The zacrathis lord felt something strange. He could no longer sense the energy from the book. "Damn." he muttered.
Lord Zacrathis called his men. "Where is the book? I can sense that someone has been affected by magic, but they haven't emerged from the portal yet and i don't feel the book's energy in Orthelis either." Lord Zacrathis look furious.
Other Zacrathis nodded, and one of them went to check the barrel containing the magical water, which could show where the book was located. Zacrathis was surprised to see the book inside the prison.
He ran quickly to Lord Zacrathis. "It seems someone knew the book was about Zacrathis and not Loreineta. The book is in a prison and there's magic barrier around the cell, so we can't felt the book energ or used it to bewitch people." He said.
Lord Zacrathis is very angry. "We need to find a new way. You need to bring him back here. We can use him because he can go to Orthelis and the world of Zacrathis." Lord Zacrathis said.
"But my Lord, you don't know where he is. I heard he exiled himself after that incident. It seems he has placed a lot of magic on the island so we can't find him." Said one of the Zacrathis.
"I don't care, you have to find a way for us to meet him and bring him here." Lord Zacrathis said.
"If he doesn't want to. We'll force him. He can't fight me because i'm his father. If he don't want, the just kill him." Lord Zacrathis said.

They finally gathered on the bridge near the academy area. Matthias looked annoyed because Viktor was also there. He really wanted to punch Viktor in the face, but unfortunately, Alice was there. He didn't want to do it in front of Alice.
Victor just smiled, his purpose for joining being none other than to protect Marcus and Damian.
The island is very far away and difficult to penetrate; the wizard has imbued it with powerful magic.
"That foolish Dracula won't be able to go there," Matthias said with a sharp look at Victor, who just laughed.
"Yeah, yeah, i know." Victor just roll his eyes.
"But how can we get there if Victor can't even teleport?" Ask Eva.
"I can do it." Matthias said with a flat face.
They looked surprised except for Victor, Selena, and Alice.
"But if even Victor can't do it, wouldn't it be even more impossible for ordinary humans like us." Riley said, looking surprised.
"Nobody said i'm an ordinary human." Matthias said.
Before they could react, suddenly everything around them turned white, blinding them. They had arrived in front of the gate of a rather large house, but it didn't look very well-maintained. They felt a very strong energy emanating from Matthias's body.
"How did we teleport here?" Damian was surprised as he looked at Matthias.
"I'm far stronger than Viktor." Matthias said.
"You just revealed your secret to them." Victor said.
Matthias touched the gate and it suddenly opened. Matthias walked into the house, holding Alice's hand, and the others followed behind.
"Is this will be okay? What if he mad because we came suddenly?" Ask Alice.
"It's okay, baby. He won't be mad. If he did, i'm the one who gonna fight him." Matthias said.
"What do you want?" Suddenly, a man's voice was heard.
"I need help." Matthias said.
"No, I will never help you, go away."
"Darius, this is very important, it's related to Zacrathis." Matthias said.
"Go away, i don't want to deal with that damn creature again." The man said. His name is Darius Genevara, the older brother of Solgathis Genevara.
They looked confused and tried to find where the man was, but there was nothing there, only his voice.
"Don't you want to get revenge on them after what happened? This is your chance." Matthias said.
The door of the house suddenly opened by itself and the man suddenly appeared." He walked straight toward Matthias. Regardless of the presence of others.
"Tell me what happened." Darius said.
Matthias looked at Selena and gestured for her to explain what happened, since it was Selena and her friends who experienced it.
"They will explain it to you because they are the ones who experienced it. They are the students who were at the same academy as me and my lover?" Matthias said.
Actually, they were still wondering who Matthias really was. All they knew was that Matthias was the Vienstorian prince, the grandson of the Vienstorian king. But why does he have power? Is he a wizard? But the strength seemed greater than that of wizards because they could feel immense power emanating from Matthias's body as they teleported.
Selena and her friends explained what happened. Selena also said that the book "The Failed Grimoire" by Solgathis Genevara that always followed her everywhere, and even now it's in her bag. Darius was very surprised, and his expression changed to sad, disappointed, and angry.
"I don't know what to do, Zacrathis' magic is so strong. I was under zacrahis magic, but one of them help me to released it, although not completely, i tried to release the rest myself using the magic found in the book The Veiled Grimoire, because suddenly the spell appeared. It seems Genevara's soul is what brought the magic into that book because she knew i needed it." Darius said with a look of guilt on his face.
"Help you? A zacrtahis help someone?" Marcus looked surprised.
Darius nodded. "He's not fully zacratahis. He's half Loreineta and half zacrathis. He's kind, but his father is the one who force him to do what he wants." Darius said.
"But there must be a way, right? We're afraid something bad will happen if we just let this go, especially since the man affected by the magic from the book is in prison because it will be dangerous if he's released. But what about him?" Amalie said.
Darius nodded. "Yes, I understand your concerns, but for now, we can't do much, especially since we are dangerous. We could end up with even more famous magical people from the book. We can try to find a way, but of course, it won't be easy and will take a long time. I will try to find a way to destroy the magic in that book, but it won't be easy. I need your help. I will try to make a potion that can destroy their magic, but i can't promise anything because it will be very difficult and will require rare ingredients. You must help me find them." Darius said.
They looked at each other, unsure if they could do it, but they also wanted Orthelis to be safe from the Zacrathis's attacks without the shadow of fear if the Zacrathis were to come again and attack Orthelis. But they not sure if they can do that, especially those ingredients are rare, but they don't have choice,
Selena nodded slowly. "Fine, we will help you to find those ingredients." Selena said.
