Inspiration taken from that one book where a newt who waves a stick around to shoot lights into the air went around some world where there are witches and gathered all the information for a book detailing some monsters and creatures so you don't get killed by them.

This story is a sequel to Tides of Time

This fic is undergoing a massive edit to take out some of the cringe, and to right this wonky universe I created. I apologize if some of you disagree with this decision, but it's been years since I started writing this and I'm just not happy with it.
