the trird chapter
Wizzard wasn’t liking the way things were going. First of all they fell down a tunnel, second they found an underground city, third he feels this strange energy go through him, and now they had to split up. It was driving him insane. Yet, mentally he had already cracked last summer at camp and could take almost any thing now. If they even get out of here they could camp here. It was a pretty cool place. He walked into a big open area.
‘So this is the center. I thought it be a little bit bigger.’ He thought. In the center was a large round desk, not like a solid desk more like an O shape. Where people were in the center and helped people on the outside. He hoped over. There was a circle that was about thirteen feet in diameter. Within a circle in the middle, with five small circles around it, was another circle. The smaller circles look as thou something had to be placed in them. He went to touch them to get a better feel of them. A great flash of light blinded him. There were five people standing in a circle. They were chanting, “To save the future preserve the past.” Over and over. A cylinder of bright light was building in front of them. They pulled something off their hands. They were rings. The rings descended to the bottom of the floor. The light faded and the rings were imbedded in to the floor. Another flash of blinding light.
“Whoa! What was that about?” he said. ‘Oh I get it.’ he thought, ‘These circles is were the ring were. I wonder what happened to them?’ he looked around and saw no clue that would give him a clue an what might have happened to the rings. So Wizzard decided to look in the drawers. The first drawer had some feather quails and inkbottles. The next drawer had some old parchment that looked as thou it was just put there.
‘That’s weird.’ he thought.
The third drawer that he had checked was locked. He grasped the handle firmly and pulled the drawer had three times. One, two, three. With the third pull he went flying across to the other side of the area and hit his head.
“Fuck that hurt!” yelled Wizzard. He stood up and walked over toward the drawer. There was a book in it. ‘Why would drawer be locked if a book was in it?’ Wizzard thought. ‘Shinzui of the Spirit World. That’s a weird name for a book.’ Thought Wizzard. It seemed weird to him that he could read the writing now and not before, even though it was in a different language. He opened the book and started to read it:
‘Shinzui of the Spirit World was a mortal that could speak to, see, and control earthbound spirits. He was cursed by the devil himself. He sought out the help of Gemini the outsider. When he meet Gemini his house and the mountain he resided on was destroyed not even a month ago. He begged and pleaded with Gemini, yet he refused. Shinzui temper rose to a point to were the statues in the garden came to life and the statues attacked. The statues advanced toward Gemini. They were right on top of him and then they froze. Gemini was calm yet frightened. Shinzui had fainted. To have Shinzui powers sustained enough so that he could control them, he took the most purest and perfect amethyst and magical bound it so that his powers were more controllable. A hundred years later the ring broke and his power overwhelmed him and destroyed him.”
‘Whoa. That had to be some awful powerful power that he had.’ he thought. Wizzard turned the page. He gasped. Shinzui looked just like him, but older. He brushed his fingers across the picture. A flash of bright light. There was a man at a desk. He was dressed in deep purple cloak. it was either him or Shinzui. He couldn’t tell because Shinzui looked like him. all that he knew was that the person was writing. It was in the same language that the book was written in, but he could read it.
‘To the next generation of life wielders,
You were chosen because you are a reincarnation of us. you will have our powers, but they will come to you when the time comes. Our sensei, Gemini has hidden the five books within the library or our lair for you to find. You won’t be able to find them until you have your powers. They won’t be at full force until you free Gemini from the enchantment that we have placed on him. if only a few of you have your powers don’t let them see the letter until they are revealed. To unlock Gemini you must find our rings and place them around the circle in the correct place. You all will know were they will go. To my follower of my power I leave a part of my soul in my book so that you can call to me for help when you need it.

Farwell and Good Luck
Shinzui of the Spirit World.

Then there was a flash of bright light. “So tha… that means that I…I…I’m the one that can control spirits.” Wizzard franticly looked through the book and on the last page was an incantation. He read it out loud:
“Let they key to thy soul open the gates to the past
Let what happened once happen again to make a better future
Let the soul of thy past guide thee through this journey.”
There was a swirl of purple light and then Shinzui appeared in a ghostly form.
“Hello my follower.” Said Shinzui in a proud and honorable voice.
“Hello Shinzui, I am Wizzard your new apprentice.” Said Wizzard. “Master Shinzui were do I, I mean the chosen ones find the rings?”
“It is very simple my apprentice. For you all have already have them.”
“How can that be?”
“The books have magical bounded so that they know who has their power. When the books are brought together they appear. I know that three of you have powers. I must leave. One of your friends has called on thier past life. Go to your friend. When you all come together put the books together in a straight line for the rings to appear. . oh and the flashes of light and then you see something then there is another flash of light are called premonitions. Here they let you see the past in here for now, but you will be able to see into the future when you free Gemini, and for warning he is going to be a cranky ass.”
“How did you know?” asked Wizzard.
“I can read souls. With time you will be able to do this to. Good-bye for know.” and with saying that Shinzui vanished.
Wizzard ran quickly toward the isle that they split up at and prayed that nothing happened to Zman, Aya , or both of them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As he was nearing the aisle he panicked. Zanbato was on the ground flat on his face. It looks as thou he collapsed.
“Zman!” he ran over to Zanbato. He propped him up on the bookshelf and started to slap his face to try to wake him up, but nothing.
“AAAAAAAAAA!” Wizzard heard a yell. He turned his head around so fast that his neck cracked.
“Ouch! Aya calm down, he’s fine. He just fainted that’s all.” He looks around and saw a book next to were he helped Zanbato up. He went to pick it up. As soon as he touched it he saw Zanbato reading some thing and then fainted. It was another premonition. ‘Was this what he meant by when one of his friends calling on their past life.
“Don’t worry Aya. He’s fine. He’s just asleep.”
“Ar…are you sure? How do you know?” ask Aya sobbing.
“Lets just say I have a strong feeling.” He couldn’t tell her. Not yet.
Zanbato started to moan. “Aya! He’s waking up!”
“What are you guys doing?” asked Zanbato.
“Waiting for you to wake up. I came here and you were passed out. Your face was flat on the floor and I turned you around and propped you against the bookshelves. With the book right next to you.” said Wizzard. “then Aya came running a screaming. She was extremely worried about you.”
“Thanks guys. I’m fine now.” replied Zanbato.
Wizzard wasn’t sure how to tell them what had happened. All he knew is today was about to change the rest of their lives.
