The magic in us: The unity of realms

05: For Indifera

Waking up from the aroma of something delicious I notice that Nyx and Aria aren't here.

Cracking my back I check on Ohera. She's asleep and it looks like her injuries are getting better.

Leaving her alone I fold the blankets I slept on before heading out and looking for the two of them.

Opening the door I am immediately blinded by the sunlight but the overgrowing trees make up for it.

Searching for either sign of one of them I find myself wandering a little farther away from the hut.

Hearing twigs snap I check my surroundings and remain on guard.

"Sorry for scaring you, I was just collecting some stuff for Nyx," Aria says appearing from behind a tree.

"Oh it's just you, need help caring some of that?" I ask and she hands me some of the items she collected.

"Nyx is just behind the hut, follow me," she says and I do.

Can't believe she was just behind the hut, I would've gotten lost if Aria didn't show up.

Meeting up with Nyx I see that the aroma is coming from the pot she's using.

"I got the last ingredients you asked for," Aria says setting them down at the table next to her and I put the rest down.

Looking like she lost something she says, "thanks, oh where is it?"

Watching as she fumbles around, me and Aria look at each other confused.

"What are you looking for?" I ask and she slams her hand on the table.

"I had a bag that contained marbles filled with magical energy but I can't find it, I need it for the damn stew," she says in defeat and I walk over to the pot.

"Hey I know this recipe, you need magic to give it its flavor, I'm guessing you don't some of your own?" I say and she shakes her head.

"Well then tell me where to put the magic energy," I say and she appears confused at first but goes with it.

As she adds the remaining ingredients she tells me what to do with my magic and where to put it. She was very strict about the timing of it.

As soon as we finish making the stew she thanks me for my contribution. Not even questioning my magic. Makes sense given the lifestyle she's living.

I head back inside the hut to wake up Ohera for breakfast.

Walking in she's already up. "Whatever she gave me is working, I feel almost amazing," she says standing on her own.

"I'm glad to hear it, come on we made breakfast," I say and she follows me behind the hut.

As Nyx serves us our meal we eat in silence, expecting one of us to bring up the conversation we are longing for.

"Have you developed a plan on taking back Indifera?" Nyx asks looking at me.

Putting the empty bowl down I say, "I have yes, we're going to need numbers so we'll first break the Lynith warriors out, we should be able to decrease the numbers of traitors and get queen Athena to take control, I'll handle the monocle guy while the two of you deal with helping the queen"

With everyone looking at me shocked I start to get confused. Why are they looking at me like that?

"Well done Adam sounds like a solid plan," Ohera says congratulating me.

"Agreed, it's important to keep the city calm and keep the morale up during this fight" Nyx chimes in.

"Well then, the three of you better get ready," she says and we head inside to collect anything of use.
