The Window

Going Home

We started preparing our things for the big journey the next day. As we were preparing stuff, something hit my mind. "Luna, you're not mentioning Brandon these days", I said. She smiled then said, "Brandon is a great friend. Probably more than a friend. But i could feel it in my bones that we were going to leave one day, so I didn't want to hurt him and myself". She sighed then added, "So I just made sure to keep us distant. But of course I cleared the situation for him. I trust him so much, so I told him about this all magic thing. He seemed to understand. It's just i don't like to talk about it..it makes me upset". She sighed again. I felt guilty so I apologized and she told me it was okay.

An hour later, we finished packing our things and were ready to leave. I took one last look at the place..but didn't feel anything. All the time I had been thinking I was home. I wanted to think I was home. But at that moment I felt brave, I was ready to face the truth, i was ready to embrace happiness again. Not only Grace was waiting for me, but I was waiting for me-waiting to finally go to the place where i belonged.
At that moment, Grace's words hit my mind. "You'll lose me only if you thought you did. I'll always be waiting for you to find me. All you have to do is believe". All you have to do is believe. But wait, I did believe in magic. Why did she say that? Luna could recoganize the confusion drawn on my face. "Dad, is everything okay?", she asked. "Luna..remember what she said on the day she left?", i answered with a question. Luna smiled then said, "Perfectly. You'll lose me only if you thought you did. I'll always be waiting for you to find me. All you have to do is believe. I lov-". "Yes here!", I interrupted. Then continued, "Why did she tell Roger to believe if she already knew he did believe?!". Luna went silent for moments, also confused. Then her eyes went wide and she said while smiling, " Maybe she did not mean believe in magic. She meant believe in their love. Gwen knew that Roger will be so heartbroken, and will probably hate her, so she was telling him that their unique love is what will make Roger go to Sihir and search for her!". I looked at Luna amazed. I could see intelligence crawling out of her eyes. And I was sure stupidy was crawling out of mine. "Luna, you're just..so smart. Thank you for..everything", I said with a happy mouth and a happy heart. A wide smile occupied her face, then she said, "Come on now, we gotta get going. We have a Gwen to search for. We have a home to live in". I smiled then nodded. We went upstairs to her room, and crossed to the magical land through the window.

We did not find each other, because each of us had a magical land unlike the other. She were in a galaxy, and i was between the green heavenly hills. I felt young again. I felt perfect. Butterflies around me and in my heart. I felt like floating in place called happiness. Everything was amazing. Except..Grace. Whenever Roger came to the magical land, he had Gwen in his arms.
I wandered searching for the door. After about two minutes, i found it. One believer was keeping it company. As i approached, i could see the smile on his face clearer. "Hello. Robert Edwards", I said while shaking hands with him. "Jake Hamilton", he said. He was a wandless believer. He placed his hand on the door gently, then said, "Abierto Sihir!". Colorful sparkles appeared, as Gwen and Luna discribed. Then the door opened. We entered. And as i placed the first step on Sihir's land..I felt home. I couldn't prevent the tear from rolling down.
"Beautiful, isnt it?", said Jake who seemed to be in his late 20's. "Heavenly beautiful", i replied with opened eyes and mouth. After seconds, Jake pointed at a woman and a girl who was waving and approaching, then said, "Guess that's your daughter with Agatha". I told him it was. Luna and Agatha were then standing with me and Jake. Agatha said, "Guess we gotta move. They will perform the oath in half an hour. We get to arrive early so that they practice it before performing". "Right", replied Jake. Jake said, "Movanto ta castle", then clapped his hands. And in no time we found ourselves in an enormous, magical castle.
