Night had come and with it the start of War. We closed off the shop, Master preparing himself with all sorts of manor of Flora and dressed rather flamboyantly but blending in with his surroundings. I kept to my bought clothes for now and we made a winding path from where we were back towards the summonings in the trees, Mehdi taking care to 'plant' some of his creations on the way. 

Walking through the trees, I became giddy even while trying to cool my nerves. Like the first day I flew in the War, I anticipated what was to come, if we would succeed in our plan or have to abort wildly. My fingers twitched while keeping a grin off my face. 

Finally we came upon that same clearing this morning, moonlight painting it a light blue. We split up briefly, me heading towards to center of it and my Master walking more to the side, squatting in the dark while cooing? Yes, cooing softly at something in the shadows while petting and feeding it. 

Stopping I looked up at the Moon, and below me a shape was taking form. Slowly it grew, a bright red seen beneath the glow with black crosses surrounded in white on both sides. Smooth to the touch, it was not the Plane I flew the most in but the one people all over knew me for its iconic three wing design casting a new shadow. While I normally flew by myself, I had some leeway in how it could be formed and Planes from my era had plenty of two seaters. I ran my hands over it and checked it over by habit, small bombs at the side of the front seat and machine gun full to bear with no need to reload as well. Fuel was no concern as well with Mehdi's ample reserves. What a great thing that. 

I turned back to my Master who had finished his own preparations, a toothful grin on him. I stood wearing my brown Aviator uniform and hat and jestured. 

"The Red Devil is ready once more for War Master. Where shall we go first?"
