7.Extra - Hopes

One morning, Caoilainn and Isabella were having breakfast, coffee and cake, when Caoilainn said:
- "Hey, Isa, what are your hopes for the rest of the story?"
- "Hopes, hm?" - Isabella replied, sipping her coffee - "well, I hope we have a good and fun adventure, that we find Anima Mundi and that we stay together to the end." - she took a breath, a bite, and a sip - "and you, Caoi?"
- "I hope that we find all the power and secrets we wish" - Caoilainn was getting excited - "I hope we make an explosive success" - she got up - "I hope our adventures become an anime, a play, some movies, games and that we take the world by storm" - she made a pose - "and I hope that people really love my character and show their love through many cosplays!" - Caoilainn looked determined.
- "You are one of a kind, aren't you?" - Isa replied and Caoilainn laughed at this - "however, we should not create many expectations, this book is a serial, which is still being released..." - Caoilainn returned to her sit and said:
- "Wait" - she paused - "a serial? Really?"
- "Yes" - Isabella took a breath - "the author is writing this serial for a writing contest" - she took another sip of her coffee to prepare herself - "and it is due in just one month*"
- "One month?!!!" - Caoilainn shouted with her hands over her face - "then the author must hurry!" - she looked up - "Hey, dear author! Come on! Write, write, write, don't stop! I wanna see the end of our story!"
- "Yes" - Isabella continued - "I wish the best for him also" - she also looked up - "don't give up! We are rooting for you" - she took another a bite and looked at Caoilainn - "and, do you have anything to say to our readers?"
- "Our readers? Yeeesss!" - Caoilainn was cheerful - "Thanks for reading! We hope you are enjoying and continue to enjoy our journey! And please vote for me if one day there any popularity polls! Tehehe~" - Isabella laughed and said:
- "Yeah, that's my best friend for you! Dear reader, thanks again for reading and I hope you enjoy this to the end!" - both of them cheerfully continued their breakfast.
