An… exhilarating midnight… Writing:

The door bent open, out came Edward and jenecis.

Their bodies were adorned by black coats, Long sleeves extend out on each of their arms and only presented the hue of their hands and nails, the collar of their coats were slightly bent upward, covering each of their necks a little, the small buttons that stitched the coats together were really the only other difference up in their color schemes of what they wore, and even then, The silver didn’t stand out enough to catch any eyes.

The long black pants completely shadowed their legs, had they clung to a wall they would be nearly invisible, the only possible way of seeing them would most likely be through the glint of the shoes they wore, the clogs were matching colors with they’re pants and shirt but the slight sheen on the leather could be spotted under the dim moonlight. Other than that, they were relatively shadowed over.

Jenecis used her hand to motion Edward to follow, they both began walking through the cobblestone streets of the city, Looking at the closed down stores and places all around.

The town looked different compared to daytime, a blue hue coated everything, shadows from the buildings shut off any light trying to peer into corners and alleyways, it was somewhat comforting but also terrifying, the air was still and nothing made a noise, well, Except for the local tavern, Bright orange lights shined out of the windows in the establishment and loud jeers and chants could be heard.

They continued walking through the roads of the town, each step they made left a clacking noise through the still streets.

Jenecis pointed at one dark alleyway,

“Yo! Check it out, that’s where I arrested you”

Edward looked at the shadowed corner that she aimed at.

“Yeah yeah, very funny, I nearly wetted myself the first time I saw you in that freaky armor.” He replied.

Jenecis chuckled, “Man, that almost feels like yesterday to me already, Oh wait…”

Edward rolled his eyes, “har har, It’s so funny I’m not laughing”

They both let out a small chortle and continued along their way.

“So anyway… You said you wanted to show me around right? Like some special places and all?” Edward asked.

Jenecis looked at him, “yep, a sorta personal guide to the best places around here, and some interesting personal spots”

She looked around, thinking about where to go first.

“Well, It’ll probably be more like a tour guide since we’re not going to be entering any place, but allow me to guide ya along, since you’ll be staying here soon enough”

Edward looked up at her again, “Well uh, Is there any sort of magic place around here? I’ve always seen magic being used by better-off individuals but I never got a grasp on it.”

Jenecis nodded, “Definitely, here, let’s do a run over to the other side of the town, the magic shops are usually way far from here.”

Edward got into the swing of things, picking up his walking pace to a jog and then into a sprint, both began jogging and sprinting at different intervals to the farther side of town.

*Tok Tok Tok*

“Here we are!” Said jenecis, pointing at the grand-looking shop that was beautifully decorated with colored glass.

Edward panted heavily behind her, heaving his chest from such a vigorous run.

“Woah, That looks amazing!” He said.

A sign poked out from the front of the stores walls reading:

“Biyat’s malignant wonders”

Edward raised his brow, “Fancy names huh? it sounds like how it looks”

Jenecis nodded, “Pssh, yeah, magic is always flashy but trust me, it’s so worth it.”

Both of their eyes fixed onto the strange object near the door of the closed shop.

“What is that?” Asked Edward, curios to the oddly colored post sticking out of the floor.

It was no sign, nor a fence, it looked somewhat similar to the tablet jenecis made before but instead, it was physically crystalline, Like a shining stone.

“Ah, That’s just another way to leave a message for the owners, You can leave a review for others to play on that thing to make the shop look great if you had a splendid time with their service, or you could demand an order.” She answered.

Edward looked back at her, “Say, you conjured up quite a few enigmas earlier, did you learn those from that’s shop?” He questioned.

Jenecis shook her head, “Well… kinda, I mean like, the way you obtain spells and stuff varies on person but for my sake I learned a bit from biyat and then transferred that knowledge into my own understanding, ya know?”

Edward paused for a moment, “that’s… unclear… so like, can anyone do spells and stuff? Or is it for a select few?”

Jenecis shrugged a little, “Oh no, anyone can do it, it’s just some aren’t too keen on growing their understanding of it, like say for me, I wanted to be able to craft and conjure stuff out of thin air, so i was able to take a focus on that EXACT thing and now look at me! I have infinite storage!” She proudly said, showing off her magic once more by summoning a teeny portal and taking items in and out of it as example.

Edward nodded in understanding and a bit of interest, “That’s really neat, So basically, if you want it you’ll receive it?” He questioned, still a bit unsure to her words.

Jenecis put away her magic portal, “Tell you what, This’ll be a long talk but if you’re willing to learn I’ll be more than happy to show you some more, extreme examples.”

Edward nodded excitedly, “Oh yes! Talk away and do show! I’d really appreciate it.”

Jenecis smirked, “Alright then, First off. We need an open area, somewhere away from the town, dont wanna hurt anything, ya know”

Edward pointed out to the road leading to the gate and into the grasslands.

“Wanna take a trip outside the gates? I’m pretty sure the fields will be enough space to show off your incantations” he said.

Jenecis pointed her fingers like guns at Edward, “Precisely, I’ve already got a spot in mind, it’s more of a relaxing space but it’ll also serve well as a sporting ground for our endeavors.”

And with that being said, they both calmly took a walk through the streets to the gate.

The big gates were swung open, the heavy wood and metal accompanied by big wall torches and sconces, two guards stood at the outer side of the gate, torches clutched in their hands as they leaned against the stone wall.

“Shit, I was hoping they would be on break” said jenecis, ever closer to the gate with Edward.

She looked back at him, “It’s probably not a good idea to let your face get seen.” she spoke, thinking of what she could do with him.

“Pssst, Edward, cling to my side and let me wrap my arm around your head, it’ll cover your face up.” She said, now whispering to him because of how close they were getting.

Edward thought on it,

“Ahhhh, a hug from my friend! My magnificent friend at that… Alright, keep it cool Edward. Don’t make it weird, jenecis is a goofball anyway, she’ll probably not even think about this in anyway odd”

He nodded, “Gotcha, Here I come!”

He latched onto her side, wrapping his arms around her waist and back, his height matched his head with her bosoms side, he could feel the cloth from the coat rubbing against his face, it felt nice, She was warm to the touch.

“Ummph!”

Edward’s face was coiled around by Jenecis’s meaty arm, Her bicep blocked his eyes side view, he could only see forward through his right eye, the other side of his face was buried up against her side.

“You good Edward? I’m not gripping too hard am I?” She asked, looking down at him in her side, slightly relaxing her grip so he could move his head.

He shifted his face upward to stare at her, he pulled his mouth out from the cloth that was muffling his voice.

“Y-yup! I think this’ll work out for covering my face alright” he jested.

Jenecis gently tightened her arm around his head again,

“Good, If by chance you need to change positions just tell me and I’ll ease up, Okay?”

He raised his one hand that wrapped around her waist, giving a small thumbs up,

“All set to go, Disguise on!” He chuckled.

“Hehe yeah, disguise activated” snickered jenecis, Now wrapping her bicep tighter around his head and securing him up against her armpit side.

The two approached the gates, Edward kept quiet and so did jenecis, hoping that the guards wouldn’t get suspicious of the two’s looks.

As they walked by the two guards they finally reached the outer rim of the town, stepping foot into the grasslands that were covered with trees and rocks.

“Yes! We made it through! And not a single word from anyone!” Thought jenecis.

She lessened her grip on Edward’s face as they continued into the deeper part of the grasslands, still keeping him covered a little but getting ready to release him. They were now leaving the bright lights reach of the torches at the gate.

Edward wiggled his face a little to free his maw upward again, now looking up at jenecis from her side. He gently whispered “We’re out!”

“Hold it right there you two”

Jenecis froze up, Suddenly pressing Edward even deeper than before into her side without warning.

“It’s dark in here” thought Edward to himself in this quick moment, his entire face mushed into the black fabric of her coat, taking away his sense of sight.

The voice spoke again, now in unison with another following voice, “We know that gray tail anywhere, that’s jenecis Renauld!”

Jenecis’s eyes widened, “Damnit! I didn’t tuck it in!” She thought.

She slowly turned around, still smashing Edward’s face into the pit of her shirt, blocking his face from viewing sight.

“Ayyy, What’s up boss? Whatcha doing up so late for?” Asked the two gate guards, curios to her schemes.

“Oh well, I felt like taking a little escapade at night to a couple neat spots, ya know, sights to see, cool night sky and all” she said sloppily.

One of the guards mouth opened slightly, they now cusped their own chin and stroked it in confusion.

“Who’s the little guy? I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a small guy with red hair like that around here”

Jenecis kept her firm vice on Edward’s entire face.

“Oh yeah! This fella? This is my buddy… Maroon” she stuttered off, unable to keep her act up.

The guard nodded.

“Maroon huh? What’s up with them? It doesn’t even look like he’s moving”

Jenecis patted Edward’s head reassuringly, “I Know right? Deader than a door nail is what he is, Little guy had a night in the town and got super wasted, I told him I could drink him under the table but he insisted on getting beat by me haha”

“I hope you can sense me mentally rolling my eyes and scoffing at you Jen” thought Edward, cringing at her horrible attempt to narrate.

The two guards chuckled, “That’s our boss for ya, haha”

After their chuckle they turned their attention back to jenecis.

“Well anyway, Where are you gonna take him? Doesn’t he live here?”

Jenecis shook her head dismissively, “Oh no no! He lives a bit of ways from here, I’m gonna return him back home for the night, maybe visit him in the morning to see if he survives through his sleep.”

She continued her persuasion on the two guards without pause.

“He was thinking on moving in here this month actually… That’s why we spent the night seeing all this town had to offer, I’ve been trying to get him to move here for a while, I’m sure our little drinking game tonight will be the final straw in finally getting him to move in, yeah?” She finished, finally.

The two guards snorted, “Hah, yeah. Alright then, you two be on your merry way then, tell maroon we said hi when he wakes up”

Jenecis grinned and nodded, “Haha yeah, Later folks”

She quickly turned back around and waddled away with Edward still in her clutch, after about a dozen and a half more steps, Jenecis released Edward’s face, knowing they were now far enough to drop the act.

“Puh!” Edward gasped, having his face freed from her grip, the cool air splashing against his heated Head. Now smoothing his facial fur tufts down with his knuckle.

They continued to walk forward as they talked.

“Oh come on, it wasn’t that bad” said jenecis, reasoning with him over her grip.

“What? The fact that you drank MaROoN under the table, or the fact that you smell like sweat” he sassily remarked.

“What?! I smell!?” She exclaimed, shocked by his insult.

“And your story STINKS” He said, escalating his voice stupidly, laughter spilling out of his mouth.

Jenecis animatedly dramatized her distraught over his words,

“Oh! Woe is me! The stinky lizard who is garbage at telling stories! Oh whatever will I do!” She sarcastically replied, grinning slightly at his sassy remark.

“Tsk tsk, You didn’t even think about cleaning yourself up after all that exercise, That really tells me something about your hygiene jen” he said, hiding his smirk away from her.

“Shuuuut up, i got distracted, I always make sure I’m clean as fuck no matter what” she replied, still playing on his laughter.

“Don’t worry jenecis I know what distracted you earlier, it was that awesome story you just used, it must’ve took a lot of brain power to tell such a creative tale…”

Jenecis choked upon hearing his words, “Your so sharp tongued today, Big words for a little man, eh?”

Edward’s eyes narrowed, “Little man? Oh yeah? Well-“

She interrupted him “Hey wait a minute Weren’t you on the streets all your life, And your calling ME musky?”

He squinted at her, still walking along but not making a peep.

“Hypocrite” she muttered under her breath, with a sly smile.

“Stinker” He said, pointing at her.

“Hypocritical Small man” she said, using her finger to poke him as she taunted him.

“Olid big lady lizard” he responded, now jousting his finger at her, The two jabbing each other with their words and pointer fingers.

The two consistently jabbed and insulted playfully as they made their way to the spot, after numerous slangs, pokes, and giggles, they finally reached a big tree near a lake.

“Alright then we’re here!” Exclaimed jenecis, Presenting the place out with her hands.

Edward looked around, admiring the sheen of the night against the multicolored water and tree.

The sky was a mixed hue of colors, Purple, blue, orange, yellow. These colors bounced off the lakes reflecting surface, even the water was a bright mixture of sorts.

The stars in the sky looked like glitter, large quantities of speckles were like freckles amongst the shifting clouds, even the stars colors were mixed.

The large tree that stood below the sky and next to the pond was a dark shade of blue, its leaves a lighter color than the trunk,everything was… different at this spot, it seemed as though the two stepped through another world the moment they entered further into the grass fields, far off the main road.

“This is amazing…” said Edward in awe, Still spinning around to take in everything.

“I know right? This was a good night to go out eh?” Said jenecis, Noticing his excitement.

Edward smiled brightly, “Absolutely”

Jenecis smirked at his delight of the view, She then motioned her hand for him to follow her.

Jenecis parked herself on the floor next to the tree and pond, her back resting on the trunk of the tree as she kicked her legs out to the lake, Edward did the same, resting next to jenecis in a smiliar position.

“So this is the place you wanted to practice at right?” Asked Edward, sitting up a little and facing her.

“Oh yeah! You’re right!” She said, standing back up quickly from her relaxed position on the tree.

She dusted her clothes off from the grass and stretched a little,

“Now that I think of it, You wanted to learn how to do magic right?”

Edward nodded, standing up and brushing himself off,

“Correct! I mean… if it’s even possible for me to do so”

Jenecis nodded, “Of course it is, You just have to get an understanding of it a small bit to use it, and that’s what I’m exactly going to show you” she said.

Edward replied excitedly, “Oooh! I’m so ready!”

Jenecis gave a toothy grin, “Let’s get down to the basics then, shall we? First, what would you like to do?”

Edward looked up and down, contemplating on what he wished for mostly.

“What do I want? Well, A good life I guess… like, something that allows me to be happy. Somewhat like uh, a reason to keep living? I dunno, I’ve just been moving forward constantly all my life and have been scrapping by just to exist, Like, I never wanted to eat rats, nor did I ever want to lay outside in the cold, neither did I want to be alone all this time with no one to take care of me.” He thought, reminiscing on all that had occurred.

“But, Despite all of this, now I’m on the road to being better! If things keep going good I’ll be able to live happily in this town! With my own house! My own food! My… Friend jenecis! Life is changing for once!.

If all goes according to plan… What I really want is… For this type of blessing to keep up! Oh the times I could spend with others once I’m living better, I could hang out with jenecis, have fun, eat together, play together, An actual bonding activity! It would just be her and me, Being happy through each others company.” He thought to himself.

“You good there Edward? You’re kinda being quiet” she asked.

Edward looked up at her from his original state, “I know what I want”

“Oh do tell” she urged him on.

Edward confidently nodded his head, “I want joyful times ahead of me and for this type of peace to maintain itself.”

“Oh? Peace and happiness eh? That’s really wholesome” she said, Her eyelids going higher from surprise.

Jenecis put her hands on her hips and affirmed his choice, “Well then, it looks like you would specialize in healing magic and other spells that bolster you OR another’s soul.

Edward tilted his head, “I’d have the ability to heal folk? Like, quickly sealing a wound with a touch?”

Jenecis gave a thumbs up, “yup, Oh! And you could also boost yourself or another’s natural instincts, like say you wanted to be quicker, Then you would think on that exact topic, focus your magic and daydream about what it would be like to be really fast, ya know, Picture yourself running and seeing the tree’s as a blur, the stones kicking up and yourself bouncing off them with ease, just like that.”

Edward raised his hands up in delight, “That sounds awesome! Though, How do I focus my so called.. mana?”

Jenecis put her finger to her chin, “Well, it’s all about belief, So, let me show you this. She said, moving towards the waters edge and standing near it.

She looked in the water, the starry sky and its bright colors stared back at her intensely.

She pointed at Edward and back to the water,

“Watch closely, I’m going to quickly bolt over this water and make it to the other end, It’s not deep water but i would sink to my shoulders if I went in” she said, dipping her shoe by the tip into the water, causing ripples to sound off the surface.

She readied herself up and looked at the end of the water and her starting position, imagining what it would be like to run across without falling in, only scrapping the surface.

Edward watched intently, seeing how she focused up and got into an athletic running startup position.

Jenecis dug her right foot into the floor, then- without hesitation-

The dirt kicked up from where she stood, blades of grass shredded and launched behind where she once stood, Her body became that of a blur as it sped across the top of the water.

Wet slaps echoed into the still night as the water gently rippled along her run path, in the next 5 seconds, she was already at the other side of the large lake.

A voice echoed across the lake from where she ran,

“Eeeedwaaaard! You see that?” Yelled jenecis, waving her hands.

Edward jumped up and clapped, “I sure did! That was Insane!”

“Prepare to see it again!” She yelled again.

“You can do that twice??-“

*SHWUP*

“Sorry, You say something?” Said jenecis, now standing in front of him in an instant.

“Holy crap” Said Edward In awe, His mouth slightly agape.

“It’s as easy as that, Wanna try your magic out? I’m sure we’ll see something cool out of it”

Edward nodded, “Sounds good to me! Although… I don’t know if we’ll get a result really, I mean, This would be my first time doing such a thing”

Jenecis shook her head and waved her hand dismissively, “Nah nah, We’ll unlock that potential of yours tonight, you’ll see, just follow my lead and it’ll be easy”

Edward nodded again, “Okay, I trust you… let’s do this!” He said, revving himself up for whatever lied ahead.

Jenecis grinned, “That’s the spirit! Alright then, First, What do you wanna do and or see?”

Edward thought for a moment, with a snap of fingers he raised his head back to hers, “I wanna try to bolster my jumping height, ya know, so I can jump over let’s say… That rock over there!”

He pointed his finger towards a large rock next to the lake, It was roughly around the height of jenecis, not really a rock but more of a boulder it seemed, One that could not jumped by either of them.

“Great idea! So what your gonna do now is try to think on jumping over it, Think about the imagery of yourself going over it. Do your feet touch the tip of the rock? Do you soar over it with a breeze and land gently? Is the grass soft as you land? Everything. Try to feel for the scene that you want to occur, believe it’ll happen once you get ready.” She explained.

Edward and jenecis walked closer to the rock, lining up to it from a shot away, A swift sprinting path was clear for him to run and jump.

Edward turned his head from the rock to jenecis,

“isn’t there some sort of exhaust limit on how much you can do these certain things? Like, if you did that sprint that you did before a couple more times, would you eventually not be able to do it?” He questioned.

Jenecis thought on it,

“Well, sort of, this whole magic thing is dependent on how heavily you can believe it, like, for me, I’m pretty much set as to what I can do, because I’ve already gathered enough evidence for myself to the point where I see magic as a splendid factor of life, therefore I can pretty much do the certain spells I want.” She continued

HOWEVER, This type of belief is also dependent on your endurance and or stamina, Meaning you can’t just cast what is essentially the power of the sun ten times over, instead, you’d have to build up to how many times you can do such a thing. It’s setting a goal for yourself and your belief, like with those weights I lifted back at my house, I started out only being able to do one routine that left me unable to do more exercise for about the whole week, then after a couple months of doing that same work flow I eventually reached a day where I wasn’t horrendously sore afterwards, and it shot up from there.” She throughly explained.

Edward nodded at her details, “Gotcha, so to play it safe, I’ll only be doing this one time tonight”

Jenecis pointed at him, “AND you’ll succeed on doing it this one time tonight, You will not fail, you have got to trust that it’ll work out, no room for doubt needs to be left”

Edward was taken back by her sternness’s but he agreed, “That’s right, Just once, and I’ll make it” he said.

Edward moved back towards the starting path that lead to the rock, giving him a clear runway into it, Jenecis stood at the side, out of the way to see how this event would turn out.

As he prepped to dig his feet into the floor, suddenly-

“Oh and Edward!” Called out jenecis.

Edward whipped his head to her location, “Yeah?”

Jenecis stood with her arms crossed in a mentor-like pose, coming off serious and stoic.

“You have to pay the price to obtain what you wish for, The cost depends on how far you’re willing to strive for it” she replied.

He stopped, “a little ominous, don’t you think? What’re you gonna do? Throw a ball into my run path and trip me for the heck of it?”

Jenecis chortled confidently, “Pssshhh,I was trying to be serious, but no, what I mean is, anything can happen when you take this jump. Maybe you’ll run face first into the stone and break your nose, maybe you leap high and break your ankles on the fall, or maybe, just maybe, You’ll make it and suffer no permanent pain, a slightly harmed base of your foot from the fall or something of that sort, but regardless, Whatever may come ahead of this act you do, you’ll live on”

Edward tilted his head, replying:

“Okay but what if I jump really high and land on my neck and die instantly-“

Jenecis’s cool stance broke,

“psssshh, Damnit Edward, I cant even take myself seriously when you act just like yourself, You’d have to be the closest definition to living embodiment of silly I’ve ever seen.” She said, tittering between her words.

Edward smirked, knowing she was trying to come off as stoic in front of him, but regardless he understood, her words stayed in his mind still.

“Knowing you, I don’t think I have to worry about any damage being done to your body, you’d probably just make a squeaky noise the moment you hit the floor and then bounce right back into the position you had before you jumped without a scratch on you. Haha” she continued laughing between words.

Edward smiled at her, “Exactly, We’ve got nothing to fear my friend, I’m gonna come out fine”

Edward without warning then scrapped his foot against the dirt and darted directly at the stone boulder, picking up speed as he made his way towards it, his hands raised and so did his legs, even his hair gusted behind his ears as he dashed.

Jenecis flinched in shock as he quickly ran at the boulder, he was so small compared to it, but he was going to go for the high jump anyway.

“He’s not stopping?! he’s gonna go for it without hesitation!” Her mind screamed in surprise.

Edward became ridiculous close to the boulder on his run path, with a strong stamp into the floor with his right leg, he launched off of the grass and into the air, leaving Jenecis’s sight and making his way up and over the boulder by a decent amount of space, his arms spread out, his hair pulled by the gravity, it was as if he did it naturally.

Swiftly, he fell back down onto the floor behind the boulder with a heavy THUD, As his legs hit the floor he continued to run forward, using the momentum from the jump to keep him quick, the shockwave of hitting the floor slammed into both his heels, pulsing up his legs and into his gut, it hurt quite a bit, but it was somewhat nulled out by him dividing the momentum between each leg as he kept rushing forward.

As he kept trekking across the floor he swiftly skidded into the dirt by using his left legs heel to brake himself from running further, Extending it out and halting his run path, he turned himself around and looked back at the stone with the distance he covered.

He jumped with joy, getting off the ground once more, “I DID IT! I MADE IT PAST THE ROCK!” He yelled happily.

A voice called out from the beginning of the rock, “Edward! You okay!?”

Heavy footsteps were heard against the floor,

*THUMP THUMP THUMP*

Jenecis came sprinting towards the scene, a small glowing orb of light in each of her hands.

“Edward! Are you-“ she stopped herself, Looking at him happily parading himself into the air, jumping joyfully. His eyes closed and his smile wide, Victoriously chanting about his success.

Jenecis smiled, tucking away the orbs of light back into her body and watching him cheer.

“I’ve done it! I’ve done it! I’m a Magic user!” He roared giddily.

“Is he STILL jumping that high!?” Said jenecis out loud, realizing his jump height was still the same as it was when he made the jump.

He jumped higher than usual, once more, and again, and again, and again…

“Edward! Come down here real quick!” She said, putting her hands to the sides of her mouth to echo her voice towards his height.

Edward snapped out of his jumping trance, “Oh! Yeah! My bad” he said, ceasing his high jumps and landing on the floor.

As he landed, his weight divided into his knees, they buckled downward and his arms spreaded out again, his head lowered, He then pulled himself up from crouching and stood back up to face jenecis.

“Did you see that? I actually did it!” He declared happily.

Jenecis’s eyes widened, her voice a little higher than usual.

“Yeah you did! How in the world did you keep jumping that high consecutively?” She questioned.

Edward paused for a moment, “Is that not normal? After I did that jump I kept feeling the surge to continuously maintain my speed and height.”

Jenecis rubbed her jaw, “Yeah, about that… usually if your just getting into the whole magic scheme, it takes a ridiculously long time to actually consistently do the things you want with it, and yet… You just did it in a row, only pausing because I asked you to come down” she said.

Edward joyfully grinned, “That was fun! Just a bit of belief and I was able to glide so easily! Do you think I could do other things as well? Like that conjuring stuff you did earlier?”

Jenecis put her hands on her hips, questioning his idea.

“Well… since you did so well on that one, I’d say give it a go! Maybe you can summon something I haven’t seen before.”

Edward nodded, “So… what should I try? Are there any restrictions?”

Jenecis shook her head, “Quite literally not, it all depends on how willed you are in the subject, say like, I was able to summon that dagger, that dagger never existed on this planet before, I poured great amounts of effort into thinking of its design, The way it felt, and how it would be used, Now I made that when I was much younger but I was able to essentially keep it forever, because it remained in my mind of course.” She explained.

Edward tilted his head, cocking his brow.

“So… could I summon a monster that doesn’t exist? If I have an idea for something like, A four legged abomination that’s covered in eyeballs from head to toe, Could I summon that right here and now? Since it’s in my head and all” he asked.

Jenecis stared blankly at him for a second, wondering where he got this idea from.

“Hold on hold on! Don’t get any ideas!” She ushered, waving her two hands frantically at him in a denying gesture.

She eased herself down,

“Okay, For me? I never have tried making a monster from magic, BUT I do think you could PROBABLY make a creature real and summon it if you belief it hard enough and focus your energy into building it up, with that being said, DONT YOU DARE SUMMON THAT THING”

Edward started chuckling, She seemed so scared from his little imaginary monster.

He raised his hands up and pointed them at the floor,

“Hummmmmmm, Hummmmmm, Jenecis back up I’m trying to make it real” he jested.

“Edward No!” She squeaked.

He started twirling his hands and shifting around, dancing slightly in rhythm with his hums, Purple aura coated his hands and frothed off of his fingers.

“Here it comes Jen! It’s gonna be awesome! I’m gonna give it lots of teeth up and down its body! It’s gonna have eyeballs on areas it shouldn’t have eyeballs! Holes will coat its thin fleshed body like cheese! And! You won’t be able to stop it! It’ll have a permanent invincibility against each of us!” He laughed, Putting all his effort into creating it.

Jenecis grabbed her head with both hands, panicking as the ground began to rumble, the grass shifted near him, He was about to actually do it!

“Edward Stop! You have no idea what you can do!” She screamed, dashing at him to stop the ritual.

Edward smirked, now running away and around the lake as jenecis chased him, his hands still enchanting the beast to be real.

“It’s gonna be greaaaaat! Truuuuust meeeee! Hahaha! What’s the worst that could happen” he cheered, still speeding away from her.

“You dolt! You can’t just summon an abomination so quickly without reason! If you do it’ll have dire consequences!” She roared.

Jenecis dug her feet heavily into the floor, A orange glow wrapped around her clawed feet, The blood in her legs pumped, her muscles squeezed together, She focused her thought into her legs, Needing enough speed to catch up to Edward to stop him.

Her momentum picked up, her legs shifted at increasing speed, the grounds dirt jutted out behind her in greater quantities as she sped up after him.

Edward turned his head back, seeing her now glowing body powering up after him.

“Two can play it that way!” He chuckled, increasing his running speed effortlessly with magic, now turning his head forward to focus on his getaway near the rim of the water.

“Jackass! Stop using your prodigy powers for this! Didn’t you hear what I said!-“

“Says who? How would you know?” He replied, sassily.

Jenecis growled and gritted her teeth, her snout wrinkling, “ITS OLD FOLKLORE BUT I DON’T WANNA SEE IF ITS REAL”

Her quickness took a huge soar, She lifted off the ground with one of her kicks, now taking a direct lunge at the far away Edward.

Edward giggled, turning his head around again to see how far he was from her.

“Haha! Don’t worry, I’ll make it really fast too! just like us! then I’ll give it-“ he said, interrupting himself as he now saw her flying directly at him with her arms splayed out like a net at dangerously high speed.

“OH MY GOD-“ He shrieked in fear, Moments before taking Jenecis’s full weight into his body.

*SPLASH*

Edward and jenecis both slammed into the lakes water filled circle, A humongous eruption of liquid launched upward as their bodies crashed into it.

A few seconds passed by as the water died down, the ripples calmed from such a heavy smash, the water droplets came down from the geyser created by their premature cannonball, they were nowhere to be seen, then suddenly-

*GASP*

Edward and jenecis both came up from the water, their heads poking out from the liquids reflecting surface.

Jenecis’s hair was mattered and dark, it sopped over her eyes and dripped with the lakes water, Edward had the same affect, his hair ran ragged over his face clumsily, Each of their black clothes were soaked to the collar with water, like they both had just been hit by tsunami.

Jenecis squinted at Edward from her spot in the lake, “Thank goodness, That was ridiculously close. You should have listened to me dude! If you kept going with that we both might have been in deep Trouble!”

Edward kept chuckling, “Hehe, Alright alright, You win”

Jenecis scowled, “You better not try that again, I mean it! Your lucky all I did was tackle you, I might have had to hurt you to pull you out of that trance you were in” she said, raising her hand out of the deep water and pointing at him.

Edward frowned, slinking deeper into the liquid, “Aww, I’m sorry jenecis, I didn’t mean to disturb you like that, I was just playing, ya know?” He said, becoming apologetic for the panic he caused.

Jenecis’s eyes eased, she lowered her hand back down, “It’s okay, I’m just glad we didn’t get hurt, Just remember, Never again, Okay?”

Edward nodded sadly, “Yeah I guess you’re right…”

He turned around, facing away from her in the lake.

Jenecis heard a couple of sniffles coming from his direction, his head bobbed a little.

“H-hey come on now” she said, sloshing forward in the water to get to him.

“you okay? I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings” she said, grabbing his shoulder to turn him around.

Without effort, he turned with the motion of her hand, a sly smile spread across his face from ear to ear, his two hands raised from under the water and were presented to her, They were still charged with the previous conjure, And they were were still concentrating.

“Say goodbye Jenecis!” Laughed Edward evilly.

He rised out of the water, holding his two hands up in a preaching manner, aiming his hands to the sky.

“H-hey-“

Edward interrupted her “Is for horses! Now die!”

He forced his two hands together, creating a bright purple sheen in-between them, with another quick movement, he casted the bright glare directly into the grass beside the lake.

The waters wobbled, the big trees leaves shifted around, the wind picked up as a circle formed around the light that was thrown into the grass.

“COME OUT, COME OUT AND RAVAGE THE WORLD MY CREATION!” Yelled Edward, proudly holding his hands out towards the manifesting monster.

Jenecis rose out of the water and grabbed his shoulders, shaking him, “What have you DONE!?” She panicked, her eyes jittering from the fear of seeing the thing form.

“Take it back! Now!” She pleaded.

Edward smirked, “Say please”

Jenecis frowned, “Fuck you!”

Edward rolled his eyes, “Well I guess we’ll just have to all die a horrible death by the hands of leviathan then, eh Jenny?”

A horrible roaring thunder sounded off from the forming monstrosity, A dark purple cloud suffocated around the area of it being born, The element of wind swayed into the purple forming clouds, it was like the creation was devouring the air, everything from nature around it was being sucked into its vortex.

Jenecis looked in fear, Her pupils shrunk to small slits as she realized it had already been made.

The creature stepped out of the now clearing smog, One foot plunged into the floor with a soft step, its clawed toes poked out a little, another foot came out, The same as the last one, Then its maw poked out, a little snout and whiskers stemmed out of its face, two ears flopped out from its head, dragging along its sides, its purple toned fur tone was unnatural, like a miasma of poison. To top it off, the brim of a black hat poked out near its forehead.

A heavy accented voice suddenly called out from the boggy purple steam.

“Oi Mates!” Cheered the thing in a light tone, It took off its hat and waved it with one hand at the two as it made its way out of the dark clouds.

It stood up to about 4ft tall with dark purple fur, wearing a black top hat with blue earrings decorated along its lanky lop ears, its iris covered all of its eyes, shining with a bright neon pink that glowed, a black pupil neatly placed in the middle of each socket. It bore a resemblance to a hare.

Jenecis swiftly gazed at Edward’s face, His big bright smile brimming from side to side of his face, She squinted once more at him, showing him her disappointment.

“Oh, you’re a dick, Ya know that?”

Edward busted into laughter, “That’s for teasing me about undressing previously”

Jenecis palmed her face, Rubbing her eyelids with her hand and sliding it down in disbelief to his prank.

“Okay fine, you got me-“

“And for that prank involving barging on the door and threatening me with authority action” he interrupted.

“Alright I get it-“

“AND for biting me on the neck” he finished, cutting her off once more.

Jenecis inhaled deeply and exhaled heavily, “Okay, I deserved that one” she said, accepting her fate.

“YOOOOWHOOO” Interrupted the same voice from earlier, ceasing the two from talking.

“Oh my god” mumbled jenecis, Turning over to see the Creature with a swanky hat still attempting to talk with them.

The thing whipped out a cane from seemingly nowhere, now propping itself up on the object with one arm, almost as if it were posing.

“Man! that little summoning circle was dangerous! I only made it out of that one by the skin of hair!” It jested, Now laughing at its own joke.

Edward clapped, “Woooo! Alright! That was great!”

Jenecis frowned, staring at the hare with almost malice over its dumb joke.

The strange thing looked back at the two, seeing Jenecis’s dismay with it, “Well someone is a wet noodle, Do you always dampen the mood? HAHAHAHA-“

*CRACKLE*

Lighting bolted down from the sky, The hare exploded into nothingness within an instant, Leaving behind only a hat and cane, with a smoked pile of ashes against the dirt.

“GIUSEPPE! NOOOOOOOOOO” Screamed Edward, in disbelief at the pile of black and gray left on the floor.

Jenecis’s right hand smoked from the finger tips, a slight burn marking the tip of her middle and pointer fingers, She tucked her hand away under her shirts pocket.

“Oh nooooo, Not the hilarious hare!” Said jenecis, sounding apologetic.

She waded her way over to Edward, wrapping her left arm around his head and Patting his shoulder for comfort.

“Awww, don’t worry Edward, Some backfire from summoning does this sometimes, ya know? It’s no one’s fault, I’m sure he had a good 11 seconds of existence” she said, comforting him at the loss of his creation.

Edward looked back at her, his eyes weren’t glossed with tears but his face was a little upset.

“You think so?” He asked, genuinely curios.

Jenecis’s nodded, “Yeah, he didn’t even feel that bolt of pure energy, he went out happy, don’t worry, I’m sure once we train your abilities a little more we’ll be able to summon him again, Without the haphazardly lighting.”

“Come on, we’ve had a lot of excitement for tonight, let’s relax for a little, okay?” She said, issuing him to move along with her back into the solid ground near the tree.

“Y-yeah, let’s go” he agreed, following her back to the tree and sitting down.
