welcome back

Ähm ... yes ...

Well, I don't want to stop you for long and wish you a lot of fun on my third night ^^

I remember very well when I first met this woman, who was called Alayna.
She sat in front of me in the tailor's seat and smiled at me politely.
I don't know why, but for some reason this smile and face seemed so familiar to me.
And somehow this beautiful smile clouded me.
No!
It had blinded me, forced me to stare at her and not to look away, even though it was so bright.
From where I knew this said face, with that charming smile, I just didn't know.
So I took a closer look at Alayna.

She had a small and slightly strong stature as well as a relatively fair skin that glistened a little bit in the light, at least it looked like it to me, with long blue hair, which made slight waves, as well as bangs that stop at her large blue eyes.
I stopped at her eyes.
They glowed insanely pure.
Almost as pure as that of a child, which entered the world for the first time.
Then I looked at her long hair.
This looked like she had recently tied it together, a braid that my father and I always wore one.
Perhaps her hair was even long up to her heels, if not a little longer, but I couldn't estimate that as she was sitting on the floor and her long hair was lying around her.
Alayna's clothes I found somehow strange, very strange for someone who actually knew the royal family personally ... rather, no one in Alma Torran wore such clothes!
Her clothes were a simple small blue vest, which she left open at the time, a bandeau, which was only around her breasts, leaving her belly free.
She wore a white Sirwal as a legwear, but no shoes, which was actually mandatory in the palace.
I looked around a bit but couldn't find any shoes, so I concluded that she was picking up this apple, to which she was naked.

When I looked back at Alayna, my gaze immediately stopped at her breasts and stared at her.
I was 5, but I had a very strange habit, which probably came from my father.
They were quite appropriate size, so I wanted to touch them.
Alayna stared at me confused at first, when I didn't answer anything, looked something back and forth, then stared at me and then at her breasts when she noticed that I had been staring at her for quite a while.
At first she always changed her eyes to me and her breasts, until she finally held her arms in front of me and stared at me indignantly.
"Damn! You are a child! How dare you get a woman there..." it started and suddenly stopped.
She seemed to have somehow disappeared in thought.
Because her lips formed into a small O, and then strangely she looked into the distance.
"Oh, forget what I wanted to say," she said, waving the thought aside, whatever his thought had been ...
"What I want to know is why you're here?"
She's direct!
"Um, I was arguing with my parents and I just wanted my peace in front of them," I replied sadly, looking at it to the golden floor.
"I know that. I just wanted to know why you came in here. Normally you shouldn't be able to see the gate," she said.
I didn't understand what she meant.
Why shouldn't I be able to see this gate?
"Well, because it's actually invisible," she replied to my question, which I didn't even ask her.
"How did you know what I was thinking?" I asked her.
"It's very simple. You guys make such a weird face when you have a question in your head," she replied simply, then coughing.
We humans?
Why did she tell you instead of us?
She's a human being, isn't she?
I waited for her to answer my question.
But she just kept looking at me and ate the rest of the apple.
"Maybe I didn't use my magic properly when I clawed this apple..." she mumbled in front of her.
"Wait! You stole the apple?!"
"Well, I wouldn't say stealing now. I borrowed it from me," she said, smiling, swallowing the rest and throwing the nibbled apple into the trash can, which was a few feet away from her.
When the apple fell in the bucket, she made a winning pose and turned away from me again.
"Listen, Solomon. You shouldn't be here yet. You're just too young to understand a lot ... Well. Actually, you shouldn't know anything about me at all," Alayna said, then shrugged her shoulders and read her book.
"Please leave this library again," she asked.
What?
I should leave this library and not really get to know it?
But who was that person in the first place?
And why did she give me orders?
I mean, I was the prince, will be the future king over the 12 galaxies while they are a ... no one was!
Questions about questions were in my head.
But since I was taught, I only went to the gate, as she had just asked me.
I first turned over to the woman who was immersed in her book, then looked at the golden floor and then went back to her.
I walked slowly, so as not to snatch this mysterious woman from her concentration, past her and looked at the various book departments that existed here.
If I wasn't allowed to come here, I would at least like to know beforehand what books were available.
There was a library in the palace, but I read these books from front to back, so I was looking for a new challenge.
So I looked to see if there were other books here.
"Legends of Alma Torran ... The great stream of the Rukh ... Magic Base No. 1 ..." I read aloud.
I heard coughing from Alayna's side, so I looked at her to make sure she didn't notice me, which she didn't, as she was still immersed in her book.
"... Sword art of Sindria ... You know that the books are all messed up," I told Alayna, who gave me only one Mhm.
She seemed really fascinating about this book.
Meanwhile, I continued to read until I stopped at a book, which captured my curiosity.
"Alma Torran: The world of the dead?!" I said in shock.
I fished this thick book off the shelf and carried it awkwardly to the table where Alayna sat.
She still seemed to be immersed in her book, because she hadn't answered me properly before and didn't even notice that I was still there.
So I put the thick book on the table and opened the first pages.
"Alma Torran was once a world with several independent and intelligent species. Each established their own prosperous society, however as their population increased, and they expanded their borders, the vast majority of species started fighting each other for supremacy, some even joined forces." I read quietly in front of me.
"The stronger species began destroying the weaker species, the latter becoming a food source for the stronger species, and the weakest species of all was the humans?" I asked, confused.
Why were people the weakest of all species?
We have magic, except for some who do not live in Alma Torran!
So why should we be the weakest?
"The conflict between different species grew to a such colossal scale, that Ill Ilah, the creator of Alma Torran, intervened to save the world from des-" I read on and grew louder as I understood the content before Alayna ripped the book from my hands.
"Say it! I don't think you heard the shot, didn't you?! What do you dare to read this heavy book?!" she asked me, looking at me in a nasty way.
I, on the other hand, looked insulted.
I was able to read this book very well, which I wanted to say to her immediately afterwards.
If she hadn't happened to me again.
"I know you're a smart kid. But damn! You are not allowed to read this book, we have understood each other, my friend?!" she asked, and rose from her place shortly afterwards to put the book away.
I saw them standing for the first time.
I estimated them in the big at 1.67 cm.
A normal size for a woman ... I believed.
I saw her standing on the tip of her toes to put the book higher up so I couldn't get on, which was relatively illogical, because I was just around 1.15.
When she had stowed the book, she clapped the dust from her hands and wanted to go straight to me to take me out.
But then she started coughing more, so I jumped up and looked at her in shock.
"Oh God! Alayna! Are you okay?!" I asked anxiously and rushed to her.
What a stupid question!
Of course, she wasn't doing well!
After all, she just had an extreme coughing fit, so she even spat blood slightly.
I didn't know what to do.
So I wanted to get my mother quickly, because she knew her.
I just turned around at the heel and wanted to run straight to the gate.
But when Alayna grabbed me by my wrist.
"Stay ... Please here ... It goes ... already ... again ..." she breathed and looked at me with dark eyes, which slowly got a red stitch.
I together.
I have never seen this hatred and despair that was reflected in their eyes before.
Not even with my parents, if they were angry at something or desperate.
This hatred and despair was something else entirely.
Something that must have happened in her past.
From then on I could see such strange little birds, which were partly white and partly black.
Through my parents I knew that there had been a time when certain magicians could see this Rukh, as they were just called, and apparently I could see this Rukh.
Through a lesson at the Magi Academy, I learned that there were two different Rukh.
The white, the purity and the faithful, and the black ones, the grief and hatred.
But their Rukh looked like black moths, all of which fell into the deep.
Of those who died, was never mentioned.
I knelt down and gently stroked her hair when I saw her trembling.
She was probably scared.
But what was she afraid of?
And why were I suddenly shown Rukh, all of which are going black and gradually dying out?
I had so many questions.
But I was much more afraid.
I just didn't know what to do and how to help her.
Until I remembered an event from a few months ago.

I once had such a beautiful parakeet that had a blue feather.
I gave it the name Stitch, based on my favorite children's series, which I always saw with my parents back then.
Only, a few weeks before my birthday he died unfortunately.
He had not survived the sunset that came.
I was very sad and cried when we buried him.
However, my parents reassured me and told me that I should never forget the beautiful time I had with Stitch.
"For as long as you remember this beautiful time, your late friend's Rukh will remain by your side and continue to protect you along your way," my mother said, smiling, wiping away my tears and nodding.

"You know? I've only just met you, but ... I feel that you have experienced something traumatic in your past that will lead you into this state," I said to Alayna, brushing her hair further.
"You must not think about it, but remember the time when you were happy," I said, pondering what else to tell her.
"Do you have friends, Alayna?" I asked, to which she nodded slightly and pinched her eyes.
"They ... but ... for a long time ... deceased ..." she breathed and lost a few tears.
With a mourning mine drawn, I looked at her, then stroked her over the back and apologized to her.
I had actually thought that my mother was her friend, because the two spoke so confidently with each other, if you would call it familiar.
But I had probably thought too far.
"Then remember the time you were with your friends. How much fun you all had and how happy you were with them. If you store all this in your heart, your friends will stay with you forever. They follow you everywhere and continue to protect you," I said, suddenly seeing a few Rukh flying to us.
There were about 12 white Rukh that formed around Alayna.
I didn't know what was happening.
But... the Rukh ... they suddenly began to shine and expelled the black Rukh from her.
I was amazed and perplexed by what just happened.
From now on, these 12 white Rukh appeared, one of them black and the other black and white, giving her hope again.
And although the two black Rukh, with only one was black, were also black, like the others who had attacked Alayna earlier, I felt something good in them.
So I wasn't worried about them.
Alayna, meanwhile, stopped shaking and slowly relaxed in my arms.
When she slowly opened her eyes and looked at me, I saw again the beautiful blue eyes that glowed so beautifully.
"Hey. Is everything okay again?" I asked her, so she just nodded silently to me.
After a while she rose, with my rather useless support, and sat on the red pillow, where she sat with ours.
She stroked over her neck, a sign that her neck was very rough.
Luckily, I had taught water taming at the Magi Academy, although it wasn't one of my strengths, so I could conjure up water in her cup and hand it over to her.
She took the cup from my hands, still trembling, drank it in one, and asked me to do one more.
I liked her and was relieved when she thanked me.
"Oh what! I had no idea what to do!" I said, shaking my hands.
But Alayna stared at me and smiled.
Oh man!
This smile was simply breathtakingly beautiful and so damn well known!
"But for the fact that you had no idea what to do, you helped me a lot," she said, whispering.
Her voice was probably still not quite there.
I stroked my head embarrassed and said that I only said the same thing that one of my mother had told me when I lost a little friend.
Then I looked sadly at the golden floor and then looked up to her as she giggled slightly.
"You remind me a little bit of someone I know very well. He always tried to master everything on his own and even thought he was different from his friends, even different from his colleagues," she said.
I looked at her confused.
"I was stupid. I didn't realize that the people around me were there for me and never considered me anything special. However, you are different. Sometimes I would like to have that time back to enjoy the time and accept help ..."
"What was the latter?" I asked her as she squealed the last sentence.
She looked at me and smiled.
"Oh! Nothing at all!" she smiled, and then began to cough again.
Worried that this attack would come again, she shook her head and thought it wouldn't happen again.
Staring at her, I exhaled with relief as she smiled at me.
I didn't know why, but I felt so attracted to this woman that I wondered if it was normal to feel something like that.
After all, I was 5 years old and she ...
"Tell Alayna, how old are you?" I asked her.
"How old would you appreciate me?" she asked me back.
I thought.
How old did she seem to me?
"I guess about 15, 16 years old?" I asked her.
She laughed all at once.
"Do I look so young for you?" she asked me again, so I just nodded my head.
"Well! Then I'm about 15, 16 years old for you!" she laughed.
"But I want to know how old you really are!" I protested, so that she only put a finger on my nose and whispered that she would take her true age with her to the grave.
"In addition, you never ask a lady about her age, her height and her weight. Especially not according to their weight! A real gentleman doesn't. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about," she said, then had to laugh.
She seemed to have remembered something, and then I laughed with her.
So I stayed with her for a while until she told me to go back slowly.
"Your mother and father have been looking for you all the time."
"But they can take me! They want to forbid me to see my friends again and go to the Magi Academy!" I said, looking on the ground insulted and hurt.
"I know. But if you tell your parents that your life is deserted on your own, then I'm sure they can understand you. You just have to understand your parents and give them a chance," Alayna said, smiling, so I looked at her, then back to the ground and nodded in approval.
So I rose from my seat, where I sat all the time, went to her and hugged her.
I felt she wasn't expecting it.
Because she didn't put her arms around me until a few minutes later.
"Solomon. You and I now have a secret," she whispered into my ear.
I distanced myself a little from her so that I could see her in the eyes, which kept me captivated.
"You must not tell anyone about me. Don't paint your parents anymore, understood?" she asked me.
I actually wanted to know why no one was allowed to know about her.
Especially not my parents?
I thought my mother and she knew each other.
But I refused to ask her this and just nodded my head, to which she smiled softly and looked behind me as I walked slowly to the gate.
I wondered how the gate opened?
After all, it had no doorknobs.
But when I approached her, an opening noise sounded.
I had probably run through an opening mechanism, and then the gate opened.
"Solomon?" Alayna's voice sounded behind me.
I turned around and looked over at her.
We were actually a few meters away, so I couldn't have understood them.
But it sounded like they were standing right next to me.
"I'm talking to you about the Rukh, so you can hear me." she said in my head.
I stared at her from afar and saw that she was continuing to read this book.
"I want to tell you something. I... I allow you to visit me whenever you want and if you want to talk to someone. I'm always in this place, so you don't have to go looking for me directly."
I beamed!
I really didn't count that!
"But the only thing I want from you is food. I'm starving here! It can just be apples or ... Ah! Watermelons! Ah, I last had it as a child!" she said, and I literally felt the saliva coming up in her mouth.
"Okay! I promise you that the next time I will visit you with watermelons!" I promised her, bowed to her and then left this mysterious library.
But before the gate closed behind me, I heard her congratulate me on my birthday.
When you thought that my birthday started badly at the beginning, it ended at least in the end great.
Because I found a new mysterious girlfriend.

Since that day, I went out more regularly visiting them and always took something to eat.
It was a bit hard to take from my plate without my parents noticing.
What about them, by the way?
We talked about what happened on my 5th birthday and I told them what was close to my heart and really hurt me.
I also explained to them that I was not really suitable for a king, so they stared at me first, then took themselves and me in their arms, apologizing to me.
"We had no idea that life as a prince would torment you so much. Please forgive us for being such agonizing parents for you. We love you."
They understood why I had protected my friends and wanted to give me a little more freedom.
And I was allowed to continue to go to the Magi Academy and continue to meet my friends or even let them stay with me and take them with me in the palace, which was actually forbidden for such.
Once I took them to behave, so they learned to behave and never did such nonsense again.
Once everything was done, homework, meeting friends, my prince duties, which I still had to do, just not as extreme as before, and dinner with my family, I always went to Alayna.
I just couldn't stop thinking about her.
She was now a part of my family.
A secret girlfriend that no one knew about.
And I was happy about it!
She even taught me something to use the Rukh, how to communicate with them, which I didn't really need, because I didn't hear them at all, and Alayna, and how I could continue to behave normally without showing that I could see this Rukh!
So I went to the corridor where this gate was, just invisible and knocked around on the wall.
I was 10 years old and still no one knows about my secret girlfriend.
Besides, I can't whistle them.
She became the sun for me, my big sister, which I admire.
She made me laugh when I was sad.
I looked after and helped her when she got another seizure like that.

In the beginning, when I still had so many questions, I asked her where she came from, to which she did not give me an answer.
Why she looked like me and she wasn't my mother, I had argued extremely with my mother, whereupon she gave me a baking pipe, admonished me and said that I should never think anything like this again.
"Your mother loves you above all else! Even if you were arguing violently!" she said to me, to which I then apologized.
Why she looked more like me than my parents, but she didn't give me an answer.
However, I found that little by little, when I was patient, she answered me a few questions, such as why she was always coughing so badly, which she had never answered at first.
"Well, my Rukh is a big disaster. As you have found out myself, I have experienced a terrible trauma in my past, where my Rukh turn black when I remember it. They follow that I cough. But instead of coughing like a human being, I'd rather cough up my magoi," she told me.
I just understood a little bit what she was trying to explain to me.
But instead of annoying them, I just waited a little bit and wrote my questions in such a little notebook, so I could never forget them.

I was just looking for the gate.
Since she once explained to me that this gate would always be shifted, but would always remain in the same corridor, I knocked on the walls with my divine staff, which I received for my 10th birthday.
But when I saw the gate, I jumped in joyfully.
I also had her favorite fruit with me.
Watermelon!
I imagined her saliva face when she saw it, and those sparkling blue eyes that she always gave when I took something delicious.
I was fishing around in the bag where the watermelon was, and this time I wanted to surprise Alayna from behind.
However, my joy quickly faded when I saw my parents discuss with Alayna.
"How could you reveal Solomon of you?! He is still a child, God!" my father mocked her. Had he just called she God?
I looked bewildered at Alayna, who did not dare to look at my father, but rather stared at the golden floor.
"Father! You ask us to keep him away from you because you think his fate could change, right?! But then, 5 years ago, you decide to give me nothing, just like to present yourself to him! Why do you have to disobey a God again and again?! And this time it's you who disobey you!" my mother Alayna shouted.
I didn't understand what was going on?
Why did my father call my best friend God?
Why did my mother call her a father?
She was clearly a woman, wasn't she?
And more importantly, how did they know I was in touch with her?
When I looked back at my parents, I saw my little notebook in which I wrote down all the questions and the answers I got, in my father's hands.
I froze when I saw it in his hand.
"Reply pleases, Father!"
"I'm sorry..." she whispered and stroked her upper arm.
"Speak louder!" my father screamed, so Alayna shrugged and wanted to crawl into the next hole.
"I'm sorry. But... I felt so comfortable when he was with me. Moreover, his future is still going in the same direction. The only difference is that he knows me," Alayna said, looking to my parents.
"That's not interested! 'He doesn't even know me.' These were your words when we wanted to show him to you!" my father said.
"I know ... But ..."
"No more buts, Father! You know who he was in your former life and we know that! And if you continue to disobey us, we are unfortunately forced to never express this wish!" my mother threatened.
Alayna looked at my mother in shock and then looked back to the golden floor as tears formed in her eyes.
What did my mother mean by that, they would never express this wish?
What is the wish?
But to think about it even more didn't get me far.
For I saw in short, Alayna clenched her hands in fists and an aggressive aura formed around her.
My parents also felt the changes in her and walked a few steps away from her.
Only what my parents did not see were their Rukh, who formed clearly in front of her and turned black again.
Only this time, it was something different than the last times.
This time, she wanted to kill someone.
Namely my parents!
I jumped from my hiding place and stood protectively in front of them.
"Solomon?!" I just heard her.
But my attention was just my best friend, who just needed me.
As I have understood, I had probably been an important person in her previous life, At least I thought.
So I couldn't let them down.
"Alayna! Do you hear me?! Please, you have to pull yourself together again!" I cried.
But my voice did not penetrate her.
Quite the contrary!
She knocked me out of the way, so I flew in the bookshelf.
"Solomon!" my parents shouted to me.
Luckily, I was able to use the protective wall, so I picked myself up again and saw that my parents were fighting with her.
They were equally strong.
With only a single small difference; Alayna kept the upper hand in this fight.
She was a little more powerful than my parents, which secretly asked me who this woman really was.
However, I shook my head and ran to Alayna.
I didn't want to lose my parents or my best friend.
So I took the only opportunity I've ever done with her.
I hugged her as tightly as I could and stroked small circles over her back.
Something I had done a long time ago with someone who also wanted to kill someone.
"Everything will be fine! I will not allow us to be separated! You are my sunshine! My family ... My future. I will never allow you to be hurt, my little sunshine," I said unconsciously, losing tears.
I felt her move less and sob at some point.
"I'm sorry, Solomon! I kept my greatest secret from you because I was afraid if you knew, you would never have me again as your child!" she sobbed, putting her arms in front of her eyes.
I didn't understand what she meant by that and I just looked over to my parents, who looked to the ground, depressed and now full of guilt.
"I've built it all up here so I can come back to this wonderful family! But I destroyed everything!" she screamed, putting her head on my little shoulder.
Still not understanding what she meant by it, I just stroked her over the back and comforted her.
But when I remembered the times when I felt like she was a family for me and something very special, I suddenly had to smile.
I found out the biggest secret of the decade, what I am at the beginning of our meeting and since I saw her beautiful smile and face.
She was my child!
The child who was loved by the Rukh!
The child that long ago and in an old forgotten era had to leave my wife and I behind, and the fate of two worlds, since birth, weighed on their shoulders.
My beloved child!

Well, that was my third night.
I hope you liked it and gave you suspense, harmony and humor.
Especially humor ^^

By the way; Unfortunately, I don't have the humor of the actual author of Magi.
But, I'm kind of trying to bring that humor in here ^^

Here is the explanation:

Well, for now there is no explanation.
But if you would like to be told something because you didn't understand something, you can ask me privately or in the review, but only once please ^^

I would look forward to detailed and nice criticism. But not too nice.
After all, I want to improve where I might be bad, especially in English ^^

I hope you like it and take it into the spell of imagination ^^
I also hope that you will read the upcoming chapters or nights.
Until then, ^^
In love your MimiTenshi
