An interesting fresh start of someone’s life starts when one starts to think they have finally become independent and such a moment occurred in Magic’s life like magic. She started her new job as a set designer after years worth of struggle only being an intern employee.
“ wah, this is how freedom feels like,” said Magic while the warm breeze of autumn slid across her bob-cut hair while waiting for her only friend near the rooftop cafe of their office. “ WOW, you look so damn gorgeous” blurted out without thinking a second thought.
“ hehe, don’t flatter me when you look way prettier than me,” said Magic while caressing Money as if she was the lost unicorn that descended to the earth.
A smile came across Money’s face, that looked exactly like a baby papaya laughing.
After their work was done. Both being tired took the subway back to their apartment. Subway announcements slowly started to fade giving off an eerie feeling.
Magic got up to figure out what was going on….
To the dismay of Money……… Magic just vanished into thin air!!!
The unknown force of drift is powerful enough to make a person disappear right in front of Money’s eyes.
Magic was too astonished to be in a different reality she turned back to ask Money if she was the only one……… “Money…Money …. Is nowhere to be found”
Both Magic and Money were now in two completely different realities but still shared some kind of connection. They could sense each other and knew they were looking for a way to get back together.
The process was not easy for either of them the world Magic drifted is all about money and money, which put Magic into the despair of earning money is the only way to find Money.
On the other hand in this crazy coldness of snow and rain, Money started going around the subway to the home to the office only to realize the identity of Magic was erased as a whole like magic!……LIKE magic? “ huh wasn’t it autumn, why is it raining and snowing?” As Money glanced around her she realized kids on the street were testing out their magic abilities.
After learning the truth that magic is the only way to get Magic back to the place Money frantically started her journey to learn magic!
After searching and searching, Magic and Money finally found a way to come together again, only to find that the universe had changed them in the process. Magic was now an incredibly powerful criminal mastermind, and Money was an equally powerful vigilante.
One day, they were presented with the ultimatum: Either Magic kills Money, or Money kills Magic. Both of them have tried their best to talk their way out of it, but it seemed as though the universe wouldn’t let them off that easily.
In the end, Money made the heartbreaking decision to destroy the world with her magic to save Magic And so the world was destroyed the moment both Magic and Money met!
Money can still see the tears spilling from Magic’s eyes as the world was destroyed, only to realize they were never meant to meet in the first place!
As the world is vanishing both magic and money started to vanish from each other just like how their celestial body is perishing due to their greed!
There was nothing that was left, neither the world that separated Magic and Money nor the entity of magic and money!
The thoughts that Magic and Money had while vanishing was “I just wanted to live with her”
Morale of the story: In a world where people are behind money, they forget the magic that’s there with with them! Remember there is no money without magic. (Quite literally)
