Love in Darkness

Chapter 20: The most dangerous

Eon had found the book titled Life and Death. It is a slender book. As soon as he opens the book, a gasp of horror and a scream of pain are heard. A smoke also came out, shaping the symbol of life and death - the ankh and skull. Eon is feeling anxious but at the same time thrilled. He mutters to himself, "This is it.". He flips the pages. All the information in the book matches the things that have happened to Eon. His hand glowing, positive emotions lead to giving life, and negativity leads to death. Every time Eon's glowing hands touch the ground, a result shows depending on his emotion. The book stated that if the fairy is feeling positivity, he would give life to any creature that had died, and for feeling negativity, every living being that has been touched would die.

Eon is amazed by reading all the facts and matches with his identity. But his forehead furrowed when he sees that there are only two pages left in the book. The book declares in the second to the last page that such power is so rare. And because of that, no information about the progression is found. Eon then realizes that something happened to him that he did not found in the book. It was when his entire body glow and everything that surrounded the oak tree had lived without him touching it. He remembers that it was the day when he discovered he had fallen in love and a lot of positiveness is emitting in his body.

This makes Eon remembers Selena. The big oak tree where he would spend his time staring at her - seeing her smile and hearing her voice. The thought of her made Eon feel sorrow. He did not even notice that such great negative emotion has the flowers and plants growing in the library, lost its life.

Eon snaps out of it and starts to focus again. He flips the book and is shocked by what he had read on the last page.

'THE MOST DANGEROUS KIND SO BEWARE NOT TO PLAY NOR TRICK WITH THE EMOTIONS FOR IT WOULD BE THEIR DEADLIEST WEAPON TO ACT REVENGE UPON YOU.'

Eon closes the book and is speechless. The book did not contain the full information he needed but he has a depth understanding of what he is capable of. It is getting late so he decides to keep the book and is about to use the door when he hears footsteps coming from outside. He backs away from the door and hides behind the bookshelf.

"Eon. I know you are in here. Where are you?!". Eon is puzzled but then he recognizes the voice. It is Denver. "How did he know?", he asks himself. Eon sighs. He does not want to be involved in a fight especially in a forbidden place of the magic realm. He thinks of a plan while listening to Denver and his minions taking down possible hiding places.

"It would be best if you come out now and I will show you mercy. But if you do not, I will finish what I had started in the magic school. You will exit this place with a broken face!".

Eon cannot fight, they outnumbered him. He cannot run for the door either, surely they had closed it. So Eon thought of using his powers to scare them away at least. He closes his eyes and thinks of the things that will make him emit negative sentiment. His body is starting to glow. The plants and flowers are starting to turn yellow and then brown. The bookshelves are also turning grey.

"What... What is happening?", one of Denver's minions utters.

"Denver? What is this? It does not look good.".

Upon seeing this, Denver's eyes widen and he could not think straight. They all looking around and realizes that everything is dying. Finally, Denver has found his voice, "This... This is impossible.".

As soon as Eon's anger flared up, all that has turned brown has become fire. Denver and his minions shout, panicking that the library is on fire. One of them had found the door, "This way!", and leads them out. They run and run until they are far away from the burning library. They are catching their breath when one of Denver's minions vent his anger.
