Sometimes we want to escape or postpone the responsibilities we take on. At times, we ignore them and pretend they don't exist. While this can save time, it can also lead to disaster, and we become entangled in complications. If I were to tell you about the wonders of water, a nation could build a new utopia with this knowledge, or like me, one might only use as much as is useful. For example, water has memory; it does not forget its flow direction, but it can get confused. When you split the path of water you have created, it may lose its way and change its mind. Thus, a bond forms between you, and you take on responsibility. At the same time, water has its own ideas. You can shape and manipulate it. Or you can do what I say is best, but don’t do what I do.

Emotiflora:The element flower that holds emotions hidden in the water sphere keeps the manipulated emotion stable.

From Merlin's Perspective in the Morning:

Waking up with the first light of morning always motivates me to have a vibrant and energetic day. Today, I will go to a hospital that Dr. Quinlan has established for special children. There, I have a small match agreement with my very good student, Oliver Carpenter, whom I will mentor. We are both skilled at playing chess; I am the master, and he is learning in a way. It is difficult to describe what goes on in this hospital, which houses orphans without families and children from wealthy families who struggle to care for them, all of whom can be considered abandoned. Fortunately, they are able to cope because they possess special talents.

Here is the translation of the text to English:

"Oliver is a young mind and talent, and since we met, we have been like brothers. Most of the time, he comes out of that idiots' hospital and joins me in the forest, learning many things from me. Today's plan is to have that big match we agreed on beforehand; the little guy thought he was good enough and proposed a challenge. Seeing him so brave and confident made me proud.

Alvin, Luna, Alpha, and I had set out to meet up and head there, and as you can guess, it was one of our usual fun journeys.

Alvin: Can we keep the music steady? My brain is turning to mush.

Luna: Someone seems to be hungry.

Merlin: Did you not give him a bone before he came out, Luna? *laughs*

Alvin: I'm the clown of this group, Merlin; let's not change roles.

Alpha: Hey Merlin, how are the sessions with Harley going? The council is curious if he’s making any progress.

Luna: Yes, you’ve been with him for weeks; is there any development?

Alvin: I would prefer to have a pet cat.

All together: Alvin!!

Alvin: Okay, okay.

Merlin: I actually believe he can be tamed, but I guess that’s not the question you’re asking.

Alpha: Do you think he could turn into a demon?

Merlin: If you work a piece of iron, it shines and doesn’t rust; it takes the shape you want, it’s something like that.

Alvin: So, does that mean Harley will be a pot?

Luna: No, the best ones are made by the Ankars, my dear; I think he’ll be a shield.

Alpha: That’s definitely nonsense; it can’t be both.

Merlin: Actually, if he wants to, even with just the thought, he could be both. *laughs* Anyway, to get back to our topic, what I mean is he is making good progress, at least in his own way.

Alpha: He worked hard in front of the council, and he needs to prove himself at least for this year.

Merlin: I will do my best to make this go well; it’s my responsibility.

Alvin: And here we are, welcome to the lunatics' hospital!"

Here is the translation of the text to English:

Alpha: I wonder if he searched this place a lot?

Luna: I really don't think so; the man has built a wall of trees around him. I wonder what's inside.

Alvin: There are children.

Merlin: Very special children, and Oliver is one of them. Don't worry; I'm sure you'll love him when you get to know him.

We drove the car through the energy portal and moved to the place we designed like a picnic area.

Alvin: Oh my God! What is this place, the land of hobbits?

Luna: I hope Sauron can't find us here (Dr. Quinlan).

Alpha: Seriously, Merlin, what is this place?

Merlin: Is anyone even listening to me? We built this place with Oliver to hide from Dr. Quinlan and to teach him some things while spending time together.

Alvin: So where is this famous Oliver?

Luna: I'm curious too.

Alpha: How does he know when and how to get out of that building?

Merlin: As I told you, he is a special child, and one of his abilities is Electrokinesis.

Alvin: You must be joking; is he Flash?

Luna: I always knew there would be a superhero among us, but this is really interesting.

Alpha: So, when is the wizard boy coming?

Merlin: You all sit down *points to the wooden benches* and look at the sky.

Oliver: No need for all that show, my friend; I'm right here.

Alpha: Oh, get the hell out of here! *is surprised*

Alvin: Can he teleport? *curious*

Luna: This is really incredible.

Oliver: First of all, Bonjour jeune demoiselle *kisses Luna's hand in greeting*.

Merlin: Alvin, we can see the smoke coming out of your head; don't be jealous; he's just a kid.

Luna: A gentlemanly child, yes. *laughs*

Oliver: Don't worry; he's not my type.

Alpha: Hahaha Luna 0 Alvin 1.

Luna: Merlin, could he be a fool?

Merlin: Good guess, but no.

Oliver: And hello to you too.

Alvin: Bonjour, young lady, but is this just a simple hello? I didn't like this kid.

Alpha: I think he's quite a good guy. *laughs*

Merlin: Hahaha

Oliver: I don't have much time; I need to get back to the facility. Can we speed this up?

Merlin: Right now, come on, take your place. *points to the table*

In the middle of the match

Alvin: Merlin looks tense, his eyes on the Elephant, ready to make a move, while Oliver looks confident, checking the timer as he waits for Merlin to make his move.

Luna: This is really bad; it's very likely that Merlin will be checkmated in one move.

Alpha: I hope that doesn't happen. May Amarok protect us.

Alvin: No way! *looks with fear and horror*

Oliver: Check and mate!

Merlin: No, no, no, no! This is unacceptable; you cheated! You were sure I would play that move, and you deliberately threatened me!

Oliver: I played the game by the rules, and no, if I wanted to threaten you, I would have done it from a very different angle.

Merlin: You tricked me; you didn't play fairly! *slams his hand on the table*

Oliver: Not being able to accept defeat is a primal reaction; I'm sorry, I can't understand it.

Alpha: Isn't he human?

Alvin: He doesn't look like a Heiliant, does he?

Merlin: Oh my god, why am I even trying? I was enjoying teaching you things, but I guess it's time for you to go your own way.

Oliver: I can't understand some emotions, but I can see that you're angry. You're a good teacher, but you have things to learn.

Luna: Oh my god, selfish maniacs, let's get out of here.

Alpha: After you.

They return home, and Merlin goes to the cabin in the woods. At that moment, his nerves fray, and he starts to emit lightning around him. Seeing this, Harley approaches him.

*After the previous chapter has taken place*

Every passing day, I felt like I was being engulfed by an unwanted emotion. It's hard to describe; it feels like your heart is being crushed by a heavy stone. Whenever I got close to Harley, this was how I felt; I liked him, but it seemed that wasn't enough for him. Most of the time during training, sometimes things went well, but sometimes he succumbed to his instincts and became wild.

Each time, I showed him the good and beautiful sides; even though he could be ruthless in the simplest things, I comforted him by saying that he could embrace it and make things right. But I didn't know how much that would help; after all, I had promised Alpha that he wouldn't turn into a demon...

I loved the flowers he brought me; they smelled wonderful and weren't just any flowers picked up randomly. He always presented them to me with care and a magical atmosphere, and I had placed them all around my room. I loved the energy they gave me; taking care of them made me feel good. My only wish was for Harley to be a good Heiliant as well.

Who knows, maybe he would notice the love inside me and learn to see the good with that love. Even though he sometimes acted very toxic and like those attention-seeking girls, I felt that deep down, he wasn't like that. After he left my side, I sat for a while and thought about this; what he made me feel was very different, and I liked it. I needed to explain this to Alpha; hearing it from me would minimize the risk. And of course, we had a bet, so considering that, what could possibly go wrong?

Two Weeks Later

Luna: Merlin, these flowers are so beautiful.

Merlin: They are very precious to me, Moon Daughter, gifts from someone I love.

Luna: Is this lucky girl Harley? *grins*

Merlin: Uh, well, yes *smiles*.

Luna: Oh, what a silly question, of course it's Harley, but I was so surprised when she first revealed it, I never would have thought you two.

Merlin: I was surprised too, but you see, here we are.

Alvin suddenly enters the room.

Alvin: Merlin!

Merlin: Calm down, werewolf, what happened? *laughs*

Luna: Don't worry, I'm here.

Alvin: My beautiful love, of course you're here, but—

Merlin: Your eyes are wide open, what happened? Tell me.

Alvin: You need to get rid of those flowers, Merlin, as soon as possible.

Merlin: Why?

Alvin: You need to trust me, my friend, they are affecting you.

Luna: Honey, if you don't explain what's going on, this is going to be very difficult. They are Harley's gifts, and Merlin is taking care of them like his own eyes.

Merlin: Exactly, they have feelings too, my friend, I can't just throw them away.

Alvin: *gets angry* Can't you just trust me for once and not question it? Just once?!

Merlin: Hey, hey, calm down, tough wolf, I’m not going to just throw away my flowers because you want me to.

Alvin: You know what, don’t say I didn’t warn you later. *exits angrily*

Luna: Can I look into your heart, Merlin?

Merlin: Oh, you too, Luna?

Luna: Alvin doesn’t act like this for no reason; you know that too.

Merlin: Alright.

Luna concentrated for a while and listened to the frequencies in her raw energy.

Luna: I think he’s right; the frequency I felt before was softer. There’s a tension now.

Merlin: Oh my god, I’ll take care of this, thanks Luna, but could you check on Alvin for me? I don’t want to hurt him.

Luna: Of course.

Luna had followed Alvin. I picked up my old book and started researching. This was a book passed down from my great-great-great-grandfather Darcar, containing the knowledge of all the wizards in our lineage who had lived until now, and if there was a problem, I could find it here.

I flipped through the book a bit, but I actually couldn't find anything; there was no information at all about the plants it gave me. So, I withdrew to the cave and decided to ask my spirit (Caesar) about it while resting. He provided me with interesting information. He said he had never encountered these plants before, but he had seen one being collected by people wearing some sort of bee costume at the foot of a mountain. I decided to start my research from there.
