We flew for I don’t know how long, but I think I overcame my fear of heights. Half of it was because we flew for a while that I got used to the feeling and the other half of it was because of the sight below me. It was breathtaking, the bright purple moon filled with clouds and the city lights below popped out in different shaded colors of blue, red, yellow, and green. As I was enjoying the sight I now noticed what was behind her back, beautiful white wings. It no she was breathtaking. Plus I think she noticed that I was terrified of heights when we started flying, I think I was pretty obvious when I held on tight
Cora then slowed down and landed on top of a pillar looking from side to side. She looked like she was in a hurry as she was searching for something or for someone, as a hooded person came out of the shadows and looked towards Cora. She let out a sigh of relief and set me down and patted me forward.
“Just for a few days.”
“……”
“I know you're angry with me, but I have to go.”
“Who said I was?”
Oh a lady, are they a couple! Watching them from the middle as they were arguing, and then I tugged her clothes.
“Are you leaving?”
I said as they quieted down and looked at me, Cora kneeled down and hugged me as she looked back towards her.
“Watch her.”
The other lady sighed and lowered herself towards me.
“You better.”
Cora then kiss this woman's forehead and put me in her arms, I KNEW IT!
After Cora left, the lady who had her arms around me squeezed me tight as she watched Cora vanish into the sky.
“Are you okay?”
I asked as I tried to put a little space between us so I could breathe.
“…..”
She then turned to me to sniff me.
“AUGH!!”
She then lets out a laugh because of my scream and pulls her hood back revealing her face, she is the complete opposite of Cora who has an elegant angel look. While the other has a….silver-grayish hair and green eyes with red lips….a sexy look.
“That’s a crime.”
I said as I felt my cheeks burn red while trying to look away from her face but her body…. 0////0….100% my anime type.
While being in her arms she asked me to tell her everything that had happened while she was introducing herself to me.
“I’m Eleanor Decebal, it’s an honor to meet you.”
She’s a noble *sighs* forbidden love.
“I’m Kim.”
“That’s it!?”
“….it’s nice to meet you too, Eleanor.”
She sighs as she looks away from me then back.
“Your appearance looks so cute but your tone sounds so old.”
“That’s because I don’t …..never mind.”
I'm no longer in the forest and I don’t like confessing everything to Cora, when I’m an adult in a child's body.
“Hahaha…..”
What am I struggling with right now, why am I struggling to understand. What exactly am I doing here? I don't understand this feeling I have right now and this situation in front of me.
For the next day we ate breakfast together, that was the first for me. Then after that we had some small talk about how Cora found me in the Treasure Stone Cove and what happened next.
“Is that what she’s been training you for?”
“Yeah, she said I should do the basics of self defense before I learn any attacks.”
“Do you even understand what you're doing then?”
“Nope, she said follow her lead.”
Eleanor facepalms herself then stares at what I’m doing.
“Eleanor.”
“Yes.”
“What were you learning when you were my age?”
“Your age…. I guess my powers.”
“Then can I test something? It's been on my mind and I thought you could give me your opinion.”
“Alright.”
I took a deep breath and remembered what Cora said ‘Miracle's are a bit known to be special for their abilities’ so what abilities do I have or am I creating them. Then I remembered what I always wanted to do, it was to sing with all my heart and dance like there’s no tomorrow. Imagine how many times I wanted to take the chance to do something I feel like enjoying and not being told not to do it feels so-
“KIM!”
I stopped as soon as I heard Eleanor yelled out my name. She looked at me as I was about to start.
“You're a Miracle….”
“I haven’t even started yet?”
“You were doing it…..unconsciously?”
Tilting my head in confusion as I didn’t understand what was going on, until I felt my heart and lungs beating uncontrollably. Gasping for air I felt like a fish out of water, Eleanor soon came to my side and with a glowing light my breathing slowly began to get better. Then a flick on the forehead I yelled in pain as I looked up to Eleanor, and she was mad.
“She should’ve told me!”
Eleanor was now pacing back and forth as she soon stopped and looked at me.
“Now I understand why she was teaching you the basics of self defense.”
I tilt my head and she explains more.
“Miracles are fragile and…they die quicker than most humans.”
My jaw dropped, I’m the weakest being in this world!
“What-why!
I yelled as I sat there waiting for an explanation about why Miracle's are the weakest being here!
"It's no wonder you talk so old."
"Excuse me."
"What did Cora tell you about Miracle's?"
"We are born when a 'Borealis Nile' appears and that some are dangerous or useless."
Eleanor looks at me dumbfounded and groans at the answer I've given her, and takes a deep breath and stays silent.
"....."
"....."
We both stayed quiet while staring at each other until Eleanor broke the silence by shaking a bag in front of me.
"Let's eat some snacks while we talk."
She gave me half of what was in her bag and it was full of the small fruits Cora gave me, happily I shoved in my mouth and enjoyed the amazing flavor.
“What are these?”
Shaking the bag in front of her.
“Those fruits are called Cherries.”
Cherries, they look like seedless grapes and cherry… I think I found my new favorite fruit.
“How old are you?”
“….”
Putting down the Cherries, I looked at her and smiled.
“22. I was 22 years old when I died.”
“…”
“I’m the second youngest of all my siblings, I had a younger brother who was only 16 at the time but…I think he’s older than me in this world now.”
“….she told you.”
“A little.”
“….”
“Can I ask something?”
“Yes.”
“Are Miracles common or are they really rare?”
“Honestly…”
“They're common, huh.”
“…yes…”
“Thank god.”
“WHAT!? Your relief that you're not special!”
My nose twitched at her insult.
“You think I want to believe that.”
“No…”
I sigh and lay flat on the ground looking at the leaves and sky in this world.
“Can one use more than one ability, Eleanor.”
“Yes.”
“So they use something more than what was given to them from the Treasure Stone Cove.”
“Yes, times are changing and more and more people are developing new powers as time goes on.”
“You speak as if you were also one with more power at your time.”
“W-well, like you said times are changing.”
“…mmm, sure whatever you say.”
The sky looks so much more blue than my old life.
