After talking with Volt for a while I decided to take a look at the books.
First I picked up the leather book. It was light and flexible, the leather cover looked worn yet new and clean at the same time.
As I flipped through the parchment pages they were almost all blank. The first page had some writing on it.
{Please Enter Name}
"Based on what Brakos said all I have to do is name the book and let a few drops of my blood fall on it. after I do that then I can say another name and I will change." I said to myself
"Notebook," I said while holding the book and the part asking for a name changed to {Notebook}
"Ok so the name is set but I need to give it some blood... maybe I should leave it until I have looked at them all," I said not wanting to cut myself multiple times, or at all.
I was a little put off by having to give it my blood, it felt a little like I was giving it to a demon or vampire.
Next, I picked up the Blue [Appraisel] Book. Its cover was hard, firm and smooth. Just like the leather book the pages were empty aside from the first page.
On it were instructions on how to use the book. Thankfully I understood how to use it easily.
All I have to do is look or touch something while the book is on me and give the command. It will then appraise the item just like the recording of Brakos said.
I tried using it on Volt but since I hadn't made the contract yet nothing happened.
One thing I did realize is that I can set trigger words to activate it. So if want to be stealthy I can have some random words like Banana be the trigger word that will activate Appraisal.
I decided to leave it for now until I decide if I will break the seal.
I picked up the Black book. The Seal on my powers and yet also the core of them.
I was very similar to the blue book aside from the cover colour.
When I checked the first page instead of seeing instructions I came to... the table of contents?!
I read through the page and learned that this book, unlike the others this one is divided up into sections or chapters.
The first section had the word {Profile} written at the top.
Though everything was black other than the title, it would remain like that until I gave the book my blood.
The second had the title {Quests}. This one will hold all the quests I have or have completed.
The third was {Ability Inquiry}. This is where I write a list of powers/ abilities I want and the book determines an equivalent exchange for what I need to do and puts it into {Quests}.
The fourth was {Race}. This one will contain every piece of information about my people when added.
The fifth and final was {Contracts}. This one will have a list of all the spirits I have contracts with. Of course, it is empty but when the contract is forged it will show my contract with Volt, Brakos and each of the books.
I put the last book down and lay down on the bed thinking about what to do.
'it does feel weird sleeping in Terra's room but I guess I do spend a lot of time in here when I visit and they must have wanted me to wake up in a familiar environment.' I thought to myself trying to give my brain a rest. It has been a rough few days.
After a while, I looked over to Volt and asked "What do you think I should do? I will use the Blue and Leather Books but should I Break the seal now or wait until later?"
Volt chuffed and told me It is your decision. You are powerful already and can hide your magic but have gone through a traumatic experience.^
Magic flows depending on your emotions. People won't question if your magic acts spermatic right now, so if you Break the seal you should be able to master your power until you can hide it. I will teach you volt said offering assistance.
Taking Volt's words into consideration I decided to Break the seal.
I noticed earlier that the bag I was carrying in the forest was left in the room and thankfully my dagger, spear and wand were all here and fine.
I grabbed the dagger and was about to make a slight cut on my finger when a question came to mind.
"Wouldn't Brakos like to see this?" I said looking at Volt who was sitting on the floor now.
Volt shook his head and told me that those books do have spirits but they aren't powerful enough to warrant Brakos coming back here right now.
Thankfully by now Volt got over his fear of Brakos being a Primordial and decided to treat him normally.
I nodded and continued to make a slight cut on my finger and let a few drops of blood fall on each book. After a few drops fell each book glowed for a second and stopped.
...
...
...
"You know, I honestly thought something... cooler would happen," I said disappointed that nothing other than the books glowing for a few seconds.
Suddenly a multi-colored smoke fell off the Black Book and moved towards me.
"Never mind."
I kept my guard up but didn't try anything. Brakos said I would have to adjust to the book's powers the moment after the Seal was broken so I will let the smoke come to me.
As I watched the smoke it started to morph into a 10 ft tall humanoid shape almost touching the ceiling. I saw what looked like large Wings and a tail coming from its back. The head was like a dragon but smaller. The different colours part never stopped shifting places and the smoke took on a solid shape but it was detailed enough.
The shape, I recognized it, a Dragonian, it looked like a Dragonian. It looks like what I wanted them to look like.
I asked Volt what it looked like but Volt said it was a cloud of smoke. I realized I was the only one who could see its true form, the form of my future people.
It moved towards me slowly and I let it continue but remained on guard.
I told Volt to remain here and keep people out but to not leave me alone either, just in case.
As it got closed I saw it mirror my position then it flowed into me and seeped into my skin.
Immediately I doubled over in pain screaming. I could feel my heart pounding as it got stronger, my muscles tensed and released constantly, my blood boiling as it rushed through my body.
I could feel power swelling up in me and my body trying to adjust to its new power
my head hurting as my brain absorbed knowledge I didn't have about my new powers and the limits on my body.
I laid there for about 30 minutes when the pain started to subside and after another 10 minutes, the pain stopped.
I just lay there trying to catch my breath.
Volt walked over to check on me and licked my hand when he saw I was ok.
After another 10 minutes, I tried getting up. Surprisingly I had no trouble.
I felt slightly stronger and could feel my Mana Pool was almost 2 times larger. Even though it was small already.
I decided to check the books and what I saw amazed me.
The first page of the leather book says:
{Notebook}
{Please Enter Name}
{to obtain the next book please consult [Quest: Book in a Book 1]}
while the rest was Blank
I decided to leave giving it a second name until later and checked the Blue Book next.
The First Page said:
{Appraisel}
{Please Enter Activation words below}
{Command Words: Appraisel}
I decided to add 2 words and a safety guard
{Command Words: Appraisal, Analise, Identify}
{will only activate if receive mental command as well}
finally, I checked the Black Book and the first page was Crazy
