Magic and Love

“Did you hear about the sailing boat that was sent to Kanala from the Bermuda Triangle a couple of hours ago, Siela?”
“No, I haven’t. I was looking for pink coral to make a potion with. Why? It’s not the first time a ship is sent there, Galene.”
“I know, but this is the first time that I hear about a boat full of handsome Landers (earthlings) between the ages of seventeen and twenty-one. They are probably from a sailing school or something.”
“Your fascination towards Lander boys is disturbing, Galene.”
“Disturbing? Let me tell you my idea of disturbing, Siela.
A talented, beautiful eighteen-year-old girl with a crush on a twenty-year old Empyrean boy who is in love with someone else; that’s ‘disturbing’, my friend.”
“Okay, okay, you don’t have to be mean about it, Galene!”
My Nereid friend gave me a hug as a sign of being sorry.
Her words hurt me because she was right. ‘Lussan’ has been my crush since I was twelve years old.
“It’s okay, Galene. I know you are right. To show you how much your friendship means to me, I am taking you to Kanala.”
