At times, you can feel it's breeze and it's gentle caress but most of the times, it will just flow through you and from you. You don't control magic, magic controls you. It is fleeting, boundless and powerful yet puny. You can only pray that your resource does not deplete at any time. " "I don't understand sir, what do you mean by resource?

And now, she has strolled from street to street, across streets and into suburbs and now back at her own street. And absentmindedly strolling to her place when she heard a call, no, more like a cry!

How foolish was he to think, nay, to believe that whatever it called, magic or not, will effectively save him from the menacing growls of a hunger-struck Lion.

Rose stated which was more like asking, quivering and holding up on her own drenched in the rain."Yes, of course, I have to come after you," a little bit of unease in which Rose found time to turn her back to him, prepping to jump down from the precipice of the roof and into the night sky or so it seemed."You didn't need to run away. Especially like that." he walked up to her, coming close enough to swing his arm around her, only to be ward off by an invisible barrier, something is wrong with Rose."What's up with you dear? you seem to be blowing off heat.
