Chapter 57: Magic is Real?
[Modern Days: 2010]
Surrounding a campfire, a group of young adults laughed and talked, the night sky above their heads with billions of stars shining brightly to illuminate their darkness, the moon stood above their heads in its full glory, the silver rays of light that shone onto them. "Hey, it's a full moon, the perfect time to tell spooky stories!" A small young lady with bright red hair chuckled from her seat around the campfire, in her hands a stick, whereupon a bright white marshmallow was being roasted above the campfire- "Well, I'm in. I have some really great stories." Her brother, a tall but lanky young man with long black hair and grey eyes stood on the opposite side of the campfire, staring at his sister unblinking as he waited to spike her marshmallow with pepper. "Sure guys, i think it's a cool idea." Another young girl, who was sitting beside the first one, smiled despite her obvious nervousness.
"Oh, i have one-" Let's give you names? They mghr be useful to identify each of these people. The first young lady with red hair is called Scarlett, the girl beside Scarlett is Jessie, and Scarlett's brother is named Orion. There are two other boys there, Orion's best friend named David, a young boy with short brown hair and deep green eyes, and Graham, a tall and muscular guy who surprisingly is David's brother. They are nothing alike, since David is small and Graham is tall, David is skinny and Graham is buff, David is terrible with tech while Graham is a tech nerd... David is basically the black sheep of the family. "Wanna hear about-" Orion was about to finish when Graham slapped David's back, making the boy wheeze as his brother declared: "Hey, David here found some creepy shit yesterday on the internet- Weird shit i tell you."
"Were you snooping around shady reddit communities again, David?" Scarlett teased with a sly smirk to her lips, making the young boy blush at her beuty- He had a crush on her, and every single one of them knew about it. "Well, i did find some creepy shit, the weird was- I can't find the site again, and I've been trying for hours! Even Graham couldn't find the site-" Graham commented from the sideline: "Well, even though i also saw the site he was looking at, and tried the URL and even tracing the site, i found out that the site never existed in the first place, which was weird as fuck." David nodded as he pulled out his laptop while saying: "Thankfully I've taken some screenshots from the site, just so i could analyze more this shit-" He opened his laptop and went through his files to find-
Images, weird images of different creatures.
"Wow, this shit is creepy." Jessie, who definitely has a crush on Graham (He was gay though, not that everyone knew, only family knew), lowered herself and got close to read the bit of information there was on the site: "Uhm... This is Archaic Latin and Acient Greek mixed? Like, there's different letters from these alphabets that are mixed together, it would take some time to decipher-" Jessie here is a polyglot, she can speak Greek, English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and French, she also has studied Ancient Greek linear A, and Achaic Latin from the Byzantine and Roman Empire. "Oh, I've already done that." David did have some special talents, like his memory and his love for the supernatural: He had deciphered the text that mixed words from different ancient languages into one so it could confuse the reader. "It's a text... Well, a religious myth i guess, i must've stumbled unto some cult shit."
He stopped for a second, and read it out loud the translation he made, he was 80% sure this was accurate:
"In the begging, the world was one, until the God of Flesh came upon us and tore the world in half- Many were cursed that day, cursed by his blood, by his sight, by his presence alone. The world became two that day, but thanks to our great God and worst eneny of the God of Flesh, the God of Nature, we thrived and survived, we evolved and became us. But the God of Nature is benevolent, he saved every single creature from the split world, he took the living half of the world and molded it into a full world while the other half was taken by the God of Flesh, who also did the same to his half- every day, they both fight: The God of Nature fights to save us, while the God of Flesh fights to destroy us." David squinted his eyes and showed everyone the inages attached to the text: Two giant dragons fighting in the sky, one looked like a bunch of roots and branches with wings, and the other who looked like a pile of flesh and bone with eyes and wings.
"This shit IS creepy!" Orion chuckled as Graham touched the screen of the laptop, pointing at a sma something... "What's this?" David rose an eyebrow at the little detail, the screen showed a list: "Huh, it's... Magic Spells?" A snort left his lips as the others stared at the screen with curiosity, Jessie chuckled as she read on of the spells: "Oh look, this one's a spell to make a mouse into a cat?" David huffed before he saw a small little word attached to the spell, the spell chanting? It was written in a language he never saw before. "Hey, Jessie?" jessie looked at where David was pointing and whispered: "That looks like Japanese, but not really, like a drunk Japanese that had sex with A Incestuous Chinese and born of their little night, this thing was born."
Okay, this is rhe weirdest way to describe a language!
"It looks just like a circle to me." Graham commented, David saw the name of the spell and drew the symbol on the ground with a smile to his lips, he was a great artist since it was one of the few things he could do right, so the symbol was perfectly drawn as he read the name of the spell- "[Root Bind]" what? For him, he was speaking English, but the others just stared at him with a funny expression in their faces that was replaced with fear when from the ground beneath their feet- roots and green vines bursted out, wrapping themselves around them...
"What the fuck?"
So, it turns out...
Magic is real.
-Author Notes-
We'll explore the splitting the world in two by the point of view of humans millions of years after the splitting, in modern days of course.
