Legend of the Immortal

It's Magic

The night devolved into a game of monopoly and a couple of drinks.

It was simple and fun.

"Well Belle? I think it's about time these two youngsters found out, don't cha think?" Jason calls out.

"Yeah, Noah here has been telling me that your little girl has dug up those old papers?" Joel remarks.

"Dad...Why are you bringing them up?" Noah asks.

I nod, my mind still unable to comprehend what was happening,"Y-yeah. What about them?"

"Wow. It seems like we did a pretty good job of keeping it a secret. It's so well kept even our kids can't put the pieces together!" May laughs.

"Belle? Gracie? What's going on?" I turn to my parents who were both smiling wryly.

"You cheeky little minx, you. Convinced everyone to make me do this." Belle sighs.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Yeah! What the heck are you all going on about? Is this some sort of secret inside joke?" Noah questions his Father.

"Alright, alright. Calm down you two. Babe, how bout a little more hands on approach? Maybe show them?" Gracie asks.

"Fine, fine. Let's start this. [Limit Power. Level 30.]" Belle chants a few words and I listen, unable to understand what she was trying to do.

"[Coolfire]." Belle waves her hand and a ball of blue flame appears within her hand, floating aimlessly, gliding around Belle's palm.

My mouth hangs open in complete shock, my eyes fixated on that blue sphere, my body unable to move or even function in that moment.

"T-that!" Noah stammers loudly, pointing at the ball.

My face of shock soon turns into one of amazement, my eyes moving around rapidly to find how they managed this magic trick.

Yet, the more I looked, the more incredulous this magic trick became.

I saw no sleight of hand, no wires, nothing.

"This...What is this?" I spoke breathlessly.

"You know what it is, my darling. Go on, take a look at it. Don't get too close." Belle whispers as she moves her hand, the sphere moving towards me.

The closer it got, the more I began to sweat, my heart palpitated, my hands got clammy as I blinked rapidly.

My hand instinctively moves forward, but the sphere slides back,"No touching, remember?"

"This...This is crazy." Noah says, his eyes similarly fixated on the ball.

My mind whirred, scrambling for an answer.

Nothing made sense.

That's it.

Nothing made sense.

It's-

"Magic." I whisper.

Belle smiles,"Indeed it is. It's magic. And magic can do amazing things."

I my eyes widened as Belle snapped her fingers.

In a flash, everything was gone, only her, Noah and I remained in our seats, stuck in white space.

"W-what is this place?" Noah asks as he looms around.

"A box made entirely out of magic. You can make anything looking nearly genuine that it's basically genuine." Belle snapped her fingers again, a chair popped into being.
