Arc 6 - Magick - Part 1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(From ‘Noah’ point of view)

I sent out an ‘invitation’ to Nazar. I used magick to send a mental message to him. It was not because I could not contact him in any other way, I used this method to show him that magick is very real as he did not fully believe me when I talked to him last time. I also used magick to place a spell on him so ‘William’ and his people won’t track him. I need to keep our location safe and secret.

We gathered in a building that looks so old you would think it will fall over with the slightest wind. It can change shape and size or it would seem. We use illusions to change the way people see the building. Not many people have seen its original form. This building appears in many different locations but no one can see it as it is cloaked. But there are sometimes where people can feel that there is something. For example, this one time the building accidentally appeared in a middle of the road and there was a car that clashed with it. The driver was dead but the passengers were alive. Just barely. No one knew what happened. We have had our fair share of mistakes when it came to this ‘magical house’ of ours.

We gathered all together in a circle. We placed magical barriers around us, so not even Nazar can see where it is, but he will be able to see it now. I don’t know how he did it but it is possible that he followed the energy trail or maybe he could actually see it. I gave him the coordinates of our meeting place, so I hope he can find it.

As we finished placing extra barriers around the place, we heard a sonic boom in a distance. If it was not for the barriers we placed, ordinary people could hear it for miles.

“He is here,” I told my friends. “Someone go and greet him.”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I left my home on the moon a minute ago and now I am on Earth. The coordinates he gave me, led me to an abandoned building. This building looks different than last time. I can feel different energies but I do not see them and certainly cannot manipulate it. Am I turning into another Superman? I don’t want magick as my weakness.

As soon as I got close to the building, I saw someone standing in front of it. They had a hood on and I could not see their face. So, I decided that I should just follow them. So, as we entered the building, the building started to look different from the inside, much like my own house.

As I entered the building, it looked like the original shape of the building was a circle. I looked around and saw many people, more than last time. There were also many artefacts around the room for some reason. I walked slowly towards the circle and as I got close, they looked at me and smiled. Not sure to be scared or to be happy.

“Ah, welcome.” The old man said. His real name is not Noah so I am not calling him that.

“So, what did you want to talk about?” I asked without hesitation.

“I wanted to show you the proof about magick and how it works.”

“And why would I need to know that?”

“Because you still do not believe that magic exists.”

“You are right, I want to believe it but I cannot.” I do believe that there is an energy surrounding us that I cannot see or use but these people can. Maybe it's magic, maybe it's not.

“Then why don’t I show you some of the things we can do with magick,” he said that while pointing towards his friends.

“Okay, so are you going to pull out a rabbit out of a hat?” I said this in a sarcastic tone.

With a smile on his face, he said, “There is a difference between magic and magick.”

“So, what's the difference?”

“Magic refers to small feats done by performers around the world. They use illusions and different techniques to pull rabbits out of their hat. We, on the other hand, use magick. Magick allows us to manipulate interdimensional energies around us, using spells. People who use magic are often referred to as magician and people like us are usually referred to, as sorcerers.” He explained this in a rather calm tone like a teacher would to their students. By the way, I am not his student and never will be.

“So, where does magick come from?”

“It comes from different sources. Some of these energies come from different dimensions while other forms of energies are formed on Earth itself.” He explained.

“Dimensions? As in alternative universes?”

“No,” he replied. “Dimensions as in the space between 2 or more different universe or places that exist outside of our very own universe.”

“I consider myself to be the smartest guy around and I still have no clue what you are saying,” I said this while scratching my head.

“Look, I will explain it to you using something that you are familiar with, like comics.”

“Why comics?”

“Because you are always reading them.”

“How did you know that?”

“I have been keeping on eye on you too,” he said this while smiling.

“What? Why?”

“Because you if you joined in with William and his kind then we would have looked for a way to neutralise you.”

“NEUTRALISE? ME?” I shouted. “I would like you to try.” As soon as I said that, I was ready to fly out of here and I did just that. But as soon as I left the building, a few seconds later I was back inside the building and I found myself in chains?
