Magius laughed with Huma as they ate their meals, two hours before sun down. They watched the village from the hill they were on. It looked full of life, as people scurried around to get their last few chores done.
"Magius how can you do that to poor Belgardin? You are how old now and you still act like a child." Huma stated, taking a bite out of the still warm bread.
"I learned everything he taught me. Why do I need to relearn it?" He replied biting into an apple, "Besides a minor spell, such as making small explosions, doesn't hurt anyone, unless you direct the spell at them skin."
Huma shook his head, "I don't know. I concieve Belgardin is getting a little more than angry than you think."
"I think I played that trick on him more times than you know." Magius countered standing up.
Huma stood as well, when he spotted an old mage in red robes, with a young woman-maybe an apprentice- clad in red robes as well. "Magius do you know who they are?" Huma questioned, assuming Magius could fathom who the two scarlet robed magic-users were.
Magius gazed down upon the two newcomers in town, "I do believe the old mage is Belgardin's friend. But he wasn't suppose to come til the morrow. Uh oh. It seems I need to go. Belgardin wanted me with him, so he can brag about his perfect student." Magius gave one of his grins, "Bye Huma. See you later."
Huma waved goodbye to his friend, and went back to his small house in the village.
-----
Magius seemed to rush off for no apparent reason. He listened as the two old mages had their arid converstion. To him it sounded more like rambling. Belgardin's friend's name was Agymuh. He looked at the female that sat next to Agymuh. She had long brown hair, and violet eyes. She sat up straight, but her hands were on her knees and she looked down, as if abashed, or perhaps just bored as he was. He was quite certain though, if she had been in a group of mundane girls she'd stick out. He grinned for the first time, since the two mages started chattering, a glint of mischief danced in his eyes. Magius' eyes closed in concentration and he muttered words under his breath.
Magius finally opened his eyes to see his handiwork. He grinned as the young woman, that resembled close to his age, levitated above the ground. Her eyes widened for only a moment, before realizing it was Magius' doing. A smile formed on her rosy lips at Magius' frivolous attitude. She closed her eyes and lowered herself with her own magic. Magius was about to say something but realized he couldn't speak. No noise came from his lips. This made the violet eyed girl's smile widened , and Magius' crossed his arms. She waved her hand and he could feel her spell lift from him.
The two older mages were staring at them. The girl went red out of embarassment, she had forgotten about the two other mages. Belgardin grinned, and turned back to his friend, "It is late Agymuh. Perhaps we should get some rest and continue the talk on the morrow."
Agymuh agreed with a nod of his head, and his gray eyes turned to the girl and she stood up quickly and followed Agymuh out of the room.
Belgardin turned to Magius, "We have much to discuss about." The mage sounded stern, and Magius gave a sheepish grin.
------
"Hi Huma!" Magius greeted his friend.
Huma returned the greeting, "So how deep were you in trouble?" Huma queried. Magius almost always got into trouble.
Magius sighed, "Not too bad. Okay...okay...I got into a lot of trouble! Including the floating act I performed with his friend's student."
Huma shook his head, "I guess, you act like a kid so you don't feel old. What was your punishment?"
Magius shrugged, "I just sat their as he scolded me. I don't know why he scolds me though. I don't ever listen! Besides I'm too old to be scolded!"
"What did the student think of the floating act? Was she scared?" Huma asked.
Magius shrugged, "She looked surprised at first. Then she put a spell on me, so I couldn't chant or speak anymore. It seems there actually is a girl with a sense of humor." Magius replied smiling and looking into the distance all starry eyed.
Huma slapped a friendly hand against Magius' back, "It seems someone is in love."
Magius came back to reality, with that statement, and crossed his arms, "Says you! I don't think I am." He knew it sounded foolish, but was Huma right? Did he like the girl? How could he? He just met her.
