Chapter 3
*Percy pov*
As soon as I made it to my cabin I locked the door behind me and closed the blinds to ensure that no one saw any of what I was about to do. I hurriedly walked over to the floor before my bed and pulled out my chest from underneath a hollow plank. I quickly muttered a unlocking spell and opened the chest. Inside it were all kinds of magic books that would help me whenever a demon or any other creature from the book escaped, but since I had memorized most of them they were barely of any use to me. Until now that is.
I look around, shifting through the books until I found it. It being 'the manual'. The manual of what to be exact, the universe. Everything that comes into this world or is a part of it. This would help figure out what to do about 'the book of demons'. I whisper the spell that unlocks it softly, and watch as the book glows softly and a soft clicking sound emits from it.
The light dulls, and I open the book. The manual was written in the language of the ancients, so no one other than me, the ancients or another member of my family could read it. Of course that isn't possible because I am the only member of my family still alive. Everyone else died protecting the book, of old age, or doing their duty. Like my mom. She died to protect me when the most dangerous being in the book escaped. Just thinking about it made me feel sad.
I'm getting off topic. I shook my head clearing it of the negative thoughts that had started to gather. I flip through the pages, looking for some information that could help me. After almost an hour I found something. I read over it quickly. It said that I had to go into a deep dream state and use my connections to the book to be able to check the barriers and protection shields on the book and occupants in more detail.
I had struck a gold mine. With this I would be able to ensure that the creatures in the book were secured all the time. I knew just what to do to get into a deep dream state. My mom once taught me how to make a drink that could get you to sleep for a long time without getting disturbed for a long time, she used to make it for me when I was younger a lot because of the headaches I got from practicing my magic. I stopped getting them once I grew older, but I still used it sometimes when I couldn't sleep.
The great thing about it was that all the ingredients were in camp. I could easily grab them and make the potion here. I closed the book and re-sealed it before placing it back in the chest, and locking the chest before placing it back under the plank and putting the plank back in place. I put a protection barrier on it just in case, before standing back up and grabbing a basket from my closet. I straighten up my clothes before exiting my cabin.
I had some plants to find.
