Cap 12

-Do you think I can go to see my family today? - I ask Taeyong who is drinking tea while looking out the window, his knees are bent at his chest height and his head is resting on his knees

-I think it's okay ... you want me to go with you? - I think it would be dangerous to go out, what if something happens? I don't want to put him in danger which is ridiculous because he is so strong

-I think it's better if I go alone- I see in his eyes that he doesn’t like the idea, I feel so sorry for him but I need to do thing on my own

-Don't worry I'll go back every day- I feel like he's listening but he just looks out the window

-we see you soon taeyong- I want to hug him but my feet begin to walk in the direction of the door, when I leave the house I feel that air is heavy and colder, I think it's because I'm not inside the shield that taeyong did.

taeyong

-We need to know who attacked us and after who they were- I say entering the basement where my mother keeps all her magic thing that’s how I call it, it is practically her place and although she is a witch is not full of spiders or dust, it is a nice place

-I think the same, what do you want to do? - she asks me but I know she knows me very well and that she knows the answer since I entered her room

-I need you to give me back my magic- I put my hands behind my back to hide that I'm shaking, this whole thing scares me

-are you sure about that? All my  spells would be useless in you- she is very calm, even though she knows all that this implies -no matter, no human can see me if I do not allow it, besides I can’t continue with so little power-

-even with so little you are stronger than many creatures, with all your power, all the magic world will know that you have returned- her words come to my head but I refuse to think more, it is what has to be done, a long time has passed since I left and maybe it's time to go back - we have to do it - I tell her and she agrees

-We must go to another place and I have to make a shield and you should help me with that, although it probably doesn’t help at all- Kim laughs -then we go to the caverns in the last sea- she says and I nod, it's a distant place although Once Kim returns my magic to me I will have little time to return

-I believe you can create portals- I tell her and she proudly opens one towards our destiny.

Kim begins to draw some old letters from his homeland on the floor in a circle, for a human would look like Egyptian letters but they have many differences, I stand in the center of the circle

-Now, with your magic you must activate the seal, I will do it at the same time- she explains to me

-it will work? it's a witch shield - I ask her a little doubtful

-It will work!! I made some changes- she smiled at me  and start to activate the seal that she wrote on the floor, the caverns are totally dark, the waves hit against the cliffs is very loud, I can almost feel the salt of the sea in my eyes, a wall of magic begins to rise in front of me, when it is almost 6 meters kim and I do the same, she is standing in front of me but behind the barrier, her hair that is so long that almost can touch the sand is stirred a little by the wind

-It's going to hurt a little- it's a lie that she says she's worried about me

-I know, I'll bear it- probably after this I see myself worse than yuta

She smiles at me but I can see that her smile is more like an apology, she lowers her head to not look at me and begins to recite a spell, the language of the witches sounds romantic is almost like Italian

I feel my hands burn and when I look at them there are cracks, they begin to appear all over my body as if it were an old and dry tree, it hurts, but until now it seems bearable

- Are you ready? - Her voice is shaky, she is afraid, I know.

-I am- I'm trying to sound ok and brave

a yellow aura appears inside the barrier and extends I feel like burning every part of my skin is on fire I can feel it, I want to scream but I don’t want Kim to worry I don’t want her to see how bad it is although she already knows it, I close my eyes and feel the fire going through every part of my body is not such a strange sensation for me but I didn’t remember it that way, the more time passes, the more it hurts. I want to be strong for Kim but I feel as if my body were turning into ash, the waves that are heard so loud as they hit the shore are appeased by my screams I fall on my knees to the floor and I can’t help but cry out of pain but I don’t ask Kim to stop

I no longer feel the cold and no longer hear the waves, I don’t  know how much longer I have to wait but it is unbearable, I hear as if a glass was broken, it is the shield, it can’t support so much strength and if it breaks and the fire reaches to Kim she could ...

I can’t lose her, the shield starts to collapse from above, Kim is still standing in front of me, her posture is determined, she is not going to leave me. After 10 minutes I can see that Kim tries to take steps backwards so that the flames do not reach her

-You have to go-I scream at her

-Don't be silly, I will not leave you- she smiles at me, is the same smile that Jeahyun gave me before dying, why do people do that? why they smile as if everything is fine when clearly it is not, I start to remember how my father taught me to use my magic, I used to think that the fire only finished everything yes it does but my father taught me that he can also protect those who I love the most, it is my magic, it is my power, it just obeys me. I feel that it does not burn so much anymore, I look at my hands and the earth around me, there are no flames but I can see my marks the shield is no longer there

-mama!? – I scream, I’m scared I can’t loose anyone anymore

-good work- she says crossing a cloud of dust

-I thought I had ...- I throw on her arms to hug her -that was a great control of magic, you really are a great prince- she gives me a kiss on the head -Is there something that hurts? - she asks me moving away to examine me from head to toe

-It hurts my head a little, and I feel my body really heavy- I tell her unconscious of how horrible I must see

-We must leave now before someone comes- she makes a door to home again, when we arrive, Yuta is sitting in the kitchen, he looks much better, his cheeks are more pink

-yuta- his name comes out of my mouth without any permission, he turns to see me and his eyes get bigger he takes a step towards me but stops

-What ... what happened? - says with curiosity and astonishment

-taeyong wanted his power back so we were dealing with that- my mom tells Yuta and he is still frozen in the same position

-can you take him to his room? I need to rest and I'm going to prepare something for the pain- my mom smiles at Yuta and he walks towards me and puts one of his hands on my waist and my other hand goes over his shoulder, he doesn’t say anything

-you see different- he says finally when he puts me in bed

-I know, like garbage probably- I answer

-your eyes changed again- he says without stopping looking at me -whenever this happens you just comment on my eyes- I tell him in the form of a joke

-They are amazing- he says, and he runs his fingers through my hand touching my marks -your hair is more brown- he exclaims

I know how terrible I must see but he just makes those kind of comments, he is just too good

yuta

-Why did you do that? - I ask looking at him feeling like he would disappear if I touch him, his arms are so thin and his skin wrinkled, there are black marks that run through his body, I don’t  know what they are but I also had them I did not see myself as bad as he

-I had to do it- is all he says, I'm watching him and although I know it looks really bad there is something on him that still feels very captivating other than ihis golden eyes

-Today I went to see Taeil- I say trying to change the subject -he was with a friend of his, Jhonny, very nice- he just smiles at me

-taeil asked about you, he says that you were his best worker, that you were as bright as the sun- when I finish the sentence he looks at me, his big eyes penetrate mine, what happens to him? - Did you find something strange in Taeil today? or in his friend jhonny? - He asks me touching my hand, seems worried

-Not ... it was the same as always, what happens taeyong? -

-yuta, I need to see him- he tries to get out of bed but his legs just do not work -I’ll go for some water wait a second- I leave his room a few seconds, when I return he is still sitting there waiting for me

-very good, I think this time should be easier- I say trying to smile

-yuta ... you must reverse the magic you should be the one who shows me I can’t go inside your mind- he lies on the bed and I kneel by his side, I don’t understand very well how I'm going to do that but Kim explained me that magic works like a car, you just have to direct it, I put my hands with water on his forehead and try to concentrate on what I want to do, now it's easier to feel how magic flows

Taeyong and I are standing in the cafe where Taeil works and I see his friend Jhonny - he is Jhonny - I say to Taeyong, he walks towards him - there is something strange about him, I can´t tell what it is - Taeyong walks through the store , it seems that he is looking for something but I don’t know what it is

-They are fairies yuta- he tells me -they are fairies- he repeats it again

I approach taeil and jhonny they are talking about something in secret

-the arrow did not work, I know it was not taeyong who I shot- Taeil says to jhonny with a worried face

-The next time he is not going to have any luck, we'll take him to the kingdom with us- jhonny smiles at Taeil and touches his cheek

I stay there without speaking, Taeyong seems confused, at that moment I enter the store and the memory disappears

-the arrow was for me- Taeyong says sitting on the bed, I look at him, he is panicking, his hands tremble, the words come out with difficulty from his mouth

-be calm please, It was nothing serious what happened- I think I don´t even know what I'm saying

-You do not understand! - he raises his voice -you must get away from me, this is very bad ...- he puts his hands to his head and pulls his hair -they almost kill you because of me, you must leave, go away, forget about that you knew me-

I know he is not saying it seriously, he can’t be doing this, he needs me as I need him, we are both fools and we never say anything but I know, when he looks at me, I know he wants me to stay by his side , sometimes I just want to shout at him to stop saying so many nonsense

-just calm down, would you? you are saying nonsense, it's too late, it's too late to go maybe I'm not very obvious, but when I see you my legs tremble, being by your side takes my breath away, my heart speeds up every time you look at me and when you look at me I do not need anything else, do you understand? I do not want to leave and you can’t do anything to force me- I'm out of breath after everything that  just come out of my mouth, Taeyong doesn’t know what to say, I'm still kneeling in his bed looking at him, I'm angry but relieved to have told him all these things, when I want to stand up he gets up a little and he takes me from the neck of my jacket getting me close to his face, when I'm 1 centimeter from touching his lips he stops and sighs, I know he thinks it will hurt, and presses his lips against mine, he is cold which is unusual in him, he feels so fragile, I can almost feel his heart beating, he is kissing me so desperately that he can’t stand it, I put my hand gently on his cheek, he reacts with a small I jump without separating from me, he runs his tongue down my lower lip,like tasting me after a few seconds he separates from me to breath some air, his chest rises and falls with speed, he presses his forehead against mine and his eyes almost illuminate my face

-I don't  want you to leave- he says with fear in his voice.
