The Descendant of the Moon Discovers the Descendant of the Sun… Part III
The next day Mahiru and Mitsuru sat on a rooftop. They both had their eyes closed. "So you just imagine what you want to do?" As she asked her question she impatiently squirmed in her seated position.
"No. You don't just imagine it. You will it. With everything you have." He clenched his fist and a bolt of lightning struck the ground close by. 'You will it.' Mahiru willed for something to happen, anything. Mitsuru opened one of his eyes to watch her.
She clenched her fists and started to glow. "I don't think it's working," She said with little assurance. "Don't stop." He continued and the voice of the princess echoed in her head again. "Bring back the light of the sun…" and in that moment Mahiru opened her eyes but she wasn't on the roof anymore.
She stood in the library where she had first learned of the Minister of the Left's princess, and where she had first met Nozomu and Misoka. She looked around and there were a few students studying for winter exams. 'Am I really here?' She waved a hand in front of one of the students and found that she had no ability to affect the world. 'It's just a dream?'
Then she dissipated as a young man walked through her and sat at a desk. When she reformed in her astral state, she approached the young man. It was Youta from Moonshine. He was reading the same book she had read. 'Is he studying the Minister of the Left? Or the princess?' He looked up towards the doors. Mahiru followed his gaze. Keiko entered the library.
'Himura?' Keiko walked past Mahiru and sat beside Youta. But then she looked back at where Mahiru stood. "Mahiru?" Could her psychic powers be allowing her to see Mahiru? Then Mahiru heard her name again. "Mahiru?" This time the voice came from Mitsuru. "Damnit Mahiru!"
Mahiru blinked a few times and suddenly she was back on the rooftop with her tengu friend. "Mitsuru, it worked!… I don't know what happened or what it means, but I controlled my powers!" Mitsuru looked at her concerned.
"What happened? You were glowing and you almost completely disappeared. I thought you were fading out of existence." She looked at her hands. They were solid. She was definitely here, existing.
"I went to the library." Mitsuru raised a brow. "You willed yourself to the library?" He placed a hand on his forehead and she looked at him nervously. "You are such a loser." He laughed a little to himself and she smiled.
