                Aliana gasped as she saw the underground city of the Murghal Archives.... Mirghreel saw in awe how everything was cleaned, collected and organized, for an underground city of a long time ago.... Ruins, recovered.

                  Álgerus then walked down some hallways, there a few large rooms, some training grounds, other classrooms, other libraries, other more libraries.... Passed by.... But Álgerus continued and continued down and down the several hundred floors, until he came across a sealed metal gate. Álgerus took out a small brooch and faced it towards the gate, the brooch started glowing and the metal gate opened. It revealed a small room, probably the smallest one they've seen by no, but the most guarded.... It was reinforced with every metal from the floors to the ceiling...

                When they entered, the passed a small hallway, then entering an even smaller, more fortified chamber.... Aliana was thinking this was ridiculous as Mirghreel still watched in awe everything of this legendary place. "You've GOT to be fucking. Kidding. Me." Aliana yelled angrily when she saw the chamber, only containing some magic balls of light here and there, a pedestal, and.... A single book.



-"What the f—this is a joke right?" Aliana again said facing Álgerus, who was silent when he saw the book.



-"I recovered this book, and since then, only once I read it, and 4 times I've been able to see it, consider yourself lucky, honored.... This Aliana, is the book you're looking for, the one that is not a copy, the one that is complete.... The one who Esdor himself wrote to explain to us the Creation.... The Dawn of Kings."


-"Esdor wrote it?" Mirghreel said .... Silent after he started contemplantong what could be inside.... Wondering.


-"Esdor, Guilt, Zaram, Vastoria.... All of the gods contributed to write this book, even some Daermorahs...." Álgerus reassured with his eyes closed....


-"Daermorahs?" Mirghreel asked, puzzled.


-"Yes, demons, I'll just say for now that not all Ankhels are good, and not all Daermorahs are bad.... Just a lesson to you friends...."


-"Whoa.... I.... What's inside?" Mirghreel asked as Aliana inspected the room, all of this was fortified, one small wrong move and they would be trapped inside, if not killed first, forever.


-"Ehehe.... Claustrophobia...." Aliana mumbled.


-"What? You are afraid?" Álgerus said, still without opening his eyes.


-"Hehe nooo no no... Go on please...." Aliana said nervously to Álgerus, and he nodded.
