Where The Mind Is With Fear

Part 10

'The Basic Book of Magic: Amateur Readers'. I stared at the golden, bold letters engraved in the hardbound book. I was scared to open it, although before this I already had. The whole book was just an ancient maroon, with only the name of the book written on the front cover. 

With a dramatic slowness, I opened the first page. It said, " To The Holy Lord, with due respect, Minerva Ahura Sisley" . I flipped on to the next page and it had a table of contents. There were various things, but the one that caught my eye was Satan Lamia Kerberos Eleanore Russo. Guess why?

I turned to page 247 and saw a picture of Mrs.Russo, giving the camera an evil look, with one eyebrow cocked and her lips twisted in disgust. I felt a shiver run down my spine and quickly turned to the next page. Under Mrs.Russo's huge name was captioned: An heir seeker. There was an article about Mrs.Russo which I read over again and again. 

 Satan Lamia Kerberos Eleanore Russo, heir to Satan Desdemona Kerberos Eleanore Russo, was recently sent to the prison because of violation of certain rules. She had misused the Schizone network in order to enter the premises of The Lord's Kingdom and tried to kill His Majesty. Not only was she caught but also pronounced a death sentence. However, Satan Desdemona Russo, who worked for The Lord for 64 faithful years, prayed to Him that Satan Lamia Russo be spared. The Lord gave her a last chance, but not before a prison sentence for seven years. 

It is said that Satan Lamia Russo now resides in the prisons of our world and plans on making new devices to overthrow The Lord after the completion of seven years. When asked by a local reporter, what she wanted to do after her stay in the prison, she replied valiantly,"I will return to my mansion, look for new heirs and rule over my people once again. Once the new heirs are of no use, I will kill them and make newer heirs. I must not disclose anymore" and with that she was hauled away to the prison.

News say that after her rebirth by using heirs, she might attempt another attack at The Lord but that day is yet to come. Till then, beware all the readers. 

I took a deep breath, trying to analyse what I'd taken in so far. There were yet more pages about Mrs.Russo, but a knock on the door told me that I would have to read more later. At this time of the night, only FizzFire would come to deliver some message by Mrs.Russo or something. But, this time he came for casual talk! I wanted him to go away but soon I got engrossed in our chatter and didn't budge from my place until it was time for sunrise.

"Hey, we talked really long. You should go, Fizz. Mrs.Russo will be furious.", I replied sleepily.

"Yes, you should get some sleep too. Your eyes are red.", and with that he disappeared, obviously using the Schizone network. 

The next day, I wasn't really surprised when Seth came over with Abigail. I wasn't surprised even when Seth got a horse with him. It was brown and I didn't really know the breed. It looked like something very peculiar. "Hey. Surprised?" Seth asked giving that wonderful smile of his.

"I love brown horses", I said, stroking the horse. As was customary to me, I started talking to the horse. "Aw my cutie pie! How are you today? Is Seth troubling you?" I asked mockingly.

Seth chuckled and I saw his jaw bones reflex. My heart raced at like some eight hundred k mph and I just knew I was blushing because Seth went like, "I see you red every time your with me."

TALK about embarrassment. "So l-lets do s-something f-fun", I stammered, quickly changing the topic.  Seth knew I was embarrassed and said,"Sure but first I got my horse for a reason. We are going horse riding."
