The mysterious book
During the lunch break,Solestia had dragged Ryan along to the library.The school library was huge and held just over one thousand books on it's many dusty shelves.Because it was so big,it often left many areas of the library empty and untouched.Ryan trailed sulkingly after Solestia who flitted from shelf to shelf,browsing through the many neatly placed books.
"This is boring." Whinned Ryan,sitting in a puffy armchair.His voice echoed off the dully coloured walls before being answered with a sharp 'shooshing' sound from a nearby librarian."Why are we here?!" Ryan continued in a low hiss.
"What better way to kill time than to look through old books that probably haven't been touched in years?" Solestia whispered as she held a particularly heavy book in her arms and blew off the dust that had collected on the cover over the years.She handed it to Ryan without warning and he fumbled with it in mid-air before dropping it on his shoe,the hard surface of the book adding to his pain.The book then landed with a muffled 'poof' on the carpeted floor.Ryan moaned and bit into the sleeve of his uniform shirt to stop himself from crying out,earning a death glare from the librarian.He frowned and picked the book up,carefully placing it in his lap as Solestia sat in the chair next to him.The librarian gave him one final glare before pacing to the other side of the library.Ryan flipped the heavy book over and over again,looking for something.
"There's no title." He deadpanned,"Just a picture on the front of it....That's weird" Solestia looked at the book and nodded in agreement.Indeed there was no title.The picture was of two swords locked together.The one with bits of cursed flesh stuck to it seemed to be pulsing with a red ominous glow that just showed it true nature while the other sword was made of white crystals and seemed to be imbued with the power of light.
"Open it,Ryan." She urged impatiently.Ryan tried to pry it open but failed."Quit fooling around."
"You think I am???" He grunted in annoyance before giving up."It won't open."
"Why not?" Ryan rolled his eyes and set the book down.The swords soon began to shine with a strange violet light and the two teens felt pulled towards it.
"WHOAH!!!" Ryan managed to choke out before being swallowed into the dark abyss.
