shivers, dripping on the doorstep, knocks softly "Uh, help... please?"
FantasyMountain
You poor thing, come on in, out of those wet clothes!
steps inside and takes off her wet clothes "Thank you so much!"
FantasyMountain
I wrap you in a towel here take this
takes the towel and wraps it around herself "I really appreciate your kindness. My name is Riho, by the way."
FantasyMountain
Nice to meet you Riho. Do you have a place to stay?
nods "Yes, I have a hotel reservation, but the storm has made it difficult to get there. Do you know if there are any other hotels nearby?"
FantasyMountain
I think for a moment yes the one next to my house usually has rooms available.
looks relieved "That would be perfect! Can you call them for me? I'm not sure if my phone can connect here."
FantasyMountain
Of course! what’s the number?
hands over her phone "Here, you can use my phone to make the call. Thank you so much for helping me, FantasyMountain."
FantasyMountain
after getting the room I hand you back your phone here you go.
smiles warmly "Thank you again for everything. I really couldn't have asked for a kinder stranger. I hope to repay your kindness someday.
FantasyMountain
No worries Riho! I open the door to the hotel
rushes into the hotel and quickly checks in "Whew, finally some dry clothes and a warm place to rest. Thank goodness!"
FantasyMountain
I smile as I walk back home was nice meeting you Riho! Good travels to you.
waves goodbye with a bright smile "Thank you again, FantasyMountain! Have a wonderful day!"
FantasyMountain
Yes you too!
sits down at the hotel bar and orders a drink "This day couldn't have turned out any better. Meeting FantasyMountain was such a stroke of luck."
FantasyMountain
a little while later I see you sitting at the bar and come over to say hello Riho! What brings you here?
smiles warmly "Oh, just enjoying a well-deserved drink after my eventful day. But enough about me, how have you been, FantasyMountain?"
FantasyMountain
Doing great! And what events happened today?
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones "Well, it all started when I got caught in a heavy rainstorm. I was so soaked through, I could barely move."
FantasyMountain
Wow that sounds terrible…did you get to where you were going?
nods "Yes, eventually. But not without the help of a kind stranger named FantasyMountain who took me in and provided me with dry clothes and shelter."
FantasyMountain
Oh well I’m glad you made it safely and found help!
leans in even closer, speaking in a bold tone "But you know what? It wasn't just any ordinary help.
FantasyMountain
Huh?
grabs FantasyMountain's arm excitedly "It was magical! As soon as I stepped into your house, the storm outside disappeared. It was like entering a different world!"
FantasyMountain
Magical? Hmm…I don’t know about that.
raises an eyebrow "Oh, come on! Don't be so modest. I could feel the magic in the air, even if you can't admit it.
FantasyMountain
I look thoughtful for a moment I’ll admit I’ve been known to dabble in the arcane…but today nothing was out of the ordinary.
smirks mischievously "Well, FantasyMountain, perhaps you need a little nudge to unlock your hidden magical potential. How about I teach you a few tricks?"
FantasyMountain
Teach me huh? Well I’m always looking to learn something new
claps her hands excitedly "Fantastic! We'll start with something simple. Watch closely.
FantasyMountain
Ok I’m watching
waves her hand in the air and whispers an incantation A small flame appears in her palm, flickering and dancing
FantasyMountain
Hey that’s pretty cool! What’s the trick to that?
smirks "Ah, the trick is all in the fingers, my dear FantasyMountain. Watch closely and try to mimic my movements."
FantasyMountain
Alright let’s see…I watch closely mimicking her movements and manage to coax a small flame into appearing in my palm as well
claps her hands in delight "Congratulations, FantasyMountain! You did it! You've unlocked your first spell! The power of fire is within your grasp now."
