OUROBOROS

« This symbol was more viewed among the Egyptians. The symbol was on papyrus and coffins. It circular form prompt divers interpretation from Egyptians . They symbolize it as the cycle of time and eternity. The Ouroboros was sometimes represented encircling the sun emerging on the horizon of the sky , it was from then on seen as a symbol of rejuvenation and resuscitation.  It's the reason why the symbol appear on Egyptians coffins.»

« Moreover since it's eating its tail , they also considered it as a symbol of autodestruction and annihilation.

But all is not negative on that symbol. It was also considered as a protector, so it's a symbol of hope and renewed .

The Ouroboros could signify , the sky and earth , day and night or either Good and Evil. »

''Huh?''

« The first great alchemist Greco-Egyptian made this famous formula »

ONE (is) THE WHOLE , BY HIM THE WHOLE AND TOWARDS HIM (RETURN) THE WHOLE ; AND IF ONE DOESN'T CONTAIN THE WHOLE , THE WHOLE IS NOTHING.

After finishing reading the sentence she closed the book. She kept the others books and went with the other that contain the information on the Ouroboros.

When she got out of the room , it was already the evening. She climbed in her chamber, sat on the bed, she doesn't know why but that night she felt sleepy and went to bed.

Edward was back , he tried hard to forget the image of April and Sir laurent especially what sir laurent said.

He called for the two guards that accompanied her that day and asked them questions. The two guards told him that effectively they went to Laurent's mansion but her highness entered alone and she ordered them to wait in front of the gate.

''Okay , you can leave '' he ordered.

The men turned and left.

{ What are they treating ?, it's not the first time that I'm seeing them discussing}

With that thought the man went to bed.

In the morning he wake up , breathless and pale as usual. He had that nightmare again and again. Not even the drugs and potions of the royal Medecin will do something. He father once told him that only his mate chosen by the flower of Eden will calmed it but his mate is already there , he still couldn't slept well too , is it because they haven't yet copulate ? He asked himself .

He get up from the bed , the servant prepared his bath and the maids brought his food.

He was still putting on his clothes went someone knocked.

''Get in'' he said.

The girl entered .

''Good morning your highness '' she said

''Good morning '' he replied

The man had his shirt on his hand he was trying to wear it , when she took the shirt.

''Let me help'' she said.

She help the man. There was having a long silence , the room was so quiet that we could hear flies flying.

But April broke the silence with a question

''Why do you have so many tattoos on you?'' She asked.

At first she didn't want to ask questions about his tattoos but she got intrigued when she saw the same tattoos on Alec and she learned that all the brothers had it but moreover was what she learned about the meaning of the Ouroboros.

'' Because I like it '' he said simply

She started to closed the buttons of shirt one by one.

She stayed silent for two minutes then replied.

'' Well, it seems as if your brothers and you like the same thing '' she said.

''What do you mean?'' He asked curious.

'' All of you have the same tattoos '' she said

''The head of a wolf , the eagle and...'' she paused.

''And The Ouroboros '' She added.

Edward hold her two hands, stopping her from continuing.

''Where have you learned the name of the snake biting itself ?'' He asked looking at her deeply

''Not everybody knows the name of the symbol of a snake biting its tail'' he added

''I got so intrigued that I made some research on it'' she said

''How did you know that my brothers had the same?''

''I saw it on them'' she replied simply

He liberated her hands.

''Does all those tattoos meant something ? , do you have it for a particular reason ? , is it a souvenir ?'' She asked

He smirked.

''So many questions '' he said smirking.

''Your informations are wrong because not all of us have these tattoos '' he added

'' What? ''

''Prince Alban doesn't have those tattoos '' he said

''Why?'' She asked curiously

''Sometimes it's better not to find the answers to certains questions '' he said.

'' Except if the answers to our questions are necessary '' she said back.

He shook his head

''Don't you know that curiosity leads to dead?'' He said

Her eyes opened. It's exactly what Alec told her went she was to the point to entered in the dungeon.
