“I never knew it could be this way.” Magina stared at the flowers growing all around them. He had hated magic for so long, he hadn't been able to imagine anything good or beautiful coming from it.

Kael had wanted to show him what magic could do since they had been together. Magina had been hesitant about it, not sure he would be able to see the outcome of magic and not hate Kael for doing it. He shouldn't have worried.

At the beginning of their relationship Kael had used as little magic as possible. Which was none, since he never used it for trivial things. But of course it was a part of his nature, part of him and Magina would never expect him to be someone he wasn't, in this case meaning not a mage.

But to see Kael use magic, while he was standing beside him, wasn't something he had ever wished for. Kael hadn't cared. He had taken Magina by the hand this morning, and teleported them into a desert. The teleport itself had been enough magic to leave Magina reeling a bit, the smell of it heavy in the air even minutes after they had arrived.

After giving him some time to get his bearings, Kael pulled Magina with him onto a dune. The sand was hot underneath his feet and the sun even hotter over his head. The air above the ground shimmered in the heat and when they had climbed the top of the dune, Magina was sweating.

They stopped there, Kael not saying a word, but still holding Magina's hand. He didn't seem to feel the heat, his face wasn't flushed, his robes were pristine as always and not a hair was out of place. Magic, Magina thought. But he was a little bit envious because he would've wished not to feel the heat like he did.

The three spheres that always circled around Kael's head changed their colour. It was normal and it indicated that the mage was about to cast a spell. He didn't look at Magina as he did so and Magina wondered what was about to happen. He was confused but he trusted Kael enough not to be worried.

After a few moments, the first flower grew. It appeared directly in front of Magina, first a small green leaf that got bigger and bigger, then a stem with a bud, which opened into a beautiful purple blossom with big petals. Then all around them flowers grew from the hot sand, one after the other, faster and faster, until there was a purple carpet all around them. Then there appeared butterflies, out of nowhere. Colourful creatures, small and big, dancing through the air and flying from flower to flower. The air became cooler, the sun wasn't as harsh anymore and suddenly they were in a clearing in the middle of an amazing forest. Big trees with fruit and blossoms, small animals, bushes, grass and still the purple flowers everywhere.

They hadn't teleported anywhere, Magina would've felt that. Kael had made a forest grow in the middle of the desert. Out of nothing, just with magic. It was only in that moment that Magina became aware of the smell of magic. Until then he had been too transfixed by what was happening around him that he hadn't noticed it.

But for the first time he didn't mind it one bit. Kael had created this with magic and it was beautiful. It was amazing.
