Magical water

Carol and Paige described to her what had happened and Cassy reassured them immediately, "I have no idea that there was a force field around me, but otherwise it's not the first time I faint.

It already happened when I was healing someone... Except that it's the first time it happened when I tried to heal nature..."

Cassy then explained to them the room she had found herself in and the stone into which she had introduced her white flame energy… without telling them that it was the Core of Carol's dimension because she didn't want to tell them about the Divine Mage System.

But Carol guessed right away that this stone was the core of her pocket dimension, and so she deduced by herself that by introducing her white flame energy inside it, she had changed, not just a portion of the ground around her as she had intended to do, but her whole pocket dimension.

Cassy then looked around and she was really surprised by what she saw.

There were fields of multicolored magic herbs as far as the eye could see, and they all had a whitish aura around them, it was really spectacular.

She was still a little stunned by what she had done so she said to them, "This is the first time my energy has spread so far, usually it stays around me.

But by directly introducing my white flame energy into this core, I guess it helped it spread throughout the whole dimension."

Cassy didn't know if she should tell Carol that her potential had increased too, she already looked blaffed right now, but anyway, Carol was already a level 8 Mage, she would figure it out by herself sooner or later.

Carol nodded after listening to her and she told her, "I think so too... But that's not the most important thing right now.

Listen Cassy, to feel better you only have to bathe in the lake, don't worry the water is not deep and it is not cold either.

This water is a bit special and it will help you to renew your energy reserve that you had to use up since you fainted. You'll see, you'll feel full of energy after only a couple of minutes.

And then young lady, you and I will have a little talk together, there are things you absolutely must know about Mages and I won't let you enroll in the Academy of Catara if you're not even aware of who you really are."

Cassy looked at her still confused, 'who she really was', had Carol found out that she was from another world?

But she didn't have time to wonder too much because she felt Paige's arm around her shoulders and she said to her after seeing the anguish her mother's words had caused to her, "Don't worry, you're not all alone now, and you've fallen into the right family, mom will be able to help you become an amazing Mage and dad will protect you."

Carol then caressed her cheek and said, also to reassure her, "Paige is right, you are not alone anymore, we will take care of you.

Paige will stay here with you while I will get you some new clothes, and I will also call another of my employees to replace me in the store.

I will stay with you tonight.

Let's get to know each other better if you don't mind, and when my husband returns, we'll explain everything to you."

Cassy just nodded, actually she really felt exhausted and when Carol left the dimension, Paige said to her, "You should really bathe in that water, you'll see you'll really feel much better after."

Cassy was also curious to see if this was true, so she didn't hesitate any longer and started to undress to go in the lake.

She was relieved to see that despite the peasant dress she was wearing and that was starting to compress her breast, she was wearing underwear underneath, well it wasn't a bra but she did have a kind of white nightie that came up to her knee and it was already better than nothing at all.

So she decided to keep her white nightie and her panties to go in the lake because she was sure that Carol would bring her other underwear, and when she entered the water and saw that the water was only up to her knee, she decided to sit down to fully enjoy this improvised bath.

And it took her only a few minutes to realize the benefits of this mysterious water.

She, who was completely exhausted just a few minutes before, felt full of energy again and then she looked at Paige who smiled at her and she told her, "Paige, it's amazing, I feel so great, this water is really magical."

Paige laughed heartily and explained to her, "The water in the pocket dimensions is always a purifying water, depending on the power of the Mage it can heal small physical wounds, replenish the reserve of energy, and it can improve the growth of magic herbs.

By using this water they mature faster and sometimes some even become high quality magic herbs."

She added in front of Cassy's astonished look, "What you did to my mother's pocket dimension is surreal, thanks to you my family will never be in need again... Not that we were in need before this, but now my mother's store will be famous in the whole continent thanks to you."

Cassy, who had just thought of something, asked her excitedly, "Do you think I'd have one too? I mean a pocket dimension, that would be so cool!"

Paige then said to her while beckoning her to come next to her, "You did turn 18, didn't you?"

Cassy nodded and sat down next to her who was sitting cross-legged by the lake and Paige then said to her, "Since you've already turned 18, if you have a pocket dimension you already have its mark on your body."
