Love magic trapped in stone

Chapter 12

>Previously on Love magic trapped in stone: Senku while I'm gone you and the others start making the Gunpowder. I need to check on something.” Michelle looked at the others as they ate there food / *You have my permission to speak to him like this I'll explain things once I'm back* Ruth looked at his mother as she smiled gently down at him / *What is she exactly thinking? At a time like this we can't start playing games.* feeling unsure and looking at the humans not knowing the dangers they will soon face. / “3 signals…” the blond woman said as she picked on the fire below with her stick while Michelle was on a branch smiling mysteriously as her eyes flash green. * hehe… seems like everything falling into place. Senku I hope your ready, cuz things are about to change.

Few hours before the explosion

Both girls where looking at each other, each looking what the other will do. Even when Michelle showed a kind and childish smile she knew this girl was no fool… *So she has some brains… she will be useful for later. Now to get her on our side.* putting her hands down as she then went to take her bag knowing that this new girl was watching her every move she couldn't help but form her plan and more in order to get her to meet the others. “so why are you here alone?”

her eyes gaze into her blue ones as she seem to just pause for a bit for a thinking affect, humming lightly and looking at the sky she knew she couldn't tell her the full truth. “Well… to be honest I just wanted to be left alone and walk…but I guess I've been left alone for a good while… say why are you here Kohaku?” Michelle asked looking at her fellow companion as she seems to gaze on her vase looking sad for only a bit.

“I came here to collect some water… I need to take it back home.” She couldn't help but pick up the sadness and longing in her voice, and knowing that type of tone Michelle knew far well what it could mean seeing she had to face it as well when working back in England *So is Either she needs it for a bath or she needs it for someone else… no it's definitely for someone else… someone dear to her.

Humm if we go to her home I’m sure Senku can help fix the problem and we can gain there trust. I must say this is promising already* Michelle couldn't help but give a smile but one that was unnoticed to the human. She knew when a potential Ally could be found and she knew this human is the key for more help. As a mage and friend to Senku she did mention she would help him how ever she could… but by law she can't fully help the humans seeing that will make too easy and mages are forbidden to help humans fully. They can only help guide them mostly on making a choice, and for now she knew this was like a blessing for there future development

“Well… Kohaku if you want I can help you carry this… we can take turns that way you don't have to get tired.” The blond looked at Michelle, before she could say a word how ever they heard and explosion in the distance, making both drop there own thoughts as Michelle start to run while Kohaku was on her tail as they got up on one the trees to see the black smoke. “no way…” Michelle was getting worried seeing she knew far well how dangerous gunpowder is but before she could give a message to her son she saw that Kohaku was in deep thought. She saw this was an excellent opening, “that must be my friends.” “There are more of you?”

she asked Michelle this time a bit more serious but she only nod her head and smile more as she lean against the tree crossing her arms. “Yes. To be honest there 3 more of us. There are my friends… but then… there's the enemy.” Michelle's smiling face soon gone but then replace with a look of worry, Kohaku took notice and was wondering even more about this new group. “Enemy?..” “Yes…I thought we could be friends… but it seems, we sadly can't agree on things. And sadly because that now he's after us and I fear he will try to kill us… I'm trying my best to cover our tracks but… I'm scared for my friends.”
