a shaman's book

after going trough the stairs ,odin reach an arched rustic room ,his eyes then could only be drawn toward the only source of light and that was coming from the book put on an altar ,he makes his way toward it but the few repeated echo of footsteps brought on a wheezing feeling and Without any circulation of air the stagnant aroma added to his faltering .

to make sure he asks the boy:" is it ok to touch it ?"

"well ,i never tried"

"by the way can you lift me up ?"

"hum" with a snap of his fingers a cubic bolder stretch out from ground and so odin climbs it.

he gulps then grabs the book and right after he did he closes his eyes getting ready for the impact ,luckily nothing happened .he let's out a sigh then proceed with opening it

"hmm, nothing happened again " and right after he said so ,the letters in the book came out and like a snake they climbed through his body in high speed going toward his mouth,

" so this is how you eat words" the boy couldn't help but add a sarcastic comment , after odin swallowed the entire letters from the book ,the book tuned into ashes and he had to squat in ground holding his head in agony.

2 minutes passes ,he stands up with a smile pasted in his face then turn toward the only person in the room,"guess what i got?"

the boy's curiosity seems intrigued so asks " what did you get?"

" i got the most lethal and efficient weapon in the world"

" did you actually get divine powers?!!!!!!"

" let me introduce to the power called 'knowledge '"

the boy's face was empty and impassive but you can see the storm brewing in his eyes ready to swallow the other " books are indeed a frightening opponent but i'm not stupid hurry and tell what you got"

"i'm not joking i really got knowledge , an encyclopedia about many races and monsters, herbs ,stones and gems ,history ....."

" i don't want to spoil it for you but you do know this world and yours are entirely different "

" it doesn't matter ,getting information about this world is already of great help ,besides i got some clues" odin's change into a narrative tone " in the northing continent lived a famous tribe called ' Maghol' known of his proficiency in controlling dark lifeforms ,it was a powerful ability but they wrong used it to hide from others, unfortunately the snow kingdom with the powerful detecting alchemy devices found them and wagged a war against them ,annihilating half of them while others were treated like war bounty 'slaves', they put some of them into the mage towers labs and others were auctioned to nobles ,and here were it all came down ,from these slaves two lovers were separated ,the man was bought to the lab and the woman was auctioned to Crowley's household . Arthur Crowley fell in love with her and made her his concubine but what he didn't know that she was already pregnant with her lover's child but no one knew at that time because when she gave birth to it ,the child was white skinned ,but even so she knew it was her's and lover's child. the kid was extremely beautiful and smart even though he was a slaves child no one said anything because he is the only child and heir .the Maghol man in the lab grew stronger an stronger each day absorbing their magical crystals until one day he run away to look for his lover ,and once he heard about her marriage and giving birth ,he did not get sad or mad at her , he knew she didn't have a choice but that didn't stop him for going to her rescue , it wasn't easy to sneak in but once he did he saw his lover in the garden with a 2 years old kid playing in the swing and just right after he put his foot inside ,Arthur appears behind him hitting him behind his head making him unconscious ,the poor man was brutally tortured and to break him more he hypnotized his concubine to lie about her feelings ,the man didn't break down but give birth to a dark seed attached itself into his hearth . 5 years later in the night of the kid's birthday party, the man's body withered away to the ground like black ink ,it then spread below the ground going toward every Magholin person in the kingdom , including the kid in the party who suddenly turned tan in front of everyone he then was labeled cursed and a bastard, and for the other Magholin they were emitting black smoke from there bodies but no one can see it but themselves and with time they realized that they can make people sick after they intercourse so they kept quite about it ,vengeance has already rooted deep inside them . but that wasn't it because people who interacted with them for too long also got sick and finally the city also realized the occurrence nevertheless it was too late ,what was suppose to be only sickness seems to be a curse and it was contagious, can't be ridden off or cured even after they killed all Magholins living in the city it still spread .

the whole city was in chaos ,some blamed the cursed people others blamed who bought them here but all what can they do is curse, the turmoil kept going until the oracle finally came down

" the ghost left it blood ,for only blood could wash your sins, cut the tree from it roots but once dead all yellowed leaves will wither, and only by hiding the root under your canopies will the leaves turn golden"

Interrupt the kid " i don't get it"

odin rolled his eyes then said: " the man who made the curse left his son in the city ,his son is the key to end all of this or to change all of it ,and hey i think the son is actually you "

the kid rolled his eyes as well :" even though i don't remember that doesn't mean i'm blind, so how did it end".

Crowley's knew about the man who snuck to see his wife and they obviously realized that the woman's kid belongs to him and so decided to kill him ,but Arthur is convinced that the kid is his own saying that it was all planned by the Magholin to take revenge on him using his son "

odin thought :'so the memory i went in at first is the discussion with Arthur and his dad trying to convince him to withdraw his orders .but he could do nothing about it the word has already spread around reaching the kings ears '.

the kids execution really stoped the spread of the curse and killed all who was infected ,but what they didn't know is that the mother who's soul was farther powerful then her lover casted a forbidden spell that costed her entire lifespan , in that night intense screams full of anguish and desperation filled the city hence no one lived to see the sunrise ."

" how can you knew all of this in details ?"

Odin answers " owe ,this seems to be written by your mother and apparently she's a shaman"

a system prompt pop out' truth revealed :you can now head out to the castle to obtain your quest'
