Where am I
Stumbling out of balance, Hazel almost freaks out knowing she was standing on thin air.
Hazel Arden
Ah! Dont let go of me. Where am i? How are we floating?
Hazel looks around her. Mushrooms bigger than an average human. Red fumes coming out of flowers.
Hazel Arden
Wow, it's beautiful.
Realising the sudden reality of the distance between her and the land. The portal through which she came from, closes. Hazel tries to grab the portal, but slips out of Eve's grasp almost falling down.
Eve Gonzales
Stay still! i almost dropped you.
Agitated by the portal closing, Hazel looks back in fury, only to melt it away as their eyes meet.
Hazel Arden
You have beautiful eyes.
Eve Gonzales
*surprised
Uh Thanks.
Hazel Arden
Not that i am complaining but your hand is still grasping my behind.
Eve Gonzales
*flustered
Oh Sorry, i -i dint notice
'Thats enough, get down here!' a voice calls out
Hazel safely steps out on land, Looking at the gentleman in front of her. He seemed the same age but something was different. He was dressed in an emerald green vest with a monocle covering his gray eyes. He has the palm of his right hand on his chest, and the left hand behind his back
Edgar Gonzales
Greetings Soulster. I am Edgar, You can call me Ed. Welcome to Regalia. Ms. Eve is an acquaintance of mine.
Eve Gonzales
Cut the crap Ed, He is my brother. We have serious job for you. Now come along, We need to let Opaha know about your arrival.
Edgar Gonzales
Calm down Eve, Your scaring the girl. It was you who delayed the arrival by lingering in air for no reason. Now that i think about it, what were you two searching in each other's eyes?
Eve's face flushes red unable to hide the embarassment.
Eve Gonzales
*in anger
It was her who tried to walk on air like an idiot.
Hazel Arden
In my defence, people from where i come from walk on land! We don't float mid air
Edgar Gonzales
Now calm down girls, if you behave Eddy promises to give you chocolates
Eve Gonzales
Argh, this is frustrating. I had to bring her, I did my job. Whatever happens from now on, she is your responsibility.
Edgar Gonzales
Now why would you leave your friend with a man she just met?
Eve Gonzales
SHE is not my friend, she was my mission. I've accomplished it. Now she is your mission. Take care, Miss princess is new to thorns and bushes.
Edgar Gonzales
Why don't you take care of her yourself if you are that worried about her?
Eve Gonzales
I couldn't care less
Edgar Gonzales
Is that why your face grew red just a second ago? because you couldn't care less?
Hazel Arden
I wanna go home, it's so cold out here. Its getting dark.
Eve Gonzales
Don't cry now, its not that far.
Edgar Gonzales
Dont be rude to her Eve. Here wear this-
Ed removes his leather blazer and lends it to Hazel
Hazel Arden
Tell me more about this place
The trio starts their journey to reach home before nightfall.
Edgar Gonzales
This is Regalia. It's kind of a magical land. The residents are all witches, the good kind. We can cast spells with practice. Although this magic isnt ours. We borrow it from the heart of Regalia. It returns to her when we bite the dust.
Eve Gonzales
Ed is basically an addict for knowledge. He is who comes up with solution everytime there is a problem. He is also the first one to master the Sixir with very less practice.
Edgar Gonzales
Sixir is what we call the borrowed magic. Opaha is like the head of the village. Eve hear has struggles with controlling her Sixir. So she has compensated it with her combat expertise.
Hazel Arden
What is a soulster?
Edgar Gonzales
A soulster is someone who doesnt need the Sixir. They use the magic of their own soul. These type of Resus are rare. You are a Soulster. We need you.
Eve Gonzales
The girl is more dumb than she looks. Resus are magic users, basically all of us.
Edgar Gonzales
The Soulster seed blooms once in 50 years, sometimes they don't even ripen. But when they do, They are planted into your world. The seed finds the pod on its own. It blooms and merges with the soul making the Resu use the soul magic.
Hazel Arden
There is a seed in me?! How do i get it out? What if-
Eve Gonzales
There is no hope for this girl. The seed has merged with your soul. You are a Resu like us. You just need to find the focus of your soul energy
Edgar Gonzales
There is no need to freak out. We will teach you how to use the Makuto. You need a little training. You seem skilled than my sister, lets hope it's true.
Hazel Arden
What about my mom, won't they panic to see me missing.
Eve Gonzales
The time here is different, after the task is done, i will drop you back to the exact time i picked you up. They won't even notice you are gone.
Hazel Arden
Can i fly with this Makoto?
Edgar Gonzales
Its Makuto, and yes flying is a minimal skill every resu has.
Hazel Arden
Dont get me wrong, you both look the same age, are you two really siblings?
Edgar Gonzales
Yes, Twins.
Hazel Arden
Wow that sounds interesting
Eve Gonzales
We've been talking about magic for hours and this is what you find interesting?
Eve Gonzales
Are you sure this is the soulster we are looking for? She is going to rebuild the Gate?
Edgar Gonzales
We have a gate that needs to be rebuilt before it collapses. Only a soulster can do that. Sixir is strong enough to hold the gate but not enough to build it.
Hazel Arden
This all seems too much information to take in so fast.
Eve Gonzales
It takes time. Rome wasnt built in a day. Rest today and we can begin the training tomorrow.
Edgar looks at his sister in surprise.
Edgar Gonzales
Thats some emotions coming out of you sis. You never said anything like that to me.
Eve Gonzales
I was just trying to shut her up, she has been talking for a while. It's not pleasant to here her jabber nonsense like an idiot.
Hazel Arden
Sorry, i talk alot when i am nervous.
Even looks at Hazel with regret on having said that. Opens her mouth to say something but decides against it.
