The Alchemist’s Son

* Still in shock of how wonderful his new mansion was, Damian walked about the Mansion, "oh my God!!!, Grandfather has a fleet of cars, this is amazing", he said to himself, as he continued checking his out his new mansion he couldn't find any house help, " I guess I'll just look for house help on the Internet because there is much work to be done", he Said to himself again as he walked into his grandfathers main chambers.

 "whats with this place, it smells like sulphur in here, Damian said in an irritated tone, mean while it was getting dark and Damian thought it was wise to spend the night at his new property. While he sat down to reflect over his documents of ownership, Damian was thinking about what could have caused or lead to the death of his grandfather, because his death was surprising, his grandfather wasn't the type to fall ill.

 The moon was high up in the sky and it's dim lights could barely touch the earth surface as night birds roam the skies, Damian couldn't sleep as if a strange presence didn't allowed him to. BUZZ!!!!, His phone rang, he got up and turned off the alarm, gently he placed his phone down and made another attempt to sleep but the window downstairs wasn't locked and the wind was hitting against it, the sound was very disturbing for Damian do he got up and went downstairs to lock it.

 He got downstairs and locked the window,he turned to return upstairs as he was still feeling the urge to sleep, he noticed a sudden movement from within one of the rooms, the shock from the sudden movement made him alert as there was no one else in the mansion other than him, swiftly Damian held the door knob and pushed it but the door wouldn't open, he decided to break the door and after several attempts the door wouldn't open.

 Minutes went by as Damian struggled with this strange looking door, out of frustration he sat down opposite the door and stared at it, "what could be behind this door", he said to himself, suddenly the door creeped open, Damian contemplated in his heart whether he should go up stairs and continue his sleep and behave like nothing happened or go and see what was behind this door.

 Damian summoned courage and marched into the room and to his surprise it was empty and at the sight of the empty room he gave a sigh of relief, but that wouldn't be the end of it as there was another stair way in the room that leads down, Damian decided to go down the stairs, he climbed down untill he came to basement and he turned on the lights. Behold it was his grandfathers lab and there where creatures who looked inhuman, on the desk of the lab were several notes but one in particular caught Damian's attention, it was a journal covered in dry human flesh and letters in it were written in human blood. Silence from the room sent a chilling sensation down Damian's spine. At first he refused to read from the journal but it opened and the pages continued to flip until it suddenly stopped and Damian couldn't resist the temptation of reading it.

 As he proceeds to read the journal his body began to shake and sweat thick as blood dropped from his body, Damian began to read the book and he observed that they were several alchemy instruments which where also found in the basement and how they were used in unholy experiments, shocked by this demonic revelation Damian fell and his right arm touched one of the alchemy tools, the weather condition in the room and around the mansion changed, the wind zoomed in and out of the basement, the alchemy tools inside the room began to vibrate, out of nowhere came symbols which began to align in the air and light enveloped the whole room, Damian covered his eyes as if he was scared he would go blind from exposure to this strange rays of light, minute's went by and this unnatural event seized. 

 Damian opened his eyes and in his heart he regretted ever coming downstairs, "oh Damian you're so much in trouble" he said in his heart as a strange figure emerge from the dying light. Behold it was his grandfather but not in the flesh but in a spiritual form of life,"you shouldn't have come down here Damian, now the legacy of alchemy I fought so hard to destroy lives on with you", after saying those words he disappeared along with the beam of light.

 Damian in confusion and regret took the journal and moved up stairs for he just found out that he was no longer just a grandson of a wealthy man but a grandson of a dead alchemist. Getting into his room Damian tossed the journal at the other end of the room and he wished he was in a dream, "no it's all a dream, it can't be rea", he whispered to himself. Overwhelmed by everything that has taken place since he came into the mansion, Damian still in thoughts fell asleep.

 It was morning time and the sun was shining bright and it's radiance woke the birds and all living creatures alike. Damian woke up and stared at the mirror, "ahh i had the strangest dreams", he took a step and he felt something under his foot, he bent down and picked it up and it was the journal he found in the basement, frightened by the sight of it Damian fell and again the pages flipped and stopped.

 Damian could hear his own heart beat, the silence was unsettling as he was afraid to move or take a look at what was written in the page of the journal, Damian crawled towards the journal and he came across the word that would change the course of his life forever. "THE PHILOSOPHER STONE".
