First a thank you to my reviewer:
Soraya - Don't feel bad that you didn't realize he had a girlfriend. I did not deturmine the relevant information until I wrote that chapter. Oh, I knew there was someone, but I didn't know her name and I didn't know how the relationship had ended. I did know it ended. Now, that I know the basics you will find out more information about her from time to time. I cannot say at this time whether or not she will make an appearance, but Chris is definitely well rid of her.
This next chapter is short, but it should give you info on what my Warlock has planned with the Aphrodite Crystal. Enjoy.
Chapter Three – Magical Locks
Steve Kessler looked at the lock on the door in front of him with a satisfied grin. The spell he had cast on the chains should both protect them from view and keep them from being broken apart and the door open.
He walked toward the front of the building and the last open able door. He stopped in the front hall and chanted, "Within these halls all magic died. As orbing fails evil will rise. Magical transport cannot from within, or from without be used to rescue them."
The spell cast he walked right out the front door. He turned around and looked at it. "Chain this door, let no one in. Invisible bonds, keep magic in. All attempts bounce off the door, until it's evil to the core."
He chuckled as he pulled at the door and nothing happened. This plan would work. He could feel it. He walked around the building and blinked away.
I really need to find a way to make "Steve Chapters" longer, but there's not much more I could think to do. Still, I hope short as it was, it got the point across.
The next chapter is longer. It's called "Reacting". The effects of Nathan touching the Aphrodite Crystal are about to show themself and someone else is going to be infected.
