Hi everyone, my first "fantasy" story here. Anyway, just to let you know that this is just an extraction from the second/third chapter which I'm currently working on! This is just an EXTRACTION, I repeat.
The Alpha and Omega Of Magic - Preface.
"Joanna, over here," I said, clapping my hands to free them of dust. "I think we found it."
“Turn the flashlight on!” she exclaimed, her auburn hair falling in tangled curls. A thick German accent laced her words. It didn’t even seem like it was necessary for her to take a breath between sentences. Amazingly, English was not even her first language. This meant she could speak even faster in her native tongue. “The power of a dying bulb isn’t good enough. Where am I? In space, watching a supernova?”
I fidgeted, took the flashlight out and switched it on and off a couple of times. “Steady!” Joanna roared. I leaped up and stammered a partially audible yes.
The flickering of the hanging bulb only made the atmosphere grimmer. As I focused the yellow beam the flashlight radiated towards the old dirt-laden mahogany chest, Joanna smirked. She pointed her finger directly over my forehead and whispered, “Well done, you!”
The sunlight filtered through the old stained glass windows and instantly illuminated the entire attic. A mouse squeaked somewhere in the corner and the age-old pines in the garden whispered a few secrets.
Joanna lifted her chin up and said, “We are evil roommates, Shawna Tucker. You'll soon find yourself enlightened. Welcome to The Alpha and Omega Of Magic here in Cyprus, sweetheart.”
