Either SS saw this,

And didn't really feel like worrying about it, so since this happened he can ignore mentioning it and people will think it's dead.

That, or he forgot/didn't notice.

Celes or SS could just say it fell on a sharp rock or something. Or that Muktar killed it.

Yeah ... Muktar! He's the one what did it! ... killed that Magic Eater good, he did!

Killed it dead!

Or maybe it got stuck in the vortex or something....The joy of plot holes!

Yeah ... vortex! It's the one what did it! ... killed that Magic Eater good, it did!

Killed it dead!

Killed it dead with style!

I decided to leave room, just in case Celes wanted it alive to fight again. But still, this way we have a good ol' coup de grace finish.

would it be ok to simplify my charater a little so he can create illusions of objects normally, it's not much but I thought I'd better ask so people don't start complaining if I just do it without saying.

About the magic eater...

It's in Bali now. Yes.

Why?

Er....AMNESIA POWDER!

What really happened is it was crushed. Conveniently.

And Mephisto- I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about. He's an illusionist. He makes...illusions. Black and White here maaaaaan.

Jeeze, that's what you get for being polite. In my bio I said he could change the way things looked and now I'd like to have just a simple, straight up illusionist.
