The magic in us: The Cross Of Two Souls

35: Well Let's Take It Back Then

Feeling movement around me I slowly stretch and wake up.

Sitting up and opening my eyes I see a cat-like creature resting at the foot of the bed.

It lifts its head and we stare at each other. Slowly walking over I reach out my hand.

As it rubs its head against my hands I start to pet it gently.

It hops around different surfaces around the room trying to follow me as I go into the bathroom and brush my teeth.

Rinsing and spitting out what's left in my mouth I look around the room to figure out what to do.

Noticing that there's a balcony I walk out and rest on the railing.

With my little companion next to me I watch the sunrise.

It's a lot more beautiful here than it is on earth.

Seeing the cat stand with caution I turn around to see a dog-like creature running towards me.

Kneeling down I hug and pet it as it jumps on me and licks my face.

Laughing I get up and head back into the room.

Playing with them for a few minutes I pull out the scroll I brought out of my pocket.

Opening the room door I look around to find anyone who can help.

As someone walks by I tap them on the shoulder and say, "hey you wouldn't happen to have a map of this place would you?"

"A map? Oh wait I do, here you go" they say handing me the map.

Thanking them I head back into the room and set up for a locator spell.

Holding the scroll up I draw some of its essences and use it to pinpoint the other piece of the scroll.

It takes a few seconds to work but when it does it reveals the location of the other half.

Oh, thank god, at least it's here. Memorizing the area where it's located I put the map and the scroll away.

Seconds pass and Adam walks in with a tray of food.

"Oh god, so sorry about them, we've been saving the strays from the village but we don't have enough people to watch them" he apologizes as he gets them out.

"It's alright, they're very sweet, thanks for the food," I say eating everything on the tray.

The food was amazing, whoever made this should get praise.

"Oh one more thing, I brought you another set of clothes, I figured you didn't want to deal with the ones you already have on with all the dirt and sweat, and even though it's custom to our realm clothing I tried my best to fit it to your taste," he says handing me a box.

"Thanks, yeah I was actually starting to get annoyed, I'll get changed real quick," I say heading to the bathroom.

Opening the box I pull out pants and a shirt that looks completely different than what I'm used to but they don't look too bad.

There even was a long rugged coat at the bottom of the box. Oh, he knows me too well.

Changing my outfit I look at myself in the mirror and think that I look like an apocalyptic survivor. How fitting.

Walking back out Adam stands and smiles when he sees me in the clothing he brought.

"They really are comfy," I say and he nods in agreement.

"People that do decide to wear clothing see it as a way to learn a lot about people, mainly because they are always customized to the soul of the person, for you they made it so you'll be able to fight in it as well" he explains looking me up and down.
