Chapter 0491 L’s POV \ “Oh, my goddess; did you hear what happenedst night?” Kay asked as she ran up to Ba and me in the dining hall.


    I''had a tray of food she almost knocked '' over in the process of grabbing my arm excitedly.


    “What''s up?” I asked, trying not to sound too annoyed with her. Looking at her excited face though, the annoyance melted away. € “Everybody got their powers back!” She nearly screamed and on cue, others started pping excitedly around her.


    “Everybody?” I asked, raising my brows, and looking around.


    “All the witches, and those with y abilities,” she answers, “Yes!”


    , “That''s incredible!” Ba said, mimicking my thoughts, “Thank i goodness for that.” A “Yeah,” I agreed, relieved that everything was restored to normal.


    “Yup,” she said, her eyes twinkling with happiness. “And I know how it l happened.” I I raised my brows at her as we made our way through the dining hall and toward an empty table, the only other table avable.


    “Do tell,” I said, sitting down beside Ba.


    Kay sat in front of me and leaned in close, lowering her voice so only we could hear her.


    “It’s the guardian of the earth,” Kay said,pletely and utterly surprising me. Of / course, I knew that the guardian was involved, but how did Kay?


    “The guardian of the earth?” Ba asked, looking at me and then back at Kay. “Who is that?” ￠ “She’s our earth mother,” Kay exined simply. “She’s the protector of the earth; like the ground we stand on. As a forest fairy, we worship her like a goddess. We work closely with the guardian and her orb children. I can sense her magic a mile away and this is definitely her magic.” “If she protects the earth, then why would she restore your magic?” Ba asked, taking a bite of her spaghetti.


    “I’m assuming whatever took our magic was also hurting the earth,” Kay said, shrugging. “Her earth.” My stomach clenched; I knew exactly what was hurting the earth. It was darkness and I also knew the guardian \ wasn’t going to be able to keep darkness away for long. Even Aura said that ''- darkness would grow and soon her barriers wouldn''t be strong enough to


    keep it out.


    ? “I''wonder what was hurting the earth,” I Ba breathed, and I could hear the- worry in her tone.


    “Whatever it is, the guardian is protecting us from it,” Kay said, a smile nted on her lips. “Thank goddess for.


    her. I don’t know what we''d do without her. But I''m so happy that our magic is back!” “That’s really incredible,” I said, trying to give her a non-bothered smile.


    I''looked down at my own te of spaghetti, suddenly not hungry. I was too worried about this darkness that’s been conjured. But I didn’t want to tell them this because it would only worry them and cause the school to go into a frenzy.


    “Are you okay, L?” Ba asked, furrowing her brows at me.


    "~ Iblinked a couple of times and looked at


    her.


    ? “Yeah, of course,” I''m just thinking about themittee. — “Oh, right. We have a meeting tonight, right?” Kay asked, excitedly.

    “Actually, we need some more members before we start any meetings. I was going to go around campus after lunch and post some fliers,” I told them.


    I grabbed my backpack from under the table and rummaged through it until I came across a man folder; within the folder held the stack of fliers. I handed I one to Ba and another to Kay so they could read them.


    “Anyone wanting to be amittee member can seek our L, the president of the club, after dinner hours in the . student lounge,” Ba read.


    “She will be there until curfew;e join a funmittee with awesome people


    , and help make this school incredible,” Kay finished.


    } \ “Ilike it,” Ba said with an approved smile. “I can help put fliers up once we are done eating.”
