6 Sarah (2/2)

”What should I-”

Before I could finish the sentence, a handsome yet puzzling man appeared from the mirror.

”Aliya!” he said, embracing her tightly. His eyes were significantly different from the two men who came here a month ago. He seemed friendly at first glance, while his scar, which I noticed straight away, ran across his white ghostly eye and stared deeply at me.

”This must be the girl who got the old Preskan mad,” he said, as he gently kissed my hand, ”I am Rayleigh Ukreni, Rob's uncle.”

”Are you here to take me to Naeyriv?” I asked.

”What a smart metin rae we have here.”

”I thought you were going to come tonight,” Aliya said.

”No, the headmaster wants the girl now. Where is Robert? Still sleeping like always I guess.”

He went to Robert's room, while his arm started to cover itself in what seemed to be diamond shards.

”Sarah, it's better if you step back,” he said.

Once his hand was entirely covered, he punched the wall disintegrating it. The noise woke Rob up from his sleep as his fist was only two centimetres away from Rob's head.

”What is going on?” Robert shouted.

”You're still snoring, and you might want to put something on since I can see everything,” Rayleigh said.

”And so?” Robert asked.

”And so, Sarah might like what she's seeing.”

Rayleigh smiled at me, while Rob, stunned and almost naked, flushed as I stood near the door. He began to cover himself with the sheets, not making any eye contact with me, as he stared at the floor. In any other occasion I would have said something, but I still had his body in my mind, which strangely enough I had never noticed in this light.

”Oh my god, you could have told me she was here, or at least not come at all,” Robert said, as he was staring at his own feet, his cheeks were blushing, too embarrassed to even look at me, ”I'm ready,” he whispered.

”Hara Naeyriv herall,” Rayleigh said, as the mirror opened a gap in front of our eyes. I hugged Aliya not knowing when I would have had the opportunity to meet her again.

I took a deep breath and touched the mirror with my right hand, the texture seemed as if I was touching cold water, but once I removed my hand, it remained completely dry. I closed my eyes and while I entered, time seemed to pass differently, I felt as my body was fluctuating through space.
