Chapter 2 - A Dusty Old Book

Nick got home and walked towards the bathroom he was sweaty and wanted a warm shower. After a nice wash, he slipped on his pajamas and his favorite jacket. He walked to his kitchen to make dinner before realizing he still hadn't opened the package from Adelle his sister. So he grabbed the box sat on his couch and pulled the paper wrapping off. After peeling the paper off he was confused, it was a book and a note.

The Note-

Dear Nick

If you have received this it appears i got in more trouble than i imagined so I might've sent this to you for multiple reason. This book is now yours and whatever secrets it holds will be yours to solve. I don't know what it is or how it came to be in my possession, but what I have figured out is that this book is special. The stories it contains were used as the bases for many of the movies you and I used to watch that includes some that we didn't watch together. The stories are different and are somehow magical. So i hope you can figure out the magic of this book, and that i didn't just disappear. Whatever you do with the book and its magic is my gift to you, happy early birthday.

I will miss you, from Adelle

Nick felt many emotions, he didn't understand, what was his sister trying to tell him. She always tried to be more mysterious than she should be. He looked over at the book and really took in its details. The cover was maroon and covered in various swirling designs, brass plating around the edge of the book, the book was slim but as he peeled back the cover and looked at the pages they look as if they go on forever. He turned to a random page and read.

"Oh, imagine a land, it's a faraway place

Where the caravan camels roam

Where you wander among every culture and tongue

It's chaotic, but hey, it's home"

Wait isn't that the opening song from alad...
