The Lrna Codex

Chapter 1 – Prologue.

The Seven Gods of the world have all but known about the other dimensions that surrounded the world that they had created. Even the almighty UL was aware of such a fact as this. Gods, no matter what were not limited to only them and others that were not as close to them to bother about their presence, had surely created worlds similar to the one that they had. Hence it has not came as much as a surprise then a complexity when Belgarath the Sorcerer approached his God, Aldur about a strange prophecy that was seemingly impossible in the sorcerer's point of view.

"Master, I don't think what is mentioned in that Codex is true is it? I mean most prophecies are mostly absolute blabberish made by some mad-man anyway." Belgarath asked Aldur. He had been on a rare visit to Aldur's tower in the Vale, and had spotted it on the immaculate table of the God. Immediately recognizing it as one of the Codexes he had gone through during the search of the Mrin Codex. (which held the prophecy to the destruction and death of Torak, the Maimed one, by the King of Riva, Belgarion) Curious as to why Aldur had taken an interest in it and mostly on the reason that if what ever is in there is true and Aldur wanted to act on it, it will be his work to get it done as usual.

"Why, Belgarath? Is such a thing as alternate dimensions something so difficult to grasp? I don't think Belgarath, I know. This prophecy is as real as the Mrin one is. However…." Aldur paused a while scanning the scroll that Belgarath was looking at.

"What is it?" Belgarath sighed, knowing that if Aldur says damn thing is true it most likely is.

"We only have half of the prophecy….my guess is that the other is in the other dimension." Aldur answered.

"Then we have to find the other. I didn't think dimension hopping was on the job description." Belgarath sighed as he took another swig from his ale.

"No, you are as helpless as I am on this one. I have absolutely no idea what other dimension is mentioned in this prophecy. The things mentioned here are a bit out of my grasp even for a God. I am however certain that the one that will be arriving will be able to do sorcery. The God of the traveling one is Merlin, and to my knowledge, Merlin was a sorcerer before he became God. Well, at least that's what I heard."

Belgarath heaved a sigh of relief. He was much too old for such traveling already. However he knew that he still had to prepare for it and there was much to do. "So how are we going to know who is the one? The only thing said here is that the guide of our world will receive the arrival of the one of Merlin, which, will head off in par with the Godslayer to prevent the rising of an evil not lesser than the child of darkness."

"Well, who do you know is the guide of the world?" Aldur looked at Belgarath sharply.

"How would I…..No it can't be…" Belgarath replied, finally linking two and two together.

"Yes, Prince Kheldar will be the one who will find the traveler."

"Well that's a relief." Belgarath answered. Aldur raised an eyebrow at Belgarath.

"At least the one searching will not be me." Belgarath answered. "I'll gladly give the job to someone else."

"That I'm sure. However you'll still have to find Kheldar, and from what I know he is rather indisposed of right now. You know that everyone will have to play a part somehow."

"I knew this peace was short lived anyway. Will Master require Polgara to go along?" Belgarath asked as he stood to leave.

"That will be for the best. Both Polgara and her husband, Durnik would be required to."

"So I noticed. It's a big reunion of some sort. I guess peace can't last for more than a few years." Belgarath answered as he descended Aldur's tower. "We'll set off to find Silk as soon as possible."

"Sent my regards to the boy, Errand. I know he's staying with Polgara. I think he is rather important in this."

"When is he never?" Belgarath mumbled as he went in the direction of his wife's cottage where Polgara has set up her home there with her husband.

Haha…well is a prologue so it's short. Or maybe I just can't write long passages….anyway this takes place after the Belgariad but before the Malloreon or should I say the Malloreon is not taken in context. However there will be bits and pieces that will be the same as the Malloreon like Polgara living in her mother's old house and Garion's son to be born etc. Well……Please review!
