" I can't believe we got dragged into this because of you" said Arya , " what's with you?, Grandma only asked us to show her where the library is " said Zoe but Arya did not stop glaring at me I guess she is still mad at me for refusing her offer. I'm starting to see her real character.
We walked into the small town, I was greeted by quaint shops lining the stone streets. I almost got invited by Colourful banners that swayed gently in the breeze to explore the various goods that were displayed. The smell of freshly baked bread wafted through the air, mingled with the scent of flowers blooming in window boxes.
Houses with thatched roofs and wooden shutters dotted the landscape, each one unique in its design. Children played in the streets, their laughter ringing out as they chased after each other with the wooden swords and the handmade toys.
Trading stores bustled with activity, as merchants haggled over the prices of goods and villagers bartered for necessities. The sound of clinking coins and the sound of conversations filled the air, they created a lively atmosphere.
The Magical carriages here looked different than those back home, pulled by horses their drivers wore colourful cloaks and hats shouting at everyone to get off the road while also saying rude words.
" We're here ! Come on in unlike other towns it doesn't cost to get in " said Zoe while running inside , Arya groaned " I can't go anywhere with this fool" I hoped they would immediately leave after showing me the library, I can return just fine without them cause a certain someone was in my pocket.
I walked in to a cozy building with wooden shelves filled with weathered books. The walls are decorated with old uninteresting paintings, creating a library atmosphere I guess. In small tables a few , less than five people reading quietly with books in their faces or faces in their books. There was also a small table that had a sleeping old woman who even had a bubble growing and shrinking from her nose when breathing.
" Since you're already here I think it's time for us to leave , we won't waste time here there's hunting for us to do and fortunately for us we won't have to share anything! Zoe let's go " said Arya making me blink at her , does she actually know that she's doing me a favour ? " Okay then Claudia see ya when we come back home...I guess" said Zoe while being dragged by Arya.
I walked towards the shelves that had books in different sizes organised neatly, originally I came to find something that'll help me with what I was struggling with i don't even know what it'll be called . The book "instructions for magic without moonra to control the natural water and figures out the rest for you !"
" need help? If not then move out the way" Mnh?
I got startled when a voice came from behind me , when I looked at its owner it was a boy with jet black hair and black eyes , he was a little bit taller than me wearing neat black pants , black boots and a black robe like jacket with huge sleeves. He was just so eye catching like you'd wish he'd just shut up so that his mouth doesn't ruin it for you, wait ! What am I saying? The irritated look on his face showed he wasn't interested at all in helping though he asked if I wanted one.
"Well?" , " Sorry you can continue with your precious stroll I was just caught up in what I came here for " I did not bother to look or hear what he'd say and started to look at any book that'll help me or interest me. I only came across with
" How to take care of a moonra "
" The theory of achieving higher spells"
Things that were useless and so on , I went to another shelf and stopped at a red book . The tittle was " magical " places and my first thought was mana I went to one of the tables to sit and read there , I got angry glares when I pulled the chair making me mouth a sorry to everyone.
I read the intire thing and it didn't speak about places filled with mana or hidden magical treasures , it talked about the best places for one to visit when going for a vacation. I doubt there'll be anything interesting for me in this library, I stood up ready to leave " leaving already? " It was that boy again and I swear there was just something about him. " Yes , there's no book that'll help with what I want" mnh again I received glares from talking yet when he was talking they didn't glare at him. " Where are you from, I can tell you're not from around here" said the boy , I remembered father's words about how I shouldn't let people here know my 'condition' meaning no one must know me" maybe next time".
...
What a waste of time , the library is useless there's no use in going back there. I was now walking in the forest feeling frustrated when suddenly I heard a low growl. I froze when a black baboon jumped off the tree that I had just passed and landed a few metres away from me. It was twice my size and judging from the blood dripping from its mouth it was eating flesh just now. The eyes were red , hands bigger than its head and the teeth though not long were very sharp.
Okay Calestia now is the perfect time for you to save me...again!
None of that happened it made me think that Calestia was maybe sleeping?
Inbetween the baboon and I there suddenly appeared some sort of black magic circle that after a few seconds the boy from the library appeared from it. " Is this what made you stop?" Said the boy staring at me with a smirk. H-how did he do that ? " Level three huh ? But it looks like it's already going to break through to the next level... if I'm not wrong "
What?
Seeing that another meal appeared the baboon looked overjoyed and actually spat on the ground. It clenched its hands into fists that got surrounded by a faint green light , I got confused at its next action. It pulled back it's fist like it was going to punch something and that was air. The boy grunted then held out one hand while the other was in a pocket. " Dark magic dark door circle!" Infront of my eyes the baboon punched out two green fists twice the size of the boy's head but before they were able to harm him a dark magic circle appeared in time and the fists disappeared in it.
How did he do it, he's so powerful that he can easily stop attacks that strong ? No they way he is so calm and unshaken means that he has experience! Zoe and Arya are nothing to him and I- I'm an ant ! What exactly have I been doing the past days!
The monkey was surprised but it only lasted for a second, it punched out four more fists and they were not only faster but also greener. It seems it finally takes him serious and no longer sees him just as just a weak prey. Again those four fists disappeared in the magic circle, the baboon quickly changed from fists and started releasing green balls from its palms. " No way it can already do that!? I should end this now!"
I did nothing but watch as he did another spell that shocked me more than I was already shocked. " Dark magic, reflect circle!" Another black magic circle appeared with different symbols from the last one and it released six fists similar to the baboon 's green one but these were black in colour.
Caught off guard the baboon could only stop two with the green balls that it had already sent out but it was hit by the remaining four sending it flying making it crush against two trees. " Dark magic , dark desire circle" another magic circle went to the baboon 's chest making me stare in anticipation for another awesome spell it immediately screamed in pain , again! infront of my eyes I heard the bones cracking and the ripping of skin. From its chest a green crystal forced it's way out killing the beast in a very cruel way.
" Man I'm so drained , but atleast I got compensation for that. Level 3 Fistboon not what I was looking for but it'll do "
What have I just witnessed?
