Chapter 129 - 129. A Black Booklet



After a few minutes, the same chanting was resounding inside the cave. The difference now was that Mack and Lorin were holding a black booklet. The booklet itself was very thin, with only a few pages, but the black cover grabbed the attention of Mack, because in its middle there was a drawing of an eye surrounded by a circle and a triangle, both made of small rune letters that Mack was unable to recognize, only one familiar rune stood out and was the most powerful rune that Mack knew so far, it was the rune of Law.

Runes were like that, if you didn\'t knew the uses it could simply pass as common \'text\', only by knowing how to apply them in circuits would someone be able to use them, Mack was not someone naive, he guessed the organization knew its meanings or at least its uses and had a reason to put them there, it was not just a simple \'cool cover\'.

Once the chanting stopped, Mack and Lorin begun reciting what they were told to, "I , from this day onward, will follow the principles and rules in this book in my hands, only death will release me from this vow", once they said those words they dripped blood over the eye, that suck it all as if was a sponge, and they walked back.

Hearing the vow was finished, the healer put his left hand over the eye, and said, "Welcome to Horus", and then put the eye inside the small box and inside his pockets.

"Its finally over, you now are part of Horus, we don\'t do parties for new members neither we have any kind of secret handshake", said the overseer half joking while patting Mack shoulder and retrieving the booklet in his hand. He than looked at Lorin and she quickly gave her booklet too, 

The overseer put the booklets over a few boxes by his side and a second later they started to burn in bright red colors, once the box burned, Mack could see that inside them there were more booklets, it was probably one to every single person that joined the trial.

Mack was not sure why was one booklet for each person, but he guessed that they could not use the eye so easily, otherwise they could simply do the ritual one by one or do it at some kind of HQ instead of in the middle of nowhere.

\'Must have some restrictions when using the eye\' Thought Mack, but didn\'t ponder too much over the question and put it at the back of his head.

A few seconds later and seeing the pile of booklets was already ashes the overseer looked back and said to everyone, "Now, lets depart, first the crew and than the new members, I will hold the magic circle and be the last one to leave."

Hearing the overseer, the crew of the ship immediately went atop the magic circle, and waited for it to be activated, the overseer went to the circle, put a few essence crystals, and changed a few runes, Mack could see they were coordinate runes, but had no idea were they would lead to.

After a few more procedures, the overseer tapped a rune using a staff and the magic circle activated, and the ship crew disappeared from Mack view.

"Your time old friend" Said the overseer looking at the healer.

After the same procedure was done, the healer too vanished, and only Mack, Lorin, and the overseer stood there inside the cave.

The overseer took a look at them and as if remembering the day he joined this organization, he said, "It must all be a little too much for you guys, but it will be worth, Horus is a very trustful organization, we are very demanding to who joins and that\'s the very reason why we will never use you as cannon folder, and if you do proper contributions there is nothing that cant be acquired for you, be a revenge, or a mystical item, or techniques, anything, you just need to follow the rules and gather enough contributions."

Mack and Lorin both gave a small nod at same time and stood silent, Mack had an idea of what Horus was, but Lorin, she was probably just thinking of riches and to have her fingers and leg healed. She was as ignorant to the whole thing as someone could be.

"Now, its your time. The both of you, together, you are going to the same place,  I already received the info about you, and a person will be waiting for you at your destination, due to the limited number of \'winners\' this time, you guys will not be joining a branch of the assassins division, but will be directly dispatched to a planet were a special mission will take place, any questions?"

Lorin took courage and asked the thing that troubled her more, "Sir, How can I be an assassin? With arms and legs like this? Even if I was 100% healed, I\'m not an assassin, I never trained for such things"

The overseer gave her a pondering look, and than looked at Mack, and said "You will be his support", he looked back at Lorin and said, "We don\'t have only assassins at that division, we have personal responsible for information gathering, infiltration, manipulation, support, drug dealing, arms dealing...." the overseer took a pause and said, "Anyway, the one telling all this should be your superior not me"

Lorin saw that Mack didn\'t had any question and then asked, "Do you know who our superior will be? Can we know his name at least before we teleport?"

The overseer gazed at Mack and than his gaze changed back to Lorin and said, "His name is Harlack"

Lorin could only nod at that information, without knowing anything about what was truly happening behind the scenes while Mack showed no expressions, as if that information was irrelevant to him.

"Now lets teleport you guys out of this planet, there are still people from the mage alliance searching for us, its better to not delay anymore"
