chapter 37

(Credit to Andrew p. King lovely video. )

We sit on the couches and faced each other with my book on the table opened to a single blank page that was found in the back of the book.

"The first step for this to work put a drop of your blood on the page." He sat back and relaxed like he done this before.

I looked up at him then my book, I brought my finger to my lips. I bit the end of my index with my sharp teeth breaking the skin. My blood was black as a night sky, it streams down my finger, I watch it drop onto the page.

As it came in contact the blood acts like it has a mind of its own. It begins to move into a giant circle then created a symbol in the middle. "What is this?" I asked him not looking away from the book.

"I don't see anything."

"What do you mean you don't see anything?" I looked up at him confused then looked back down at the page, the symbol is gone.

"Strange..." I spoke softly

"Only the royal family can see what's on these pages, ones like myself we can only see it if we consume the blood of our masters." He stood up and stretched a bit before going to the bedroom in the back.

"Then how did- ?"

"Oh, you mean the girls Julie and whats her name Janet?" He comes out of the room with a small bottle.

"Jessie..." I looked at him a bit annoyed. "Don't act like you weren't there during those years, I felt your presence."

He smirks "here you go you will be needing this." He said as he set's the bottle down on the table.

"What is this for?"

"But yes, You're right I was there but I was only following orders." He sat back down on the couch in front of me.

"You will see." He answered my other question and played with his smoke and formed it into a small black ball and spun it around in the air as he watches me.

I ignored him and looked down at the page I saw the symbol again but this time it glows a bright purple. It forms a little more then comes off the page like a hologram.

I formed a small candle sized flame in the palm of my hand. "What do you see? You have to tell me so I can guide you." I ignored him as I increased the size of the flame until its the size of a tennis ball.

I put the flame under the symbol. The flame levitates upwards away from my hand, I pulled my hand away.  He keeps silent and watches me closely.

The flame grows larger as it begins to swirl a bit like a light breeze entered the room.

Without thinking I reached for the flame. "what is it?" He asked softly as he leans away from the flame.

I still ignored him and stretched my hand out to the flame, the flames move from my fingertips to my wrist to my elbow up to my shoulder. On my wrist, I felt a slight pain as I turn my arm over and saw the symbols that were under the flame has burned itself into my skin.

"What is this?" I asked.

"It's the royal symbol."

"I thought this was to help me learn every spell in the book not brand me."

He chuckles a bit "no, think of it as a simple tattoo, not a branding."

"Put your hand on the book and think of the book as a soul....but this time combined it with your own." He said as he takes his hair out of the braid and lets it fall.
