"Yes please Katy I need to talk to you before Conan arrives" Kelly responded quickly. "I called you here today Katy because of your understanding of ancient runes, I want to know if you can translate some of the stuff in the symbol please I need this... If you have anything to tell me go ahead I will hear you if no please stay I will need you next..."

"Transmutation circle?" Ray yelled before Kelly could open her mouth. "What is it? I mean I never heard of it before... Wait Kelly what if it had something to do with what we knew yesterday? I mean it's an old kind and forbidden kind of magic, just like the one in the story" Ray said after calming down.

Kelly was astonished by Katy's meaning of the symbol, she never heard of something that has to do with transmutation. Suddenly, Ray screamed. It's good that I casted the muffliato spell before this meeting Kelly thought as she looked at Ray. He has a point she thought to herself, I mean it is an old and forbidden type of magic maybe Conan can help her out here.
She got up and moved towards the tent's flap and pulled it, Conan was next to the tent, she looked at him and invited him in, before disappearing again inside her yellow and warm tent.

Steven, who hadn't really piped up on the way there, was sat on the ground, staring lazily up at the sky. He vaguely noticed that there was a small gathering of people in the tent behind him. He reached into his jacket pocket, hoping to find a cigarette, only to remember that he had left them behind.

Bloody hell.

He yawned, and stood up, walking over to the tent, wondering if he could be any help.

"Can I come in?" he asked.

As Conan looked at the circle and listened to the legend, something seemed to click in his brain. For a moment, he had no idea why it sounded familiar. There had to be something, after all he had read a lot of history books. Then, it hit him. He opened his mouth in a perfect, round "o" and looked up.
"I think I've remembered something. I have to get something from my tent." he answered. Without waiting for a reply, he stood up, swept past Steven who was just opening the tent flap, and walked to his tent. Opening his pack, he looked around, gave up, and accioed the book he needed out of his bag. He had enlarged the bag and made it extra light, but he could never seem to find anything...
The book was titled . It was an extremely old book that he generally held no stock in. In fact, he had only read it once because it was so terrible. Not really knowing what this quest would need, he packed all of his books just in case. Now, he was glad of his forethought. He opened the book to the table of contents and looked for the chapter on the beginnings of magic. Here it was: Anciente Magick. He read a paragraph on how the fifth man (who hadn't just died as he had originally thought) went on to create a power more evil than anything the youngest man (who had asked for the Dark Arts) could do. He tried to use it to gain revenge on his fellows, but they somehow turned it against him and were able to kill him. They then contained the power into an object and hid the object from sight.
He had already started to run back towards the tent after reading the last sentence. Getting back inside, he showed them the book, breathless.
"It says," he panted, "that the fifth man I told you about," -pant- "created a power," -pant- "more evil than the youngest man." -pant- "They managed to kill him, but transferred the power to an object. I have no idea what this object may be, though, but probably something strong, and something they had on them at the time. It really could be anything from a stone to a feather to a cloak. I, personally think it might be a cloak. My grandmother used to tell me stories of a cursed cloak, but that could be made-up. I've never heard any stories of that kind since. Have any of you heard of a cursed object?" he asked. Without waiting for a reply, he began to look at the symbol that was supposedly the transmutation circle. He had never heard of it, which was strange.
"Perhaps-" he thought out loud. "Perhaps it is directions of some sort. Perhaps it is the directions for a spell. It could be either the way to the four put the power into the object, or maybe it is the way to destroy the object. I have never seen or heard of such transmutation circle, so I'm not sure. It could be, also, directions for how to find the object. If it was made by the four, then, it is probably outdated. I'm sure it has been hidden more than once. Well, I really don't know. I would need to be able to see it better." He sat down, exhausted, and sighed.

OOC: I hope this is alright. If not, I shall edit. Sorry I haven't been on, I've been busy with school just starting again.

Delete...

Kelly petrified when she heard what Kami had explained a power more powerful than the dark arts and only one object to stop it or triger it. This what her boss wanted her to find a much more powerful tool for magic, or was it for someone else someone more powerful.
"Then, we know have a clear idea on what happened in the past. Magic was born but a man with envy and revenge was able to twist it. And there was a fight and the power was trapped inside an object that we don't know what it looks like. We know that this transmutation circle has to do something with all this story... But we don't know what exactly.
But I think I have an idea, when we search for treasures we usually try to find something that will point us to them, well in our case there is a million possibilties because the treasure itself isn't definitif, I mean as Katy said there is a lot of object that have been cursed and what we are searching for is probably the first thing to ever been cursed or influenced by magic. And there is a lot of legends about objects with great power. But here what really helped me detemine the issue. You see I examined the runes on the transmutation circle and also I didn't understand it all... But I understand now enough after you cleared some stuff Kami and Katy.
Here what I understood, You see the six signs on the outer most part of the circle, they each is a key to unlock something. Now look at the circle as a muggle clock, the sign that took the place of number twelve, means Life, the one in the opposite side, that took the number six on the clock, speaks of Death. Now those two signs are connected by a straight line that means that they are fully connected, meaning Life and Death, in other word sacrifice. We can notice that the symbol life is connected to two other signs, the one in the place of the number two means power, the other one I couldn't understand as for all the other signs as well... But from those three signs I can deduce that the circle needs a sacrifice of somehow.
Now lets skip all of the signs in the outer most cirlce and concentrate on the signs in the middle. They are not runes and nothing I can think of... But look at how they are all connected but what you probably missed is that they aren't connected just to explain a bond between them but also to protect the smaller inner circle... Now Im not an expert on the subject of magic and spells but I think that the middle circle works as the wand in magic, from it magic is produced..." Kelly suddenly stopped, she had understood something else. But it can't be you idiot... Can it? she thought to herself.
"Ray I need you to form two party of five for tomorrow, we are going to start looking for that object now if you can leave me I will appreciated I'm tired and I need to rest." Kelly quickly said as she headed towards her bed. Can it be? Can it? Kelly thought again as fear took over her.
She sat on her bed looking at her friends and team as they closed the flaps of her tent behind them.
But if it was, Jean must have... Jean must have... What did you hide from me Jean? What did you hide? She thought deeply sitting alone in her tent looking at the little tea cup she was drinking earlier in the morning. What was it that you discovered and didn't tell me? She tought again and the tea cup explode. She grapped her wand and muttering "reparo!" the cup was back as it was before. Kelly closed her eyes and feel on her bed, sleepy and tired, in the end what she was thinking of can be her end as it was for Jean?!

OCC: My hands are hurting me... I edited it like twelve times

Ray was astonished but what was revealed, his grandmother didn't mistake about the myth there was a dark part to the birth of magic, and what about that transmutation circle was it the weapon the fifth man had built or was it only the tool the four other stopped him with? Questions were raising in Ray's head and he needed to think.
"Steven please come with" Ray said as he got out of the tent. "I need you to choose five people... I'm putting you in charge of group B... Tomorrow morning you will go and explore with them and at night we go back here to rest... I will allow apparation from inside and outside the camp but I will submit it to the fidelius spell... I will give you and only you the location of the camp and you will choose someone from your team and reveal the secret to him so that if you were injured, they would escape... When returning to the camp you will use escort apparation... You have till tomorrow to give me a list of the people you chose... Im taking Beck and Kelly with me..." Ray ended as he moved towards Bianca.
"Hey Hun, sorry you couldn't be in the meeting... But you know how those things work" Ray said apologising and placing a little kiss on Bianca's chicks.
"No everything was fine... Im just tired.. Thanks for the message" Ray said as he felt all his pain go away.

"Great idea!!"
Ray smiled when Bianca mentioned that she felt left in the dark about what was happening on this expidition.
"Look Honey, I promise you, you will soon know everything... Kelly will hold a meeting tomorrow and she will explain everything... Don't worry we are doing this to protect you... I'm assigning now Aurors to guard Kami's and Katy's tent... Do you know that now they are in a very big danger if anyone finds out about what is happening? Do you?" Ray asked seriously. "But if you insist on knowing wait till tomorrow... Kelly will kill me if she figures out that I told you a thing." Ray said in an amusing tone.

A magic more powerful than the Dark Arts. What could it be?

Steve nodded at Ray as he told him the plan. But now, he had to choose a team of five from a group of people he barely even knew? That was going to be difficult, considering he had know idea of the strengths and weaknesses. Ah well, have to go on instinct. It had been what he did for a good few years now.
