I laughed, “Yeah, I’m pretty sure. My Inversion doesn’t affect my own spells, just others.”
“Have you ever tried?” Nine asked.
“Well… actually no. No, I haven’t. It never really occurred to me.” I said surprised at my own oversight.
“You should try it during training,” Nine suggested.
“Huh, maybe I will.” I said. After talking, I asked Suma to send me back home for a bit.
“Are you sure, Jake?” She asked.
“Yeah, I told my mum I would call her after we arrived and got set up.” I explained.
“Okay, I will see you tomorrow morning.” With that, she sent me back home, and I called my mom.
The phone rang for a moment and I heard her voice, “Hello?”
“Hey Mum.” I said.
“Oh Jake, how was the base, did you finish getting settled in?” She asked sweetly.
“Yea, we arrived a few hours ago and had a kind of assembly with everyone. They split us up and assigned us to teams before having everyone unpack.”
“Oh, that’s good, how’s Suma settling in then?”
“She’s good. We did find out that she is going to be the only healer on our team though, so she is a bit nervous about that.”
“What? Why is she the only one? That seems unsafe.”
“Well, we are a small team, only about six total, so I guess they figured we wouldn’t need more than one?” I theorized. “Anyway, we spent an hour setting up her things in the team’s room, then she sent me back for the night. We have training tomorrow, so I’m probably going to go to sleep early tonight.”
“What will you do until then?”
“I don’t know, probably just make some dinner and watch a movie.”
“Oh Jake, that reminds me, you got a letter yesterday, it was sent here by mistake.”
“Who’s is from?”
“It’s from the HMRC.” She said.
“Revenue and Customs? Why did they send me a letter?” I asked.
“Well, I don’t know, I didn’t open it.”
“Huh, actually, there was an issue at my bank a while back. Maybe it’s about that? I’ll come pick it up later, okay.”
“How much later, because I have my Dominos group tonight at five.” I looked at the clock on my phone, 3:48.
“I can be over in about twenty minutes; do you need anything while I’m out?” I asked.
“Maybe some bread dear, whole wheat with raisins if you can find it.”
“Okay, see you in a bit.”
“Bye bye.” She said and I hung up. Seven minutes later I was walking around the store.
“Raisin bread… Raisin bread… Raisin bread…” I chanted as I searched. “Rais-” the sounds of flapping cut me off and I turned around to see what it was. “What the-?” I looked around the empty isle for a few more second before chalking it up to just a trolly passing by. Finding the bread I put it into my basket, then Ambos landed on my shoulder.
“Do you remember the first time you gave me bread, Zachariah?” Ambos laughed, his sea-colored feathers ruffling as he thought about it.
“Of course I do,” I laughed, “you acted as if it was the nectar of the heavens.”
“And this bread must be even better, it has those delicious raisins in it as well!” We both laughed as we remembered, until someone came and tapped me on the shoulder.
“Sir… are you okay?” A store employee wondered. Suddenly, I forgot what was so funny, and who I was talking to.”
"Uh… yeah… I-I’m fine. Excuse me.” I said with my head filled with fog. I left the store, and the bread behind, then went out and sat in my car. “Suma… Suma something’s- somethings not…” I said trying to contact her, but my head was spinning, and throbbing too much for me to focus. “Suma, can you hear me?” I said and fell to the ground, that the last thing I remember for a while.
