Chapter 22 - The Veiled Grimoire (2)

They end up in Drakeova's forest. They can see buildings like mansions and manors, all the mansions and manors are black and red. 

Alice looked at Selena. "We're in Drakeova! That means you can use that book." Alice said.

"I don't know how i can use this book." Selena said, confused.

"It seems you really do have magic within you." Alice said.

Serena shook her head. "It's impossible, it must have been just a coincidence."

"We will talk about this later. Alice got up from the ground. "Come on, let's get up, we have to find my baby, Matthias."

Alice and Selena left the forest and reached the settlement area. Alice could sense that Matthias was not far from here.

Alice ran quickly, surprising Selena. "Where are you going?" Selena asked her, holding the magic book in her arms.

"Mattias! Matthias!" Alice called out to Matthias, hoping he would hear her.

Matthias who was attacked the Draculas and Vampires suddenly hear Alice's voice from afar. He let go of them and flying to find the source of the sound.

Mathias finally saw Alice running and calling his name. Matthias was surprised when he saw Alice was here. How could she have known he was here? Matthias wanted to walk closer to Alice, but he was afraid of her reaction when she saw him in his demon form.

Alice finally saw Matthias standing still in the distance, staring at her, even tho Matthias was in his demon form. Alice could still feel that it was Matthias. Alice ran quickly toward Matthew and hugged his now huge and terrifying dead body, saying. "Where have you been? I've been looking for you for days!"

"Alice..." Matthias said in a low voice. "How did you get here and how did you know it's me?" Matthias asked.

"I already know everything about you being half-demon, why didn't you ever tell me?" Asked Alice. her eyes glistening with tears.

"I'm afraid you'll leave me if you know i'm a demon." Matthias said.

"I will never leave you, Matthias." Alice said.

Matthias hugged Alice, saying. ""How could you be here? It's very dangerous here."

"I'm here with Selena. We used Magic book." Alice said.

"Magic book?" Matthias looks confused.

"The magic book that we talked about before. The Veiled Grimoire." Alice said.

Matthias, who looked surprised, asked. "How did you get this?"

"We-" Alice wanted to explain, but Matthias suddenly talking.

"Let's get out of here first." Matthias said.

Suddenly, the strong winds reappeared, Matthias, Alice and Selena teleportated from Drakeova and returned to the forest near the academy.

Matthias suddenly changed into his human form. Alice kissed Matthias's lips and Matthias returned the kiss. Alice broke the kiss. Matthias smiled and stroked her cheek.

"Alright, what did you want to say earlier?" Matthias asked.

"Me, Selena, Darcy, and your parents went to the witch's house, Nephada. To find you, but he couldn't help because his strength wasn't enough to break through Drakeova Island. Suddenly, a book suddenly fell. And the next day Selena found the book in the library, but she put it back in its original place, and suddenly the book was in Selena's bag. She told me about it and in the book, there was a spell to go to the island. I tried it, but nothing happened, all that came out was a gust of wind from the book. But when Selena tried it, we suddenly teleported to Drakeova." Alice said. 

Matthias nodded. He was still stroking Alive's cheek. "The book can only be used by witches, wizards, and anyone who has magical power within them." Matthew looked at Selena this time, he didn't stare at her with hatred this time. "When i was in my demon body, i could feel the magical aura from your body."

Selena shook her head. "But i've never dealt with magic."

"Maybe you never have, but your parents, grandparents, or great-grandparents have dealt with magic, and perhaps those results still affect subsequent generations. People from poor countries sometimes ally with witches so that they can be brought out of poverty. The witch will enter their bodies and their families, and they will live in abundance. The magic will last until the next generation if they never ask the witch or wizard to remove the spell." Matthias said.

"But my family and i live in poverty, how can that be?" Selena said.

"Probably they violated the rules from the witch or wizard. There are some conditions that people with that kind of magic are not allowed to break. Such as the forbidden from manipulating other people's minds, trying to bring the dead back to life, and killing others. Actually, there's still a lot more, but I'm too lazy to mention them." Matthias said. "If they violate the rules, they'll become poor again." 

-----

Selena was lying on her bed in her dorm, still thinking about what Matthias had said. Magic? Is it true that her family used to practice magic?

Selena opened her laptop and searched for it, and there were so many articles and posts on social media about it. She reads all of the article and the posts. There are some posts from people who lived in Wald Isle, and many people practiced magic in the past.

Suddenly, Selena's phone rings. It's a message notification from Damian.

"Hey, are you busy right now?" - Damian

"No, why?" - Selena

"Do you want to go with me?" - Damian

"For what?" - Selena

"I just want to take you out, you spend your time in the academy, i want to take you to see another city in Vienstorian. Do you want to go to Costa Strageva?" - Damian

"I want! But that's so far away from here." - Selena

"Yeah, but it's worth it. Tomorrow is Sunday, maybe... we can go tomorrow morning?" - Damian

Selena thinks for a while. She wants to go, but just with Damian? No. 

"Can i take my friends?" - Selena

"Sure." - Damian

"I will ask my friends first." - Selena

Selena sends a message to the group chat. Riley, Amalie and Eva said that they want to go with Selena.

"My friends said yes, they want to go." - Selena

"Okay, tomorrow at 5 am. Me and my chauffeur will wait for you and your friends." - Damian

"Okay, Damian." - Selena
