Chapter 133

　　Maia

　　I run towards all the children and tap a little orc boy on the shoulder.

　　‘Tag, you’re it,’ I giggle and runoff.

　　He chases me, laughing.

　　‘I'm going to get you,’ he yells.

　　Ember comes running up to me, leaps onto my chest, and knocks me to the ground. I playfully grab him and lift him into the air above me.

　　‘Ember, I think everything is going to be okay now,’ I smile.

　　Sparkles begin to swirl around Ember. He is suddenly too heavy to hold. Different colour swirls engulf him, then two arms appear, then two legs and long red hair. Ember falls flat onto me as my arms can’t hold his weight anymore. Our foreheads bump together on impact.

　　The girl before me is very pretty and around my age with beautiful long hair like mine, but in a lovely shade of red. Her skin is fair, with cute freckles across her nose and cheeks. Her eyes are green, and she has a cute little nose.

　　‘Maia!’ She yells in excitement and wraps her arms around me.
