CHANGED

Mr. Sethock's point of view:

Liam's one of the guardians that I train, I have really come to like him so much because of the effort he puts in as the guardian leader. About five minutes ago the headmistress called me about something concerning him, so I came down here to the guardian's house as soon as I could. I was really shocked to hear the news; I still am as I'm sitting on the stair case waiting for him to return. This does not sound like Liam, at all.

"Oh, Teacher," a voice says and I look up, it's him.

"What are you doing here?" he asks

"Well, I came to hear about the witches that have been set free in Elfadia," I respond as I walk down the stairs to him.

"The witches!? How!?"

"The headmistress thinks it has something to do with the stolen key. Someone must've stolen the helaphim," I say

"This is not good…" he thinks

"Well, tell me about you, I wanted to hear how things are going before I leave." I stop in front of him

"Well... I think I've found the one," he smiles

I smile, "You told Harmony about your Feelings?"

"Uh...no," he laughs. " Harmony is just a childhood friend; the woman I am talking about is, Bexy, I love her" he claims as he walks to sit on the first stair.

Even though I am shocked at his response, I still smile, I don't want him to be suspicious of my questions.

"Oh, she's uh...a very beautiful lady," I comment turning around to face him.

Every time Liam needed someone to talk to or seek advice, he'd always come to me. Of all the beautiful things he said about Harmony, how much he loved her and wished things would be different in his country.

"this is not Liam!"

"Teacher?" He calls

"Oh sorry, I was thinking about my wife, I forgot to buy the ingredients for dinner."

"Oh," he replies

"I'd love hear about this magnificent young lady, But I must get going," I excuse myself.

"It's okay, I'll see you tomorrow at training," he says

"I don't think you will be at training tomorrow, the guardians leave for Elfadia right now and you are going with them,"

"Oh, well then goodnight,"

"Goodnight son," I walk away

***

Harmony's point of view:

Cari, Reseda, Michael and Clyden are getting their horses ready outside.

Alina, Teva, Max, Tecno, Disco and I are seated in the living room. Max, Teva and I in one row and the other on the next sofa, facus.

"I don't know what side effects that love potion will have on my brother, I fear for his life. Having such dark energy inside him, who knows?..." I can feel Max's pain as these words come out of his mouth.

"Don't worry, he's a warrior, he'll be okay." Disco says, "I mean like he has to, you people are as dry as a desert, I'd die of boredom."

"What if he doesn't make it?" Max doubts and his words go deep inside me causing me to burst in tears.

"Oh no, Harmony," Teva receives me in her arms

"He won't die, Harmony" Tecno says

"Why did you have to say that, Max?" Alina scolds

"I'm so sorry, Harmony, I didn't mean to." Max apologizes

"Hey guys, have you seen the others?" Liam walks in, I look at him and my heart breaks even more

"Hey, are you okay?" He looks directly at me

"Yeah, she was just watching a sad movie, you know how girls are" Tecno says

"Say what?..." Alina looks at Tecno and Liam laughs

"I see," Liam respond

"Reseda and the others are infront outside getting ready," Tecno says

"Thanks," he leaves.

"Something is different about him; about us. They way he used to look at me has changed."

"Come on Disco, let's go to bed," I remove myself from Teva's arms and get up.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Alina asks

"No it's fine, I'll eat tomorrow," I reply walking out from the row.

"Harmony, don't do that, the food is almost ready, please stay," Max begs

"I don't have an appetite, I'm sorry," I look at them. " I'll see you guys tomorrow," I walk away with Disco beside me.

We both walk up to my room and I lay down on the bed, facing the roof.

"Harmony?" Disco calls.

"Hm..." I reply.

"Everything will be alright," he says

"You think?" I ask

"I know Liam, even though I haven't been here that long; he is a good guy and trust me when I say he loves you more than anything,"

"How would you know that? He said there's a girl he wants but he can't be with her because they are from different countries," I tell him.

"Well all I can tell you is that, that girl is definitely not Bexy because Bexy is from Alanza also,"

"I guess…"

"Go say goodbye to him, on missions like this, you never know if you will see him again,"

"I don't know, Disco," I hesitate.

Disco flies over to the window

"Just go, I see them outside they are not gone," he informs and I get up to look through the window.

"There he is,"

"I'll be back" I tell Disco and run out of the room.

"Evening," I greet the two guards standing opposite the opened doors.

Immediately when I reach the outside, Reseda notices me first as she is facing my direction talking to Cari, Clyden and Michael while standing next to their winged horses

"Harmony!" She waves at me and they all look except for Liam. There's this lady next to him fixing his hair, but I can't really tell who she is as her back is facing me and she has the hoodie of her purple jacket on. I walk to Reseda just so I can see who the lady is.

"Hey…what are you here?" Reseda smiles as I approach them and Liam looks at me including the girl opposite him, she takes off her hoodie and smirks at me.

"Bexy,"

"I came to say goodbye again, and to wish you all the best," I answer

"Thank you," she hugs me and I hug her back

"Be careful," I tell Reseda as we end the hug

"I will," she assures.

"What about us, don't we need some best wishes?" Michael asks and I turn to them.

"You too guys, I wish you the best and I hope you come back in one piece, not pieces," I say and we all laugh

"Thank you, Harmony" Clyden says and I turn to Liam on my left

"I wish you all the best," I tell him

"Thank-"

She kisses him…her lips against his…her hand on his chest…the world has just stopped moving.

I look away trying not to show how much it hurts.

She lets him go "He doesn't need it," she says.

The rest of the guardians just stare at her.

Liam awkwardly smiles at us, "okay, let's get going," he orders

"Don't forget to give me an answer to what we talked about, okay?" Bexy says to him.

"Yeah, I won't." He replies and Bexy walks away heading in the direction of where the student accommodations are.

"See you when we get back," Reseda places her hand on my shoulder and I nod. She and the guardians get on their horses and fly off. I sit down on the ground watching them go.
