Kindred Spirits
Later Makai woke up to find Nena changing into blue pyjamas and smiled. He suddenly remembered everything that had happened eariler especially when she'd kissed him on the forehead. He blushed a little at that. He then saw her climb in beside him gently so she wouldn't hurt him.
"Feeling better Makai? That was really brave what you did, giving up your magic just to stay with me. My Uncle did the same thing when he was our age." she told him softly.
Her voice sounded like music.
"Yes I know it was brave. It's just here in your realm, I..... feel like I belong. Back in the magical world among other Psammeads, they..... didn't like me very much." he replied softly.
"Why not?" Nena asked softly.
"Because I was too different and my magic isn't strong enough but also because my father lives among humans and enjoys their company better than Psammeads. The other Psammead kids made fun of me.
So one day..... I-I ran away from my realm, found a portal to here and went through it.
The Magical Council were furious but they were happy too to get rid of a Nassicus because they think our family is trouble just because of your Uncle. He decided to live with humans too and they didn't understand." he explained.
"I understand Makai. People think I'm weird because I like to dream and write stories but they don't understand. I also like it when my Aunt tells me stories about Psammeads. But I'm glad you're my friend." she said stroking his furry forehead. Tears streamed from his eyes.
"Makai..... you okay?" she asked softly.
"Y-Yeah I.... just miss my Dad. I haven't seen him in a long while. Sometimes I feel like I don't feel like a part of a family." he said as he wiped away the tears.
Izz had overheard Makai and felt sorry for him. He needed to talk to Dreamaz about it because it might make both Dreamaz and Makai feel better. He was sleeping over at Chrisa's house in bed beside her.
"How has Nena been since I moved?" he asked softly snuggling beside Chrisa in her Psammead form.
"She's okay but she has no human friends and she really misses you.
I hate not telling her about you except for when Elissa tells her about when we first met. She loves those stories with a passion. But I'm glad she has Makai as a friend.
Maybe it'll make telling her about you easier." Chrisa told him. Izz nodded in reply.
"M-Maybe we should tell her." he replied as they kissed and fell asleep.
"Makai..... what do you think your father thinks about, while you're here?
I bet he misses you." Nena asked her young Psammead friend. Makai felt better in her embrace. He felt that he could tell her anything and she would understand.
"I-I don't know. I bet he's not allowed to talk about me in the Psammead community because of my family. But I think about him all the time." Makai answered softly.
"Don't worry Makai I'm sure he loves you no matter where he is like my father probably does." Nena replied yawning as her eyes closed.
"She's right.
He does where ever he is right now.
I'm glad you're my friend too." he thought falling asleep.......
