Chereads / Seekers: finder of secrets / Chapter 13 - Story

Chapter 13 - Story

We entered my family home. I can't really make a guest stand outside as well.

"Umm, just sit there on the sofa. Do you want a drink?" I said.

"Well, anything works for me kid" he said.

So I grab some orange powder juice and pour it into a pitcher with water and mixed them well.

I grabbed some ice and placed it inside the pitcher and headed to mister.

"Sorry for the wait, here." 

I placed both our cups and poured his first and later mine as well. He dranked the beverage up until the half of the cup.

"Well then kid, let's get this session started."

"I will be in your care…" I said

"By the way, may I know your name mister?" I can't keep calling him mister forever.

Without a hesitation, he said his name.

"Dante. The name's Dante, kid. And sorry for not saying my name." And smiled.

"So what are we going to do?" I asked. I mean would it be the build up a good body first and we can start trope? Or throwing me out straight to the battle?

"Well, you need knowledge first. Before we start on the exciting parts, you must first know the history of us seekers." As he opened his suitcase revealing a worn down book.

He took it out and placed the book in the table.

This is going to be an interesting one.

"We seekers have been dated to be around 1,000 years ago or longer. We do not know much about our history except that us seekers are both warriors and guardians of the world. We have searched for any thing related to seekers and found only few. As if, they hid the existence of each other. The first recorded seeker is called, the progenitor. He is the very first human who gained the power of the spirits. He is a charismatic leader with great power according to the stories about him around the world. The progenitor holds powerful spirits with him. One shines blue, the other shines red. With the spirits, he created a new world where everyone can live in peace and harmony. He led humanity to prosperity yet, he was betrayed."

He showed the drawing of the said progenitor. He has a hood covering his face and people bow to him.

"The progenitor had a wife and several children. He taught his family about the power of spirits. And all of them, had one astral artifacts with them. "

He then pointed to a picture of the same guy with several children and his wife along side him

"The progenitor saw potential for his children on using the power of spirits to their will. Each one has powerful spirits in their grasp with different abilities. The children grew up in time and one of them had a different idea. She was called, the fallen child. I don't know why the word "child" is still there when they are adult but who am I to say."

"She have the spirit called Vespera . The reasons for why she did it is unknown. But, she was killed by her fellow siblings to avenge their father's death. Soon, the other siblings went on to become monarchs of respective nations after their mother's death. After that, no one knows."

"The organizations like the red eyes and sapphire stars are said to be created by the siblings. The purpose, not really known except to gather the artifacts together. But one similar objective most have is to keep the artifacts safe and away from evil hands."

And he closed the book with a smile. But something is bothering me.

"That's the story right dante? But what about the spirits or the vessels that they are bound to?" I asked.

"We do not know much about their origins, but what we can say is that they have been here longer than humans existed. As to how the astral artifacts work, the only that knows that is the siblings or the progenitor himself. After all, he was the one who created the artifacts and then gave it to his children." Dante said as he looks at me.

"Then, last question for now, do you know any descendants of any of the siblings?" I asked.

"Well, to be honest, yes. One of the living descendants or relatives is close with you kid."

I can confidently say that the descendants he mentioned are the Everharts.
