The idea in itself was not bad, only that if I told Guillermo he would say 'I go with you' and I did not know if that would be a good idea or not because if something happened at sea I had his support, but if more messages arrived he could read them, so I decided to enlarge the plan to teach Guillermo the advanced language and leave when the moon is at its highest point.
That day I was with Guillermo until late teaching him the correct translations, after nightfall I decided to go home and have some dinner and then with the moon at its highest point I would leave, the dragon just looked at me and after eating he asked me
Dragon of Light: Are you sure of what you have in mind?
While I finished my plate I paused a little and looked at him attentively while I said: I know that what I do is little but... I feel that I must do it.
I picked up the dishes and washed them and from there I decided to write a letter to my mother explaining what happened and that I needed her help.
When I was about to close the door of the house Cedric was in front of the house and in a low tone he asked: What are you doing?
For some reason I didn't panic when I heard his voice and I said: I must investigate about the mermaids and look for my daughter, I'm afraid she's in big trouble -after a pause I looked at him fixed and profiled my eyes while I said- I thought you had already gone to other lands, I guess you warned the bears?
He just looks at me and doesn't say anything, we went on like that for 10 minutes and I was losing my patience, when I was thinking to go on and ignore him a little jingle coming from my house called our attention, so I opened the door and turned on the living room light, Jack had copied me a letter message and Paula a text message where both said the same thing 'you must come home' while I was looking stunned and trying to call Paula I saw how Cedric read the letter and said
Cedric: we have to go.
My face although it was of astonishment and blushes only in my head passed the word 'we have' without letting me ask him he had invited himself, I wasn't mad at all but the idea is that you let one ask even if you have already decided, I decided to ignore the arrival of a curious anger and repeated to myself 'calm Zafi, sure he said it because he senses it's because of Kath... sure it's because of that, so it's normal and it's ok' I looked at him determined and nodded to his comment while I said
Me: I'm ready.
I took some coats and put the cell phone away.
