21 Chapter 21

I stand shocked at what greeted me on the other side of the wall. It was a huge library filled with books of magic on all the known elements. I slowly walked over to a corner that seemed to draw me to it.

"You seem very drawn to Dark and Fire. Just like me you have the most affinity with Fire, Fire is a powerful element but you have to be careful, like right now your aura is raging so your fire element is out of control. Not even the necklace I gave you is helping." Master Zelen said, watching me carefully. I turn back and look at him, sighing.

"I've known my element was fire for the longest time, I had a little accident when I was younger where I set fire to a room because I was angry." I laughed, nervous. Turning back to look at the bookshelves I notice a rather out of place object, taking up its own shelf.

"What is that?" I asked, curiously. Feeling somehow drawn to it. I take a step towards it only to have Master Zelen reach out and stop me.

"That is very dangerous so don't go near it Wolf." He said, dragging me back a few steps, somehow not burning.

"Why?" I ask, fighting him. I break free of his hold and turn to look at him. He looks at me sadly.

"You can feel it like I can can't you?" He asks, watching as I turn back to look at the object. It looked like a very old grimoire, the cover looked to be made of strange purple leather. I could feel a strong aura coming from it. I walk closer and stop right in front of it.

"I can feel the strong aura from it, it feels like it's drawing me to it." I stated, mesmerized. Reaching forward to touch it I feel Night stir inside me.

"Do not touch it Phoenix. There is evil lurking within that Grimoire." Night said from nowhere.

"What kind evil?" I asked, getting chills down my spine. I stare at the Grimoire still getting chills for some reason. It felt as if a hand was reaching out towards me from the grimoire, griping my soul.

"There is dark magic involved in the making of that grimoire, dark dark magic. Forbidden black magic." Night whispered. I could feel Night beginning to change. It feels as though his shape changes, and he becomes more powerful.

"Night are you okay?" I ask in my head, starting to worry. I feel as he grows bigger, his talons become longer and horns taller. His scales turn to a color as black as night. I scream out in pain and fall to the ground as my skin starts burning where Night's tattoo was inked into my skin.

"Wolf what's wrong?! What happened??" Zelen said, as he hurried over to my side. I open the top of my robe and stare at what was Night's tattoo.

"It burns!" I say, feeling my face tighten in pain.

Night's tattoo form was changing shape and glowing red around the edges as it changed. All of a sudden it stopped hurting. Sighing I tried to stand up only to make it halfway before falling back down, Night's tattoo was gone, instead he appeared before me.
