The Magical Islands Of Da

Chapter 5.5

One thing was clear, all the props seemed to be either used up or broken to the point where they were no longer usable.

Cole looked around the room a little anxious, he slowly looked over at Elijah. "Ehm, is this all you work with? I'm not saying it's bad but, is that really all you got?" Cole asked.

"Why yes this is all I have and all I need. Is there something wrong?" Elijah responded, his eyes were still red. Cole went up to Elijah; Yuna on the other hand was wandering around the room aimlessly.

"No, nothing is wrong. It's just, just this won't beat Gedeon and Hadeon. We need more, we need to do something big...something magical for the audience...also are your teeth white chocolate?" Cole said.

"Why yes, they are...you've got a keen eye, but that doesn't matter. But what do you mean by magical?" Elijah responded. 

Cole was quite puzzled at what Elijah was saying, questions had formed into his mind.

"So wait, do you not know how to do performance tricks?" Cole asked. He noticed Elijah's eyes turn orange. 

"No I do know I just don't know how to do magical tricks. And I don't have the talent to entertain people, gosh I'm just useless in this world! I'll never be a good entertainer..." Elijah responded afraid.

"Hey that's not true, don't tell those stupid lies about yourself!" Yuna said as she walked up to Elijah, putting one hand on Elijah's shoulder.

"Well...what would you notice if you had the talent?" Cole asked.

"Notice? Well if I had the talent...I would never skip a beat on creating new acts for people to watch, I would try to think out of the box, try to change the game. I would try to make people happy while doing those things, that's what I would see if I had the talent." Elijah said. 

Cole and Yuna saw the entertainer walk to the center of the room, he started to do a little dance and was humming a tune. Elijah started to flip a coin between his hands, the coin flipping got faster the more he didn't mess up. Eventually he flipped the coin in the air; it landed in his pocket, Cole and Yuna gasped at the sight. 

Elijah then stood with his two feet together, he put his arms behind his back. Cole and Yuna saw Elijah started to lean to one side, about to fall. Cole and Yuna ran up to Elijah to catch him. He didn't fall, but he started leaning the other way. Cole and Yuna went to the other side to make sure Elijah wouldn't fall. 

This kept going for a couple of seconds until Elijah finally stood his ground without leaning, the entertainer took a deep breath and looked at his new friends. 

Elijah's eyes were green. 

"Hey ehm...that was wonderful! Look, Yuna and I are going to the Moonstone Zone to meet the mighty. She wants to be given dignity by others...and I want to get home to see my family." Cole said.

"He wants to go home, which is the sacred land of California! Have you heard of it Elijah?" Yuna asked. Elijah was looking between both of them and scratched his head.

"Yeah...not really. Gosh it must be so cool to live in a land called California. But if I can join you on you, please count me in. But we're clearly not gonna beat Gedeon and Hadeon. Also why do you both look like you're in a hurry?" Elijah asked.

"It's because...The Sinful Sorcerer of the Reality Zone is following us. So, unless you want to take the risk, I wouldn't recommend it. Plus, he's following us because of this..." Cole responded while pointing to the glistening golden vest. Cole adjusted the bowtie he was wearing.

Elijah checked a clock in the room, he looked back at Cole and Yuna. 

"I'm not afraid of any evil sorcerers. If it means I get the chance to get talent, then I'm taking it." Elijah said.
