First Friend 54

Asahel saw the look of expectation and admiration in her eyes and could only nod, beside it was better this way than to explain the complicated part

"No wonder you were allowed to stay in the camp even when you haven't joined the family yet... you're simply born talented and already awakened your powers...I heard most adults already have their powers before they joined but those are rare"

"I see that's good to know"

"By the way what's your magical affinity"

"Affinity?"

"Ohhh wait I know...I know.....it's illusion right?"

Asahel looked at the girl who was once crying become so cheerful just from seeing this cursed placed 

(I wonder why I wasn't this excited when I first saw this place)

"Yes I believe it's illusion magic"

"This is gonna be great... hahahaha "

After all the jumping and laughter Ramona became extremely sleepy and laid down using Asahel's leg as pillow

"Asahel you're so amazing....I can't wait to have my power.....you know I haven't been entirely honest with you....yawn..."

Asahel stroked her head and listened, she knew Ramona wouldn't be able to hold on for long and finally fall asleep so she decided to listen to her anyway

"Yawn.... honestly speaking I planned to leave the family once I've awoken my magical power.....I do love this family and they're really caring but I need to get revenge on some people who did terrible things to I and my sister and caused her death.....the Rimley family almost never go back to where they came from so I don't know when I'll go back to my hometown that's why ...yawn..."

"I see well that's good you should take revenge and free your mind"

"You support me....thank you Asahel you're really the best friend I could ever ask for..... don't worry once I get my powers we can leave together and ohhh I'll teach you how to read and write from tomorrow....yawn..."

"I'm your friend?"

Asahel asked with a surprised expression

"Of course you are silly..hehe... I'm soooo sleepy"

"Alright go ahead and sleep I'm right here"

"Alright...you should sleep too...yawn...we have a big day tomorrow"

Asahel didn't reply because Ramona had already slept off

{Finally Master she's asleep}

Fairy didn't stay close since inside the space it was visible to everyone so he didn't show himself

Asahel continued to stroked Ramona's head 

(Fairy what did you want to discuss about?)

{Ohhh right it's about that woman called Dana, and the man that approached you that they call elder even though his quiet young, and also on our way here everyone including Dana had some sort of smell attached to them and also the stinky smell coming from the camp actually it's best describe as a bad aura, it just has a terrible smell and also two men followed us from the game place but didn't enter and also the game master was kinda weird he was giving off a similar but slightly different aura than Dana}

Asahel looked at Fairy like she was about to break him in two

{Why that look} Fairy felt wronged 

(Everything you just mentioned now how I'm I suppose to understand it)

{Ohhh well ...that's.....I don't actually know what to say}

(Alright take it step by step)

{Ok so I told you about the behaviour Dana portrayed when she was with you at the game, I think she has one of this so called magical power because she was controlling your avatar to win quicker back at the town and then the game master kept a close watch on you due to that...I was surprised by that because I thought he was a normal human but it seems like his just like Dana}

(Ohhh well that's interesting what next)

{Though I don't know if the two men came from the game stand but they were following us and stopped right outside the camp entrance}

(Ohhh...so what about the powers or auras you perceived)

{Well this is were it gets tricky...I sensed something from Dana back at the game stand and also a similar thing from that man they call elder... though I don't know why they call him elder his obviously looking younger than Dana... anyway the tricky thing is that after we got closer to others in the camp I started perceiving a bad smell}

(Bad smell.....and how's that a tricky thing?)

{At first I didn't notice much since I was more focused on the other adults but when you got in the mist of other children and began to train I realised each and everyone of them was releasing that bad smell I perceived}

(so it's sweat?) Asahel asked with a weird expression

Fairy could only sigh

{That's not it....I mean it smells bad but it's not sweat it's more....like...how do I put it... alright let's just say it's like putting on a dirty cloth after washing up}

Fairy didn't know how to describe it but he knew what he smelt and now that he realised that some of the people here were different he now knew that it had to do with auras and not actual smelly stuff but still it stinked 

Asahel didn't think he was lying but she didn't understand either since it wasn't described well

(Alright let's say that's true so why do you think it's on everyone and is it harmful and what about that pressure that hit me when Dana pulled me along to the children training ground)

{I don't know if it's harmful but I do know anything that smells bad can't be good...I can't put my finger on it but I think this has something to do with them awakening this so called magical power and about the pressure I think it has something to do with their power as well....and since it affected everyone there I believe it wasn't directed at you}

{As far as I can remember you're most likely born with a gift....well that depends on the world you came from and I've been to alot and this method of holding a ceremony or ritual to awaken your powers that I haven't seen}

(I see...this camp has some secret)

{Speaking of secrets I over heard something from one of the adults.....well i didn't want to go too far so I didn't follow}
