Treyx:

I searched frantically through the piles of books and scrolls Sjach was sitting at a nearby table surrounded by stacks and stacks of books, Kothar walked in

"Um. . . you called sir?" he said I whipped around
"I need your help to find something, a scroll with a very specific marking on the wax seal, it looks like a giant crazed smile. . ." I told him going back to searching he sighed muttering something about mundane tasks and wandered over to the books to look for them. I had just finished looking through the scrolls in the Isle I was on and was about to move to the next one when Sjach yelled that she had found it I rushed over to the table she was at surrounded by books and scrolls stacked high, I looked over her shoulder to see the scroll laying inside of a book

"It was just laying there?" I asked she nodded

"It has a nifty little spell on it that makes it compact without wrinkling," she said

"Good good, hand it here," I said she tossed the scroll over her shoulder closed the book, and put it on top of one of the stacks I broke the wax seal and a black thick substance covered my hands feeling like it could go right through me Sjachs eyes widened and she yanked the scroll from my hands and splashed water on the shadowy substance enveloping my hands when the water hit the shadows they melted off my hands and fell to the floor sinking into it I flinched slightly as some of it tried to grab at my shoe before seeping into the floor

"What, the FUCK was that?!!" Sjach asked I stared with disdain at the floor where the shadow had sunk through

"That was a safety measure," I replied Kothar sauntered over to see Sjach holding the scroll

"Oh good you found it," he said monotonly I handed it to him

"Here you open it," I said secretly hoping there were more shadows inside he opened it with ease no excess shadows seeping into him I silently cursed I took the scroll from him and opened it for myself

"Hmm, let's see, criminally insane. . . Murdered. . . don't care don't careeeeee- AH hah!! Here it is How To Summon and Unlock Prison" I muttered to myself

"Do do do. . . summoning ritual. . . candles. . . fire . . . door. . . ok!!" I muttered I pointed at Kothar

"grab some candles from the ritual room," I told him he nodded and walked off I turned to Sjach

"Can you get a key, any generic key will work," I asked she nodded walking off in a different direction I gathered the rest of the necessary preparations and waited Sjach arrived back first handing me the key Kothar came back with the candles I grinned

"Cool now who wants to come with me to do this because it's not safe to do it alone?" I asked Kothar opened his mouth to say something but Sjach interfered first

"Yeah no I'm out this one's all yours Koth" she said snapping and teleporting away Kothar cursed to himself as I smiled at him and said

"Let's do this,"

TJ:

I got over my shock fairly quickly and looked around at the sleeping people around me I looked over to where darks cloud steel dagger was dads words echoed in my head

"Don't come back empty-handed or you may have to find a new house to live in" I shivered standing slowly and creeping over to the dagger I picked it up walking over to dark I raised the dagger, but I stopped myself

What are you doing?! This isn't what you signed up for TJ.

I lowered the dagger slowly and tossed it back where it was, waking dark up in the process I turned away, she glared at me
