Lands of the ancient

*standing up, i take the defensive stance again, swipe quickly at the legs, not touching them, and i back uo out of reach*

i run to the side, using the smae technique, but this time i roll behind him and takcle him, i stand on his arms and hold the knives to the back of his throat* let me guess... dead?

im a bit exhausted... isn't dinner soon anyways? its been what, like 45 minuets? anyways... there is something i want to train YOU in. come on! *he holds out his hand with a large smile on his face*

*he runs through the castle, up into a wing that did not seem to be there before... he enters a door, and a whole bunch of ancient texts of unknown languages... and some things he wrote himself (which are eveident what part of life he wrote them in... especially the ones from when he was five.)* i wanna teatch you how to decode and decipher. trust me, with some of the things in those caves, its going to be MORE than useful.

no... not royal... these are all things i collected... when the king would send me to the outskirts, alone. i had plenty of exploring and digging time. i found all of these texts.... *over near the end, some rather... differently colored books are set together. upon noticing his (hopefully) new friend looking at the books, his face turns into a small frown* those are strictly forbiddon from being looked at... only certain eyes are allowed to glaze the words of those tomes, understood? *shakes his head* sorry.... just stay away from those, ok?

i am going to teatch you to decipher these texts.... we are going to start with the alphabet of the easiest one yet; ruinic. here. *hands him a paper like this vikings.phillipmartin.info/vikings_alphabet.gif * now, *pulls out an about 2-page long booklet* try to memorize then decipher this memoir.... it was directly before a great war that we didn't even know about!

no no, not at all! i am teaching him to decode these *shows him the ruinic paper* if we are going to visit ancient caves that were explored possibly thousands of years ago, ancient texts are a garuntee.

BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING TO NEED TO LEARN TO DECODE!!!!! what if i am a little behind, and you guys need to open a door asap?! these texts are all in ancient languages, so i wanted to teach you the ways of deciphering.... what if this is all a major conspiracy? like the king is actually a civilian who murdered the other? honestly, this is extremely important. plus, these are all mine, so i can kinda show them off if i wish.

i found some texts that were actually translated to ours before that great war, and i slowly deciphered from there on. the others were ALOT more difficult.... there are a few that have remained undeciphered, and some better that that not happen.... with certain people. i really owe mirentis for this place and collection. he came with me fore every expedition, and he was really only acting serious when we found- never mind, i spoke too much about it already. anyways, he is more of a father than my stepdad- er... the king... he dosn't like the though of me calling him stepdad.... since we arn't blood and all.....
