Normal POV
Zak picked up the basket weaved into it was a picture of a wolf that was howling to a non-existent moon, a bat with outstretched wings, and a dragon shooting fire.
He looked at the inside and picked up the note that was next to the book he opened it and read, "This book was made for you it tells the whole story of your existence among cryptids I hope you find it helpful. ~Corey" There was a horrible drawing of a smiley face and a peace sign.
On the back of the paper was another picture of the wolf, Zak looked at the picture for a second more before he put it back into the basket.
"What does this mean?" Zak asked no one in particular as he started walking back to the house he walked through the tiny forest up the path and along the cliff. When he got to the house he automatically and almost robotically went to his room with no questions asked about the basket and set it down then he walked into the kitchen and made himself a sandwich when Fisk walked in.
There was a short awkwerd pause where Fisk just stood there and then he started shuffling around the kitchen to the fridge. Zak, half in exasperation and half in irritation, waved his arm out and lightly brushed his fingers against Fisk's fur.
"Rahhhggg" Fisk yelled out and turned to look at his brother who had an annoyed expression.
"Hi." Zak started to see what kind of response he would get.
"Yo" Fisk mumbled and avoided eye contact.
"You wanna play video games later?" Zak asked however Fisk just mumbled something softer than Zak could hear then left the room with some leftover chicken. He didn't even stop to heat it up.
Zak sighed and went back to eating his meal.
"I wonder if my parents and Doyle got any new leads yet I might as well check." Zak said once again to the air, it was quickly becoming his new bad habit, as he walked into the computer room where all three adults were on the computer absorbed in their work.
"Found anything new yet?" Zak asked looking at the computer screens over their shoulders.
"Nothing new," She said in a monotone sing-song voice," if we find anything we'll tell you" Drew said "Why don't you go play with Fisk?" Drew asked hopefully
"He has been avoiding me for a few days now because I'm Kur" Zak said looking down on the ground.
"I am so sorry honey anything interesting happen when you were outside?" Drew said trying to make Zak cheer up.
Zak hesitated he did not know why but he wanted to keep the book and the mysterious letter and book a secret, "No just an average day nothing new." Zak looked at his mom and smiled.
"Ok, how about I make you a nice breakfast tomorrow then I will tell you any information I find, alright?" Drew said smiling back
"Shure, thanks mom" Zak turned around and walked to the door and thought to himself, 'At least mom still cares about me Doyle and dad did not even look up or stop their work to listen to the conversation.' Zak sighed and walked to his room
When he got there he closed the door and sat on the bed by the basket he picked up the book inside and looked at it. It was red with a black binding covered in a gold vine pattern. It had a title on the front "The Original Family" underneath it was the picture on the basket. Above the title was a picture of a Naga and a Lemurian in fighting positions both looking ready to jump off the faded book and ready to kill each other. The book was math textbook size and it was lighter than it should have been, like it was filled with helium.
"So this book will tell me the truth about Kur, if he is truly good or evil" Zak paused and then slowly opened the cover, "This... This is weird the words are written in some kind of symbols but... I ... I can read them why can I understand a language I have never seen before?"
Corey: Dun Dun Dun
Zak: This is going to turn out good right? I am not evil am I?
Corey: *evil laugh*
Zak: Corey this is going to turn out good isn't it? Corey?
Corey: Don't worry it will turn out good
Zak: Whew
Fisk: exne ime irst aptar ukown auege (Next time First Chapter, Unknown Language)
