Whoosh!
In underground trier the azure glow in Atur Sanson's eyes faded. He found himself still holding the scroll that was once glowing on his hand, still standing where he was before being pulled to the mysterious space.
Almost immediately, the scroll made of sheep skin in his hand crumbled into dust and disintegrated to the ground. In seconds, there's no longer a trace of the scroll's existence.
An uneven circle like pattern emerged on Atur's palm barely made visible by the candle light. It then faded rapidly until it was seemingly absorbed by the flesh, vanishing completely in the process. Atur nodded in a hardly noticeable manner, as if he was thinking about something. He remained still and silent for a while.
He then let out a sigh and continued moving deep within the cave, writing down all the symbol he saw etched on the walls of the cave, he calmly observed the area searching for hidden clues on possible history buried here, he continued searching for a while with the wick of the candle gradually waning, he gave up and left underground trier.
As he walked towards the exit he pictured "The Aeon" who was covered by a light mirage and sighed. He nodded in a hardly noticeable manner, as if he was thinking about something. He remained silent as he continued walking.
He looked out the exit of underground trier as though in a reverie while filled with awe and anticipation "This is just the beginning"
…
In a messy apartment complex in Backlund.
Ignatius Black stared around for few seconds before he let out a sigh of relief that he was back in the apartment he had rented for a month.
On his hand, the pendulum that he had used for divination had cracks all over its surface.
Ignatius cast his gaze downward and saw the swirling azure on the back of his hand; it looked like a tattoo depicting a star.
The "azure" gradually faded and disappeared into his skin.
Only now did Ignatius realized that what just occurred wasn't a dream.
His eyes tinged with fear and weariness. He could not help but stand up and check on himself properly.
He searched his entire body if anything odd had been placed on him, he didn't believe that the event was so sudden and he wasn't targeted at all.
After a while, his weariness has settled and he couldn't help but smile as he began to tidy up the room.
"Seriously Octavio really needs to learn to clean for himself, Ignatius grumbled as he put away some materials that should not be in the living room. Ok first I have to get some books that have the names and rituals for summoning spirit world creature.
Knock! knock! Someone suddenly opened knocked at his apartment door.
Who is it? Ignatius dropped what he was doing as he tidied his dress to appear more accommodating.
It's me Octavio, your room-mate. Ignatius roommate said from outside the door.
Ignatius sighed and asked as he walked towards the door "Don't you also have a copy of the house key.
Ignatius then walked to the door unlocked it and opened the door only for Octavio to fall flat on the ground without the door's support.
Ow my head!
Octavio winced as the fall helped him gain more clarity from his state.
Ignatius immediately helped him up and took him to a chair for him to rest in, he then calmly went to the kitchen area and poured two glass of water and brought them to the table.
Out partying with the team again I assume? Ignatius asked.
Yeah we celebrated your brother being a new member of the red-gloves. Octavio replied placing one hand on his throbbing head while using the other to pick the glass cup to drink.
It's only fitting of him to be chosen, my brother always finds a way to shine wherever he is as always. Ignatius eyes rolled as he said this, clearly not surprised at his brother's promotion to becoming a red-glove an advance team of beyonders under the church of Ever night.
After sometime he asked the gradually recovering Octavio. "do you know where I can get books containing summoning rituals for spirit world creatures.?
When Octavio pondered over the question for a few seconds said with a smile. "are you planning on gifting your brother some creatures knowing that he will soon advance to sequence 5 spirit warlock.
Spirit warlock was the sequence 5 of the darkness pathway, beyonders at this sequence are able to seal natural, evil and deceased spirits and put them to sleep, housing their targets within their bodies. These spirits can then be summoned and commanded.
No why would I help him. He can get all that by himself, he doesn't need my help, all he does is torment me and give me nightmares. He always works lates making my parents proud of him due to his dedication to his work as a policeman.
An after all these work he does, he doesn't get tired, he never sleep his mere presence undermines my achievements, that's one of the reasons why I left home. Ignatius said heavily.
Well. Now that you're free you can do whatever you want right? You and your family's history is quite interesting . little is known about the Black family except that they were around during the third epoch. Octavio said and stood up from the chair and headed to the rest room.
Yeah my parents only told me that our ancestors we are closely related to one of the families from ancient times. Ignatius replied boldly.
Alright" Octavio replied from behind the restroom's door. He continued you can just go to the underground market.
Although I could get some book on the subject from the church I'd have to explain why I need them since I am just a sequence 7 nightmare of the sleepless pathway. I might of an explanation that I need to prepare in advance but I am not sure how it will turn out.
Ignatius puzzled asked sequence 7 if my brother's pathway is nightmare? He must've quickly advanced because of the torment he put me through with his nightmare powers. With that said Ignatius while pissed stormed out of the room slamming the door behind him.
