Diablo

Ed had just woken up from his sleep and was about to start his daily routine when he heard "hey lad you are a sound sleeper, did no one tell you snore loudly."

Ed was spooked and searched the source of the person who had spoken to him,but he couldn't find who it was. Just as he thought that it was just his imagination he heard it again "Man it has been so long , it feels good to be free from the bog."

Ed finally found out the source, it was the pouch he took off the skeleton.Ed immediately throw the pouch down and got into fighting position, but Ed realized that he didn't know how to fight a ghost.

The pouch spoke" Relax friend , i mean no harm and i am not what you think"

Ed replied" Then what are you?"

The pouch introduced itself " i am a treasure that developed consciousness that served a number of exemplary people and i had once served the most powerful human who ever lived but the last person who possessed me was murdered and i was lost to the world for about 800 years."

Ed said " How can i believe you, that your not a ghost and you bear no ill intent?"

Pouch replied " i cannot do anything , my only purpose is to store and guard the treasure within me and i am quite knowledgeable since i have lived for so long."

Ed said " guard treasure?, you didn't have anything in you "

Pouch said " that is a additional space used to fool others. only the person who signed a contract with me can access the original space"

Ed-" Hmm okay we will again talk afterwards my mother is coming here so don't talk lest she gets spooked."

pouch " she will not hear anything as i am communicating directly to your mind"

Ed " Telepathy?"

Pouch "yes"

Jenn enters the room and finds Edward spacing out. Jenn then wakes Ed from his thoughts and tells him to come have his breakfast. After she told Ed she left.

Ed obeys his mother and follows her to have his breakfast. Initially he had planned to spend time with his mom but he was intrigued by the pouch so he changed his plan.

After Jenn had left for work Ed once again communicated with the pouch

Ed" Its difficult to call you pouch do you have a name?"

pouch " I was called Diablo as my creator metaphorically went through hell to obtain my raw materials. I was made from the silk of a lava moth larvae"

Ed " what happened to your previous owner why was he murdered and can i become your new master?"

Diablo" Well if i want to tell you about my previous master then i have to tell you a really long story, and for forming a contract lets talk about that after i ask you some questions."

Ed found the pouch domineering but if it did indeed have a lot of knowledge he didn't mind about its attitude.

Ed" make the story short and tell me"

Diablo" very well then, i had been handed over from a master to a student for all my life. Around 50 years before the great war one of my masters passed me on to his student who would later become the strongest human in the history his name was Alfred Farlorn..."

Ed interrupted Diablo when he heard the name Farlorn "What did you say ....."

Diablo calmly cutoff Ed saying" if you have questions ask it after i finish the story"

Diablo then continued" When Alfred inherited me he was not so powerful but i got to witness the rise of the legend. He reached the realm of Half saint at the ripe age of 95 and still he fought for the human kind. You youngster who was born now 800 years after the great war will have no idea about him , and i am damn sure that you don't even know his name. During the war Alfred laid down his life to take down the enemy with him. Alfred didn't pass me on to his student as he didn't have time to teach a student. For all the time i knew him he was always fighting, he never had a friend except maybe me. Just as he was about to head out to the final battle he gave me to his son the next patriarch, but he ordered me only to form a contract with a exemplary member of the Farlier family. He knew his son was not capable but he never knew his son was so stupid. Alfred had clearly instructed his son not to engage in the political struggle that will brew after his death(after the end of the war), but his son didn't give a rat's ass to the orders and joined the game for the throne. Ultimately he was used, betrayed and tossed away by the first king of the newly formed country of Saurd who he considered his best friend.He had lost most of his families assets while supporting the king and lost everything. After becoming penniless one of his own concubine arranged to kill him and make her son the patriarch.He was ambushed near the border of the newly formed kingdom Saurd and all his possession robbed including the items he stored in me. I don't know what happened to that family after they tossed me along with him into that bog and i didn't reveal myself to Alfred's son too.

But yesterday you took me away from his grave and i could feel Alfred's Titan's might technique from you which he didn't even pass on to his son.So tell me who are you?"

Ed remained silent as he was taking it all in to digest, it was a lot of information.
