DaniSogen - The Magic Unfolds
Ingun was the first of the adults to wake up this morning, and of course, she knew what her life time wish was. ;) When she wakes up and that is her first thought, it is clear that she wakes up as her original self, and that therapy is working.
Elisa woke up soon after, and started to clean up the toys around the house. Natalie wanted to talk to Elisa, because she wanted to know a little more about what had happened to bring Elisa to come down to town... she didn't quite believe the story she told about the burning smell... she thought there was more to it than just that... It didn't make sense for her that Elisa would be so easily scared..
Natalie: Elisa, excactly what happened yesterday?
Elisa: What do you mean, Natalie? I already told you...
Natalie: No, I don't think you did. What happened Elisa, and why isn't Alfred with you?
Elisa: Oh, Alfred, he uh... he uh..
Natalie: What happened to Alfred, Elisa?
Elisa knew she was cornered and had to tell the truth. "Don't tell the kids, Natalie" she spoke in a whispering voice "but they got him. They came to my cabin yesterday, in the form of a snake. I had cast a protective spell on him, just like on you, but... they still got him. They poisoned him with their bite, and then he.. caught fire, and.. it happened so fast, and I tried, but my powers couldn't stop it..."
Natalie: Wow, Elisa, but.. if your powers can't help, how can we...
Elisa: My powers alone can't help much anymore.. but if we stick together... thats why we have to go to the elixir store. Now.
Elisa: That means you too, Ingun.
Ingun: Oh, d-d-do I really have to?
Elisa: Yes, you do. From now on, it is vital that we all stay as close together as we can..
Natalie: But what about the kids, Elisa? Will they be safe at school?
Elisa: Yes, Natalie, they will.. I already cast the spell on Isaac yesterday, it should have some effect..
Natalie: But what about Aaron and Billy?
Elisa: Aaron is safe, and Billy too, as long as he is with Aaron..
Natalie: What? How can they be safe? Did you protect them too?
Elisa: Lets hurry up now! We haven't got much time to waste!
Elisa takes Ingun and Natalie to the elixir store...
Elisa: Come along, you two! The Elixir store is this way! Just around this corner!
Elisa: We've got no time to waste. Now, lets buy what we need and get out of here.
Elisa: I would like two Magic for Beginners in angel version, as well as two beginner wands. And uh.. an alchemy station if you have one..
Birk Birkesson (store clerk): I'll get you the books and wands you want, but unfortunately we have no alchemy stations in stock right now. We are expecting a new delivery next week, please come back then.
Further inside the store, Ingun and Natalie had gone around to explore..
Ingun: Hey, N-N-Natalie, this mirror just t-talked to me! It offered me a m-make over!
Natalie: Don't be silly, Ingun. Mirrors can't talk!
Ingun: N-Natalie! Look! I'm swirling!
Ingun: Oh, help me, what is this??
Ingun closed her eyes from the bright yellow light that surrounded her. The light gave out a strange low pulsating hum that made Natalie freak out.
Natalie: Aaah, what is that sound!? Its the demons!
Ingun: Its alright, Natalie. L-look, it gave me a n-new dress!
Natalie: Ingun, w-what happened?
Ingun: The mirror, Natalie! Its alive! It t-talked to me, and gave me t-this new dress!
Ingun: I could f-feel this light surround me, as if it c-came from some strange power above! You should t-try it, Natalie!
Natalie: But Ingun.. are you sure this isn't some kind of trick? Maybe that dress is cursed...
Ingun: But I f-feel so pretty! I have n-never felt this pretty before! I don't think this is c-cursed at all! You should try it, Natalie!
Natalie: I don't know, Ingun.. I'm not convinced.. I feel fine just as I am..
Ingun: C-c-come on, Natalie! I t-tried it and came out just f-f-fine! And I thought I was the c-c-coward here!
Elisa: I see you have discovered the mirror there, Ingun, you look absolutely delightful. Now, I have bought the things you and your sister needs.. lets hurry back home, we should be safer there..
Natalie: I told you that mirror was dangerous!
Elisa: Its not the mirror, Natalie. That was a Agape, a Virtue.* Hurry up now, we're going back home!
*A Virtue is a type of deity that controls the elements and they are sometimes described as "the shining ones" because they appear as sparks of light.
Elisa: Behind you are the wands, I put them on the kitchen bench for you. Now, what I want you to do is pick up those wands, and the books from the living room table and read the first chapter.
Elisa: Then after reading the first book you can practice spell casting, but only then. And do NOT try to cast any spells on anyone until I say so! Do you understand?
Natalie: So.. what..? How do I practice spell casting if I can't try it on someone?
Elisa: Because you need be 100 % sure you are casting the formula correctly.. The words of the formula must be spoken the excact same way, every time! One wrong word, and who knows what effect that could have! So in the beginning, only practice on objects!
Natalie: Ok, well I don't want to get anything wrong..
Elisa: Did you get this as well, Ingun?
Ingun: Y-yes, but what if I hurt m-myself?
Elisa: Just read the book first, and follow my instructions and you'll be fine. I will be here the whole time.. now, lets get to it. The books are on the living room table..
And so the sisters picked up their wands and sat down and studied their first book about magic, while Elisa watched over them from the rocking chair. Until both of them had to go to work, that is.
Ingun: I'm s-sorry Elisa, but I t-think we have to go to work n-now!
Elisa: Oh, that is fine.. but we will continue tomorrow! No slacking!
Natalie: Yes, dictator..
Elisa: I heard that, Natalie...
With mom out of the house, Aaron decided to invite Lenore over for another visit.
And Isaac wanted to become best friends with Samira, so she was asked to come over for the evening as well. Both Aaron and Isaac was happy that neither of them declined and should be around any minute. It was only Billy (of the kids) that didn't have a wish to hang out with anyone.
