Bastet clapped her hands, "Okay! and I think that's okay for now. We have been talking for some time now, you must be hungry." "But I am not yet done, there is still a lot he must know about..." Mr Walter protested. "And I agree, but as they say, Rome was definitely not built in a day. Besides the young master has had nothing to eat and must be hungry,". She interrupted him, "Am I right master Derek!?" She looked to Derek. Derek nodded in reluctance. Deep down, he did not want to stop. The lesson was so interesting that he had totally forgotten about food. "Come with me please. Am sure my acolytes have prepared something nice for you."  She lead the way out of the library while Derek and Mr Walter followed along. They passed a few doors that lead to a magnificent hall with broad artistically designed tables all around. The hall had chandeliers that did not seem to be connected to the ceiling but just floated high in the air from o

"We are going to be addressing basic runes." Bastet continued The first of basic runes is the Primary runes. Primary runes are in themselves matter in general. we call them primary runes because there cannot exist or function alone. there has to be an association of other runes like them or different runes for them to take effect. In truth, humans have almost discovered this rune, but they call it an atom and a combination of them, molecules. The next is Foundational runes. There is the string that holds primary runes together. Basically, the force that holds matter together. There are the pillars on which all primary runes stand. The third is Elemental runes. Now these runes as their name implies, are the elements in their purest form. There are divided into Air, Water, Earth, Light, Fire and Lightning. In truth, the last element was not initially thought out to be an element of its own but a subelement. Over a period o

It was the early hours of the morning. Derek woke up to a loud knock on the door. He lazily came down from the bed and acknowledged the wake-up call. It was Lydia..."Master Derek," She bowed, "Mr Walter would like you to join him in the training room. I have prepared attire for your session. It is in your closet." She stated and turned around to leave without a reply from him. Another five minutes and Derek was out in the training room. For some reason, he felt very uncomfortable with the tight pants and continued pulling at them. They gave the illusion that there were glued to his skin. In the training room, was his friends, Bastet and Mr Walter. It seemed like he was the last to appear. Bastet was having a conversation with Mr Walter, but on seeing him, She bowed as Mr Walter also followed.Derek did not know how to respond. It had only been a day, he was still very fresh to this whole 'Writer noble' of a thing. Should he bow or wav

Bastet took several steps back. And sat on the floor, in a very carefree manner. It was very different from how she carried her self usually. Tiny and the others thought she was doing it in regret of her earlier actions. Her fingers kept on shaking and she hug herself to hold back her emotions. but her eyes were getting moist with tears. She suddenly got up and reached for Derek. Pulling him out of Tiny's embrace and into her own. She stood up and disappeared out of the room with him in her hands.  It was happening again. It had been a long time since the last one. But something was different this time around. It was that Derek knew it was happening. This time around, he saw himself as a wealthy businessman. One that had accomplished schemes and tricks to enjoying the sweet position he now sat. Anybody in his position should be happy, but he was a sad man. His children had all ended up being a nuisance to society. They all lived

 Derek sighed. He was at a loss for what to do. He paced the room back and forth but could not think of anything. Then a question popped into his head. "How can a Writer annul the contract?" "It is easy really. According to my research, you just need to leave a soul rune imprint on the symbol of the contract." On hearing this, Derek's eyes brightened. If It was just leaving a soul imprint then that was easy. All he needed to do was find a way to get in contact with Kareem. All the while he had been studying on runes. He had been interested in soul imprints when Walter told him about his father's soul imprint on the family plane and made a few research here and there to be sure he was still alive. Soul imprints were very easy to give. It was like leaving a bloodstain behind. It really did not affect the Writer much and was far easier than resonating with runes. The only downside was that he needed to physically leave the imprint
