~Lilith~
I stared at Yuki for a second, then smiled. “Don’t worry. As everyone here has proved, we can take care of ourselves. And I for one won’t let anything happen to you,” I leaned over and kissed his cheek, a fairy’s version of comforting. He lightly touched his cheek, and I continued to smile. I turned towards the boy that Yuki had brought in, “And what’s your name?”
He looked at me sceptically. “Haru,” he said cautiously, and took a sip of water from his cup.
I nodded. “You’re not of this world,” I told him. I had felt it the moment I had seen him, he was magical, yes, but he was not an Atalian.
He coughed on his drink, and Yuki looked at me confused. “What? I thought he had amnesia.”
I shook my head, “No. I’ve only seen it once before, but it is possible to travel between worlds. A friend of mine, one of the strongest witches I’ve ever known, Sara Avalon,” I smiled at Hanna who seemed a little surprised. “She summoned a man from another world. He had the same presence as Haru.” I turned to Haru, “Though I wonder who brought you here. It would take very powerful magic.”
Haru went to say something, when Micheal spoke up, “When you’ve finished eating, please gather your things, and meet at the front gate.” I nodded, stood up, and made my way to the front gate. I hadn’t brought anything with me, so I didn’t have anything to gather. “Lilith!” Micheal called out. I turned around and he threw a small brown sack at me, “Take this.”
I opened the sack to see it was filled with gold coins. “Thank you,” I smiled.
“What? No hug?” he grinned.
“No hug,” I told him and waited at the gate for the others. We should head north first, so we could awaken Athena. She was the polar opposite of her twin Artemis. While Athena was joyful, kind, and loved to see people happy. Artemis was sadistic, she enjoyed fighting, hate and pain. Yet both of them would do anything for the other. So by getting Athena on our side, we wouldn’t have to worry about Artemis betraying us.
