"Wild magic." Belladonna was the first to speak what we all thought.

"Secret revealed as I promised." Mystery nodded as she stood up.

"Wild. Magic." She repeated, hands raised as she repeated her words slowly.

"Being that I changed into a dragon it might explain why I've always been able to bend wild magic to my taste as dragons are masters of wild magic." A good explanation.

"Mystery.... You are an elemental with wild magic." Belladonna couldn't seem to get over it.

"I know but I rarely use it, I am unaware how I even healed the lightest of wounds right now, I think it were my emotions that dictated my success, unwilling to lose a brother." She put a hand on her face which she dropped soon after.

"That's why your door could be locked without me feeling your magic at play."

"Yeah a wild sigil right under the doorknob keeping it closed, I also used it when we left for the woodlands, enchanting the carriage with a spell to protect those inside, I used it to create the magic in my beads but it is rusty as I avoid it most of the time." So that was the white glow on the window! She did that and I didn't just make it up.

"I was right in never believing you were just a powerful mage but instead someone very special indeed."

"I gue--" There was a huge boom.

Eleric had tried using a wall to help himself stand and he somehow made the whole facade cave in, falling into another hidden room behind it.

"Brother are you alright?" Mirel helped him up as I gazed into the room... more like hallway and it was dark

Mystery stepped in first with her fire burning behind her heels.

"What? This doesn't make sense, why is this here?" I said, a bit louder then intended as her flames let me see murals with the story of the great war on it again but slightly different, wasn't that false?

"Mystery." Emersme was the second to step in, a slight limp as he might still feel the pain despite healed up.

"I guess this is why I can read ancient dragon and understand today's dragon... Because I somehow am one." She said as she lifted a hand and all crystal torches along the walls light up as the previously barely readable text on the walls shone a bright silver.

"This is weird." Calypso whispered, staring at the drawings like we did, something wasn't adding up.

"Long ago." Mystery suddenly said, reading the text and translating as she walked deeper in the tunnel, I got inside and followed soon. "The young race of men was frail and weak, to help them grow prosperous two twin brothers were chosen to be taught the art of magic, Merlin and Aurelius, the two boys showed incredible talent shaping the magic."

"But Merlin was an elemental." Leo whispered, cutting Mystery off only to be harshly shushed by the smallest mage.

"Merlin excelled at it and was prestigious, his brother not so much and he hated it."

"Oh this means vengeance." Leo whispered and this time it was Mystery that glared at him, her eyes shining as bright as the crystal torches, even brighter, beacons in darkness, dangerous beacons. "Sorry sorry.... Go on."

"Despite both being on the same level Merlin was somehow always the best, the younger brother's hate seething deep inside of him and growing into a dark force that enveloped his heart."

The drawings were expertly made but they didn't match anything that we learnt and the text didn't either... So was this the actual truth.

"Soon the brothers left their masters and went on teaching their own students, Merlin was righteous and rule abiding but his brother turned his hate into furry, teaching the prohibited to humans.
