thump!

"we're heree!" oceana gestured around the clearing in the woods, it looked like a regular clearing, really.

there was a small pond, that almost looked like it was glowing and that was about it.

only special thing about this clearing was the amount of mana in the air, it was almost like particles of dust moving through the air.

"there's a lot of mana here." william looked around in curiousity.

"mhm! the pond has more, though!" oceana pointed at the pond.

"how did you find here?"

"oh, it used to be a regular clearing in the woods, but i train here, and, over the years, it's just grown to be like this, the trees do a great job at containing most of the mana within the clearing." oceana brought william by the wrist to be closer to the pond.

"you turned a normal clearing in the woods to this by yourself?" william wondered as he helped oceana set out the large throw blanket she brought.

"oh, you've not seen the best of it, willy." oceana told him, placing the basket on a corner of the blanket and sitting down with william.

oceana turned back to him, "do you want to eat now or later? i gotta warn you, i brought cereal." oceana smiled slyly, making william laugh.

"just cereal, no milk?" william teased.

oceana gasped in mock outrage, "cereal without milk? no way!" william laughed again.

"let's hope you brought no ginger to snack on, or the milk might mysteriously dissapear." william teased again.

"that was one time!"

"you ate a second slice after it!" he laughed, "nebra also told me how she passed you on the hallway and you were eating a bell pepper like an apple."

oceana looked to the side, "i actually thought it was an apple at first, i bit in and realised, but then, nebra was in the hallway and i didn't know what to do so i continued just eating it."

"oh my god!" william laughed.

oceana brought out two glow sticks, "i thought we could stay here until night, i brought glow sticks, we can watch them glow at night." she smiled, holding one out to william.

william laughed, bringing out a bunch of glow sticks, too, "what a coincidence, i actually bought a bunch of glow sticks as a gift to you."

oceana gasped overdramatically, "you know me so well!" they both laughed, exchanging glow sticks.

i thought i should warn all of you, you might get bombarded tomorrow as i'll be publishing everything left of this story, have fun~
