It seemed like a trance at first for the black out wasn't ordinary for when she awoke she tried to recover the lost memory of where she was.
Looking around she had found herself in an ancient library as torchlights illuminated the colour of her flame .
That was when it hit her,she was in the hidden library,but this was different from the one above.
The books in here seemed to be humming with life.
Each page written in ancient texts older than mankind itself.
The air was thick with dust as centuries of forgotten knowledge had been waiting for this very moment to breathe again.
Around the corners of the walls were lined with faded murals of celestial battles ,their cracked surface telling a story of an ancient war between God's and demons locked in eternal war.
The flicker of the torchlight made the painted warriors seem to move, an illusion which sent chills down her spine.
She moved slowly,her fingers caressing book spines thick in dust but language bold enough to see.
This still felt like a dream land,she read of this moments only in books and that was a really long time ago.
She still explored the corners of the library, looking for a clue or anything concerning the hidden knowledge and answers promised.
She was still going through all this when she came upon a book which lay on a table.
The book seemed to draw her as whispers seemed to emit from it.
It spoke multiple tongues which was captivating and enchanting, drawing her closer.
The book just lay there, the body on close examination was made of flesh,with symbols inscribed on it.
On opening the book, she found it to be empty,not a single word was written in it.
Something unlikely happened when she was flipping through the pages, she had a nose bleed and her blood dropped on the pages.
The drop of blood seemed to have awoken the book as it wrote on its own.
"I'm yours to use master". The book wrote out.
This scared Jackie as she backed out in fear,what was the meaning of this? Really she was beginning to run crazy.
"A talking book", of all the most unusual, unexpected,crazy or mind blowing stuffs to happen,it was this.
She swallowed hard, summoning up courage she peered into its pages as the fine writing still showed the message.
"Use the Quill". It wrote all of a sudden again to her.
She looked around and found a black quill laying just a few metres away from the book itself.
She could have sworn that wasn't there before,but it seemed to have appeared from nowhere.
She needed answers to the million questions in her head and this seemed to be her only shot at getting them, she wasn't going to miss the opportunity.
She picked it up but could find no ink,that was when it suddenly struck her, the book communicated with blood.
Realising this she bit her pinkie finger, causing a minor cut as blood seeped out a little.
The pain caused her to wince but the result was fruitful,she dipped the quill into the blood and wrote.
"What are you and what is this place?"
"I'm nothing but a humble servant to it's master, here to answer any questions sought, but beware for what u might seek might be your destruction". It wrote out to her again.
" Where is here then?"
" Knowledge of good and evil but only the chosen one hath ever ventured".
" I was told answers were in here where can I find them?"
" All the knowledge before mankind can be sought here, for it had existed before man and will continue to even when man seized to exist,but be careful for what though might seek might lead only to doom".
" I need answers about my powers and everything happening to me, where can I find it?"
" You need to seek the one eyed crow for its the eyes you just need to see".
" Where can I find the one eyed crow?"
" What thou seeks can be revealed to thee only if thou sought thy crystal ball all shall be seen".
" Where can I find the ball?" She asked anxiously.
" Be warned once more for knowledge shouldn't be abused, like it was before".
" Who had used it before? Was it a man or someone else?"
" That I can't reveal for knowledge was once abused before".
" Okay,where can I find the crystal".
" Only if thou art chosen, with eyes clear the crystal would be revealed to thee right where thy stand".
"How do I see it then?"
" Listen with thy senses for it only responds to energy and speaks in tongues and voices clear for only thy to hear".
Jackie stood silently,she hadn't quite mastered the art of her fifth sense as Diego had nagged her for being impatient.
Taking a deep breath she paid close attention to every single thing to pick out a voice other than her heart beat.
Still paying attention,she picked up a strange sound,she followed immediate so as not to lose it .
It led her to a mural of a demon being trampled upon by a mighty soldier.
She couldn't find anything out of order, but the energy felt strong.
Then she noticed symbols inscribed on it, the symbols were of ruins and not only did that one have it but all the murals round had symbols.
She took her time studying them round,the ruins looked familiar,it was the ones from her dreams.
Then she noticed something all the demons stared up and the God's down.
She looked up and found a symbol and looked down to find the same symbol.
She walked round this symbol until she found a David's star in the centre,which she touched .
This caused the ground to shake, causing her to lose balance a little.
The ground opened to bring up a massive circular table, strange ruins glowed faintly on its surface,arranged in a pattern that reminded her of a star map.
The centre of the table bore an inky black crystal just the size of her palm, pulsing with a faint light,it felt like it was watching her.
This must be the key to everything, finally she was getting answers.
She hesitated for a while,but as her fingers brushed on it.
A flood of visions came all at once, shifting her off balance as her eyes darkened causing her to cry blood .
She shrieked in pain and agony,as dark blood poured down her cheeks and gushed from her nose.
The vision was painful all she saw was destruction and crows all around her,the world was in ashes as she saw her loved ones dying a second time.
The pain rang in her head and burnt in her chest.
"Oh harbinger of destruction, sorrow hath been your second name since the beginning of time for you and the crow are one as your blood says so"
