Chereads / The Caged Beast / Chapter 4 - "Do you know who you are"

Chapter 4 - "Do you know who you are"

My Name is Lucian Aeon and this is my story of how my life changed after an old man (Stur M. Frei) fell right in front of my house.

That Old man told me what my name was and now has teleported me somewhere. This place is unknown to me.

"Hey, Old Man, How do you know my name, Where am I, What's this place, Why I am here, and who was the person that attacked us?" I shouted.

Stur M. Frei replied, "Don't you have eyes, can't you see and also you don't have to worry about the person who attacked us when we were in your house."

I replied, "Hey Old man, Of course, I can see that there is greenery all over this place as far as I can see, I can also see that this place has two mountains, and both of them are covered by lush green grass and a river is passing between these two mountains. but what I want to know is the name of the place?"

Stur M. Frei replied, "Let's walk, as for the name of this place, I don't know the name, this place is an enchanted forest, it has two towers in the middle and a portal in between the two towers, there is a portal which will activate only if we have the crystal."

.

I said, "Portal."

"After reaching the end of the first mountain I could only see the two towers, there was no portal between them."

I asked," How were you able to enter this place if it only activates when have a crystal?"

He shouted, "Are you an idiot, can you use teleportation magic, if not then you don't need an answer to that question?"

I replied, "No, I can't use teleportation magic but you don't need to shout."

He continued, "The answer to why you are here is that we need to collect the crystals from the magical beasts and those crystals are magical crystals so they are the things which only you can touch."

I replied, "Huh, They are only Magical Crystals, so how is this possible that I am the only one who can touch the crystals, why can't you touch them and what are those crystals for?"

This time the old man was really angry and shouted, "DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU REALLY ARE?"

The Old man continued, "We will meet someone later and he will tell you who you really are, don't worry about anything."

Righy now just focus on the things that you can do, in this case, collecting the crystals.

.

.

I was about to reply to the ' Do you really know who you are ' question, but I got distracted due to a strange noise, and rather than replying to his question I asked the old man about that strange noise.

The Old Man replied, "This forest is ruled by the man who is the owner of the Third Ancient Magical Book, but at present, he is not here but I guess this strange noise is coming from the one who protects the crystal and the magical beast who has the crystal is here.

The Old man continued, " We need to find the crystal as soon as we can."

I replied, " As you mentioned, the crystal is here, and the ruler of this land is, I suppose one of you guys, so what's the reason you need to take the crystal from this place and also what do you need me for?"

The Old Man replied, " I told you, you are the only one who can touch the crystal."

The Old Man continued, " As you know from our previous encounter that there are fourteen Ancient Magical books and now I'm telling you that each book needs a particular crystal, so in total there are fourteen crystals which are scattered around different parts and WE don't know where those crystals are, we only know the location of this one because you touched my book. So, this is the place where we will find the 7th crystal because I'm the owner of the SEVENTH Ancient Magical Book."

I asked the Old man, "So we need to find the crystal and that crystal will help us to teleport through the portal."

The Old man replied, "I don't know what will happen when we activate the crystal but yes that's what we need to do and as fast as we can."

The Old man continued, " You are a Level A magician, so I assume that you are powerful."

I replied, " Yes, I am, but I am not at the level that you are, but you can count on me if anything bad happens."

The Old man said, " Can you jump?"

I replied, "No."

The Old man said, "Use your magic and try to reach the portal, I am going ahead to see what caused that strange noise."

The Old Man used teleportation magic and teleported.

Now I was alone and before continuing on this journey, I thought to myself, I know that the ancient magical books are for the resurrection of the Magical Beast but the Old Man is not telling me how does he know about my mother and also about my name?

I guess I will ask him when I reach the portal.

.

.

.

But before I start on this journey, I will let you guys know a little secret about me, but promise me you will not tell (Mr. Stur M. Frei) about this.

Do you guys remember this question, " DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU REALLY ARE?"

Yes, Of course, I know who I am, I am the only one who can touch the crystals.

I also know that I am the only one who was given the power of touching the crystals.

I also know that what these crystals can do, and I also know what the Ancient magical books are for.

I need others in my quest because every ancient magical book has an owner and I can't defeat the owners alone and also I need to collect the crystals.

I can collect the crystals alone but defeating the ancient magical book owners is a difficult task.

The ancient magical books help in increasing the magic level.

So, I guess Mr. Stur M. Frei can help me in defeating all of these owners as his Magician Level is Alpha and there are more powerful magicians than Mr. Stur M. Frei and they are the owners of the ancient magical books.

As for my magical level, Let's continue with "LEVEL- A" until the right time and right place.

.

.

I just have one question, "How does this guy know about me and my mother and that I am the only one who can touch the crystals?" and also I don't know what will happen when we activate the portal and also about the magical beasts or individuals which I will be facing.

Let's start walking towards the portal.

The portal is too far but I can't reach there faster than the old man and I don't want to disclose my identity right now.

I guess this will be a long journey.
