(Hannah's P.O.V) (In Iceleria)
"I'm tired of just waiting," I said as I crossed my arms. "What do you mean?" Anna asked. "Can't we do something that can help the others?" "We've already tried that. It didn't work right?" "I think I've figured something out."
I walk towards the bookshelves and started looking for the book we found earlier. "Where is it?" I mumbled seeing that it wasn't there anymore. "Is it there?" "I can't seem to find it." "What do you mean you can't find it? Queen Lissandra placed it back here."
"This is perfect." "Perfect? What do you mean?" Louis asked. "This further proves my theory." "Which is?" "I think Queen Lissandra is hiding something." "Hiding something? What would she be hiding?"
"It has to be something in the book because she won't just hide the book from us if it could've helped us." "We don't even have powers. If we did get the book we won't even benefit from its information."
"I guess you're right." Jake backed up Anna's opinion. "It's not us that needs the benefit. The others are the ones that do." "I agree," Louis said after sighing. "You and I don't agree much on things but this time you have a point." "Well, we don't even have the book anymore," Ken said after sighing.
"Then let's find it," Louis suggested. "Are you crazy? If Queen Lissandra catches us doing this we'll be in big trouble." "Who said she'll be able to see us?" Louis said as he took out some powder from his pocket. "What is that?" "Invisibility powder. I just have to sprinkle some of this on us and we'll be safe."
"Fine but we have to be very very sneaky." "I've had plenty of practices when I was in school," Anna said as she opened the door and walked out first. Thug! "Ow! What the hell?" Anna asked after being pulled back into the room.
"We're not invisible yet you idiot." "You don't have to be such a jerk about it." Louis sprinkles the powder on us and we become invisible. "Woah." "Where did you even get this?" "Chad gave it to me because he thought we'll need it."
"And how exactly did he get this?" "And isn't stealing prohibited?" Ken asked. "Of course, it is you, idiot." Anna rolled her eyes. "You don't have to be so mean about it." "I'm not even being mea---" "We have no time for this we need to keep moving."
We go outside into the hall. "So what are we supposed to be doing again?" Jake asked. "We're going to find that book ." "The book with spells?" "Yes." "So what are the limits of this invisibility potion?" Anna asked. "I don't know actually..." "You idiot you just took it from Chad when you didn't even know its limits."
"It was there for the taking, okay?" "Are you kidding me right now?" Anna and Louis started to argue but I was able to stop them. "You two are only wasting time. If this potion does have a limit then we shouldn't waste any time we have left." "Fine but you and I aren't finished yet."
We keep walking and see a glowing blue door at the end of the hall. "I'm guessing that's Queen Lissandra's office?" "Only one way to find out." Jake starts walking towards the door. "Hurry up I'm not the only one going, am I?" Jake said gesturing us to hurry up.
*Door Knob Turns* "It's locked." "Great. What now?" Anna said looking at me. "Why are you looking at me?" "I mean you're the smartest out of all of us. So why not open that door for us?" "I'm not some sort of thief that picks locks for a living, Anna." "I might know how to." Louis volunteered.
Louis steps closer to the door and asks for Anna's hairpin. "Okay, I have to listen for the click so be quiet." Louis starts to turn the pin. "Since when did you even learn how to pick lock--" "Anna." Ken looked at Anna, his eyes raised. *Click!* "Got it." *Creak...* The door opens and reveals an office.
"Why does she have all these necklaces?" "I read some books about Iceleria and turns out if you become an Icelerian you wear one of those necklaces," I explained. "So it's like bracelets when you join a club?" "Exactly."
"Let's just find that book and get out of here." We started searching and soon we found the book. "Found it." Jake said as he raised the book. "Then let's leave." We all start leaving but I stop all of them. "What?" "Look." I pointed at the trapdoor on the floor. "That probably just leads to a storage.
"It won't hurt to take a peak right?" "Ugh fine but if we get caught im so going to kill you." Anna walks towards the trapdoor and opens it. *Creak...* "It's a book..." "Open it." "Okay." Anna opens the book and inside we see pictures. "What is this?" "That place doesnt look familiar to me. What about you all?" Louis asked. "Nope." We all said at the same time.
"Well, now we know what's inside so we should get going," Anna said as she's about to put it back but then I saw a photo fall. "Wait you dropped this." I picked up the photo and turned it around. "Wait...Everyone look at this." We look at the photo.
"What?" "Isn't this the Helaria cult?" "Yes, they are I remember their faces when they took us." "Why are they with Queen Lissandra and these women.
"This looks like a family photo..." Jake, suggested. "What do you mean?" "Take a closer look at this." Jake points at Queen Lissandra and the women's necks.
"I don't see anything." "They have a mark." "You're right." "And how does this prove they're a family?" "In the book, I saw a spell." "What spell." "A bond spell. When a family has their first child they go to the phythix so it can gift them with their family marking." "So you're telling us that this is their family marking?"
"Exactly." *ZHINGG~~* "What the hell?" "The spell wore off." "I told you, idiots, this would be a bad idea." "Let's just leave before Queen Lissandra comes back---" *ZHINGGG~~* "What is the meaning of this?!" "We're so sorry we just wanted to find the book of runes and spells."
"Give me back the book this instant!" We give her back the book. "You shouldn't be looking through my office when I don't permit you." "Wait but who are these people with you and the Helaria cult?" Ken gives the photo to Queen Lissandra and points to the family.
"These are my parents." "And who are the women beside you?" "You are in no position to ask such questions." "But we need to know." "And why would you need to know?" "Because we can help you find them." "What...do you mean?" "You said your sisters left a long time ago."
"You don't have to do that." "Why? Don't you want to see them?" "It is the complete opposite. I don't ever want to see their faces after what they have become." "What do you mean?" "Do you really wanna know who these women are?" "Yes." She takes a deep breath then tells us.
"These women are three fourths of the Yudetrinia sisters." "Wait then does that mean these women are..." "Yes, three of them are my sisters. They have become evil. They consumed magic too much for their bodies to comprehend. I tried stopping them but they wouldn't listen.
Their minds were completely focused on only becoming powerful mages the whole dimensions would ever know. And the price for that is that their minds have been corrupted." "Wait...Then one of them is..." "Morgana."
