"Terla,...Terla...."

"Mmmm...?" Terla finally responded.

"Where are you zoning out? I've been calling you like a thousand times."

"Ahh..,nothing." "Oh, almost forgot! Bro, do you have magic restoring potion anyhow?"

"Miss, you've asked the right person. I just made one this morning."

"So, you have?"

"Sure. But why do you need it? Your magic ran out again?"

"Yeah, as always. But this time it's taking longer..."

"Ok, it's in my potion room. Let's go down first."

Lucas grabbed Terla's hand and jumped down onto the wall.

"Hey wait, I haven't finished my burger." in Terla's hand a bite of burger was hanging.

Terla shouted but it's too late since she was already in the air when the voice reached Lucas.

"Ahh, I forgot." Lucas mumbled.

"What?..." before Terla got an answer, the two started to fall...

"Sorry, I forgot Lizard Feet has a time limitation." Lucas smiled awkwardly.

"What??!!!!!! Then drink another one!!!"

"I don't have another one."

"What do you mean by that? We should just fall and die? And wait, how many floors are there in the tower?"

"Ahh, I'm not sure. Maybe 50?"

"Wha...!!!!! You can still be this relax falling from the rooftop of a 50-storeied building?"

"Of course. Don't I have you? You can teleport..."

"Bro!!!!!!!" Terla bawled and Lucas finally realised what she meant.

"Damn..."

'Anna, can you force out my magic again?'

'Nope.' Anna answered abruptly.

'Wha..?You won't just let your new master die like this, right?'

'You are not my master.'

'But we made a contract, didn't we? You should protect me.'

'There's no need.'

'???'

Not long after, Terla felt a strong pull from the tower. She wasn't sure of the reason but her intuition told her she's safe.

Terla grabbed back Lucas's hand and... soon they, together, were dragged into the tower with a force of air whirling around them.

The whirl died down and they touched the ground again.

"Where are we? Miss, didn't you say you ran out of magic? How come you can teleport now? Were you trying to scare me to death?"

"No, I didn't." Terla said as she looked around.

They were in a library, an old library Terla is very familiar with.

"Why am I here again?" Terla murmured.

'The library is calling out to its master.'

'Master? Me?'

'Not yet. But very soon.'

*Ahook* *Ahook*

"Why is there so much dust in here?" nearby, Lucas was walking around curiously while fighting against dust storms with dissatisfaction.
