Juvia felt the unease in the air, the forest around them thrumming with an unfamiliar energy. Levi’s observation about the forest not feeling like the Forbidden Forest resonated with her; this place was different, ancient in a way that felt older than Hogwarts itself. She moved cautiously, her eyes darting around, ever watchful for any signs of danger. As they approached the glowing altar, Juvia could feel the magic thickening, like a palpable force wrapping around them. The runes on the stone altar pulsed with a light that seemed almost alive, responding to their presence. "This place feels... alive," she whispered, more to herself than to Levi.
Levi's remark about the torches being fresh made her even more wary. She stepped closer to the altar, running her fingers over the glowing runes. The symbols were intricate, weaving together in a way that suggested they held powerful magic. "Whoever or whatever maintains this place wants someone to be here," she said, her voice low and thoughtful.
The snap of a twig made her spin around, wand at the ready. Levi’s tension mirrored her own, and she could see the same realization in his eyes. "We're not alone," he said, echoing her thoughts. Juvia’s mind raced as she considered their options. The altar was clearly significant, and whatever had brought them here wouldn’t have done so without a purpose. "We need to figure out what this altar does," she said urgently, her eyes scanning the surroundings for any sign of movement.
"We need to read these runes," she said, her voice steady despite the tension.

Levi clocked an eyebrow as he looked over at Juvia with multiple thoughts running through his mind. Mainly one thought and that was if they were safe yet or if they were in even more danger. " What is this place. " He questioned taking in a deep breath feeling almost the vibrations of magic around him. An uneasy feeling like one would feel if the weight of the world were on their shoulders. gravity like pushing him down. His eyes scanned the vicinity hoping to find an answer.
" Wait, lets back track a little. " He said as he walked over behind her toward the alter. " The place that led us here was a book found in some kind of old study with things belonging to the Headmistress.... " A sudden thought popped into his mind. " There's simply now ay the Headmistress would deal in dark magic like this right? " He said holding back his thoughts of dark magic. This would be one interesting story to tell the members of the Dark Arts club and he wondered if the others would even believe him.
" I didn't study Ancient Runes but I know a bit. " By a bit of course he knew how to write his name in the most basic of ancient runic. The tension and the twig snapping didn't help with the situation either as his eyes scanned the runes. " Wait, I think... I think I understand this. " He placed his hands on the runes trying to decipher whatever the heck was in front of them.
" The... moonlight... leads ... the ... pig ... exit?" He was even more confused than before. " Something about moonlight, a pig and an exit. " He was sure there was something wrong in his deciphering skills but it was a start. " Do you want to try?" He asked feeling the time pressures build up on him.

Juvia took a deep breath, feeling the weight of Levi’s confusion and the eerie atmosphere pressing in on them. "The Headmistress dealing in dark magic? It’s hard to believe, but maybe there's more to this place than we understand." She stepped closer to the altar, her eyes narrowing as she examined the runes more closely.
Levi’s attempt at deciphering had been valiant, but clearly, something was lost in translation. "Moonlight and a pig... that doesn’t make much sense," she murmured, her fingers tracing the intricate carvings. She focused her mind, recalling the lessons from her own studies at Mahoutokoro. Ancient Runes had been a challenging subject, but she had always enjoyed the puzzle-like nature of it. "Let me see if I can get a clearer understanding," she said, taking a moment to center herself before beginning to translate the runes.
Her fingers moved over the runes, and she muttered softly to herself as she worked through the symbols. "Moonlight... no, not moonlight... illumination... and the pig... that’s a mistranslation, it’s more like ‘sacred creature’..." She paused, thinking hard. "So, ‘Illumination guides the sacred creature to the exit’?"
Juvia straightened up, her mind racing. "Illumination... it must mean light. Maybe moonlight, or maybe it’s our wands," she said, holding up her wand, the light from the tip casting long shadows over the altar. "And the sacred creature... could it be a symbol for something else, like a student or a wizard?"
She stepped back, her eyes scanning the forest around them. "There’s something here we’re missing. If we can find the ‘sacred creature’ and use the light to guide it, maybe we can activate the altar and find our way out of here." Juvia turned to Levi, determination in her eyes. "Let’s try lighting the runes with our wands and see if anything happens," she suggested. "Lumos," she cast, and the tip of her wand glowed brightly. She touched the light to the runes, hoping for some kind of reaction.

A little frown appeared on his face as he quickly clocked his face over to Juvia. " What makes you think this is dark magic? " He asked gripping onto his wand tighter as he tried to read Juvia's thought process. There's no way she would of known that this is dark magic. Only those trained to know what Dark magic is would identify this runes to be used for an exit out of this trap. Levi had worked with dark magic for some time now and knew what was involved with learning dark magic.
He couldn't exactly give away that he knew what this place was and continued on with the charade that he knew nothing about the location. " So we need to illuminate our wands over some statue?" He tried to summarise what she had said as he watched her illuminate her wand against the runes and to no surprise nothing. " It's not working." He said as he heard yet another twig snap in the distance.
His eyes looked around when in the corner of his peripheral vision he saw movement within the trees around him. " There." He pointed with his wand. "Diffindo! " He called out causing some tree branches to fall and to allow the moonlight to hit the runes in front of them. " Look!" he exclaimed as he pointed toward the runes that were now glowing when the Earth underneath them began to open up and a stair case emerged from the centre of the alter.

Juvia narrowed her eyes slightly, sensing Levi's hesitation and the intensity of his question about dark magic. She didn't respond immediately, taking a moment to choose her words carefully. "I didn't mean to imply it was dark magic," she finally said, her tone measured. "It's just... unfamiliar. And ancient. Sometimes, things that are old and powerful can feel... unsettling."
She watched as Levi took charge, casting Diffindo to clear the branches and allow the moonlight to strike the runes. To her surprise, the runes began to glow, and a staircase emerged from the center of the altar. "Look at that," she murmured, stepping closer to examine the newly revealed passage.
Levi's question pulled her attention back. "It seems like this is our way forward," she replied, her voice tinged with caution. "But we should be careful. Who knows where this staircase leads?"
She glanced around the forest once more, her senses on high alert for any further signs of movement or danger. "I think we should go down," she decided finally, looking back at Levi. "But let's stay together and keep our wands at the ready. We don't know what we might encounter." With that, she took a step toward the staircase, her wand held firmly in her hand, ready to illuminate their path as they descended into the unknown depths below.

[blockquote[ The adventure seemed to only get more interesting as yet another twig snapped. This time, a lot closer than before. " We need to go. " He said as he felt a chill run down his spine at the thought of what could potentially be around the corner watching them. Two lonely students finding themselves in all sorts of trouble without adult supervision. Levi was great with his wand but considering he had no idea where they were, it would only be trouble if they remained.
The darkened staircase seem to lead toward a dark abyss. What choice did they have? It was either be attacked by something from the darkness of the forest they were in or go down a set of stairs that let to darkness. " We don't have a choice, but I agree, let's have our wands ready." He replied taking one last look at the moonlight hitting the runes and the stair case before them.
This time, Levi led the way taking the step forward as he held onto Juvia's arm softly so that they wouldn't lose each other. Levi took three steps the darkened staircase before lighting up the tip of his wand. " I wonder where this leads..." He whispered as he took a step forward only to hear mechanical sounds echoing. " Well that's no...." Within a second of speaking, the staircase they were walking down on turned into a slippery slope sending them sliding toward even more darkness.
" Brace yourself!" He called out as he noticed a little glimmer of light in the distance. [/blockquote]

Juvia felt the tension rise as Levi urged them to move quickly, a sense of urgency palpable in his voice. She nodded in agreement, her senses alert to the rustling sounds that seemed to draw closer. "Let's go," she affirmed, ready to face whatever awaited them in the depths below rather than stay vulnerable above ground. As Levi took the lead, holding onto her arm for support, Juvia followed closely, her wand at the ready, casting a faint glow to illuminate their path. The staircase ahead loomed dark and foreboding, its descent into obscurity echoing the uncertainty of their situation.
Levi's whisper echoed her own thoughts about where this path might lead, but before they could ponder it further, the staircase abruptly transformed beneath them. Juvia's heart skipped a beat as the smooth surface turned slick, sending them sliding down into the darkness.
"Brace yourself!" Levi's voice rang out, and Juvia tightened her grip on her wand as they hurtled down the slope. Amidst the chaos, a faint glimmer of light beckoned from the distance, offering a sliver of hope amidst the unknown. As they slid onward, Juvia steadied herself, preparing for whatever lay ahead as they approached the light. The thrill of the unexpected mixed with apprehension, fueling her determination to face the challenges ahead with Levi by her side.

A large thud echoed in the distance as Levi found himself in yet another room. One that looked too familiar for his liking. " Are you okay?" He asked turning his direction over to Juvia. Luckily for him this time, he had a firm grasp on his wand finding himself holding onto it for the whole slide descent.
" Wait." He said as he took notice of the room they were in. " We're back in that study room!" He exclaimed feeling more confused than ever. The fireplace, dust and books all remained un touched as if they had not visited the place some time ago. " What do you think this means now?"
Post by JUVIA HIMURA on Jun 15, 2024 20:57:27 GMT -5
Juvia breathed a sigh of relief as she landed with a soft thud beside Levi, her mind still racing from the unexpected slide down the staircase. She nodded in response to his inquiry, reassuring him with a brief smile that masked her own lingering bewilderment. As Levi took in their surroundings, Juvia followed suit, her brows furrowing in confusion at the sight before them. It was indeed the same study room where their journey had seemingly begun, unchanged and eerily familiar down to the last detail.
"We're back in that study room!" Levi's exclamation mirrored her own thoughts, prompting a surge of questions in Juvia's mind. The untouched fireplace, the lingering dust on the shelves, and the books standing undisturbed—all seemed to defy the reality of their recent adventure. "I don't know," Juvia admitted softly, her gaze flickering around the room as if searching for clues that might explain their sudden return. "It's like... we never left," she mused, her voice tinged with uncertainty.
The implications of their experience weighed heavily on her mind. Had they truly traveled somewhere, or was it all an illusion conjured by the mysterious book and its runes? Juvia's thoughts raced as she considered their next course of action, wondering if there were more answers to uncover or if they should simply leave the room and pretend it had never happened.

With how things were going, Levi was starting to feel exhausted with the constant back and forth between places at Hogwarts. A small adventure turned out to be one of the most mysterious things he'd ever encountered during his time at Hogwarts. " Why don't we try the door?" he asked pointing at it as he helped himself up to his feet only to find the door locked with more than just the mechanics. " The door, it's magically sealed. " There was no point trying to break the locking spell, it looked very advanced, even for Levi.
" Hold on..." He said as he noticed the books splayed out on the desks and floors. " Everything is mirrored." The text, the images, the potions ingredients and even all the letters written backwards, like the way you'd find if a mirror was placed on it. " Something's not right here, let's search for a mirror?"

Juvia nodded in agreement with Levi's observation, her mind trying to grasp the bizarre nature of their situation. She followed his gaze to the books and scrolls scattered across the desks and floor, each one displaying mirrored text and images, as if they were reflections in a looking glass. "You're right," she murmured, bending down to examine a particularly odd scroll that seemed to defy normal reading. The mirrored letters twisted her brain for a moment before she straightened up and scanned the room for any signs of a physical mirror.
"Let's look around," Juvia suggested, her voice echoing slightly in the quiet room. She moved toward a large, ornate mirror hanging on the wall, hoping it might offer some clue or solution to their predicament. As she approached, she noticed something peculiar—the reflection in the mirror was subtly different from the actual room.
"Levi, come here," she called softly, gesturing for him to join her. "Look at this mirror. The reflection... it's not the same as the room." Indeed, while the study room behind them appeared dusty and disused, its mirrored image in the glass was pristine, as if untouched by time. "This mirror could be the key," Juvia speculated, her curiosity piqued once more. "Maybe it's not just reflecting, but showing us something different. Do you think it could lead us somewhere else?"

It was so mesmerising how the room they were in looked exactly like the other they were just in. Magical was full of crazy surprises but he had never expected the school to hold something like this hidden between the bookshelves and portraits. " What's that?" He asked looking over at what Juvia had found.
" I don't know where that is. " He said as he thought about the mirror that they had touched that caused them to be stuck in this place the first time around. " Should we go in or try and find other things? " He asked worried about what and where the mirror would take them. Curiosity would always get the better of him.

Juvia studied the mirror intently, its pristine reflection an eerie contrast to their dusty surroundings. She could feel the pull of the unknown, the desire to uncover the secrets this enchanted object might hold. She glanced back at Levi, noting his curiosity but also his hesitation. "We need to be careful, but I think we should explore it. If we stay here, we're stuck. If we go through, at least we're moving forward."
Juvia had another idea—to risk not getting lost once again. She reached into her robe pockets to remove a single hair tie. Nothing too significant of a loss. She tied it carefully around a piece of the mirror frame, one that poked out. Then, with a small sigh of the unknown, glanced back at Levi to learn if he agreed with her or not about moving forward.

" Do we trust it? " He asked as he took a deep breath in and out as his eyes closed for a second to take a little break. However, something was happening now, a vision of sorts. Images popped up in his mind as he began to develop a soft smile, he could almost hear a melodic composition playing in his head. " Do you hear that? " He asked Juvia as he slowly opened his eyes only to see they were still in the same room but the music continued to play.
" There's a harp there. " He said as he closed his eyes again and saw a verry blurred out image of what he could only assume was a harm based off what he had seen before. " Come on!" He said as he ran toward the mirror this time holding back no hesitations with what he was doing. The melody only getting louder and louder in his head as he walked through the mirror to find himself in an empty room with a harp directly to the side of the mirror.

Juvia followed Levi through the mirror, her heart racing with a mix of excitement and caution. She stepped into the room and saw the harp, exactly as Levi had described. The melody was hauntingly beautiful, filling the room with an otherworldly quality. "It's... mesmerizing," she said softly, her eyes fixed on the harp. The room itself was otherwise empty, save for the mirror they had just stepped through. The walls were adorned with intricate patterns, and the air felt charged with magic.
Juvia approached the harp cautiously, her wand still at the ready. "Do you think it's enchanted?" she asked, glancing back at Levi. "Maybe it's the key to something else." She gently reached out and touched one of the strings, causing a single, resonant note to fill the room. The note seemed to vibrate through the very walls, and she could feel the magic pulsing around them.
"There's something more to this," Juvia said, her curiosity piqued. "Maybe we need to play a specific melody or find a clue in the room."
