The words pierced his very soul. He felt tears well up inside him, he did not know why and he did not know this woman neither did he understand what she was referring to at all. But a part of him felt sad for the loss of her mind. "I don't know who you are or what we were but I promise you Nyssa, I will help you get your memories back, as for conquest and world domination." He chuckled a little to himself "I don't think I am cut out for that kind of life honestly."
Looking back at Nyssa he noticed she was watching him. "Are you alright, you stopped moving there for a moment when you touched the book and I was worried you might have hurt yourself."
He smiled to her warm concern and shook his head. "I am good now, Nyssa, thank you. I think I should hold onto this book while we decide what to do. I think we can learn a lot from it. Did you find anything useful?"
She shook her head and patted the bed. "I could not find a single thing here. The bed is super soft thought! It's like sleeping on air!" She lifted the sheets and noticed it was a giant bubble. Under it. Confused she continued to look at it and decided that she was going to poke tt. It jiggled like gelatine but did not pop. She continued to poke it and giggled at the movement it was making. Finally she laid down on it and it formed to her body.
"Oh I could get used to this it really is like sleeping on air. It folds perfectly to any positon I lay in come check it out Doric!" She laughed as she kept moving around on the bubble mattress. Walking over he touched the bubble and it jiggled he laughed a little. She smiled and grabbed his arm and pulled him onto the bed. He tussled for a moment to get his footing and ended up right next to her. Stuck in an odd position by the bed. His leg angled by his head and his arms in the crypt sleep position. Although surprisingly it did not feel uncomfortable.
He readjusted slightly and positioned himself sideways looking at Nyssa and started blushing again. "I've never been this close to a woman before! Not even Selena…" Nyssa turned to face him and felt the same way her face turning a shade of red. She quickly got out of the bed and started looking around absetmindedly laughing to herself.
"Well we better be going now, We still haven't figured out where we all and all that!" She kept laughing to herself and moved to the exit. When she touched the handled she felt a slight zap and pulled away. "Huh?"
Doric looked at her confused and got out of the bed as well. He walked to the door and went to open it and felt a light zap as well. "Is it a spell perhaps?" He thought to himself. "What could be keeping us in here?" He looked around for a lever or switch that could possibly turn off the electric current but to no avail.
Wandering around the room was now more of a mystery to the two of them. Instead of looking half haphazardly at things they now had a purpose. Getting out of this room. They checked under rugs and the bed as well as under and in the table. But nothing stood out as a button to stop the trap.
Finally Doric went to the last ditch effort and pulled the book out oh his pocket. He looked at it and was hesitant to open it again. Last time he did he got a strange message. Perhaps this time something else might happen. Looking to Nyssa who was a little concerned for him she finally gave him a nod and he opened the book to the first page.
MAGIC FOR NEWIBES CH. !
You might be wondering what magic is and how to use it. Well follow along with this chapter and by the end of it you too can be slinging spells like a pro! (Disclaimer: we are not liable for any damage you cause with the spells in this book!
"Ah its not just a spell book its a guide as well." Doric said reading each line carefully. He flipped through the chapter and it seemed like he was absorbing all the knowledge that came with each page. It came easy to him like second nature. He finally got to the end and it was the phrase he needed. He spoke the phrase aloud and his eyes began to glow a deeper brighter black before returning back to its normal color except he had something in front of his face.
A monocle, just like the one Nyssa had earlier. He was excited he had cast his first spell and it caused this. He looked through the monocle and saw a strange wisp of light all around the room. He looked at Nyssa and saw a glow around her and a number above her head. "4000, I wonder what that means…"
Looking at the door he saw another number and two symbols next to it. " 5500 and uh, lightning < Earth?" He took a moment to ponder what that meant. These numbers really did not mean anything to him he looked back at Nyssa who tilted her head and looked at him confuse.
"What is it?" She questioned looking more at the monocle than him.
"I think I can see numbers and symbols but I don't know what they mean." Doric kept looking around and seeing numbers and symbols on different things.
"Does the book say anything about it?" she pointed at the spellbook
"Oh right! Let me check." Looking down at the spell book he saw a bright flash of light and his monocle cracked. Before it did he saw the number 999999 repeated over and over again.
