Xander’s Dilemma – 1
Xander let the balls float in the air as he ordered them by color. Galen stuck her tongue out at him as he waived to her.
“You think you’re so good since you have process magic already,” said Galen.
“If there were a whining magic, you’d be queen of Gaelgia,” said Xander. He circled the balls around and sent them one by one back to Galen. Purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red.
“Watch this,” said Galen. She swirled both of her hands and before any of the balls got within a foot of her, they all scattered behind the bushes.
“You’ve got powers?”
“Just watch.”
Xander started to walk over and get the balls. “It’s cool, but if we can’t see them then we can’t control them.
“Purple,” said Galen. The purple ball flew up towards her.
Xander stopped and looked at her. “How,”
“Blue.” The blue ball flew up from behind the bush.
“Can you see them?” asked Xander.
“Green, yellow, red, orange.”
“Out of order,” said Xander. All four balls flew up and flew towards Galen out of order.
Galen had a huge smile on her face. “It doesn’t matter if I can see them or if they are in order. If I put them there, I can find them.”
“That’s impossible,” said Xander. Her ran over to her. “You got your power, but its impossible.” He ran over and hugged her. “This is the greatest day!”
“It’s so weird,” she said when she hugged him back. I just woke up this morning where everything was that I put down. No matter where.”
Xander stepped back. “You kept it secret!”
“I haven’t even told my parents yet. I wanted to show you first.”
“Hey, we can play a trick on our parents.”
How?” asked Galen. Her mouth pulled into a big smile.
“Follow me,” he said taking the balls in his hands. “You put each of these balls around me in a circle. When we get back to the meeting, you hide and I will pretend to point the balls away.”
“Pretend?”
He handed her two of the balls, to start with. “Yeh, you throw a different ball out of order.”
“That will so freak them out,” said Galen. She took two of the balls and started them circling around Xander.
Xander gave her the others and they ran back to the town where all the adults were meeting.”
I don’t know what Zander and Galen’s world is like, but I wonder how the adults will react to their joke.
I wish I had Galen’s power. I’d like to hear more about the children and their world. : )
Hi!
Every Tuesday I’m going to continue this story. I’ve got the next few posts prepared for Tuesday deliveries. The story is all plotted out and i am guessing two years at one post per week. I am also going to make a better page to follow this part of the Gaelgia story — read it in order.
I’m afraid, things are going to get a bit rough on poor Xander and Galen rather quickly.
