Adam and Lucia jumped from the scream and broke off from the kiss. Adam was pushed by Lucia and fell to the ground. hitting his shoulder on the coffee table.
"OWWW!!! that hurts! the hells wrong with you, huh?"
"Why did you kiss my lips!?" Lucia turning all red, covering her mouth with her hands. "it was my first kiss"
"WHAT!? My fault? you were the one that moved!" Adam replied.
Cecilia collapsed on the ground and started crying. Her blonde hair covering her face." Someone got to him first" she said, tears forming in her eyes.
Adam and Lucia turn their attention to Cecilia. Lucia regained her composure. " Anyway, the contract has been sealed and is active. I'm regaining mana " she stood up, looking at her hands. Twisting and turning them, then changed them into fists. Black flames envelop them. " Yeah, its flowing steady" momentary relief appeared on her face.
Adam looked in awe of the sheer coolness of the black flames. Wow, wait a minute. CECILIA'S HERE!!!
"Lucia put out your fires now! there's a normal human being here" Adam urged her.
" Oh come on, let me savor this for a minute. Besides, the word normal does not apply to that girl making your floor wet over there"
"Hey, she is normal. I've known her for about 10 ten years, you just met her for 10 seconds. If she was a mage, I would've seen something related to magic done by her in the ten years I've known her and al- " He stopped his lips from moving because of a sentence being said by Cecilia that he heard.
"I can't believe a corpse got his first kiss," Cecilia said to herself, stood up and wiped her eyes. Both me and Lucia heard that. Lucia gestured at Cecilia with her hands that were still engulfed in black flames. "See what I mean..."
Adam ignored her and proceeded to ask Cecilia a question "Umm, Cecilia. How do you know she's not alive?" He asked. Cecilia picked up the food she dropped, walked to the dining table.
"I scanned her body while having my hopes and dreams being crushed right in front of me. She doesn't have a single pulse on her," she said as she set the food on the table. Lucia put out her flames and crossed her arms. "well, well. I never thought there are still mages living in this world"
After that, all of them sat at the dining table. Adam sitting on one end of the rectangular table, with Lucia and Cecilia sitting facing each other. I went and started eating the food that was brought by Cecilia. Even though it was dropped and a bit mushed, he was desperately hungry.
"So who are you?" Lucia ended the awkwardness and asked Cecilia.Cecilia was just staring at me with a smile until she was asked a question. "My name is Cecilia Ambrose. I'm a 5th-degree mage and practice healing magic"
"You are actually a 5th-degree mage, how old are you again?"
"15" Cecilia replied. Lucia was astonished,"You are definitely a rare mage to exist in these times, 15 and already achieving 5th-degree magic"
Adam swallowed,"Hold on a sec, I thought you said you can only be a mage when turning 16?"
Lucia sighed, " I said that was one way of becoming a mage. Another would be your wannabe wife here, she comes from a lineage of mages, they can use magic right after being born. If I remember correctly, The Ambrose house was wiped out after the war"
"Almost the entire house, My great grandfather came here after the war. I'm the latest member" Cecilia answered.
Lucia continued to slurp Adam's coffee. "Well, that's enough of that. First of all, I'm sorry for crushing your hopes and dreams. I was in a dire situation and needed a contract. Second of all, We need to get Adam to the magis consociatio in Ealim Muazi as fast as possible. He's on the church's hit list for some reason. He'll only be safe there"
"Why go there?" Cecilia asked.
"Because I think he is going to play a big part in ending the fight between us and the church"
Adam was in the kitchen washing his plate, unable to hear their conversation. He just kept thinking about Cecilia being a mage. Until he heard a voice in his head.
Danger is approaching, Adam. Be prepared for a fight. In time you'll remember who you are, Who we are...
Adam looked around. "What do you mean by that?" he asks but the voice disappeared. He brushed it off as nothing. He turned the tap off and went back to the dining room.
