From the author herself :
This is a special chapter also known as VIP chapters , in the book of black magic the special chapters are quite unique .
A special chapter is a funny, stupid, without logic chapter . The main point is not to continue the story ,but instead it could be a brief into the future or a past mission of ELX or any other character but the main focus is just fun .
Some special chapters are just fictional meaning they're not part of the story whether future, present or past .While others are part of the story, it could be an unheard past , making some special chapters important but at the end of each special chapter I will personally inform you if it's part of the story or not ( might not) .There are other features of special chapters so I'll explain on the way.
So Please Enjoy.

"I wonder if it's safe to drink".Sally turned to the group and asked
Note : Currently only Sally , Taylia and Everling were home
"I have no idea , after all it's written in a rather strange language".
Everling answered her amidst yawns.
"I really, really want to drink it ".
Taylia said with her eyes sparkling.
"But what if it's harmful to drink after all we can't read it". Everling said again.
"Yeah yeah I know that". Taylia sighed.
Boom
A loud noise was heard behind Sally.
They turned and saw another Sally.
"What the, two Sally's". Taylia was incredibly shocked as she spoke.
"Greetings friends, I am Sally but from the future".
"What , from the future!!".They chorised shocked.
"Yes, that is correct ".Sally two bowed.
"Oh my goodness do you guys know what that means".Sally stared at they.
"Girl, it looks like you read my mind ". Everling smiled.
"That means that if we drink this , we wouldn't die". Sally said.
"Hooray!!". They exclaimed.
"What!,no that's exactly what brought me here".
"Shhh say no more ".Sally instantly poured out drinks for them .
"Let's make a toast".Everling said and continued
"To drinking this weird wine". They clapped.
"To sitting here, and being able to drink this 'straight out of a horror movie wine' which we don't even know it's origin , let's toast to new beginnings and trying of weird stuffs".They all clapped.
"You guys aren't listening to me". The future Sally said .
"Shhh, ". Sally said and they gupped down the drink.
"Don't!!!".The future Sally screamed.
"What happened, why are you yelling". Everling asked.
"Nothing bad's gonna happen, right ". Taylia asked a little scared.
"Nah relax, nothing's gonna happen, if something did happen, future me wouldn't be here". Sally reassured her and she nodded.
"No you dimwits , I'm only from ten minutes into the future ".
"Meaning?". Sally asked.
"It means that I'm here to warn you not to drink it or else you die".
'Sighs" That's a relief, almost thought you wamted to say something bad,.... Wait !!! Did you just say die!!!!!, as in unalived". The three began to panic.
An hour ago,.
"I'm feeling so bored and the guys won't be back for another 3 hours".Taylia sighed.
"I have an idea , why don't we go swimming".Everling suggested.
"That's a brilliant idea!".Sally said.
Currently ELX were staying at a rented apartment close to a beach.
"Let's go". Sally said when they were through wearing their bikinis.
Fifteen minutes into the swimming, Sally came across a weird box.
"Guys , check this out". Sally called their attention to the box.
"When I was diving in , my leg hit something and it turned out to be a weird looking box".
"Sweetheart dear , that's not a box , it's a chest". Everling explained.
"But I don't see any hearts". Sally blurted.
Taylia started laughing.
"You idiot , she's not talking about a regular chest , she's talking about those chest which pirates hide treasures".
"Ohh". Sally scratched the back of her head feeling very embarrassed.
" Turns out it's already open". Everling said as she tried to open it .
A glowing light came out of it and after it subsided, they saw a bottle.
"What's that?" . Taylia asked.
"Looks like a bottle". Everling replied .
"Could it be alcohol?".Sally questioned.
"But why will anyone hide a drink". Sally answered her question.
"I think we should keep it till Alouis comes , I'm sure he'll know something about it".
They all nodded at Everlings suggestion and went back inside.
Twenty minutes later
"Sally what are you doing!". Taylia shouted at Sally as she opened the bottle.
"Don't worry I wouldn't drink it".
"That doesn't answer my question".
" I just want to sniff it , to know if it's poison". Taylia nodded.
As soon as Sally opened the bottle, the whole room was filled with an intoxicatingly pleasant scent.
"Wow, it's scents just like wine!". Everling exclaimed.
"It's been so long since I tasted wine". Sally and Everling stared at the bottle in Sally's hand.
"No, no, no". Taylia grabbed the bottle from her and kept it on the table.
"We wait for Alouis". She strongly opposed.
"Sighs'.
"Fine then".Sally sighed.
An hour later
"So do you mean we're going to die!!". Taylia panicked.
"You're already dead ".
"What!".
Suddenly, they fell down.
.... . ... .... .... ..... ... . .. ... ..
"Where are we". Sally stared at their surroundings.
"Welcome to the underworld".
"Hah!!, Who said that". Taylia screamed.
"Behind you ". They turned around and saw a skeleton.
"What the ...fuck". Sally cursed.
They were on top a destroyed skyscraper.
Beneath them was a large tormented land. There were many weird creatures moving about , and a lot of destroyed places, with out adding the red sky and some gigantic entities.
"Where are we". Sally said slowly .
"Like I said earlier, this is the underworld, where your soul is taking to, after you die". The skeleton explained .
"That means we're actually dead". Sally muttered under her breath.
"So os there no way to get back to the liv....
"Yes there is , ". The skeleton interrupted.
They heaved a sigh of relief.
"Which is?". Sally asked .
Note : future Sally vanished
"Well, only the king of the underworld knows".
"Any way we can meet him ..or her.. or whatever it is ". Everling had a hard time making up it's gender.
"Yes he's currently in his castle".
"I can take you there if you want". It offered.
"We'll be highly grateful ". Everling replied courteously .
With just a clap , a gigantic creature with wings looking like a dragon appeared and they got on its back .
Arriving at the palace ,they were taken to a room with a throne of bones.
"Greetings lord Fargius ". The skeleton bowed , they followed it's steps and also bowed .
"So what brings you here ".
"They wish to return to the human world".
"Well mortals , if you wish to return, you must accomplish a single feat".
"So it's actually possible ". They heaved a sigh of relief.
" Sir . I mean your Lordship....
Sally and Taylia laughed at the words 'your lordship '.
With just a glare from the skeleton, they both sealed their lips.
" Your Lordship please what is this way". Everling asked .
"You need to ... Defeat me in ....a game of ....Chess ". The 'Lordship' spoke slowly in order to create suspense.
"Chess!". Sally could no longer hold her laughter.
"Yes a game of chess , why are you laughing, mortal girl".
"Well sir sorry lord , you do know if we win we get to leave". He nodded
"I know ".
"Okay then when do we get started?". Sally asked.
"Right now, if you are ready ". The king of the underworld said .
"We're ready ". Everling replied on behalf of the others.
" Pay attention as I explain it, the three of you are going to pass through what I call 'a death race', if you're able to beat three of my servants you win".
"Old dude , that's not chess". Sally spoke everyone's mind.
"Wow such guts , to call me an old man , Well then I guess I'll just let you go".
"Really , sir you mean it!". Everling asked shocked.
The king of the underworld nodded and opened a portal.
"Try not to die too early, ". The skeleton advised.
"Agreed ". Sally said , they thanked the skeleton and left .
"Boss why did you spare them?". The skeleton Zach asked .
"The underworld is getting too full, just decided to spare them". The king spoke but this time in a younger voice and transformed into a human form .
"Do you believe that". He asked with a playful grin.
"Whatever you say, boss". Zach replied.
... .. .. . .. .. .. ... .. .... .. .. .. ..... ..... .. . ...
Instantly the girls got back .
"We're actually back ".
"Wow!!". They jumped up and celebrated.
They paused as they heard a knock on the door.
"Welcome". They greeted the guys as they walked in.
"Gosh, that was so stressful ". Varian said and retired on a couch looking totally exhausted.
"Stop being a lazy child". Sally said
"You didn't follow us on the mission so you have no idea how it went, but why didn't you three follow us on the mission?". Alouis asked shocked that they didn't even know that the girls didn't follow them.
"Well you guys left before we could even get ready so we just stayed behind". Everling explained.
"But still seeing you beautiful face Taylia would have given me the motivation I needed". Lucian said and Taylia blushed.
The others just stared at them, disgusted by their 'open romance'.
"So how did you day go ". Varian asked.
"You won't believe it". Everling said and continued
" We saw this strange chest in it was a bottle filled with who knows what after drinking it we died and was taken to the underworld where we saw the king but he wore a mask after a while and some talking he brought us back". The boys just stared at them like you stare at insane people.
"You forgot the part that future Sally came ". Taylia added.
" Yes that also happened ". Everling nodded.
"This is why it isn't good to sleep too much". Alouis came to a conclusion that it all was a dream .
"We weren't dreaming". Sally said angrily.
"And besides if you are correct , them what about the bottle on the table".
Sally pointed to the table they kept the bottle after pouring out drinks , but it was gone even the wine glasses.
"What bottle". Alouis said staring at the empty table.
"What!, this isn't possible". Everling was visibly shocked .
"Okay wait , what about the chest". Taylia said.
"Right the chest".
The boys followed them to the beach but as much as they searched they couldn't find it .
"Come on let's go in , it's scorching hot , all what happened was just a dream". Varian said.
"No it wasn't a dream". Taylia refused to believe it was a dream.
"It was too real to be called a dream".
"Come-on not you too Taylia, (sighs), let's just go in and besides I brought a gift for you" . Lucian told Taylia as he held her hand and took her in.
"And we have a new quest suggestion". Alouis added.
The others followed behind , Everling, Sally and Taylia kept on wondering
Was it all a dream??
.....
A long while later,
"Zach those kids that came some days ago, where are they from".
"Sir they're from the human world". Zach replied.
" Oh the human world , I haven't gone there in a while".
"Then sir , why don't we go for a vacation?". Zach asked.
"Nah, my brother wouldn't agree and you know I'm scared of him a lot".
"Right, your brother, how's he doing ".
"Fine , maybe you can help me plead with him". Zach gave him a long stare before finally agreeing .
"Fine". They went quiet again.
"Sir I almost forgot, a lady was looking for you " . Zach said .
"A lady??". Fargius continued
"Did she come in person".
"No , she sent a servant of hers, it turns out she came to ask for a little favour". Zach replied.
"A favor hmmn..... Okay ". Zach hands over a note to Lord Fargius.
"She brought this".
After reading through it , Lord Fargius erupted into a creepy and dark laughter. He started speaking in a playful tone
"Gosh this is so funny but in a more serious note , who this hell is this bitch". He ended the statement with a cold and deadly voice.
