Our first day out in the real world and Marry decides we have to spend it in the woods. There is no worse feeling than wandering through the woods with a witch.

I was expecting a gingerbread house but instead I got a book, which would have been more comforting if it hadn't been sealed by some sort of hideous witch lock type thing.

I know that may sound strange, but I honestly don't know what to call it. It had one large eye and a thin wide body that enveloped a third if the book. It's tentacles wrapped tightly around the remaining leather.

Marry tossed it to me telling me to open it. So I did what any sane man would do, I poked it in the eye. Needless to say it didn't work.

Marry then proceeded to explain, while looking at me like an idiot, that the seal was some sort of spell that only a beast of the same origin could open, a seal created by Lilith, a beast who's blood ran pure through my veins.

Marry handed me a letter written in German

" Dieses Buch ist für immer geschlossen

Es sei denn, mein Job ist rückgängig gemacht

Als wir alle werden kommen zusammen

Unsere Welt wird eins sein

Kein Blut mehr oder Qual

Keine Notwendigkeit mehr zu kämpfen

Mensch und Tier zusammen

Aalen in das Licht"

That roughly translates to:

"This book is sealed forever

Unless my job's undone

Than we all shall come together

Our world will be one

No more blood or torment

No more need to fight

Man and beast together

Basking in the light"

The lock proceeded to move erratically as it began to turn to blood running up my arms and disappearing into my skin. I opened the book, trying to ignore whatever that was, but it was blank; and that's as far as I've gotten sitting here with a blank book, I'm lost.
