Raenef V POV:

The day started innocently enough. I'd finished with my lesson for the day, so I took the time to explore more of my castle. It's amazing; I've been living here for nearly a year, and I'm still finding myself lost in my own home.

I made my way into the library, which seemed to be a maze. When I finally found a door, I thought that it was the exit. It turned out to be a back room filled with books that looked older than Eclipse. I should've turned to leave, but curiosity got the best of me, as it usually does. So I skimmed the ancient texts. At first the language was foreign to me, but the more I read, the strange symbols became legible.

Eclipse had taught me never to read a spell aloud. I don't even remember speaking, but as soon I finished the final word, I knew that I had made a mistake. There seemed to be no effects until Eclipse found me with the book in hand. His eyes held no recognition, and he seemed shocked to see me.

"What are you doing in here?"


Eclipse POV:

I took my master to a council meeting that day. They all were most impressed by the magical skills he'd obtained in only fifteen years of life. It fed his ego unfortunately, and the boy was already arrogant enough. But it wasn't my place to say. We'd gotten home late in the afternoon. As soon as we appeared in his den, he looked to me and said, "Someone's in the house."

It took me a moment of searching, but I soon felt a presence in the library. I teleported in the back room to find the intruder to be a small blonde boy. He seemed to be the same age as my master only smaller and slightly more feminine. Why such a child would be in our house was beyond me. Perhaps he was a gift for my master that has wandered off in our absence. All the answers lied within him.

"What are you doing in here?"

His eyes became apologetic, and his words frantic.

"I'm so sorry, Eclipse. I was just taking a look around, and I found this room, and I got curious. I didn't mean to read it out loud. I don't even know what the spell's for. Please don't get mad at me!"

I didn't know what to say. The boy's high-pitched voice and fast words gave me a slight headache. But from what I gathered, he knew me and had cast a spell.

"Just tell me who you are and what business you have in my master's domain."

"What are you talking about? It's me: Raenef."


Cottontail: You know I write short chapters. I know I promised a sequel to The Truth Behind Legends, but I haven't gotten to it yet. Be patient.
