Light of my Shadows

A Sorceress' Book

*tick, tock, tick, tock*

The soft ticking of the clock served as a lullaby for the two sleeping figures resting peacefully in their crib. Yule and Yo snuggled with their twin as they gurgled softly.

Outside the door, Yue watched his sons with guilty eyes. They looked so peaceful, would he dare disturb them?

Sighing in regret, he made his way stealthily to the twins, careful not to make a sound. If his wife woke up, it would not end well.

Looking down at the twins, Yue carefully picked up a sleeping Yo. Yo moaned softly before snuggling in his father's arms. Yue smiled sadly at him before reaching to pick up the other twin.

Yue heard the light switch on as he turned around to see Grace, sleepy yet wide-eyed, "Yue, what are you doing with the kids? I didn't hear any crying and it's too early to wake them up."

Yue stuttered for an answer, "W-Well...I-I..."

"Yue, are you finished?" A smooth voice cut across the room as a figure of a man materialized next to Yue.

Grace looked at Yue, "What does he mean, Yue?" she asked confusedly, with a tint of fear in her voice.

Before Yue could answer, the figure spoke, "Forgive me my lady for interrupting, but I think I should be the one to explain," it smirked.

Yue looked at him, a bloody rage in his eyes, 'You wouldn't dare, Ryan!' he thought.

Ryan smiled slyly and continued, "Yue used you my lady. He just used you to get heirs of his own. Then raise them to be evil and kill every one of your kind.' he said coolly, smirking as Grace's eyes filled with tears.

"Y-You used me?" Grace whispered softly as she hung her head.

"L-Listen Grace. I can explain...!"

"You USED me!" yelled Grace in anger, her eyes burning with hatred. Yue was taken aback by the harsh tone in her voice.

Looking at her twins which were sleeping peacefully on the couch, Grace devised a plan in her head. Giving Yue one last look, she dashed for the twins, taking them in her arms. Before anybody could react, she had fled.

"Foo-portation!"

*drip, drip*

Yin flinched as some of the blood fell on her arm. She didn't know why there was fresh blood on the ceiling and she didn't want to find out why.

Yin headed for the large wooden door, her steps light and swift. Nearing the door, she placed her hands on it and pushed. A loud creak sounded as Yin wiped her forehead.

"I'm finally here." she whispered. Looking around the Japanese-themed base, she went to do her job. Finding a stack of scrolls in the corner, Yin went to investigate.

After a few minutes of searching, she held the 'Aura Drain' scroll. Yin smiled in satisfaction and read it:

'The Aura Drain move is Woo Foo's most darkest secret. The Aura Drain lives up to its name, one blast will drain the warrior's aura until he/she is left powerless or dies. This attack is the most lethal power to use against a Woo Foo warrior. The only cure is an Aura Transfusion from a parent or relative.' , Yin read softly.

Tucking away the scroll, Yin went to go and explore the base some more. Noticing some strange books hidden away behind the bookshelf, Yin went to retrieve it.

"This is strange." Yin whispers as she strokes the cover of the book. It was a dark color with a swirling blood red orb in the middle. Four bloody beast fangs served as a lock for it. As Yin touched one of the locks, a dark glow came from the book. Yin tried to pull her hand away but the book wouldn't let go.

'What's happening?' she screamed wildly in her mind. Yin closed her eyes as she held her breath, waiting for something to happen.

*click*

Yin opened her eyes slowly at the sound. The fangs were gone as the book was unlocked. Strangely, the blood-red orb in the middle seemed to be turning blue until it was nothing but a pale silvery orb that resembled the moon.

"Amazing," Yin said as she opened the book.

It was blank but when Yin touched the pages, a strange symbols appeared on it.

'I know this! It's the language of Wiccans. But why would this book use it?' Yin thought as she read the book,

'Dear reader,

You must be a magical being to be able to open this book and read it. Only those with the blood of witches and sorcerers may gain access to the content written in this book. For this book you are holding in your hands right now is a book of spells that were banned long ago. To cast these spells is forbidden, and great consequences shall befall whoever gets caught using these. So take caution dear Wiccan and may these be of help to you.

Sincerely,

Ryan NightCrawler'

"How interesting. Ryan NightCrawler? Where have I heard that name before?" Yin said as she closed the book and tucked it away in her cloak.

She was just about to leave when a familiar voice stopped her, "Hold it right there!"

Rei turned around nervously to find Yang standing behind her, a metal blade in his hands. A big change from the usual bamboo sword.

"Where do you think you're going, Rei?" Yang sneered, a knowing look in his eyes.

Rei's eyes widened but she didn't speak.

"What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?" Yang smirked as Rei stood there immobilized.

Yang got annoyed with her silence and decided to cut their talk short. Tightening his grip on the sword, Yang flew swiftly to Rei as she snapped out of her trance and dodged.

"Incinerate!" Amber-flecked flames shot out of Rei's hands as she tried to burn Yang. But he easily dodged and did a backflip as he bounced off the wall.

"Fists of Fire!" Yang ignited his fists as he ran to Rei, trying to get a hit. But before he could hit her, Rei swooped below and slid between his legs as she took out her own sword.

Igniting the blade, Rei dashed around in circles with Yang in the middle as she made copies of herself surround him. Yang looked around confusedly before taking a deep breath and closing his eyes. Focusing on finding Rei's energy, Yang spotted the pink streak in his head and aimed a punch to his right.

"Oof!" Rei grabbed her stomach as Yang's fist made direct contact. Growling angrily, Rei got up from the floor, "Yin-visible!" she whispered softly.

Rei's form slowly disappeared as Yang tried to do the same thing earlier. But before he could spot her, a flying roundhouse kick made contact with the back his head.

"Aaah!" Yang screamed as he held his head in pain. Rei used this opportunity to finish the fight.

Grabbing Yang's hands, Rei twisted them behind his back as Yang screamed in pain. Exhausted from the lack of sleep, the fight and the pain, Yang fell unconscious.

Rei dropped him on the ground as she sighed. That was close. Remembering the weapon she had brought earlier, Rei smiled. It would be of use after all.

Prodding around her cloak, Rei grabbed a small green pendant. It was the Amnisulet. Placing Yang's head on her lap, Yin whispered ,

"You will forget everything that happened tonight. You will forget that I am the spy and that I sneaked here in the night. Forget! Forget..."
