What remnants of a smile, nervous or otherwise left her visage as the revelation that Tanek did not come with her, wherever this new world seemed to be. There had only been one instance before that she had been separated with her best friend, and that was the first six years of her life before she had met him. Once the two had met, they had became fast friends and were inseparable ever since.
Others often joked that he spent more time with her than his own wife. That was just how things were. They had grown up together, and spent most of their life together, and now for the first time, Senu was alone, with the familiar sight of Tanek’s face and sound of his deep husky voice. She didn’t know what to feel, other than a huge sense of loss. At least she wasn’t dead, yet.
The copper-haired woman mentioned that this strange new land was called Caido and asked if they had magic where she came from. She didn’t exactly know what magic really was, but the Gods and Goddesses often performed miracles that blessed their followers, such as Hapi, the god of the Nile that flooded the river, giving Egypt life as it left the land with black fertile soil when the waters receded. It was a wonder how thriving green oasis could sprout out in the middle of the desert, thanks to the grace of the god Set, the god of deserts. Was this not magic? The girl didn’t know, but it did seem like it to her. The gods performed miracles, and perhaps this was the magic that existed in her world.
“We have priests that perform miracles with the help of the gods and goddesses where I’m from. The river god Hapi floods the river every year, giving the farmers the black fertile soil to grow their crops, and the way for life to sustain itself in the valley. There were plenty of rituals for all sorts of events and spells that was cast to protect others, especially the royal family."
She paused for a brief moment before she continued. "Is that magic? I have not heard this word used before, but somehow.. it feels familiar to me.”
