The Chronicles of Ostrunov 3 Until We Meet Again

Chapter 4

"What!? So you've seen these amulets!? Then you already knew I was looking for them in the Land of the Afterlife where Father Lucas and I met?" Martino asked.

"Hahah, easy to guess, right? It won't be long until the next generation comes looking for them. We'd feel better if it's you. At least, these amulets will be in good hands." Axel explained.

"So Grandfather Gregers told you what happened? How do you feel?"

"Shock! Haha. It's a different story from what my father told me. So when I learned the truth, I was beginning to understand his feeling. Because Uncle Øystein was his only brother and family member left. But I'm still mad at him."

"Then ... what did the emperor request of you then? To destroy or hide the amulets?"
Daniel asked out of curiosity.

"Your guess are all wrong, Skyler! Now, where were we..."

........

That night, after meeting the emperor, the trio spent time together in Lucas' bedroom.

"Wow, your room got a nice view! From here, we can see the beach, and the sea stretching out to no end! Shall we go for a walk tomorrow?" Immanuel asked excitedly.
"It's up to you, buddy, haha.. Hey Buddy, why the long face? Are you thinking about what my father said?"
Lucas asked Axel.

"Hmm... about the emperor wanting us to find a holy spell used to revive the dead. He will use it to resurrect my uncle to atone for my father ... The problem is, where do we find it? And what about the resurrection of the soul? Wouldn't it be a violation of the laws of the underworld?"
He spoke with concern.

"Um, it's hard to say. For the sorcerer to actually do that, it's possible with the right spell and enough mana. But that would put oneself against the laws of the universe and even to Satan. If one doesn't have protection, Satan may hunt him down. Otherwise, there'd be no more souls worthy of punishment sent to the underworld ... Therefore, until now, there was no sorcerer, even from my family, dare cross that line."

"So is it really worth it ? To do that with your own life at stake."

"Well ... I don't think anyone can speak for my Father. But I guess he already thought this through, that doing this would stop the war, the fights and to reconcile with King Nicolai. If not, then one side has to lose and die for things to be over, also father is wearing Eye of the Eternal, granting him eternal life. No one can harm him."

"Is that right? .... Phew! Let's put that on hold, we gotta do our report! So, how do we work on the Kingdom's history?"
Axel suddenly changed the topic.

"Let's start with going out!! We can put work behind us for now." Immanuel responded.

"Well, aren't you the sunshine... So buddy, what's your idea, being a local?"
Axel asked Lucas

"It's easy. Tomorrow morning, we will visit the old town. Kvislemark has been the capital of Oceania for hundreds of years. Every place in the city has a history."

"And don't forget to take me to the beach!!" Immanuel repeated.

"Yes, yes, of course, eh! Oh! anyway, I have something for you, Axel."
Having said that, Lucas went to search the shelf and brought over a handful of books.

"Here, I know you like to read books, so they're yours! To atone for what I kept from you."

Axel picked it up. It was an ancient textbook containing various magical spells. Also a textbook of potions and so on.
