Bab 5: Secrets Unfold (Part 3) The ring (My precious)
As I enter the treasure room, two entrances spring up in my sight both have a logo on top. On the left is an egg with a snake wrapping around it. On the right is a hand, fingers outstretched, and a ring on the ring finger. My grandfather already told me what to do when I will inherit my heritage. First I need to choose my ring, as it will unlock the bounding curse to our family's magic, also it will determine what kind of magic blessing I will have. So I walk towards the right entrance. The room is well lit and full of shelves with rings on the display. According to our tradition, I must feel the ring that will be suited for me, so I started to roam around the room.
The room as a whole is not that big, maybe because it only holds rings for that matter. The origins of the rings are from artisan from the start of our Ophias family. The records show that the first artisan forged the first ring from an ancient tree that gifted one of the family members during his adventure for helping disperse a forest fire and was nearing the ancient tree. From there our family acknowledges that using a ring as a catalyst will increase the magic essence both gathering, affinity
and usage.
After walking and sightseeing a bit I saw many kinds of rings in the display. This is quite an extravagant collection. There are rings with gems, pure gold, jade stones, obsidian, wood, silver, metal, and others that I am not familiar with. As time goes on I still can't feel anything so a walk around once again. Still nothing. This makes me wonder if there is a ring destined for me. As my final option, I sat in the middle in a lotus position to calm myself. I close my eyes and focus on my surroundings. Minutes passed and I felt something warm, but where is it coming from? Right? No. Left? No. Front? No. Back? No. Where the hell is it. Frustration started to build up in me but I focus more on the source of heat. FOUND IT! Bottom! To be more specific at my buttocks.
I stand up immediately and saw the floor made of stone bricks. After carefully assessing the floor I touch which brick is giving that warm feeling. Finding the brick, I carefully inspect it. There is dust accumulated on top due to time. I cleaned it and saw a circle symbol. I touch the symbol trying to press it.
A very peculiar thing happen, there seems to be many root-like vines that creep toward my forefinger and formed a ring after wrapping around my finger. As I retract my arm to see my new ring for closer inspection, runic symbols started to show with a faint black color. Then the ring finalized its form. It was pure black, a black without luster. A ring that looks like intertwined roots that are creepy looking. Then a very warm comforting feeling entered me from everywhere as if I am sucking the air in the room, but it was not air but magic essence filling my magical core, which is surprisingly in my chest, I thought it was on my navel but never minding it more I also felt the veins spreading through my whole body, all over, every inch it's like forming a new vein. I conclude this to be my magical vein system, a new additional system in my body. "Finally I can use magic!!"
After my transformation, I experiment with my magic first. "Lumos!" I chanted. Light started to emit from my palm, just like a flashlight. How did I do it? Of course, I know the theory, in magic there is intent, spell, and execution. I know it all.
"Hmmm I wonder.." [Lumos]. I spoke in parseltongue. A more bright light was created in my palm. "So it is true." By using a more ancient language a spell can be amplified.
Being exited by My Magic I forgot to check further about my ring. There is something weird about it, it's like attracting me to something, but not in a defection but to say itself. I inspect it more. I tried to rub it, rotate it nothing happens. I tried to remove it, surprisingly it cannot be removed from my finger no matter how I tried. "Can't do anything about that now" I said to myself.
Experimenting more on my ring I tried to inject magic into it, it glows but nothing more. Then I tried to use My Magic conscious to it. There the surprise of my life happened. There was a space inside it. I can feel it and it was very spacious. I tried to visualize how big it is then information about the space entered my mind as if my ring is telling me its use. So this is my second gift from God. My very on spatial inventory.
the information that went to my consciousness told me its uses and characteristics. First, it is about 10 cubic kilometers, it will also expand as my magic grows or evolve. It can store living beings, and I just think of what to put or what to retrieve. Finally, I can manipulate the terrain by putting land or water in my space inventory. A soon-to-be mini-world so to speak. "NICESUU!!!!!"
Now that my business is finished here in the ring treasury room, off to the egg inheritance room.
Walking towards the other room, my mood is very joyful. At last, after seven years of waiting, I can finally conjure magic. Thinking about all the plans that I had already laid in the upcoming future. I am so thankful that my world is the magical world of Harry Potter. The only question is, is the outside world the movie or the book because it's a very different story.
Reaching my destination, the egg room, I am amazed by the sheer size of the room. It was like a very long corridor with shelves on both sides with four individual shelves holding an uncountable nest in a box where an egg is placed.
Like the previous room, I've been told to find the right egg by feeling my connection to it. I closed my eyes and feel the magic surrounding me, walking slowly forward. There is no fear of tripping because the floor is flat and by using my magic sense, somehow I can visualize my surroundings.
Seconds turned to minutes, minutes turned, to an hour. "What the fuck! I've been here for more than an hour, but still, not even an itch came." Feeling the floor is heading in a slope downwards I open my eyes. [Lumos] I chanted and pointed my palm in front of the corridor. "I can't see the end still how long is this egg treasury."
Giving up on closing my eyes and adding the fact that I am also feeling a little tired from that walking and sensing. I started to walk with my eyes open and fastening my pace. Passing through many eggs of different kinds of shapes and colors, inspecting some very eye-catching eggs. There are eggs that I am very interested in and almost tempted to just grab and walk away to finish this, but this is the Ophias tradition of heritage I can not break it, at least I am going to respect my family here. Especially my mother dearest and my sister.
Still walking and sightseeing for many minutes, I heard a very faint voice.
[Here... I am here]
I run towards the voice excitedly "FINALLY!"
