The moment I opened the door to my house, three squealing girls attacked me with questions.

I almost backed away and slammed the door shut again.

"Please calm down. I had a very long day and I haven't eaten since morning so please, let relax a bit okay?" Unfortunately, that didn't calm them down a bit. They were staring at me creepily the entire time while I was trying to enjoy my food.

After I finished my food and washed my plate, we all sat down on my couch. And that was when the questions began.

"First of all, how did it go? Did your look help?"

"It did, actually. People were looking at me weirdly while I was walking through Magnolia, I think it was because I was bare-footed and because of my poker face. When I was staring at the guild, some people tried to approach me but the moment they saw my expression, they turned around with a frown. Probably because they thought I would do something if they got too close."

"Did ya see anthin' interestin'? Rumors? Anyone we know?"

"The guild hasn't changed one bit. It's still loud and full of laughter. There were some rumors about Madthorns and Woodrow and how it all happened and the pillar of light. I should stop using spells that are too flashy until I'm twelve. And I actually met Macao. He's hot, but definitely not my type. He even offered me his help, but I had to turn him down, too. I still feel a bit guilty for not talking to him."

"Did you meet Makarov? And did you make a show before staring at the guild?"

"Sadly, I didn't see Makarov. But I did teleport in front of the guild, although it didn't make a scene, which I'm grateful for. But I'm pretty sure that the master sensed me."

And the questions went on and on. I was starting to get really tired and uncomfortable. This ressembled an interview and I'm...pretty bad with interviews. After another five minutes of questions I cut off my friends.

"Look, I know you all want to know what happened and the details, but I haven't trained or meditated today, well maybe a bit in front of the guild but it was only about 30 minutes. So please, let me at least train a bit." They all looked down, guilty (I felt bad for that...a bit) and nodded.

I walked out of the house and to the small pond. I wanted to get to the other side without swimming across the small river, so I concentrated really hard. This was one of the really small spells that were in the basics of the book about my magic.

If I focus enough energy and if I know what I'm doing, I should be able to create structures or some small things. I gathered all of the magic power needed for this spell in my hand, then transfered it above the river and released it. I could see a soft white light above the river where I wanted the bridge to be. It grew larger and larger and finally disappeared to reveal a bridge...or something like that. It looked like a normal white bridge made of white planks or whatever it is made of...or I at least hoped it resembled a bridge.

About half way I stopped and jumped on it to test it if it was strong enough.

Nothing. Well, it certainly won't break under me.

I made my way to the end of the clearing. It was already dark, so I focused once more and created a small light so I could read my book about my magic. I knew I should focus on training my Light's Pistol, but it was my only minor offensive spell. I am not counting the Star's Pillar! I'm not using it again until I'm old enough!

After a small while of reading, I came across another minor spell. It was supposed to make a shield, more accurately a force shield that shouldn't crack, depends on your strenght and the strenght of the spell.

...And to my surprise, it wasn't even complicated! Or the casting wasn't.

I stood up and dismissed the small light, so it was dark again. I closed my eyes, relaxed, and started to gather my magic once more. This time, I focused on the ground around me.

Then I mumbled:

"Angel's Pearl" A white magic circle appeared from under me and spread about 2 meters away from where I stood. I could feel my magic draining but I still watched in awe as a white shell formed around me. It was a pearly white, which probably gave it its title. Unfortunately for me, it was quite draining. And the negative of this spell is that its a Body Link, so everything that is done to the shield is pretty much done to me.

Or I understood it that way.

I dismissed it after I was getting really tired and walked away. As I was making my way back to the bridge, I heard a sound of steps coming from the trees. I turned around, cautiously, only to find that the sound of steps was a strange white, opal like jewel falling down a hill. As I bent over to pick it up, it glowed slightly. As my hand inched closer and closer, the glow intensified. Just mere milimeters away, I stopped and puled my hand back a bit.

The glowing dimmed a bit. I closed the distance again. The glow brightened. And the same thing happened again. I finally moved to take it. At this point, the glow was really bright, so bright that I almost shut my eyes completely. However, when I took it, the glow stopped completely.

I could finally examine it properly. It was as big as my child hand and its shape was shifting between round oval. It was white and it looked like there was a silvery liquid just beneath. When I was turning it in my hands, in one angle it looked like the space.

But it was only there for a few seconds, then it disappeared. At this point, I could feel the stone puslating.

Suddenly, it levitated, started glowing again until it looked like a ball of light and flew in me.

And by that I really meant that it literally flew into me. In my chest.

I was stunned and didn't move a muscle. What the hell just happened?

There weren't any changes but still...

Before I could think too deeply about it, I fell asleep on the spot.

Just like that. Great.

The next morning I woke up to the sun shining mercilessly on me. I got up from the ground where I fell asleep and started walking toward my house. I tip-toed to my library, careful to not wake Angee up and I tried to open and close the door as quietly as possible (Which actually was impossible, but I gave myself a ten out of ten for the effort).

Because it still quite early (around six o'clock) I meditated for a while, then read a bit more about Fiore and its history. When I finished, I noticed it was almost 10 o'clock. The others are probably already training. I ate my breakfast quickly and then started to choose what girly outfit I will wear today.

I finally decided that I will wear only white plain dresses from now on, so I went with white. I let my hair loose on my back and with that, I walked once more towards Magnolia.

This time however, I wanted to try to teleport to the guild hall directly. Not only it will serve me as training, but my magic power will increase, so maybe I will finally pick the interest of a certain guild master. Anna brought it up yesterday when I was talking about my day. We all agreed that I could give it a shot (exept for me, because I'm not very confident in my magic skills).

When I reached the town, I hid behind a house and focused. This time, when I appeared, I could feel that quite a lot of my magic is missing, but I wasn't that tired. The distance was smaller than the one I made to teleport to the guild hall of Madthorns, but still.

But something didn't feel right. I couldn't put my finger on it immediately, but then it clicked.

The guild, which I could hear just fine a second ago, was quiet. Like, no sound escaped it at all.

I guess the plan worked. I calmed myself and started staring at the guild again. The minutes passed, but the guild was still quiet.

While remaining in my motionless position, I tried to sense the magic from within the guild.

And I was successful. Maybe.

My point is, the magic of all the people in the guild was tense and readied. Did Makarov really sense my magic this quick? I mean, we did alert them a little with Anna, Madthorns and me staring at the guild...

After another long while of tension, someone finally walked out of the doors. I was still staring at the guild, pretending not to notice. The person stoped almost right in front of me.

"Hello, what can I do for you?" When I heard it, my facade almost broke down. That voice...

I waited so long to hear Makarov's gentle voice for real.

And that moment finally came.
