*****************
It was a dark and stormy night, and the rain poured down in sheets. In a secluded castle library, two figures were hard at work, searching through the stacks of books. One was a young woman named Athena, her black hair pulled back in a severe bun. The other was a young man named Vlad, his auburn hair falling over his face as he leaned over a large tome. The two of them were bitter rivals, each trying to uncover the secrets of the books of mystery.
Athena's eyes darted over the pages of a book, her fingertips running lightly over the worn leather binding. The pages were yellowed with age, but she could still make out the faded words. "There must be something here," she muttered under her breath. Vlad glanced over at her, his eyes narrowed. "I've already looked through that book," he said. "There's nothing of use in it." Athena glared at him. "You may not have found anything, but that doesn't mean I won't," she said.
Vlad let out a frustrated sigh. "We've been at this for hours," he said. "What makes you think we'll find anything tonight?" Athena didn't respond, her focus still on the book in front of her. As she turned the pages, her heart began to race. "I think I've found something," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. Vlad turned to look at her, a spark of interest in his eyes. "What is it?" he asked. Athena held up the book, pointing to a passage.
The passage was faded and hard to read, but Athena could just make out the words. "It says here that the books of mystery can only be opened by someone with pure intentions," she said. "Whoever tries to use them for their own gain will be cursed." Vlad let out a low whistle. "That sounds ominous," he said. Athena nodded, her eyes wide. "But it also means that whoever finds the books first could use them to do a lot of good," she said.
The thought of using the books for good filled Athena with a sense of purpose. She quickly turned to another page, her fingers flying over the yellowed paper. Vlad leaned closer, watching her with interest. "What does it say now?" he asked. Athena paused, her eyes fixed on a particular word. "It says that the books are hidden in a place of great power," she said, her voice hushed. "A place where the veil between worlds is thin." Vlad frowned.
In a flash, the library disappeared, and Vlad found himself lying in bed, his heart pounding in his chest. For a moment, he thought it had all been a dream. But then he noticed a piece of paper on his nightstand. He picked it up, and his eyes widened. The paper was covered in handwriting, detailing instructions on how to find the books of mystery. He was about to call out for one of his guard, when he noticed the postscript. "P.S. - Remember, you have to be pure of heart to find the books.
"This is my first encounter with chosen one,he said sweating.
Athena woke with a start, her eyes flying open. As she sat up, she realized that she was clutching a piece of paper in her hand. She unfolded it, her breath catching in her throat. The paper was covered in writing, giving instructions on how to find the books of mystery. And at the bottom, there was a single word: "Congratulations." As she read, she realized that the instructions were addressed to her, and not to Vlad. She frowned, wondering what it meant.
Athena's thoughts were racing. Was she really the one who was meant to find the books of mystery?, "can I be able to do this?" She tried to push the doubts from her mind, determined to follow the instructions on the paper. But as she read on, she noticed something strange. The instructions seemed to be getting more and more ominous, and she began to wonder if she was being led into a trap.
Then she remembered the words of Alpha lucky,the book will come to you at the right time...
