14 Origin of The Terror Curse
"A grim reaper---" she paused, trying to remember what have happened during the showdown.
"He's like the one from before." Patricia continued.
"You mean the one Peteriona have fought?" Ms. Taylor asked and Patricia nodded.
"I see, I see, Good choice then." Ms. Taylor said.
The room fell silent as Patricia didn't know what to respond. The event last week, and the red-eyed grim reaper creeps unto her spine, knowing that he is one of her terrors.
"You can have lunch now." Ms. Taylor spoked and Patricia went out of the office. Before closing the door, she surely heard Ms. Taylor mumbled about Lila Montague. Patricia wasn't concerned at the moment and so she headed back to her dorm and then went to the Easterian Hall to have lunch.
"What was it all about, Pat?" Peteriona asked as Patricia was heading towards Par and Pete.
Patricia settled between Pete and Par since there's a space right on that spot.
"She just asked me why did I casted Perpueto Catastra and so I answered her that Lila was playing with my terrors and stuff." Patricia answered Pete while getting a slice of a potato pie on her golden plate.
"Not much of a big deal then." Peteriona replied while munching a toasted pumpkin dish.
"She was worried." Pariana talked after finishing her lunch.
"About what?" Peteriona replied, now eating a ham steak.
"Patricia of course." Pariana retorted, looking at Pete with disdain. Peteriona didn't argue back. Meanwhile, Patricia was silently eating her potato pie and fish steak. Peteriona then finished eating and her golden goblets and plates were now spotless and empty.
"How do you do it?" Pariana questioned Pete. Peteriona raised her eyebrow in confusion and Pariana asked again.
"I mean, eating a whole bunch of food and still having a good figure." Pariana asked clearly.
"Ow that. Good figure ha." Peteriona snapped and then continued to talk.
"I think I'm gaining weight though." Pete said.
"Oh well, if you say so." Pariana rolled her eyes and turned to Patricia who have just finished her lunch.
"Now where should we go?" Peteriona asked the two then immediately grabbed a Hotdog and eat.
"Could you stop eating for a minute, gosh!.." Pariana uttered dramatically.
"I forgot to tell you Par, did you ever read a restricted book, an article if soever, in the library?"
Patricia asked as she remembered to ask Par about it.
"Nope. But I'm looking forward to read one of those tho." Pariana answered with a smile. Patricia just mouthed 'o' and nodded for she wasn't sure if Pariana was lying since she knows about the terrors stuff found in Chapter 5 of one of the Restricted Books in the library.
The three lads headed to the library since Patricia wants to know where Pariana have found the book about the terrors stuff.
"It's here somewhere." Pariana mumbled as the three of them were looking at the variety of books in the A section.
"I've read about amazing transfiguration spells in Section B last time I visit. I was practicing my 'petals to stone' transfiguration spell that time. I've also got the idea from it while working on my matchstick earlier." Peteriona whispered. Patricia was quite surprised with Pete's revelation. It's not like everyday you see Peteriona Ethereal reading books especially in the library.
"I never knew." Patricia whispered.
"You didn't asked." Peteriona replied.
"AHA! Found it! Come here you two!" Pariana yelled and the two lads headed towards her.
"Just don't tell Pariana about it." Peteriona whispered while Patricia and her, walked. Patricia was puzzled but then nodded thinking why should Peteriona hide this fact from Par and so when they reached Pariana, Patricia's thoughts were focused on the book entitled 'Nightmares'.
"Nightmares." Peteriona read calmly.
"What about that?" Peteriona asked, referring to the book in Pariana's hand.
"This is where I have found the terrors thingy." Pariana replied, and the three of them looked at the book.
Pariana flipped the Pages of the book and finally she found the 'terrors thingy'.
"Here." Pariana uttered. And the lads attention were on her. Peteriona lazily looked where Pariana's index finger is pointing. Patricia read it silently.
Stated there on Chapter 6 of nightmares was about terrors.
It is an overview of Chapter 5 of 'Curses and Jinxs'.
'Terror is a very strong feeling of fear. From Anglo-French 'Terrour'; akin to Greek trein to be afraid." It's introduction.
'Here in Wizarding world, your terrors can be use against you. A curse is made by the son of Magus named David Magus, who made this possible.
David Magus was a dark Magi. He made curses and Jinx's now commonly used by the modern wizards in the east.
This cursing spell is chanted to use your terrors against you; Self-destruction--- or someone's terrors against them. Counter-courses are none. Many have died because of the curse. The victim will found themselves at the top of a ruin castle, the place where they're executed by whatever their terror is.
There were no counter-courses but few have survived the curse. But those who have survived will meet again their terrors in their lifespan, either they will be killed or the other way around.'
Patricia read this and think. She was in a ruin castle when she faught with Lila or actually the grim reaper and she did survive. She told Pariana and Peteriona about this and the two lads give their opinions.
"Maybe Perpueto Catastra was a counter-course." Peteriona said coolly.
"But there were no counter-course ever made. See that--- None." Pariana defended.
"Maybe Ms. Taylor invented it." Peteriona retorted.
"Well I think, maybe Perpueto Catastra was a counter-course. It is a spell used for Black wizards, remember?" Patricia suggested, thinking of the subject deeper.
"Or maybe it depends on your terror. If only your terror have a counter-course then you'll survived." Patricia uttered her thoughts.
"You've got some point. But how come twas not written here." Pariana said.
"Remember Pariana that this is just---" Peteriona said but was cut off in mid sentence.
"Just an overview, I know." Pariana retaliated.
"Maybe the other details were not stated because it is simply, restricted." Patricia said calmly as she know she was making sense.
"Yeah. Maybe.." said Pariana.
"Well we've got a point now so shall we go somewhere else?" Peteriona muttered.
"You just don't like the library, do you?" Pariana said, rolled her eyes and returned the book.
"If you say so." Peteriona replied and winked at Patricia. The three lads went to the Pixiestail room.
"Jumping Jelly Squid!" The portrait of Mona Lisa have swung open and they entered the room.
"Luckily there's no seniors around." Peteriona murmured.
