I am ALIVE! Yosh! Terribly sorry for the wait had so many going ons. Some good some bad. But I shan't bore you with details. This Idea occured to me on my time away. Hope you enjoy it.
Story!
"I close my eyes, I'll think of home." I said unsure, this was silly! There was no way in this world that I could teleport!
Pure Poppycock, magic bah!
Sighing, never mind this, this foolishness. I snapped the book shut a little harshly. The pulling sensation gave a sharp tug and vanished, I need rest, yes some rest will help.
Suddenly thinking to Doctor Jin's previous words... why would he care? The Harmonica inhabitants surely aren't this... welcoming, hospitable, or caring towards someone who showed up out of no where? There must be some sort of motive, no?
People are so confusing. My eyes felt somewhat heavy and soon an unknown exhaustion took over me. I fell asleep once again... oblivious to the world and its happenings around me.
*Wizards POV*
There it is again! That magical signature- it seems weaker this time though. Like a slowed heartbeat. It'll be soon- my eyes found themselves back to the paragraph I was reading.
Thump... thump-thump-thump!
"Curses..." I muttered, reluctantly pulling my eyes away from the book I currently was reading... again.
Before I could answer a certain blue fiery bandana wearing blur rushed forth.
"Heya Wizard,IWasWondering... IfYouCouldTellAFortuneForMe!" Keep calm, no matter how irritating they could be.
Of course that's all the towns people came by for, a mere fortune telling, to peer into the heart of someone they fancied. It wasn't anything new.
"Very well... who is it... you wish for me to-" I've said those words over and over. Already expecting him to say Molly or occassionally some other girls name, he caught me off gaurd by saying a new unfamiliar name.
" Her names Devi!" he exclaimed rather over eagerly. Devi? Who was this Devi? Probably some passerby, perhaps a merchant or tourist? We'll see soon enough.
"Of course," I said leading him to the all too familiar circle table with my crystal ball in its center.
"Have a seat... Luke?" for Luke it seemed like a miracle to have him sit down and be still. Yet there he was as still as a statue. This must be important, I suppose.
Placing my hands over the gleaming orb, a quick silent chant and the room darkened. Luke staying perfectly still and silent also. At first I was quite confused with what I was shown, the strange blued hue mist from a few days ago swirled violently about in the clear sphere. Clashing against the clear walls it was encased within.
Slowly it settled into a picture of a girl. My breath caught up in my throat, two stormy clouds seemed to somewhat glare at me as if they knew I was looking into they're owners heart. Her pink lips sealed into a tight line refusing to utter a word. Jet black curls tumbled around her frame trying to hide her. Her skin seemed aglow- no blemishes to be seen.
I pushed further into her form, like all other readings it was easy to push into they're heart like hot knife threw butter, yet this girl! It was like a wall was there, frowning I pushed harder, only getting glimpse of few things.
Books, piles and piles of books. A little farther were what seemed to be candies, cakes and many other sweet types of food.
The blue mist swirled violently around the image I had seen, obscuring any other image. Slowly consuming it until only the mist was there still swirling angrily. Odd.
Letting out a breathe I wasn't aware I held I looked up to Luke who only squirmed in his seat. Waiting.
"Well, what'd ya see Wiz?" he practicly shouted. Frowning at the nickname I seemed to be given.
"Devi... likes books-" he seemed to have made a sour face,
"And seems to adore edible sweets," again frowning at the mention of food. Everyone knew he couldnt really cook that well. Yet he looked thoughtful.
"Thanks Wiz I'll see ya 'round," he said grinning probably thinking of a plan to get this Devi to like him... Devi... Goddess. My mind playing back to her figure in the crystal ball she seemed defiant yet vulnerable like a little girl...Hmm little... goddess... Devi, she doesnt seem like a Devi... Something's missing.
*Devika's POV*
"A-a- Achoo," I awoke with an itchy feeling on my nose, remembering what Mother use to say,
"Blah blah blah, when you sneeze someone is either thinking or talking about you... blah blah blah and always say 'Bless me' if no one says so for you." I rubbed my nose a little,
Being there was a new 'resident' of course it'd be all the talk. Hmm, maybe it won't be so bad here, seeing how my small home back at Sapling's Vale is halfway around the world!
There's no way I could possibly get back without some the use of some costly fortune which one I never had in the first place, I thought feeling depressed.
I'm pretty much penniless. Huffing out a sigh my hands burried themselves in my pockets my left coming across a small wad of paper?
Paper? Too busy with my pockets I never noticed the tome faintly glow that familiar blue.
I ripped the foreign object out of my pocket, it was a note? I unfolded it and had two slips of paper fall into my lap. When did this get there?
Ignoring the slips of paper I scanned the note.
Dear Devi,
I hope this gets to you safely, Use it wisely.
There wasnt a signature, or anything. just those two small sentences.
I looked down The small slips still in my lap face down. I cautiously picked one up and turned it over my eyes widened I felt my eyebrows reach the top of my forehead, it was a vouchure!
For five thousand gold! That wasn't all, the signature made my stomach lurch.
L.Q.
T-that was just coincedence... surely the letter was too. It frightened me, what was going on. I wanted to cry out my frustrations. L.Q.!
Lupe Qwilks... Father!
How? Was he alive? Where is he? If he is why didn't he come home? I was tired of disappointing confusion. I picked up the other slip, it was the same amount!
My god, I couldn't believe it. I had something to get started here. I thought, it's almost like he wants me to stay here. Why? What is going on?
"Hello Miss Devi," Doctor Jin's smoth voice interrupted my thoughts. Always coming at a bad time. I folded up the paper and the two slips, tucking them away in my pant pocket.
"Greetings Doctor," always the formal one. I glanced towards him he was accompanied by Luke. Yes, I remember the hyper blue haired lumber man. He held something that caught my eyes. Food!
Not just any food it was a plate of cookies! As if on cue my stomach grumbled. Making me flush in embarrassment. Doctor Jin just chuckled.
"Good news Miss Devi, your good to go" I smiled yes! No medications of any sorts! I dislike medicines too bitter or sour blech. I stood up.
"But-" He continued, my small smile faltered slightly, nooo.
"You'll be given some medicine to help bring your strength back, I dont want you over exerting yourself," he smiled warmly a hint of smile in his eyes.
Though at the moment I wanted to cry, why must I take medicine? He handed over a blue bottle which rattled as the pills moved inside.
"Thank you Doctor Jin-"
"You can call me Jin Miss Devi," he interrupted. I wished I could say my real name Devi just wasn't the same as Devika. However I just lightly smiled and shook my head.
"Thank you Jin." We both stared a moment, Luke falsely coughed getting our attention.
"Heya Devi if you want I could show ya round town." I had almost forgotten about Luke, he seemed shy all the sudden while holding out the plate of cookies.
"I er- made you some cookies as a get well present," he got silent as I took the plate a bit hastily.
Popping a cookie into my mouth Jin held back a snicker makin it a cough. I stopped chewing. Luke had gone rigid with my pause. It wasn't bad no, I loved sweets and I could tell Luke tried so hard to make them.
He also started sweating profusely. I smiled as I continued chewing, both men waiting for me to say something.
The cookie was, though kind of hard to chew and it was super sweet- I didn't mind the sweet part though. When I swallowed Luke was fidgeting.
"Ya don' have ta eat 'em I know I'm-"
"Thank you... Luke it was perfect," I interrupted him softly grabbing another one and chomped down onto it. Jin's face was priceless. Luke looked taken aback but quickly grinned wolfishly,
"Yer welcome Devi, I'm glad ya like the cookies!" he looked like he won the lottery or something 'cause he was really happy. My cheeks hurt just looking at him.
"And... I'd love a tour... of the town," I answered him for earlier. Jin cleared his throat. Getting my attention quickly.
"Miss Devi, please take two pills daily with a meal, I do hope you like our peaceful little town and stay awhile. I must see my other patients good bye." he smiled then went off threw the door. Leaving me and Luke. I had just finished off the last cookie.
It felt strange, talking with people I mean. Luke was by far the most energetic person ever, and Doctor Jin was reserved and calm.
No telling what the other residents were like. What if they didnt like me?
Mentally frowning I turned to the bed. Quickly snatching up the giant book that mocked me with its contents.
"Ready... when you are." I stated, as he grabbed my arm and dragged me out the hospital.
"Great, we can go visit Molly first she got here a year before you- you wouldn believe it but thanks to her our town has really prospered after she arrived-" goodness I couldn't catch up with his words.
As we made our way through town, I saw something running our way. My eyes widened recognizing what it was.
Before we got run over I grabbed Luke by the shoulders and pulled him to side just as the beast whooshed past. It came to an abrupt stop, an... Ostrich? Atop its back was a girl?
She looked to be my age, she had short brown curled in hair. From what she wore it was easy to see she had been working outside perhaps a farmer?
"Hey Luke- Oh hello,are you the new residnt everyones been talking about?" she got excited to see a new face. Was it that bad here? Seeing new face to cause such a spectacleto them?
She seeme to notice my silence and quickly looked me over.
"Your the first newer resident aside from me, and I moved here last year." She continued. It all made sense, I was something new everyone loves new things. Eventually they'd tire of me.
"Hey Molly there's something different about this one." does my eyes deceive me! A- A- A Fairy?
aaaan that's a rap. Mwahahaha I decided to add challenge with most the guys hope ya'll dont mind. Aww were Jin and Luke playing tug o war? Where the money vouchures come from?
