Chapter 199: Ravenclaw manor(2)

The first door lead to a room chalk full of thousand year old enchantment equipment and unfinished pieces left lying on the workbench. "Mothers enchanting room." Helena said startling Nick slightly as he hadn't heard her sneak up on him thanks to her being in her ghostly form. "She used to get so upset when I'd go in here without permission as a child." she said with a smile smile. "She must not have returned here before the illness took her or she never would have left these here." she said floating over to the unfinished pieces on the workbench.-

"What even was this illness since I find it hard to believe that none of the founder could save her from it?" Nick asked curiously. According to aunt Helga it was something called mana depravation that she got after reaching a new level of magic thanks to one of her experiments." Helena said calmly and Nick froze in place as he had seen that name show up recently on another very powerful thing. The golden apple tree had that very same condition and Nick couldn't help but start to form a theory about how Helena got it as well.-

Somehow Rowena Ravenclaw must have learned how to reach the level beyond the one the founders were at and her ascended body simply couldn't draw enough magic energy or mana from the surroundings eventually causing her death. This would also explain why nothing being above a certain level of strength is still alive today like the gods as there simply isn't enough mana to support their existences. This reminded Nick of what the opening passage of the book written by Chronos said about the planet recovering. 'He must have been referring to the mana concentrations in the world , but I can't tell if he meant actually soon or in like two hundred years since he probably knows about my immortality.' Nick thought frustrated.-

"Ah yes , the gardens. This was where we kept all of our living plants and magical creatures during the time the estate was in use." Helena said as Nick found himself in a huge glass enclosure that was obviously the work of space expansion enchantments. Most of the area was barren and lifeless however as the magical plants and animals that could had already escaped and taken over the island while the rest likely starved to death within here. He knew this because of the crumbling bones that littered a few places as he walked through the huge room.
