YOU WILL BE MINE!

As soon as I returned home with Cathy, after dealing with that jerk and his accomplices! I dashed to my room to check out that book.

I shut myself in my room, made myself comfortable on the bed. And there it was, the book....it kept staring at me. A quite strange book with a magical array! Well the symbol or the magical array it has, it is a quite a simple yet complex one. At one instant look on the symbol, it looks like a snake guarding a stone. But if you give a concentrated look, it looks different! As if a stone is guarding a huge dragon!"

"I guess I should look into this book, cause it looks like it from the ruins of Zusholin."

"As I extend my hands to open the book, I rub my finger over the engraved symbol. For a second I felt  as if I was getting sucked into a vacuum space!  Woah! It's a scary one!"

"Okay let's try again! I hold the book onto my laps. Then I open the book, well my heart's racing.

The first page of the book has nothing written in it, expect few lines in Xuyia language."

xuyia*  one of the common language used in the Zusholin Empire.

"Wait, what! Xuyia language? So it is a book from Zusholin Empire. *Tapping his fingers on his chin* so it may have something about my empire! First let's read what it says..." He extends his finger on the writings, sliding his fingers on the rough, yellow paper as he spells out what's written,

"A CITY OF RYUU"

" WITH GOLDEN HUE"

"SKIES OWNED BY DARKNESS"

" ITS NO MORE OF THE EMPRESS"

"A LAND OF TERROR"

"WITHOUT EMPEROR"

As Rhys kept reading out the lines....a cold bead of sweat, traces it's way from his forehead to his gulping throat. " City of Ryuu? It means ZUSHOLIN!  There are empires and provinces but, Zusholin's capital "ZUHO" was known as land of Ryuu! It means that after zuho became the territory of  YE-LONG-SHI  a puppet king of the vicous "Lord of bird clan"

The Hawk Emperor, "ELLINGTON DAVIS LA BOURNÈ" the Hawk of the bird clan! He took everything from me! *His eyes fills with tears* if only if Yuki wouldn't have married to that cold emperor! Only if only, I would have told her that I love her more than a brother, only if, only I would keep her by myself *clentches his fists, punching the mattress he gives out a soft moan*

" I feel like I am getting torn apart, when I remember her leaving her home and the tower to the castle..... Eventhough it was a distant memory I can feel it to my bones" *inhales deeply*.

"Her face that carried beam of smile and glisten in her eyes was lost." *looks up at the celling, while remembering his past*

"Eventhough she was bathed with golden mist, Red silk gliding over her soft yet cold body. A bride like a fire flower, vigorous and tender, her eyes showed how painfully she walked in her carriage"

While Rhys was talking to himself, while remembering one of his most painful yet beautiful days. He breaks down and  letting his tears rolling over his pale cheeks...making way to his neck, a feeling of chill and cold grasping over his heart. A regret for losing the person he loved.

"Okay, now everything is in the past! *wipes down his tears* I need to find Yuki. And this book will tell. No matter what YOU WILL BE MINE"

Rhys say's with a husk and depth in his voice.

"Here we go little guy. Show me what you have got in you here" *strokes the first page and turns to the next*

As soon as he turns the page he gets into the internal space of the book. He gets astonished, when he sees a person with black robe floating in mid air, holding the book, where the pages where circling the man.



I guess I have entered into the internal space of this book. But who is this man in black robe. It looks like his is the author of this book!

" *clearing his throat* umm... Mister? Would please tell me who are you? And is this your book?" *takes a step towards the person*

As soon as he asks, the person in robes stops doing what he was doing. He floats down to the surface, looks at Rhys as his eyes lids reveals his black-misty eyes.

Giving a piercing look to Rhys he asks with a wishpering yet in a deep voice, "Boy who you might be? Yes this is my book. And why might  I tell who am I?" His eyes fixing gaze over the amber eyes of Rhys'  "You come into my internal space and question me! WHO I MIGHT BE??"  He says with a fury in his voice.

"Let me guess old man, you are the book spirit trapped by a magician!" Rhys says while he ignores the complaint of that man.

"Wh-Who is the old man!, I am DARIEN, A strong book spirit!"  Scoffs with annoyance.

"So you revealed yourself" *smirks*

*crosses over his arms and walks towards the book spirit*

"Yeah yeah, whatever you may think"

*Scoffs*

"Well, I thought I met some great mage or sprit, but you are some long -lost , trapped spirit! Humph!!" 

Rhys gives out a sarcastic laugh when he sees the sprirt in fury and rage!

Haha! He must be an old spirit trapped here. Ah! Its a pity to see how annoyed he is. But he may not help me.

"Hey I am not some long-lost mage!!! I am DARIEN DE YETRON!!" he says with his head held high.

"okay okay Darien, by your family name I guess you were a mage from Yetron family from Southern Kingdom?" Vester asks while he taps his finger on his chin.

"Yes! I am a mage form Southern Kingdom! How did you know? Are you a mage like me too?" *curiously*

"Well I was something stronger and powerful than a mage *smirks and looks at the mage* "

"Huh? powerful? Are you kidding me kid! you are just at your teens!! do you take me as joke" he bursts out in laughter as he hears Vester's Statement. But his laughter didn't last long...when he felt overwhelming pressure

"Huh where is this such overwhelming pressure"

" 𝖂𝖍𝖆𝖙 𝕯𝖎𝖉 𝖄𝖔𝖚 𝖘𝖆𝖄? 𝕴 𝖆𝖒 𝖆 𝖒𝖊𝖗𝖊 𝖙𝖊𝖊𝖓!"

"W-Who are you?" Darien was terrified and shaken, Vester stood there as overflow of his mana made Darein choke.

"𝕯𝖔 𝖄𝖔𝖚 𝖊𝖛𝖊𝖓 𝖐𝖓𝖔𝖜 𝖜𝖍𝖔 𝖜𝖆𝖘 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖙𝖔𝖜𝖊𝖗 𝖒𝖆𝖘𝖙𝖊𝖗 𝖔𝖋 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖕𝖔𝖜𝖊𝖗𝖋𝖚𝖑 𝖐𝖎𝖓𝖌𝖉𝖔𝖒-𝖐𝖎𝖓𝖌𝖉𝖔𝖒 𝖅𝖚𝖘𝖍𝖔𝖑𝖎𝖓 𝖎𝖘!!!" his mana emitting from him was enough to drain of the mana from Darein.

"Y-You are lancelot Vester?! *gulps*" there was terror in his eyes, as he knew how terrifying and ruthless was Vestor according to the people of Zusholin. With a stammering voice and racing heart with fear, he speaks "Respected tower master, forgive me for my arrogance. And please calm down."
