The savior wizard

Owen's P.O.V.

'I have nothing to wear!' I'm literally scared right now. I have no good clothes that I can wear for an interview. And I have a life-changing interview today.

"Oh please... Who cares about that stupid interview? We are going out with our mate, I suggest you wear something appropriate for a date. How about a tight T-shirt and skinny jeans. Show him your curves and you can wear something special under that." Vlad said as he winked with a smirk.

"Stop it, you perv. We are not gonna do anything like that tomorrow and I said to you we are not going out; he is just dropping me off. And I do care about the interview. So, if you are just gonna make those lewd comments then sew your mouth. I need to think." I said, he has been teasing me like that since yesterday morning. He is such a simp.

"Whatever you say party-pooping Cinderella." He said and made that pff sound at the end.

"Btw I'm sorry you have not been out for five years because I could not change and now that I can, we have no time for you to come out and play. I promise after this interview I'll let you take over." I said, I really feel bad for Vlad, he has not taken over for five years and I postponed it two days.

"It's fine, I know you had so much to prepare for this interview. But If you will not let me take over after that, I'm gonna take over by force." He threatened me. And then we both started to laugh. And that's how he ended our conversation.

'Okay, now think wen. Think. What can I do now? Who should I go for help-' I was thinking? When I realized that I have only one choice. Jess. Yes, my only option for help is a wizard living illegally in the creepy hell woods for five years.

I went to dark wood and I had no problem finding my way to Jess's place more like heaven because I remembered a little from my visit last time and I could also pick up my and his scent from the path we traveled. Thanks to the speed of werewolves in a few minutes I was standing in front of the lake he made me jump into last time. Well, it's not actually a lake but you know. I know what will happen, I'll jump and I'll open my eyes in heaven.

I close my eyes and jump. Wait! Why do I feel wet? I feel like I'm underwater. I opened my eyes and I really was underwater. What happened? Did I go to the wrong lake? I'm pretty sure I went in the right direction though. Then did heaven disappear? Does it move around? I started to swim upwards and when I got my head out I saw a giant relic. It's the same relic I saw before. That means I'm at Jess's place. And I heard someone laughing. I turned around and saw jess laughing hard that it was hard for him to breathe.

"You...You...should look the look on your face." He said holding his stomach. "Aa..AA... My cheeks hurt." He added placing his hands on his cheeks.

"Dude...What the hell!" I said, I was a little irritated. He helped me get out of the small pond but he was still laughing the same way. "How did a pond suddenly appear here? What did you do?" I asked.

"I know whenever someone enters the dark woods and I saw you enter, I wanted to surprise you." He was still laughing the same. "You were scared, weren't you? It's hilarious." He added. He was choking.

"Well, Not funny for me," I said.

He waved his hand and the water in the pond evaporated and then the dirt flowed into the pond filling it. It was like the pond was never there.

"Come on let's go." He said and we started walking to his cottage/villa. I was looking around the entire way. You can never get tired of this place. "By the way what brings you here today?" He asked.

"Um...I need your help." I said.

"Duh." He said sarcastically.

"I have this interview tomorrow and I have nothing to wear. So I was thinking if you could help me with that." I was feeling shy.

"Do you think I'm a tailor? How am I supposed to help you?" He chuckled.

"Well, with your magic?" I replied.

"Magic is not a sewing machine, it does not work like that." He replied, he was laughing. Like I'm the dumbest person he has ever seen. "But I know a person who can help you with that." He added.

"Wait! You know a person?" I was surprised.

"Of course, I know a person. What did you think just because I live in the woods I'm all alone? I know people and I too have a job just like anyone else." He replied. I hope he is not offended.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that," I said apologetically.

"It's fine. I know you didn't mean it like that." He said with a soft smile.

"By the way, what is your job? Where do you work?" I was curious.

"Why don't we first sit at my place." He said as we already reached the cottage.

I sat on the couch, the same couch I was lying naked with my body covered in the green paste. I suddenly was feeling embarrassed.

"I'll get you something to drink." He said and went into the kitchen.

He came out with two mugs filled with golden thick liquid. It looked just like melted gold. It was sparkling and hot. I took a sip and hundreds of aromas filled my mouth and nostrils. It was like I was levitating in the middle of a rainforest. And it was showering. The herbs were spreading their unique smell everywhere. Birds were chirping and I felt peaceful. My body was calming down. All the tiredness, fatigue, and tension were wearing off me as the hot liquid went down in my stomach. It was sweet and spicy at the same time, it was heavenly.

"Omg... It is amazing. What is it?" I asked, I could not stop drinking it.

"It is Golden milk. It is so delicious and also very beneficial for your health." He replied.

"Wait golden mean you put gold in the milk?" I asked. I was again curious.

"No. No. It is milk with turmeric which gives it the golden color and there are many more herbs in it too." He replied.

"Wow...You make the best drinks." I replied.

"Well, that's my job. There is this local restaurant in the neighboring human town that has a bar that sells nonalcoholic beverages. I work there as a bartender." He said.

"You work in a human town?" How many secrets does this man have?

"Yes, it's easy to merge with them as they cannot sense my magic. And as a wizard, I know my way around potions and drinks too. So, I'm pretty popular and that helps me make more money. You know the owner favors me because I bring in the cash." I looked proud.

"Well, someone is exaggerating. But why am I not surprised." I teased him. "By the way what else can you do with your magic?" I asked.

"Um. You see, magic is like controlling the flux of nature. It is nothing complex. It is like you use your hand to pick up things and move them around. Anything, in nature, has energy, and when I say nature, I mean anything living, dead, artificial anything that exists. Mostly any wizard or witch can control any one thing in nature. Like, water, air, etc. I can control the flux of life." He was explaining everything.

"Wait! When you say life you mean you can kill anyone and bring the dead back to life?" I was shocked and scared. How powerful is he?

"Yes and no. I can kill someone and I cannot bring the dead back to life. But I can do much more than that. I can heal, I can control the feelings of the people and as I can control the flux of life, I can control any living creature. Remember when I beat you up, I can do that because every cell in your body is a living object and by controlling them properly, I can make you do anything. Also, I can see the future, I cannot see it clearly but as I can understand the feeling of people I can feel how they would feel in the future and sometimes get visions too." He was talking like it was not a big deal. "Well, I have not seen any wizard or witch other than me who can control the flux of life. It is rare. I was able to learn about my magic only because the wizard and witches who had a similar power wrote about them in books and I was able to get a few of them." He stopped, he seemed proud.

"But if you can only control the life, how were you able to evaporate the water and filled that hole back then today?" I was curious.

"It is basic magic. I can control other things too but not that much as I can just fill a hole in the ground but the wizard who can control the earth would be able to move around continents if he is powerful enough." He said. "However, you need thousands of years to master such skills and no one lives that long." He added. This is getting scary now. "Also, there are some magics that any wizardor witch can perform like making potions."

"OMG...How POWERFUL WIZAD CAN BE?" I was scared.

"Well there is no limit to our power but it comes with a prize. You must keep the balance. Like if I want to heal someone who is wounded, I must take as much energy from somewhere that I use to heal someone. So, the larger the scale of magic the more powerful source of energy is required." He replied. "And controlling such a large amount can also kill the wizard if he is not dexterous enough." He answered. "So, no one uses such magics." He added. "That's enough for now, let's go. you wanted to buy clothes." He said and stood up waiting for me, but I was too shocked.

"Let's go." It took me a few seconds to grab hold of myself.
