After the war

by Cayla Prior

After the war, Marina has been getting these strange dreams. People who left her life before, such as Eight, Adelina, Hector and more have been appearing in her dreams and telling her to do things. Marina is afaird that someone is messing with her mind but John thinks that this might be a new Legacy. These dreams bring them all around the world.

1. After the war

"John! Wake Up! Wake Up!"

I slowly open my eyes. I find Marina at the side of my bed shaking me really hard.

"Go to sleep Marina. It's only-" I look at my alarm clock, "4 o'clock in the morning."

"Please John, please. We need to go to Spain!"

"Spain? Why do we need to go to spain?"

"Adelina came to me in my dream." Marina has been having a lot of these dreams lately. It's usually Eight in her dreams. Last time he told us to go somewhere, we walked around India for 4 hours.

"Do we have to go to Spain, Marina?"

"Yes!"

"Today?"

"Yes, please."

"Fine."

"Yay! Now get up while I make breakfast." Marina walks out my room towards the kitchen.

Marina and I have been living in Milan, Italy for around one month. It's been two months since I found her on that island. We spent a month living in the Himalayes, but we realized we couldn't stay there forever. So, we decided to move to Milan. We're staying in the protected area made for the Lorien stone in Milan. I got the teleportation legacy with my Ximic. So we can travel all around the world if we wanted to.

Marina is going to be a Spanish teacher in one of the schools here after Summer holiday. I haven't found anything to do yet. Marina says that school needs a new sports coach, I could do that, but I'd like to wait for other options.

"Hurry up John!"

"Coming!"

I clean myself up and head to the kitchen. We live a small house. Living room, kitchen, dining room, two bathrooms and two bedrooms. I gave Marina the big bedroom since I don't really have anything to put in such a big room. But Marina has done really well decorating that room, actually the whole house (besides my room). All of us Loric have been treated like royalty after we saved the whole world. So we can have anything we want. Marina dragged me to go furniture shopping. It took a really long time, but she out done herself.

Marina has already finished making breakfast when I'm there. She's a great cook. She always making new things. But luckily today it's just scrambled eggs and toast.

"So why are we going to Spain again?" I ask.

"Adelina told we to go visit Santa Teresa."

"But you hate that places. You told me you never ever want to go back there"

"Adeline says the Spainish people are going to destroy it." Marina sighs.

"They haven't destroyed it yet?"

"No. That's why I need to go there to save whatever I can save."

"What is there to save? The Mogs problely took everything."

"I just want to go there ONE LAST TIME John, please." Marina's eyes start to get watery. Soon, tears start to come down.

"Marina." I sit next to her and let her put her head on my shoulder. "It's okay. We'll go to Spain." I wipe away the tears on her cheeks.

"Thank you, John. You're the best."
