said, “I haven’t understood a
word of what you’ve just explained. How did you , Evan, realize that they
are connected somehow?”
“This bond has a special visual expression. It can be
seen only by those who have it, and, of course, by people like me - Wizardy.
The bond - it's a magic, a very strong magic. Therefore all those who posses
it, can see things like this. I saw once a friendship binding, but this is
something completely different.”
“ Friendship binding ?” Eileen repeated.
“Yes. I know two magicians, who have such a bond. And
you, Christian, know one of them even better than I do.”
I looked at him blankly through the drivers’ mirror.
“It's your father,” Evan said.
Chapter 14. The power
of water ( Eileen)
All the purchases were left in a far corner of our room.
There was no time for new dresses and shoes.
The four of us were sitting at one of the tables in the
dining room, all silently thinking about our own worries. Evan was first to break
the silence.
“I think the first thing the two of you have to do
tomorrow,” he pointed at Christian and me, “is to talk to someone about your
palm lines. And only then, if you don’t get any explanations, you should go to
Patrick. I don’t think he kept silent about his friendship bond just because he
had nothing else to do. There must be some good reason. As the very existence
of something like this, is not a secret. It is mentioned even in some of
Wizardy’s manuals.”
“I agree with Evan,” Christian said, looking at me. “The
presence of a magical bond can explain a lot, including how you managed to
share you power of fire with me.”
After returning from town, we had to tell Amanda and
Evan about everything, as it was pointless to hide what was already becoming
obvious. Unlike Evan, who, to my surprise, took our news fairly easily, Amanda
was still in shock.
“I think we should all go now to our rooms and take a
rest,” I said. I was tired and my mind refused to accept any more information.
“Tomorrow we will think how to find answers to everything.”
Leaving the dining room, we went to our bedroom, talking
about our plans for tomorrow on the way. In addition, Evan and I were to have
training. This time with the students of Feta.
When we reached the room Christian, not even thinking to
hide our relationship any longer, kissed me on the lips. Evan, to our general
surprise, kissed Amanda on the cheek before leaving. Poor Amanda! Much more
shock reflected in her emerald eyes. Evan hugged me saying goodbye and promised
to do all his best to find answers to our numerous questions. He and Christian
left.
“Do you know what I can’t understand most?” entering the
room, asked Amanda. “Why are you bound to my brother? Actually it was me who suffered so many years of all of your behavior, but in the end we don’t
even have that… what did Evan call this - bond of friendship ? So where
is the justice?!” she exclaimed.
I smiled. Amanda and I had, in reality, a lot more than
any bond - we were best friends.
“Fate must have decided it for us,” I said. “But it gave
you something else instead. We all noticed how Evan was looking at you.”
“I also noticed how he was looking at you and
Christian,” replied my friend sadly. “And at you in particular.”
“Come on, Amanda! Evan looks the same way at every more
or less pretty girl,” I said.
“Well, thank you, dear, now I can relax!” she said with
offense and went to the bathroom.
“Amanda! I didn’t mean that...”
Damn it! Couldn’t I just watch my tongue?
The next morning I woke up because I felt someone's gaze
on me. Opening my eyes, I saw my friend sitting on the edge of my bed.
“I was waiting for you to wake up,” she said.
“What's wrong?” I asked, quickly sitting up in bed.
“Everything’s fine. I just wanted to apologize for the
last night,” hiding guiltily her eyes, she said.
“Amanda, it’s me who
