Discovering me.

Everything is done with love.

I was shocked but very happy. We where finally on the same side. I could see us becoming best friend, duels and talking for hours on end.

The tree let go and it instantly became cold, without its leafs. Which snapped me, out of my daze.

The daze, that I didn’t know I was in. Until I opened my eyes, to see the ladies giggling, as quietly as possible and kiway having a smile on his face.

My face turned red as I said. I am probably the first, to get a hug from the tree. It’s an achievement!

Now everybody started to laugh.

I understood it was a little bit funny. Now it was her turn, to go to the tree, so as I thought about this. I started to grin again.

Which made my sister to stop laughing as she stared, at me and ask with a worried expression, what are you thinking about now?

Well, it is your turn to greet the tree. Okay that’s easy. Hi tree! she said with a bright smile.

That can’t be it! After all my trouble, that is cheating Angie!

Who knows if it can even here you, from where you stand. greeting means acknowledging it, so you have to at least go to it.

She looked at me weirdly, as I dragged her closer to the tree. She let me drag her, probably because she knew that I, wanted her to do more than wave at the tree.

When we where close enough for the tree to touch her . I stopped and said. Now your part of the deal.

She smiled at me before saying. Tree I forgive you! and I will keep my promise to my brother, as long as you treat him like you just did a while ago.

If you want to have me, as your family. You must learn to treat my family right. Which includes all the people I care about.

From the point where she said, she forgives the tree. It started to have a dim light, that became brighter as she spoke.

I stood next to my sister, with my eyes wide open and my mouth wide open.

My brain was blank but my heart full, so full like it was about to burst, type of full.

Then as a bonus, she raised her hand and ran her hand, gently along some leafs. As she did that, the tree emitted a bright light, for a brief moment.

Then there was small, sparks of light floating around it, like they where droplets evaporating from the tree.

It was during the day but the small sparks, shined so bright we could all see them, even kiway. Who claims, that his sight is no longer what it once was.

Like he usually says, when complaining about doing something, that involves small parts being scattered or counted. To get some. Healing mixture just right.

Once she was done talking to the tree, she looked at me smiling and pushed my chin up gently. Saying, close your mouth. Before you swallow up, all the beautiful sparks.

Besides, didn’t you want a sample for something. Or are you only planning to get one, after the sparks get carried away by the wind?

As she reminded me. I ran to the cave, to get a type of container we use for water, spilling the water at the caves entrance.

As I rushed out again to go catch and put in, the container as many sparks from the tree as possible.

Kiway and Angelique watch me as I collected, some sparks. Then Nehu came and joined in.

Sometimes she could be gentle, but it was a very rare sight, because she is a warrior, I think!

By the time we where done, we sat under the tree, with Angie leaning against the tree and on the same cloth, that was supposed to be a table, to the tree.

Enjoying a meal, that nearly got burned by kiway because he was just as astonished. To witness Angelique’s interaction with the tree.

He was able, to better hide his amazed expression. Probably because he was supposed to be, all knowing to a certain extent.

All because he is a seer. Training another, younger or next generation seer.

When he is just as amazed as I am. Then I am reassured, that my sister, is as awesome as I keep claiming.

When it became late, kiway sent us home. Claiming that, we are endangering the magical animals that will attack us.

It was true and funny, cause I was now going home. With the kind of protection a high chief of the south forest, will have as guards.

When we got to our hut, Nehu said goodbye. saying she wants to head home immediately today. We both gave her a hand shake and went inside.

After opening the door, we ran to the kitchen. Mom was in the kitchen cooking as usual.

She turned around and opened her arms, as we ran into her arms like we used to as little kids but now that we where bigger, it was becoming more complicated.

Now we would crash into her and balance her on impact, so that she doesn’t fall backwards.

After the tight embrace she took in a deep breath. then said, I don’t know who smells like kiway’s soup but someone sure does!

Instead of letting go, we started rubbing our hands on her back and legs, while she pretended to be trying to escape.

Following our obvious assumption that if rubbed. We could make her smell like kiway soup.

After a lot of laughter, something started to smell like it was burning and mom said we should go wash our hands and faces for supper.

Which led to us racing to the bathroom, to take the first turn.

I let my sister take the first turn. Actually she beat me to it but I refused to admit it for a change.

Once we returned to the kitchen. We started helping out, with putting different dishes on the table. We blessed the food and started to dig in.

While I narrated the exciting parts of my day, to mom and spoke more than my sister for a change. She just sat there listening, like she wasn’t there! when it all happened.

At some point in the narration of the story of my day. I wondered, if my mother believed a word I said because the owner of the story, was acting weird.

I just promised myself that I would drag Nehu into narration tomorrow.

After I cleared the table I said that I will clean the dishes. So that my sister could go bath first.

She seemed to be exhausted or holding in, some heavy secret that has made her suddenly, mute or lazy to talk for the rest of today I think.

She just gave mom a kiss on the cheek then gave me a hug and went to bath. After she got out of the bathroom. She went straight to her room but mom and I both looked worried.

I finished what I was doing and left mom sitting in the kitchen, still having a worried expression.

I went to bath, changed and went to the kitchen to find Angie wrapped up in mom’s hands quietly sobbing.

I retreated before they could here me and watched from a corner, till she became better and asked to go to bed.

After mom let her go to bed she gestured to me, to come to her.

Meaning I was not that good at hiding. She gave me a long hug and said my sister will be okay. She just misses daddy, some time’s.

Which is normal but when that happens she does not prefer to talk. Only to cry, than tomorrow she will be back to her normal noisy self.

I didn’t say anything just smiled at her. Then she said that I should go to bed, so that she can have her beauty sleep.

I gave her a kiss on the cheek, said good night and went to my room. While on my bed I wondered, how it would have been to have dad around.

None the less, sleep came without warning like always, interrupting my thoughts by taking over.
