8:13 A.M., Alex's House
Algaia, or Mrs. Winter, could be seen preparing breakfast at their kitchen as Alex and his friends are yawning while coming down stairs, "Good morning sweeties, the bath is warm and ready, I also washed your clothes and are good as brand new," Algaia greeted the kids.
Kristin and Joana were alarmed as they both said at the same time, "Wait, they won't dry in time!"
Algaia just chuckled as she just waved her hand and a warm breeze went pass Alex and the others as they seem to finally remember what they were told last night, Kristin and Joana heaved a sigh of relief and sat down at the table along with the others.
The way Algaia is preparing their breakfast is magical, as there are floating utensils, spices and the dishes flying towards the table in an elegant fashion, Alex and the others watching in awe, and for the first time in their lives, they witness magic as a form of convenience.
This made them admire magic as when they were first introduced to it, Estela and the others scared the hell out of them as they used it to kidnap them and took them to an unknown part of the nearby forest.
They weren't even sure if it is the forest near them as they don't remember there being any lush part, especially Alex who's been living in Sand Springs since he could remember.
Algaia saw Alex in deep thought and a moment later she spoke, "If your wondering where that lush forest is located, I hid it with magic to ward off unwanted visitors and if does someone manage to get in, I would be notified immediately,"
Alex was surprised and taken off guard, he didn't think she would figure it out, "Wah- How-"
"Motherly instincts," Algaia shook off with a wave, "C'mon, go eat, there's plenty more," She said as plates flew towards the table and set themselves in neatly. "Thanks Mrs. Winter!" Elijah said as he dig in without reserve.
The girls ate at a much, much slower pace than Elijah, except for Charlotte, she has fire in her eyes as she ate just as fast, if not faster, than Elijah. Elijah not wanting to be bested ate faster, the other girls just closed their eyes in embarrassment while they eat.
Alex just laughed on the side as he remembered something, "Hey mom, aren't you gonna tell us the rest of the story?" Alex asked.
Algaia also remembered this, "Oh right! I did promise that," Algaia said as she let the dishes and equipment do their thing as she made a magic circle and threw it on the ground as it formed an invisible dome around the house only visible from the inside.
The others found themselves in awe again, even though this is like the same magic Estela used to isolate them when they first met on that rooftop. Except, something feels odd about this one as it didn't give the same feeling as the one Estela used.
Algaia explained what it is quickly after it formed, "This is a Time Space, although if I remember correctly some of the humans passing through Mystic Veil called this Time Dome or Time Zone, but I personally don't see the difference in both names. This spell accelerates time in here as 1 minute here is one second on the outside, if you want to, you can make it a year passed here and a second only passed outside but it would take a tremendous amount of mana to keep up."
And after her brief explanation, she grabbed a sit herself and sat along with the others, but this time seems different, she poured water on the table which confused Alex and the others.
Their confusion was soon cleared as Algaia drew a magic circle, or rather, a magic square below the poured water, the water seamlessly followed the outline of the magic circle, a few seconds after it followed the outline, it detached from the magic circle and float a few inches above it.
