Say the Magic Words

Howdy, howdy everyone. Remember that cute girl I talked about in previous posts? We're dating <3. I got the idea for today's story from her love of linguistic studies(she's smart, one of the things that makes her so hot.) so this story is actually inspired by her. I hope everyone likes it!

Say the Magic Words

        A young woman sat in the middle of the library, her eyes digging into an old book. The book was written in a magic language. Over the centuries of its existence it has been called both holy and evil. In some ages it was spoken in churches and others only in the shadows. The magic language could move both mountains and hearts. She knew much of the magic language, she could turns things into both fire and dust using only words. With a chant she could summon angels from above, but with different chant she could summon demons from below. Each word had magic in it. An accent on a vowel could change whether the word swapped souls between bodies or turned night into day.

        She studied the language and knew it better than anything else. The words danced through her dreams and dispelled her nightmares. She spoke more in the magical language than her own native one. She surpassed her mentors and they looked at her with both envy and pride. When she wrote it on paper her hand moved like an artist painting.

        But she read the language so much it became more real than the rooms around her. During the day the clouds looked like the letters of the language. The rain hitting the windows sounded to her like syllables found in the magic language.

        Someone addressed her while she was reading. She looked up at them. She didn't understand what the person was saying. The language she grew up listening to became a strange gibberish to her. She tried to find meaning in the words but she could only understand words in the magical language. After a few minutes the person left with a confused look on their face. The woman felt her tongue, wondering where all the words in her first language went. After a moment her eyes trailed back to the book and she began reading the magic words again.
