“Okay, so once you say this spell, you’ll be taken to your first destination. I have prepared a spell for each destination of choice. If you decide not to use one of the spells and just wing it, that’s also an option. Basically, go out and do whatever you want.”

Juliska nodded that she understood. Though a bit apprehensively.

“Now, if something should happen and you wish to return here, or the six weeks are up and it’s time to return, this is the spell to bring you back. You should be aware, that the spell brings you just outside my estate. As there is only one way in and out. I will have to let you back in, and I will know the moment you arrive.”

She nodded that she understood.

“Juliska...”

She eyed him.

“Take a breath.”

“Sorry. I guess I’m a bit nervous.”

“To be expected. But what is life without a little adventure?”

She grasped onto her bag. It was small, a handbag really. But it fit everything inside she might need. Magic was truly a wondrous thing. Although once out of these walls and in the non-magical world, she was on her own and could not use magic.

“So where did you pick first?” asked Fazendiin. “Wait... you know what? Don’t tell me. If you choose to upon returning, you can do so then. Good luck. Safe travels.” He backed away to let her leave.

Juliska picked her first spell. Her first destination. She had trouble choosing so she just randomly picked one. A place called Paris. She spoke the spell, looked up to see Fazendiin’s grin fade from view, and a blink later found herself inside another room.

It was light, airy, open and sunny... she spun around and around.

Fazendiin had told her each spell would take her to a hotel. She’d read about them, but they had no use for them on the island.

He had booked all her accommodations and provided her with enough human money to stay wherever she pleased. Eat whatever she wanted. Travel wherever she wanted and basically do anything her heart desired.

A window.

She darted over, flabbergasted at the sight. A bustling city. Filled with cars... something she’d only ever seen in books before. Loads of people milling about. Streets lined with cafes. People laughing. Talking. Enjoying each other’s company. And speaking in a language she did not understand. She pulled out another spell Fazendiin had given her. Supposedly, this would allow her to not only understand other languages, but speak them as well.

The world awaited her exploration.

There was a slight ping in her chest.

Anxiety over going out there alone. For a fleeting moment, she wondered what it would be like to do this kind of thing with Eddy. He wouldn’t be afraid. He’d step right out the door. She buried the guilt over enjoying this moment.

“That’s all you have to do,” she whispered. “Open the door, leave this room and go out there.”

She did. Without further hesitation.

She went to many cities, all around the world. Soaking up history and culture, trying new food.
