Chapter 5 - Something isn't Right

As the final seminar ended, Logan grabbed his bag and headed home, the sky slowly painting itself in shades of gold and crimson. By the time he reached his front door, the sun was sinking below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the neighborhood. He paused for a moment, taking in the beauty of the sunset before stepping inside. After going inside, he noticed something was different, something wasn't right.

"I feel like something is different, the atmosphere isn't right. There is this new energy, and it is giving me a weird feeling. What is this?" Logan confuses. "Or, could this be, the change like in anime when magical energy starts appearing out of nowhere?" Logan gets excited, and the swords that anime characters always create with magic come to his mind. He imagines it so well that it is like he is staring at a 3D hologram. [water noises] A large amount of water appears in front of him and begins to take the form of a big sword he was thinking of. "Really? Is this real?" he tries to touch it. The moment he touches it, it immediately loses its form, dripping and filling the entire entrance with water, soaking the shoe rack and all the shoes inside.

His roommate, Mason Walker, comes running and sees the whole entrance filled with water. "What happened here, Logan?" Logan doesn't pay attention. He is too fascinated with the idea of his dream coming true. "It is possible. Now, it is possible to achieve my dreams" Mason stands there clueless about what he is saying. "All right, come on now, pull yourself together" Logan snaps out of it, extends his hand forward, and smirks looking at Mason. He tries to create a fireball but fails. "Come on don't ruin the pose!" He whispers and tries again, but differently. Deeply imagining a fire spreading to all 360-degree directions from a single point and coming back to that single point. It works, but it didn't dry the shoe rack and entrance. "Hmm…" he mumbles. "Right, Fireballs absorb all the heat to make the explosion stronger when it hits the target. That must be it!" And he tries to make a normal fire. "Wow, it worked. I dried them using magic" he gets proud of himself and smirks again looking at Mason. While Mason is shocked and speechless.

Mason: "What's happening here?"

Logan: "Prepare yourself, Mason!"

Mason: "Prepare? Prepare for what? And what was that just now?"

Logan: "It was magic. Prepare for massive change, the world is changing."

Mason: "Magic, like in movies?"

Logan: "Indeed, seems like God is playing with us."

Afterward, Logan had a really hard time trying to explain what was going on to Mason.
