Disclaimer: I do not own Harvest Moon

Hikari's P.O.V

As I got closer to the wizard's house I calmed down a little and slowed my pace. After a little while I finally reached the stairs leading to his place. I began to walk up the steps, but on the last step I 'gracefully' tripped and rolled right into the wizard's door, creating a loud bang.

"Ouch.." 'That really hurt' I thought to myself. Before I continued my train of thought I heard a door open.

"Are…you okay?"

I looked in the direction of the sound to see the face of the unfamiliar voice. Standing there was a man with tan skin in a long purple cloak and silvery hair that was cut short except for one shoulder length braid on the left side of his head. His hair shinned in the moonlight but that wasn't what had captured my attention, what had me really intrigued was his eyes. They were comforting yet distant at the same time, unlike Chase's. His eyes were just so beautiful and mesmerizing, I couldn't stop staring into them, they just had such a beautiful shade of green…wait no, only one eye was green, the other was a striking yet soft yellow.' Wow, so this is what the wizard looks like', I thought to myself.

"Umm..Miss….are you okay?"

Blushing, I Snapping out of my daze and jumped up to my feet, but I stumbled as soon as I was up. The wizard quickly grabbed my upper arm and looked at me with the most concerned look. He then looked down.

"..You're bleeding"

"What!"

I looked down to see where and saw blood seeping through the left side of my shirt, and only then did the pain hit me.

"How did I get this?" I thought aloud to myself. I looked around and finally I spotted a broken bottle. How did I not see that before? How come I didn't feel the pain right away?

"I'll treat…your wounds." The Wizard said, interrupting my thought full of questions. I have to admit he had a weird way of speaking but oddly enough it was quite calming. I followed him, as he still held my arm, into his house. The place was somewhat messy, not with garbage but with misplaced books and other items, but it did have a nice smell of herbs and coffee and even though it was somewhat cluttered with misplaced things it was still a nice and comfortable place. The wizard then let go of my arm and told me to go lie down in his bed and wait there. I nodded and went to lie down as he went in the opposite direction.

Wizard's P.O.V

I instructed the girl to go rest in my bed so she wouldn't pass out. I watched her as she went to make sure she was walking okay and then went towards my cabinet. I looked through a couple of books until I came upon one titled magical remedies.

I grabbed the book, dusted it off and searched for a spell to help heal large cuts. 'Finally' I thought to myself as I looked at the ingredients needed 'rosemary, cinnamon incense, one green candle and some molasses.' I looked through my cabinet for all these items.

Thankfully I had all of them. As I was creating the concoction I couldn't help but think of the girl. 'What was she even doing at this hour coming to see me? And why did she seem so relax near me, a stranger?' That girl was defiantly a funny one. I had stopped stirring the contents and began to recite the spell.

"Oh goddess of flesh and bark
of blood and water
Lend me your grace
I ask for at the altar
Of my home, this very place"

After those said words, a greenish blue hue appeared for a second but soon after faltered. It was
ready.

"Finn, don't be so dramatic, I'm going to be fine, it's just a cut, nothing to cry about."

I heard the girl as she talked to her sprite companion. Though the sprite seemed to have been convinced by what the girl had said, I wasn't. I could tell in her voice that she was in a lot more pain then she let on. 'Poor girl' I thought to myself.

'I hope for her sake this works' and with that final thought, I walked towards the bed.

Hikari's P.O.V

As soon as I lied down I felt weird. I was nervous, dizzy and in pain all at the same time, it was quite nerve wracking.

"Hikari! Are you gonna be okay? Oh please don't die Hikari, we just met and we haven't gotten the chance to.."

"Finn" I said in a low but stern voice. "Don't be so dramatic, I'm going to be fine, it's just a cut, nothing to cry about."

*Sniff* "I'm sorry, I'm just so worried, you must be in so much pain"

"This is nothing Finn, so don't worry."

I put on the best smile I could, hoping it would convince him that I really was fine. In reality though, I wasn't at all. The pain was almost unbearable, where was the wizard anyways? As soon as that thought passed through my mind the wizard pulled and sat on a stool net to the bed.

"Yo..you…you..your"

"My what?" I looked at the wizard trying to figure out what he was trying to say. He was blushing and scratching the back of his head.

"Your..shirt…roll it up…please"

"Oh o-okay"

I blushed badly as I rolled my shirt up. I never exposed my body much, especially in front of a guy. I know it's just my stomach but still, it felt weird, but I felt I could trust the Wizard; he didn't seem like a pervert at all and something in those eyes just made me feel that it was okay to trust him. When I finally pulled my shirt up enough for the gash to show, the wizard pulled out a jar.

"This…may sting a bit….also…do not..be…alarmed when my hands…start to glow…"

I was a bit scared when he mentioned the hand glowing part, but I just nodded and closed my eyes. He began to apply the gauze on my cut and I couldn't help but hiss.

"..Sorry"

"Don't be, you're helping me, so there's no need to apologize."

He made a noise that sounded somewhat similar to a laugh "you…are a funny one."

Confused at what he said, I was about to ask why he would say that but before I could, he began to speak.

"I'm..going to use…my magic now…"

I nodded, closed my eyes and braced myself. I heard him mumble something and then I felt a weird sensation. It didn't burn but it was more than warm. I still kept my eyes closed though.

"I'm..done..now… sit up…so I can…bandage you"

"Wow, that was fast." I said amazed at how painless the process was, how fast it went and how much better I felt."

I sat upright and let him bandage around my torso. He was very close, to the point where I felt his breath on my skin. I shivered and blushed. This was defiantly something I was not used too. Once he was finished he pinned the bandage together so it wouldn't fall apart.

"You can put….your shirt down now"

I smiled at him, pulled my shirt down, and stood up

"Thank you so much…uh

"Wizard..just call me Wizard"

I Couldn't help but wonder if he had an actual name. I thought of asking him but I figured if he wanted me to know he would've told me.

"Okay, Thank you Wizard." I smiled at him and bowed.

"You're welcome…" said the wizard.

"Well, I should be going now. Bye." I was about to open the door to leave but then the Wizard spoke up.

"Come by…Tomorrow so..I can see if you…healed properly."

"Okay" I said, in a cheerful tone. "Well I'm off now, bye bye"

I then closed the door and began to walk home.

Wizards P.O.V

"Goodbye..Miss Hikari" I replied and then went back upstairs to my telescope.

'She's weird for a human.' I thought to myself as I returned to looking at the beautiful stars in the summer night sky.
