EPISODE 2: SANZIRINIGHTBANE AND CIELLA SOLSTICE
A day had passed since I received the Tome Of Thirteen Rules from my Gramps. It was nighttime. My siblings and I sat in the Hall watching anime. I was busy trying to make sense of 'The First Rule'. Kieran noticed me.
"Hey San, what are you reading?" He asked.
Saito and Ariel approached as well.
"I heard from Dad that you finally completed your training with Gramps, congratulations" Ariel said with a smile.
"Thanks guys" I said with a smile.
"This is worth celebrating" Saito said.
"You don't need to go through all that trouble" I said.
"It's no trouble" Kieran said.
"But before that, back to the main issue, what are you reading? You've been distracted with this book since yesterday" Saito said.
"I had Gramps make this for me. It's a record of the Thirteen Key Moments that made Gramps and Dad the men they are today" I explained.
"I see. I'm sure it has a lot of their training methods and techniques. You really do want to become stronger don't you San?" Kieran said.
"Nope, that's not it. This is a record I call the list of 'What Not To Do'. If I can evade everything recorded in this list, I will evade the family 'curse'" I said seriously.
My siblings laughed aloud.
"To think our eldest brother is simply scared of falling in love!" Saito teased.
"No Saito...you don't get it. Haven't you heard Mom and Dad's as well as Gramps and Granny's history?" I asked.
"Don't be an idiot San. The fact that they went through all that does not necessarily mean you'll go through the same thing though ultimately, that depends on you" Saito said.
"Of course it's possible that our Dreamweaver blood that makes us homing beacons for antagonistic forces hostile to Gramps, Dad and Mom may also be a factor" Kieran laughed.
"Well, there's no need getting depressed over something you cannot influence. All it means is that we just have to keep growing stronger" Saito said.
"You're right Saito" Ariel agreed.
"Well let's see what the ruckus about the contents of the Book is all about" Saito said.
I opened the Book. My siblings gulped as I turned the page to the one that contained The First Rule.
"There it is. 'The First Rule: He Will Defeat A Rampaging Rhino While Wearing A Bloodied Cape'" I read.
Then I noticed my siblings staring at me with weird expressions on their faces.
"Hey San, are you sure you're not making this up?" Saito asked.
"Why? Can't you see what's written here?" I asked.
"Nope, the page is completely blank" Saito said.
"What do you mean? It's not..." I stared at the page.
The words were staring back at me. I couldn't understand why my siblings couldn't see the words.
"Whatever the case, since Zanböngfar's rampage and the near extinction of all living things, it's been made illegal to hunt without a permit. If you went and killed a rhino while wearing a bloodied cape, the only place you'll find yourself is jail so there problem solved. I doubt you intend to become a criminal so if this 'Rule' really does exist, it's nothing to be concerned about" Saito said.
