Beyond The Looking Glass is the second book in the Unseen series, a story that came to me from the other side. A story where I thought I was just the narrator until I heard the Words of the Unseen.

This second story goes beyond time and place and mixes the long ago with the here and now. Because history keeps repeating, until we learn and do something about it.

Beyond The Looking Glass - Words of the Unseen - Chapter 78

Dear Reader, throughout our lives the same message means different things to our ears.

Ears in the broadest sense of course, as it´s all a matter of perception.

As a kid I was told I talk too much, nowadays I spend half my day talking and getting paid for it, does that mean I still talk too much?

The rush of everyday life blinds us, we force ourselves to take things at face value to be efficient with our time and pending tasks.

What if I told you that we lose track of ourselves, because we try to save time, in order to have more time to ourselves?

The lines can get so thin, was her support and dedication the help of a wife who wants to see her husband succeed?
Or that of someone who is looking for more and is only too happy to let others do the work?

A great manipulator would not tell those he planned to manipulate....maybe that is why I was not there when she spoke those words.

Or maybe it´s the difference in perception between sender and receiver that totally twisted the meaning of the message.

Today I still doubt the true intentions thanks to the many mixed signals.

What was she thinking?
What was her mom planning when she looked at me with those eyes?

Whatever it was she became dead to me, and many who shared my feelings followed. She ended up a lonely old woman whose own family eventually turned their backs on her.

Is that what waits for Deliah eventually?

Sorry, I was talking about the past, let´s stick to that Dear Reader.

Even though the work for the city council allowed me to prolong my stay in the off-the-grid paradise, it was time for change.

It was summer, the money was gone again, there didn't seem to be any work coming my way from the municipality, and I had taken a decision.

It was time for something new, one more go at whatever before I would settle down in a rural area.

I applied for a job, a job that would take me out of these little white villages. A job that was tailor-made for me.

Tailor-made as it did not require any Spanish, just English and Dutch and half a brain.

Being an international company with room to grow and a permanent contract after a year helped sweeten the deal as well.

What stopped me was the fact that for the final approval, I was waiting for a manager on her summer holiday.

This job, no matter how basic was my new start and I knew it. The fact that I was pending approval did not sit well with me, as I was convinced that this was the way.

My friend the mayor, who for months now kept saying a new project would start soon, had arranged a few nights of work.

There was a big local music festival coming up soon and the grounds had to be guarded at night.

I have had many odd jobs in my life but this one, being alone in nature night after night must have been one of the ones I enjoyed most.

The silence, the serenity, it allowed time to think. My thoughts those first nights were often aimed at this new life, this new job.

That second night I knew.
Tomorrow the grounds would be lit by a full moon, and I had something planned.

Something I hadn't dared to do since Claudia.
I was going to use magic again.
Very focused and very specific.
As I had learned my lesson.

That night I looked for a spot under the full moon with a view of the valley.

I called upon the elements, the guides, the powers that support me in this life, all to give this invocation as big a kick as possible.

I used a pen and piece of paper to invoke a spell that would ensure that this company and I were going to earn a lot of money and that there would always be enough work for me as long as I needed it.

That we would grow together, till I did not need them anymore.

After putting all the details down, and thanking who had gathered, I burned the spell so its energy would flow into the whole and thus come true.

There was work.
There was enough work.
There was even so much work that I could work overtime to be able to pay for Deliah's more luxurious lifestyle.

The change was huge, for all of us. Deliah and Kyrian even moved back for a while.

It allowed Kyrian to go to his old school again, Deliah to be closer to her mom and sister, and me to spend my newfound wealth paying for two apartments and a new car.

Maybe I messed up again.
Maybe even now I learned my lesson I should refrain from playing wizard.

Guess I am no Martin Potter because the financial struggle that had choked me for so long did not disappear.
