Chapter 9

So let me get this straight, "The lanterns will break once it has been lit, leading to the entire library burning down", yeah the whole place will get burnt out? That is what the scroll says.

So the books will all be burnt to crisps. Leaving nothing intact. I guess everything of my family is really going to disappear along with me. Since great grandfather has told to do so, I think it is necessary. I have to do this for my family.

The scroll said that I needed to do it after the 'procedures' right? What are these 'procedures'? I continue to read the scroll.

"Now moving to the most important part.

The procedures: Listen closely fellow Linndon, this procedure that you are about to learn is going to be using your knowledge of the Linndon family.

The spells from book 117 VI B, 1003 XI G, 34445 II F are used to create a new spell and that shall be the introduction to the procedures. Memorising the books as well as the procedures are must, but as a Linndon, I do not think it is going to be an issue." He is right so far, we have terrific memorising skills. I don't know why though. Anyway, I do remember these books but...spells?

*Snap* I snap my fingers. "So that's what those gestures were for. No wonder I couldn't understand." I thought it was some kind of exercise or some secret sign language. I tried to look it up but I didn't find what those gestures meant. Now it's all coming together. The pieces are finally being put together.

"The gestures are to be done continuously in the order of that of the books." I can do that.

"Along with that, certain words are to be chanted to ignite the Linndon crystal inorder to open the portal that binds the two worlds together." Let's see what those words are.

"Leio suerio thesyouni masavirin

Gousviya fosthine foruustherim

Alewenthe ovuerde yoiroru vasarde."

Wow. That's something else. I have seen theses texts in those books but man... It really is quite a sentence. What do I do after that?

"Using this with the Linndon crystal, will allow you to create the portal. The suitcase in the room contains all that you need for your journey across another world. The skills and knowledge of the Linndon family is very rare and quite powerful in other worlds. Use it carefully."

Wait, so what? I can use this spell to return back or what? I think he might mention it somewhere. Hmmm...Oh, I found something related to that, " The crystal is must to use to create the portal and it will never work in the other world. The spell is made by me and it is a life changing spell. You cannot undo the changes. There is no turning back on this. You have to make the most important decision of your life." Not making it easy huh?

Well I at least expected that. If I could return back, then I'm sure my parents, grandparents as well as great grandparents would come and go from other worlds as they pleased. The scroll also mentions that each time the portal is opened it is most probably another world, meaning that if I open the portal to another world, it might not be the same world where my parents went to.

I kind of already knew that but..... I was hoping to see their faces again. Deep down I was thinking that there might be a chance that I could meet them. Being a member of the Linndon family is not really the easiest thing to do.

Why am I fretting over such a thing?

That too, now. There is no turning back, I have come this far and to be running away from this, just means that I am running away from my destiny.

I roll up my sleeve. I continue to read, " The spell cannot open a portal in the other world but it can be used, just not for this purpose."

What? " The spell is not useless in the other world, in fact, it's much more useful in the other world. Its uses are to found by you." There are some things written besides the instructions.

It reads, "Good luck Duero." The first part of it seems to be written by great grandfather. " I know I will not be able to meet you but I know that you will turn out to be a great young man."

He got most of it correct except the young part. I laugh to myself. " Go and find what you have to do in the other world. It's a tough world but you can pull through it." To be this nice to a great grandson that he didn't even meet, I'm really touched.

Next is from grandfather, "My dear Due. I am really sad to be leaving this early in your life. You will do great in the other world. Just be yourself and don't forget what you have learnt."

Next is... Oh. It's just the next instructions.

"Nothing from dad and mom, eh?" To be honest, I was disappointed. I thought I would receive a letter from them.

*Sigh* "Now's not the time to be doing this. I need to do this. For mom and dad. The least I can do is make them proud" I stretch my hands.

The instructions, "This is the final step in all of the process and yet it is only the beginning. If you have memorised all the things mentioned beforehand then, place the Linndon crystal where it shall be fitting after reading the word."

What are they? "Yovuahoriano?" Weird word.

*Woosh* The words on the scroll just vanished. "What?!" I am baffled.

"What are these?" Instead some symbols showed up. I need to rearrange the scrolls once again.

I move and rotate the scrolls until they match up, "There we go"

It becomes a ring on arranging. "Place the Linndon crystal where it shall be fitting." I take the Linndon crystal from my pocket and place it on the ring.

The ring on the scroll glow as I keep the crystal on it, "Woah".

Now I am supposed to chant the words along with the gestures, right? Let's see.

"Leio suerio thesyouni masavirin

Gousviya fosthine foruustherim

Alewenthe ovuerde yoiroru vasarde."

I move my hands according to the gestures that were showed in the books.

*Flash* "What's with this light?!", the scroll flashes so brightly that it's almost blinding. Wow.
