Enchanted Book

The sun is shining, warm weather with cool breezes, calm puffy clouds, and a pretty blue sky. During mid-summer break, Ace gets out of bed and heads downstairs for breakfast. His mom had made pancakes and eggs for him and his two younger siblings. After eating he goes back upstairs to get ready for the day. When he finishes changing he heads back downstairs to meet up with his friends, Ted and Di'onna to go to the library. They hop on their bikes and race to the library. Once they arrive Di'onna says " haha, I beat you both." As they enter and look around they realize it was a complete mess. There were books, papers, and coloring utensils everywhere; on the floor, the tables, the chairs and even on some of the ceiling fans. The three of them at the same time said " what happened here." One of the librarians was able to get to her feet and greet them and says " preschoolers happened." After talking to the librarian they headed to the only corner of the library that was not hit by the tornado of kids. As they are looking through the books, Ace reaches to the top shelf to pull one of the books titled "The Enchanted Book." When he grabs it a loud click sounds and a secret passageway opens. The aura seems dark and dingy; the air stale and musky. The walls are made out of stone bricks and ancient looking torches line the walls of what seems to be a long spiral staircase.

 They all looked at each other with confusion and decided to go down the stairs. The moment they step foot inside, all the torches light up with a red-orange flame dancing upon them and the entrance slams shut behind them, this startles the trio and Ted says "I'm not sure about this guys. something feels wrong to me." 

Ace responds with " Yeah, I have that same feeling. However, I feel something, almost as if it's pulling me in."

Di'onna says "I am gonna have to agree with John, something is for sure telling me to continue."

As the trio moved through the stairwell they began to see a large set of doors. At the base of the stairwell they are able to fully see the door and notice some inscription of a language they had never seen before line the outer frame. Ace points out "Hey, do you guys see that?" 

Di'onna says "wow, do you guys know what these symbols mean?"

Ted chimes in " I think it is some kind of ancient language" 

They all notice on the front of the doors there are three circles protruding from it and in the center are hand prints. Ace says "I think we should place our hands on the circles," both Ted and Di'onna nod their heads in agreement. They line up with Ted on the left, Di'onna in the middle and Ace on the right. All at once they place their hands on the circles then a bright light flashes. The trio is forced to close their eyes from the light and when they reopen them they notice nothing happened. Di'onna says "wait was something supposed to happen or is this some sort of prank."

Ace responds with "I'm not sure but my hand is too big for this hand print, what about you guys?"

Ted says " yeah same, my hand is bigger but not by much."

Di'onna says "I mean it's kinda similar but my hand is way too small." 

They all switch places and now Ace is on the left, Ted is in the middle and Di'onna is on the right. They look at each other and on the count of three they place their hands in the circles; that same bright light flashes. Then loud rumbles begin and the sounds of rusty gears turning echo through the passageway. The doors begin to open up into a large chamber with weird statues of different mythical creatures like Salamanders, Mermaids, Dryads, Golems, Yetis and Avians. In the middle, stands a pedestal with a book with a golden aura surrounding it. Di'onna spoke with a nervous sound in her voice "Um, what is going on? I am not gonna lie this is kinda freaking me out, like what are all those statues and that book. I only came to hang out with you guys at the library."

John responds with " yeah I would have to agree I'm low key kinda nervous as well."

Ted says "I'm not sure about you guys but I think I'ma head back up the stairs." 

Then all of a sudden a whimpering voice is heard and it says "please, I need your help." This shocks the trio and they all jump back in fear. The voice says once again "please, I need your help, come closer to the book." Trio all look at each other in agreement and start walking toward the book. As they get closer to the book, the voice is heard once more and it says "thank you for staying," then seconds later it flies up and opens wide to let pages fly out everywhere and begin filling the room.

John, with a terrified tone, says "guys what is happening, I think we should have left when we had the chance."

Ted yells back "hey, we should try to make a break for it" 

Di'onna says "help me, I'm being pulled in." The boys look over and see that she is fighting to not be sucked away; they rush over to her and try to help. However, right before they reach her, a wall of papers appear and prevent them from saving her as she gets sucked in. The boys look at each other with fear in their eyes and try to run towards the stairs only to be stopped by a massive wall of pages. They try to fight back but the wall is too strong and it pushes them closer and closer until they get sucked in as well. All at once the book sucks everything into itself and the magic gateway attached to the library is sealed. The voice speaks to itself "thank you my chosen heroes, may the grace of the six pillar beast be on your side."
