Since receiving the letter from Uncle Axel, my daddy seemed frustrated and like someone who had lost track of his goals. Dad will even always seem to be daydreaming in his office or at times like this. Though, I finally got to practice magic again today with daddy.
"Dad!" I called. This is the third time I've had to make dad stop daydreaming.
"Oh. Yes?. Have you done?"
"Dad, are you sick?" I asked. I couldn't ask directly why dad was like this even though I already knew the answer. Besides, Dad definitely didn't want to discuss it.
"Dad, it's okay, darling. Sorry to make you worry," said daddy. He was carrying me again, who was already heavy. Well, at least this is dad's chance before I grow up.
"Let's just end today's training, okay?. You're already great. Just practice the last stage, namely Dariaz's basic magic... now let's rest," said daddy and we went inside.
Yes, I think this is a good choice. A short break. So, what can I do so that dad doesn't get frustrated thinking about mom like this?.
"Play with Cemille, dad will be in the study if you look for dad," said dad. He dropped me off in front of my bedroom door and I saw Cemille already waiting for me in his human form.
Cemille was busy biting and licking the mana crystal I gave he like a normal dog eating a bone, but because he was currently in human form, it was like s
he was eating candy.
My daddy left me. I'm sure dad's will come back to find a way to find mommy again without having to act selfishly or break the law. Dad is a stubborn person.
For a moment, I was lost in my thoughts which were filled with many things. But right now my mind is distracted by looking for a way to get my daddy out of his despair. Comforting words would not be enough for him. I need to act directly. But what can a little kid like me do?!.
Oh!. Why didn't I think of this?!.
I can go to the past and prevent Uncle Axel from giving the letter to daddy. At least it will have a temporary effect. Or I will stop Uncle Axel from making a request to King Alan. Yes, that's great!.
I can also save Salamanca from kidnapping!. One shot two birds fall!.
Okay. How did I activate my time magic beforehand?
I started thinking really hard until finally my head was steaming because I couldn't find a way to activate it. Even though this is the right time so I can try my time magic before His Highness Yvone seals it again!. Actually, I'm also curious about why His Highness Yvone's magic seal was broken?.
Puk!.
I dropped my body on the bed tiredly then Cemille suddenly spoke to me.
"Princess Cellia. Do you want to activate time magic?" Cemille asked without losing her interest in the activity of chewing and biting the mana crystal.
I opened my eyes wide when I heard that and immediately got out of bed.
I ran over to Cemille who was on the sofa which was only a few steps from my bed. Because we already have a contract, he understands what I think and what I feel.
"Cemille knows how?!" I asked enthusiastically
"Um"
"How to?. Does Cellia have to put my hands together like when gathering mana?" I asked carelessly because apart from really not knowing, I was also very impatient.
"Touch the object!
"Eh?. Touch the object?. What thing?"
Cemille then shook his head, "I don't know. Just touch the object to activate the magic"
Half-hearted explanations like that made me even more frustrated. What does 'touch the thing!?'.
But how does Cemille know how to activate time magic by touching the object?.
Just forget it for now because, Suddenly I remembered something that made quite a bit of sense.
When I saw the ruins, I touched the wall beforehand. Then secondly, when I saw the figure named Xion, I was holding His Highness Yvone's hand and it was a touch between my hand and he.
So the meaning of 'touch the object' to activate my magic is to touch something?.
OK, I'm stuck again. What should I touch?. Walls and hands are completely different things so I can no longer use them as clues.
Maybe what I touch is related to what I see?. But what do ruins have to do with walls?. What is the relationship between the figure Xion and His Highness Yvone?. This is too difficult. I can't connect the two.
"Ah. That's enough. I'll try touching anything first!" I said angrily.
Suddenly I thought about touching Enzi's crystal. As soon as I touched it, a 'crack!' It sounded and suddenly I was in the middle of the festival at that time!.
Am I going back to the past?!.
I didn't see Cemille, but I could hear his voice when she spoke to me. Maybe because our souls are connected by a contract?.
OK, that doesn't really matter. The important thing now is that I know the meaning of 'touch the object' and how to activate the magic.
I just need to touch objects related to things that will take me to the future or the past.
If I touch a letter from Uncle Axel, that means I can go to a time where the letter was still a blank piece of paper!.
Then to Salamanca. I'll touch....
Eh? Wait. I do not own anything related to Salamanca!.
As soon as I deactivated the magic, I tried to look for something belonging to Sala in my room that might have been left behind. But I didn't find anything. I didn't even find strands of hair that I hoped were still there because my bed was always neat.
This room is always cleaned every three hours including changing the bed sheets which are also changed every day.
Huh. There is nothing left. What should I do for Sala?. Even though I have found a way to activate my magic. Why are there always obstacles in achieving something in life?.
I took a deep breath and thought again. This time I just sat quietly on the sofa next to Cemille who was still busy with her previous activities. He's still biting the mana crystal I gave he.
"Cemille, are those crystals delicious?. Why do you keep eating them like that?"
"Hum. This crystal tastes sweet to me..."
"Hey. Does it taste like sugar?"
"Hum. Maybe?"
"Why maybe-"
Suddenly I remembered the magic recording I saw at that time. Precisely in the part when Enzi saves Sala.
What if I go back to the past to meet Enzi using this crystal from Enzi, then I ask something from Enzi at that time. Maybe he has something related to Sala?! .Ah, I'm a genius!.
Once again. I went to the past by touching Enzi's crystal and I arrived back at the festival at that time. But this atmosphere is quite different. It's quite dark here and I just realized that I'm back to the time when I was kidnapped by slave traders!.
"Get lost!"
I heard the voice. This was the scene where Enzi came to save me!. He made the slave trader commit suicide on his orders.
"Enzi!" I called. I ran towards Enzi, but for some reason Enzi kept walking towards me and his gaze was straight ahead as if he didn't see me.
"Enzi!" I called him once again. This time I stopped running because I was afraid we would crash into each other. But in fact, Enzi kept going and finally he crashed into me without caring. Then I realized another strange thing. He went straight through me like he was passing through the wind.
As soon as I turned around. I saw myself there talking to Enzi. And the next scene is as I already know. Enzi left me and the city security officers found me and took me to my daddy.
Ini seperti yang terjadi di dalam mimpi ketika aku melihat Paman Axel dari sudut pandang yang berbeda. This is like what happened in a dream when I saw Uncle Axel from a different perspective.
In the end, now I'm just standing there in this alley confused. Does that mean I can't interact with anyone here?. Can I only be a spectator even though I can go to the past or the future?.
If that's the case, I can't change the fate that has already happened...
What about my previous intentions?. Will all that be in vain?. I won't be able to prevent Uncle Axel from giving the letter to daddy. I won't be able to prevent the kidnapping that will happen to Sala. Or, I can't help mommy.
I could only watch all the events without being able to do anything.
Suddenly a feeling of despair began to creep within me and was ready to envelop me. I suddenly didn't know what to do. I just wanted to cry because I felt like I had failed in achieving what I wanted to achieve. Even though I had planned everything well, and tried hard, in the end I didn't get anything. I can't do anything. It hurts so much.
Hiks!
Hiks!
My tears started to fall.
I walked out of the alley and tried to hope again.
I tried touching people passing by along the streets at this festival, but it was in vain. I can't touch any of them. I can't interact with them. I can't talk to them. They didn't see me either. I'm like a ghost...
"Oh. It turns out it's true..." someone muttered. He stopped in front of me.
"You were the one who hit me in the alley, right?. You are not of this world. No. You're not from this time. Are you lost little witch?"
I looked at the figure who stopped in front of me so suddenly that I couldn't help but stop walking. That figure is Enzi!. He's talking to me!. You know?. What happened?. Aren't I unable to interact with a single living creature here?!. Why is Enzi talking to me?.
I looked at Enzi in confusion and asked to confirm whether she was really talking to me or not.
"Are you talking to me, Enzi?" I asked.
"Yes. I'm talking to you, little witch. It seems you know me. Have we met?" Enzi asked.
"Yes. We met at this festival"
"At this festival?. There are only a few people I meet and talk to. Are you the little girl named Cellia?"
"Yes"
I'm confused. Why is Enzi asking about who I am. Isn't it clear?. With my form, he should be able to recognize me, right?. He even just separated from me in this dimension and time earlier. Even though he is bad at remembering. There's no way he forgot about me so quickly, right.
"So. So you are a time wizard huh ... why are you here?. What are you doing?. Are you lost in this dimension?"
Immediately I shook my head. "No!. I want to meet Enzi!"
"Meet me?. How can I help you, little witch?"
