I see the gates of Hades. It could be a little confusing, but both the land and the ruler of the land are called Hades. It's where the humans got their inspiration for Greek Mythology. They saw the Hades and thought it was just one immortal guy named Hades, not a ruler which was replaced every generation or so. I walk closer to the gates. The blackness glints in the sunlight, and are a deep contrast to the brightness of laughter of the Fae. I can see a little bit of the other side. The land is colored black, red, and fiery orange. To be honest, it looks pretty cool. Now I really want to go inside.
But I can't.
There are guards there anyway, they'd stop me if I came too close. I decide I'll go to the library instead. That place has books, and they've got to be able to tell me something more about those Charms Oliver was talking about. I head into the library.
I know how a library works. Everything's organized alphabetically and in sections on what kind of book it is. I just wish finding things was easier. Earth would have a electronic way of finding the location of a book, but for some reason, despite having magic, the fairy world is still stuck with paper catalogs. I really don't like this. After a bit of a search, I find the location of the Prophecies and Legends books. Now for another search.
The prophecies and legends of the old past are frighteningly powerful. I find the chapter of the Rose Charm. I read the impressively long poem about it.
Far away in distant lands
No one can track it, if he can
He shall find a way to see
His own beloved beauty
The rocks will crumble
The earth may not stand
The choice of them hand in hand
For in the hour, the time will spin
And he will realize he won't win
The damage done can not be fixed
For love and roses don't do the trick
Okay. So I have absolutely no idea what any of that means, so I'm gonna assume that it's not important. The recipe and information on how to get these things are below the poem.
Beads of the Water
The Beads of the Water symbolize the pain and suffering one does in the name of love.
Ingredients:
- Naiad tears found from the deepest waters in Aquaria
- A mermaid scale
- Slime of a sea serpent
Beads of the Air
The Beads of the Air symbolize the feeling of being as light as air when your beloved is near.
Ingredients:
- A feather from a Pegasus's wing
- a Fairy flower
- ash of the Phoenix
Beads of the Nether
The Beads of the Nether symbolize how being in love can feel like being in Hell.
Ingredients:
- a cup of lava
- fur of a Hellhound
- a Vampire fang
To make the beads:
For each kind of bead, pour its ingredients into a cauldron and heat until minute beads form.
Assembly
Each bead shall be placed on the string of the Yarn of the Fates, in sequential order. First the Water Bead, then Air Bead, then Nether Bead. Continue in this pattern three times (9 Beads), then add the Rose Charm, then add the pattern another three times. Tie the bracelet together while saying the Poem, and the magic will begin to work.
*DISCLAIMER*
Due to tensions between varying lands, there may be some complications in getting the ingredients. User discretion advised.
On another note, the Rose Charm was lost in the Scandal of Terraria and was probably destroyed, so doing any of this is pretty much useless. Just flirt the old fashioned way.
That was definitely a very long read. The last note was scribbled in pencil, and probably fake, so I'm not going to listen to it. My time is almost up. They won't let you take the books from the Prophecies and Legends section from the library, so I stealthily put he book in my bag and leave the library. I get back to the training facility just as Miss Beverly does. After that, it's all the proper way to annunciate the spells until it's time to go home. I'm thinking about the charm the entire time. It's going to be a lot of work. But hey, anything in the name of love!
