Over time, I"ve noticed that I see not only the sparks of people but also some kind of fog. At first, I didn"t give this phenomenon much importance. Only when my eyesight was fully formed did it become clear that these were the objects around me: the earth in the form of a dirty green mist, the trees were saturated with yellow watery haze, even the air seemed ghostly blue - everything had its own and saturation.
Luckily, the fog wasn"t dense enough to hide the Sparks of the people. The only thing I couldn"t immediately recognize as the gold dust. They were rarely seen and could be everywhere, even in the air, in the ground or the water. There was a funny thing about this pollen, which later played a huge role in my life. By then, I was already able to sit back and crawl on all fours.
My arms and legs were getting pretty tired of the constant movement. Everyone was surprised that I was developing very quickly for my age. And what will you order to do? Thoughtless lying on my back or on a puzzle I quickly got tired of. A child should walk when the skeleton is formed enough, but I was not lying around all the time and constantly reaching out, leaning against my feet, trying to move forward or backward, learning to turn over, hold my head as long as possible, trying to push-up, which was not as easy as it seems at first glance.
That day I was so thirsty to drink. Unfortunately, I couldn"t scream at my nurse - she ran away somewhere, and I was left alone in the house. Thanks to my ability to see, the location of the bottle with the cherished delicacy was not a secret for me. It didn"t bother me at all that she was lying on the table, which was much higher than me. I tried to get back on my feet several times and reach for the milk. Eventually, I managed to find some balance by leaning my hands on the nightstand drawer.
It was my luckiest attempt to get up, but as you can see, I wasn"t tall enough. As long as I didn"t reach for the bottle, I couldn"t even touch the plastic surface. How I wanted it to just fall and roll down in my direction. I even imagined how I would have acted with my tentacles to reach out if they were free of the body, and at that point, something happened. Gold dust gathered around the bottle and pushed it closer. Joy was full of pants. In the literal sense of the word. From that day on, my desire to quickly learn to walk and the talk was complemented by my desire to learn how to manage this pollen.
My first successful experience was when a nanny left home. She fainted when she returned to my room. I would have looked at you if you"d seen that the baby you left behind for a few minutes was giggling cheerfully as you looked at your hand hugged by the blue flame. It was just that day that I learned that pollen could change and become any element I"d ever seen before! I haven"t seen this nanny since.
She ran away from home like she was scalded. Too bad she was caring. By the way, I rarely saw my father, but there were reasons for that. However, after that incident with the nanny, he came to visit me more often. If I had seen the sadness and hidden sadness on his face before, I could see joy, confusion and. .. Fear or something? One evening everything became clear. My father sat down by my bedside and it seemed to burst out. - Ast, - yes, by the way, that"s my name. I completely forgot to introduce myself.
My name is Astrud Nicholas Stickers. Astrud in honor of my mother"s favorite flowers, Nicholas in honor of my father. - I don"t know what to do. Though I am a squib, I know little about magic. My brother and I were abandoned at the age of ten when we realized that we were incapable of magic. You are a magician, just like your mother. We didn"t expect her to leave us.
No one expected that. Carolyn was a beautiful girl. - The man smiled and continued. - Of course, you don"t understand much yet, but you"re special, not like everybody else. I know you miss her, just like I do. But I"ll do my best to make it easier for both of us. But you help me too, okay? Don"t scare the nanny. Since that day, I"ve been doing all my magic experiments either alone or in front of my father. A year later, my uncle came into the house.
