At Duin Castle

(Duin)"I've returned with the book."

(Toffee)"That was sooner than I expected, did they even fight back?"

(Duin)"That William did, but he was still too young, I barely tried fighting him. We won't worry about him for some time now."

(Toffee)"And why do you think that?"

(Duin)"The little brat didn't keep his mouth shut, now he's lying on the ground with half his body vaporized."

Toffee couldn't help but bare a true smile upon hearing this news.

(Toffee)"Then I guess me and Zoozai are semi even for now."

(Duin)"Enough delaying, let's welcome our new guest."

He placed the book on a large table before opening it, and Glossaryck seemed to have expecting him.

(Glossaryck)"Hello Duiny...and Toffee."

(Duin)"Imp, you know who I am, so I'll just cut to the chase. You will teach me how to properly use this staff. I want to know every possible spell that book holds."

He summoned his scythe, and his eye began to glow.

(Duin)"You can cooperate with me, or I'll just have to find a way to convince you."

(Glossaryck)"...Okay! Let's get started!"

(Duin)"Huh? You're more cooperative than I thought."

(Glossaryck)"Hey, you got the book now, so it's my job to teach you everything I can."

(Duin)"I see, so what is the first lesson?"

Glossaryck flipped through most of the pages, and finally decided on what he noted to be one of the most basic spells.

(Glossaryck)"We're going to start with some simple object transfer. Let's have you try...LLLLLLevitato.'

(Duin)"Sounds simple enough."

(Glossaryck)"Now, when you're ready, I want you to bring me that apple."

(Duin)"What apple?"

(Glossaryck)"That one."

An apple poofs onto the table across from Duin and Glossaryck.

(Glossaryck)"Now concentrate, and say, 'Levitato'."

Duin pointed the staff at the apple, and both it and the top of the staff were glowing purple.

(Duin)"Levitato..."

Within a few moments, the apple was floating towards Duin.

(Glossaryck)"Wow, great job!"

(Duin)"I can use telekinesis without this, it was a walk in the park."

(Glossaryck)"Then...here! Try this one."

He turned to a page with a spell called, "Magis Armis".

(Glossaryck)"You'll need a target for this one."

(Bazzral)"Oh, great Duin, I have prepared your dinner!"

(Glossaryck)"Perfect timing! Use it on him."

(Duin)"Magis Armis..."

He fired a purple beam at Bazzral, who then had a third arm on his left shoulder.

(Bazzral)"AH! What just happened!?"

(Duin)"Interesting, I never would have thought of that."

(Glossaryck)"You can thank Crescenta Butterfly for that one."

And for the next few days, Glossaryck taught Duin nearly every spell in the book. He learned to stop time, create time loops, alter objects into living creatures, wipe specific memories, ect.

One Late Night

(Glossaryck)"I am genuinely impressed! You've mastered so many spells this past few days that would've taken Star YEARS to even understand!"

(Duin)"She's not the brightest of the bunch. Sure, she's able to make up her own spells, but from what I've seen, she can't get her wand to do what she tells it to do most of the time. She literally turned her school teacher into a hideous troll."

(Glossaryck)"I'll have to agree with you on that. She's a good kid, just a bad listener."

Duin seemed to get impatient trying to find a certain page in the spell book.

(Duin)"Who put this thing together? It's an utter mishmash! The damn table of contents is in the middle! I swear, I-...What's this? Why haven't you told me about this?"

She showed Glossaryck the page, which had a skull and blue chains.

(Glossaryck)"Oh, that's a very dangerous chapter, written by...written by......huh, I can't remember who wrote it."

(Duin)"If it has powerful spells, then open it."

(Glossaryck)"Are you sure? It may taint your mind."

(Duin)"...You do realize that I have killed thousands of Oozai, correct?"

(Glossaryck)"Well then...you should be fine!"

He took out a golden key, then stuck it into the skull's eyesocket with his foot. The skull levitated off the page, and the words that were written seemed to remind Duin of something.

(Duin)"These words...this handwriting...how...? I-It's her! This is her writing!"

(Glossaryck)"Who's?"

(Duin)"Spades! She wrote this!"

(Glossaryck)"Who's Spades?"

(Duin)"My late lover!"

(Glossaryck)"Okay, that's enough shouting. But if this is who you say it is, how could she have done this? She couldn't have had the wand yet."

(Duin)"I am unsure, too. But, I'm going to learn each spell she created..."

(Omega)"Hmm, I wonder how that got there?"
