The Spells that Bind Us

The Book

I woke up in cold sweat. I noticed something. The book we had gotten yesterday was glowing. I got up and walked over to the book, I opened it ot find strange symbols pulsating at random intervals. I looked harder at the symbols, one was familiar, the symbol on the Tainted Sun's cloaks, the runic symbol for taint.

The realization hit me, it was an ancient runic spellbook, all of them had become unstable since the ancient form of RuneCasting had faded away. I immediately tried to Bind the book shut. The pulsating light burned my magic away. Stunned I stumbled back, only very strong magic could destroy energy that quickly. I turned around to see Jax starting to wake up. I quickly condensed the situation and practically dragged him out of bed and told him to go outside.

As he was leaving I grabbed some ethereal wire, a wire enchanted with the ability to pass through itself. I tied the book up and it luckily didn't burn away the wire. I then threw the book out the window and jumped out after it. Right before I hit the ground I made a net of energy to catch me that was quickly burned away after I had landed.

Then Jax got outside and grabbed the book and got as far away as he could while I opened a crevasse in the hill. I then shaped some stone into a chest for the book. I waved Jax over and he put the book inside. I closed it and started to Bind the chest shut. Fortunately, it worked, Jax then picked up the chest and tossed it into the crevasse. I closed the ravine and went back inside. We waited for about an hour before we went back to bed, yet neither of us slept after that.

Sorry that this is so short...  I have the other four written out, but typing is going to take awhile...
