The Wrath of Chaos

Chapter 2


Flashback.

In an old, dark and dusty library under the palace, there is an
ancient book filled with unique spells that have never been tried
in the last 1000 years or so. That is the only object in the library,
except a faded bronze stand, which held the historic book. It has
lain undisturbed for all those years, but not for much longer.....

Kel, Cleon, and Neal were meant to meet King Jon for an important
council meeting, concerning the immortals. As they were newly knighted
they were permitted to join them. They were running late, and were
sprinting as fast as they could. Then Cleon tripped up on an untied
shoelace. He hurtled into the wall, and tried to catch something
to stop his fall. He grabbed hold of an old torch that was attached
to the wall. As he sank to the ground, a section of the wall swung
open, to reveal a dark passage way.
"Wow, this does not look like it has been used for hundreds of years!"
exclaimed Neal, who had run his hand along the wall to prove how much dust there was.
"I thought the king kept all his passages clean?" Cleon said softly.
"Maybe he did¹nt know?" Kel voiced what they were all thinking.
"We should probably get Jon and see what he says. Neal will you
go to the chamber and get him, and Numair should come as well.
Who knows what is down here. Cleon and I shall make sure no one
goes in". Neal excitedly raced off to tell the king of their mysterious discovery.
"What do you think is down there?" Cleon asked.
"I don't know. Maybe someone else does". Kel replied.
Soon Neal was back with the king and Numair. As well as Alanna,
Raoul, Gary, Roald, Daine, Thayet and Kally, who were also present at the meeting.
Numair conjured light in his hand using his gift, and after a word with Jon, started down the passage. Everyone else was ordered
to stay there. As the minutes went by everyone stood there nervously,
wondering what was about to happen.
After a few long and tense minutes, Numair returned carrying a single
book. As soon as he stepped through the passageway, the section
of wall swung closed never to be opened again by mortals of this
world. Numair looked curiously at the wall where the passage once
was, then turned back to the others to show them what he had found.
They returned to the council chamber to study the book. The book
was written in an unknown language, which not even Numair could
decipher. It was decided, that as no one knew what the book was
about, that it should by kept in a secure room. So the book, that
would cause so much trouble later, was to be placed in a room, which
Alanna and Numair would place spells around, to detect intruders.
But as they were doing this Kally watched near by. Everyone was
always talking about her brother. He always got the attention.
Kally would do something, something which would get their attention for sure.
So later that evening, Kally crept back to the room. She carefully
opened the door, and looked around. She did not care about the
spells; it was just something to bring them all running in. She
walked over soundlessly to where the book was placed on a high stand.
She picked up the book and flipped through the pages, till she found one that she could easily read: or easily pronounce. Then she began to chant what was written. It was not the difficult.
When she had finished, she looked around expectantly. At that
moment the doors flew open and in marched a frowning Numair followed
by an angry Alanna, Jon, Roald and Daine. When they saw Kally,
they all stopped. Finally Jon managed to say "Kally, what have
you done?" Then behind Kally a portal opened. It was filled with
many colours, some never seen before by mortal eyes. The colours
all blended into one another. It was never forgotten by any of
the onlookers, it was engraved into their minds forever. Suddenly
the portal started to get faster, and tried to drag objects into
it; including Kally. Roald saw what was going to happen and just
in time ran forward and pushed Kally roughly out the way, while he was sucked in.
"NO!" Kally screamed. "NO! NO! NOOOOOO!" She screamed helplessly.
Everyone looked on in horror as Roald disappeared. Then Alanna
ran forward, to try to help Roald, but it was too late. Soon she
vanished into the portal. Then Numair tried to help, by running
forward and performing some incantations, but none worked and he
ended up being dragged in with Alanna. Just as Numair went through,
the portal closed. Kally dissolved into tears as she tried to explain what she had done.

End of flashback.

"So that is how we ended up here. When we arrived, we did not know
where we where. It was a strange land neither of us had seen before.
So we asked how to get back to Corus. No one knew where that was.
That was when we figured out we where in another world. We tried
to use our Gifts to get back, but we were all tapped out. It's
like the portal sapped away all our magic. We were stuck. We walked
around, trying to get our bearings. Without our Gifts, we could
not do anything to help ourselves. That was when Alanna caught
the flu, and when we found you." Numair finished.
"Wow. That is amazing. Well I guess you can stay here till you
find a way back." Brin offered.
"Thank you". Roald offered quietly. "For Numair and me. And Alanna."
At that moment the door opened, and out stepped Alanna. "Err, where are we?"
"You have missed a lot. But I am glad to see you on your feet."
Numair said cheerfully, relived that she was all right. Alanna
frowned at him confused, and Brin laughed.
"I am pleased to meet you, Sir Alanna. I am sure you are all famished,
so lets go and have something to eat" Brin laughed and led them
into the kitchen, to get them something to eat.
