I stood at the door, still trying to understand his cryptic answer. "Who I am?" I asked.

He nodded slowly and said, "You are one of us," He stood there for a moment before asking, "May I come in?"

"Sure," I answered. I don't know why I let him in, as I had no clue as to his identity, but I felt compelled to invite him into my home. As he entered, I gestured at a chair, "Would you care to sit down?"

He slowly sauntered across the room and sat in the chair I had indicated. As I sat, I asked "Would you like anything to drink?"

He spoke, "No, thank you. I think it is time someone explained to you exactly what is happening to you."

I sat down across from him, I felt confused. "How are you not hurt? I hit you in the chest with a ball of fire."

He spoke, "All in time, my friend, all in time. First I should warn you, while no one saw this time, doing things like that can freak people out. If someone were to see you, there is no telling what could happen."

"But how did I do it?" I interrupted. I was confused and upset. I didn't know what was going on and it scared me.

"I will assume you already have found the book," he stated. "It is very important that you don't lose it."

"How did you know about the book?" I exclaimed.

"All of us have one, it is a sort of manual to help guide you. Every one of them is a bit different, but they all say about the same thing from what we can tell." he stated calmly.

I snapped, "Guide me? What do you mean guide me? Who are you? What are you talking about?"

"Calm down. I said I would explain, just give me a minute," he stated calmly. "The book will guide you as you master... Your skill," he started. "I didn't want to flat out say this, because I didn't think you'd believe me, but since you are so eager to find out about it, and you did hit me with a fireball... Well, pretty much, you've got magic."

I stared at him, a look of intense confusion on my face, "What?"

"I said you've got magic," he answered. "Don't worry though, you're not alone. There are quite a few of us, actually."

He got up and stretched, "I think we should continue this in the morning, it's getting late, and you have a lot to think about."

I looked over at the clock on my wall, it read one in the morning.

He walked towards the door, "I will be back around two in the afternoon. I will explain the rest then."

He opened the door and slowly exited, "I recommend you try to read a bit of that book before then, it doesn't do too much explaining, but it will teach you how to keep it under control." He closed the door softly behind him.

I stood up and walked to the kitchen, I suddenly found myself to be starving. I looked around my cabinets and all I could find was a package of ramen. I started some water boiling, and walked over to the table. I sat down and pulled the book in front of me and opened it to the first page.

I suddenly felt a vibration in my pocket. I reached in and pulled out my phone, Jessie was calling me. I answers the call, "This isn't a good time, Jessie "Okay, call me when you can beautiful," he responded.

I hit "End Call" and remembered the ramen. At this point the water was boiling, so I added the noodles and waited. I stirred in the flavor packet into the water and poured it into a large bowl.

I walked back to the table with the ramen and began to read while I ate. I found I could not understand enough of the words to properly read the book, so I gave up on reading the book, finished the ramen and went to bed.
