The Magical Islands Of Da

19. A Good Magician

 He looked at Cole before looking up at the sky and becoming lifeless in front of them both.

"COLE? What did you do? Why did you do that? He's gone now! NO! He can't be! I can't lose him, I still need to...I...no..."

"Jess I'm sorry, I had to defend myself! There's gotta...there's gotta be a way we can bring your father back, maybe there's a spell or..."

"COLE, there is no spell! There's no spell in life to cheat death!" 

She sobbed on her lifeless father for a couple of seconds, no words were exchanged as the rain poured down even more in the moment.

"I'll never be able to hug him again, knowing he was there to protect me, or to talk to me, since no one else ever did, not even mother...now he's gone and...I'll always wish I could hug him one more time."

"Maybe you can...maybe The Mighty can bring him back, if he is all powerful...he can bring back your dad...I can see it from your face, you don't want to."

"I know he can be that powerful Cole, but dad swore to protect me from him, and I don't want to go against his wishes."

"Jess, wouldn't you want one more chance to be with him? I say what other option do we have? It's the best thing to do. But if we're going there, he's gonna want that vest." 

Jessica looked at Cole before looking back at her father.

"Okay, I'll get your bag and umbrella, you bring the vest in the box. We bring my dad...I just hope you're right Cole...I just, sigh...I hope you're right." Jessica responded. 

They both stood up, after a few minutes of getting everything, they took the stuff to a carriage attached to two horses that were outside the castle, her father was in a coffin attached to the top of the carriage. 

Cole and Jessica went inside the carriage while one of her guards would command the horses.

In The Moonstone Zone, a child with sports gear was running near a castle, the sky was bright with moon rock butterflies floating nearby. She was trying to catch the butterflies with a net, eventually capturing one. 

She looked at it before letting it go, the butterfly would float down the road and would lead to two horses and a carriage coming up fast. She pressed a button on her sports gear, 

"Mom...Dad...there's somebody coming up to the gates." 

Two parents would come outside to see what their daughter was looking at, the father took the daughter into the castle grounds while the mother stayed outside.

The carriage stopped and the man who led the horses hopped off, "It's an emergency, he needs help. He's been killed and needs special treatment. But he brought over some things before he passed away, his daughter and her new friend. 

Cole and Jessica stepped out of the carriage, it was so bright that Cole had to adjust his eyes to the surroundings, his eyes adjusted to the mother that was staring him down. 

"Ms. C...Caitlin? Is that you?"

"Guards take the body inside, as well as the man's daughter...and the vest, I need to speak to Cole Newman. 

A bunch of guards brought in the carriage with the horses, as well as Jessica and her guard. 

"I thought, we thought you were dead...I can't believe you're alive. How did you do it? How are you still standing right now?"

Cole was taken aback by the question from Caitlin.

"I'm alive because of that girl, the father's daughter...her name is ehm...Jessica, without her I wouldn't be standing here, I want her to be safe...more than anything she wants her dad back, can he be brought back for her?"

"You would want him alive? Even after all he did to you?'

"Yes, I don't care about the past! I don't want to be the reason she doesn't have a father!"

Caitlin went on one knee to look at Cole eye to eye, she put her hands on his shoulders. 

"I hear what you're saying, I'm gonna tell my husband the situation, we'll do all we can. But I can't promise you anything Cole, in the meantime we're going to put you in a guest room...okay?" Caitlin responded.

Cole nodded slowly and looked down at the ground.

"Where are my friends? Are they okay? Did they make it? Or are they gone as well?" Cole looked up at her once again.

"They made it, hurt but they made it. We patched them up and they'll be fine, they're currently not at the castle right now but they'll be coming back soon, in the meantime, why don't you settle down for a little bit. 

Cole nodded and started to walk to the castle with Caitlin.

"Oh and one last thing Cole. You are a good magician after all." Caitlin responded.

Cole smiled and put his arms behind his back.

Later as Cole was lying on his bed in the guest room, a knock was at the door, Cole slowly woke up ever so slightly as the knocking increased.

"Gah...okay I'm awake! Come in! Come in! You don't need to knock on it more than once!" Cole blurted out as he sat up in his bed. 

The child that wore the athletic outfit walked in, "Hey I need to ask you a question..." 

They both walked to a garden of flowers in the castle.

"So, have you ever been anywhere but here? Like have you seen the world? And if so, what's it like?" 

Cole looked over at her slowly shocked, "Well before I went to these islands I didn't go many places, I just stayed home."

"Ah! I can relate to what you mean! Yeah."

"But then I explored a bit of these islands, as much as I liked the thrill of it, home is where the heart always is. And it's just calmer and more peaceful."

"Nice to meet you adventurer...or explorer, whatever you call yourself! The name's Lilly, and you?"

"Oh well nice to meet you Lilly, ehm...name's Newman, Cole Newman." 

They shook hands before someone spoke, "Cole you're alive?"

Cole peeked behind Lilly, even with all the beautiful flowers in the room, none of them stood out compared to Yuna.
