Rei and Amelina stopped as they saw a huge castle standing infront of them, the castle was withered like the rest of the village, Amelina looked at the gigantic shreded tapestries adorning the walls of the castle, Rei noticed many cracks in the walls of the castle, they both looked at each other.
Rei suddenly spoke, "Are you sure this is a good idea? The castle could crumble at any time." he said with a weak voice, Amelina quickly looked at Rei and smilled she quickly pulled her rapier out and created a small rune on the ground, "Don't worry, if the castle crumbles on our heads, i will instantly cast a spell that will teleport us right here." she said, pointing at the rune, she placed her rapier away, "Come on, there might be something of interest in this castle." she said, as she slowly entered the casle, Rei quickly followed her.
When they entered the walls of the castle, they saw multiple writings and carvings in the stones, each one being more detailed than the ones in the small chamber that Rei found, each one of the carvings resembled a great black dragon, almost perfectly resembling Rei, who protected multiple villages from monsters and fiends alike, another carving showed the dragon gifting food to a poor village and it's citizens, Amelina then suddenly spoke, "Hey Rei, those carvings almost resemble you." she said, Rei quickly shook his head multiple times and spoke, "It's a coincidence." he quickly replied, Amelina only giggled, which sounded adorable.
Rei saw a small library containing multiple books, he then shouted, "Hey Amy! Come here, there is something that might interest you!" Amelina quickly went to Rei and looked at the library, she quickly went to the nearest shelf and grabbed one of the books, she quickly gave a suprised look and said, "This is a tome about fire magic!" she said, "I've never seen a tome like ths one..." she finished, she checked every other tome, each one made for a specific school of magic: elemental magic, necromancy, demonic magic and even ancient tomes of healing magic, "Hm..." she said and quickly looked at Rei, "Hey Rei, try chanting this spell while looking at that chair." she said, as she gave Rei the tome of magic, "Uhm... Alright?" he said, giving a suspicious look, he quickly chanted the spell and saw that the chair quickly melted away! "Woah, that was actually pretty awesome!" he said, Amelina quickly said, "I knew it! I knew you also had an affinity for magic!" as she slapped Rei's hand, in response Rei growled and rolled his eyes, "You can take the tomes if you want, i want to go to the next room." he said, Amelina then replied, "I'll take them after we're done exploring this castle and the rest of the village." Rei crossed his arms while following his little sister to the next room.
The next room was full of weapons and relics, Amelina inspected every relic, she looked at a scroll that grabbed her attention, she quickly unrolled it and looked at it, showing a map of the castle, she quickly opened a small crack in reality as she quickly threw the scroll in the crack, only to then close it. Meanwhile Rei inspected every weapon, none of them grabbed his attention, the only weapon that almost grabbed his attention was a spear.
Eventually, Amelina looked at a sphere, she reached her hand to touch it, but it quickly started shining and started levitating, shorlty after, a bolt of magic shot out from the sphere and...
