendly in the school.
-You belong to us!- cried the witches and they took Fairt with them.
Rainy couldn't move again even if she wanted to.
David and Tiraft were standing near the table and they weer waiting for the witches to come.
All three witches were huge like a legendary birds and they danced on the wind which came in the room colored like rubin gem.
Witches grabbed Buckley and noone could stop them because they used stone magic wich turned people to slow to act against them.
Witches smiled like evil and flew through the window. But Tiraft took out the cherry tree branch and put it right in the cloud direction where the witches were just a spot. Rainy felt pain and she was on her knees, she felt like she will never see her mother or father, or Buckley again. She was crying and her tears were black.
Rainy looked at her tears. They were changing in the letters on the room floor. It said:-We have your mother, Rainy Hill! If you don't give up from tommorow we will take her in the Downworld.
Fairt pulled himself out of the witches and started to make noise like thunder going back in the school room.
Tiraft was pulling Buckley from the witches in the sky. They fought but Rainy couldn't do anything. She was astonished with the fact that her mother was taken prisoner by the local witches. What was going to happen to her mother? Where is she now?, Rainy was trying to get up. But couldn't, magic was still here, stronger than her, stronger than David who was catching Fairt in the cage and locking it.
Buckley reappeared weak and stupored, David ran for medicine but even David was feeling surely stupefaction from seeing witches here in the school.
Rainy cried knowing not were to go.
Tiraft held her.-The world is sometimes a cruel place, your choice is, Rainy, but if you don't fight tommorow all will be lost... You are the Rain Master now I am sure.
-How?
-Your grandmother Tiza had the same doubt and the sign on the hand...Rain.
Then they left school fast in the David's car that was always parked here and David drove them back to his
house.

Rainy saw the sign of the rain, rain drop mark on the hand and the rose spot on the mouth. She cried on Tiraft's shoulder.-Oh, teach me to call on the rain and get rid of the witches! Teach me how to be brave!
Tiraft nodded.-So little time...But, alright...I will teach you, Rainy! I will teach you how to be The Rain Master. The only one, who can defeat the Blackcats. Attention...This is basic...This is easy stuff.-and Tiraft gave her the branch of the cherry tree and showed her how to attack and defend from the witches.
Rainy had good memory. Suddenly history test was forgotten and magic was her favourite subject. Buckley watched her and even made some changes in the magic positions. Rainy was glad he was feeling better. Rainy studied for couple of hours, fast and with skills moving the cherry tree branch from one hand to another saying magic words of protection. Rainy felt like she was a dancer and she was dancing in the night.
Then morning came. Rainy didn't rest, she learned magic all night thinking about mother and Astrider. She was now Adriana, the Rain Master and she had several hours to final battle.
Around four o'clock in the afternoon Rainy took a little rest on Tiraft's request but only had nightmares about witches who were smilling and winning.
David was talking with Tiraft about his relation with witches. Tiraft said that all of it started as the love fight.
-I was Gardenia's fiance, but her sister Gordina called me a small and terror magician warlock. Angry as I was I got myself the bird Fairt who knew superior magic than me but the bird betrayed me to Gordina and Garftina and they turned the bird against me and I made the fire magic that burned the town. Gardenia heard that I worked for G-star and she gave me to the Protector of magic, Astrider. I lost my better powers, and my love Gardenia is willing to destroy me because she thinks still I betrayed her. That I was not a warlock. I am.
The feather from the bird Fairt calls on the rain. But with that rain comes a Hatshadow that will destroy the Taketown in minute. Only the Rain Master can stopped everything if she calls the real rain herself and melts down the Hatshadows.
-Let's go!-said Rainy.-Then there is nothing to say but we must win!

Night. Tiraft took his cherry tree branch and took a look in the school room to see the Fairt in the glass that he was holding in his hand while David was driving the car to Rainy Hill. The bird was sleeping. In the closed cage. Then Tiraft makes magic: -Hut tak jak. Blue sky over the shy guy and a ray on the bay new glass on slippery ice make this bird jump around. And say the truth to me. Did you give the feather to a witch? No!
And the bird went in invisibility. Fire, water, land and air. All this was felt in the empty room. The bird spread her wings to Rainy and looked her straight in the eyes from the strange black glass. -Shiver, shiver my girly, you will be mine to the end of the night. Your magic is nothing. You are a slippery friend of night.
-No. You're wrong. I am strong. But not a witch.-cried Rainy to the glass as Buckley jumped on his seat looking at her like she is a witch.
-You speak parrotish?
-No.
-What?-said David.-What are you two doing? Oh, never mind! Somebody can come. What have I thought driving here and searching for witches in the night?
-You are making history.-Said Tiraft searching for a witch with a handset in his hands. Handset was made out of silver and was shining through the walls and glass. –Witches show yourself!
David stopped the car, clouds were gathering in the sky.
But some giggles were heard outside of the forest on Rainy Hill and the cold wind flew near Rainy.
Some hair was felt on the wind. And Rainy knew. They were not alone, the witches Blackcats were also here. Gardenia, Garftina and Gordina.
Buckley said.-Look up. It is a blackbird...
Rainy looked up and saw a bird with golden orange feathers but it was in chains.
The three witches smiled flying around.-We got you!
Gardenia looked at Tiraft:-Traitor! be destroyed!
And she pushed Tiraft to the wall she made with magic.
Rainy jumped on the stone that magical appeard and with her branch in the hand said:-Listen, make some noise!
And the stones and Gardenia's wall turned into storm and started to make thunders. Gardenia screamed as her older sister Gordina flew to the wall as she lost her balance.
-Stop, Gordina! Stop! The wall will pull you in! I said stopppp!
It was too late for Gordina, the wall held her tight in his chains. Gordina fell into darkness.
-No!-Garftina said crying.
Suddenly Garftina used an old magic, Rainy somehow
