Du Nord: The Believing heart lost years (EN)

The first day on Ennel Lake

"Just arriving at the cottage was a fun moment that day and also that afternoon, which gradually got more and more exciting, I always get a smile on my face remembering that place and I was always waiting for you to show up there, anyway, we were going to have to wait a good few years for the cure to come, but the worry was already on something else, since we came to the place just to forget about those things, live life and let the cottage make us relax."

Wow, the water war and jumping in the lake were already marvellous things, just on the first day, I already loved getting here and relaxing a bit, now to be with the children here, my sisters, they're so cute, it's so nice to see them like this, I wish Diana was here too, it's a shame I won't be able to be near the eldest.
I get up after spending some time with my sisters, then I see that Phoebe is sitting on a sofa outside looking at the sky, she has the expression of someone who is a little frustrated.

"So did you enjoy yourself?" I ask her and she rolls her eyes.

"I'm still angry at being forced into it, but it wasn't so bad, the jumping into the lake part is fun, but then the plan to take my mobile phone still stands" I nod.

"Let's enjoy it here Phoebe, there's no need to pick up the mobile phone" I tell her.

"Are you going to tell me that you really enjoy these old people's things? Well, Chariot, you've got to enjoy it more, we could turn up at a party near here and then you'll know what you're missing" I just shrug.

"Yeah, I like it, it's been seven years since I last came here, you still played a lot back then, I had everything taken away from me, you have no idea how hard I had to fight to get here, that's why I have so much fun, apart from the fact that I still have the best girlfriend of all, look I don't want anything more than that" I say rubbing the back of my neck.

"You really do get away with very little, but you could get away with more, that's all I'm saying, well apparently I'm going to be alone in this, a shame, I'll have to enjoy this boredom" It's not that boring.

"Well that's up to you, because honestly I'm going to have a lot of fun here, apart from the fact that we still have video games here, there's still a lot of fun to be had here" I just shrug and go outside, where I see that Megan is playing by herself.

Well, if Phoebe is going to sit there, I'll at least move and do something, Meg will certainly want to at least play with something, I walk over to her and see that she was playing on the floor, it looked like she was hitting some cards, I quickly sit down on the floor nearby and she notices my presence.

"So do you want to play cards?" She asks and I nod.

"How do you do that?" I ask her.

"Look at this, you pick up the card, hit it and the next thing you know it creates a current of air that turns it over, it's quite fun, I'll give you some cards and you start with them, whoever has the most cards or all of the opponent's wins" I think I've got the hang of it.

She gives me a cupcake with 20 cards, which we start by putting only one of each in a pile, I see her go first and neither card has turned over, I even realise that she uses both hands for this, I think I really understand how she does it, come on Chariot.
I hit my turn, the cards don't turn over, it's harder than it looks, there has to be a right way to do it for sure, which on her turn doesn't go either, I try with just one hand and this time I succeed which I even celebrate all excited, for managing to turn over both.

"You see, it's very simple, just hit it right and it turns over, you've already won your first one" I'm all smiles, I've never played one of these before, it's really good fun.

"That's pretty cool! I've never played like that" I say as I draw more cards, putting more into play.

And now that I know how to turn it, it will be easier, I try again, but I can't turn even one, which Megan arrives and puts her hand further away from the cards and hits the ground which causes a little wind that turns only one, that's very clever, I hadn't thought of that, I think now I have to turn this one so I don't lose.
I take a deep breath and put both hands on the card and it doesn't turn over, it's still out there trying to use the wind, but the card only makes one mistake, now it's my chance, I'll take this chance of hitting the hand and it doesn't come to anything, which frustrates me a lot
