Sins of the flesh

Edward's pov
      The Dark enclosed wall which I was in could make a man's skeleton shake off his body.the owls of the night whimper in the presence of two men moving in the dark.the wall were coated with brown clay and embedded with strange writings on it.this was definitely uncanny.the light of the blow-torch wasn't enough to clear out the darkness.

I began to waddle close to the strange man I was sent here for;Chimeandel The Great,dressed in brown and white coat as well as his walking stick on his right hand,with his blow-torch on his left.we barely even spoke up to each other.i guessed he was still sober for his daughter's death.What a tragic loss to him!.

At last,we finally got to our checkpoint,a medium-sized room with a long table and stool.Severval books were laid randomly in different location.some of them were nearly arranged on the table.The windows were left shut.Dust filled the air,penetrating into my nostril as I have out a loud cough.Spider webs made this place its home.

Immediately we entered the room,The door mysteriously shut all by itself.i watched in dispair as Chimeandel art on the chair,leaning out some books from his shelf.Now,we were alone,I figured out it was time to require some answers:

"Sire Chimeandel,I need to ask but where am I?what is this place?"

The old man replied to me,commenting with a friendly accent;

"Boy oh boy,This is the second house of Actcartrux.You,my lad are steping on the holy grounds of Mente,The first wizard ever to have lived in Darmich.You are on sacred Soils,my son".

"So,that makes you the....

"A caretaker,a supervisor of this establishment.You know,I am really not prone to visitors.this is very strange".

I walked round the room,seeking out the details of this awkward man as I continued to give out my list of queries:

"So what are you exactly,Chimeandel?"

The old man replied to me as he continued to bring out more ugly-looking books from the shelf:

"I am what everybody seeks.i am everyone and no-one.i am anything addressed in many names.some call me "The Walking Sorcerer" while some address me as Chimeandel"

Edward pressed on for a reasonable cause:

"Great!Another pathetic man with another hidden agenda.But who are you really?are you just another mysery in set for my head?"

The old man laughed at Edward,shaking the table in front of him.he looked up at his first as he uttered these words:

"No,my lad.i am just a Wizard"

Edward stared surprised at the Wreary man.at that point,Everything became clear and bright in his heart.his jumbled mind was filled yet with strange thought about this man.it wasn't much long when he discovered that he was actuallt standing next to a deity. He quickly sat on the chair,intrigued at the old man's identity
