lies the object, dormant and safe,
hidden from those who would use it for evil.
It bides its time
knowing no one can resist the book
and its gateway to Magic.
No one any longer believes in Magic.
Science and reality have been set in stone
ever since the crusaders stole the book
and put it somewhere safe.
It has gone unpracticed for the longest time
in order to shield the world from evil.
The misconceptions that it was evil
forever doomed sweet Magic,
erased it from time,
and locked it in stone.
Alive and alone but "safe",
the magic pined away in the book.
How it wished to be free from the pages of the book!
It could not decide between good or evil;
to love or hate the humans that tried to keep it safe.
Ever brooding was Magic,
"Do I love or have a heart of stone?
Should I forgive this loss of time?"
After years of endless time
a child stumbled across the book
in its prison amongst the walls foundation stone.
The boy knew nothing of evil,
nor conflict in the heart of Magic
and was not to know that it was unsafe.
Not a soul in the world was safe.
Humans would not fare so well this time.
"Revenge!" cackled Magic,
"Revenge for the Magic of the Book!
Now, I truly am evil,
after so many years lost in the stone."
Upon hearing Magic the boy closed the book.
To keep the world safe a second time
from Magic's evil he must trap it once again in stone.
