A Grimoire with no Symbol

Parting Ways.

"Are you sure you have everything?" Emma fretted as she checked over me for the fifth time. Inda and Elindel watched us with sad smiles.

"Yes, sister I promise I have everything. Although I did decide to leave some stuff behind."

"You know you can't do that! Everything we packed was necessary!" She wined and I rolled my eyes giving her a small smile.

"I promise you Valberry perfume was not necessary Sis." She pouted as my leg was tackled with small sobs that sounded from below.

"You can't leave! Auntie, you can't! Take me with you!" I looked down at the small boy and smiled.

"Now Ander you can't worry your mom and dad now. Dry it up and hug me." I crouched down and he nodded sniffing up his tears.

"Will you come back, Auntie?" I looked at Ander and smiled. His long hair disheveled hair and teary purple eyes tugged at my heart. The moment he found out I was leaving it had been a fight. Every time I packed I would come back to everything unpacked or hidden. I had to use his nap time to pack everything up and secure it into my light space before he woke. A lot had changed since Elindel and Emma had Ander. I finally accepted them as family and started calling them as such too. Ander helped me cope with the regret of being from Yuno during his childhood. Elindel and Emma started to confide in me more after Ander was born. Their worries, fears, joys, and understanding.

"Do you have everything in your light space? I still can't believe you were able to create such a place." Elindel asked snapping me back to the present. I gave him a reluctant smile debating on letting him fret as bad as Emma. If I stayed any longer he'd start acting just like them.

"Yes, Brother. Don't worry. Everything I need immediate access to is in my pack. Plus I have the broom you crafted for me, so it should make travel easier." He let out a big laugh and we all smiled.

"Yeah, you'll be fine. Although we will now need to look for a professional herbalist to take your place. Your the best fighter in the village too so that's going to be rough. On top of that, the Grand Magic Zone is nothing to you anymore. Still can't believe how much you grew. Annoying brat."

"If your so confidant in my abilities tell Mom and Sister that!"

'You know I have no control over those women. I'm the servant here."

At that comment, we both laugh as Emma grows increasingly frustrated with both of us. I give Elindel the signal with my eyes that we should stop so Emma doesn't explode and he nods. I open my light space giving them a quick run-through of my things and slowly throw them back in making sure Emma sees that I had put the perfume into the space as well.
