Chapter 40: Magicus Land Part 1
[Luna]
Mirai was grinning from ear to ear. Well, it was because her father and mother allowed her to accompany us on our journey to another dimension. We also brought Regit with us, while Armani turned into a tattoo on Mirai’s wrist. When Mirai mastered a spell for master-guardian spirit connection, Armani completely became Mira’s guardian or protector. Well, their fate has already been tangled since the day they met.
I summoned a portal and one by one, the entire group entered. Mirai was nervous, but later smiled with excitement and slowly entered. Leena and I were the last to enter.
When we came out of the portal, a forest greeted us.
I looked at Leena questioningly.
“This is the town of Agua. This is where I met Alyssa,” she said with a nostalgic expression. Ereia, Venice, Alesia, and the others from Enchantreia gasped in surprise, and their eyes glistened with tears.
“Why do you react like that?” the others blabbered.
“Who is Alyssa?”
Alyssa?
Ah, the half-human half-snake that Leena talks about? I remember that before we disappeared from Enchantreia, Leena begged me to help the half-snake girl back to human. That poor human girl was cursed.
“We saw how Alyssa disappeared when you two disappeared too!” Ereia said, and burst into tears.
The others immediately explained to everyone who was Alyssa.
Afterward, I moved closer to Ereia, patted her shoulder, and said with a smile. “Don’t worry, Ere. Alyssa is alive. She’s here.”
When they heard my words, their eyes widened in utter disbelief.
Leena smiled and nodded at Ereia for confirmation of my words. They sighed in relief and smiled.
Then we started walking out of the forest.
“Where are we going?” I asked Leena.
“At Marga’s house, she’s Alyssa’s bestfriend. I suppose they are together now.”
When we came out of the forest, a lively town greeted us. And I saw a palace at the very end of the town.
A busy street came into view. All people have no spiritual energy. Is this a mortal world?
“They are all ordinary humans.”
“Yeah. Are we in the mortal world?”
“I think so.”
“I’ve never been in the mortal world before!”
“Look at those weird things they’re selling!”
“Mortal world is very different from our world.”
When the humans noticed us, they started whispering to each other. They wonder who we are. Because of our number, we gained everyone’s attention. It is easy to gain everyone’s attention because of our aura.
“Hide your aura. We can’t afford to risk revealing our identity.” Leena whispered.
Everyone quickly complied.
Um?
“Help! A thief stole my bag! Help! Huhuhu, my bag!” a girl cried, and in the blink of an eye, I just saw Leena run at a fast speed to chase the thief carrying the girl’s bag.
Moments later, Leena successfully grabbed the bag from the thief and carried it to the girl. They looked at each other and Leena smiled before handing the stolen bag to the girl. However, the girl is just standing there in shock and then blinking her eyes multiple times in utter disbelief. She just stood there frozen, like she saw a ghost or something. Um? What’s wrong?
We approached them and I saw Ereia and the others staring wide-eyed at the girl in front of Leena.
“Leena...” the girl finally uttered, voice trembling, and burst into tears. She suddenly hugged Leena while sobbing. “Waah, Leena! You came back. You came back for me!”
At that moment, Leena was shocked and gradually burst into tears. “Alyssa... it’s you!”
I saw Ereia burst into tears while the others had smiles on their lips, but were also teary-eyed.
After their brief reunion, the girl looked at us and her eyes widened as she looked at me. I smiled at her and winked. Her face blushed and turned to Leena. “Leena, is she your twin?!” she sounded amazed and Leena nodded.
“Yes, Alyssa. She’s Luna Syesha, my twin. And you already know Ereia and the others, while the rest are our new friends.”
Ereia immediately went closer to Alyssa and hugged her enthusiastically, finally meeting the long-lost friend. Afterward, the entire squad also introduced themselves to Alyssa.
After getting to know each other, Leena spoke. “Alyssa, where’s Marga?”
Alyssa smiled. “She’s in the pet shop! Come with me! I’m sure she’ll be happy to see you again!” We nodded and followed her.
As I walked, I saw Bryle taking glances at me, and I noticed his gloomy aura. I haven’t talked to him yet. My past actions toward him actually embarrassed me.
Mirai clung to my arm and smiled as Regit rested on her head with eyes closed. Hahaha, Regit is so cute.
A few moments later, we met Marga, and the entire squad introduced themselves.
And when she found out that Leena and I were twins, she always took glances at me but hesitated to get close to me.
Amused by her behavior, I approached her and said with a smile. “I know you have a question, so spill!”
I saw the others were busy looking at the animals in the shop.
“Ah, eh, hmm?” She looks surprised.
“Do you have power too, like Leena?” she whispered.
I chuckled. “Yep! All of us!” her eyes widened hearing my answer and swallowed nervously. I can feel the small hairs in her body rising. She’s having goosebumps. Pft.
“That’s why your presence is different. Hehe,” she said while scratching the back of her head.
Um?
I stopped when I saw a strange animal behind Marga. It is a cute rabbit with a strange color pair of eyes and fur. Its plumage can change color as well as the eyes. How did it get stuck in this place? The rabbit stared at me, and I stared back intensely. I was slightly stunned when I sensed a little spiritual energy in the bizarre rabbit. Without a second thought, I approached the cage and touched the metal then used readings on the rabbit. I was stunned when I saw the rabbit’s world of origin. A place I have never been to. I wonder what world the rabbit came from.
The rabbit also stared at me with a shocked expression.
“Who are you? I know you’re not human...”
The little rabbit suddenly talked, which surprised me a little bit. My lips curled up in amusement.
“Hi, I’m Luna. May I know your name?” I asked, and the rabbit squirmed with excitement.
“You can understand me?! Can you understand me?!” the rabbit questioned repeatedly. Her voice was full of excitement.
She seems to have been confined here for a long time.
“Yes, I can understand you.” She was ecstatic and jumped happily.
“I’m Furry! I’m from Magicus Land!”
“Magicus Land? That’s the name of your world?” Where did I hear that name before? It sounds familiar.
“Yes! Can you help me get out of here? I’ve been confined to this place for a long time.”
I pondered for a while and nodded. “All right, but on one condition...”
“What is it? I’ll do everything you will ask for!” She’s now extremely excited.
“Okay. Let us come with you to your world...”
“No problem, Luna!”
I gave her a satisfied smile and gestured to Marga. She was standing beside me with a stupid expression while looking at me like I have grown two heads. I couldn’t help but laugh at her reaction. “You are talking to that strange rabbit?” she murmured incredulously.
“You saw it with your own eyes.”
Her eyes flickered in admiration. “If that’s the case, do you like that rabbit? Do you know no one buys that poor little thing yet?” she says with a sigh.
“Really? I’ll take her then, can I?”
“Of course! Wait a minute, and I’ll get the key.” I nodded, and she left to get the keys.
Leena approached me. “You will purchase that strange little thing, Luna?” she asked with a slight perplexity.
“Yes, because she’s not just an ordinary animal, Leena.”
“Yeah, I feel it. That thing has a little spiritual energy. It definitely belongs to another world.”
“Wow! You are twins, Luna?” Furry asked with excitement.
“Yes, Furry. This is Leena,” I said with an amused smile.
“That little thing spoke?” Leena smiled, her eyes flickered. “Hi, Furry!”
“Hi, Leena!” Furry greeted back excitedly.
Marga came back and opened the latch. I picked up Furry, and she was extremely excited and nuzzled my body as tight as she could, which made me laugh. She was attracted to my spiritual energy.
The entire group approached us with an amused expression. “Woah, he’s so cute!” They smiled in awe when Furry suddenly changed color.
“It’s a girl, guys. This is Furry,” I said with a smile.
Suddenly, Furry shone brightly and stunned everyone when it transformed into a beautiful girl. Her dress is strange. The color of her dress is also changing and there are glitters everywhere. She was glowing like a fairy or something.
“Woah...” the group muttered in awe and was stunned for a moment.
Furry smiled and then looked at me with enthusiasm. I was surprised when she hugged me.
“Thank you so much, Luna!”
I giggled and patted her back. “Don’t mention it.”
Together, we walked out of the shop. Marga and Alyssa closed the shop before following us.
In just a snap of my fingers, Furry’s dress immediately changed.
“Woah, who did this?” she uttered in awe.
I smiled at her. “I did. You’re wearing something different from us and you might attract people’s attention. Don’t worry, that’ll disappear when we get to Magicus Land.” I said, and she beamed.
“Magicus!” she uttered with excitement and closed her eyes like she was trying to imagine the world of Magicus.
We couldn’t stay longer in this world because of Furry, so we said goodbye to Marga and Alyssa. They looked sad, but we can’t let them go with us on our journey because mortals can’t be in the Magic World.
We entered the forest again so that people would not notice us entering a portal.
Leena, Alyssa, and Marga hugged while sobbing. They bid goodbye to Leena in tears.
I approached Alyssa and touched her face. Alyssa gasps and looks into my eyes without blinking. My eyes glowed, and I saw Alyssa’s past. She was a girl with a snake on her head and snake-like eyes that turned a living being into a stone. She was nicknamed Medusa. Her life has been very difficult since childhood.
