Chapter 1: Introduction (The Book)
Two boys were walking toward the library. They looked like your ordinary teenagers, blue jeans and colored T-shirts. The black haired one had a scowl on his face. "I hate that guy," He said looking to his brown-haired companion.
"I mean, come on, write a ten page essay on uncommon mythology. Why must it be uncommon? Does he like to torture us?"
His friend sighed and then answered him calmly, "If you were paying attention in class Ahmed, you would have known that the point was to make the students read, otherwise all of them will write about Hercules or stuff like that".
"What's wrong with writing about Greek mythology, Alex?" Replied Ahmed, looking annoyed.
"Nothing except its being over used and everybody knows everything about them," Answered Alex.
"So, where is the problem in that?" Ahmed asked, looking confused.
"Didn't you hear what I just said? Mr. Smith wants you to read and expand your knowledge".
"But ten pages, TEN, that's just torture, plain torturrrre." Whined Ahmed.
Alex looked at him with a tired expression and said, "Can you please give it a rest? It's not like we need to turn it in after 5 minutes. We have a week before our next class with Mr. Smith, we're just going to the library to take a look, pick a book. That's it O.K.?" He said the last part in a tired tone.
"Okay, okay already, shesh you like to talk a lot man, but I still tell you that I hate that guy".
Alex chose to ignore the last comment as they entered the library, then he turned to Ahmed, "I'll go and sit there while you go and pick a book, so I won't have to listen to you whining about how bad or boring my choices are".
Ahmed just smirks, "You know I'm right" and then he went to the mythology section and started to check the titles moving his finger across them.
"Let's see now, The Journey for the Golden Eagle, The Path to the Hidden Jungle, The Truth of Flying Snake, The Story of Treasure Caves."
He gave a small sigh, "Man, can't they make the titles any less repulsive? I wish I've made Alex pick, then I would've nagged him about it, but he cornered me, that smart-knows-it-all, I'll sho…" but he didn't finish his though as thick leather book caught his eyes.
He didn't know why the book got his attention, because it was old (as in real old), big and green in color (all which he doesn't like). Yet still, he couldn't resist the urge to pick that book, which had no title at the side.
He picked the book and looked at the title, Irma's Tale: the Devil's Child or the Light of Meridian. He shrugged, took it and headed toward Alex, who seemed to be deep in thoughts.
"Thinking about Jenny, are we?" Asked Ahmed with a smirk.
Alex face turned a tinge of red and he stuttered, "Huh...Ahh...Sha...Just shut up Ahmed and show me the book you've picked".
Ahmed shoved the book in his face still smirking, when Alex saw the book, he raised an eye brow and took it with his right, "You really are in reading mood today, huh?"
"Oh just spare me your talk, will ya? I don't know what has gotten into me but I kind of felt as if it was calling me or something." He finished with an annoyed tone, his hand dismissing any further discussion.
Alex tried to keep a straight face, but was failing terribly. A vein started to throb visibly on Ahmed's temples "What's so funny?" at this, Alex lost control and laughed earning him a "Shhhh" from more than one of the people there.
"Sorry" He muttered then looked at Ahmed's still fuming face, "A book? Calling you? Man this got to be the end of the world".
"Oh knock it off already and let's read this damn book".
"Okay. Okay, here we go." Alex opened the book and started to read.
