It's time for another chapter, our heroes go inside a page ;)
Note VI: Take a Look
The main place tried to get the knowledge everyone needs for everyday life, is the library. At the table alone is Gus, who is busy trying to open up the Enchiridion but won't open, hard as a brick. He is in the library trying to figure out how to open it.
"Come on...just open...stupid thing?!" Gus groans trying so hard that he falls down on the floor.
"SHHH!"
Gus got up. "Sorry." He glares at the book. "Argh, your helpless, I give up..." He places the book down.
Gus looks at the back of the book until seeing a little writing on the bottom, that little hint for him.
"When close, it's asleep...to awaken it has to be a place among them all full of the night that shines with its might."
Gus puzzled it and think what it meant until he spots a sign on top, he smiled. "Of course the Wailing Star...I need to..." He realized and hits his head. "What am I thinking, breaking in...am I really gonna break the law." He takes a good look at the book, he sighs and glares. "You lucky I desperate."
In the nighttime, the library double opens up slowly until sees three figures coming in is be Luz and two happen to be twins.
"Are you sure it's almost time?" Luz asked
"Positive the star almost arrive huh Emira." the boy said to his sister.
"Yeah Edric, once it came...we gonna have a good time in here." the girl answered
Behind the bookcase is Amity who hiding, waiting for them with a glaring look. 'Not in my watch.'
Then ruin her thinking is a shining through the windows, especially one certain that above them...causes all the books to shine until getting green energy all over them.
"Huh...not much a show," Edric said in less interest.
Luz walked to a case, grabbed one of the books, open it as dozens of animals came out making three of their faces to amazement.
"The star makes the books come to alive." Emira states
Amity, she curious as grabbed a book and open it, revealing two ladies wearing revealing clothing, wrestling while smooching. She quickly slams the book while having a bright red face. "This is the adult section." She put it back then sees the window open up and someone came in. "Porter?"
Luz plays with the twins until she sees the window open as well. "Gus?"
Gus made it inside, he sees the books glowing green, he quickly take out his book seeing getting the green energy. He goes to an open circle space and places the Enchiridion on a stone book stand. "Okay...what's inside."
Luz came in with the twins. "Gus, what are you doing here?"
"Hey, it's that the Porter who uses strange against the fire guy?" Edric asked his sister,
"Yeah, the one always tried to get me. Thanks for putting him behind kid," Emira said the last one with a smile.
Gus surprised. "Luz?! What are you doing here, I thought being alone...we shouldn't be here!"
"Agree!"
They see Amity comes in with a glare. "You should all leave..."
"Great," Emira said in annoyance.
"Mittens ruin our fun as always," Edric responds in the same tone.
Gus laughed a bit. "Mittens." He then sees Amity glaring at them. "Look I'll leave, just need to look at my-"
Gus opens the book and it shines deep green light and causes everyone's eyes to go blank and fall to the floor.
Gus seems to fall to the ground, he quickly got up surrounded by misty clouds until coming up to the sky forming words.
"It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness."
"Rough road, I never know my road by that?!" Gus said seeing revealing to be a large trap in front of him. "Aw seriously."
Edric gets his head-first into the ground, he got up to see a rocky mountain in front of him. Then sees light in front of him, and sees words form on the ground.
"The most dangerous beast is the beast within."
"Beast inside," Edric joked looking around and looking for the exit until spotting a light on top of the mountain. "Come on...argh!"
Emira wakes up to a place that seems to be a large tower, full of stairs and many flying objects all over going to the top shining. Words come all over her until show up in front of her.
"The future has many paths – choose wisely."
"I choose, that be a day," Emira said beginning to walk to the stairs.
Luz and Amity end up in a pinkish house, with a lot of doors around them.
"Where...where are we?!" Amity asked, turning to Luz "What is this!?"
"Don't look at me, I mean Gus did open that book but I don't think even he knows it's a deal," Luz replied.
Then showing up in front of them, are some words that formed.
"Understanding is honoring the truth beneath the surface."
"Understanding...what does it mean?" Amity asked.
"Oh, it must be a riddle." Luz instigates.
"Well, sounds like we have to understand our surroundings, and the surface is...whatever this room is," Amity responds while opening the door, only to find another room with more doors. "What the...!?"
"Ooh, I think we're in some kind of maze." Luz indicates.
Amity and Luz walked into the hallway, and sees many doors while the ladder spoke. "I still can't believe you'll go to the library this hour with my siblings."
"I'm sorry, I just wanna go hang out with them, and might you know to finally to know you," Luz said
Suddenly the hallway changes into one door, Amity opens it, and they see the staircase only has a few doors.
"Finally, and besides breaking in one of my favorites won't make me hang out with you," Amity said
"Then what is to you to stop giving me cold shoulders?" Luz asked
"I don't know, since you have a knack for getting me into trouble and won't leave me alone," Amity said as she opens a door, another room with doors. "Ugh, why are there so many rooms with doors!?"
Gus seems to be in trouble, dodging many blades coming out of the sides almost got him. He jumped stepping stones in that bottomless pit, even running through the spiky walls that closed in.
Edric is busy climbing up the steep mountain, he seems tired but just wanna get this over. He looks up and sees he just needs to climb about..."
"Oh man, I need a break," Edric said sitting on the edge of the cliff.
"Grrrrrr..."
Edric sees a total of five wolfs coming out of the cave, looking vicious and ready for eating, and his pupils shrink. "Mother...'
Emira busy tried to find a path to pick to climb, but the ladders were all over the place. "Dame it all!"
Amity keeps opening another room, making her frustrated. "GAH! Why another room!?"
"Maybe there's something we're not looking at the riddle," Luz responds while thinking of what the riddle could be. "Understanding the surface...maybe it's not the surface in the room?"
"What are you talking about?" Amity asks.
"Maybe it's about...understanding each other?" Luz suggests.
Amity look at her in confusion. "What?!"
"Just calm down, and let's just speak..." Luz states as she speaks rubbing her arms. "Look, I am sorry for breaking into the library... it's just that, I love magic. As a kid, I always dream of becoming a witch, full of magic, daring adventures, and even making great friends such as Eda, King, Hooty, Willow, Gus, your siblings Emira and Edric, including you.
The doors begin to change-making a few doors, which causes Amity to surprise.
"It's working..." Amity said as she sigh. "Look, you don't understand...I am a Blight, I have to make no mistakes, I am an heir of the family name when I grow up, being in the Emperor's Coven. Is the only way to finally making make my family name greater. People judge you quickly just for little mistakes like before."
"That's exactly like me," Luz's response makes Amity look at her. "Everyone thinks I'm weird to do weird things and love different types of stuff. My mama wanted to go to some camp for my good, I know it's best for me. Sees everyone here in this realm, I glade be and what I am becoming."
The doors beginning disappear, only to have two doors left making both girls smile.
Amity looks down and rubbed her head. "I guess the judge you, guesses letting my family get to me more often...maybe I need to think about what I do and make sure of my choices and decision. Clothing, study, especially pick..." She looks at Luz with a smile and blushes. "People I like."
A door vanished and only one is standing, they open it up and the light shines.
Back in the mountains, where's now sees Edric whose clothes little torn. He does everything to stay away from wolves who don't hesitate to attack Blight.
"What's happening...why they attack me, I not trying to hurt them...I just want to get out of-" Edric said stopping to see the wolf's eyes, pure dull black, he getting wide eyes. 'They do attack me, but deep down... they're testing me...who is strongest, who the fearless...who be a true control of this battle, I won't let them kill me...I won't die here...I...will..."
The wolves charge at Edric who gets orange's aura around him and shouts.
"WIN!"
The wolves whimper and sees Edric like this, they run back to the cave as Edric keeps shouting until the illusion tag on his arm begins to shred away...his shouting begins to sound like a roar.
Emira seems difficult to get up top, the roads keep separate from each other. "How to get up there? Unless, oh no...Grrr...better not be ripped off when I wake up."
Emira stands up, she grabbed her leggings and ripped them off revealing her revealing legs. She does little stretch and charge. She begins jumping, grabbing, and doing a triple twirl, balanced, and a big leap.
Emira grabbed hold of a rope, she smile lookup. "Who knows my gymnastics finally pay off."
Gus meanwhile breathing heavily, has been so much through all in the trail; the only left is two big roads; one having a bumpy road leading to the door and the other leading to a straight road to a happy sun. The boy relieves of the final challenge, he is about a step forward to the sunny road when he pauses.
"Difficult roads..." Gus said looking at the other road. "I get it."
Gus takes the bumpy road and uses the last amount of power he got while thinking.
'I know, I got these powers...I keep trying to think might go away, but it won't...I need to accept the fact I need to get stronger and be around people I care for and trust. I might take the difficult but...'
He got to the door with a smile.
"It is worth it in the end."
He opened the door and goes inside.
Meanwhile, the sun pulls out a hammer and glares. "Darn, I thought it pick my road."
A light shines in the eyes of the students, and all of them got up seeing it mid-morning.
"Everyone alright?" Gus asked rubbing his eyes.
"Aside from almost getting dropped over long fall. Huh Ed, Ed?" Emira question looks at her twin brother.
Edric seems a little different, his hair is spiker, a visible fang showing, and his eyes...became more serious than usual. "Yeah, I find what to do...Amity I tell you the truth...we were gonna gets something that embarrassing enough to show to the school."
"What?!" Amity question angrily
"But after this happens in that book, I realized that we kinda taking too far...I should protect you from times like this, I promise won't hurt you any more than often. See you home." Edric said walking out.
Everyone was surprised to see Edric walking out and talking differently now, he always goes out having fun and pranks now he more a little different and quiet...like he really is a different person.
Emira looked at Gus with a glare. "What the heck did your book do to my brother?!"
Gus held up his hands in defense. "Hey, I'm confused too! I guess his lesson was far more serious than ours!"
Emira runs out. "Ed! Ed wait!"
"Well least one sibling to worried about," Amity states walking out of the library.
"Amity hold on!" Luz shouts and runs out to catch Amity.
"Luz!" Gus said sees the book, and grabbed it. "Well, you now open." He put his book away and walked it.
Amity walked out of the building, she gonna go with her sibling until a certain voice stops her.
"Amity wait!" Luz called out making Amity turns to her. "Look, I wanna know that I want to start this off being friends...as gratitude, you borrow my favorite book."
Luz hands over her volume of Great Azura, which surprises Amity. "You...want me to have this?"
"Yeah, I mean, I know that there's some stuff to work out between us but...I'm willing to give you a chance if you do." Luz replied.
Amity looks at the book, it was the missing volume she's been looking for. She wouldn't read the next one until she reads this one.
"Thank you, Luz." Amity replied, "I'm...not sure where this is going but...I wouldn't mind being friends with you."
Luz smiles. "Great, I'm sure hoping we can hang out one day."
Amity grabbed the book, holding it to her chest while walking, unknown to Luz that Amity getting tiny blush on her cheeks.
Gus came out of the library, he spots Luz. "Huh, Luz, I wanna apologize for what happened...never wanna hurt you and the others."
Luz pat Gus's back. "Ah, it's okay G-Man, I forgive you...plus that book helped me make friends with Amity."
Gus lookup. "Really?"
"Yup, we are good as sweet Conchas, just one question," Luz asked looking suspicious. "Still gonna used that book?"
Gus looks at his satchel, and he sighs. "Even though we been through in there, I can't just leave it there...I need to get more lessons in here, we all need this, so I keep it, besides, it gives us lessons that won't forget...Edric really got the hardish, think don't it"
Luz sigh. "Alright, just be careful around it...because that book is dangerous on so many levels."
"Agree, but more useful," Gus responds that both walked out.
Walking to a horse carriage from the late business trip is a lady with green bun hair, white skin, and blue eyes. Wearing a purple collar shirt, white vest, black tight pants, and black boots. She appears talking on her crow phone and she seems angry.
"He wanna do what?! Tell that boy I gonna talk to him when I get home-" She shouts interrupted by a flash.
*Screech*
In a moment, the crew phone is on the ground while hearing flapping away and a voice coming out of it.
"Hello...Odalia...probably got in the carriage."
