Chapter 56:
Heart Dream - How I Got To Chase My Dreams and Myself In Another World!
The next day, they spent the morning playing more avonova and had a nice lunch at the inn. During the afternoon, they returned to Morirom and settled in Isabella's castle.
On the evening in Isabella's castle, the four reunited for a good dinner. While they ate, Isabella said:
- "So, let's take it easy for today. Why not play a game of sorts?"
- "Sure!" - said Caoilainn
- "As you agreed, let's start with you, what will be the first thing you do after you make your wish?" - Caoilainn got up and said:
- "After I become the greatest and fairest mage who ever lived" - Caoilainn swayed - "master of all mystics, magics and all there is, I would create statues of me throughout the kingdom!" - they all couldn't help but laughing.
- "Well, it is easy for me now" - said Isabella - "I will take the throne of Solerelos and build statues of Caoilainn all over the kingdom."
- "You are the best!" - said Caoilainn - "and you Richard?" - she looked at him.
- "Well" - Richard touched his glasses - "I would use all the knowledge of the world to teach Caoilainn something other than alchemy and fire magic" - Isabella put her hands over her mouth but could contain her laugh. Mazanlold did not even try to.
- "Hey!" - Caoilainn replied pouting - "I hear that slander! I'm gonna roast you!"
- "But isn't it true?" - Richard said laughing - "you always use only fire when fighting."
- "Hm, actually" - Caoilainn crossed her arms - "I'm just efficient, that is all. Most offensive magic uses bursts of energy which can be used to create flames. They usually naturally create flames, due to high temperature on the air and..." - she pouted - "I do like fire"
- "You see!" - Richard answered laughing - "If I discovered all the secrets of the universe I would know it already." - Isabella laughed more and when she stopped, she said:
- "And you, Mazanlold? What would you do?"
- "Hm, I think I would create statues to my father and grandfather, and honor their memory."
- "Come on!" - said Caoilainn - "say something you would do to you! Let's have some fun."
- "Alright then" - Mazanlold replied - "I would learn all the techniques of Master Wazike."
- "Master Wazike?" - asked Richard.
- "Yes, he is a legendary sword master, known by his dual wielding sword technique. There is myth surrounding him, some say he is already 300 years old. I'm not sure about that, but I would love to learn with him."
- "Well" - Richard said - "if I learn all the secrets of the world I tell you his current location."
- "Please do!"
- "I will drink to that" - said Isabella raising her cup. They all raised their cups and made a toast. Keeping their spirits high, they enjoyed their dinner and returned to their rooms for the night.
Each one in their rooms was tired but restless, in expectation for the following day. Mazanlold walked a lot in his room, Richard wrote notes, ideas, just trying to relax, Isabella tried reading but had a hard time focusing, and Caoilainn tried playing with alchemy, transmuting wood and wool into dolls. They all were visited by one of the maids offering Kitatik's special secret relaxing brew. Without knowing it, the four of them drank the tea looking at the night sky through the window. Dazzling comets teared the sky revealing streams of colorful light that danced among the other stars. The silence of the night, the admiration of beauty and the tea made them all drowsy, and one by one, they went to sleep. Isabella was the final one As she fought her eyelids she thought to herself - "the avonova, the trip, the tea, I hope my trick will work to make everyone rest tonight" - she stretched herself, said goodbye to the stars and also went to sleep.
