Astro and Wonderman: (The Adventures of Team Pixie) Book 9: The Book of Secrets

The journey to Josh

(Lulu's point of view)

I told Star and Aaron we'd have to go to an ancient wizard named Josh. He'd been able to do lots of things though he was known for evil. However if you gave him something good in return he might give you what you ask for. I believe I could trust him with what I planned to give him. I planned on giving him the power to see into the future.

For a wizard who had learned a lot of magical powers he should be interested in such a power. It took a while but eventually we got where his building  was. It was a bit hidden from the rest of the world. However, if you had powerful magic you knew there was a way to get in and revel it only to you. I knocked on a certain way a certain way and a magic portal opened. We all walked into it and in front of us stood another building.

We opened the door to find a darkly lit room.

"What can I do for you?" A low voice asked. He had black hair and green eyes. He also wore a leather black coat and pants.

"I'd like you to help me make a spell to separate a demon from a human" I requested.

"That requires great magic. I do hope you have something in return for me" Josh replied.

"I'll give you my power to see into the future" I voiced determined.

"Not everyone can handle that magic. How do I know your not trying to end me in the long run?" Josh asked.

"With as much magic as you have I doubt it would be too much for you. You've proven you can handle a lot of magic powers" I told him.

"Point taken. You give me the power first and then I'll give you a potion made for this very occasion" Josh ordered.

I nodded and closed my eyes. A light also started surrounding me and a magical eye appeared on me and Josh. My eyes glowed white and my hair was flowing but slowly the eye was testing the mental strength of the man.

The magic slowed down some with my hair which meant that he was worthy. Before I knew it we both fell into a trace. I saw into his past and he saw into mine. It was because this was one of the ancient powers. It couldn't be passed along without consequence.

Once we saw each other's past the eye symbol disappeared on my face and Josh closed his eyes.

I landed on the ground and Josh opened his eyes indicating the power exchange had been successful.

"Alright, here's the potion. However, please note that the potion alone isn't your answer. The wizard your trying to break free must do some of the work as well. He has to want to be free in order for him to be free. So someone would have to convince him to be good" Josh told us.

We nodded our heads up for the challenge. So we were teleported somewhere a little closer to home but that would keep Josh's hideout a secret. It was genius really.

"Alright, let's go save Plete!" Star voiced.

So we went to town but when we arrived even though it had been a short time demons were everywhere.

"This doesn't look good. How are we going to get past the demons?" Aaron asked.

Both of me and Star looked deep in thought.

"Aaron you and I must fight the demons off. It would buy Star some time and perhaps she can sneak by without even being noticed" I suggested.

"No way. I need to make sure Star is okay" Aaron protested.

"I'll be fine. Stop treating me like I can't take care of myself. I know you can in this situation as well. I believe in you, Aaron" Star stated.

So Aaron and Lulu got their fire magic out and then charged into the hall. This distracted them so that I could sneak into the castle. I did this safely. I saw an underground entrance so I went in that way.

I grabbed a torch and lit it up with my fire magic. As I walked I noticed a few carvings on the wall. It pertained to do with Astro. I noticed that as I passed by each of them every single one had come true. Though, there was some magical barrier of some sort blocking some of the remaining wall. There wasn't much left but I guessed it was the worlds way of making sure I couldn't see into the future. I continued to walk forward towards the part that I couldn't see when I noticed a wall. It had three dragons on it and behind one dragon stood Astro's family. Behind another dragon stood Caleb, Starlight and their family. Behind Leo stood a lot of people that were part of the evil community. On the ground was a battle. On one side stood me and my family. While the other side had even more people in the evil community.

I stared at this wall trying to comprehend the meaning behind it. I couldn't quite do it and when I touched the wall my hand went through it. Shock made it's way on my face now. Walls weren't supposed to do such things after all.

I was then in the scene of the drawing. They got into battle but all I could hear was Astro's voice.

"I see. The earth was never meant to last this long with magic" Astro voiced.

With the help of Wonderman Astro was able to transform into her human form and she held Starlight's hand and someone else's hand. Their were five people in the sky and together they used magic powers. A vibrant white light came around us and we were all slowly disappearing. The next thing I saw was all of us except we seemed to be on a place without magic.
