Valerie and Aud

As Sophie intended, she went to the place where she saw the old lady. She circled her gaze to see no old lady around. Seeing the bench where she was once sitting next to Myrtle, she came up to it to sat down and close her eyes.

"Maybe i could track her," Her face brightened as she remembered the magic spell that had taught to them about finding the person or thing they were looking for. "Oh yes I'm so silly, why didn't I think of that like earlier?" She did an incantation, but nothing happens.

Sophie repeated the process several times, but no one came. "Why didn't I listen?" Sophie's discouraged that she couldn't cast a spell well because she didn't listen well at the class. She remembered the books she had borrowed, so while still waiting for the old lady to show up, She tried to look at the book thinking that casting the spell was written in it.

She was quietly reading the book as she heard rumors and various magic spells. The atmosphere changed, It looks like wizards are playing again and Witches buzzing in the air. The events were so familiar that in less than a second, she looked around and saw the old lady.

"Finally! I've been looking for you." Sophie said excitedly. "I know."

"You knew, did you see me before? Why don't you come to me right away." But even if the old lady saw her earlier, why couldn't she find her using magic.

"I'm looking forward to the right opportunity." They both face the group of children. "It seems familiar, doesn't it?"

"This is how it looks like before we meet yesterday." Sophie smile and remember why she was looking for the elder. "Lady, you said you helped the girl to give birth." The old lady just look at her so she continues.

"But it isn't stated in the book that the girl had a baby. I mean, she didn't get pregnant."

"Sometimes, people can cover the truth for their own sake." The old lady glared at her so, she listened to it carefully and memorized every word she said. "You mean everything in the book, about the former king, is a lie?" Sophie's forehead twitched as she grasped the thought.

"Not all" The old lady paused.

"I don't know if you're telling a truth but why are you telling me this information?"

"Just like what I said, you're the one who's going to save all dimensions, so you must know the truth. "

"Why don't you just tell it to everyone?"

Sophie had encircled by a blue smoke before the old lady answered her. She wanted to move, but she couldn't until she had lost sight of the old lady. She could only see blue. "Mica, what happened?" She asked the old lady, expecting that she was still in front of her.

Before she has cried, she screamed as the area shone brightly. She was in the same position as she was, but the old lady was gone. She looked around and saw children playing, but it seemed strange. She scans the whole area and noticed that the place was different, from the trees she had just seen, some houses that had disappeared, and the children were unfamiliar that they were not the children she had known.

"What's going on?" She whispered to herself. She also noticed that there was a cloud of smoke all around, and then she remembered the blue smoke that had covered the surrounding.

She just stayed in her place because she was afraid that if she left the place, the old lady might not be able to bring her back. She was frightened with the thought that the old lady was an Enchanter and put her in some odd kind of magic

"I should have listened to Ria." While trying to figure out how to escape, a strange girl, with a hood, sat down beside her. She's eager to know who's the person beside her. She tried to look to the person's face without letting it notice her, but the person was facing down.

"Excuse me, that's my spot." Sophie frantically stopped staring at the person and about to stand.

"Who are you?" the woman answered as she looked up. Shy Sophie, can't the two see her?

"Sorry miss, but I don't make conversation with strangers."

The woman stands and held out her hand. "I'm Valerie." The man laughed softly and then sat to the right side of the bench. Sophie's humiliation is even greater now that she is sitting between the two-person, having a strange feeling of harmless electrocution.

What did they call it? A spark?

"I like it here, can I stay here?" The woman said, "Ahm excuse me? I'm here too", Sophie whispered in her mind. "All right, do whatever you want, I rarely go here." the man said.

"Oh, I thought you can help me."

"Help? For what?"

"I want to travel around the area, I want to gain a lot of new knowledge."

The man nodded before speaking. "You're not from here?" She seems restless in her words, and so does Sophie who is frustrated because she can't leave her seat, and she can't be seen as an invisible air, she's under magic.

"I think these are just illusions," Sophie whispered to herself. "I mean, what the hell, I was forbidden to travel around and socialize. Now, I ran away from my home, I want to do things that I longed to." Sophie nodded as she was talking to her.

"Runaway? Really?" Sophie looked at the man who was staring at her. He looks like a nobleman, something like a prince. "I'm leaving." The girl stood up and walked away, leaving Sophie with the man next to her.

They just sit while enjoying the view, obviously resting. They seem to be in the same mood as sitting in that chair. "It feels good, it's relaxing," Sophie said even though she knew he wasn't able to hear her.
