The Light Side Of The Crystal

4. Books

It was a beautiful sunny day. The sun was shining bright and the sky was clear. Everyone was outside enjoying the beautiful day in some kind of form. But here I was on my way to spend the whole day in the library. The good news was that my head finally stopped hurting or if it did was way too slightly for me to notice.

I opened the big wooden door that led to the library. The moment I stepped foot inside the power came once again through me. Chris was sitting in the far off table, in front of the window, his nose was buried in some big old books and he was writing something in his notebook. When he heard me come in, he lifted his head from the books and smiled.

"Coming to learn?"

"Yep, still don't know from where to start," I complained and made my way to him. He was writing in some language that I didn't understand. "Do you learn it now or...?" I asked watching at the notebook with his handwriting on.

"I am learning it now and so far it's awesome," he said proudly admiring his work. The sun rays coming from the window reflected on his blond hair and made it even, blonder. He looked at me curiously and his eyes almost made a thin line. He frowned.

"Did you do something with your hair?" He asked, looking like he was seeing something different or very interesting. I looked at my hair that was still looking the same as the last time I saw it, which was before I came here. It was still brown it was still a little curled at the end. What was he talking about?

"No, why?" I asked him skeptically. Boys, what do they know about hair?

"It looks a little bit brighter," he said still looking with his eyes semi-closed.

"Oo-kay it must be from the sun"

"Yeah...maybe," he said and returned his attention to the books in front of him. Sometimes he was so strange and random. I left him alone and stood still at the center of the library. I closed my eyes and let my mind wonder. What was I searching for? I was probably searching for the book that could lock my crystal. I felt the energy of the books all around me but they were all smeared into one big bright energy. I knew that that was the energy of every book here, but I wasn't sure how I was going to find the one I need in particular. I focused on the word 'locking spell' and 'crystal'. The bright lights all around me for a moment felt the same, but as I tried harder the lights started to fade one by one leaving me with just one light to follow. I opened my eyes and suddenly, I knew where the book was. With a smile on my face, I went straight to where I felt it was. So confident like I knew it from the start. It was on the first floor in the back. The furthest bookshelf on the left. I trailed my fingers on the covers and focused again. I smiled, it was on the third shelf from top to bottom on the right. And sure enough, there was the book. I smiled happily.

"I found it!" I screamed and ran to Chris."Look, I found it!"

He lifted his head lazily to me and laughed.

"Good job!" he said happily, I sat in the chair in front of him and opened the book. It was full of different spells.

"Woah...I can do all of this?" I asked him. He once again lifted his head from the book and looked at me.

"Yep, you know you can do clones too, right? You can try to send them to search for books."

I frowned. I didn't think about that. I was so used to doing stuff on my own that now when I have these abilities I didn't use them and I surely need the practice. Chris once again started to write something in his notebook and I looked at the book in front of me. It had drawings, like a typical spellbook in the movies. I flipped the pages until I saw a drawing of a crystal and smiled. But my smile quickly faded as I saw that it was in a language I didn't know.
