The Lens Of The Unseen

Chapter 06: The Serene Man

On the opposite side, far away from where we stood, the Black Wizard was gathering with the four other black wizards of the Island of Spirits, his siblings and sisters united by the same dark force and goal.

They stood within their stronghold while Eric gazed at a magical board that allowed him to view events developing throughout the magical world.

As he looked into it, an image of Soufiane appeared before him.

"So, Soufiane has decided to stay," Eric said.

His eyes remained fixed on the board as it revealed everything he needed to know.

A faint smile crossed his face.

"Interesting," he murmured.

The others turned their attention toward the magical board, silently watching the future of the world of magic begin to unfold.

Meanwhile, the Black Wizard became stronger.

Using his extensive knowledge of black magic, he developed the Spell of the black Elves.

These creatures possessed significantly greater strength than typical elves. They could travel the planet at tremendous speeds, fly through the skies, and acquire information from even the most remote locations. There were various types of Dark Elves, each originating from a different element: Fire Elves, Water Elves, Air Elves, and Earth Elves.

The Black Wizard summoned them from their separate elements and brought them together under his leadership. Together, they formed a new army dedicated just to him.

With the development of the Spell of the Dark Elves, the Black Wizard rose to the ranks of the most powerful and dangerous wizards in the magical realm.

The army of Dark Elves knelt before him.

"What are your orders, my lord?" asked a Fire Elf, his voice filled with loyalty.

"We are under your command, sir," said a Water Elf.

The other elves remained silent, awaiting the words of the Black Wizard and the mission that would soon be given to them.

Life was about to change more than ever before. When I entered the world of magic, the door that stood between the real world and the magical world began to close. The glowing gateway that had given to me the chance to return home was slowly disappearing, and far away, Eris watched the event unfold.

"So, the three legendary wizards have called for help," Eris said as he turned toward Salacia.

Salacia remained silent for a moment before replying.

"That writer is dangerous if he ever discovers the true extent of what he can do."

Eris lowered his gaze.

"The old wizard knows how to teach him to use his power of writing," he said. "I believe we are in grave danger." He did not want to admit it, but deep down he knew it was the truth, and for the first time in a long while, fear had entered his thoughts.

If Soufiane learned to master his power, the balance of the world of magic could change forever.

Knock. Knock.

The sound echoed through the room.

"Who's there?" I asked.

Another knock came from the door.

Someone was trying to open it.

For a moment, I remained still, wondering if I was dreaming. But it wasn't a dream. I had awakened to another day in the world of magic, though here it always seemed to be night.

"Who's there?" I asked again, and suddenly, a glow worm appeared before me, shining with a bright yellow light. It floated gently through the darkness, illuminating the room with its warm glow, i stared at it, and It looked so familiar, then a man's voice spoke from the darkness.

"You created me before with your beautiful and glorious magic, Soufiane. Remember?"

The moment I heard the voice, I realized who it was, it was the Serene Man.

The glow worm continued to shine between us as memories began to return to my mind, i  start to remember the day I have written my first novel the age stone and the island of spirits, that scene of the  cave when the wizards went to meet the wizard of the mountain " the serene man or the user of glow worms"

"I can remember you now, how are and what are you doing here?" i asked, and i was so astonished and flabbagastered by the magic i created before.

"there is no time to talk soufiane, you have to leave this world, it's so dangerous" he said he was so terrified, he whispered.

"I already know about the black wizard and i decided to stay with the help of centinella, the old wizard and foziane, i will beat them" i replied

"this is not what i'm talking about!" he shouted on me.

"what do you mean?" i asked

"i'm talking about the three legendary wizards, they will use you and kill you after." the serene man said, and the silent, a quiet silent in the room, thunder voice. i was shocked by what he said.

"but i drank the potion of obliviation!" i was trying to explain, when he stopped me " you did drink that potion?" he asked again, and fear was so obvious in his eyes.

"yes! i did!" i replied and already knew i made a fatal mistake.

"Oh dear Soufiane, you are in a grave danger, you can't leave now this world so easily, and now you have to..." He was attempting to advise me on what to do when I heard footsteps approaching my room and the calm man vanished. 

I put directly my head on the pellow and pretend to be asleep, i felt a power a strange silent cold power opened the door of my room, someone was watching me, i didn't open my eyes in the begening and then decided to open to see, but there was no one there.

Under a sky covered by black clouds, cold rain fell without mercy. Darkness ruled the world, and sorrow lingered in every corner of the land.

Yet me,  the Wise walked forward through the storm. Though i seemed doomed to wander in the darkness, and i  refused to give up, for i was searching for the Soul of Spirits, the very thing that might change the fate of the world of magic.
