《A wish come true》The waiting game and secrets broken

"fuck Them up gypsy! Noo why did you get thrown?!"
This is not what Luke had been expecting when he showed her what a movie is, he had expected her to maybe sit still in shock and Awe' but instead what she is doing is practically fan-Girling, she did initially 'sit still in shock and awe' after the jaeger deployment scene and the first fight scene and complain about 'giant iron Golem with people in it fighting Giant monsters from another world' concept of the film but after learning that jaeger translates to Hunter or huntress she was immediately sold.
though she did complain again about the lack of bows, the weird thing is she doesn't make as many questions as he had expected, apparently the saying 'if it looks cool, don't question how it works' applies in this world as well
"Yeah! Punch it harder!"
Luke did had to recite and explain what each character said on each scene because the movie isn't in her languange (duh) so now he is currently roleplaying as Russel and Mako searching the city for a flying kaiju.
'i Mean... The movie is basically about monster Hunters and she is a Huntress after all, hits home i guess'
"Grab it's tounge!"
'too bad i can't fit the sequel here... eh who cares it ain't as good as this one'
"It can fly... Yeah! Stab it Mako!"
'i wonder if i should call her Mako now, it's basically her if she's human'
"Hey Luke, what did she say on this one?"
"Huh? Oh she said 'for my family' "
"A Huntress that fight for her family huh..." She frowned as if ashamed
'ok, this hits home more than i thought'
Luke had to pause the film for a second at the meteor scene "ain't that Valiant?"
She smiled again "yeah... It is, what is that round thing in the background?"
"Eh?" Luke had to analyze the scene to see what she was talking about then he realized she was talking about the earth.
"That's earth, my home"
"Why is it round?"
"This is gonna be hard to explain but whatever, it's round Because it's a planet, a planet is this gigantic mass of rocks the shape of a ball that forms the world we live in, this world is on planet too, well... Maybe, you never know with magic being around here"
"Then why does it look flat on the surface?"
"Because it's so damn big, when you go to the surface it starts to look flat"
"How big is it?"
"Hmm... Imagine a Giant ball of rock several Times bigger than this town and picture it as a planet"
"Ok?"
"And then the smallest Grain of sand possible on the surface of it and imagine it as you, that's how big it is"
"No way!"
"Yes way"
"But where is it placed? Something that big must have like a special place to be in right?"
"In space, space is uh... What you would call a void of some kind, it's even bigger than a planet, the planet basically hangs around inside of it, billions of Them maybe even more"
"Now you're just saying nonsense! but i'll believe you"
'checkmate space-deniers'
"What keeps us on the ground though if it's round?"
"Gravity, it's happens when something is big enough, it starts pulling things to the center of it"
"So it's like a force that keeps you pinned to the ground?"
"Yeah"
"Ok i'll believe you on that one too, can you continue the movie?"

'checkmate flat-earthers'
"Yeah sure"
They continued watching with Vina asking what happens here and there with Luke having to explain it, as they watch the part with pentecost congratulating Russel and mako, one statement by Vina Made Luke curious
"You know, this pente-kos guy reminds me of my mentor"
"You have a mentor?"
"Of course i do, how do you think i become a Huntress?"
"What reminds you? His discipline? Kindness? Skin color?" Luke joked a stereotypical one.
"All of Them, although the last one would be fur color"
'oh damn'
"His name is zhaarzak, he's Legendary you know, one of the few if not the only Hunter to ever take out a spider queen alone"
"Dang, he sounds brave as hell"
"He *looks* brave, big, pitch Black fur with scars everywhere, he's a nice man though"
"And a veteran like pentecost?"
"Yup"
"where is he though?"
"Fortaare"
"The town that is being attacked?"
"Yeah, i was with him on the way, he insists that i go here while he stays there"
"Oh... You think he's okay?"
"Knowing him, he would most likely join the fight rather than evacuate, otherwise we would have seen him here"
"Well... If he trains you then he should be fine"
"Stop it with the compliment"
"If i stop you'll cry again"
"Luke, i'm not childish, that was simply an outburst"
"Which is childish"
"No it's not you idiot"
"Really? You went from 5 stage of grief, to watching a movie to mocking me again?"
"You said yourself that you are an idiot, i simply reinforce it" she said that one with a smug smile
'damn you sympathy Luke'
"Mm-hmm you know i'm right, oh! the iron Golems are being dropped to the sea"
'yeah you right'
"To your right strai-ker!"
'i wonder what that witch is planning' he thought again as he recite the dialogue of the movie
----~----
'i wonder what that pest is planning' Sylvia thought as she pinned the small rune shopkeeper to the wall
"That's all i know! I swear!"
'a lightning rune? Hah! As if that can hurt me, but on an Axe? He's into something, lightning infused weapons perhaps?'
"Can you please let me go?"
"Silence heretic, i'm thinking"
"Hey! Just because i'm interested in dating my own gender doesn-"
"SILENCE!"
"Ok..."
"You lesser draconians should learn your place! Now... What else did he buy?" She asked in the calmest tone possible, though the faint glow of fire down her throat betrayed that sentiment
"Nothing else i swear! It's just that lightning rune and the swiftness one"
"Mmm...."
"Please?"
"Fine, i'll let you go little rat but if i See you even joking about what happens here i can guarantee your death"
"Th- thank you, i- i promise i won't tell anyone!"
"Go, before i change my mind"
Sylvia watched as the wimpy lesser draconian ran back to the direction of his shop
'that pest is definitely planning something'
----~----
'that witch is definitely planning something' Luke thought as he sat on his loyal sleep chair, observing a sleeping vina
After they watched the movie Vina finally let out all her questions about it, which ended up on a one hour session of just questions, she wanted to watch another one but his phone battery said no and he had to turn it off again which elicited a sad whimper from her, apparently movies is her favorite thing now.
'huff... Alright, let's retreat and re-group, how long have i been here?'

'a month and a half'
'what happened so far?'
'Dungeon, elf mage, dragon witch'
'why am i here again?'
'a wish come true'
'who is responsible for putting me in this world?'
'it's was me! God!'
"AAAAAAAAA!"
Luke fell out of his chair at the sudden voice that came out of his head
'sup?'
"Wah? Vah ze fak?"
'How are you so far? You doing fine?'
"Oh christ... It's the amateur God again... Can you please... find a better timing to speak again?!"
'hey... I'm not an amateur, simply unexperienced'
"What do you want?"
'Just checking by, how are you doing?'
"Huh... I'm fine... Thank you"
'your welcome bro'
"kid, where the hell did you learn that?"
'took a peek at your world again, it's pretty cool, no magic, but i find some amazing stuff, might as well pick it up'
"Uh-huh yeah, is that all you're here for?"
'yup, oh by the way, here, something for you'
"What do you Mean something for me- AAAAA!" Luke didn't get to finish his question as a bright light blinded him again
'shush... you're gonna wake her up, anyway, i did one mistake when i placed you here, i didn't give you any mana affinity'
"Huff... Huff... That is enough bright light for a week!"
'now you should be able to channel mana easier now'
"What are you talking about?"
'every sentient being in this world has an affinity to mana, the energy around you, technically you don't need it to channel it but this should make it easier for you'
"Oh great... Divine interference, i feel blessed already"
'hey, i'm serious, you should be able to channel next time you try to activate that rune'
"Why do you care?"
'because i want my friend to not be Torn to pieces by a dragon'
"We're not friends!"
'a word of a God is absolute, so now whether you like or not you are my friend'
"Does that rule really apply to a kid like you though?"
'yes it does, a God is elligible of that rule once they reach 100 million years old'
"A damn Ten year old can have their word become an absolute rule.... and i thought politics back home was bad"
'i think it's good'
"Oh fuck off, get out of my head"
'okay, rude... But okay, may we talk again next time!'
"Wait!"
'what?'
"What's your name?"
'gods are nameless dummy'
"Well... Can i give you a name then?"
'maybe'
"What about Timmy, is that good"
'that should do'
"Ok Timmy, What kind of God are you?"
'god of curiousity'
"Wow ok, that was straightforward"
'not so much a child eh?'
"That doesn't change the fact that you are technically a 13 year old by God standard"
'whatever, bye-bye! May we talk again in the future....'
"Wait no damn you! How do i use this affinity?"
Silence came as the answer, Luke got up and sat in his chair again checking for any differences in his body and found none.
'oh well... That's the second time i've talked with God, crazy shit man'
----~----
"Empty your mind and imagine the rune... Inhale... Exhale..."
Luke is sitting on the floor of eryn's room, currently being trained by her, Luke wasn't sure it would work because again, he's not from this world, but the 'mana affinity' that bastard gave him last night boosted his confidence.
He closed his eyes and did what she told him to do, it wasn't that hard really, it's basically the kind thing you Will find on someone attending a discount therapy session, all that inhale-exhale, absorb the energy of the universe bullshit, but this one is actually real, and he was having a hard time, infact this was his 20th attempt and he had started questioning if his plan would really work.
"There you go, a little glow, try harder"
"This is harder than i thought"
"Everyone in this world have mana in their body, but not everyone can effectively channel it"
"Yeah but.."
"Do it again, focus harder this time"
He closed his eyes again and tried, nothing, he was about to complain again when a thought came to his mind
'what if i just imagine lightning? This is a lightning rune so that should work right?'
He tried this new mindset and concentrated all he can 'ok... lightning... dangerous, harsh edge, superheated...' nothing
He tried again 'what is lightning? It's when positive in the cloud meet the negative in the ground, yeah let's try that'
after a solid minute of eye-scrunching which got him some weird looks from Eryn he finally felt something in his hands
"Hmm..."
"Is it working?"
"Yes it is glowing but why is nothing coming out? That rune should've let you cast it"
"I don't know"
"Wait... Ah, something is coming out"
Luke opened his eyes and looked down to his Axe, he sees the rune glowing brightly on it's handle, he looked at the Axe head and sees several Tiny arcs of electricity popping out of it
"Haha! It worked!"
"Congrats!"
"How is it? Did i do good?"
"you are quite fast for a newbie, but not the fastest i've seen"
"I'll take that as a good, wonder what i can do with this?"
"Your Axe is basically a lightning staff now, so not much other than cast lightning, but i have to be honest, i have never even thought about putting dangerous runes on weapons"
"Yeah, pretty cool right? So now i can do it with this, i should be able to do it with the speed one right?"
"Yes, but be careful, those can go really fast, i'm not sure what it Will do on a boot though, might not work at all"
"I'm sure it can"
"What about Vina? Did she do it yet?"
"Not much, but there's a glow alright"
"Tell her to go to me if she has more problems"
"I Will, hey Eryn, why were you here again? On this town? You never said why you're here"
"I'm just here to explore, see what it was like beyond a city wall, turns out it's not as good as i thought"
"Apparently going out of your comfort zone results in getting a draconian archmage as your enemy, by the way, we can't go outside of the town and that witch can't do anything for now, so now what?"
"We wait, she doesn't have many options, act now and risked getting caught, if she waits, the guards Will warn the guild and they Will probably send an army here"
"So it's a win-win situation for us?"
"Not exactly, but it's in our favor"
"Welp... I guess it's a waiting game then"
----~----
"I said wait, not have a holiday"
It has been 4 days ever since that conversation and life is starting to get boring in the town, sure the alternative is murdered by an evil and probably mentally challenged witch, but life sometimes life just need a little entertainment, what's worst is that they are running out of money, purchasing those runes had been a huge drain in their wallet.
Speaking of runes, Luke had tried to find new tricks to do with his lightning Axe and has been constantly training how to use the speed one, it has been the hardest one out of the two, the thing is when you put a rune of speed on a boot and put said boots on, it makes your whole body faster and makes it borderline out of control, the first test caused him to crash to a stone wall full speed leaving a crack on it and a broken nose.
"We can't keep doing this... Our money is running out!"
"You know the alternative Luke"
"Why don't we just go and do a quick one? I'm sick of having to eat just bread"
"There is no such thing as 'quick' quests, all of Them are atleast one day long"
"Well let's do the fastest one then! We only have enough money for like a week and you said winter was coming"
"Well yes but"
"And you said there are no quest on winter"
"Who told you that?"
"You!"
"No, i said less quest on winter"
"Oh God... Huh anyway, how are you doing with your rune?"
"This wind rune is pretty good, it makes my shots go faster"
"I told you it was a good Investment"
"An Investment that puts us into this situation"
"Oh stop blaming me will you?"
"Bad luck charm"
"Ugh..."
They sat in the room in silence for a few boring minutes before Vina spoke again
"Do you have more movies?"
"Seriously? That's the first thing you ask from me today?"
"Well... What else would you do?"
"I have done nothing but crash into a wall trying the speed runes for 3 days"
"See? Might as well right?" She had a hopeful smile on her face
"Even if i have the time, there's no battery in the phone, our first and probably last movie night drained it"
"Aww..." Another sad whimper from her, Luke didn't want to disappoint her but it is what it is, then another genius strike hit him
'wait... I have a lightning axe, can i..."
He got up from his chair and reached under the bed for his phone, he picked it up tried to figure where he can possibly fit his impromptu lightning Axe charger idea, he can hear Vina practically brighting up at the sight.
"Are you..."
He grabbed her in the snout "Shut, let me try something"
He inserted the tip of his Axe into the charging port, it barely fits but it's good enough, he activated the rune and hoped for the best, at first there was nothing, his Axe did Lit up but his phone didn't
'ah shit did i fry it?'
He tried again, nothing
"Uhm... Luke"
He grabbed her snout again "shut"
He tried again with more fine-tuning this time, trying to position it properly, like a charger that only works a certain angle, he activated it again and to his surprise, it worked, he can see that the phone was instantly charged to 100
"Hah! I'm a genius!"
"Luke!" Vina grabbed his hand holding the phone and held it down
"What?"
Vina gritted her teeth and pointed at the doorway, there stood Eryn with a look of disbelief and interestingly, curiosity.
"What is that..."
"Shit"
