The Golden Throne

Chapter 6 - Mysterious Book

Three days after the first class,

Liu Feng was finishing his homework on syllables, and another on Aegonian history. After he was done, he took the textbook back to the library. After he put the book snack he turned around to leave, but then he heard a whisper in his ear.

"Looks like you're finally here."

Liu Feng turned around but he couldn't see anyone. He shouted,

"Who are you! I am a prince. It is a capital punishment to enter the castle without permission."

"Don't worry, I came here with permission. Infact, your grandfather brought me here himself. You can see me right. In the corner there. See! Caught your eye now right."

Liu Feng saw a light glowing at the end of the bookshelf. He went to the source with caution, and he took out the gun that he repaired recently. He approached the light went to his surprise the light faded into a book. The voice whispered again,

"You found me"

"Who are you? Are you a devil sealed in a book? I've read about those."

"You are very cautious, boy. But if I wanted to do something to you, I could do so with ease."

When the sound whispered again, a few books fell on Liu Feng from the bookshelf next to him. Liu Feng got up warily and dusted himself.

"Fine, what do you want?"

"Bring me outside. I am but a spirit. I will stay by you, bound to you, and I will have to help you, but I want to see the world outside, not stay in this dark place. Bringing me outside will be the best thing you can do boy."

Liu Feng stopped to think. He then asked the book,

"What were you previously? Wait, someone is coming."

Liu Feng snatched the book and darted to the entrance. He reached the hallway to see a few knights marching. One of them came up to him and said,

"Are you okay your Highness? I heard a loud noise and feared that there might be an intruder. Please go back to your quarters."

Liu Feng left for his room. Once he got back, he sat down and opened the book. All of a sudden, a translucent old man came out of the book.

"Ahh, finally free. Thank you boy. I can finally stretch my soul. The book was really cramped. Don't throw it away though. It is a really precious book. It has a few forbidden spells that I myself had been researching when that stupid magic circle exploded."

Liu Feng looked at the old man with horror.

He shouted, "Aaaaghhhh, Ghost!!!"

Immediately a few guards stormed in.
