Chapter 19 · From a point of view

"Oh that. They're a bit of a new thing. Some crazy techno-mage made some magic tiny robots that let some people get magic in a limited way. It would be ok but even people who lack mana site can see them which isn't that bad but some of the older users think its bad." Zoe explained

"So there are real superheroes?" I asked

"You just found out about there being a how new world of magic I think we can forget about them for now," Zoe said before looking at me "and even more importantly we need to find you some new clothes. Oh and toothbrushes and soaps... " Zoe went on thinking to things to buy

"I have some stuff at my old flat. It might still be there." I mumbled.

"Ok, we better get going then. After I go pay. Be back in a second." Zoe said jumping up and walking away.

After we walked down a few streets we walked past a glowing blue barrier.

"What is this?" I asked looking at it.

"Oh, it keeps non-magic people out and keeps the mana in the air dense to stop monsters from leaving. Its to keep people safe." She said with a nod. After that, we keep going

It took a while but we, me and Zoe, managed to convince the landlord to let me take my stuff. He wasn't the worst landlord and I had always paid on time and never got a noise complaint.

It didn't take long to pack my stuff. A suitcase of clothes, a few toiletries and my old laptop. It took about an hour. A short walk there and back to Zoe, and mine I guess, flat.

By the time we got there, my arms were aching, my legs breaking and my spine screaming in pain. After throwing my stuff down in an almost empty spare room. Soon I felt myself crash down on the sofa in an almost dream-like state.

Zoe called me but a failure to move let alone walk over. Soon I felt my mind ease and I fell into sleep.

Zoe viewpoint ----

She was so cute. Jade. It was such a good name and just like her. Prity and rare. Well, I think Jade is rare. I walked over the chair she was in.

I lent down and picked her up. Like a leaf, so weightless. I walked trying my hardest not to rock her and headed to my room.

Soon I lay her down and as careful as I could undo her coat and shoes. As I place the covers over her I let my smile slip. I felt her cold cheeks, so pale like snow and just as cold too. As I pulled the cover-up I couldn't help fell her chest. She was so thin I could feel her bones like a starved dog.

I leaned down next to her cheek. I could hear her breathing in short breaths. Even with a day of walking around, I could smell Jade. Like fresh lily's.

As slowly as I could I walked out of my room and shut the door. Is it weird that I felt like a creep in my own place? Meh, oh well. I'm sure I had some ice-cream in the fridge unless has Bane eaten it. I bet she would do.
