[color=#ffbae8]"Well... not your [i]only[/i] attacker. You still have your level 1, but you just can't use it again until your next turn. At the start of one, all of your exhausted attackers will be refreshed. You'll be able to attack or block again with your level 1 on this turn."[/color]

Rui watched as Sora turned over a card from his colour deck, only to have it be a level 1 attacker. [color=#ffbae8]"Huh?"[/color] Rui briefly reacted in surprise. [color=#ffbae8]"Sora, let me look at your colour deck real quick."[/color] she imposed on him. Rui put the cards in her hand to the side of her so she could grab Sora's pile and quickly sort through it. [color=#ffbae8]"Ah... Sora, I think your cards got mixed up at some point,"[/color] she said while scooting over next to him. [color=#ffbae8]"You see these cards?"[/color] Rui said, flipping through a few attackers and incantations scattered among the colour cards. [color=#ffbae8]"These aren't actually supposed to be here. This deck is meant to only be for colour cards that allow you to play other cards. While you can put in any combination of colours into it, cards like Attackers and Incantations need to go into your main deck instead."[/color]

Rui picked the misplaced cards out of his colour deck and handed them over. [color=#ffbae8]"I think some colour cards might've ended up in your deck, too. If you happen to draw any of them, just place them at the bottom of the colour deck and then draw a new card; I don't really mind. Let's just add these other ones to your deck and shuffle so we can continue."[/color]

[color=#FFF83B]"Hehe... Sora-kun still has a lot to learn, huh?"[/color] Lumia commented on what the siblings were up to. She looked over to Wolf. [color=#FFF83B]"Hey, Wolf... is what we're doing really okay?"[/color] she asked him. [color=#FFF83B]"Every time we fight for their wishes, we trample over someone else's. Every time we make a wish come true, someone is hurt because of it..."[/color]

Lumia closed her eyes. [color=#FFF83B]"Nee-chan is talented. More than anyone I've ever seen. And... and that scares me."[/color]

Rui, unaware of the conversation happening on the other end of the room, picked the game back up after the interruption was dealt with. [color=#ffbae8]"You should have enough colour to play two level 1's, yes... but don't forget about your level 0! You can only have three attackers on the field. While you can replace your level 0 if your field is full, it'll go to the trash afterwards,"[/color] she explained, but followed it up with [color=#ffbae8]"I think it's a good idea to do so, though!"[/color] to encourage Sora. [color=#ffbae8]"Let's see... leaving one attacker to block is good. I don't want to take too much damage to my life cards, so I'll block with the attacker I left just for this. Since their level is the same, both of them go to the trash."[/color]

Rui moved her cards to the appropriate location. She also said that [color=#ffbae8]"I can't block the next one, so I have to take it from the Life."[/color] and picked up two cards from the seven in front to add to her hand. [color=#ffbae8]"There may be times where you'll need to let an attack go through to get more cards into your hand and mount a comeback. You never know if your most powerful cards were used as Life Cards."[/color]

Since Sora's turn had ended, Rui picked up hers again. She drew a card and said: [color=#ffbae8]"Just to repeat: since it's my refresh step, I can turn my previously-exhausted attacker vertically again to attack or block with it."[/color] Rui also proceeded to play another colour card from her colour deck. So far, she had three yellows accumulated. She looked up at Sora. [color=#ffbae8]"There's actually one last type of card in this game; a 'trap' card."[/color] Rui picked up a card from her hand and placed it onto her field. [color=#ffbae8]"You can place a single one of them face-down like this. They work a bit like incantations, but the difference is that they need something else to happen first before they can activate. Be careful though; you still need colour to play these! If something happens that triggers the trap card, but you don't have the colour to pay for the effect, you can't use it."[/color]

Rui picked up a different card from her hand and played it, another incantation. [color=#ffbae8]"My deck is actually based around using mostly incantations. This one allows me to pay a yellow to discard a card and deal a single point of damage,"[/color] Rui informed Sora, [color=#ffbae8]"however, this actually meets the condition for the trap card I set earlier. When I have to discard a card, I can pay a yellow to make my opponent do so instead. So, by combining these effects, now you take a point of damage and have to send a card from your hand to your trash. Do you see how traps work?"[/color] Rui gave him a smile. She also placed another level 1 on the field and ended her turn without attacking.
