2 The Moonlight

"RAAWWRR!"

The gust of fire that came out of the black dragon's nose made Cassandra hide behind her father's robe. The lesson to use the black dragon is one of the things that Cassandra hates and avoids the most.

Madam Rosaline would usually ask Cassandra to fly on a broomstick while being chased by a black dragon. The purpose of this learning is to improve the reflexes and speed of Cassandra, who tends to be old and weak.

"Come on, Cassandra! Your flying broom is waiting there," said Madam Resaline, grinning at Cassandra.

"Why do I have to do this again? Last time I fell hard enough between the Calicil trees and I almost got eaten by that horrible tree! I don't like this lesson, Madam!" Cassandra shrieked as she tightly gripped the Aether robe.

Madam Rosaline smiled widely, then spread her arms and in an instant, the fat body turned into a giant red-legged eagle.

"Hurry up, Cassandra! You don't want Madam Rosaline torn apart, do you?!"

Cassandra almost cried with fright when she saw the look in the eyes of Madam Rosaline's incarnate eagle who was ready to pull her from above.

'Damn it! I absolutely hate all these lessons! I wish I lived in a white world!' Cassandra muttered in her heart. Inevitably, this girl immediately removed her hand from her father's robe, she walked slowly towards the broomstick that lay in the middle of the large castle courtyard, the place where the black dragon resided.

Her legs trembled slightly as she looked at the tall and tightly closed cavity of the castle gate. The faint shadows and eyes of the black dragon could be seen watching her. The sound of the breath was heard very clearly.

"Your daughter is really slow! Sorry Aether, I have to do this!" said Madam Rosaline, she then pointed her hand at Cassandra.

In a moment, Cassandra immediately felt her body being pushed rapidly towards the broom and immediately climbed on the dark brown broom.

KRANNG!

The sound of the gate opening made Cassandra panic even more, just wanted to cry, the black dragon had already let out a terrible sound and flew straight to Cassandra.

'KYA!'

Cassandra immediately moved her broom to avoid the black dragon's pursuit. From below, Aether and Madam Rosaline were grinning broadly at the sight of the child who had entered the core of the lesson.

"RAWWRGHH!"

"NO! STOP IT, BLACK DRAGON! I AM NOT AN EVIL!"

Cassandra muttered under her breath, but as if she could hear Cassandra's words, the black dragon grew louder and louder. Cassandra turned to the dragon and saw that they were really close.

"CASSANDRA, WATCHING IN FRONT OF YOU!"

The scream from Aether made Cassandra immediately avert her eyes and screamed loudly because she almost hit one of the towers in the castle. With her mediocre abilities, Cassandra managed to dive upwards following the direction of the castle like a rocket that was about to launch.

"NO! I CAN DIE! I CAN'T!" Cassandra shouted loudly.

The cheers from Aether and Madam Rosaline could reach her ears, they were delighted when Cassandra could fly straight and looked so dashing. Just note, Cassandra is usually only able to fly at a height of three to five feet.

Cassandra moved her broom again, this time she who was already at the tip of the pointed roof of the castle chose to the right, but just as she was about to aim the broomstick a bit low, suddenly from the front she saw two people in black robes flying with their arms stretched out. Because of that, Cassandra immediately swerved to the left which caused herself to crash into an old Wollen tree.

"KYA!"

Bruk!

Cassandra's body hit the tree with a strong force, the broom she was riding was instantly broken in two. Cassandra didn't remember anything, her dizzy head instantly caused her to faint. All that remained in her head was the image of a black dragon swooping down after her.

"Cassandra… Cassandra! I brought your order!"

The strange and cute voice entered Cassandra's ears, she slowly opened her eyes and found that Gomiko was standing on her chest carrying a red box with a yellow ribbon with a star pattern.

"Gomiko… where am I?" Cassandra asked, her voice hoarse. She is still unconscious after being given sleeping pills by her parents after the incident this morning.

"In your room of course!" Gomiko replied.

Cassandra looked around, the luxurious room seemed to clearly illustrate that she had indeed returned to her beloved room. Her head still felt dizzy, but her heart was also quite happy because the eighteenth wand had arrived in front of him.

"I thought I was dead. You know, this morning, I had a strange and terrible incident, Gomiko…"

"What happened?"

Cassandra forced herself to get up, sending Gomiko flying straight off her chest. Her head still feeling light, she then opened the red box and took out a white stick with golden wooden roots coiled from end to end. The smile widened, she was mesmerized by the beauty of the stick.

Cassandra had not answered Gomiko's question, she preferred to point the wand at the bright moon.

"Give me your power, moon!" Cassandra exclaimed.

The young girl slowly swung her wand while chanting a white magic spell that read, "Azios Ratauka!"

From the tip of the wand appeared a bright light that was pleasing to the eye. Cassandra then threw the light at the bed. She chanted the same incantation five times, so that there were five lights flying in his room.

"Moonlight! I really like them, look at the beauty they give!" Cassandra shrieked with joy. She put the wand back into the box and put it under the pillow.

The light does look beautiful, making the ambience of her room warm, as if in the middle of a forest accompanied by fireflies.

"They are so beautiful! I've never seen this before, Cassandra!" said Gomiko who was also amazed. The creature's eyes looked round and big, making him even more adorable.

"I know them from the white magic book I bought five years ago. The only spell I memorized and learned, before the book was finally burned by my father, I--."

Cassandra suddenly frowned and turned towards the door, her ears could quite clearly hear footsteps from outside. Instantly her face became panicked and looked at Gomiko, then said, "That's my father, Gomiko! I know! The sound came from the unicorn leather shoes! How about this?! I can't get rid of this moonlight! They only disappeared after five hours!"

"You are so stupid Cassandra! What should we do now, you will die this time!" Gomiko said sarcastically.

TOK.. TOK.. TOK….

The sound of knocking on the door in Cassandra's room could be heard clearly, making the girl even more panicked. Cassandra swallowed her saliva, then she looked at the moonlight and Gomiko alternately. Instantly a brilliant idea flashed through her head.

"Gomiko! Swallow the moonlight! They don't hurt! Please!"

TOK… TOK… TOK…

The sound of a second knock on the door sounded again, Cassandra looked at Gomiko with concern. The furry creature shook its head, he was about to refuse, but Cassandra's already panicked hand quickly grabbed the creature's body and thrust it towards the flying moon essence.

"Three times the special grape from the mountains, I will give you tomorrow!"

Cassandra pressed Gomiko's face and made her like a hairy vacuum cleaner. In an instant, the entire moon essence managed to enter Gomiko's mouth. His face looks bloated, Cassandra wants to laugh but she doesn't have time anymore because the knock on the door for the third time has been heard. The girl immediately threw Gomiko towards the window and then, she immediately lay back down on her bad, while acting fast asleep.
