Silver by SupMario		

Chapter 6

I pulled up a chair and sat down across from Grevlok and he continued
puffing on his pipe, waiting for me to ask my questions. 

"Arianna tells me that you may have a way for me to find Raven, is
that true?"

"Why yes, dear boy, it is.  I am going to help you create a homing
amulet which will lead you straight to her.  You must be the one who
actually makes it, however, because you love her, and that love is
what will lead you to her.  To do this, I must teach you some
fundamentals about magic."

I let that sink in and then thought of Arianna.  "What about Arianna?
She was acting strangely."

Grevlok looked beyond me, as if he were thinking of something.  "She
blames Raven for almost killing you.  And while its true that she did
indeed gravely injure you, she did not do it with malice.  We both
know this.  Arianna is a dear child.  She loved her brother dearly and
grieved terribly when we learned of his death.  Arianna and Silver
were quite intimate before Raven came into the picture.  They had a
very unorthodox relationship to say the least.  Arianna was ever
jealous of Raven when she stole Silver's heart away from her.  And
now, when Raven almost killed you, Arianna didn't want to deal with
losing you a second time."

"Ah, okay.  Well what about magic?  You say you'll teach me?"

He puffed away, studying me for a few minutes before chuckling a
little and answering me.  "Yes, Paul.  I'll teach you some basic magic
that you'll need on your quest to find Raven.  I'm afraid you'll be
going it alone on this, I dare say Arianna will not be going with you
on such a quest of love.  Go up the stairs and the door one flight up
from Arianna's room is yours.  Your room is there and everything of
Silver's is in that room.  You may find some useful things in there.
Get some rest and I will join you there in a few hours to begin your
lessons."

With that, he bade me leave and I went up the stairs thinking of
everything he'd told me.  My quest to find Raven.  Arianna and
Silver's relationship.  Things were starting to become clearer.  That
was why Arianna didn't want to help me find Raven.  I stopped at
Arianna's door and knocked.  I got no answer so I continued up the
stairs until I came to the nest landing and found the door Grevlok had
told me of.  I opened it and walked inside.

I was in a small study with bookshelves lining the walls and
comfortable chairs and low tables finishing the place.  A small
glowing sphere hung from the ceiling giving off a soft light, enough
to read by I see.  I looked about the place and then headed through
the opposite doorway and found myself in a small laboratory like
Arianna's, except mine had little vials and bottles with eerie liquids
in them on the long table along with a variety of large books, about
the size of dictionaries.

I picked up one of the large books and it was titled `Potions and
Elixirs for the Practical Sorcerer.'  

Okay, whatever.

I put that down and picked up another.  It was titled simply `Ghastly
Deaths.'  That one sounded interesting.

I went through the opposite doorway and found the bedroom.  There was
a small bed on one side of the room, and a large walk-in closet next
to it.  There was a small bookshelf next to the head of the bed and
the books there looked much more delicate and personal than the big
ones in the lab.  I spotted a large wooden chest at the foot of the
bed and a closed door that just begged to be opened, so I opened it
and peered inside.  To my total amazement, it was a bathroom.  Toilet,
sink, shower, the whole works.  Weird.

From Raven's reaction when she had visited my home, I had thought.
well, anyway it was a surprise.  A pleasant surprise!  I used the
facilities with relish and took a long, hot bath that felt marvelous

After the wonderful bath, I dried off and headed for the closet,
determined to find something suitable to wear.  I found a silver and
blue robe that looked similar to the ones Grevlok wore and put it on.
It was a lot more comfortable than it looked, and I added the black
boots.  I flopped down onto the bed and looked at the bookshelf where
I found a small diary-type book on top.  I took it and thumbed through
it.  

It was filled with archaic symbols and strange writing.  It looked to
be in a different language or something.  It looked fairly organized,
but he couldn't make anything out of it.  He heard a knock on his door
and went to the study and opened the door.  Arianna was outside the
door, with a hopeful look on her face.  "Can I come in?  I'd like to
talk to you."

I let her in and closed the door, then bad her sit down so we could
talk.  "So what's on your mind, Arianna?"  I sat down in an easy chair
and got comfortable.

"Well, I'd like to apologize for my attitude towards Raven.  I know
how much she means to you.  If you'd like, I'll help you look for her;
she's my friend too."

"Thanks.  I would appreciate your help.  Grevlok tells me that he's
going to teach me some basic magic.  It sounds great.  I found what I
think is Silver's spellbook in the bedroom but I can't read a word of
it."

She looked surprised at this.  "You found. show me!!"  She snapped up
out of the chair and headed for the bedroom where the book was.  I
followed her in and showed her the small volume resting on the side of
the bed where I had left it.  Arianna opened the book and leaf through
he pages, her eyes growing wide.

"He was supposed to have kept this with him.  This is his private
spellbook.  Wizards always carry a small one like this with them
containing just the spells they think they're going to need for the
trip.  This is the one he made before going on that quest.  I don't
get it!  There's no reason for him to have left this here.  He would
have been at a distinct disadvantage without a spellbook.  Even the
greatest of wizards can't memorize all the spells he or she'd need, so
we keep small spellbooks with us."  She continued flipping through the
pages, noting which spells he had copied into it.

I had an inspiration.  "Maybe he brought along a different spellbook?"

She answered without looking up from the spellbook.  "Well, maybe.
See if you can find any more books shaped about like this one in the
bookshelf there."  I bent down and began hunting and sure enough I
found two more small spellbooks.  I showed them to Arianna and she
went white.  "He only had three!  And the larger volumes are right
there on the bookshelf!  He left without a spellbook!  No wonder he
perished!  The fool!  No offense of course."

"None taken.  But I was wondering.  It'll still be a few hours before
Grevlok comes up here to give me those magic lessons.  Do you think
you could teach me the language these spellbooks are written in?  I'd
love to be able to read them."

She looked up at me and grinned.  "They're written in Elvish.  Silver
and I were taught to read and write elvish as kids even before we
learned common.  That's why you can't read any of them, I forgot."
She giggled to herself for a minute or two and then nodded her head.
"Yes, I'll teach you.  It shouldn't take long.  In fact, there's a
spell here somewhere just for this purpose.  It'll teach you Elvish in
a flash.  She flipped through the big book on the bottom shelf, found
the spell she wanted then put the big book away.

She raised up and placed a hand on my head and gestured with her other
hand over my head and mumbled something and then took away her hand,
opened her eyes and grinned.  "Try it now."  She handed me the small
spellbook and I could read its contents!  The book was divided into
sections like offense, defense, controlling weather, healing, and
supernatural.  I thumbed through the `defense' section and found a
spell called `shield from missiles.'  That might be useful.

Each spell was sorted into two sections: symbols and chanting.  You
just had to make some kind of symbol in the air and say the right
thing and presto.  Sounded way to easy.  Of course, I was wrong about
that.  It took quite a bit of concentration to make anything happen
even if you said the right things and made the right gestures, you
still had to visualize the exact affect your spell was supposed to
have.

Arianna gave me some good advice and some pointers and I was glad she
was here to help me.  I didn't want to seem like a neanderthal when
Grevlok came up here.

After an hour or two, Arianna bade me good night and left.  Grevlok
came after a few minutes and he seemed pleased that I had gotten
Arianna to help me read Elvish.  We went into the laboratory and he
proceeded to give me my first real lesson in magic.  I shall not write
of it here, for it would be disrespectful of me to do so, so let me
just say that he taught me the fundamentals that I would need to study
and learn more and newer spells.  As he put it, I had to walk along
the road myself, he had simply shown me the correct road to travel.

I studied almost all that night, learning more about the weird system
of magic that they practiced.  It wasn't easy.  I was beginning to see
why Arianna was always `studying' now.  It took a long time to get to
a level where you could actually cast these things easily.  Some of
the easiest spells were easy to memorize because they were simplistic,
like `light.'  

I went to bed exhausted and awoke the next morning to find Arianna
waiting for me in my study, breakfast waiting for me.  "Good morning,
I brought some breakfast for the two of us.  Hoe you don't mind."

"Not at all, that's very nice of you.  Thanks, sis."  I smiled my best
toothy grin at her and she smiled back, pleased that I appreciated her
efforts.  

"So how did your lessons go last night?"  She asked as she munched on
a roll.

"Great.  I didn't realize how hard it is, but I'm getting the hang of
it.  Now I know why your always wanting to study."  I sat down and
began eating with her, aware, maybe for the first time, of her
splendid figure.  She was wearing a simple silk robe that looked more
like lingerie than a robe.  It showed her body off magnificently
however.  She is your half-sister, dammit!  Stop thinking these kind
of things.  I was mad at myself for even thinking about having sex
with her.  But then I remembered about Silver's relationship with her
and suddenly it occurred to me that she may just be trying to get my
mind off Raven.

"I can't wait to find out more about this amulet that Grevlok is going
to help me build so I can find Raven.  It sounds intriguing."  

She looked up at me and smiled curtly.  "Yes, amulet making takes
patience but it can be very rewarding."

We finished breakfast and I got dressed, ready to face the day.
Arianna showed me a few tricks that helped my studies a bit and left
to do her studies.  I studied for a while and quickly started to
become a tad bored.  Sure, it was exciting to learn magic, but it was
like getting a video game for Christmas and then being told you can't
touch it.  Frustrating.

I went down to see if Grevlok was in the mood for a chat.  I was
impatient to do whatever it took to find Raven.  Grevlok was in his
study reading, as usual.  I was beginning to wonder if he ever did
anything else?

When I entered the room he looked up and smiled warmly.  "Good
morning.  Arianna told me how fetching you look in Silver's robe.
She's right, you look exactly like him like that.  I see you are ready
for the amulet-making.  Yes, you want to find Raven, I know this.  You
don't need to tell me, dear boy.  I was a young man, once too you
know."  He grinned mischievously and bade me follow him into his
laboratory.

He led me to a large table in the back of the room that had strange
tools and books lying on it.  He picked up a small ruby and held it up
to the light for me to look at it.  It was shaped like a sphere and
the size of a gumball and looked extremely expensive.

"That must be worth a fortune!  Can you just conjure those out of thin
air?"  What a neat trick that would be!

Grevlok put the ruby back onto the table, chuckling.  "Oh no, dear
boy.  It doesn't work quite like that.  Yes, I can conjure up a
handful of gems, its an easy spell, but it only lasts an hour and then
poof they disappear back into the void where they came from.  No dear
boy, for working this type of magic you need the real thing.  Luckily
I have quite a number of connections that keep me in stock.  Mind you,
I'm not rolling in them, but I have a few for spell-casting.  Now
where was I?  Oh yes, yes.  Now you see, the ruby is for love.  Now
Arianna provided the second ingredient which we need, and that's a
lock of Raven's hair.  She recently brushed her hair so she had it.
If it weren't for her quick hair brush, you'd be stuck.  Now just wrap
the hair around the gem and I'll tell you what to do after that."

I took the few strands of black hair and wrapped them around the gem
as tightly as I could and then tied them around it securely.  I looked
up at Grevlok, ready for part two.

"All right, now you need to add a drop of your blood to the gem.  Just
prick your finger with that dagger there and drop two drops of blood
onto the gem."

After I did that, he had me set the gem down onto a small crystal
stand and showed me the spell I had to cast.  It was a complicated
one.  I stumbled through as best I could, and Grevlok helped me with
the pronunciation of some of the spell.  

After we were through, I was holding a small ruby that could lead me
to Raven, at least in theory.  Grevlok explained.  "The gem is set to
operate like a compass.  It'll show you what direction to follow by
glowing when your facing the right direction.  Its primitive, but it
should work.  Now, we just need to get you ready for your journey."

He led me upstairs to my bedroom and helped me pack for the journey.
He gave me a small sack of gold coins for money and took an ornate
silver dagger that I could use to defend myself if I needed to.  He
left, telling me to go through Silver's main spellbook, now mine, and
make a traveling spellbook with the spells I might need.  I asked him
what kind of spells I should choose, and he told me to trust my
instincts.  

That didn't answer my question, though.  I took out the huge volume
from the beside shelf and thumbed through it, hoping to find some kind
of index.  And sure enough, there was a rather nice index in the back
of the book!  It took two hours just to go through the entire thing,
writing down the page numbers of spells that I thought I might need
and by lunch time I had serviceable spellbook prepared.  I had even
found a spell that protected me from other wizards, a sort of
anti-magic field that would surround me and keep spells out.  A magic
umbrella, I thought to myself, grinning.

Once I was relatively certain I was ready, I walked down the steps and
found Arianna talking with Grevlok.  Arianna asked me of I was ready.


"Yeah, I suppose so."  I was still uncertain as to exactly how I would
be traveling.

"Well, have you ever ridden a horse?"  I said no, I hadn't.  They both
frowned at me.  Grevlok muttered "well that blows that idea" under his
breath and then Arianna grinned.  "Guess you'll just have to hoof it."

I grinned and said walking was fine.  With the ruby to guide me, I
wasn't too concerned.

I set out immediately wanting to get a good start on things, and
walked around in a circle, getting a bearing with the ruby and headed
off in a southerly direction.  I found the road and began following
it, whistling a happy tune as I traveled, enjoying the afternoon
despite the seriousness of my quest.  It just felt good to get out of
that tower and get fresh air.  I don't know how Arianna and Grevlok
can stand being cooped up like a bird in a cage.

I passed a group of elvish children playing in a nearby field and they
seemed to recognize me, waving and yelling greetings in the elven
tongue, which thanks to Arianna, I could understand now.  I called
back a friendly hello as I walked past and soon found myself at a fork
in the road.  I checked the ruby and headed down the right fork,
wondering how far Raven had traveled.  

I walked down the wide dirt road for several hours before coming upon
a small village that seemed to be populated mostly by dwarves,
although I did see and elf or two here or there.  Since it was going
on evening, I stopped for the night at a inn I saw a little ways off
the road.  I walked inside and the place was crowded.  There was an
open dining hall where dwarves and elves alike were drinking and
laughing and doing some other things which surprised me.

You just don't walk into restaurants and find couples screwing!  At
least not on my world.  I usually sat at the back of these types of
places, but that was where the copulating couples were, so I sat near
the entrance, feeling uneasy in the place.  Shortly, a barmaid
appeared and smiled at me, and winked.  She looked me up and down and
her smile grew wider.  "It's great to see you.  You haven't been here
in a while, you want the usual?"

Perplexed, I agreed.  Hey what the heck, I thought to myself, go with
the flow.  She left and came back with a large mug of some kind of
alcohol and gave it to me and left.  I took a tentative sip and it
tasted good actually.  I sat back and drank slowly and presently the
barmaid came back carrying a bowl of what smelled like chili.  She sat
it down in front of me and warned me it was hot.

After I had eaten, she came back and told me to follow her.  We went
up a flight of steps and inside a small chamber that was filled with
young woman of all shapes and sizes.  She told me to pick which ever
two I wanted.  I was confused by this.  I thought she was going to
show me to a room where I could rest for the night.  I thought I'd
better humor her, because this world undoubtedly had strange customs I
wasn't aware of yet.  Most of the woman were elvish ladies that looked
like they were in their mid-twenties.  I picked the two youngest
looking ones, a short brunette and a busty redhead.

They were both extremely pretty, but I wasn't sure what I was picking
them for.  Boy, was I thick-headed.  The barmaid led me to a room
where I could sleep and left me there without as mush as an
explanation and two elves looking at me expectedly.

I asked them their names and they both smiled and uttered not a single
word.  They slowly started undressing and I just sat on the edge of
the bed, shocked.  They were both very beautiful, but I'm a one woman
guy.  I'm on this journey to find Raven, not to screw every female
that opens her legs for me!

The young elven ladies, now stripped nude, stood before me proudly
displaying their ample wares.  It was time to bring this little game
to a halt, but how to do it?  Well here goes the direct approach.

"Ladies I must say you are both extremely lovely, and I appreciate you
keeping me company tonight, but I have a confession to make.  I didn't
realize the nature of this place until we got here and you started
undressing.  I really came here for dinner and rest, not much else I'm
afraid.  Would it offend the two of you very much if we just slept?
I'll pay whatever is customary in the morning, for I do appreciate the
company.  How does that sound?"  That sounded so corny, I thought, as
they looked at each other and grinned.  

I was prepared to simply go to sleep, but the two young ladies had
other ideas.  They lay down together and began kissing passionately,
seemingly not bothered by my presence.  The brunette began kissing her
way down her partner's body, paying ample attention to the large
breasts that seemingly begged for her attention until she found her
way down to the awaiting vagina of her ecstatic lover.  She turned
herself around, until her own sex was presented to the impassioned
red-head.  Soon they were eagerly feasting on each other's cunt and I
was thoroughly enjoying the show unfolding right in front of me.  

My hormones got the better of me and soon I had my cock out,
masturbating furiously.  This had been my sole means of sexual release
until coming to this world, and found it ironic that I felt I couldn't
indulge in any hanky panky just because Raven had claimed me as her
own.  Now however, my lust had overcame my senses and I wasn't
thinking about anything beyond the two beautiful creatures happily
making love to each other right in front of me.

The two ladies were moaning and thrashing about as their orgasms took
hold of their bodies, and they slowly came back to their senses.  The
red-head noticed my frantic masturbation, smiled lewdly, and reached
over and engulfed my erection into her mouth, sucking happily.  The
brunette didn't sit there however, she laid down beside me and she
plunged her tongue into my mouth, kissing me with enthusiasm.

I couldn't take much of the red-head's furious sucking and my climax
burst from me like a volcano erupting, my semen being swallowed as
quickly as it escaped my body.  The brunette kept kissing me through
the whole ordeal and the next thing I knew, my cock was buried in a
warm tightness that I had never felt before, and I broke the kiss to
look down my body and the red-head was pouncing on my cock, facing
away from me, her back arched and her head thrown back as waves of
pleasure assaulted her senses.  The brunette climbed on top of me and
presented her dripping cunt to my idle tongue.  I clamped onto her
protruding clit and eagerly sucked on it, making the brunette crazy as
orgasm after orgasm rocked her body.  I came violently, pumping my
seed into the voluptuous red-head's sopping pussy.  She laid down
beside me, sated, and the brunette took my wilting cock into her
mouth, coaxing life back into it.  After my erection was standing
proudly again, the brunette impailed herself upon it, pistoning
herself up and down for a few minutes and then she curiously stopped,
and she slowly impailed my cock into her butt, whimpering a bit as it
entered her fully,  She sat there, with my cock fully buried in her
bottom for a full minute, and then began slowly moving up and down the
length of my cock, giving me some of the most pleasurable sensations
yet!  Her butt was much tighter than any cunt I had fucked so far, and
it felt unbelievable!  I couldn't take much of this and quickly
climaxed, sending my seed deep into her belly.  We collapsed together
and fell asleep, all three of us totally sated.  In the morning I paid
them both double their normal fee and left the brothel, for that's
what it was, for the open road and a new day's adventure.  It all
sounded glorious at first, and indeed the going was swift and a
pleasant experience, until it started raining.  Boy, did it start
raining.  It was raining buckets and here I was in the middle of
nowhere on a dirt road without so much as an umbrella.  I huddled my
cloak around me and walked swiftly down the road hoping to come upon
the next town or village or even a farm or something.  Anything to get
out of this downpour.  The funny thing was, I distinctly remember
reading my large dictionary-sized spellbook and seeing a whole section
on weather-affecting spells.  Silly me didn't think I'd need any of
them, so I hadn't bothered writing any down into my small spellbook I
had with me.  Good thing it was water-proof!  I checked the ruby and
it pointed to a spot deep in the woods, off of the road.  I shrugged
and entered the woods and mistakenly thought the woods would provide
some protection from the rain, but nope, it didn't.  In fact, it
seemed worse, with the leaves of the trees dripping on me as well as
the rain coming through the branches.  I went in the general direction
that the ruby indicated and the terrain became rougher and rougher.
It seemed pretty obvious that Raven had, at this point, assumed her
tiger form because of the increasingly difficult path she was taking,
if you could call it a path, that is.  The woods soon gave way to a
low hill and I could make out a cave that looked inviting.  I didn't
even mind if I had to share it with a beast as long as I could get out
of this god forsaken rain.  I walked swiftly towards it and was glad
when I stepped inside.  The cave was much bigger than it had looked.
In fact, it looked like the entrance to some mine or something.  I
walked further into the cave and found myself in a large chamber with
tunnels leading off in all directions.  I did indeed look like a mine
of some kind.  I saw various digging tools scattered about on the
ground.  I looked about and heard something coming down one of the
tunnels.  I flipped quickly through my spellbook and made myself
invisible.  It was an odd sensation, looking down and not seeing
myself, but before I could really appreciate it, a small furry fellow
came charging through one of the tunnels, looking tired and scared out
of his mind.  He stopped as he neared my general location and sniffed
around, as if he smelled me.  "W-who's there?  Please help me!  The
witch is after me!"  At that very moment, a leather-clad female came
charging up the tunnel the disheveled guy had come from.  She was
dressed head to toe in form fitting black leather.  In fact, the parts
of her that showed was her face and mid section.  She spied the little
guy and screamed triumphantly, raising the whip she was carrying.  She
didn't see me either, of course.  I braced myself and caught the end
of the whip when it came down and yanked it hard.  She fell hard onto
the ground, emitting a "oomph" on her way down.  That was the good
news, the bad news was my invisibility ended the second I touched the
whip.  Before she could recover, I helped the dwarf up onto his feet
and introduced myself to the two of them.  "My name is Silver, I don't
know what the story is, but I just wanted out of the rain when I came
upon this little fellow.  He seems to think you mean him harm.  Do
you?"  I directed my questions to the lady, who was getting to her
feet and dusting herself off.  She answered me directly.  "I am Fyre,
and this is my dungeon.  All who enter this place must pay my price.
Those who don't pay get whatever fate I see fit to deal them."  I was
still uncertain as to whether she was really a spell-caster ofd some
sort as the dwarf had hinted at.  I decided not to take any chances
and cast the magic barrier that I had memorized.  As soon as I started
casting the spell however, she zapped me and the dwarf with some kind
of wand and the world went black.
