Chapter 2
Awakening
By the time the I couldn't hear the high-schoolers anymore I was thinking really hard there would have to be a time lapse or something equally weird so I didn't disappear on earth and make my parents freak. But I thought hey the gods'll do something. Then my thoughts turned to where I was of course Numair's workroom (a/n it's been done b4 but what the hey) at least I thought it was, because the man standing ½ feet above my five foot 3 inches with dark, long hair, weird nose thoughtful eyes yup must be Numair. A plus to the situation was that there were a lot of books "hey wassup Numair?" he looked at me like I was nuts (which I'm not saying I'm not nuts there are people who'll tell you I am.) "Hey got any good fiction books any about the United States?" I asked because backwards logic would state that if Tortall is fiction to us maybe we are fictional to them. "Why yes, yes I do, but first we have to see the King" Numair interrupted my thoughts
"Jonathan right?"
"Yes"
"but we can come back and read right Numair?"
"Depends on how you know my name and what the king decides."
"Okay. But my presence is a good learning opportunity for you…." (think mock sorrow when bribing)
"how did you know what to bribe me with"
"You'll find out along with everyone else, and get those books on the U.S. and any other books written by that author I would rather like to see how much you got wrong."
We made our way along a bunch of passages that I knew I was going to get lost in.
"We couldn't go by magic could we?"
"We could but-"
all of a sudden we were in front of a door marked with king Jon's name. "How did you do that?" Numair sputtered.
"If you must know I have no idea."(Cheerfully) "there was no magic where I'm originally from."
"really..-"
He was cut off by the door opening by an extremely handsome man with tints of blue light coming slightly off of him come to think of it I saw the same thing in the color of black coming off of Numair.
"Uh. You're majesty. I think I just developed magic."
"Really, you had none before." Numair interjected.
"Nope." I thought quickly "at least not back in the U.S."
"okay come on in Numair you to call Alanna as well and Daine."
"YAY I get to meet the Lioness"
*everyone looks at me like I'm nuts*
"sorry bout' that"
Numair did a speaking spell since they were both together they came down quickly. When they all assembled (Queen Thayet was already there) I started explaining. "Okay back where I'm from, the U.S. there have been books written about tortall, but they are all fiction. Which reminds me are we in the immortals war or after it or before it?"
"After" Daine told me although I had kind of already guessed as close as Daine and Numair were sitting, (any closer and they would have been sharing a seat.) "Okay Daine, Numair I wanna' talk with you privately later kay!" "okay" they said together uneasily. "well back to my story. Knowing what time period I'm in helps me a lot. Although not that much since I haven't read protector of the small… any way Daine or Numair ask me something about what happened where you were at the end of the war. "Umm okay, what immortals did Numair rescue me from before we found the dragons" Daine gave
"You couldn't give me something hard could you? Easy Spidrens"
"Mythros how did you know that?"
"Like I told you I am from another world where you are all fiction, lucky for you I happen to like fiction" I glanced at Numair and Jon "especially fiction that looks like this. I don't know exactly how this happened though let's see weird voice swirling colors I'm guessing the gods I know the swirling colors resembled chaos colors but they were black and white…….Numair you were practicing magic weren't you?"
"Yes yes I was but how did you know that well I know your magic is black with white edges and the King's is blue Diane's is copper and Alanna's is purple, same as her eyes. But what exactly were you trying to do?" I asked " but first Daine Numair let's go to Numair's workroom and have that chat everyone else I will be answering questions and signing autographs later when I get my hands on some breeches and clothes that don't make me look so conspicuous and Numair and I work with my magic and learn how to control it a little." I looked at Numair else I might blow something up or something I have a very short temper."
1.1 In Numair's work room
"Okay Numair, Daine please sit down my rantings and ravings may last a little while. First off Daine have you given him an answer yet I don't think I need to tell you which question?"
"No,"
"Good he knows that he loves you, you know you love him. Why can't you see that if the other hasn't woken up for an older or younger person it's not going to happen. Why can't you see that Numair she loves you only you. Daine same thing, Just SAY YES. Numair ask again I can see the ring is magicked and that you have it."
"Daine would you marry me?"
" Yes when I have been brought to my senses by a total stranger, how could I not have seen it"
"Okay you two I'm gonna' leave you to the kissing and stuff that goes along with this love fest kay?"
"Uh huh" both answered transfixed with each other
"I'll go to the King and get my rooms."
No answer
"Okay I'll be leaving now."
The king gave me some wicked rooms with a balcony and a common room and everything. Then I met Onua and she took me to the seamstress (her name was in wild magic but it currently escapes me) I was fitted for new clothes and she was making a new kind of breeches just for me (I was not going to wear any pants like that without flares, I also got myself some men's shirts because they looked comfortable and some dresses since I was going to be one of Tortall's treasures just like Daine and the Lioness and Numair. 'This rocks' I thought to myself. I went back to Numair's workroom to find the door open and Numair looking through his books with a fairly large selection on a cart connected to him by a thread of black magic.
"Hey that oughta last me at least four day's they're really big books. But I want to be tested for my gift I want to know if it's Wild with a mix of the gift just the gift or something you've never seen before."
"Well have you tried to light a candle yet?"
"No."
"Well let's try that" suddenly a candle appeared
"You know what I realized earlier though I can see magic."
"Okay well just focus your power and imagine really hard this candle lighting"
"Okay but If I could transport us to the king I should be able to do this."
I tried and did it with no problem.
"Okay well come here real quick,"
He placed two fingers on each of my temples and I felt magic pulsing through me exploring a ball of bright half red half bronze light which I figured was my gift.
"Wow, you have a really powerful gift it's a big mixture of wild magic almost as big as Daine's and The Gift that is almost as powerful as the Lioness's"
"So basically I could give the lioness a run for her money if we fought?"
"Although it probably will never happen yes"
"Cool!"
"It's not cold in here."
"No, back on earth Cool means two things one it's cold, and two neat good."
"Oh well I can see I'm gonna learn a lot with you around"
"You bet Numy"
"DON'T call me Numy"
"Okay Numy!"
"ERRR"
"Just kidding Nummair"
I started to giggle.
"Well how about your first lesson on earth"
"Okay well this is where I'm from….."
