Blue moon night

Friday 20 October 2006, Luna Nova

"Well, my relationship with Croix didn't really improve much, she wanted to take a break and we just became friends, which ended up with us having much less contact, it was clear that what was once an active and intense friendship had become just a time for us to see each other and exchange glances and occasionally talk about how things were going with my career, I was still pretty down about our relationship, but I continued to train with my mum, who was teaching me more things so that I could get each of the words right, and on the morning of one of the days I got another chance, since the night looked like it might be my chance."

I'm a little exhausted from training so much, my body is pretty broken for today, but my head is pretty much in place, I think Croix's decision to take a break wasn't so bad, even if I really wanted our relationship to flourish and reach new heights.
You stop training, I'm even managing to be much more precise than before, I wouldn't have thought that all my dance lessons could help my movements, you can tell by the way my mum has been using the moves.

"Okay, that's it for today, I think you're doing well, your head's more in place and I don't see you worrying about Croix so much anymore" said my mum.

"Well, she wanted to take a break and leave the friendship, so I don't have much to worry about apart from getting the seven words, I think I'm ready for the second word" I say to my mum, who's getting a big smile on her face.

"Well then Phaidoari Afairyngor, that's the second word, but the meaning of it, it's up to you to have an idea of how to look for it, when I looked for it it was on an autumn night like this, here in Luna Nova there are more frequent blue moons, which I went into one of the many secret chambers here to explore and I could find myself in an ordeal, I think it may be a chance for you to try" That's very interesting indeed, if you help me I will certainly try.

"And do you think that I can do it in the same place, even more so if it's the same blue moon night that you say?" I say curiously.

"Well, I don't know about that, but you won't get the things you dream of, Chariot, but you'll get the things you chase after. That's what I always say, try to chase after your dreams more" she said, stroking my head and I smiled a little.

"Well, it's something I've done all the time Mum" I just shrug and walk towards Luna Nova.

"I know that, girl, go take a shower and have a good lesson, that's all for today" Phew, I was really getting exhausted.

It's not enough to wake up very early, I still have to train my body to the limit of what it can handle, it's really as challenging as it can be, but I'm managing to manipulate my magic better, it's quite different from anything I could do before, it's bizarre how I never really knew how to do it, now my control of magic is one of the best in my class, this way I might even become the best.
I huff and puff my way to my dormitory, where until then the corridors had been pretty deserted, there's no one awake at this hour, it's seven in the morning, they must still be getting ready in their rooms before classes start.

Well, another day at school, I've improved a lot compared to the clumsy girl I was last year, sometimes I'm a little shocked that I've improved, I still don't understand how I could get so good, I wish Croix could see my progress more closely, but she's not even in my class, well it's time to go to my room, I'm going to enjoy playing a little rest, maybe at night I'll be able to find the second word.
On the way I reach the corridors to the dormitories, there was Croix, near the staircase, since her room is on the upper floors I came to try to talk, let's see if she'll stay with me in the room today, at least to play.
