Owl
We are acting more like night owls now, I muse, looking at a toy owl as I wait for Daisuke, although technically since we spend the day awake as much as the nights we aren't exactly like owls. And there's Daisuke now, that shade of red is unmistakable, even in crowds. And there are the Haradas next to him, joy, if Risa tries to get me to be her boyfriend again I swear… I'm just not ready for romance. We're fourteen for crying out loud, and I for one am still working on trying to be less socially inept before I even think about that sort of thing. Her insistence that we double date with Riku and Daisuke is a pain, she may have grown up from the silly girl who decided she wanted to marry Dark without knowing the first thing about him, but she's still a birdbrain. I admit I'm somewhat fond of her, but she's just a friend, nothing more. Now if only I could get her to understand that, but oh well.
Forsaken
The Dream of the Forsaken was a deceptive piece of art, showing a peaceful meadow at sunset to the casual eye, but if you looked more closely the red sunset and clouds became fire licking at the heels of indistinct cloudy silhouettes that were ensnared by the tops of the trees on the meadows edge. As deceptive in its magic as in its looks, it was quite a monkey's paw. Satoshi felt his magic surge into the seal, then suddenly the drain stopped and the Dream of the Forsaken was simply a painting. There was nothing about it anymore that made one want to look again, that drew every eye to it and invoked admiration for the way the sunset glowed. 'There, it's done.' Laughter danced through his mind, 'You kind of overdid it on the magic there.' His partner 'said'. 'That's why you had me do this seal.' Satoshi pointed out as they turned to go 'because I need the control practice.' 'Yep! But you were putting so much into it that I felt my magic try to drain to you through the link.' 'No wonder I feel so low on power.' 'Yeah,here.'Magic tingled and suddenly Satoshi felt his partner's power surge into himself. 'What did you do?!' 'I lent you some of my power reserves, I thought if you almost drew from me by accident I could lend you some on purpose.'
