Estrik sat on the water's edge, still debating on whether he should do it or not. Eventually, he succumbed and got out the drawing. It was made of pastel and of Estrik and his brother, this was the last thing he had to remember him by. He kept on his clothes and went into the chilled water, all the while his armor and gloves keeping him warm. He hoped the fairy would appear, he needed to do this, for his and his brother's own good. A slight breeze blew as he waited for the fairy to appear. "Goodbye brother," he whispered.

A hand touched Estrik on the shoulder. This touch was not a dangerous one but rather a friendly and understanding. Angelus stood there, next to the water. He knew Estrik was a new student at the academy and he never liked seeing new students going through trouble. Angelus was forced to leave all of his family when he fled the city and knew how it felt to lose someone you loved.
"Hey," said Angelus in a cool, concerned voice, "I hope you are feeling okay. My name is Angelus." He held out his hand, hoping that Estrik would shake it.

"Yeah," Estrik replied to the friendly voice that called himself Angelus and shook his hand while talking, "I just heard rumors of a fairy here and hoped that she could help me here," Estrik said, still clutching the pastel drawing and walking into the water. "Things here are much different than where I traveled, I'm not used to so many, 'unique' people in one place," he said as he continued his trek into the lake, careful not to get the drawing wet. The water seemed to pierce his armor, which was odd, but it wasn't cold, it felt...good, almost like a perfect bath water. He continued into the center of the lake, heading towards the residual signs of a strong magic. He hoped that was the fairy.

"Oh," Angelus waited to see if the fairy would show itself. ------------------------------ In the center of the large pond, waves began to ripple out as though there had been a large rock that had just dropped from the sky and landed silently. The waves moved for about two minutes and then they finally stopped. A light shown from deep in the pond. The light grew brighter as its source rose to the top. When the light was blinding, a fairy emerged from the pond. Its winds were longer than most and it held a small wand in its left hand. The fairy quickly flew over to Estrik and Angelus. It hovered in front of Estrik and talked in a mystic and serene voice. "I sense you sorrow. What may Ethabella do for you?"

"I'm ready to move on, so I give you this," Estrik said as he held out the pastel drawing to the fairy that was flying about. "I heard that you bestow power, I think that my brother would rather me better myself than mope around about him," Estrik said, his eyes looked they blockaded a flood of tears. "Please, take it." He got down on one knee, still holding the drawing in the same position, and a tear began to form in his eye.

The fairy nodded and took the picture from Estrik. The fairy closed her eyes and hovered her hands over the picture. "Your brother was a good boy," she said. Apparently she knew something about the boy.
She then hovered her wand over the painting and it soon vanished. A swirling stream of light appeared around Estrik and he could feel a power running through him. The light soon vanished and the fairy spoke again. However, he voice had changed to that of Estrik's brother.
"It is okay," the fairy said. It was clear that the fairy seemed to be conveying a message from Estrik's dead brother, "I see you now. You are strong and should not be hindered by me. Go Estrik. The power that this fairy has given you is the power to see. Not to see the surrounding around you but rather to see me. You will always be able to see and talk to me whenever you want now. I will always be protecting you."
Ethabella seemed to be her normal self again. Without speaking another word, she quickly flew back into the pond.

((So, do I have like a guardian angel I can summon now?))
Estrik started to walk back towards the shore, and towards Angelus. "So, have you ever had that happen to you?" He asked with a smile on his face caused by the gift he had received from the fairy. He just hoped things would change between him and his past, but as much as he wanted to believe it, you can't change the past.
