Chapter 9 - Class is in Session

Lynaya sat there and stared. She couldn't use the illusion or dreaming excuse; it was all too real. But how could it be? Angels! Wild bears! Prophecies! Nothing made sense any more. And let's not forget the whole saving-the-planet-from-an-eternity-of-darkness-and-death part. And her situation! Stuck in a middle of a remote forest with an unconscious girl, an angel, and not far from people who want to kill her.
The pressure was too much-she was only thirteen! Lynaya felt her face heat up and hot tears streaked down her face. She doubled over on the ground in a ball, clutching her head and making moaning/screaming noises. What was she going to do? Had she gone insane? Everyone was expecting so much of her, she could only do so much. And what happened to Mr. Osc-?!
She clapped her hand over her cheek where Naomi slapped her. "Lyn-look at me," Naomi commanded. Lynaya looked up, and was locked in Naomi`s stern stare. She seemed to look down in her soul, knowing her feelings and thoughts, and she grabbed Lynaya`s arm."Chill."
Lynaya stared blankly at the girl before her."Chill?! How am i supposed to-"
Naomi slapped her again. "I could slap you all day if I have to. Believe it or not, your not as bad off as you think."
"What do you mean?"
"You could be dead, but you're not, now are you?"
"... I think I'd rather be."
"That's the spirit. Now help me up, please."
Lynaya took Naomi's arm and led her to a nearby tree to lean on. Naomi started inspecting her wounds and came to rest on a mammoth gash on the back of her left leg. It covered all the way from her thigh to near her ankles. You could almost see some white. She tried to bend her leg, but it made a disturbing noise when she did. "Yeap... that's broken," she murmured.
Naomi laid her hand on the wound and closed her eyes, beads of sweat forming on her brow. Lynaya watched with stunned silence as the muscle tissue and skin sewed back together. It was like she never got the wound in the first place. She bent her knee and was pleased to hear no ghastly sounds coming from it.
"How'd you do that?!" Lynaya gasped.
Naomi smiled, "Magic."
"Magic?"
"Magic."
"Magic."
"M-A-G-I-C."
"How do you expect me to believe that?"
"Got a better explanation?"
"... no."
"Well, there you go. Now, let's wake up Sleeping Beauty."
Naomi went over to Kim, who was resting under a tree unconscious, and closed her eyes again. A second later, gallons of water that was stored in it's leaves fell from the tree's branches and all over Kim. She shot up immediately and sputtered. "What the-?!" She wiped the water from her eyes and looked up.
"Well, look who woke up!" Naomi chided, "We all have a good nap?"
"Who the hell are you?!"
"I am Lynaya's guardian angel, Naomi."
"What are you-oh..." Kim said, just now noticing the wings and halo,"Have I been smoking something lately?"
"Cute, but no. You are sane-and sober."
Kim shot Lynaya a quizzical look and Lynaya shrugged in response.
"Now it's time you kids learned about the wonderful world of magic,"
"Are you kidd-?"
"Shut up and pay attention. I can assure you this will save you're life in the near future.
"So it goes like this," She continued,"around the... fall of the roman empire, I think, this girl named Lioria discovered magic. She found that there is this intangible compartment in you're being where you're magic is stored. It's called a lior, and it can vary in size depending on you're heritage. As for you," she turned to Lynaya," yours is the size of a small apartment building."
"What?!"
"You have to understand that liors have different properties that can only be felt mentally. In all other senses, it's completely intangible."
"What about me?"
"I'm actually impressed with the size of yours. It isn't much smaller than Lynaya`s.
"Anyway," she continued," Lioria found that a magician must first unlock their lior before they can really use it."
"How do you unlock it?" Lynaya asked.
"It's like a sentimental journey. It takes about a week at most, but that's if the lior is really small-you guys shouldn't take over an hour."
"But, I don't remember doing anything like that," Kim protested,"but we still used magic, right?"
"See, here's where I cheated." Naomi confessed"In order for you guys to not die, I had to kinda'... unlock them for you."
"So... we can use magic now?"
"Uh, no. You're gonna have to do it on your own; that was only temporary.
"Anyway, so Lioria had a sister named Bianca and Bianca was always jealous of her sister. So when she spies on Lioria and sees her practicing magic, she finds an opportunity. She tells the whole village that Lioria was a witch and everyone sided with her-even Lioria`s husband. And that's why Lioria couldn't fight back. She was the greatest magician of all time, but she let them burn her. She had a broken heart, and she couldn't just run away with her kids, her husband hated her now. So... yeah. Later on, Bianca some how unlocked her own lior, and became the second greatest magician of all time. Of course, she used her powers for her own gain."
Naomi yawned."So, now you know. Class dismissed."
