Episode 65 - We've Got a Good Thing Going

With one week left until the final raid, Allen got out of the castle, ready to leave and saw his uncle looking at Jade.

Allen: What's happening?

Mentor: She said she needed to practice more, so I allowed her to create her things outside.

Allen looked and Jade just finished making a huge water reservoir for the castle. She was proud of herself for both helping and because she usually can't create things that are that tall or large.

Mentor: Her powers are getting stronger each day.

Allen: There's no need to fear her, Uncle.

Mentor: I'll trust your words then.

Jade: Allen look! I made a water reservoir!

She was smiling like a little kid that just got a puppy.

Allen: That's a new breakthrough for you, right?

She nodded.

Jade: Haven't made anything this big before and have it work.

Allen smiled and gently pats her head

Jade: Also I'm out of blue paint.

Allen: Then we should get new ones.

They mount on two horses.

Allen: Thank you for everything.

Mentor: No, I must thank her.

He looked at Jade and gently held her hand.

Mentor: Thank you, little one, you made Allen go from a stubborn kid to a responsible man.

Jade: Little one? I'm a year older than him.

She pouts.

He laughs while Allen gets a bit annoyed.

Mentor: You will always be welcome in our family.

Jade: Thank you. That means a lot to me, it really does.

He releases her hand and looks down.

Mentor: And... I'm sorry for judging you too hastily.

He removed his hood and looked at her.

Mentor: We assumed you were a threat... Without even knowing who you are... Now I realize how mistaken I was.

Allen: Uncle...?

Mentor: You aren't a danger to humanity. You are a kind and good girl with a sensible soul... Can you forgive this foolish old man?

Jade: Of course, everyone makes mistakes. Plus fear makes people do things that you wouldn't normally do.

Mentor: Allen, I hereby revoke the order from protecting and Killing the Sage Jade Martinez.

Allen: Y-You do?!

Mentor: Make her happy and be happy. That's all I wish.

Jade: I'll make sure of him being happy.

Allen smiled at both of them.

Allen: Alright, that's enough.

Mentor: Is that a tear in your eye?

Allen: A grain of sand landed on my eye, no biggie.

Jade: Suuuure.

She giggled and gave them both a hug.

Back in Germany, Harper and Delph left the house with a yawn, ready to go.
