of wonders. Cirocco as the Wizard, to solve problems where
she goes and take care the Titans will survive.
But it is too much responsibility and she becomes a notorious
drunk. Gaby is a problem solver as well, but not the Wizard.
Maybe that is why she sees through Gea's games and wants to act
agianst her, trying to convince Cirocco. But Gaby has nothing
to loose.
Meanwhile all kinds of people come from Earth to be heeled.
But it is required by Gea to become a hero before one can be cured.
And so the paths of Chris (from Earth) and Robin
(from the Convent, a little witch) cross with those of Gaby and Cirrocco.
After a lot of mischief and Gabies death (due to the nasty
game that Gene has cooked up with Gea), they do become heroes
in Gea's eyes and are cured. Robin returns, but Chris stays
for his love Vilia a Titan.
All events sober up Cirrocco quit a bit and make her see things clearly again,
but here life as the Wizard is over and she has become now the Demon and Gea wants

Great story! You have no choise but to read on and on.
