Dragon's curse

chapter thirty

I feel like Jeff is going to ask me about my mother, I want to tell him about her but what's there to tell and she had her flaws but she also had her quarks. I didn’t understand why she did what she did to me but now that I am older I think she was protecting me in her own way from something or someone else. My dreams are getting more intense as the years go by but I am going to keep that a secret from everyone else, I don't want to have them worrying about me.

Jeff asked cashesly, “Your mother…” he stopped for a moment as Ash looked at him with curiosity, he continued, “What did your mother do to you? I know someone that was abused by his father.You can tell me 

when you're ready to open up. I won't rush you if you don't want to talk about it if you don't want to.''

Ash quickly said “I actually have a question for you Jeff.”

Jeff smiled as he asked “What is it you want to ask me?”

She hesitantly asked “What if there was another planet like ours but it was slightly different from ours in a way and it was in a different time?”

Jeff tapped his index finger on his chin as he thought about the possibility, after a few moments he replied “I am not sure, maybe I would ask if you believe in that or not.”

Ash smiled as she said enthusiastically, “The idea thrills me you know, if you think about it we don't go by dates but by the moon and seasons. There is that and there would be the possibility that their weather is sometimes scheduled but their weather may be calculated instead of being on a schedule. If there was ever such a thing then I would like to see it for myself.”

Jeff said with curiosity, “It would be possible if they invented things in certain times unlike us, we are still learning about new things, yes but man, I think we might have bounded past some of the inventory rather than run. In just a few days we made gold and factories that can make gold.”

They quickly bursted out laughing with delight for a few moments but quickly stopped, he quickly looked at the stars while saying, “Although, I have no idea about any of those things so I try not to talk about it though.”

Ash sighed as she said “Yea I know what you mean but I wonder if there is such a place and if so I wonder if they have any magic in that world you know.”

Jeff quickly looked at Ash and said “If there is such a place, then it would be in a different realm, it would be very hard to get there and back safely.”

Ash sighed as she looked up at the midnight sky as she said, “yea but I can't help but wonder about these things you know. It's just fascinating and I already read every book that has been written so far.”

“If we are speaking hypothetically, then I don't think there is a lot of magic or there may not be any magic at all.” Jeff said with a slight glint in his eyes as he smiled. 

Ash's enthusiastic voice said, “Why do you think that?” A confused look came across Jeff's face as she continued, “I am just wondering.”

Jeff replied “Well, if there is another world in a different time then it is most likely that they dont have magic because back then the ancients were in control and they are in a completely different universe. There is the possibility that their planet is in a completely different rhythm than ours but they could also have some magic in their world but not a lot like our world.” Ash looked at Jeff in confusion, he quickly continued, “You're confused aren't you?”

“Is it easy to see that I am confused?” Asked Ash as she blushed slightly. 

Jeff said with a smile, “Yep, here let me explain a little better. If we live in one world that has magic, then the people from the theatrical world that we are talking about are most likely living in a world that is opposite to ours. There is that and you would have to also include the gravity as well, that can change the strength of the magic and that it would depend on how much we believe in magic as well but I am getting off topic. Am I making any sense Ash?”

Ash smiled as she said “It does in a way, so their world could be completely different from our world because it all depends on the world and the people.”

Jeff jumped at every sound that surrounded them as he said “Yep that is correct but that isn’t the only reason our worlds would be so different, the biggest effect with the magic is that it could also be replaced by something completely different.”

Ash asked in confusion, “Replaced by what exactly?”

“It's something new that I just heard about from some kind of group… what was it called though…Oh, I remember now, It was called religion.” Jeff replied.

“Hmmm, never heard of it.” Ash said.

Jeff laughed out loud for a few moments and as he stopped laughing, he said “Ok that's enough thinking and it's time for bed. I will take the first watch, these woods aren't exactly a hundred percent safe. Go on ahead and get some sleep.”

Ash nodded in understanding as yawned from exhaustion as she slowly layed down to the ground and quickly fell asleep in an instant as her eyes slowly started to close. After a few moments of silence she quickly fell asleep in an instant as the crackling embers filled the calm air. 

Jeff slowly sang in a calm voice, “Setting sun don't fall deep, let the sun shine upon the cold sky and give us light. Moon falls into the dark as we sleep through the night for peace.”

Ash smiled as she slept peacefully with a small hint of a smile on her face as she dreamed sweet dreams with delight for as long as she could.
