“Oh, yeah! I think that was the first time I saw fire employed so stupidly,” Yoos added still keeping his eyes fixed on my sister.

“I learnt it from water sorcery, for beginners. Just used their schemes and got something from the Book of Elements.”

“Water sorcery? You mean you did manage something out of it?” Truvle whistled in surprise. “Okay, then. Hey, Captain, guess you got to apologize for saying something like stupidly.” Truvle wagged his finger at Yoos as the latter spread his arms in a gesture of apology.

“The major thing now is what we do next,” Nargara was fast to get everyone back down to the earth.

“Just live like we lived,” I repeated Truvle’s idea, still not much sure it was any possible.

“I think there is nothing else left to us. And all we have to wait is another year,” Yoos was lost in his thoughts as he was saying it.

“And what happens in a year?” I asked finally the question that would not let me stay calm.

“You are turning 21 in a year’s time, and then one of the most amazing events in your life is coming,” the witch said while her face lit up with some kind of unique delight, as if she had just recollected something.

I was ready for more explanations but all the three were looking at the fire silently. It felt they were making it clear that I had to wait to get the answer… for a year at least.

In the morning, Nargara announced she had to leave for a couple of days just to sort something out, yet never said where exactly she was going. And then she reminded, “We live the way we did before, as if nothing had happened.” And instructed us, “Girls, please, just stay out of harm’s way, okay? No more trouble. Quiet as lambs. And no magic whatsoever!”

Finally, apparently to keep us busy, she gave us a whole list of chores to tackle.

However, it was no longer possible to live as before, at least because the entire city was buzzing like a bunch of angry bees discussing the recent events.

There were more people than ever on the marketplace, and of course the major thing under discussion was the battle of the fire people and the burnt down desert instead of green meadows at the path leading out of the valley.
