CHAPTER 13- LAST DAY.
Thalia and Ravi felt bad for taking so many plushies because of their argument so they decided to hand plushies to children.
"We should give them to children who can't afford them," Ravi said.
"Oh? Why so?"
"Because…" Ravi looked down. "They have probably never had any toys given to them. They'll appreciate it… I know what it's like." he picked up one of the plushies. "No offense, but the rich kids can just get themselves the whole factory"
"You're right!" Thalia said. "Let's do exactly that! we can pen a little place and let them choose!"
"You guys can go" I said. "I just want to touch up on my training"
"Okay" Thalia said "if you need anything, don't hesitate to run to me, we won't be far.
"And protect the gem." Ravi said
I watched as they both walked out of the wagon.
Oh I forgot to say Ravi knows about the gem. All because of one accident.
FLASH BACK
"What is this?" Ravi said holding the gem. That day we were in the wagon after the attack. The gem must've landed on the floor when I was moving. I remember being anxious to say anything. I didn't want to spill everything too quickly, especially someone I met 2 days ago.
"Ouch!" Ravi flinched as he dropped the gem. "What the hell? Wait, it kind of reminds me of something."
"Are you… okay?" I hesitated "are you hurt?"
Well Thalia and Kian have never held the gem before, or maybe it only reacts to me? I thought
"Wait a second.." he said, ravaging through his bag, he quickly put on cat eye shaped glasses. "Got it!" he pulled up a book
"I knew it!" Ravi sparked "it's the four gems! I heard only the four people can hold each other's gems, no one else can" he said looking at the gem again "this is so unique, extravagant!" he cheered. "So you're a gem!?" he looked at it again "and you're the first one!"
I gulped "yeah"
"That's so freaking cool! Have you activated it yet!?"
"Well, once, I don't know how to do it again" I replied.
His eyes glowed "something to research! I'll find out why!" he said putting his book away.
PRESENT TIME- THALIA POV
"No one is coming!" I groaned in frustration.
"We've been out for a minute" Ravi said
"More like 5 years." I replied. "Maybe we should put signs? It does look boring, like I can almost see a cricket.
"Hmm, you're right," Ravi said, making a plushie out of vines.
"Daddy the princess is giving out toys!" a little girl with light purple hair and dark purple eyes pointed at the taller man.
"That's nice" the man walked towards them "excuse me? Can I please have the lion plushie? Is it for sale?" the man, who also shared the same purple hair as the little girl but had dark green eyes spoke.
"No, it's for free, actually no need to pay" I replied, before grabbing a lion plushie. "Here you go," I smiled. The little girl eagerly grabbed the toy, before waving it up in the air, as usual this caught the attention of parents who deliberately stopped their children from not getting a toy, many parents and children also asked for many animal plushies, eventually it was all gone.
"Whew, my cheeks hurt from all that smiling," Ravi said, massaging his cheeks.
"Tell me about it" I slumped. "I wonder if Rina is still training, we should go check on her" I said
"Yeah you're right.
NERINA POV-
I trained for a couple of hours, trying to test out many forms of water magic, most ended up in failures, most were successful at the basics and some it worked after trying multiple times.
The first I was surrounded with people, but not close to me that I'd hurt them. I was busy trying to create arrows out of water then I heard an OOF. I quickly turned around to find a girl with dark green eyes and light purple hair caressing her back uncomfortably.
"I'm sorry miss." she apologised.
"No I'm sorry" I held her up. "I didn't see you… are you with anyone right now?"
"My dad" she cheered.
"That's good"
I picked up a lion shaped plushie, it matched perfectly to the ones Thalia and Ravi were handing out
"Nice toy" I spoke
"Thank you, princess gave it to me!" she jumped.
"That's nice… I'm glad"
"Luna!!" a man with similar features screamed.
"It's my daddy" she pointed "thank you miss for helping me! Thank you bye!" her little legs slowly took off, eventually dropping her toy.
It was cute, her dad eventually found her, they looked at me and I think he gave her a little scolding, her face pouted for a bit, before walking away.
"I guess my time is up to" I muttered to myself. "I wonder what Thalia and Ravi are up to"
I packed my things, ready to head back to the wagon.
—--------------------
Just as I was about to enter the wagon I saw Ravi and Thalia also making their way to the wagon.
"Ay! Right on time!" Thalia beamed.
"Hello Nerina, did you have fun?" Ravi said.
"Yeah, I had fun… I met a young girl playing with the plushie you gave out" I replied
"That's amazing! in truth. I'm glad they're having fun" Ravi sighed in relief.
