Stiyl SS part 3:
Spoiler for stiyl ss pt 3:
Touma side:
Touma came back home and Index asked him what happened. It turns out that Bardway shot Touma with paintballs. He went into the bathroom to wash himself, but he saw Bardway in there. Naked. Kamijou Touma strikes again! Later, Bardway explained that she's here to seek assistance from Index and Touma, regarding a magic-related incident happening in AC that has to do with an item called "Donati's Horoscope".
Stiyl side:
Knowing that the Necessarius' forces will come looking for Patricia, Stiyl fled from the bank with Patricia and Theodosia. While running, a mysterious figure cast a magic on Patricia then disappeared. That magic interfered with Patricia's heart and caused her body to stop functioning. Stiyl ran into an alleyway while carrying both Theodosia and Patricia. After putting them down, Stiyl forcefully woke Theodosia up and asked her to support him in healing Patricia. So they cast some special recovery magic and Patricia regained consciousness.
Patricia originally came to Japan for travel with her sister, but the got separated. Then Patricia met Theodosia, who recommended to go AC to look for her sister. While wondering why the Necessarius is trying so hard to capture Patricia, Stiyl asked her if her sister gave her anything. It turns out that her sister really did give her something. It was a small box and a key. Patricia was not able to open it no matter how hard she tried, but Stiyl and Theodosia had no problems. Her sister probably put in some sort of magic to prevent Patricia from opening it, yet her sister gave it to her.
Inside the box was a small piece of stone with some runes carved on it. It's the missing part of a set of yet unknown runes called the Alaska Runes. In order to decipher that set of runes, that piece of stone is key. In other words, this mission's main objective is to steal the stone. However, this should not be an urgent matter for the Church, and Index has the knowledge needed to decipher these runes. So if the country really wants it this bad, they could just use Index. This means it was not the higher-ups of the Church who ordered this mission.
Then a magician showed up in front of them with a sword that has the runes "sgkalu" carved on it, meaning "the torch that gained the Sun using magic". He called it the Lævateinn. Even though Stiyl's flame sword and the Lævateinn both look similar, the Lævateinn has one more property - it can set anything on fire and completely burn it down without leaving any traces. It even set Stiyl's fire on fire. Stiyl created a flame sword again and made it explode right in the man's face, then created a tripple fake to fool the attacker that they have ran away, but are in fact still nearby.
However, they soon saw the Lævateinn's flames again in the distance, and started moving again. The attacker ordered for Patricia to be retrieved and not killed. This means that somehow Patricia is crucial to his plan. Realizing this, they split into 2 parties. Stiyl escapes with Patricia while Theodosia escapes with the box. With this, the attacker's goals are separated. Before Theodosia left, she gave Stiyl a box of matches. After looking at the information from the matches, Stiyl learned a couple of things:
1) By using the stone, the unidentified set of runes can be completely deciphered and recovered.
2) The magic needed to complete the recovery process is closely related to Donati's Comet.
3) A horoscope is needed to determine when and where the comet will appear, and that horoscope is in AC. A map was included.
4) That piece of stone is protected by magic laid by the Dawn-Colored Sunlight.
5) The boss of the Dawn-Colored Sunlight or her blood relatives are needed to disarm the protection magic.
6) The set of runes cannot be recovered if the piece of stone still has the protection magic.
With this, Stiyl understands why Patricia is needed alive. Also, the attacker could find other relatives of Bardway to replace Patricia, but there is only 1 horoscope, so Stiyl decided to go after the horoscope first.
