As the bremin 4 gathered all their strength to open the chest that had appeared once they each retracted their respected elemental essence from this space .
They didn't have any idea what would be inside this black and cold chest when they opened it . But they would have been warned by the talisman that Felix always had with him.
It glows when there are any threats or dangers nearby.
With a loud creak they were finally able to open the chest to retrieve what they were looking for.
Suddenly each of them felt a chilling cold in the air ,their breaths were visible as they each took a step back from the chest they had just opened.
What is happening Sam mumble as he slowly fell to the floor along with the others.
It was as though their bodies were shutting down their minds started to get foogy as they couldn't make out anything from the darkness the room had gradually become.
Suddenly Andy noticed that Felix pocket was glowing green,he quickly called this to his attention.
Fe lix the talisman it's glowing as he fully laid back on the floor along with the others.
Felix while on the ground guickly reached into his pocket to bring out the talisman that was glowing with a strange green light.
Jake suddenly remembered and said with great difficulty.
We were supposed to restore the elemental essence back that's why this place is rejecting us.
The others agreed with what Jakehad said as they suddenly glowed with the colors that represented their individual elements the darkness that enveloped the room gradually subsided as the light began to shine once again.
Each took a few moments to orient themselves from the near death experience they just had.
As the darkness seemed to slowly recreed d it appeared to culmilate towards the chest they 4 boys had just opened .
Felix who was the last to stand on his quickly felt for the talisman to see if there was any dangers with this bizzare scene.
As the darkness slowly shrank into the chest
A luminous green glow began to radiate from it the air that was just released was sucked bir by bit lifting up what looked like a staff .
A black staff with a crystal on top that resembled a still black hole .
As it reached a height on the air . Felix and the others looked up to where the strange staff had floated up to .
In the midst of this silence Andi who had a vague understanding of what was going on stepped forward.
He told me this would happen.
As he said those words the other boys glared at his with a look of shock.
Sam blurted out what and youre just telling us now , what if it was dangerous.
Andy refuted Sam's remark no it's no bear said it was a very powerful Artifact that he had lost .
Sam replied pissed off you should told us remember last time when u didn't tell us something u got trapped in the space between worlds by Alice .
Andi spoke bear would never do anything to harm me I'm his friend and friends don't hurt each other.
Really when you were trapped there with him he never wanted to let you leave the place and now you trust him so easily dude I thought you were the smart one .
Jake unable to bear the ranting of. Sam and Andi set his gaze towards Felix who was quietly attuning the talisman to detect any further danger on this mission.
Jake then said to the rambling two.
Guys relax everything is fine now see.
As he let them looked around the place that was once suffocating was fully normal again all the darkness had vanished.
He continued
don't get too worked up over this. Bear is a pretty decent guy I don't think he meant any harm.
After saying that he turned to Sam and said don't forget he helped us to restore our elemental abilities and even sent someone to teach us how to master them .
Felix was listening to the argument and had no interest in that but he kept glancing at the talisman which had always alerted them when there was any threats around them.
He appeared too cautious he had already made mistakes in the past and was determined to not let any further problems occur.
Jake who was the ever steady spoked in a hoarsed voice drawing the attention of everyone.
So how are we gonna retrieve that artifact.
Felix retracted his gaze from the talisman and joined the rest as the looked up at the staff that hovered above them .
At first glance they all knew that it was a powerful Artifact that could pose danger if not handled properly, it was made certain by what happened due to the absorbed elemental essence it had taken as the darkness subsided.
I'll get it Sam said as he generated wind current to propell himself upward so he could easily grab the staff
As he was about to reached it darkness suddenly appeared and covered the staff it formed a dome of darkness that created a force that pulled Sam backwards down to the ground.
He managed to stabilize himself and fell slowly to the ground.
When he shows touched the ground the dome of darkness that had suddenly covered the staff reduced until it disappeared completely.
As Sam too small measured breaths the others stared at him with a comdensending look.
Sam suddenly broke the silence and said with a hint of embarrassment.
Well do you have any better ideas.
He said this specifically to Felix since he was the one that made most of the plans in the group and was well knowledgeable in the realm of magic.
Felix replied I think we should hear what Andi has to say .
Jake, Sam and Felix then turned towards Andi the one who was friends with the one who sent them on this mission.
Andi looked at them for moment before saying.
We have to use ritualistic magic In order for the staff to come to us.
Before the others could voice out their concerns for the dangers .
Andi continued
We also have to use elemental magic to guide it towards us and store it inside a pocket dimension.
The others face turned confused when they heard the phrase pocket dimension, although they've all done dimensional travel none of them had any or knew the means to create one even Felix didn't know of such spells.
Seeing their confusion Andi removed his bag from his bag and settled it on the ground, the others stared as he unzipped it and pulled out a small metal box carved with symbols and runes they couldn't decipher.
In here it's connected to a pocket dimension, it doesn't lead to the space between worlds but it can be sealed in hear and plus it easier to carry .
The others kept staring at him even Felix didn't the one that's studied magic couldn't even have heard of such an artifact have much less seen it before.
Felix said with curiosity so how does it work is there an incantation we need to say.
While Jake and Sam kept watch of their surroundings they wouldn't want any strange creatures or insects to sneak towards them and also they couldn't pay too much attention for magic.
After saying something in hush whisper to Felix .
Andi suddenly said ok guys let's do this .
As they slowly formed a circle and began to summon their respective essence to draw the artifact closer towards them.
