Magical Affairs

Chapter 11

When I woke up the next morning, Sun was already gone. I heard the noise coming outside my door from all the people in the house getting ready. I got up and went to the altar to pay my respect to my family. I sat down on the floor for a few seconds just trying to remember their faces. I was not afraid to die but I was afraid of losing Sun in the upcoming battle. While I was on the floor, someone knock on my door. I got up and open the door. Nate was standing there with a plate of food. I was shock to see him there since there was so much things to do before we leave.

"I was just coming to check to see if you are up," he said.

"I'm up," I replied.

"We are about to have breakfast together so I wanted you to be there especially with what's going on to do," he mentioned.

"I'll be there in like 10 minutes," I replied.

Nate left and I closed the door. I went to the bathroom to get ready for breakfast. I was excited for this breakfast because I am not sure what going to happen after we leave the house.

I left my bedroom and walked toward the dinning room. When I walked in, I was breathless. The room was decorated in vibrant colors, a magical tapestry for the Songkran festivities. The room had water-themed decorations shimmered with enchantment, droplets frozen mid-air, suspened in a dance of perpetual celebration. There was a mild scent of jasmine in the air. I felt a little bit underdress since everyone was wearing nice clothes.

I turned around to see Sun wearing colors that mirrors rippling waters and blooming flowers. He saw me and started walking toward me.

"You look beautiful today," he said.

"I was about to say the same thing about you. Why didn't you tell me about the breakfast so I can dress up as well," he replied.

"You look beautiful in everything that you wear," he said.

"You are so cheesy but thank you," I replied as I gave him a kiss.

Everyone started to get something to eat and then Nate came into the room holding a vessel filled with enchanted water.

"Hello everyone, I know today is Songkran but we decided to celebrate it a little bit early. We want to everyone to have a good time, laugh and enjoy each others. We have some special prepared for the kids after breakfast since we are not cancelling all other events today. Before we doing anything else, I need everyone to stand up for a second," Nate said.

Everyone in the room stood up as requested by Nate. Nate then started casting a spell on the vessel of enchanted water, "

In waters' realm, this spell I weave,

From vessel's grace, let blessings cleave.

Sprinkle, dance, in vibrant hue,

Songkran's magic, binding true.

By this spell, our ties entwine,

A Songkran's blessing, a bond divine."

As the spell's final words was said, a shimmering mist of droplets materialized above the vessel. With a wave of his hand, the magical water droplet dispersed onto each person in the room. Once the droplet adorned on my head, I felt relax, calm and ready.

After completing the spell, Nate was the first one to leave the dinning room. A few minutes later, Sun and I followed suit. We met Nate in his office where the other people from the other houses was waiting to start.

"Everyone, before we go, I made you guys something to wear. It a magical cloak that I created for everyone. It's enchanted so you have control about how the cloak will look. It's resistant to basic elemental magic but not from higher level magic and allows you to go invisible but you are not silent," Indigo said.
