Alcor's Tale

Bill's Letter

Dipper's POV

My hands were shaking. I didn't know how to react. This was something I had never thought of. Bill reads books.

Wasn't he an all-seeing and all-knowing being? Why would he need to read about anything? I always thought of Bill as this embodiment of the illuminate or just a crazy stalker fan who knew everything about everything even the weird stuff you thought no one saw.

The even more shocking fact was the list of other owners. The names but Bill's had been crossed out like the book had been passed around like an old hand me down. Now that I was looking at it the book defiantly felt vintage and used. The binding was slightly worn as well and looked like it could be refurbished but, still had a charm to it.

I decide to turn the page taking the risk. I didn't know what this book was capable of and if Bill had it that could mean it was defiantly dangerous, to say the least. The next page was completely blank except for the sentence that said skcabllaf tuohtiw semoc egdelwonk on rof ti raef ot nrael lliw ti fo wonk ohw esoht nesir sah retsnom a ecalp sti ni dna nellaf sah tsaeb ehT.

Something about this sentence felt compelling and it drew me to it. I quickly shake this thought and to the next page. It was blank. The next one was the same and it continues as such until the end. "Almost the entire book is blank," I state out loud.

By now it was morning and I was still no closer to finding home or solving the mystery of my appearance. I go back to the first page with the writing. At this point I knew this was a risk but, I needed answers and maybe this book could help with answering them. So I said the sentence out loud.

That when the world around me is enveloped in bright light and when my eyes adjust I'm in a completely white room with a box with a letter set neatly on top of it. I start to walk over it and I notice the book was still in my hands.

When I finish approaching the box I set down the book on the ground and grab the letter on the top. It said on the envelope TO PINETREE.

PINETREE! That what bill always called me! Why did it have my name on it?! I open it up to find multiple pages of a letter. "I'm gonna be here awhile" I state and I begin to read the letter.

"Well, I'm dead huh. Darn it Pine tree looks like you won this round but, my friend even if your dead and it's your reincarnation is reading this letter I still didn't want this to happen. I guess by the time this is read I went crazy and started an apocalypse right? Eh, it doesn't matter we both knew this was going to happen. Without an anchor like Herman or Hermann however, you say that name I could never figure that demon out. Your such a goof even if you offer yourself as an anchor you know very well I could never drag you my best friend into such a life like this. Well, I guess this is enough of that sappy stuff I guess if we should go over what's happening to you huh? even if you don't remember the time we shared is forgot through your many lifetimes."

Bill sounded so nostalgic it was weird and what was this about me being his best friend and multiple lifetimes? Now that I had read the first paragraph I felt as if I had read someone's diary and felt like I had done something wrong but I continued to read anyway. I need answers and this was the only way I was getting them.

"Okay, now where to start. Well, Pinetree you may have noticed a few too many changes in your appearance and that is completely normal. So how do I break this lightly to you....... Uh, Pinetree you are now an immortal demon."

Wait. Wait. Wait. WHAT?! A demon! How did this happen? I mean it kind of explains the wings and stuff but How did this happen?!

"I bet your like HOW DID THIS HAPPEN. I know I'm right Pinetree you've been always been so easy to read. You will have to work on that being a demon now but, that will come naturally after all of this. So to answer your very likely question. I am dead (which I am if your reading this) from the only thing that could pretty much kill me which is the cipher wheel was used. You probably didn't realize that by using the cipher wheel that all the power that I had accumulated and that was used to defeat me was transferred to you. This transforms you into a demon. I know it's crazy and strange but you will grow accustomed to it in time. Just like every member of the wheel has done before you including yours truly."

Bill was a member of the cipher wheel? This was the first time I heard of this. But I mean at least one of my questions has been answered to myself. I continue through the letter.

"What do you not believe me I was the glasses. How dare you forget that much! Oh well I mean the new glasses are nice too but, still not as great me! Anyway back to the story you gonna need some demon training so you can get the hang of things some and all your predecessors made this spell! It's simple all you have to do is learn the spells and how to control your demon urges to an extent. I mean they never really go away but you can learn to suppress them. So we have all provided and added to that journal and in this box are some supplies you can use for practice. ALSO YOUR STUCK HERE UNTIL YOUR AT LEAST ABLE TO DO THAT MUCH SO HAVE FUN TILL THEN SEE YA IN THE NEXT LIFE BEST BUD -Sincerely Bill"

I finish the letter and sigh "This is going to take a while."
