“There you are!” Adaline Macari cried, glomming onto her friend.
Chero kept walking forward, dragging the tall girl along with her until she finally fell onto her face.
“Adaaa!” Chero whined, trying her hardest to escape.
Adaline was a year younger than Chero, but was a whomping five feet and nine inches in comparison to Chero’s five feet and two and a half inches. She had light ash brown hair that almost looked blonde that sat slightly past her ears. Part of her bangs fell into her right eye, hiding her glass covered fern eyes. She was dressed in a white robe just like the one Chero had been wearing earlier.
“Adaline, can you please stop squishing my cute Chero?” another girl’s voice chimed in.
Adaline reluctantly rolled off and got up. The other girl helped Chero back onto her feet and helped fix her dress. She then licked her thumb and wiped the dirt off her cheek. Chero batted the hand away pouting.
“Reginaaaa! I’m seventeen now, you don’t have to baby me!” she whined.
Regina laughed, “I’m sorry! I can’t help it.”
Regina was only a year older than Chero. She was taller than Adaline by a few inches and had long black hair that cascaded past her waist. Her skin was sepia, as if she was forever stuck in an old piece of film. Her dark eyes were filled with kindness, but tinged with an ageless wisdom. Unlike Chero and Adaline, Regina was dressed in a royal purple robe.
Chero’s eyes fell onto the robe, “YOU DID IT?!”
Regina grinned and nodded, “I did~”
Chero let out a screech of joy and hugged her friend.
“I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU PASSED YOUR MAGE EXAMS!”
Regina laughed and shook her head, “Did you doubt I would?”
“Noooo….But I’m proud all the same!” she grinned, “Are you going to take the
Master’s exam next or be a traveler?”
“I want to be a traveler for a while. My Master thinks I should just go on to take the master’s exam, but I want to travel the world first.”
“Speaking of traveling...” Adaline interrupted, “You snuck out again, didn’t you?”
Chero blushed, “What would give you that idea?!”
“Well...Leonides has been looking for you everywhere and you are missing your training robes,” Adaline explained, her hands on her hips.
“...I may have snuck out…” Chero replied, pushing her forefingers together.
“You do realize that you can get in big trouble for doing that, Cher…”Regina sighed, “You know you’re not allowed to go to Earth without permission from the council, unless accompanied by your Master.”
“I know, but...I really miss Tsukino…”
“The more important question is…”Adaline grinned, “DID YOU BRING ME ANYTHING?!”
Chero shook her head, “Sorry! Not this time. I got a little lost and ended up in Venice.”
“No one saw you, did they?” Regina asked.
“.......”
“WAS IT A BOY? WAS HE CUTE?” Adaline asked, bouncing.
Chero laughed, “He was a boy. I fell into one of the canals and he dried my clothes for me.”
“BUT WAS HE CUTE?”
Chero closed her eyes and thought about Felix, “He was…annoying.”
Her eyebrow twitched in annoyance as she started to head down the hall.

Here's where I stop for now. BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT DIRECTION TO GO IN. Do I stay in Magia and introduce more character and more rules of that world? OR DO I JUST GO TO THE TIME SKIP THAT WILL OCCUR?
