Gia:this way come on let’s get this over with
Ian: i know the way you don’t have to keep telling me where to go
Gia: okay we get it you know everything just bare with me a bit
Ian: sorry just get what you want and let us be on our way
Gia: okay just wait for me in the living room I’ll be back in 10 minutes
Gia's POV
-He’s not what I expected but we’ll have to work it out he seems like a nice guy and he absolutely knows lots of stuff but why is he so closed off like that not like he’s been watching me for years he probably knows everything about me now i need to know what exactly he knows if I’m going with him i need to be alert still he’s a stranger and my parents i have no clue when I’ll come home I’ll leave a note saying I’ll be at Hal's house for the night and I’ll go to school from there tomorrow but I’ll have to figure out something by tomorrow’s afternoon and come back home I’ll give Hal a call so she knows that I’m not home if they ask okay enough overthinking now i need my backpack a flash light not that we’re going camping but for safety reasons some pepper spray cuz you never know who you’ll meet actually I don’t even have a clue what should i take I don’t know where I’m going why did i trust a stranger and got him into my house-
Ian from down stairs: What’s taking you so long we need to keep going if your parents get here and saw me standing in the middle of the house like that I’ll have a problem
I’m coming just give me two minutes
- I’ll change into some more comfy clothes take some essentials for the night and get to him his patients is none existence is that even a word okay never mind-
Gia going down the stairs: I’m ready let’s go
Ian: took you long enough
Gia: don’t be too annoying and let’s get going
Ian: okay from here you’ll guide us you felt the energy so you’re the one who should be able to find it
Gia: i told you it’s near the park how am i supposed to feel the energy all the time it was a one time thing
Ian: have i mentioned that I’m here to train you
Gia: you didn’t just took that part out of our conversation on purpose please tell me that
Ian: do you take me for a deceptive person
Gia: maybe i still don’t know
Ian: your trust is hard to earn i get that bit I’ll try my best to make you feel that you can trust and count on me
Gia: we’ll see how that goes back to the training part please
Ian: i love to read and I’ve always been fascinated by the way your power works and what it can do i never got to the end of your power or the limit of it but I know enough to make you comfortable with dealing with it until we go to someone with more knowledge in our kingdom here’s the deal or well the part you need to know now once you master it I’ll tell you the next step your powers makes you feel every type of energy around you the more you practice the more you can spot from a distance and it’s not just for a minute or a second you feel it all the time you just have to concentrate to allow yourself to locate the energy you like
Gia: concentrating is hard you know
Ian: i know but you’re a natural you did locate something on your first try now do it again more precisely and lead us
Gia: i do feel it but it’s much weaker that before why’s that
Ian:portals open for a limited time it must be closing we have to get there as soon as we can
Gia: come on follow me
Ian: are you sure it’s around that tree we’ve been standing for a while now and we’ve got nothing
Gia: I’m not sure Ian I’m confused I don’t know what to do
Ian: you’ve got it take all the time you need even if we don’t find this one we’ll try to locate another they seem they’ve gotten pretty common around here
Gia: thank you I really appreciate the support I’ll try one more time maybe it works
Ian: go ahead I’m rooting for you
Gia: here we go voila
Ian: you didn’t just make that appear
Gia: i just did it it’s simple you have to make your intentions clear to make the portal visible to you it you just have to figure out how to communicate with it’s energy to make yours and the portal’s in harmony
Ian: you just figured that on your own
Gia: i had a little help
Ian: what kind of help
Gia: I don’t know exactly but i just felt that i can communicate with the other world and it just happened then i lined your energy with mine so you can pass through as well
Ian: that’s really incredible
Gia: it’s not a big deal can we see what can we do now
Ian: you’re the one who just made the portal appear so lead the way
Gia: I’m still amazed at how i did it but any way come on we should hurry up I can’t keep our energy like this for a long time
Ian:okay here we go
Gia: where are we this is a strange feeling it’s like I’m walking on jelly it’s not steady at all and all those clouds and colors it’s magnificent
Ian: i travelled through some but this one is different the land missing the core really affected everything what we’re walking at is one of the bridges that connects the two words
Gia: i see some light i guess that’s our exit
Ian: it’s let’s hurry up being in those bridges for a long time isn’t ideal for me
Gia: so Ian the greatest is afraid of heights
Ian: I’m not it’s just not steady I’m looking after you what if you fall I can’t imagine how terrible that will be
Gia giggles
Ian: don’t laugh
Gia: you’re sweating you clearly don’t like being here I’ll stop messing around let’s hurry up
Ian: Thank god
Gia: come on or I’ll change my mind
Ian: coming that’s my maximum speed on those things
Gia: you seem pretty tough but you have another side I’ll try to bring it up from time to time
Ian: this is not the time for analyzing me
Gia: almost there come take my hand there’s nothing wrong with being afraid it’s part of who we are we just need to find a way to handle that fear or sneak past it if you’re smart enough and the situation allows it
Ian: you’re wise for your age you know that
Gia: that i know we’re here
Ian:welco..
Gia said interrupting Ian: that palace i saw it the exact same thing and you like how
Ian: that would be my doing
Gia: it’s real you weren’t joking around
Ian: told you
Gia: god this is so beautiful and beyond imagination you have electricity
Ian: did you picture that we don’t we have internet as well actually
Gia: please tell me you have cell phones i need to make some calls
Ian: you already called Hal don’t worry we’ll be at your house by tomorrow’s evening ill make sure you’re home safe by then besides time flows differently here one they won’t even know you’re gone if you disappeared here for a week
Gia: thats new information but great to know please do tell when you have such important ones that will spare me some overthinking
Ian: I’ll do okay don’t get mad on me now
Gia: i wont because we’ve got a more important thing to do where’s the knowledge ambassador you mentioned we need more info on what i saw and what i can actually do
Ian: he won’t be of any help on what you can do but he might guide us to where we can find answers on what you saw
Gia: so what’re we waiting for
Ian: actually there’s something else i need to tell you
Gia: i need to meet the whole council please not now
Ian: unfortunately we do need to they’ll be of great help they’re not all so bad and Kai will be there
Gia: kai ?
Ian: the knowledge ambassador i talked to you about he’s one of them
Gia: you’re on a first name basis with him then
Ian: he’s older but not by much it’s his power he’s incredible at researching and he can handle all the info well he knows a lot about everyone and everything you’ll know more once you meet him
Gia: to where now
Ian: the throne room all the important meetings are held there
Gate guard talking to Ian looking at Gia: Sir is that really her
Ian: Yes Edward our princess is finally home
Gate guard calling the rest of the guards: she’s finally here welcome home princess
The rest of the guards in one voice: welcome home your highness
Gia: thank you Edward and the rest of you can’t wait to know all of you thank you for the warm welcome
Gia to Ian: all of them know i was coming who else knows
Ian: the whole kingdom is waiting your arrival there’s just one thing left for me to say and I’ve been waiting so long to tell you
Gia: what’s it
Ian said smiling warmly while talking her hands guiding her into the palace's main hall welcome home princess…get ready because there’s some hard people up there but don’t worry you’ll charm them
Gia: thank you Ian really thanks i hope i do and i hope I’m ready because this sounds hard it feels like lots of people are counting on me I can’t let them down
Ian: you won’t princess i assure you you won’t just trust yourself and the road destiny will chose to test you you’ll get there at the end we’ll get there together
Gia: I’m glad you’re here i really am

Gia to Ian whispering : that can’t be so good for a first meeting
Ian to Gia matching her tone: we’ll have to do some damage control
