Alex Red and The Seventh Element

Chap. 5: The Kellynghall Palace

As the days went by, Alex noticed substantial changes inside the house, first, regardless of his opinion, it was clear that they intended to continue in a bubble, although that did not have a reason to be, because he already knew a part of the truth, even so, he realized that this time it became extremely excessive.

The special broom transcended as if he owned the property of his sword, (... he preferred to think so) and they used constantly, and now he knew that his function was not to remove dust, and some objects had lost their ace of perfection, and others were added in unexpected places, a disaster.

But the worst part is that it apparently not only affected him, but more than once he realized that Rosanna suffered from an insufferable headache, Casimir used to lose hours of there, because that was making him sick, Alis practically did not performed appearances, it caused dark ailments, groaned heartbreakingly, to name a few examples. In general, the consequences of trying to retain the magic current were observed in all, however, after a brief period of time, he understood that at some moments in his body he felt it, since his bones almost wanted to split in two, sometimes even caused him pain.

The feeling was greater when he almost escaped to take a walk around the street; what they had strictly forbidden, and with which he received multiple scolding from his mother, it was more than clear that Kellstock must be close to a geomantic point of those, so they preferred to keep it closed between walls that could contain, or something for the style; not like Epson Hall.

Now he felt with certainty that he did not perceive these sensations there, independent of the fact that his mother had somehow managed to accumulate a little magic. His attempts practically worked, but at the moment he felt it, he felt as if, Alex would not know how to describe it, he did not stop speculating maliciously that, if he ran away from there, he could finally, perhaps see himself in his natural state, his pangs in the body they showed that their true being wanted to explode.

The second thing that called his attention to a greater extent, is that despite they acting very well, his mother was very sad, sadness that a certain sense emanated everyone, but every time he tried to investigate, the tears dried quickly, and they said that nothing happened, but something certainly happened, several subjects were missing in those revelations of the day he reached 21, he was more than certain, the missing data linked the past with the present, and perhaps even in the future, possibly.

The third, on the other hand, might be silly, but that beautiful mushky, either did not act as faithful as his race, or had completely changed his fidelity; towards him in this case, because already in an extreme obsession, he even coveted to doze next to him, the behavior of a dog, perhaps, but for what he analyzed, the first 2 or 3 days, was so unconditional to Rod, even more than Casimir, but nowadays he accepted that his behavior looked very different, nor did he go out to run with Rod, one of his favorite activities, nor did he frolic by biting Casimir's archaic socks, Alis only followed him everywhere, except in their meal schedules, or when it routinely disappeared a few hours.

But what was truly magical in a way of saying, was his gaze, it reflected almost as if he knew more than he did, it seemed an impudence, but he couldn't help appreciating it like that, as if he had known him for a lifetime, and that coincidence still I couldn't believe it, since he was turned years exactly the same day.

Moreover, that promise that there was no danger, did not radiate in those who lived there, if there was in Epson Hall, at the end of the world, and so far from the magic lines, however, they assured that there was no danger there, that with Casimir they would not dare to attack them. Casimir will be an angel, Linda may be an ogre, but the reality is that her enormous powers were not showed, they were quite paranoid, the occasions that she spotted Rod, hiding in the basement, training with a sword of equal characteristics that he used to beat that galgog, or Linda trying to make strange rituals that lasted countless hours, and those sudden departures from Casimir, apart from his sufferings, seemed almost as if he was preparing.
