Now Iris has read all the books she had and mostly all the books she borrowed from others and the library, she even finished the book she bought yesterday, but even if she didn't read all the books in the world she was tired of the same topic or genre.

So Iris hunted her house for more books the next day , as she searched everywhere her dad asked as he got ready for work, "What are you doing Iry?"

She replied "I'm looking for a book. One that is better than the ones I have already read."

"What's wrong with the ones you already have or the one you bought yesterday?"

"I finished reading them all. I've even re-read them," Iris said as she continued scrambling through the shelves of the room.

"Really?" Asked her dad, "Well then why don't you look in the basement or the attic? Maybe you could find some of tmom's old books."

"That's a great idea!" exclaimed Iris.

So Iris started looking for her mother's books in the basement. Half an hour later, looking in the basement she didn't find any books and by that time her dad called her.

"I'm going to work now, so be careful. If there is anything, call me ok? Oh, and food is in the kitchen. Love you!" Said her dad as he gave Iris a hug and a kiss and she returned them to her dad.

"Love you too, bye!" Iris said to him.

When her dad left she ran up to the attic to look for books. When she got there, she was amazed! There were a lot of mystical and mysterious stuff that belonged to her mom.

"My mom was probably an actress or a magician," sais Iris to herself as she looked around.

She saw many things like robes, goblets, and other interesting but weirder magic stuff.

"Wow! Mom probably liked Harry Potter or other magic sci-fi books," said Iris to herself.

Then she saw a few books in a box nearby.

"Yes!!!" said Iris, excitedly as she went to look in the box.

As she looked in the box there were many books with writings and scribbles like notes and annotations. on them.

"That's probably my mom's writing," Iris continued to think out loud as she thought about her mom.

Then one book caught her eye it looked ancient and mystical and it was covered in dust and cobwebs on the bookshelf, so she went to take a look at it.

She took the book off the shelf and blew the dust of of it. Then she saw the fine details on the book from a nice hard red cover, to the floral vine-like details drawn in in gold. The title was also written in gold it said 'The Seven Realms'.

"This book looks really interesting," said Iris smiling out of curiosity.

As she opened the book, a huge gust of wind came out of it following a bright light. When Iris looked up trying to look away from the wind and light, she saw words fly out of the book spelling something out.

It said "haka gnu imp pol qui"

"What the heck is 'haka gnu imp pol qui'?"

As she said this more words came out of the book and bunched up together to create someone or something, as this happened the wind grew stronger knocking Iris of her feet and onto the floor. As she fell the wind stopped and when she opened her eyes she saw a man in front of her.
