1 The Secret Book

There once was an ancient myth about a mysterious figure which some people said looked like a fully black tree . One particular boy had a certain interest to this mysterious figure . At the age of 12 he read about the mysterious figure and had a certain enthusiasm to learn about it . He wanted to find or learn even more about the creature . In many of the books it is said that the creature stays away from the human civilization and the only times people saw him were in forests which were by now buildings . He has no clue and no hints on where the creature was but he wasnt giving up . After a few years when he was 16 he set out on a journey to find the creature. Everyone said he was crazy and would waste his time and said that instead of wasting time he should get a job or continue his studies but he disagreeed . He would start his journey next week . At the last day he put some clothes in his bag and grabbed his coat and left the house . No one was in the house because his parents had gone for a work trip . First he didnt have any idea on where to go but decided to go to a library to get some information . When he went inside the library he asked the librarian where to find the books about the mysterious creature . He searched for any new books he hadn't read already but there was nothing new but he did see a small torn up book in the corner of the book shelf . He looked at it and to his suprise there was written all the location from where the creature had been seen . He also looked at at the map of his country to find a nearby forest 128 km north . He asked the librarian if he could borrow the books but the librarian said to keep them because nowadays kids don't come to the library . He thanked the librarian and set out on his journey .
