CHAPTER 15 - Spark Of Magic

"What in the--!" Collins flabbergast at the harsh wind by the Fairy Queen. "I'm afraid your fight shall end here, do not make any further damage to my Fairy Kingdom! Or else you will all be blown away from this land." she scolded the gang and went flying away. Collins was amazed of how powerful they all were. "I wish Lianna was here to see it,"

As if a call, Purple clouds of magic immediately appeared out of nowhere high above the sky. Lianna was pushed out and fell, Collins and some of the gang panicked. But though she was caught by large leaves, falling onto them one by one til she landed to safety.

"Oh thank goodness you're here and safe!" Collins immediately hugged Lianna, "Wh-what happened?"

"You were gone for as long as--" Collins paused, counting the time she missed with his fingers, "--2 months and some days that-I-can't-count-since-it's-been-so-long!" he blabbered to her, Lianna gave him a 'suspicion' look.

"Um, it's 27 days ever since we reached this Wind area." the child priestess recalled. A child has more memory than a grown man, hilariously ridiculous.

"Oh and Lianna! How am I going to tell ya thatmagicissoamazing!"

Lianna froze at the word. Despite the fact that he said it so quickly, the word was too clear. Magic... It's odd how their experiences of magic differ to each other.

"Collins, um..." she paused, Collins looked at her with eagerness, "... I think we should talk."

"Why sure! I don't mind! I've also got something to say to you too!" he was excited. "We're going to excuse ourselves for a bit," Lianna told the Witch who simply stared at them blankly. She immediately picked up her withered behavior,

"Um Collins--"

"Hey Lianna--"

They synced each other.

"Well uh, you go first," they said in unison,

"No you." they were at equal thought.

They were embarassed at their unison together, but Collins immediately brushed it off. "Hey uh, Lianna?"

"Hm?"

"Can I request something to you while we're still here?" he said sheepishly, he had a deep blush on his face.

"What is it?" she asked, still not picking up at his mood. Her senses are strangely dull.

"Can we live here? I-I mean-- this place is full of magic! Our lives can be easier here! That is, if we learn from them." he whispered the last sentence.

Lianna was dumbfounded by his statement.

"ARE YOY INSANE?!!" she whisper shouted at him, hopefully no one heard it. They were behind a tree in the dense forest, and at the open area are the gang waiting for them. The child priestess turned her head to Lianna's yell, the witch also moved her purple orbs to the tree where the two were hiding.

"We can't," she answered.

"Why?"

"Just NO!"

Collins went silent for a moment. He searched around, lost for words. Lianna looked down gravely as she remembers that night. "We just can't, okay? I'm--I'm not in the mood right now." she turned her back on him and walked away. Collins had mixed feelings and wants the reason to be told. "Why?" he muttered.

"Why are you always like this, Lianna?"

Lianna paused at her tracks, since when did he call her by her name?

"Why? ANSWER ME!" that was the first time he shouted at her. It made her turn to look at him. Furious eyes were fixed on her, his fists were rattling with anger, a vein is visible on his forehead.
