17.Gate of wisdom (2)

The more I read, the more it feels how inadequate and little I was. My existence was mere a tiny grain through all of the history written with black in these books, stroke by stroke.

Poison blood is a hereditary, inherited by female of Marracke bloodline. A long time ago, Marracke was among those who had fought to protect the border between two worlds. Something had happened after the third war between human and supernatural beings and turned the Marracke gone into seclusion. It wasn't after the fourth war that they came out and fought, pushing the supernatural to their new world and human to their world, drawing a line between two oppositions. It was then discovered that Marracke blood could kill any supernatural beings. And it was believed that they birth rate had decreased, and each generation bear only one heir. Since their blood kills supernatural beings, they could only conceive with human male as their blood doesn't react to human.

I huffed for the last bit. My eyes glint over that phrase. Could only conceive with human male,huh? Judging from what I am right now, I don't believe that even a little bit. Gathering from all my interaction, what I had learned from Laura and all the past assassinations... my parents death..

'The traits of Marracke bloodline:

-Blood red eyes

-poisonous blood

-alluring scent of intoxicating poppy and pure spring'

Brushing slightly on my left side eyes, I exhaled loudly. Blowing few strands of hair away from my face.

Short list of traits I see. It seems that they had less information about Marracke.

'Marracke blood are called as the Cursed blood, evil blood, elixir of doom and some had started to called them as the Tempests as they had come wrecking chaos everywhere they went like a tempest. Most of them were slaughtered and it was known that only one bloodline had survived the ordeal and went into hiding...' then the stroke of ink changed a little bit there. as if the author had a slight hesitation on writing it.

'Lady Reisha Marracke had broken her engagement with the Dark King and The White King long before she was afflicted with the poisonous blood. This had in turn had changed the whole world as it is. I am afraid that none will be spared of the rampage from within.. Lady Reisha had parted with us with her final words 'I am not for them. She will be borne a mix of amethyst and bloodstone. For your fate she hold'

I know to heed that as Lady Reisha was always known to be able to gaze a future where even the eye of time couldn't reach. I am waiting for that to come and wish that I could bear witness of what to come'

Well, there is nothing much I could learned from there.. I sighed dejectedly. I keep on flipping the books and soon came to types of beings recorded in the book. It was thick, ancient and would seems like it could crumble with a slight flick.

Nighter:

With their impossible black hair, they had three lives and amethyst eyes. The darker it is the more pure blooded they are. Known to wield mysterious powers. It is not known what type of power they possessed since they rarely put a show on it. And those who had bear witness to it, end up bringing their secrets to their death. Caution : run when met with one.'

That one was quite interesting. Scary but interesting indeed but I'm not sure I would want to meet one.. except... I reread the line and brush light at the corner of my right eyes. I scanned every books within the room. The room wasnt that big and it gave out sense of 'Important Room' that held secret information.

After what seems like few hours perusing through all of the books here, Esbar came through the portal.

"I am sorry Ms.Kea but the time is up. If you wish to read more, you can continue to do so on the general hall."

My eyes widen, and quickly checked my phone. One whole day has indeed passed and it was rather quickly that it surprised me.

"Thank you, Esbar. I think I got it all" I stood up and stretch slowly all the while letting my eyes skim through the last bit before closing it.

"You can just leave it on the table, as I'll put it back latter" I nodded.

"Thank you again. It helped me a lot"

"I surely hope do so, Ms. Kea"

He showed me the way back to the general hall.

"This card, can I used it any time I want or is it one time only?"

He look at me surprised.

"You can enter this library one time only unless you have the gate key authority to provide you another one. As it is, gaining one is really hard as I was informed by my people"

"Why it is?"

"You have to meet any king as they had the gate key. They control who can have access to the books here."

That didn't surprised me at all. Since, knowledges is equal power itself. I nodded.

If its like that then, I am going through as much as I can before leaving this place.
