Magic is not everything

CHAPTER 13

Kasandra recounts

The next day I wake up in such a good mood and instinctively reach for the medallion around my neck. Everything was real, I think and realize that I have a smile on my face and I go down to the kitchen, and when I get there I see there uncle Derek is already sitting at the table reading a book. I hadn't talked to him since yesterday and I still thought he was upsed at me for lying to him, I don't even know if he wanted to talk to me anymore.

" I can't be upsed at you forever, Kasandra." Uncle said, still looking at the book.

Without adding anything, I ran to him and took him in my arms, and he answered my hug and at that moment I knew he had forgiven me.

" Derek, what are you doing here, " my mother's voice can be heard on the stairs, " did something happen? "

Uncle Derek had slipped away from me and walked over to my mother, hugging her.

" I just came to visit, I wanted to see if you're okay."

Then he helped his mother sit down at the table.

" Where's Beetles?" Mom asked.

" I made him study some magic books in the mansion, hoping he'd find something to help us, he's probably asleep now, but it's good that he keppeing something from eat." he said, pointing to the stew on the table I hadn't seen before.

" Before I start anything else, I want Kasandra to tell me again about her dreams, down to the smallest and insignificant detail, okay?"

" Derek." My mother said in a warning tone.

Uncle Derek looked at her and said:

" I have no choice, Katherine, I need as much information as possible."

I don't want a fight to start between them so I say quickly:

" It's okay, Mom."

Then I tell him from beginning to the end my dreams with church and Dire Magnus, then about Grandpa Pym, aunt Emma, ​​Eric's grandfather and the fact that that's how I met Eric....

" Wait, " my mother interrupted me, " you mean that's how you two met?"

I nod.

" It's just that I don't understand the last dream, why weren't you there from the beginning when the rest of the team to saved aunt Emma? I'm sure you wouldn't have stayed away, why didn't you go with them?"

I was looking at my mother and I knew I had touched a sensitive rope, but sometimes my mouth spoke without my consent.

" Your grandfather wouldn't let me come, he said it was dangerous ..."

" But so it was for uncle Michael and others...I saw you when you appeared next to them and how you looked at Dire Magnus as if... " I was trying to choose my words carefully "...you would be trusted him... not, like you really wanted to trust him... I know that despite what Dire Magnus said, you still trusted my grandfather even then," then I had taken a break, " you're pretty vulnerable around him, aren't you? "

My mother doesn't answer, I just lower my head, then I change the subject and then I start telling them about the mysterious letter, the information from Zoey and finally about my father, how he was a real hero.

" Kasandra, did you see in your second dream where Dire Magnus sent Emma's spirit?"

I think for a moment about Zoey's question, I know that auntie's spirit was in the world of the dead to find the Reckoning, and I realize that I know more than that, I had seen something, even if it had been for a split second. It flew over a high rock and there was a figure that looked like a huge bird. I had studied all sorts of magical creatures over time and realized that it was a carriadin, a protector of that world.
