《Other Worldly - Magi Fanfiction》Chapter 23 - Loose Ends
Advertisement
The door slammed against the stomach wall of HQ. "I did it!" I yelled, holding up my creation.
"Isn't that a crystal ball?" Kansi asked, with a chicken bone in his mouth. The other two looked up at me. Yukino looked up from the book he was eating, and Ivan was sharpening his sword.
"But it's not just any normal crystal ball," I said to my audience of men. "Have you ever needed to contact multiple people at once, but needing to use two crystal balls drain your magoi quicker than flying through a tropical storm. Well worry no more, with the new and improved crystal ball 2.0! You can now call all your friends at once and have a chaotic group chat while draining your magoi at a less alarming rate!"
They all looked at me confused. " I can contact all of you with this one ball, and more than one at a time," I sighed after explaining it in a way they would understand.
" Finally! " Ivan declared,"Took you long enough. Been working on that for over five years now." I got a pat on my back from the brown haired prince. "Now I will know you can pick up." I groaned, as I don't always want to answer.
"Let's test it out," Kansi said, "Call Mina and Mila." He named the two that would be farthest apart, and who he likes pointing out, that their names are extremely similar. I did as he asked.
"Hello?" the two girls asked at the same time. The two then freaked out seeing as they saw more than just my face.
"Hi, sorry for bothering you," I apologized to the two, "I just made one that works many ways, and Kansi wanted to see it work."

"It's no problem," the tan girl said before ending her call.
"Nice," Mina nodded before hanging up herself. I picked up the crystal ball and put it in a pocket, so I could carry it around. The entry door appeared, and Mei walked through, looking anxious.
"Ads, Aladdin showed up and wants to. Talk to you," She said, holding the door open with her foot.
"Finally!" I declared, running over to the door, following Mei back out into Sindria. In the main room talking to the kids stood my brother.
"Aladdin," I greeted my brother, "Wanna go talk in my office?" He nodded and followed me into the room. I locked the door behind me. "Don't worry, the room is magically sealed so no one can listen in." This put him a bit more at ease. "So how's having Dad's Wisdom?" I asked with a little smirk of my own.
"I don't know," he confessed, falling into a chair I had I sat down next to him. "I'm not sure to do with everything I know, how do you deal with it?"
I cringed at what I needed to do next. "I don't have Solomon's Wisdom," I confessed, shocking him. He watched me wide eyed, knowing I was going to explain. "At the Battle of Alma Torran I almost died. But Dad did some things, and sent me to another world. I don't know what his plan was with doing that. But either way this entire world was a story in that one. I have part of it memorized. But the part of history known in that world has only recently started to past. So when I was sent to this world, a baby once again, I knew, and know what was going to happen. I'm not going to get my memories of Alma Torran back until my knowledge of the future is in the past."

Aladdin threw himself at me for a hug, which I returned. " You're the only one I've told all that to, " I confessed.
" How much do you know of the future? " Aladdin asked, staying in our much needed family hug.
" A little over a year, maybe? " I shrugged, "It's been years and the story was never clear on time, so I'm unsure." I told him, running my hand through his hair.
"Why's your hair blue now?" he asked. I laughed, remembering that Ugo and Altezca commented on the same thing.
"Was my pink hair really that stunning?" I joked. We were our of the hug now, but still sitting next to one another, Aladdin snuggling into my arm.
"It suits you better," he commented. He's right though. The djinn said inside my head.
"Oh, want to see Altezca again?" I asked. I remembered her only knew her for a short time in the Sacred Palace. He vigorously nodded his head. I pulled out my swords from the sheath and set them on the table in front of me. Out came Altezca, human sized of course.
" Hi Aladdin, " my djinn greeted him, pulling him into a hug. "You're getting so big. One of these days I should teach you how to use a sword. Ati was younger when I started."
"I don't want to know how to use a sword, I want to learn magic," Aladdin refuted, getting Altezca to set him on the ground. "Violence never helps."
"I'm not trying to change your mind," I told him before I would say something scandalous. "But knowing how to fight is knowing another way to protect what you love. If you can do that with magic, then your all good, but it never hurts to know more... in most cases." My mind couldn't help but go to the eldest Kou Prince.
"Thanks Oneechan," he said, with a wide smile.
"Oh! Do you want to learn about Atiyah's Rift?" I asked him, pride echoing in my voice. He tilted his head in confusion. I told him about my orginization, it's founding and it's mission, all he was happy about.
He was just a jumping mass of joy as I was walking him back to the palace. In the palace gardens I found someone I had been meeting to talk to. "Hello Hakuryuu," I greeted the Kou Prince.
"Oh, Hello Lady Audria," he greeted me, surprised by my appearance. "It's nice to see you again." He bowed to me, which I never understood why he did that. I gave up on trying to stop him.
"It's been a while since we've spoken in person," I said in agreement, "You still wanting to take down the Kou, or just your mother?" He was shocked I came right out and said it. He was frantically looking around, to see that we were alone. I took that as a yes. "Hakuryuu, I've told you time and time again, you shouldn't go this alone, but some people aren't easy to convince..." I looked up at a balcony I could imagine Sin standing at. "I will always be on your side, come to me if you need anything." I panted the prince on the shoulder and walked back home.

‘’ Ladies and gentlemen of Panem, for the Pageant of the one hundred and twenty fifth annual Hunger Games, or the fifth Quarter Quell, we have a special treat in store. Here in Panem, we are all depending on something, the Capitol depends on the twelve districts for goods, the districts depend on the Capitol for food and protection but also, the districts depend on each other. To highlight the fact that the districts of Panem are so dependent on each other, the tributes in this year’s Hunger Games will be randomly paired with one another. The pairs will be connected via a new Capitol invention that will mean when one of them dies, so does the other. This will mean that the pairs will have to protect each other, because their lives are in their partner’s hands and vice versa. As you may be wondering how this will affect the final outcome, I am very excited to announce that for the first time ever in Hunger Games history, two tributes will be able to win! Yes, you heard me correct. There will be two victors! You will all hear more about this after the Reapings have commenced, until then, I bid you all adieu. The one hundred and fiftieth annual Hunger Games has officially begun!’’
