(FULL BOOK AVAILABLE IN AMAZON)Roslin woke up late, nearly noon, and immediately set out to find Loviyan. When she discovered he wasn't home, she took the time to explore the house, thrilled to see it in daylight. The exterior was even more beautiful than she had imagined, but a pang of jealousy struck her—she wished she could have this space all to herself.
Just then, Loviyan arrived with food.
"Hey, you woke up late?" he teased.
"I didn't know! You should have woken me up."
"I'm sorry. I knocked on your door; didn't you hear?"
"It's okay. I feel like sleeping again; everything was so drowsy in my head."
"Okay, can we stay another day?"
"I told my dad three days, so it's your wish."
"Fine, then we'll go out tomorrow evening."
Ihe next day, Roslin slept like she was in a dream, barely able to talk or see. Loviyan asked why she was sleeping so much.
"I don't know! I've slept for a whole day, but I still feel like sleeping."
"Okay, take a rest. When you wake up, we can start going out."
"Thank you so much."
She slept through the evening, and Loviyan woke her up at night. They both went home, and the next day, she apologized for being so sleepy.
"It's fine," he said. "Do you want to go out on the full moon night again?"
"Okay, but just for one day. My dad may get suspicious."
"Got it."
"Sorry I made you bored, really."
"I met my friends, and it was totally fine."
Roslin hugged him, promising she would be awake next time.
"We still have a fortnight," he reminded her.
"Good," she replied with a smile.
They worked for a while, and then Cherry came over.
"Is Harold here?" she asked. Before Roslin could tease her, Cherry added, "He's bunking classes with his friends."
"I'll talk to him," Roslin said, feeling upset. They both returned to work as usual. After their shift, she walked home and complained to Ferlin about Harold.
They sat in the garden, waiting for Harold to arrive.
"Dad, do you know any interesting stories about the stars?"
"As you're a grown-up and Harold isn't here, I'll tell you some real astronomy." She moved her chair closer to him, excitement bubbling within her.
"Look at those three stars you ask about all the time—are they connected?"
"Yeah, but I don't think that anymore."
"Good," he said, glancing around. "They're really important to us."
"Oh."
"They are the Trigalexies."
"What?"
"Every day you see those stars differently on the full moon."
"They're different?"
"Every day we see them are Orion's Belt, but on Wlitch day, Trigalexies pass by our Earth, appearing like stars that cannot be seen."
"How can we see them then?"
Ferlin went inside to bring out binoculars and muttered a spell "Triquense."
A blue aura surrounded the binoculars. Roslin brought them to her eyes, and as she looked up at the stars, she discovered a land. She kept moving the binoculars and saw a few islands.
"Look at that old man walking!" she exclaimed. "He's dressed funny."
Suddenly, the old man looked right at her, making her hesitate. She quickly handed the binoculars back to her dad.
"They saw you, didn't they?"
"You know?" she pouted, annoyed.
"I know."
"How can they see us?"
"They are not normal or powerful ones; they are the most enchanted almighty people as words aren't enough. They are way too different from us the language, the lifestyle."
"What language do they speak?"
"Sanskrit"
"Oh"
"My great-grand father came here to teach wizardry."
"What?"
"Can you stop screaming for every single sentence? His kids came here too."
"You're telling me we're from Dorance and then telling me to shut up? Dad, use some—"
"Language, young lady."
"I want to know everything! But wait, first, why has our continent never been visited by any Muggle?"
"We cursed this continent to be invisible to them, so it can never be seen."
"But I love how Al Cruise brings information from all over the U.S.A. What happens around the world?"
"It's his job. He also shares important stuff that's useful for us."
"What if we ever let Muggles in?"
"They wouldn't be nice. There would be more wars than we have now."
"Dad, I heard people here have been learning magic for two winters ago."
"Yes, because they used to fear magic. All of them were adopted and abandoned by their parents. No one knows what magic is. Otzin Lockwin, the president adopted all of them, wanting to ensure no one else went through that as he was an abandoned child. He owned the whole area and brought peace. Only in the last ten winters have people started visiting other countries and towns to adopt magic. That's when Crawdell started, but people still fear what comes next."
This was the main reason Ferlin had moved to Orckeez Bloom —he didn't want anyone to know why he left.
Just then, Harold came spinning around on his broomstick, with Wod Ridge riding alongside. When he saw Roslin and Ferlin sitting outside, he told Wod Ridge to drop him off at home. Both landed and ran to his room.(FULL BOOK AVAILABLE IN AMAZON)
