"Sis, you were unconscious for like thirty minutes," Lime patted my elbow and said, "And the fire you made was red and black, aren't fires supposed to be pure red?"

My god! It means that he really wasn't lying to me! Then could my family...

"Sis?"

"Oh, sorry, just a bit dazed," I lied. "Now, should we go in and comfort the angel?"

"Comfort what angel? How'd you know that?" Lime looks at me suspiciously.

"Sorry, I just forgot you hadn't heard about the prophecy:

Three days in due, the treasure shall fly.

In the water of a cave, lived an angel that's shy.

Comfort her and leave, immediately to the tree.

Or the evil that lies, would eventually be free."

"Looks like some evil's racing with us, so quick!"

Lime suddenly grabbed my hand and sprinted into the cave as I felt everything was flying over me at extreme speed. Looks like my sister's using her powers.

Then we finally stopped at a small clearing with a bit of sunlight shining from above, and on a single gray stone chair sat an angel that looked at us with a confused look on her face, then all at once, she said the word 'sorry' with a very small and shy voice as she held her hands in front of her and somehow summon a blast of water that shot both of us out of the cave where we started.

"I think we have to make a plan—"

"No time to plan!" Lime grabbed my hand and ran into the cave once again. I really shouldn't tell her the last sentence of the prophecy, she loses her mind in every competition.

We repeated this 'pattern' for like six times when we were both soaked in water and Lime asked me to use my fire to dry both of our clothes.

"Sis, think about it, you really shouldn't—"

"OWWWWWWWW!" She pointed to her shirt where I found I had accidentally burned a hole.

"Sorry," I said.

"You have to concentrate when using magic, an oversight would cause something unpredictable." Why does it always seem like I'm the little sister and she's the big one?

"Oh." I said emotionless. My mind went into an 'asking a dumb ancient person' mode.

Are you still there? 

Yes, always here. Are you having some problem in your journey?

Well...kind of.... I really, really don't want to admit my problems, but I still did anyways. Or else, what can I do?The prophecy said to comfort the angel, not to do something my sister planned, and I couldn't even change her mind! Any suggestions? It was like my last hope, cause he really is the dumbest person I ever met.

Of course.

Is it complicated or so?

Nope, just leave everything to me, now, just make your sister try again, because this time, both of you are going to succeed with the help of me.

He really is an idiot, but I did what he told me to do, and we tried it again.

When we were at the clearing again, the angel spoke, "Come with me, my guests." As if she was a confident warrior. How did she change that fast? Lime looked at me, puzzled too. Then something hit me, it must have been the sorcerer! Maybe he wasn't such a jerk.

The angel led us through a long hallway she opened up with a key that fluttered down from her shimmering, transparent wings.

After a minute or two walking, she gestured us to walk on a staircase where all the lights shone down and made a swift movement with her key as a crack appeared in front of us and the angel started to chant in a language we both don't understand,"𝒮𝓅𝒾𝓇𝒾𝓉𝓊𝓈, 𝓂𝒶𝑔𝒾𝒶, 𝑜 𝓅𝑜𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓈 𝒴𝑔𝑔𝒹𝓇𝒶𝓈𝒾𝓁. ℛ𝑒𝓈𝓅𝑜𝓃𝒹𝑒 𝓂𝑒𝒶𝓂 𝓋𝑜𝒸𝒶𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃𝑒𝓂, 𝒶𝓅𝑒𝓇𝒾 𝒾𝒶𝓃𝓊𝒶𝓂 .... 𝒶𝓅𝑒𝓇𝒾 𝓆𝓊𝒶𝑒 𝒶𝒹 𝒾𝑔𝓃𝑜𝓉𝒶 𝒹𝓊𝒸𝒾𝓉!" (Looks like the angel would finally beat Lime in a language competition) The crack became larger by the second, then the angel stopped her chanting when the hole was big enough for both of us to go over it.

"Go, chase your destiny!" The angel pointed at us then to the crack, and we both stepped into the dark.
