BOOK 1 - Destiny (Shonen Anime Style)

Chapter 46: Already Over

The intense and destructive battle that happened between Leah and Kadiah had finally came to an end. Both girls were resting against a tree right next to each other, taking some time to relax while also chatting joyfully about many things.

"I see... So there are in fact many limitations with that void illusion technique you used before" Leah muttered after asking Kadiah about her powers.

"That's right. It's not as simple as you think" the warlock girl replied with a grin. "My illusions actually require a lot of effort to be made. And the bigger the illusion I want to create, the more energy and time it takes."

"But still..." Cybel intervened. "Even if you are limited by your own stamina and time, to be able to create anything out of your imagination is something anyone would wish to do"

"That's precisely where the other limitation comes into play" Tera then replied as Leah and Cybel startled a bit.

"What do you mean? What is the other limitation?" Leah asked while raising an eyebrow.

"Well..."

"Hey! Let ME say it!" Kadiah complained while pouting childishly, to which Leah and Cybel couldn't help but to sweat-drop. "Anyway..." she then continued as she turned to face the hunter girl again. "Contrary to what you may think, I can't exactly create anything I want"

"Y-you... You can't?" the huntress questioned.

"Yeah... When I first discovered my technique some weeks ago, I tried doing it many times. But as it turns out... my creations are actually linked entirely to my own personality"

"Which means?"

"It means... that I can only create stuff related to my greatest tastes and likes" Kadiah finally claimed with a childish grin.

"Stuff related to your tastes? So you mean that... you like flowers?"

The warlock giggled slightly. "Hihi... Not just flowers. I love all kinds of plant life and gardening in general! They are like... I don't know..."

...

...

...

"One of my greatest passions"

Leah startled yet again. And then, she couldn't help but to smile softly and gently at such moving words coming out of the awoken girl. She had actually discovered something entirely new about her best girl friend after all. She now knew that, just as she and Ravi were in love with literature and technology respectively, Kadiah also had her very own passion in the end.

"You know? I actually have a garden in the Tower which I like taking care of a lot" Kadiah continued while staring downwards with grin. "It's not too exotic or big, but it's very well-preserved... and I love it"

"That sounds great" Leah muttered, happily. "Why don't you show it to me once we get back home?"

Kadiah startled slightly and then gasped in happiness. "R-really?! You wanna see it?!"

"Of course! I'd love to!"

"YAAAAYYY!!!" At that moment, Kadiah felt like asking Leah about her powers this time. "Well... What about you?"

"M-me?"

"Yeah! Your powers are amazing too!" Kadiah clenched her fists in excitement. "That flashing lightning you let out during our fight was simply stunning! And the way you moved around the entire battlefield and trees was just... so beautiful!!!"
