Chapter 1:
On a stormy night of October 30th, Xavier (a young boy aged of 13), Sarah (a little girl aged of 12) and Ace (German shepherd dog) were staring out the window of there house, wishing the storm would stop before Halloween.
<<I hope this all clears up before tomorrow; I really want to go trick or treating! >>. <<Me too Sarah, I wish there would be something we could do to stop it>> But there was something they could do. Soon after, Ace helped them find the answer.
<< Where’s Ace going kids? >> Asked there mom. << Ace come back! >> Yelled the too kids. The kids found Ace in the garage. He had a small black book in his mouth. SPELLS was in scripted on its front. <<Cool! >> . <<What is it? >> <<I think it’s a…… a spell book? >>
Inside was all sorts of strange writings and sentences like; “Naïrd-Dracoth, Animo-Xcelta, Estanoby-Encomplitow”..... <<Try one! >>. <<Ok, this one looks convincing “Aura-Vantaa!”>> Suddenly, a small tornado was flying around in the garage! << Stop! >> Shouted Sarah. The tornado stopped….
<< That... was... Awesome! >> said Xavier all surprised! <<What was all that noise and screaming, kids??>> asked there dad while coming in his own garage. << NNNNOTHINGG!!! >> yelled Xavier. <<Xavier!?!?>> whispered Sarah to her bother while discretely hitting him. << Stop screaming and come to dinner!!>> said his father while mumbling along the way back to the kitchen.
<< That was close! Why did you yell like that? >> said Sarah. << I’m sorry... I’m not good under pressure...>> Said Xavier while turning pitch red...
After dinner, Ace was always looking out the window for no reason. << Why do you keep on looking out the window??? You can only see the rain pelting down. >> Wondered Sarah. << I think he wants the rain to stop for him to play outside. >> Thought Xavier.
<< Do you think Ace has something to do with the spell book? He was the one who brought it to us in the first place... What do you think it means? Are we special or something?? What do you think Xavier? >> << I think your asking to many questions. Maybe Ace just dug up the book before it started raining. >>
Chapter 2:
In the windy night, Sarah suddenly woke up. While carefully descending the staircase near her room, she found Ace hovering thru the living room! << Hi Sarah! >>
<< Aaah! >>She screamed while seeing her brother hovering as well! <<Shut!! Don’t wake up mom and dad you sreardy cat!>> said Xavier mockingly. << How are you to doing that???>> << I thought I would give a couple of spells a try. >> He said while coming back down to the living room floor.
<< I used the spell “corpora levitigth”! >> <<You shouldn’t play with those spells Xavier. They could be dangerous for all we know!!>> He knew his sister was right, they didn’t know what the spells could do...
<<Kids?? What are doing up this late?!?! Tomorrow is Halloween so get some rest if you want to trick or treat! >> Madly said their father.
When their dad thought the kids weir asleep, Sarah and Xavier were running thru the pages of the book. << This time, we have to find a spell that could make it stop raining! >> << This one looks good. >> On the page that Xavier was reading, there was an inscription saying “Sunny-day charm”. << I’ll do it! >> said Sarah with a promising look. “Mira Giro Sunmirirola Flacon!” And the rain suddenly stopped.........
<< It Worked!!!!!!! >> Happily yelled the two kids!! << I thought your father told you two to go to sleep! >> << Sorry mom...>> they responded. Ace followed them to their room and slap on the bedroom carpet.
In the morning, Ace woke up the kids by giving them both a big slobbery lick in the face. << Kids!!! It’s Halloween!!>> << You should start by thinking of the costume you can weir for tonight. There is a big chest filled with costumes in the attic, you two should check it out. >> <<Ok. Thanks mom, thanks dad. >> They said while leaving for the attic.
The Kids had an unexpected surprise when they opened the costume chest.
Black smoke filled the room as the kids were pulled into the chest!
When the kids opened their eyes, they were in a strange town! <<Where are we!!>> said Sarah panicked. <<You’re in ghost-town silly!!>> said a big funny looking man. <<Are we dead???>> asked Xavier to the dull stranger.<< No, but you might have went thru a secret portal somewhere...Wait, only ghosts and magical beings can go thru! You two don’t look like wizards...>> <we have a spell book but were not wizards.>> said Sarah with a grin on her face. <<Your not afraid of me??>> asked the man. <<No, why??>> asked Xavier without a clue <<I’m a ghost!!>> said the man with a big voice.
<<So??>> said Xavier, careless. <<We’ve seen a lot of weird things lately. No offence! >> added Sarah.
<<Let me show you around! My name is Lexorius, but you can just call me Lex! >>
Chapter 3
<< As I said before, this is “Ghost-Town”. It’s the most mysterious place in the magical realm! Some ghosts are not completely dead when they come here; they only leave their suffering bodies. >> << Don’t you do anything to help them??>> asked the little girl. << We can’t, even if we want to... there a 3 rules in “Ghost-Town”; 1- Never speak to anyone outside the town. 2-Never help anyone you didn’t know when you were alive. 3-Never leave the town without permission of the mayor. >>
<<Who’s the mayor? >> asked Xavier. <<His name is “Symore Rethin” he was the man who made this town. >> <<Is he nice? >>
<<Let’s just say you don’t want to get on his bad side...>>replied the ghost. <<is he...You know...Dead? >> Asked Xavier in intrigue. <<No, he is a reaper. >> <<like the grim reaper?>> said Sarah. << Yes, he is alive to protect the town, but he is to leave the town, is abilities will be no more then a regular ghost. >>Lex pointed at the statue that was in the middle of town square. The statue was a reproduction of Symore and, at his feet, was in scripted the three rules of ghost-town, the rights of the ghosts and visitors and the powers of the grim. The mayor grim was tall and very slim. He wore a black and purple cloak that let his face in the shadows. His hands where almost to the bone and his fingers where long and pointy. In is right hand, he held a sword like object the curled up his arm like iron vines. <<what’s that thing on his arm Xavier asked. << That is the grim’s most powerful weapon. It might look like an ordinary sword but it can also control the life cycle. >> The kids looked confused so the ghost decided to continue his explanation. << It can cure the dead and kill the living. Only the grim has the power to use it properly. In the hands of a mortal or any other living thing, “The Ledson Blade” will backfire and paralyse them for life. It can also destroy the dead. The grim can never take it off as long as he is living. The iron vines prevent the blade from falling into the wrong hands. >> <<where could we find the mayor? I think he can help us figure out why the spell book appeared in the mortal world and why are costume chest happened to be a portal to ghost-town. We where brought here for a reason! >> said Sarah in a smart and certain look. She knew what she was talking about and the other two agreed. They had to get to the mayors mansion. It was located on the top of the most dangerous place in ghost-town; Shadow Mountains.
Chapter 4
The shadow mountains where the highest mountains in the magical realm. Many various creatures lived there. More where bad then good. Only few beings made it to the mansion alive. Symore Rethin chose that location to keep intruders away and he had the best view of the town and near by roads. << We’ll never make it up there!>> Said Sarah panicked. << If you let me, I could try a spell to help us get up there faster! >> Xavier asked. His sister gave him a nod. Scrolling thru the small spell book ace gave them, Lex pointed out a warp spell, and it made portals to places you really wanted to go. <<Ecto plaina “grim’s mansion”>> the wind lifted them for a second as they disappeared in thin cloud of purple dust.
When the cloud vanished, they where at the mayors house! <<Where here! Now let’s go see Symore! >>Lex said, amazed that the spell worked!
When Xavier knocked on the giant door full of ancient symbols, the mayor, in his cloak, opened the door. He looked exactly like the statue and he was holding the ledson blade. <<Welcome Xavier, Sarah and Lexorius. What brings you here? The book? The portal or maybe the blade perhaps?
<<How do you know are names and how do you know what we want? >> asked the girl. << Mr. Mayor is also a psychic...>> said Lex. << I only have visions of people in need... So! What can I do for you? >> He replied. << Something or someone brought us here! Why? >> Said the twelve year old know it all. << I’ve been watching you for a while in the mortal realm, I need your help! >> Surprised that it was the grim, Xavier asked. << How where you watching us? You can’t leave town! >> <<I had a little help...>> Grim opened the door wider to let out a German shepherded dog. << ACE!?!?>> Said the two kids confused. << I’m the one who led him to you. The day you found him alone in your town park, it was all a set up! The spell book came from me, he delivered it. He is also the one who opened a portal from inside the chest. He is not a real dog...>> after taking off his cloak, Symore Rethin waved the robe over Ace, which transformed him into a magical creature!! He was three feet long and two feet high! He looked like a tapir with an elephant trunk, an ox tail and tiger paws! His body was covered with black fur with yellow spots. << What did you do to him! >> Asked Xavier worried. << Nothing, this is his real form. He is a magical creature know to be shy and eat nightmares. His is a Baku somnicibus or just Baku for short. >> said Lex. << How do you know that? >> Asked Sarah. <<Lexorius works for me, he is also a grim. >> Said the mayor. << He doesn’t look like a grim! >> Said Xavier. << That’s because he dose not hold the ledson blade. With out it, he looks like a ghost but still was the grim’s powers. << Come with me, I have to show you what will happen to the human world if we don’t hurry. Magical beings are planning to take over the mortals, make them their slaves. >> Said Symore with a serious look. Sarah and her brother didn’t know what to think. It was Halloween morning, they had a spell book, and they were in a ghost-town, what was going on!!??!!??
Chapter 5
<<Ace is a monster??>> wondered Sarah. << No, he’s your protector. >> relied the grim. << I knew who you where before Lex brought you here. >> He added. << You work for him to? >> asked Xavier to the ghost. <<Yes...>> he said while looking at is feet, embarrassed that he didn’t tell them before. << Who? Who told you who we where to start spying on us? >> asked Sarah as she turned to the mayor. <<...you’re...parents...>> <<WHAT!?!?>> They said in harmony. Their parents! Why their parents? Millions of questions raced thru the children’s minds. <<Why? >> She asked. << When they where young, they came into the magical realm and met me. They helped me capture wild ghosts. I had an agreement that when they had children, they will be the next protectors of the light. That is you! >> <<Why would we help you? We don’t even know you? How do we know YOU’RE the good one????>> Said Sarah
<<Let’s go Sarah! >> said Xavier while pulling her arm. When The young girl took out the spell book the grim jumped and tried to take it from them! <<Ecto plaina, Home! >> Before the mayor or even the ghost had time to catch the kids, Sarah had already cast the portal spell to the mortal realm, home.
<<Are we here? >> asked the boy, afraid to look. <<Where back Xavier!!!!!>> screamed his sister happy to be safe, or so they thought. << Mom? Dad? Where are you? >> She asked. Xavier decided to go look after Sarah agreed to stay put. Running back upstairs two minutes after, he looked terrified << What’s wrong? What did you see? >> <<Nothing! There not here!!!!>>
