I said standing up and looking around I was in my bed I grabbed my blade from its sheath. I opened the door and slowly trend down the steps the once loud steps were now silent. I looked around and saw my Dad I stared at him he looked at me confused and I sheath my sword. “Am I really back?” I said looking to my hands my hair swung at the back of my neck and my cloak was worn and torn. My dad stood looking at me confused “Who the fuck are you?” I put a hand on my sword. “This doesn’t make sense I didn’t train my body.” I looked around and saw Roger he set down something he was holding “Holy shit… Muffin?”. I reached out to Roger “I missed you.” I hugged him and felt tears go down my face “Hey are you okay bud?” I wiped away my tears as I stared at him “I was gone so long I just miss you.” He wrapped his arms around me and “you were only asleep for two days…” I sighed “Well Geist decided that I should train while I was trapped under magic. WHERE’S REN !!” I pushed Roger away and looked around “Huh where is she!!!” Roger looked at me I grabbed his shoulders tight was this real? “you shouldn’t be jumping around you need to rest.” I felt my stomach growl I rubbed my head and sighed “I am hungry… Dad can I take your truck to Jonas’s?” My dad looked down “Actually I wanted to talk to you.” I watched as he circled around to me strangely I saw something on the ground behind him a thread. I looked to see a thread in Roger’s hand. I jumped back and flipped over the couch, “What do you think you are doing?” I said looking them over Roger looked at me confused “What are you talking about?” I looked back and forth between Roger and my Dad “I just wake up from what feels like years of training and you try to send me to the magic realm?” I had one hand on my sword and watched as they looked at me I looked to the back door and front door both could be a trap door to the magic realm. I ran up the stairs and to my room passing my dogs I looked at them “I am sorry I didn’t greet you.” I patted their heads and heard my father and Roger run up the stairs. The door flung open, “Look Muffin I know it will seem scary but I will show you around and everything will be okay. The magic order decided to look over the harm you caused on the humans. And plus everything there is so magical.” I opened my window and slipped through landing with a thud I rolled I looked back to the house they poked their heads out the window“I talked to mom about her parents they were kind and understanding and even tried to help mom hide me and my dad.” Dad looked at me “You talked to her?” I nodded “What did she say? Please, you gotta tell me?!” I looked up to my house the prison my father had locked himself in the memory of my mother haunted him like a long lost sweet childish dream.“She said that we need to live on to move on.” I said knowing how crazy my father had turned after losing my mother, I looked back to Roger as my Dad backed up crying “So did they really ask to see me?” Roger nodded “They want to meet you. I didn’t talk to them but I the messager they sent said so.” I looked at him “I will go after I get something to eat and see everyone I haven’t been around for a while.” Roger went downstairs and walked out of the house rather than jumping like me and we walked to Jonas’s place passing every food place on the way made my stomach fill with pain “So you uh look different taller, stronger, more alive…” I nodded “Who knew years without sleep or food could make you feel so much better. But I am so done with tea!” I said looking at the people who stared at Roger and I. I saw a little girl run up to me “What are you?” I took a knee and patted her sweet little head “I am Malcolm it’s nice to meet you.” She smiled “Can you do magic?” I nodded and held out my hand “What’s your favorite animal?” She smiled her little child dreams of life glowed in her eyes. “I like ponies!” I chuckled and watched as a horse formed in my hand its ice was not normal and was everlasting ice it would never melt. I made my name on the bottom and handed it to her “You can keep it forever. It will never melt and you can look to it and remember me. And remember Magic is not scary” She showed it to her mother and they both looked over the ice in awe, “Bye bye Malcolm. Thank you” The girl said waving as I waved and walked away, “So do you want kids?” I thought of how my mother talked about having kids. But the question from Roger made my face red. “Yeah, it would be great.” Roger held my hand I flinched “you okay?” I nodded and I chuckled holding his hand “Yeah just been a while since another person has touched me. Gheist is weird about contact.” He chuckled “So you saying you been touching yourself.” I laughed he smiled “I missed your laugh so much… And Spirits don’t like contact because when you touch them too much you will see into their life.” I nodded it made sense why they would be protective we walked along and a few people asked to take pictures with us taking pictures and making everlasting ice figures. “So it never melts?” I nodded and held out my finger “Nope it will crack and split when I die though.” I said looking to a teen around 12, “so what your limits to how much power you can use?” I sighed “Well I am not sure so far I have been pushed to my limits.” I didn’t really need to be telling this kid I what I could and couldn’t do and with so much training I lost what I could do. I looked over the group of teens, “so were you that elf that saved those people?” I nodded and everyone started to ask me about it. “I am really sorry guys but I will start an instatwitter so you will be able to ask questions there but right now I need to go see my friends.” I said walking past the group of kids “Oh okay well hope everything goes well for you.” I waved and Roger and I went on walking, “I am sorry I wasn’t able to help you in the battle…” Roger said holding my hand again I chuckled “Well if we would have all gone we all would have died. The magic order was able to look over my death because they saw how much I wanted to save those people charging in there by myself.” Roger looked at me and I kept my eyes forward, “So you trained for years?” I nodded and he rubbed his neck “I can’t believe how different you look…” I pulled my phone from my pocket and pulled up the screen looking to see long black hair in a ponytail like flames growing up my hair. My face looked my age rather than a little kid like before. I looked alive and my age. “I could lose some hair but other than that I look great.” I took a selfie with Roger and smiled, “I am glad you are feeling better. And your hair maybe you should keep it...” He said hugging me I pushed him off “Come on, we gotta see the others.” I said grabbing him by the hand and leading him down the road. His wings spread and he pulled me to him as he pushed off the ground. Pushing him away I formed ice wings and flew alongside him. Flying there together we landed by Jonas’s house and opened the door looking to everyone they looked at me. I didn’t see Gears “Hey guys,” I said they looked at me angrily. “I am sorry I had to freeze you guys I didn’t want you guys coming to the battle or freeing anyone from the ice.” They looked at each other and Snakes got up, “You are all over the newsman congrats.” Snakes left and I sighed knowing he was mad freezing him and his snake... Who was missing from around his neck. Ren came out a room and looked at me I charged her. “I couldn’t sleep or eat and all I have had for years is tea… You…” I looked at her and sighed “You owe me.” Gears walked in confused I sat everyone down and explained everything. I looked around Jonas still nowhere to be seen, everyone looked down and I stood it was that same look the day of the crash when they told me my mom was gone. “The looks of people who had bad news but refused to say anything no one wanted to break the little child. I stood “No no.” Roger pulled me back to my seat “Calm down… He disappeared when it was raining he just ran. I can’t track a scent I can’t smell and he left his phone.” I held up my hand and closed my eyes “Give me a sec.” I looked around to see the echoing black walls and black water with the little table with tea. “Back so soon?” I chuckled and took a sip of tea as I sat down. “I need to know where Jonas is.” I said setting down the tea it was a new kind thank god. A light purple and smelled sweet, “He is with his brother, I will guide you there.” I nodded and set down the cup “Thank you.” I felt everything fall and I looked around I held out my hand and watched as light formed and dots floated to the floor and a blast of light made everyone cover their eyes. When the light faded Geist stood and looked at me sitting down he looked at everyone “I will lead the way to the human.” We all walked following this giant wolf down the streets walking for hours I walked beside Geist “I thought you could only be out for an hour?” He chuckled “Now it seems I could live out here. It’s strange maybe because you have become stronger? I am unsure but I must ask you about the human world.” I watched as Geist pointed out everything and asked me about it explaining it as best as I could we reached a really nice house. “He is in there,” Geist said looking to the house I looked at the others “Who should go in after him?” Everyone chuckled “is that even a question it should be you.” Sparkles said looking at me I looked at myself and then to Roger he smiled and pushed me toward the door, I knocked on the door and a nice woman opened the door. “Hi um I am looking for a friend of mine… His name is Jonas…” the woman nodded “I will let him know and you are?” I rubbed my neck knowing she would realize I was famous if I gave her my name “His crush,” She scanned me “Okay I will see if he wants to talk to you wait right here.” She closed the door and I looked back to the others “she didn’t let you in what a bitch. Fucking homophobe.” Ruffles said crossing his arms “be nice!” Sparkles said elbowing him, I heard thudding from inside the house and the door swung open and I looked to see Jonas. “Oh my God… I thought you died…” I looked at him confused and he wrapped his arms around me I looked to the others we were able to clear up the air on the fact I was perfectly fine and we were ushered inside. I looked to see a kid around 15 with a shaved head. “Hey, guys this is our little bro Jake. Jake this is your family to okay this is Sparkles, Ruffles, Gears, Roge, and My Muffin. And Snakes isn’t here?” Jake waved and smiled “I got to hear a lot of stories about you.” I smiled and Jonas looked at me “You look so different…” I smiled and looked to my hair “Yeah I am thinking about keeping the hair.” He patted his brother who looked at him so worries “Are you going to go home now?” Jonas rubbed his head “Yeah but I will see you every day and help you with your homework okay.” Jonas patted his head and hugged him then went to the woman. “Thank you so much for letting me stay here while I got myself in order. And please watch our brother for us.” She nodded and looked at us and watched as we left, “you guys walked here?!” I nodded “it was the only way to follow Geist he can’t fit in the car and he can’t find you from inside my head.” We walked and Roger led following his nose “I am glad you found your brother but next time don’t storm out like that.” I said as Jonas held my hand Roger looked at me and then sighed when we got closer the others began to speed up knowing where they were I then asked Roger and Jonas to come to a park with me. Walking together I looked at them and stood. “So I know that both of you really like me and I still haven’t figured out who I like. I still need time to figure everything out myself don’t hate each while I am trying to figure it out.” They looked at each other and then to me “Take your time.” Roger said looking at me I looked to Jonas he nodded. I felt really loved and it was nice, “Anway so you saw your friends so lets go to Mama Maddies.” I looked at Roger and sighed “Can’t they just come here?” I said not really wanting to go the magic realm. “They are royal they can’t just leave they aren’t allowed outside their castle grounds.” Jonas looked at me confused “You are going to the magic realm?” I nodded and he glared at Roger “You are leaving you leaving me you should have just let me keep thinking you were dead. I will never see you again” I grabbed his hand and looked up at him “Listen to me. I am only going for today. My grandparents wanted to meet me.” I looked at Roger “Have you met them?” Roger shrugged “I have seen them but in a crowd of people so no not really. “Maybe I should go to…” I looked to Jonas and nodded “There is no law saying you can’t so you are welcome to.” I said smiling Roger looked around “I still can’t believe that they welcomed magics into their world… It’s just so crazy ya know. Like all these years of having to hide and live in fear of being taken to some lab…” I nodded and watched as a few people pulled their kids away from me and Roger “Well we aren’t in a lab but people still don’t like us… So don’t jinx it please.” I said watching as a group of big guys walked over, “Go home ya fucking fairies!” He raised a baseball bat and pointed to us. “Are you saying that because I am gay or because I am an Elf.” Roger chuckled and so did I, Jonas looked at them, “Look we aren’t doing anything so could you kindly fuck off please.” I elbowed Jonas “Don’t worry I am not a magic being so I can start a fight and not get killed.” He said looking to the big men before us, I sighed “Damn it, Roger, why you gotta jinx everything?!” Roger held my hand and put me behind him and I pushed him “Did you forget that I am kinda older than you now!” I said looking at him he shook his head “Doesn’t matter you are still shorter than me.” He gently touched my face and put me behind him and I sighed, “Fine just don’t get yourself killed.” I said knowing he could easily beat up these guys without even trying but if he did he would be put to death for hurting a human. Jonas and the guys started yelling and they threw the first punch, Jonas dodged and I formed fire wings and towered over the men “Enough!” I said as the flames grew out, the men dropped Jonas.
