A MAGICAL ROMANCE

An actual miracle

After a 10 minute walk I finally entere the little forest. It smells so fresh and natural. I take deap breaths to calm myself and enjoy the scent. I start walking deeper and deeper in the forest. I stop at a specific tree. It was a huge oak tree with almost a chair carved out from its roots. It was gorgeous and tall with a rich crown. I sit down in the little sitting spot, as usually, and look up at the little sky I can see. I sit like that, wondering about Vesuvia. How could it be there? Is everything ok? Did the plague start again? And more deeper questions like: Are the people I love even alive? I would never forgive myself if anything happened to anyone. I think a lot about Asra. How is he doing? Is the shop still working? Did he find someone else?... Most of the time I stop at this question because I realise that I am going too far, but today I wanted to see how far my mind could lead me. What if he did indeed find someone else? Is he happier with that person? Does that person even love him? Not more than I do, that is for sure. I stop and turn my head to one side so my cheek rest on one of my shoulders. I close my eyes for a solid second and when I open them up again, the little flickering light of magic was there again. I didn't want to touch it because than it would disappear again. I sat up slowly and observed it. It's aura was so familiar but yet it seems so distant. I try to concentrate on it's magic without any success for a while. When I almost gave up on trying I heard a little voice say my name. It was week and almost silent. It came from the little light. I close my eyes and concentrate even harder on it. 'Tanya!' it happened again but now it was stronger, at least a little. For some reason I felt like answering so I did. 'Yes?' It was silent for a solid second, but than the voice spoke again. 'Can you hear me?'. 'Yes' I answered. At this point knew I wasn't imaging anything. There was a little voice in the magical light that was talking to me. I feel that I am getting tired from the concentration but I keep on focusing because I didn't want to lose the connexion. I could clearly hear a giggle and some kind of nonsense of cheering. It could also have ben screening or something, so I asked :'Hello, are you ok!?'.The voice answered in an extremely excited tone. 'Yes, yes I am great darling!'. I still don't know who this person is, but they are calling me darling?? 'Eum... i don't want to be rude, I can't really hear your voice so well, eum... Who are you?' I asked a little confused. 'Oh so you don't know who I am do you?'. The voice really sounded like a whisper, like it was in my head, it was a pretty neutral voice. 'No, I guess...' I tease back. 'Well this will be fun,' continued the little voice 'What kind of hints could I give you? Well maybe this will help.' It sounded like it was looking for something, but after a while I heard another voice.' Friend ok? ' I was in shock. It...it sounded like Faust, but than that other person must have ben... I freeze in shock while a huge gasp escaped my mouth.' The first voice started giggling, I guess he heard my gasp.' A... Asra!?'. I could barely speak out his name. 'Ding ding ding, you guessed it! Good job Tanya!' Tears start running down my face. Now I know why the magic was so familiar. I am frozen in disbelief, tears start running down my statue like face. 'Are you there Tanya?' he asked. I started sobbing and I guess he heard it because he automatically started comforting me. 'Hey it's ok I am here, you don't need to cry, everything will be fine. I...' he stopped his sentence waiting for me to answer. 'H... How did you... W how can you... How did you do this?' I sad while ugly crying. 'I was working on this spell since... Well since you left.' the tone he ended the sentence with broke my heart. I never thought I would ever be able to hear him, and now he is, I mean his voice is here. 'I am sorry I couldn't do anything my magic-' I got interrupted by him. 'It wasn't your fault...it was mine. Only if I was stronger I could have stopped Lucio.' he sighed and left some space. 'Maybe I could have stopped him, maybe I could have saved you. But I couldn't. But at least now you are here! 'he tried to cheer up the mood.' Yes and that Is all that matters!'i said while whipping away my tears.' I missed your voice so much, you really don't know how happy I am that I finally found something to contact you!' he said.'Trust me, I do know. I missed you more than anything ever, I never thought I will even hear you ever again.'
