The Wind of My Life

Chapter 42: Recap - (Sebastian) A simple activity, I guess?



During this week, the history teacher suggested a personal activity that I thought was nice for practice. Students should write the day-to-day in order to use the content as a way to see what are the problems and situations that we need to adapt to in order to seek a future where we can improve. He used the example of the Roman Empire, which even after its fall, many empires ended up following its model of government, both in positive and negative aspects, in order to improve the quality of their governments and avoid making the mistakes of their predecessors, and the same is valid for the humans beings. And as strange as it is to write on paper as if it were a diary, it seems to me a way of trying to understand what is happening... Even more so in the last few days.

Well, everything was going well during a recess we had from school. My friends Ian and Stella finally started to try approaches to say that they like each other, which made me sad because I couldn't be there and give each other a support because my family decided to travel to a place owned by an aunt's farm, like a family excursion. And everything was fine... Until 3 days before we returned to our home in Creast Fall.

I was walking in a forest near my aunt 's farm in order to clear my head about some things, mainly about school, my future, my way of doing my things. Until out of nowhere, I saw some lights in the sky, which looked like meteors or something because they were falling, and one of them, a green light, started to fall near me. I got desperate and ran, but I couldn't even go any faster, but instead of causing an explosion... I saw her.

She looked like an otherworldly being arriving with grace and elegance. The wind seemed to be in sync with her movements, the leaves surrounded her as if she were a mystical being of nature, her graceful manner seemed as if she were a fairy tale princess... I could spend time thinking of better metaphors, but in that instant she looked at me, it was as if i had been chosen for something, even though it was conveniently at the moment i was having a mental monologue with myself. And in the end, I think I blacked out after that.

Days passed and we finally made it home, but I felt like something was watching me. There were times I swore I heard a voice, so much so that when I got close to school with Ian, someone said good morning, but no one was close enough to say that very close to my ear, but that voice was... different. I thought I was crazy or my thoughts were too fertile at that moment, until I get home when I finally met her. Of course, in an ankward situation that she was naked at the moment, but after things calmed down, we finally spoke to each other...

Sagittarius Ellyn was her name. A heroine and demigoddess coming from another world with a specific goal: Locating people with magical skills. Strangely, I didn't think it was absurd because it sounded so much like a botched story of the mind of a young man in his delusional phase of being the chosen one to save the world and stuff like that, but when she used magic in front of me and gave me a speech about how she realized that I was undecided about how I handled things in order to find my purpose... I decided to help her. To this day I wonder if it was a good idea to accept without questioning too much, but something told me to risk a unknowing and strange adventure.

The days passed... I reencountered with Naomi, the student council president of my school, close friend and my crush. It's even hard to accept that she's my crush because it seems like a lot of excuse for someone without the courage to say they like someone else, as much as it's something normal in my perception. Also, my sister Cassandra, or Cassie for short, got stuck with me when she saw me together with Ellyn, which resulted in a pointless little disagreement and my sister passed out in my room while I was helping Ellyn about two possible people for her goal in my school have something to do with magic, even if it makes no sense for me to point out those people, resulting in Ellyn leaving my house for a while.

I was sad about it because I didn't want her to feel bad about doing it, even though it was something we couldn't have foreseen. But even though she hadn't given any sign that she could come back or anything, I decided to go after Claire Hunnigan, a member of the school's supernatural studies club , or I think the book club for the amount of books they had there, in order to try know if she was involved with magic and stuff like that, but... I ended up being blamed for graffiti her club room, even though it didn't make sense since Naomi asked me to help clean the club for a few reasons available members and I as a passionate simp went to do this service.

Even though it was convenient, I think it was something of a balancing act, since on the same day, Ellyn and I met again. She told me that a Gacha like her was in Madison and being helped/abused by a person he ended up hooking up with, just like me and Ellyn. In this, she revealed her origin and the reason why she had accepted to be part of this mission, not only as a form of responsibility, but as a new life experience to understand how Earth humans are different from other worlds, resulting in a kind of contract between us...

And she kissed me. It was the way to seal this contract between us, but it was something I didn't expect. So it wasn't my first kiss, but for some reason, the sweet scent of her hair, the soft skin of her lips, the feeling of...

- (Cassie screaming) SEBASTIAN! ARE YOU NOT LISTENING YOU F****** DEAF?!

- Oh sorry! I'm doing a job. What it was?

- Dinner is ready! It has to come soon or the old man will eat it all!

- It's OK! I'm on my way!

Dammit... I lost myself for a moment describing her kiss. Forget it! Come back... Finally...

The next day, the situation at the club occurred. Even though it was a bad thing, it was good to "get closer", since it was really someone else's attitude... Robert Gallstone, one of the members of the Gallstone family , an important family in Madison and here in Creast Fall, decided to trust me saying that he knew I wasn't responsible for the graffiti, and the Naomi who's been with me since this whole situation has been stunned and a little annoyed by his presence. What happened between them?

Anyway , Ellyn and I went to Madison, where I ended up meeting her friend Gacha who also came to those lights and the person who took him in... Jack Ace, a young boy who looked like a furry butler with wolf ears and a tail, and Raphaela Daviner, a young college student, who agreed to help Jack and Ellyn on this quest, so much so that she ended up welcoming the Ellyn at her house in the meantime she'd been gone. I still haven't thanked her.

Well, things are much simpler and more complicated now. Recently, Ian's grandmother had a heart attack and his family was worried. Stella ended up telling me that she's going to visit and keep Ian company tomorrow at the hospital, and in the end, I ended up suggesting Naomi come too. Ian and Stella know that I'm falling in love with Naomi, but at the moment, what matters to me is that my friend needs support, comfort from people he can trust, and how Naomi is clinging to both of them like friends after certain things that happened to her recently, it would be a good idea to get closer.

Actually... Naomi 's been different lately . She is more open with me, jokes with myself that she ends up getting embarrassed, and keeps showing a side of her that I only saw when she fought with her sister about family issues. I don't like to take advantage of situations like that, but because of that, I think my relationship with her has improved a lot. And I keep falling more and more in love with her... Me and Naomi together...

Well, I think this activity can be a lot cooler to organize myself. I have to get closer to Claire, since she didn't like me much when I helped clean up her club and much less when I was accused/punished for this without reason. Also, there's Robert that even though I have no idea if he has anything to do with magic because of his family business , I have a slight impression that he wants to get close to me, which makes me wonder what there is going on between him and Naomi to make her uncomfortable with his presence.

Anyway, I think that's enough. I wrote more than I imagined and I'll have to prepare for tomorrow. I hope to be able to write something like this in the future to organize my ideas.

- (Thinking) Okay. Let's go on.
