Chapter 91 Library of the witchhes
I dropped the sword after putting it back in it's shield and took the bottle of water she handed to me.
"Why do you think I will not have open battle with Lord Xexes?"
I asked after I took a sip of water from the bottle and drop it back on the nearest table.
" I just got the feelings,his mother is a witch and you know witches are cunning. So I think they will use something to lure you to their den"
She said and I arched my brows
"Well, not to worry,they can't kill you directly"
She said and I calm down. I was on the verge of having a panic attack but if the can't kill me directly,they can kill me indirectly and I know what that means. She chuckled at the expression on my face.
"So since our dear princess still knows how to fight, let's see how far you could go with reciting spells"
She said. Offcouse if you are a witch and you don't know any spells up your sleeve, then you are no witch. Because as water is to life so are spells to witches.
"So let's go to the inner Chambers where we have spell books"
She said and moved over to a door by the right. I have not really notice that there is a door there. She opened it and went in and I followed through. She flick her fingers and the light came on.
The room was wow,it's what you see in movies. Books well arranged on the different shelves
I went over to the nearest shelf by my right and ran my hand on the books piled together.
"How old is this library?"
I asked, facing Tiana
"Thousands of years old"
She answered swiftly and went back to what's she was searching for. That's wow, thousands of years.Thats more like centuries put together yet it looks this magnificent.
"It's the library of the witches"
She said with her face bent over the shelf. She continued flipping and flapping. I watched her with keen interest. With the look on her face,you will think that what she is searching for,her life depends on it.
"This is where ancient spell books are stored and I am the one in charged of it. The last librarian transformed two centuries ago."
She said and continue flipping.
"Transformed?"
I asked with my eyes glued on her why she continued with whatever she is searching for.
"Yea..she transformed to another life. Witches don't die,they transform to other lives after they are tired of living this life."
"Oh! Is that so?"
I asked
"That means you could choose to stay or transform?"
"Well transformation is sure, because there is how long you will live,you would want to taste the other side of life or you could just transformed when you are tired of living from one place to another because humans are suspecting you not to be ordinary. You know humans can be so crazy"
I chuckled when she said the last statement. Offcouse I can relate, I am as good as an ordinary human and I could have continue to be if not for my one night of fun. I clutched my heart when I remembered that I have a mate at there and I am not sure how he is fairing. What has become of him now?.
"Gotcha ya!"
She exclaimed and I looked up at her. Her eyes was filled with so much joy. I could not wait to see what's inside the spell book that made her to be filled with so much happiness.
She looked up at me, showing an old dusty book. I looked at her with a questioning look and she chuckled.
"You found a treasure?"
I asked her and she nodded
"Yes I did,more than a treasure"
She replied and I came over to me. The book have similar draws and patterns to the ancient spell book.
"What is this?"
"The main ancient spell book,this one will give us more hint on her to make the living potion. The other one is the second version of it. In case its get into the wrong hands,they will not be able to make the living potion correctly"
She replied but what I did not understand is why she is so happy about it.
"You will not believe that I have been searching for this book since the last time you came here,I guess you presence reveals alot"
She sang happily like a little child.
"Tiana why are you so happy about the book if there is another version of it?"
I asked, trying to understand her happiness.
