Eio being skeptical at first, would  climb down the hole and  find a sort of shrimp like creature tickling  her sister Sio

??: oh ahem my bad,I should state myself ahem

He pulled out a giant  trumpet  and played it , shaking the ground around  them

EIO:GET TO THE POINT!!

Shrimus : o.okay.. *he sadly puts down his trumpet. I'm Shrimus, tunnel expert and coined as the magicians  map!

The two sisters looked puzzled
Sio:Big sis can you make  salt he makes me h

Shrimus:N-no need for that  ill get to the point ehe..

Sweating profusely, he would take out a stone tablet,tapping it would make  it glow , revealing a map of the world

Sio: wow........ its big!!

Eio: I never thought  I'd see it, but  its not like we need it anyway, our adventures  are somewhat close  to home anyway

As she walked away the Shrimp jumped  landing in front of her
Shrimus: that's where you're  *he reaches into her pocket  and snatches the few pages of their storybook* wrong
Eio:Hey! Give it b

Shrimus would sniff it all over , rubbing it against himself , then  looked at them, as they were looking  a tad disgusted

Shrimus: this... um.. this  book is not just any old book.. this  , is a ...  curses,I've read this  book  a few hundred years ago, why can't I remember the rest... it's  a history book.. of your  family line.. actually *he pondered before opening3 his eyes wider*, of all mages

He would dig into a wall nearby  extracting a  liquid  , spraying it on himself  and the sisters

In a few moments they would be hanging in the stars,Shrimus would recreate  the map with them
Shrimus: don't touch them unless you want to lose an arm,ahem anyway this  is the world , the continents, the countries,, pretty right?

The girls  nodded
Sio: now we might be able to travel

Shrimus scratched the back of his head
Shrimus; well um *he tapped the book , then looked at them, back and forth multiple  times.* about  that. I really hope you like discovering  because well
This book is missing  pages  and well, whoever  took them away obviously  wants to hide it. The issue is

Eio shook her head a bit disappointed
Eio:Is there no other way?
Shrimus: I'm afraid not.. So you best get trekking as soon  as possible, but before you go

He sped to the kitchen and returned  with a plate

Shrimus:care for cooked shrimp?

Sio dug in, while Eio grew pale and barfed, grabbing Sio by the neck of her shirt like a mother cat her kittens scruff.

Eio:we appreciate  it, any more help  or are you just going to keep  weirding us out?

Shrimus: plenty, but I won't bore you, you'll need to do some research  on the countries, all I remember  from that  book is ... the world is a  poem

The world is a wonderful place

Some for greenery some for scenery
Some for a pretty face

But some feel the faces and hearts are am ugly  shade

And paint them  red, green and black  with  an artistic and deceitful blade

Sio fell asleep, Eio wrote it down.

Eio: confusing.. thank you... Shrimpus
Shrimus:Shrimus!

Eio: yeah who cares , we'll  be on our way now

Shrimus with a sore  expression opened  a door to the outdoors  with a stern and awfully  cold look he said

Shrimus: remember  one more thing, in some places, opposites are everything and everything  is opposites, one can be three  and all can be none, the tentacles  of evil are deep rooted in places , in hearts, in minds, in actions.  If you go on this journey, a piece  of you will die, I've seen it happen  to every ambitious mage and I  pray that  for you two it isn't the wrong  one.

Eio: us three!
Shrimus: just three? Are you sure?..

The room felt... heavy, Eio picked Sio up on her shoulders, and  hurried out.

Shrimus would mouth "im sorry" before the door shut on him

Eio felt a heavy dread in her heart, she looked east, was it too late to go back..

Back to what? No family no home; we must press on. She would rummage  her and Sio's pack for dad and moms piggy bank savings they took before  they left  the house, and head to the nearest  merchant they could find

Lights  shon brightly on the  purple  hand that choked someone, the person couldn't talk

??? Go on , spit it out lest I rip your intestines out and feed it to you..

The hand would release  as the sound of a stick  was heard  somewhere in the room, the hand reverting to a brown  skin

He gasped

Negolius: what  are we dealing  with here..
