On With The Show

Chapter II: The Basics

*Brice POV*

Seto walked up to a pillar. I looked at him questionably. He smirked and pushed a section of the pillar away, revealing a ladder. Seto motioned for me to climb down first.

Once in, he climbed down after me. The room was made out of nether brick and obsidian, arrayed in a delicate pattern. A chandelier was suspended high in the middle of the room, shinning brightly. Down in the far corner of the room there was a group of desks, items scattered all over it.

Seto walked over and cleared a space for us to work.

"Okay, first we need to teach you the unlocking charm, so you can get into the fortress,"

Seto showed me the correct hand movement to use over the doorknob.

"No, you do it like this," he said, showing me.
"Like this?"
"Yeah,"

After showing me the correct hand gestures, Seto told me the enchantation.

"Here," Seto said, "Use this for practice,"

He showed me a locked trapdoor. I hovered my hands over the lock and muttered the words. The first few tries didn't work. CLICK!

"Good work Brice! You got it fast. No one gets the hang of it that fast,"

I blushed at the words that were meant for me.

"That's enough work for today, we don't want to tire you out yet,"

We climbed back out into the big throne room. Seto lead me to where I was going to sleep. He left me, and I tried to get to sleep but something was keeping me awake. Suddenly, a bright light was searing at my eyelids. I quickly opened my eyes to find out what was bothering me. Nothing was there.

I decided to go see Seto about this. Something obviously was wrong, maybe he would be able to sort it out.
