Chapter 23 – A Magical Day

Merlin's House – Selena's Pov

"Umm..." I smiled awkwardly at the duck who was glaring at me. "Can I... help you?" I asked.

"You're a Magician, aren't you?" He asked.

"Yes." I nodded. "Umm... Donald-kun is it?" I asked.

"Just Donald." He said.

I nodded. "I'm Selena D. Fluorite." I said holding out a hand.

Donald crossed his arms. "How good of a Magician are you?" He asked.

I blinked.

Sora, the blue eyed boy, came up with a nervous smile. "Sorry about Donald. He thinks he's the best Magician in his world." He said.

"I am!" Donald said stubbornly. "I'm the king's court wizard." He said proudly.

Shinyuu narrowed his eyes. "I don't mind having roasted duck for dinner." He muttered.

I stomped my foot on his foot and he glared at me. I smiled. "I am the strongest Magician in my world too." I said.

"More like the only one alive from your world." Shinyuu muttered again.

I looked up at him with narrowed eyes. "Don't go there, Shinyuu. Ever." I said.

He gave me an apologetic look. "Sorry." He said.

I turned to Donald and Sora.

"What kind of Magic do you use?" Sora asked.

"Well I don't really know how to explain. I think it's best if I show you." I said. "I do know that both your magic is similar to Sayuri-chan's magic." I said. I looked around the house. "The wizard of this house uses a magic different from all of us yet somewhat similar. He's the one who taught you the spells is that correct?" I looked at Sora.

Sora blinked and nodded.

I smiled. "Do you want me to show you?"

Shinyuu narrowed his eyes at me. "What are you planning?" He asked.

I turned to him. "Why nothing of course! These two are curious, and curiosity can be a dangerous thing right? Have you ever heard of curiosity killed the cat?" I asked.

He looked away. "We're supposed to be finding it." He said.

"Yes, yes. We will look for it, but in the mean time we will have fun in this new world we're in. Perhaps help around with the construction around here." I said.

"We'd like to see your magic." Sora said.

I nodded. "Very well then." I said and waved my arm, nearly whacking Shinyuu, to get Sayuri and Sora's attention.

The two children and Goofy turned to us.

"Sora and Donald wants to see a magic show! Would you like to watch?" I asked.

"Magic show? Who's the Magician?" Sora-kun asked.

I bowed. "The show will be cast by yours truly!" I smiled.

Sayuri gasped and clapped her hands. "We'll join you!"

I smiled at Shinyuu who was gritting his teeth, resisting the urge to hurt me. "See, Shin-pan? Even the children wants to see!"

"Yeah, whatever." He muttered.

Evening

"You said you've been reading for the two weeks you were gone." Sayuri said.

I nodded.

"What were you studying?" She asked.

"Magic. Every single spell that is written in my house. My father either wrote it from memory, created new spells, or took a few books before Celes closed itself from the universe. Though I don't know how he took the books from Celes." I tapped my chin.

The door opened and Sora, our Sora, came up to us. "Selena-san! There are monsters everywhere!" He said. "Shinyuu has gone out to fight, but I don't think he can last." Sora panted.

I shrugged off my two thick coats and, with my staff in hand, I ran after Sora with Sayuri behind me.

Sora led us to the bailey and we looked out to see a mass of black creatures surrounding Shinyuu who was swing his sword almost like a madman trying to defend himself.

We rushed towards battle and I skidded into a halt.

My hand, moving as quick as the speed of sound, wrote in the air. I held up my staff and the crystal glowed. A powerful gust of wind blew at the creatures making them fly into the sky and disappear defeated.

Sora and Sayuri summoned their swords and began hacking away as we made our way towards Shinyuu.

I reached him first and I watched as he relaxed a little, his sword being swung clumsily at the creatures. "Hold on." I said and wrote in the air around us.

A barrier surrounded all four of us and the creatures lunged at us but the barrier was too powerful to break.

I kneeled next to the heavy breathing Shinyuu. "Any wounds?" I asked.

He shook his head. "These monsters can't touch me, but there are too many of them." He said.

I stood up and beckoned the children, staring at the barrier in interest, over. "I will release the barrier and summon a powerful spell. If things go well, most of these creatures will be destroyed, but a few will be left. Try not to get blown away." I said raising my hand to snap.

They crouched next to Shinyuu and I snapped the fingers.

The barrier broke and the creatures ran at us.

I wrote in the air, the words of the spell playing over and over in my head. I grunted as I held up my staff.

A wind blew around us and a giant wave of light stretched out around us cutting through the creatures.

After the spell was done I leaned on my staff panting and Sora and Sayuri ran off to defeat the remaining creatures that survived my attack.

Shinyuu stood up and placed a hand on my shoulder. "That was amazing. Nice work." He said.

I smiled at him and closed my eyes.

Shinyuu's Pov

I caught Selena's sleeping form and grunted in pain. My sword arm was sore from swinging Ginryuu so much and my sword hand was red from having it twist and rub harshly against the scaly hilt. I knew Selena took a heavier toll of her body from casting three spells quickly, They seemed advanced, well the last one certainly was, and from what I know, the higher level of magic, the more energy must be used.

"Shinyuu!"

I looked up to see the blue eyed Sora run up to us with his friends.

"Is Selena alright?" he asked. "We saw all of these spells Selena cast. They were incredible." He said.

"Selena's fine. She just needs to rest." I said hugging her tightly.

The blue eyed brat looked at Sora and then at Sayuri.

"Sora! Do you think that's what I think it is?" Goofy gasped.

"No way! A Keyblade!" He said.

I turned to Sayuri who was fighting confidently, yet not as well as Sora and I, against the creatures. "What's a keyblade?" I asked.

"You don't know what a keyblade is?" the blue eyed brat asked.

"No we've never seen anything like a weapon like Sayuri's. We figured it's just a weird looking sword." I said.

He nodded as if he understood. "I'll explain everything later then." He said.

The brats joined us and I picked up Selena.
