Chapter 23: Seto's Legacy
Skylar's P.O.V
*Four weeks Later*
I bite my bottom lip back staring at my hands. I look up a little and at my bag with my stuff in it in front of me. I stand back up. I'm back at Seto's and mine's old home. I go into the hallway and open the door to Seto's room. I stand there for a second. His funeral was three weeks ago and I still feel like he is still here.
Seto was titled as a Fallen Hero, but that's only to the Army Bases. The Kingdom has him as a killed Dark Mage. So he is put as a villain in the books. But the Army Bases know Seto isn't a villain, he's a hero. He saved all of us at the cost of his own life. I sit on his bed.
Seto will always be a hero to me. He basically raised me since I was six. He's like my dad or big brother I never had. I look around. I see a book sitting on the desk. I get up and open it up. This is his spellbook. I open it up and read it. He did create a lot of spells. I flip through the pages and then blank with writing on it what seems like a letter to me.
Skylar,
Watched you grown up from six to well..a woman. Weird to think about that. Years go by don't they? I thought why not to give you three things that will help you as you get older.
I know that someday I won't be here for you anymore. Before I found you, you might think that I couldn't help but magic up over the many years. But you need the key. The key is in my desk somewhere...where it goes...you know where my favorite place to just be is. Search around there, think like me and take care of the place you find for me. Everything you need to know about anything in there is written down cause I would honestly forget too.
But one more thing...the spellbook. I don't have need for my spellbook anymore. So it's yours now. Learn the spells I created one by one and create spells of your own. Just please be careful while doing so.
I never told you what happened the day I found you and took you in. Truth be told you being sorceresses was a shock to even me. Found a little cute girl abandoned, no home or family...you kind of reminded me of myself when I was younger kind of. Your like the daughter I never had and I love you. I know I don't say that usually to you, but I really do. Totally in a family way type of love. I don't regret finding you the day we first meant and I couldn't be more proud of all the achievements you have accomplished and the many more to come.
I know I may be a pain at times, so are you, but it's hard to raise a child when you never actually knew what a real family was. You'll grown to an amazing person and you'll fly far without needing me anymore.
You'll make mistakes, cause..well I know you, you make a lot of them. Kidding...anyway you got friends that will help you out. You can't depend on me anymore Skylar. You say that you don't need me as much anymore, yet you constantly prove otherwise. I'm sure Jason will be happy to help with whatever problem you may have.
Sky, Ty, Jason, Quentin, Ian, Jerome, and Mitch are a bunch of goofballs and have problems of their own, but they are great people who give second chances even to those who don't deserve them. Trust me, I know. They gave me a second chance and not a day goes by where I haven't regretted that decision.
Plus Dylan and Seanna, you three together are like inseparable.
And Emerald I know will always be there for you if you ever need it.
I'll miss you Skylar and don't lose that optimistic attitude of yours. You make a lot of people smile when they don't want to, even me and I love that about you.
You'll always be that little six year old to me Skylar cause I never wanted you to leave. You were the thing that made my dark past disappear from my mind.
I know this might sound cheesy, but I know you'll make a big difference in the world, cause you already made a difference in mine.
Love ya Skylar..miss you..<3
-Seto
Tears hit the paper as I read the last words. I bite my bottom lip back and close the book.
He was my savior, my light in a dark tunnel. He was my dad and I love him.
I take the book. I open the desk shelfs and find a key on a black cord. I put it around my neck. I hear the door open and see Jason and Zane standing there.
"You ready to go?" Zane asks. Jason comes over to me. He wipes my tears.
"We're ready when you are." He said. I stand up and I look around.
"What about this place?" I ask. I look at Jason.
"Don't worry. Ty already said that he'll make sure nothing happens to it." Jason said. I grip Seto's spellbook in my hand. Zane already has my bag. Inside is my stuff and some of things to remember Seto for me. Like pictures and stuff he got me for or I got for him. We both go outside. I have the house key in my hand. I turn around and close the front door. I lock it behind me.
*Few Hours Later*
I get off my horse and tie it to a fallen tree on one of the branches. I look around. Seto loved being in the forest by this particular spot by the waterfall. I begun looking around with the key I found in his desk in my hand. I look at the waterfall. I smile a little. I know Seto and his tricks. I climb down to the shore of the river and climb next to the waterfall. I feel around the rocks till I'm behind the waterfall. I'm a little wet but that not much.
I look around. A keyhole. A keyhole. Where is a keyhole? I stop in my tracks.
"No..Seto wouldn't be that obvious." I said. I look at the river. I put the key around my neck again. I jump into the river. The water is a little cold but feels refreshing. I take a breath and swim down till I see barely a underwater cave. I swim to it and inside. I swim up a end up in a hole filled with water. I look seeing a big stone door with magic runes written on them and moss growing on it. I climb out of the hole and onto the rocks. I climb over to a path, in front of the door. I run my hand on the door and the runes light up and I take a step back. I pull out the key. I look for a keyhole but when I push the doors, it opens. Oh...you need to have the key on you and have magic. I put the key back on me. I see torches light up by themselves and I walk in. The doors shut behind me revealing a long and small hallway in front of me. How did he do this? As I walk on I see words written on the walls. I read each one I pass by. All are written in different handwriting. I smile. After what felt like a few minutes I see a small door with more runes on it. I grab the silver handle and turn it. I push it open. I look inside and my eyes widen.
"O my god." I said. I take a few steps forward taking in all the magical elements in the room. Swords on stands that have magic runes on them, armor with runes on it, objects everywhere, staffs, and books and papers littler the floor. I look at them. He probably hasn't been here in a long time. I pull out the his or actually now mine spellbook. I feel like...since he wrote me a letter. I write him one even though he'll never be able to read it. I walk around looking for something to write with. I finally found something and sit on the floor. I open up the book and go to a page after his letter.
Seto,
Even though I know you'll never read this, I still want to write. I loved living and growing up with you. It's you that made me who I am today. And even though all the punishments you gave, I complained about, I guess I deserved them all. (Not all of them really)
I always wondered what my parents looked like, if I had any siblings and I want to make it so I was with them. But...But that would mean I would never meet you.
I may never get to be the level of wizard you are, cause your the best at all magic!!! :)
But I'm gonna try. Crimson and Emerald said they would help me learn your spells and teach me how to create my own. I want to follow in your footsteps and be somewhat a powerful wizard.
I love you Seto! Your basically my dad and my big brother! Your family and I'm upset that you died so soon. But your a hero in my eyes and every recruit and our friends. Don't listen to the Kingdom or what the history books say.
You a hero and nothing can change that. Emerald told me some of your past, I don't know why you never told me. But Emerald said that you were afraid of telling anyone it cause of all the judgement you got back then by every Light Mage.
Honestly, I think it's cool that your a Dark Mage and I don't think your evil. I can't picture you being so cruel.
I still need your guidance, your advice, your teachings. But now all I have are memories. Yet they are good ones. Crimson and Em are telling me of your past more in depth and I don't think anyone could survive through the hard times you had.
Dark Mage to Light Mage.
I have to admit even I would doubt a mage that's from the Dark Mages. Yet your proof that not all Dark Mages are evil. Your amazing and strong. You make me smile and put up with me whenever I was a real pain. And you helped fixed my mistakes, I couldn't do anything without you to help me and push me to be myself.
I look up to you, your my role model and hero but most of all my dad. I'll miss you forever, I'll miss seeing that smile or hearing that adorable laugh of yours. I love you and I hope your resting in peace. Cause you deserve it...I love you and miss you dad.
Your daughter and apprentice,
Skylar
