The Magic Show

Sunrise when I was able to reach the Magical City. Still can't get off of my mind the lady who helped me last night from almost being a dinner of the hungry werewolves. I walk more inside the city looking for medicine for my wounded shoulder. While walking I couldn't resist the amusement I've been into looking all the magics that the city provides. Holographic but not a product of technology, just pure Magic. Finally, done buying medicine.

(Starving)

" Oh, it looks like the little girl needs to fill up her appetite, well, let me see how much diamond I have. (shocked) B-but? 5 Diamonds?"

(Filipino Cuisines, Eat all you can for 5 Diamonds)

"Oh no, i do have the exact money to afford it and its the cheapest around the city, if I bought a meal for me nothing will be left for future use. I need to earn first, but I am hungry" I walk around the city thinking how to have money that much. I couldn't think of a better way, I am losing hope now, "(Surprised) Is this real? Dear Gods and Goddesses of this Holy land I thank you for this precious gift I am about to recieve, a 10 instant Diamond!" I immediately walk towards it, its under a magician hat. From this far I could see some diamonds that is scattered below it. I looked around and it seems that the owner droped it. I will finally satisfy my hunger. As I was about to get it the hat disappeared.

"what? Where did it go?" I looked around. Its behind me. I again try to reach it but it just do what it did the last time. I chase it, but it teleports too fast. I am pissed, I used my scythe to hooked it up. "Yes! Finally got you, (confused) where are the Diamonds?" i kept searching the hat, "its not here!". A strong light from above focused on me, i tried to cover my eyes slightly so that I could see what infront of me. In such surprise I wasn't able to move from where I am standing, thousands of people are now looking and yelling at me,but why? I ask myself. How did I came here?

The Hat I am holding started to tremble and after so a boy sprang out to it holding a stick for crooked man. I am still confused how I was able to get in here. Then he said

" There You have it Folks, another fake entrance! Now I have with me a guest, what is your name my lady?" he ask me, pinpointing the mic on me.

"Uhm I-I am Ru-Ruby" I replied nervously. Still not on my self he asked me again.

" So what broughts you here? I guess you're hungry?" he asked.

Is he a sort of a mind reader?

"Well, I guess you are right. I am really hungry!" the only thing I said. All the audience laugh on me

" Okay my lady, your meal is on me, but before that, with Honor can you please be my Assistant for tonight? He asked.

The matter of fact ia that I have a stage fright and not that really comfortable being watched by many people, but as I looked into him, I could tell he won't harm me with his magic, and his voice is so gentle, his eyes are attractive and a hone man of respect. He's a perfect guy.

"Uhm. My lady? Are you okay? So is it abYes or No?" He ask again.

"Uh, Yes" Immediately I replied.

"Okay, but before that let me just take of your Big Scythe aside, Oh! Its kind a Heavy. So may I request you to go there infront of the Big Roulette. Thank you!" I followed his instruction. I moved infront of the Big Roulette. In a surprise the Roulette began tied me with a rope, one in my both hands, and also on my feet. The Roulette has a life. It looks like something will be thrown to me. I am nervous right now. I think the stunt he would do will bring me to a great danger. Oh god help me!

"Hey! What are these? Are these necessary? Please Let me go I don't wanna Die! Hey Boy!"

I shouted at him but he just looked at me fiercely. Trying not to be interrupted by me.

" Ladies and Gentleman I have here with me the greatest card that could cut through the hardest thing in this world, (he demonstrated it infront by cutting a big bold of rock. The rock was cut off into half) Now I will try to target this Little girl, of course not her but I will try to avoid her while the Roulette is spinning, with a twist, I will wear Blind folds" the audience are all excited and amaze how is he going to do that.

Meanwhile, I am trembling now to fear. If he goes one wrong move then I am drop dead. So much nervousness field my body now. My breathings go too fast. He now began blind folding himself. My heartbeat it doubled nope it tripled its heartbeat.

"In 3,2,... 1" He counts. I quickly closed my eyes and the Roulette started to move circular. And in Just 15 seconds it stopped. I checked myself. Slowly looking at my body. No scratch! I am still alive.

"There you have it guys! Thank you all, thank you and goodbye" after saying so we teleported somewhere else in the Magic City. I am now free from the Roulette and I took my Scythe. I looked at him and point to him my Scythe.

"You nearly kill me! What are you?" I viciously ask him.

"Hey,hey lady calm down. You're not hurt. And besides I know what I am doing. Put your weapon down. Well I haven't officially introduce myself to you my lady, (he grabbed my hand and kiss it) I am Harley, a Magician"
