Camila hoped everything would go smoothly. It was her first date since 1992, and it's in the Demon Realm to top it off. She grabbed the orb and thought about Alexander's throne room. When she opened her eyes, she was in front of the Throne.
"I'm glad you could make it."
Camila turned around and saw Alexander. He wore a white and gold suit without any face covering.
"That's what you look like?" Camila asked.
"Is... is it bad?" He asked.
Camila looked at his face, he had light tanned skin, gold eyes, medium brown hair and a small beard. She walked up to him and looked him in the eyes.
"You look incredible."
"I'm glad you find my looks appealing. Very few know what I truly look like." He said.
He made a spell circle and Camila felt something off about her ears. She looked at a mirror nearby and saw her ears were now pointed.
"Apologies, but I couldn't allow the denizens of the Isles to know a human is on the Isles."
"So, what did you do?"
"Just a simple Illusion spell. Now, let's go. I have an incredible night planned."
Camila stepped into his carriage and they took off. She had to say, the view was amazing.
"This place is truly amazing." She said.
"The Boiling Isles. Created from the decaying corpse of a fallen titan. All magic evolved from it and I learned to communicate with the Titan. I am the one that invokes and carries out the Titan's will." He said.
"Tell me more."
"Very well, I rose to power long ago, finally ending the Savage Ages and putting witches on the right path. I put order to the Isles and now witches can use magic the real way it was meant for."
They talked all the way to their destination.
"Wow, this place looks fancy." Camila said.
"I only go for the best. We won't be interrupted, I bought out the restaurant."
"Well, I can say that no date has ever done that for me before."
They were seated on the top floor, next to a window with a great view of the Titan's skull.
"So, Camila, why don't you tell me about me about yourself?"
"Okay, well, I work as an intern and occasionally a nurse at a hospital. It's the human of your... Healers? Did I say that right?"
Alexander let out a laugh.
"You said it perfectly."
"Okay, good. Anyways, I live in Northern California, that's-"
"Oh, don't worry. We have a few human books that we confiscated from the Black Market. I've read over a few of them so, I have a decent knowledge of the North American continent. California is on the western part of the United States, am I correct?"
"Uh, yes. Anyway, I live there, near my parents and my recently married brother. My parents live about twenty minutes from my apartment and my brother lives on the other side of the town. My brother is very protective of me, he doesn't like my place of living. Says it's, 'Too Dangerous'."
"He sounds like a good man." Alexander said, his tone somber.
"He is, a little annoying, but... he's my twin, we've been together since birth. There isn't anyone I'd rather have as a brother. What about you? Do you have any family?"
Alexander looked out the window, completely stone faced. Camila reached over and grabbed his hand.
"If it's uncomfortable for you, you don't need to tell me."
He sent her a small smile.
"Thank you, it is a hard to talk about what happened. It's nice to know that someone would be there should I need help."
Camila sent him a warm smile. She's only worked at the hospital for a few short years, but she's seen almost a hundred people that have family problems.
"I'm here if you want to talk." Camila said.
"Thank you."
Camila had to say, this has been one of her better dates. She hopes her future children have better luck than her.
"This has been a pretty good date so far. I'm enjoying this." Camila said.
"I'm glad. If I'm going to be honest, this is the first date I've been on." Alexander said.
"Well, you're already three steps ahead of my last date. That was my 'best' date and I ended up in a meat locker for hours." Camila and Alexander laughed, "Can't wait to see what we do on our second date."
"S-second date? You... you want to do this again?"
"I would love to. I like it here... and... I really like you."
"I-I-I... I like you as well. So, how about we do this again? Say... in three weeks?"
"I would love to, Alex."
There will be very few story updates this week. I am starting Finals Week so I need to focus on that more than writing, but next week is the start of my Winter Break so I will be able to upload more during then. Follow, Favorite, and Review for more.
