âThank you so much!!!â
âYouâve done so much for us; we have done not a single thing backâŠâ
âThis is a miracle⊠a miracle!â
âIs this a dream? Is this real life?â
âSo this is how trees look like⊠So beautifulâŠâ
âThe air feels so clean out of nowhere⊠What is this?â
âMama, this fruit is sweet and juicy!â
I felt slightly overwhelmed by everyone being so thankful. I did this just because I wanted, without any actual reason at all. I was just carelessly doing something without minding. They donât have to be so exaggerated for itâŠ
âItâs okay, itâs okay. Donât worry about it so much about it, guys. I did this out of goodwill because of Brunhild, sheâs an amazing magician. She even created the seeds using her magic. See? Magicâs pretty neat.â I said.
âBrunhild did this?â
âShe really did?â
âSo magic can even do such a thing?â
âBrunhild, is this true?â Her father asked.
âWell, yeah⊠I made the smaller tree seeds but it is nothing too muchâŠâ Said Brunhild.
âYou made the smaller trees that gave us such tasty fruit?!â
âAmazingâŠâ
âBrunhild is our savior now, isnât she?â
âI am sorry for doubting youâŠâ
âAh, I guess I also owe an apologyâŠâ
âI am really shockedâŠâ
A lot of people that looked down at her seemed to begin to apologize, even former bullies that mocked her magic talent and her physical weakness. Brunhild felt overwhelmed by their words, but couldnât help but smile as she seemed to be having a good time.
Sol rested over the bark of a tree while looking at everything, his sword had even shaped into a shovel before. It seems to be able to shapeshift into many farming tools, in specific. Although I donât know why ones, but just any that is seen as one, most likely.
âThat was amazing, Sol. Elfina would be proud of what youâve doneâŠâ Fiere said.
âAh, yeahâŠ?â Wondered Sol. âWell, I am sure that goof would be happy.â
âHm, we canât stay here for too long though, we should eat something and quickly go off. I would love to take a nap, but for now we need to find Elfina at all costs.â Said Luminous.
âYeah, we are closer to our target, only a few kilometers from here.â I said.
Like that, we decided to join into a big feast where almost the entire population of Giants joined into the fray. There was freshly harvested fruits, veggies, tubers, and roasted meat. Some people began cooking with the new ingredients, making some delicious stew with potatoes, carrots, onions, and meat cut into pieces, and I also cooked my own food, making some bone broth using the bones of the Bone Dragons, which was actually very delicious and tasted like a very strong meat flavor. I added other ingredients and began serving it to everyone. I had to cook it over a giant pot though, for people of all sizes to enjoy it.
âOh, this food is so filled with flavorsâŠâ
âDeliciousâŠâ
âThose hard rock-like potatoes can be boiled with water? They become so softâŠâ
âBoiled stuff⊠Iâve forgotten how nice and soft they taste.â
âThis tomato salad is amazing, try it! It is so filled with juice and the smell is great!â
âCabbage and tomatoes make a good combinationâŠâ
âSo this is a⊠banana? It has a weird shape⊠But it is so soft and sweet!â
âI love orange juiceâŠâ
âLook, try this out, itâs called watermelon!â
âUwah, so juicy! So much water⊠I feel refreshed.â
I saw Halberd talking with his daughter while we enjoyed the feast. It seemed that the conversation was rather important and serious, so I overheard it with everyone while we looked in silence.
âSo because of that I really need to go with them⊠This entire time Iâve been barely figuring out magic by myself but I need someone to teach me and show me magic so I can use it.â Said Brunhild. âWithout other people that can use magic at my side, I cannot really develop my abilityâŠâ
âHmmmâŠâ Halberd looked back at his daughter, noticing the conviction in her eyes. âI donât know if I can even convince you to not go. You seem dead-set on that.â
âI want to go⊠That genie is the culprit behind everything, we have to put a stop to him so our desert can go back to its normality.â Said Brunhild.
âI just am very worried. I donât want you to⊠die.â Sighed Halberd. âDo you promise me youâll survive and come back home once everythingâs over?â
Brunhild looked back at her fatherâs single eye, as she smiled back and nodded.
âOf course. I am not planning in running away. Iâll come back as soon as I can, and tell you all the adventures I had, father. Iâll show you how much my magic as advanced and⊠Iâll teach magic here too. I think that even between the other children, there might be many that are talentedâŠâ Said Brunhild.
âI see⊠Sorry for neglecting magic and your talents for so long, Brunhild. In your eyes, I can already see how wrong I truly was. Can you forgive your father for being so foolish?â Wondered Halberd, looking back at his daughter with shame clear on his eyes.
âYeah, it is fine. Donât worry about it.â She said with a smile. âI am happy as things are, and I am happy to have you with me as well. I think we can keep things up and eventually, weâll reach somewhere where thereâs a better future. I want to use my magic and my talents for that.â
âBrunhildâŠâ Halberd seemed taken aback by his daughterâs words, they sounded very mature and adult-like.
âI guess youâve already grown up, huh?â He said while smiling, head patting her. âYouâre already a full-fledged adult. I was the only fool here trying to think you were still a little girl⊠My little girl already became a woman with her own dreams. I have no rights to stop you from following them.â
âFather⊠Thank you.â Brunhild hugged Halberd back.
Man, this really hits me deep. I miss my kidsâŠ
