Zelda and Abigail slowly walked through the old wooden doorway and into the tower. Zelda staying extremely close to her shorter friend. Before either of the two girls could get their bearings of the room the door slam shut so hard behind them that the could practically feel it. The blonde nearly jumped three feet in the air letting out a small squeak of fear. Abigail wanted to comfort her friend but truth be told she wasn't feeling too brave either.

The room was large with strange objects scattered around the place. Zelda's eyes were drawn to a large circle drawn with chalk weaving intricate patterns on the floor, candles had been placed carefully around it. The blonde's imagination started to get the better of her and she started to worry that maybe they had just walked into the home of a satanist. Pictures of her and Abigail being sacrificed started to dance around her head making her knees shake. Zelda had to mentally slap herself back into reality as she turned to see a large cauldron with green liquid in it and a tall bearded man standing over it. The man looked up from the cauldron to take in the sight of the two girls, it was hard to tell what he was thinking as he kept a calm and blank expression. He was wearing a large black cloak and a black cowboy hat, His hair was purple but was a slightly darker shade then Abigail's. There was a long pause of silence in the room only broken by the man.

"Hmmm…." He said almost as if he were sizing the two girls up. "So you're here…"

Zelda began worrying if perhaps she had perhaps missed a specific time that had been stated along with her invitation. She wasn't sure what to say but not wanting to be rude she hesitantly said "Yes." Unfortunately that was all she seemed to be able to say, the rest of her vocabulary was lost to her at that moment leaving her only able to stand there shyly.

"My name is Rasmodius… seeker of arcane truths." He said as he walked slowly towards them.

"Hi, I'm Zelda." She said slowly.

"Yes. I believe you are the one whose arrival I have forcene."

"Um… You sent me an invitation." Zelda replied. She was really confused but looking over at her friend's face she could tell that Abigail wasn't going to be much help. "I hope you don't mind but I brought my friend Abigail." She said gesturing to the girl beside her. Abigail gave a nervous wave.

"Come here I have something to show you." He said gesturing to the candle lit chalk circle.

Zelda and Abigail gingerly walked over to the chalk circle but before either could wonder what it was they were being shown the Rasmodius held his hand out towards the middle of the circle. A sudden flash of light of many colors struck the room. Abigail covered her eyes as Zelda fell over in shock. Picking herself up Zelda looked into the middle of the circle where an image appeared floating in and out of distortion like the blonde was looking through water but clear enough to see what the image was. Zelda's eyes widened as she saw what looked like a small apple that had arms and legs, with two big eyes.

"That's what I saw in the community center." Zelda said looking over at Abigail whose eyes were filled with astonishment.

"Yes." Said Rasmodius looking down at the image. "They call themselves the Junimos… Mysterious spirits these ones these ones…"

"Told they were spirits." Abigail said smugly, bumping shoulders with Zelda.

"You are correct." Said Rasmodius giving Abigail a nod. "I have spent many years studying the paranormal and have had many encounters with otherworldly creatures but for some reason these spirits refuse to speak with me. I don't know why they've moved into the community centre, but you have no reason to fear them"

Rasmodius snapped his fingers and the image disappeared in an instance leaving the girls once again in astonishment.

"So you're a wizard right?" Zelda heard Abigail say from beside her.

"I am a wizard, yes." He responded

"Cool" is all Abigail could say in response, even though she had a million questions she was dying to ask.

Rasmodius chuckled and smiled for the first time which put both girls more at ease. "I must say, you both are taking this quite well."

"I've read magical studies and have always been fascinated with the supernatural, but I've always wanted to meet a real wizard!" Abigail said excitedly.

"I keep a watchful eye over the town and the residence in it. I've seen your eagerness for adventure." Rasmodius eyes turned gentle as he said this.

"Excuse me…" Zelda said nervously. "I was wondering… I found a strange book in the community center. It was written in a language I couldn't read. Is it yours?"

"Hmmm…" Rasmodius said as he stroked his beard. "No it's not mine but it would be interested in seeing it."

Zelda was about to offer that she bring it to him but before she could say anything Rasmodius said he would be right back. Stepping into the circle he snapped clapped his hands together and vanished into thin air. There was a short moment of silence before Zelda let out a large sigh.

"This is really crazy…"

Abigail looked like she was about to respond but before she could the door opened again and Rasmodius stepped through.

"That was quick." Zelda said in surprise. Rasmodius smiled and winked at the girl, forcing a smile onto the blonde's face. Maybe this all wasn't so scary.

"I found the book and a note in the back" He said holding up a note. "It's difficult to translate but it says; We the Junimo, are happy to aid you. In return, we ask for gifts of the valley. If you are one with the forest then you will see the true nature of this scroll." As Rasmodius finished reading off the note he looked at Zelda exitedly. "Interestingly this must mean that the spirits are trying to communicate with you!"

"But why me?" Zelda asked "Why not someone like Abigail?"

"The spirit's work in mysterious ways, but it may have to do with your aura." The Wizard responded

"My aura?"

"Everyone has a magical aura, some more powerful than others." He explained "You happen to have a very powerful and positive aura, this may have led the spirits to accept you. They could also have overheard something you said, or maybe they simply enjoy your company."

"So what do we do now?" Abigail asked.

Rasmodius walked over to his cauldron and poured out into two bowls a green liquid from inside. "This potion is filled with ingredients from the forest, this will help unlock some of your magical potential and give you the ability to read the junimo's language." He said handing a bowl to each girl.

Zelda was having some second thoughts about this. Everything she had ever learnt as a kid was advising her not to drink the strange liquid the man gave her, but looking over at her friend she saw that Abigail was already drinking hers. Oh well, she thought as the blonde gulped down the broth. The taste was awful and zelda had to fight to keep it down. Both girls faces went green and Zelda felt a sudden dizziness over take her. So this is how it ends? Roofied by a wizard she thought. There were worse ways to go.

Rasmodius chuckled at the girls expressions. "Don't worry the side effects should ware of shortly."

Zelda hoped that was true because she was forced on the floor now because of her loss of balance. She felt Abigail fall on top of her and she wondered how silly they both looked. Soon Zelda started to see things as her vision became distorted and trees began to dance in front of her. Images flashed in front of her face; tree's, bushes, rivers and small animals all flew by Zelda's head. She even could have sworn she saw a lock of red hair but it was impossible to be sure. Slowly her vision returned to normal and both girls helped each other up.

"That felt weird." Abigail groaned.

"I will leave you to do what you want with the spirits, but I would appreciate you keeping me update every now and then." Rasmodius said as he escorted the two out. "It gets a little lonely up here sometimes." he admitted sheepishly.

"Thank you for all your help." Zelda said with her bright trademark smile.

"You're very welcome my Dear." The wizard said returning the smile.
