Chapter 15: The Crypt Keeper's Solution

____

Agatha held her school book, sitting in her room where she was locked up for the moment. The cover was silver silk, painted with glowing Storian clutched between black and white swans.

A Student's History of the Woods
Agust A.Sader

Agatha opened to the first page.
"This book reflects the views of its author ONLY. Professor Sader's interpretation of history is his alone and the faculty does not share it. Sincerely, Clarissa Dovey & Lady Lesso, Deans of the School for Good and Evil."
Agatha felt encouraged the faculty disapproved of the book in her hands. It gave her more hope that somewhere in these pages was the answer to the riddle. The difference between a princess and a witch... the proof Good and Evil were balanced... Could they be the same?

She flipped the page to start, but it didn't have words. Splashed across it were patterns of embossed dots in a rainbow of colors, small as pinheads. Agatha turned the page. More dots. She tore through fistfuls of pages. No words at all. She dumped her face to the book in frustration. Sader's voice boomed:
"Chapter Fourteen: The Great War."

Agatha lurched up. Before her eyes, a ghostly three-dimensional scene melted into view atop the book page– a living diorama, colors gauzy like Sader's paintings in the gallery. She crouched to watch a silent vision unfold of three wizened old men, beards to the floor, standing in the School Master's tower with hands united. As the old men opened their hands, the gleaming Storian levitated out of them and over a familiar white stone table. Sader's disembodied voice continued:
"Now remember from Chapter One, the Storian was placed at the School for Good and Evil by the Three Seers of the Endless Woods, who believed it the only place it could be protected from corruption..."

Agatha gawked in disbelief. Sightless Sader couldn't write history. But he could see it and wanted the same for his students. Every time she turned a page and touched the dots, living history came alive in his narration. Most of Chapter 14 recounted what Sophie had told her and Y/n at lunch: that the School had been ruled by two sorcerer brothers, one Good, one Evil, whose love for each other overcame their loyalties to either side. But in time, the Evil brother found love for his brother to give away to temptation, until he saw only one obstacle between him and the pen's infinite power... his own blood.

Agatha swept over bots, scanning exhaustive scenes of Great War battles, alliances, betrayals to see how it all ended. Her fingers stooped when she saw something interesting, because everything froze. Slowly she moved her finger along. Everything had been turned to gold, except one flying boy who flew inside the School Master's time. But he never came back out, and the gold disappeared. Sader was awfully quiet, like he was expecting people to quickly skip it all over. The two brothers took each other's hand and walked into the tower together, only one came out.

One killed the other.

A familiar figure walked out of the tower. In silver robes and mask, the School Master walked out, holding the Storian in hand:
"From the final fight between Evil brother and Good brother, a victor emerged beholden to neither side. In the Great truce, the triumphant School Master vowed to rise above Good and Evil and protect the balance for as long as he could keep himself alive. Neither side trusted the victor, of course. But they didn't need to."

The scene flashed to the dying brother, bleeding out on the floor, stab wound on his chest, he held his hand into the sky and unleashed a burst of silver light–
"For the dying brother used his wizard wish to create a last spell against his twin: a way to prove Good and Evil still equal. As long as this proof stayed intact, then the Storian remained uncorrupted and the Woods in perfect balance. And as to what that proof is..."
