Chapter Two: The Story of the Trio
"A people without the knowledge of their past, history, and origin is like a tree without roots." –Marcus Garvey
"This makes no sense, I mean why is this 'knowledgeable' person necessary, and what do they do?" Eddie asked.
"I don't know, but who do you think it is?" KT asked.
"If it is one of us," Alfie started, the fear creeping into his voice, "I hope it's nothing like being a sinner. I've had enough of that."
"Alfie, if the trio is for good, why would The Knowledgeable One be evil?" Fabian replied, the logic and reason coming out with sarcasm.
"What if it isn't one of us, but someone else in the house?" Patricia asked.
"Yeah that's a good point," KT agreed.
"You know," Fabian said, "reading about the knowledgeable one might help." He opened the book, cleared his throat and began:
"This is the story of the Trio.
The Trio consists of three parts, each one is independent from the other, but they are also interdependent upon each other. Each has a purpose and they are all equally important in their own way. They were all formed in the times of Ancient Egypt when the gods realized that a group of reliable people needed to watch over the earth and protect it from evil. The three are just part of a spirit reincarnated into the next person. Whoever holds the part of the soul is their own person, but when the world needs them, they have a duty to react and help. The three parts are as follows:
The Chosen One- the person who protects the world from harm and evil
The Osirian- the person who protects the Chosen One and helps out when the Chosen One needs it
The Knowledgeable One- the person who has the wisdom of the ages; he/she holds the past of every person who has ever lived; he/she holds their knowledge, memories, feelings, etc.; he/she can also call upon the Chosen Group's past lives to understand how to handle certain situations
Each is important and without one, the world is out of balance. They are the ones that help maintain goodness among the earth. It has been shown that without them, the world would plunge into chaos.
This is the story of the Trio."
"Robert has left a note saying that there was more information, but wanted to get this basic part to us first," Fabian said after had finished the passage.
"What do you think this means?" Patricia asked, her voice was filled with curiosity.
"I think it means that we need to find The Knowledgeable One," Eddie responded.
"If this was so important, why didn't we know about this before?" Alfie said with much annoyance.
"I don't know. It seems like we've only found out as much as we know by trial and error, so this actually makes a lot of sense," Eddie responded.
"Great… research," Patricia said with sarcasm so great that it is impossible to describe.
"Thanks for the eagerness Patricia. Fabian," KT said, "it sounds like you get to do your thing."
"To the library…" Fabian said marching out of the room with vigor. The others laughed and followed him on his quest.
