Capítulo 51: Aquarina’s Journey
Aquarina POV
-----
I've recently hit four years of age… sometimes mommy and daddy say I'm already a big girl… Hmm… I think it's because they told me my mind developed quickly. Usually, kids my age don't think as much as I do… Then again… I'm too shy to say what I think… But I would really like to travel around the world and meet tons of new people and places though! I always have that thought in mind…
And Sylphy… Sylphy… I miss her! S-She hasn't come in a month… She's always here for two weeks each month. I miss her! It kind of makes me sad that she's not here… to the point that I wanna cry sometimes. I miss her so much…
Sylphy is my beloved sister… she always plays with me, and we're best friends… However, she hasn't been able to come here since winter started… it suddenly began to get colder and… there are also storms… Mommy and daddy told me that the bird they travel on can't travel across thunderstorms, so they can't come here for now.
Hopefully, they can get here really soon. I really miss them. Well, I don't miss… uncle Allan or auntie Faylen as much as Sylph. I really miss Sylphy the most… I've gotten too used to being with her. She's… very important to me.
She always cheers me up. To be honest, it's hard for me to socialize and be as cheerful as she is, but she always helps me get through my dummy self. Plus, she tightly holds my hand and leads me to places. And… and… we have fun together!
It's fun to be with Sylph… I-I don't know what this might be, but maybe I'm developing something else for her… B-But I think I'll never tell her this. I'm too embarrassed… Sometimes, I wonder to myself… what does she like? She always tells me that she likes being with me and playing around, practicing magic, sleeping, and eating yummy food.
If so… I guess we're the same there! Though I'm pretty sure I don't like practicing magic… magic is scary, it's too unstable. At times, it gets messy. At other times, it explodes…
The other day I wanted to practice the Boiling Water spell, and I ended up burning my hands… but I'm glad Sylph was there. She covered me with the light of her spirit, Naturia! After that, the pain disappeared bit by bit, and soon, the burn went away.
When I asked her what spell she used, she told me she used a Nature-type Spell named "Verdant Light." Uwah… Sylph is so talented at magic! I wish I could be like her… but I'm pretty sure I'm bad at magic. Sure, I do my best, but the only things I can conjure are a few spells compared to hers.
But it's not like I'm jealous of her… she's pretty strong and she's a hard worker. I remember seeing her exercising every day. She pushes her body to the limit and trains very hard on top of that. Plus, she constantly uses mana to make it stronger.
I couldn't possibly do all of that. I end up tired and I end up resting… I'm weak and small… Compared to the rest of the Amazon, I'm said to be an anomaly because my body didn't develop great stamina.
Only after eating that dragon meat Sylph's mommy brought did my stamina increase. It was yummy, and it made me strong. But compared to Sylph… she's really a very hard worker. I admire her lots and lots! I can't help but always see her as the best person there is.
And she's so young… I can't imagine how strong she'll end up as she grows older… will she be stronger than any hero? I want to stay by her side… Mommy and daddy always tells me the world is a dangerous place. So, I have to be stronger to survive. They told me that if I want to be by the side of a girl as strong as Sylph, I have to grow strong myself… Then again, Sylphy always tells me I don't have to push myself and that she'll always protect me… but I don't want her to protect me all the time…
S-So, even though using magic is scary, I keep practicing. Also, mommy and daddy always congratulate me when I learn a new spell. Hehe, I love mommy and daddy. They always hug me and pat my head.
I think Sylph is almost at the same position as them in my heart… maybe a little bit higher… I-I don't know…
Sylphy is… very important to me. T-That's why I miss her so much. I wonder how's she's doing…
Ah, recently, I told mommy and daddy about something… I ended up being visited by creepy people in my sleep.
At first, I was very scared, but then they introduced themselves as Gods. Gods from… the religion that people sometimes pray to. At first, I didn't know what to do. I felt scared, and I even cried because of it… But three cute mermaids suddenly hugged me and calmed me down. They said everything was going to be okay, and that they weren't bad people. They had cute smiles and were very playful… so I ended up believing them.
After that, I was led to a place, where I met someone named Oceanus. He was a very intimidating man. He was very old… with a big beard. But he was gentle like a grandpa. Plus, he let me sit on his big lap… he was gigantic! He told me I was going to be the hero of ocean shores, or something… and then gave me a mission I didn't really understand.
Something about… saving the world. Like mommy and daddy did? That sounds fun! Maybe I can finally explore the world. However, when I told this to my parents… they looked worried. Why? Isn't that a good thing?
Hmm…
Sylphy… I miss you…
