Damien's Novela

Chapter 18

Damien's pov

So, this was the Madrigal family? Camilo's family. My Vita Socium's family. They seem like a lively, and strangely magical group. I sat next to Camilo in his Casita as his Tia Juileta served me a bowl of thick soup with thicker pieces of bread. I ate relatively silent while Camilo listened avidly to his only primo about his jaguar friend's cubs. It was rather adorable. Mirabel was trying to get closer to Val, and Val was smirking behind her drinking glass. So, my student was her Vita Socium, and she's in it for the long run. I wish you luck Val. 

I went to scoop another spoonful of soup into my mouth, when Selkie, the now thirteen year old looking selkie, pushed a potion under my nose. 

"Master needs to take his potion."

"I will, thank you for bringing it to me."

I drank the potion, recoiling at the taste and remembered Mama Sofia's death and the first meeting I had with the Madrigal family. 

"Damien?"

"Don't worry, mi amore. The potion makes me remember things, but only a little bit at a time. Two more days, and I'll have all my memories back." 

'Damien, come see how far I progressed my magic."

I followed Mirabel to my room, and sat on the grass. Mirabel flew beautifully and gracefully through the open air. She created a large twister, but it didn't create damage. It made a light breeze wash over me. The twister shrunk into a small orb and erupted into a swarm of pink and green butterflies. I applauded her as she flew down to me. 

"How'd I do?!"

"Fantastically! That was an amazing performance! I'm proud to call you my student."

"Thank you! Where were you for the past five years?"

"I was in Tir Na Nog."

"I see, so you were gone for five hours there, but five years here."

"Yup. Fae time is strange, but not the strangest thing you'll see. So, you and Val."

"What?! Nothing is happening! Did she say something about me?!"

"Calm down.  I'm just teasing you. What's her scent to you?"

"Lavender and honey. She smells so good."

"That's because she's your Vita Socium."

"Really?! SHe already had a Vita Socium!"

"That was one of her past lives. A Witch can only one Vita Socium per lifetime. Wasn't that explained to you?"

"Yeah, that was one of the first few things you taught me."

"Damn, I'm a good teacher."

"Are you okay Damien?"

"I'm fine. More than fine,, my core is completely healed."

"What?! I thought cores couldn't be healed!"

"Me too. The doctor said that he was completely shocked, but I'm not going to take my healed core for granted. My magical output can be increased tenfold than what I previously got used to. Give me a minute to show you what I mean."

I stood up to walked a couple meters away from Mirabel. I used levitation to float, lifted all the lake's to the sky, I levitated Selkie to sit on my shoulders. I manipulated the water to take on many different shapes. I saw Camilo run to Mirabel, so I made a single rose from the water and had Selkie freeze it. I levitated Camilo up to me, sending Selkie to Mirabel. I held him, placed the ice rose in his hair, and kissed him.
