My vision got dark, i could not see anything nor feel anything. I was inside the bottomless pit of the abyss, i felt hands slowly covering up my body. I could not breath as the hands covered my head completely, unable to breath i tried to get rid of it. I could not move my arms, my body became paralyzed.
Feeling that i was dying, i was trying to escape. The hands pulled me into the bottom of the abyss, flashbacks came running inside my head. When i was stuck inside the lake, where a mysterious creature grabbed my leg.
I could not breath, i was running out of air and almost lost consciousness....
I was back inside the store of Everard, i was trying to regain my breath. I can breath again, and i was no longer inside the abyss.....
"What was that?!!"
Citra sat back down on the chair, and told me....
"That was black magic, you saw the darkness pulling you down the bottomless pit. That is one of my abilities, the ability to trap the mind inside that dark space"
"....can the person die inside that space?"
"Mentally, yes. Not physically, it just messes up their perception on reality"
"Is there a time limit for a person to become trap inside?"
"Not exactly a time limit, i am the one who decides whether i want to trap them inside, or pull them out that space. Either way, their mental will not be the same"
I was scared sbout the capabilities of Citra, witnessing a first hand example on her abilities. It made me realize that there are many things that i cannot comprehend, as for now.
I was still recalling the time i was inside, i felt that i had truly died inside. Dark magic is more dangerous than i had expected, and is not something to be taken lightly.
"Are you alright, boy?"
Everard was concerned, i nodded and smiled to let him know that i am okay....
"Don't worry, kid. She did that to me too, but a lot more violent. She was holding back on you, otherwise you would not be able to regain back your consciousness"
"It was only a small percent when i did that to you, Everard"
"Small percent my ass, i was bedridden for 7 days when you did that to me"
Citra made a small chuckle, as if it had happened yesterday. Everard also was smiling.'
What is wrong with these people?'
I thought to myself, they were treating it as if it was big deal. These people are monsters, i cannot imagine what Citra did to Everard, and i did not want to ask. Otherwise, Citra without any hesitation would make me experience what Everard experienced.
"Anyway, you are going to the kingdom right?"
He asked Citra, changing up the topic....
"Yeah, Orson requested my presence. Telling me that there are traces of the so called "Lietx", i did not believe him at first. Because Lietx is just a made up name, with the intention of putting fear on citizens"
Lietx? Is that some kind of monster? It sounds made up, then Everard said to Citra...
"Orson is not the kind of person to request your presence, for something that is made up. It must a real thing, and not only rumours"
Citra agreed and rested her chin on her palm, while she was tapping the counter top with her index finger.
"That is true....."
She sighed and then stood up from the chair, she fixed up her dress and hair, indicating that she will be going now.
"Don't overwork your little apprentice, ill be going now"
They both said their farewell to each other, and we both watched as Citra exited out the store. Everard then suddenly clapped both of his hand, and told me that i can go home now. Since there are no other things to do inside the store, and i had successfully forged a sword, which he taked me to make.
I was curious on how to use magic, so i asked Everard, he explained it to me.....
"Magic is not a fixed ability, there are many types of magic. For example i have magic that makes me endure hot temperatures, and can also transfer that energy to a another person. The reason why i can do that, is because i had spent my life being exposed to high temperatures"
I understood on how what he was trying to say, he then further explained.....
"Magic can either be gifted to you, or you earned that magic through the struggles in your life. It is quite complicated and unpredictable, you do not know what kind of magic you can have, it just comes to you naturally"
"Is it the same as Citra?"
Everard shook his head, saying no to my question. He told me that.....
"Citra was born inside a family full of magicians, however both of her parents were not associated with dark magic, nor can use dark magic. She is the only one in her family that could use dark magic, while her siblings and both of her parents, uses magic inside the four elements"
It is also not something that is passed down through the bloodline....the more that i learn about magic, the more confusing it becomes.
"Do not sweat it if you do not understand, even Citra and I do not fully understand magic"
He closed down the conversation with that, and he went into a room next to the forgery room. With nothing else to do, i exited the store and looked at the time....
"5:21, maybe ill go back to the original world"
I decidee to do just that, i went inside the forest. Making sure that no one can see me disappear out of nowhere, after making sure that the area did not have people. I clicked on the button and went back to the original world.
Landing on my bed, i jumped off and grabbed fresh clithes so that i can go and take a shower. After taking a shower, my sister was inside the living room using her phone...
"Did you just arrived?"
I nodded and dried off my hair, i sat next to her and leaned on her....
"Can you get off me? You are heavy as shit"
I ignored her and was checking if Amelia sent me a message. Instead, Noah sent me a message telling me that Amelia texted him, asking about me.
Which is weird in my opinion, i responded to Noah and he proceeded to send me screenshots of the conversation that they had.
She really was asking about me, and my personal information. Which Noah did not spill the tea, because he knows that i do not like my information being spread. I respect him for that, i then asked Amelia on why she was asking Noah for my information.
She was confused and said that she do not recall chatting Noah, i found it suspicious so i decided to send her the screenshot Noah took. She was further confused, and denied that she did not ask Noah about anything.
I was trying to figure out what is happening, i asked her if someome had used hef phone. She said that her sister borrowed her phone earlier, and both of us realized that the culprit was her sister.
She excused herself for a moment, so she can confront her sister about the incident. And later she sent me a text saying that it was her sister, she told me that she was curious on who i was and wanted more information about me.....thats weird and odd.
Why would her sister be interested in me? I asked Amelia that, and she told me that she do not herself. Her sister did not say anything when she tried to ask her that question. That is clearly suspicious, my sister was reading our conversation and she also find it weird.
"Arent you a bit popular? When did all these girls suddenly started taling interest in you?"
She asked, which i do not also know the answer to that question. I shrugged and told her that i do not know, inside school i do not socialize with others nor is interested in socializing....so naturally i find it weird and strange. Then my sister suddenly told me that Quinn, one of her friends. Suddenly about me, and my sister found it creepy.
After all her friends are the same age as her, and they suddenly are interested in me? That is weird, especially in someone that is still considered as a minor. She told me that they were talking about me yesterday, my appearance and especially my height.
"Desperate much?"
I said to my sister, and she laughed and agreed. Which is self explanatory, after all, all of her friends are still single and she is also single. But having an interest on your friends brother? That is weird, and also desperate on wanting to have a relationship.
