Victor didn't know if this was going to even work, but it was worth a shot. Victor didn't see any reason why it shouldn't work. At the top of Elder Gutknecht's tower, Victor turned around to Emily who was behind him and took her other hand so that he had now both of her hands in his.
"Wait here," Victor said smiling.
"Victor, what are you up to?" Emily said with a smile forming on her face.
"It's a surprise," Victor answered with his grin growing bigger.
"Okay," she said giggling.
Victor bent down to give her a peck on the cheek before he turned around and walked into Elder Gutknecht's tower. He saw Elder Gutknecht and Elder Gudna talking while sitting on a couple of books stacked up on the floor. They looked up when they saw him enter the room.
"Victor," Elder Gudna said. "How are you doing?"
Victor smiled. "There is no word to explain how happy I am."
It was so easy to explain how he was feeling now. Before he had met Emily and had been taken to the Land of the Dead, it had been so hard to express his feelings. Make that impossible. Even just looking at him it had been hard to tell. Everyone in the Land of the Living had had no emotion. Just blank expressions on their faces. Eyes seeming to stare at nothing and that frown that seemed to never change. But in the Land of the Dead, it was the exact opposite. Here, it was just so easy to show emotion and feelings.
If Elder Gudna could smile Victor knew he would be smiling back at him. Victor could tell Elder Gudna was in a good mood. And that probably was because he now was with his brother Elder Gutknecht again and not all alone in his own tower so far away.
"Is there anything you need?" Elder Gutknecht asked him.
"Yes…I was wondering. Is there any way for someone in the Land of the Dead to transport someone in the Land of the Living, to the Land of the Dead?"
Elder Gutknecht and Elder Gudna shared a confused glance before Elder Gutknecht said, "Yes, the Supernaturalis Spell. Why do you ask?"
"I would like my father to meet Emily, and since people from the Land of the Dead are banned from the Land of the Living, I can't take her up there to meet him."
"I think we could make that happen," Elder Gudna said.
Victor's eyes widened a bit and he smiled. He was actually going to see his father again. And His father was going to meet Emily. It was just like he had hoped.
Elder Gutknecht got up and walked over to his podium. He pulled out a book that Victor recognized instantly. It was the one that has transported him and Emily to the Land of the Living the first time he had come to the Land of the Dead. Victor guessed that since they were both transporting spells, they would probably be in the same book.
Elder Gutknecht opened the red volume and started flipping through the pages, looking for the right spell.
"Here it is!" Elder Gutknecht said.
Victor's heart picked up speed in his chest. This is it. He thought to himself.
"Okay…" Elder Gutknecht murmured to himself. "Dust, crows feathers, water…"
Elder Gutknecht walked over to a cupboard, opened it, and started shuffling around looking for what he needed. He brought out two bottles and a jar full of black feathers. Then he walked back over to his podium.
He took the largest bottle and took off the top. He then grabbed the other bottle, opened it, and poured it into the large bottle. After that he took three of the black feathers and put them into the mix.
"Anything else?" Elder Gudna asked his brother.
"No, that should be all," Elder Gutknecht replied.
Victor heart beat raced faster with excitement. It was happening now. It wouldn't be more than a minute before he saw his father. He could explain things to him. Why he had disappeared so suddenly. Where he had gone. What had happened. Who he had met.
Elder Gutknecht took ahold of the bottle with the potion in it and poured it out in front of him.
Victor had been expecting the liquid to land on the floor, but it didn't. It floated in the air and it started growing bigger and bigger. It was a blackish blue color. Victor soon realized that it was forming into the shape of his father.
Once the liquid had formed completely into a life size image of his father, it began changing. Changing into the real figure of William Van Dort.
It wasn't long before his father had fully appeared and was now in the Land of the Dead.
"Hello father," Victor greeted.
