Chapter Twenty-Six -- Day 26

        "Well, what do you think?" Myra asks me while smiling.

I look around. "This is unreal." I say. "How is this possible...?"

"Magic my dear. Magic is always magical. You can do anything with it." She smiles at me.

I shake my head and let go of her hand.

"Where are my parents?" I ask her.

She laughs. "A little eager, aren't we?" she asks. "Come with me." She starts walking towards a dirt road path.

I follow after her while still looking around.

"What year is it?" I ask her.

"About seventeen years into the past." She replies. "You haven't been born yet." She doesn't bother looking at me while talking. Her eyes are focused on the road in front of us.

I nod my head. "I've been dead a long time now."

"You're cheery about this, aren't you?" she laughs a little. "You were born in this century. You haven't died yet."

I shrug my shoulders. "I still plan on going back to year Twenty Thousand X." I tell her.
"You won't want to after seeing all of this." She replies. "Trust me."

We stop walking when we reach a small cottage.

"Stay close to me." She says. "I'm going to cast an invisibility spell."

I frown. "Why?" I ask her.

"We can't just walk in on people without them seeing us. This way I can show you without us being noticed." She says, her voice sounds annoyed, but I can't help with asking all these questions.

"I'm sorry." I apologize.

She doesn't say anything. Instead, she waves her hand over me.

I feel a warm tingle pass over my body, and then nothing.

"Come on. Keep up with me." Myra begins walking towards the cabin.

She snaps her fingers again and walks through the door.

I frown a little before following after her.

I feel my body jerking through the door and slight pain.

"Ow." I mumble.

"You'll get used to it." Myra mumbles. "Now be quiet. We might be invisible but they can still hear us."

I bite my lip and nod my head a little.

I catch Myra rolling her eyes as she turns away.

"Did you hear that?" another female voice says from one of the rooms.

I start walking towards it.

"No, there's nothing going on, Maya. Don't worry about it." A male's voice.

I stand in the doorway and look at the couple sitting on the couch.

"But that's...!" I look over at Myra, standing there with a grin on her face.

"Yes, it is." She says. "That's your father, Orion was his name." she turned to look at me. "He left before you were born."

I shake my head. "But... Castor said..."

"Castor lied to you. He's only using you for his own benefit. You shouldn't listen to him."

I look over at Myra and Orion sitting on the couch again. He leans over to kiss her once again on the lips.
