[Year 1979 , a random day]
[POV MC]
Ahh yes , today is a beautiful day that birds sing and people play outside and all that nonsense old time shit.
Oh , well also there is an event that I'll attend today which is spending some time with the person who calls herself 'Yıldızsar' she's a shaman ... she says . She doesn't mind taking a look at me with my family around .
Sometimes some disgusting bastards come to the house with the pretext of checking me , my mom usually finds people that will 'cure' my 'demonic' problems and sometimes relatives find some too . Those 'disgusting bastards' I call them try to take me to a room with no one else is in , their intentions are usually obvious and they think of me as a prey . But they are dealt with my not so kind 'demonic entity' or so they think that is what it is . Now I'm popular around here for a while thanks to these kind of happenings .
The shaman...
It's gonna be super awkward when dad finds out about this woman though since he is the enemy of these kinds of things , but he probably wouldn't mind it too much if it was just for once .
[POV Yıldızsar]
[A/N: Yıldızsar = Bright Star]
She is one of the members of the magical side of things around here and a 'Congress of Shaman' member . After these lands were conquered in the far past some shamans moved to this place with their clans but they slowly lost their places in their clans because of the spread of the two big religions . So this resulted in shamans moving to secluded places , mostly forests , they weren't loved by the people afterall . But there were always people with potential .Even in the most religious places there would be some 'blessed' children . These blessed ones would be brainwashed by their parents and wouldn't find fancy in their powers and stop using them and eventually their power would leave them too .
Sometimes there would be exceptions , the ones that would want to use their powers but forced to do otherwise . If they were being consumed Esen would deal with them , he was an old man of high morals . He is saddened a lot when he sees children in pain . When it comes to finding the ones that has 'uçkur' [=obscurus] and when it's determined that they can't develop it and find their enlightment and real potentials they lose their 'uçkur' which means they are lost causes and can't be rescued anymore . A real nuisance that no one wants do deal .
[ç = ch/tch]
This week was a cursed week for sure , she had just escaped from a giant tribe .Not that she could refuse the order of Altanhan [Gold/en Khan] . How the hell would someone have sex with an ugly giant and steal all their golds and stash !!?
"How big is that guys' thing anyway?" she though . But he had to forget his manyak[shaman clothes] there , right ! That annoying man, why leave a cloth donned with gold near some unnamed lake . Well at least he gave her the promised eyes and 4 of them too , eyes of a vulture dragon . Bird looking dragons that feast upon corpses like a vulture does.
And now she was strolling around the city because that old hag Külgöz [=Ash eyes] divined something in the Congress , damn hag who is 'the frog' you are the frog.
She had divined something and told some nonsense "The frog must find and bring the snake to me ."
Who believes in you anyway.
' I'm too disappointed in you sister Umayşa[=Umay(Goddess of Fertility)' daughter] , if you didn't tell my birthday no one would know I'm the damn frog! ' she cried inside .
Damn you , divination !
[ş= shh -->think of 'hush' without 'hu' ]
Now ... I have to deal with that child and his family too, good thing I asked Dolaybay [=Shrewd Mister] for a few psychological tricks . But it's doubtful it will work with a religious family like it was planned so gotta wear the amulets and take the drum with me since it would take considerably big energy .
Well at worst I'll kidnap the kid.
[POV MC]
Now the promised time has come and this shaman girl had come sometime ago , about one hour. She was trying to convince my parents that I had magic and it didn't contradict with their beliefs. All of it was some big ol' lie though .I knew well enough about the religions to abandon them . She had asked me some question before the start of the controversy with my family and she also asked me to touch some stones ,
she was the real deal and the reasons being ...
First - There wasn't any group and people like that in my past life.
Secondly- The drum was a real shaman drum and it was exuding some alluring energy , somehow I was sensing something about it with my 'Force sense' and amulet too , a kyber perhaps no just joking it was just some white crystal with some 'force' in it.
that's all.
In this controversy I had already made a plan that I yet to share with anyone . I plan to escape here and follow the shaman . Once you die you won't feel that attached to some family anymore or to anything really .
So there are a few plans actually not one , let's be honest .
First I will ask the shaman if she can create illusions and ask her to make me look dead a few weeks later , trick them to think I died because of the 'Demon' . It will need some acting .
Second , if she can do some mind trick she is to either trick them with some religious nonsense or make them believe I have never existed , don't think this will happen .
Third , I'll escape with her . High risk , high return .
"I want to talk to her in private." I said.
There was a stop , my family trusts my intelligence and they probably think I'll convince her to go away.
Now dad nodded , we went to some empty room .
I ask the shaman girl to lean towards me and whisper to her
"Make them not hear us ."
If she can't even do it she isn't worth following .
She nodded and took some sort of buckle from her hair . The buckle turned into a stick that looked like Monkey King's fighting stick , not that colorful though . She made some moves and said some words then nodded .
"Done." she said
"Can I test it?"
She squinted her eyes , probably curious about my test method .
"Yes , go on."
I shouted "Help , help !!!!" She flinched with a strange look and jumped back like a cat , scared her for a moment I did.
No one came .
"Hmm, okay it looks reliable. "
"Yes, of course. What did you want to say kid , I don't know how to convince your parents . If you want to come I can kidnap you though ."
How bold.
I told her about my plans .
She said "I can't erase you from their mind , so the most possible one is you dying to a 'demon' , illusions are within my capability . "
Good.
"Okay let's do it . You make yourself look like some wise and mysterious religious elder 'male' if you get what I mean , and tell my family angels will take me or something just make them believe it. Can you do it at the end of the next week. Then I will die two weeks later of that . Feasible ?"
She stopped to think for a moment "Feasible ." she said. "You are clever , old hag was right to call you a snake afterall .Damn old hag !"
I furrowed at this , so someone knew about my existence . Scrying? "Some sort of divination?" I asked .
"You know about divination at this age. Clever ." she nods . "We will do as you say I hope your acting skills are good little one , if it somehow doesn't work , I'll just kidnap you ."
And she left without fighting my family and I just smiled .
Now , gotta start with my 'demonic possesion' acts from now on .
