Merchant Of Death

Acient book

"wait up!! Wait up!!" I tried to catch up with him. I could only see his back, his head was covered with a hood and his legs clad in a leather trouser he walked a little too fast.

There was something oddly farmiliar about him but I could not place my hand on it. "Hey!!!" Finally I got close to him,  placing my hands on his shoulders turning him around...
"Ahhhh". I screamed clutching my bedsheets to my body sweat dripping from my forehead and heartbeat racing wildly. How Kora came holding me I didn't know. I was numb, and I couldn't feel a thing, my throat were sore and dry. I raised my hands to my eye level and saw it was  vibrating so I quickly put them back under the duvet.

"Amelia, Amelia, Amelia" Kora shook me. My body responds a little late as I try to open my mouth to talk but I couldn't bring myself to say anything, my mouth heavy so I signaled her using my hands , for  her to get me water.

Minutes later after drinking the water, I had gotten myself back, I sat on my bed with Kora by my side holding me. Just then the tears I had been holding began to fall freely.

" Shhh it's okay it was just a nightmare okay" Kora cooed. I shook my head not accepting what she had said. This was more than a nightmare, it looked so, so real. I wiped my tears and decided I needed to talk to someone about it and get answers and that person is Derek.

" I want to talk to Derek Kora" I said turning to her. She shook her head and sighed.
" He's not around, the guys went out..."  She informed, I don't know, but I feel she's leaving some parts out.
"To?..."
" He, he,...I can't tell Amelia he just said I should look after you that he'll handle it and all. You know Derek he's not always...clear...and...and" she stutters so I cut her off. I've had enough I need to get to the root of this myself. If I'm not getting enough answers I'll go in search of them.

" I'm out.." I said standing up.
" Out? To where?" She asked confused.

" Are you not seeing this, are all of you not seeing what's happening...the dream, the book ,the prophesy... nothing is clear, every single thing has a gliche in it...and I'm going to find out what's happening..I'm going to find out why, I'm going to find the answers you all could not give me" I said picking up a jacket pulling it around me.

" But you can't just leave?! In search of answers it's not safe" kora exclaimed. Following me out of the room down the stairs to the sitting room.

" Yea I know it's not safe. But I feel I need to do this...I feel there is a place that has all what we are looking for. There is a place that has the secrets to Killin the devil" I wispher the last part

" Derek hasn't shown you the book in the library?" She asked squinting her eyes..

" Yes he has..but it's not complete
There is another book but that's the problem." Kora sighed, rubbed her temples and slumped on the nearest sofa, picking at her fingers as if she knew something."

" You're smart, you really are the marked one.
Yes there is another book, it's called the acient book..it's been existing ever since.even before the spirits came into existence..
It is said that the book cannot be destroyed and everything about the past, the present and the future is in that book, even how to kill the devil. But...but something happened.." she sighed.

" What happened" I asked settling on the sofa beside her.

" It all happened Long time ago, they were called rulers ,the four high judges .but mostly They call them the acient priests...one was called the wise..
he was wiser than anyone and any living creature living at the time... when people needed assistance on some things they run to him.

The second was called the time..he was the second in power, cause he could turn things around anytime and anyway he wants it..there was even a time he started a  day over again." She giggles before she continued.

The third was called the past and hades..you see this in particular was a spirit, he created spirits so they will one, live forever and go back in time that's  the past..and then collect lost souls but then this particular god got angry and proud.but before I go into that I'll tell you about the last...

He's called the creator...the most powerful out of the all of them..he was worshipped even the other three worshipped him..but that was why past and hades got angry". She paused then continued.

" This four God's created this book called the acient book, it had all the details of how spirits, man, animals and all living and non living were made.

It's speaks more about the supernatural..after many years the three gods noticed a change in behavior in past and hades, like he wanted to take over the spirit world all by himself. He grew proud and evil..so..evil so they devised ways to kill him as he was immortal...but all seemed futile. But the wise devised a scheme and organized a banquet just for the four of them...they all drank but he ensured and got the  past and hades drunk.

The wise then brought up how it was so impossible it was to kill them.but drunk hades piped up and spoke foolishly...the only way to kill him was....but before he realized he had told them it was too late, so he ran away, far far away.....but it had been written down already in the book..he tried so many times to get his hands on the book but he couldn't. When the three gods realized him trying to get the book they locked it far far away, somewhere he was not able to lay his hands on...

Since the day he ran away he formed his own pack called the demons....that was how the devil was born...he is the devil that seeks you, cause only you can find the book and only you can kill him......."
