Chapter 16:
All I could hear was the ticking of the grandfather clock hanging on the wall. I sat in the library under candle light. Reading through the three books I had.
Three more to find.
I sighed as I looked at the map of the dragon realms hanging on the wall. They could be anywhere.
I look back at the books. They were a journal, a dairy almost, of someone's life.
I say that it's almost a diary because it seems to switch from topic to personal information. On one page I would read about this person, Luna, going about her day to day task. The next page would be a detailed instruction on how to form and shield with magic.
It was almost as if she just wrote down what ever came to mind so she wouldn't forget.
She's even categorized different types elemental spells. Which I didn't even know were a thing.
I groan and rub my temple. Glancing at the clock on the wall that read, 12:34.
I forced my tired legs to move. I stretched and put the books back into the draw desk. I then picked up the candle and made my way back to my room to rest.
The castle halls were overly dark. Bathed in moonlight they had an eerie feeling to them.
Thump
Thump
I nearly jumped out of my skin. "Hello?" I called out. My voice echoed throughout the empty hallway. Everything was quite.
It's nothing. Your getting yourself worked up over nothing. I repeated to myself. Turning and making my trek back down the hall. This time a little bit fast. Your mind it just playing tricks on you.
Thump
Bang!
"Spyro if that's you this isn't funny!" I call out down the hall. Not a sound. "I mean it! I'm in the mood for games!" Still I heard nothing. No giggling, no footsteps. I start backing away.
"Y-you know I am going to get you back for this right?" I spoke shakily. "I g-grew up with three brothers! I know how to pull a prank-!"
I felt something hard behind me. At first I thought it was a wall. Then I felt the warm breath on my neck as he said, "Well 'ello again girly. You ain't getting away this time."
And it all went black.
