Levy spent three days in the old mansion, translating the pages. At times she wished she had some of her books to help her, but she left most of them at home. The four people who lived in the house were kind to her, except for one. She noticed that while the others chose to reveal themselves, he didn't, but she didn't mind. He didn't really bother her, but he kept his distance.
He probably doesn't trust me, she thought as she took a sip of water, doubts my skill too, I bet…
She got back to work when the old man came to her.
"How far have you gotten today?" he asked, Levy glanced up from her work.
"Actually, I'm almost done. Thanks to some of your books and the ones I was able to bring, I've gotten farther than I thought within two days,"
The man nodded, "That's excellent! The others would be so please to hear the news!" he smiled down at her, and she couldn't help but smiled back. She was happy that at least there was one person who was happy with her job, "When you are done, we shall celebrate with a feast!"
"A-a feast?!" Levy almost yelped.
"Yes, yes! As you could see, these pages are very important to us, and to be able to finally read them…we are filled with great joy!"
"Joy? I didn't realize how important this job was…Ok! I'll do my best to finish this as the best as I can!" Levy cheered. T
he man nodded once again.
"I look forward for it," and with that, he walked away. Levy watched him leave before continuing back to her work.
The old man walked through the halls, getting farther away from the solid script mage. The hooded man peered behind a pillar, watching the older man leave and head upstairs. Taking his chance, he hastily walked the other way. He walked through in what seems like an endless maze of hallways and doors. He soon turned into a small corner where large, doubled, gray doors greeted him. There was a lock in front the doors to keep away unwanted guests. Holding his left palm forward, light blue sigils appeared on his palm. He placed his palm on the lock, watching as magic words come from the sigil and into the lock.
There was a click sound, and the lock fell to the floor. Grinning in the darkness of his hood, the man pushed the doors forward. He was welcome to the sight of nothing but black. His cape fluttered back as a slight wind blew through the door.
"Come in….," A low voice rumbled, beckoning the man to come in. Heeding the spoken words, the man took a step into the endless darkness.
Levy was finishing the last paragraph of the last page when she felt a presence behind her. She quickly spun around, but there was no one there, "Weird," she mumbled. She went back to her work.
"Switch this to that, change it to this language, then change it this and…..Viola!" she held the completed work in the air, "and I'm done!"
"Y-you're actually done?"
Levy turned to the see the girl standing there, she was slightly shaking, but her face was flushed with happiness, "I must go get Quatz!" and with that she ran off.
"Uh wait!" Levi said, but she was too late as the girl turned the corner, she sighed, "These…people…are really excited about this book," she stared at the book, though…some of the wordings inside actually have me worried…something about awakening something…
She heard footsteps coming from the hallway and she looked up to see the hooded man come towards her.
"Is it truly done?!" he walked closer to her, almost invading her personal space.
"Y-yes,"
"Give it to me," he commanded and Levy gave it to him. He grabbed it from her and started to flip through the pages, his eyes moves left to right as he scanned the book. Levy watched him go through the book, surprised on how much he wanted it.
"Rushlan…"
The hooded man and levy turned to see the old man and the other two in the door way. They made their way to the table. Rushlan held the book to Quatz, who took it and decided to look through it. He ran his fingers over the hand-written words and smiled to himself. He glanced up to Levy.
"Thank you my dear," he smiled at her. He handed the book to the girl standing behind him, "Jackson, Tamila, get the feast ready," the two at his side nodded and walked off, "Rushlan…"
The two stared at each other in silence before the former answered, "Yes?"
"Show Ms. Mcgarden to the room, we be ready in a moments time," with those spoken words, the older man left.
"Come on," he ordered. Levy stood from her spot and followed the man out of the room. He led her down a new hallway she hasn't gone down in, ever since coming she didn't really explore the house for she had a job to do. They went further in the house and Levy wasn't sure they were going the right.
"Um…Rushlan, was it? Where are we going?" she stammered. The man either didn't hear her or he chose to ignore her, "uh, excuse me?" she tugged on his cape.
He twirled around, "What do you want?!" he barked. He seemed to tower over Levy, but she held her ground.
"I just wanted to ask, where are we going?" she huffed, her hands on her hips.
"We. Are. Going. To. The. Feast. Hall," he said fuming and he marched off.
This man really does not like me, she thought before trailing after him. Levy noticed that it was getting dark outside and she was started to get hungry. She wasn't paying attention when she bumped in the Rushlan. She took a step back and rubbed her face.
"We're here," he said.
Levy noticed huge doubled gray doors stood before them. Rushlan took a step forward and opened one of the doors, "This way," he said, holding the door for her.
"W-why, thank you," she said going in; she wasn't able to take a look around when she got assaulted. The other two younger people jumped at her from the darkness and bound her legs and arms with magical rope that stops mages from using their magic, "Wait, What are you-"she didn't get to finish her sentence as the girl placed a thick cloth in her mouth. Levy struggled against her bonds, but it was no use, they were tied to late. Rushlan stood above her.
"Quickly, you two! It's almost time!" he hissed while the other two nodded, grabbing her feet and head, they carried her over to the middle of the room. While being carried, Levy noticed there was some sort of a magic circle drawn on the ceiling and the floor. They placed her right in the middle and walked off to the edge of the circle, "The book where is the book?!" they hissed. While they were looking around, Levy struggled to sit on knees, even though pain shot through her ankles. She heard a door opening.
"Looking for this?"
Everyone glanced up to see Quatz strolling in, book in hand, and very, very angry. Rushlan stood his ground, "Give the book to me Quatz,"
"No," he replied, walking over the magic circle and to Levy, "You shouldn't do this to someone who is our guest," he removed the cloth from her mouth.
"Quatz! That book! I think they were trying to summon something!" she warned him. His brows knitted together in worry.
"You were trying to summon something?" he stood up.
"Yes!" Rushlan sneered, "and we're tired of you telling us it will be ok, so we…urk," blood spurted out of Rushlan mouth and his rolled off his shoulders. Levy sniffled a scream as it came rolling closer. She glanced back up as his body fell to the floor, his blood spilling over the circle. She noticed the girl, Tamila, standing behind the body, holding a strange looking scythe. As she looked closer, the scythe…was made out of words.
"I knew he was going to be troublesome, but we still needed him for his blood," Quatz sighed. Levy looked at him in horror.
"W-whats going to happen to me? What are you people going to do?!" Levy almost screamed.
Quatz knelt down to her and came face to face, "We are men of words, keepers of the ancient scripts. Though these past few years, we have been dwindling in our skill as there are lest few of us," he stood back up and walked over to the other two, "What's going to happen to you? I'm not sure of that, but what we are going to do?" he turned to face Levy, one hand holding the book, the other stretched out over the circle, it started to glow purple, "we are reviving our master,"
