Novel & Cerita Book 16 The Iliad

Clearing my thoughts, I focused on the book again but stopped reading aloud. When the boat reached the split that Achilles mentioned, I wasn’t sure how to ensure the boat kept to the right. I didn’t have an oar to help steer me. I also wasn’t going to chance touching the water since I didn’t know what dangers lurked beneath the water.

She approached it cautiously, her heart pounding with anticipation. "This book... it feels important," she said, reaching out to touch it. The moment her fingers made contact with the cover, the symbols flared to life, casting a brilliant light throughout the room. Kai, Allan, Lila, and Seraphina gathered around Alex as she carefully opened the book. The pages were filled with intricate drawings and cryptic text, written in a language none of them recognized. As they studied the book, a sense of urgency washed over them, as if the knowledge contained within was both powerful and dangerous.

My eyes water a bit at his words. My father reenters the room and gasps. I look up to see him staring at the book. "Do you know what that is. It is the first book that has ever been printed in our language. It is a story as old as time but talked about much." He exclaims. He looks so happy and shares my joy. We both love to read, and I know it has been a while since he got to read an actual book. It is a fine first gift, I think.

"This isn't what it looks like, right?" I heard someone say near me, or should I say Carla before she growled loudly.

“I’m sorry I didn’t pay attention Baba, I truly am. Please can you teach me about Morpheus?” I hoped my apology and pleading would work as it usually did without fail. My father clearly couldn’t pass up an opportunity to lecture me on his favourite topics so he set down his red pen and grabbed a thick, leather bound book from the bookshelf, placing it down on his desk with a resounding thud. The spine of the book crackled as he flipped through the pages, his fingers finally coming to rest on a page entitled “The Oneroi”.

The heavy iron door creaked open, revealing stacks of ancient scrolls and books, their pages yellowed with age. Lillian barely breathed as Aedric reached inside, pulling out a single worn leather-bound tome. He turned back to her, holding it out. "If you want answers," he said quietly, "then read." Lillian hesitated for only a moment before taking the book. The cover was smooth beneath her fingertips, the leather cracked with age. There were no markings—just a simple crescent moon burned into the surface. She slowly opened it, her heart pounding as she scanned the first lines.

He adored that about her, she did not dwell on what other women would have seen as flaws. "I'm intrigued by your choices. What makes you think I would be interested in science or philosophy?" "You struck me as an intellectual reader, not one prone to frivolous reading such as books on sewing or manners." "Manners?" Emily scoffed. "A rather bold claim coming from you. But these are all excellent choices. However, you've brought me too many." She pushed them all away save one, The Iliad and The Odyssey.

Ailduin goes to the book shelf where the Book of Prophecies sits in the center, facing forward, glowing with its magical light. He pulls it from the shelf and looks at me. “I think it’s time we all accept this this book of prophecies is about you, Lily.

I replied, staring back at both of them. Selene fell back on her chair, face twisted in annoyance. Mr Lucas stood up, walked inside and few seconds later, he walked out. In his hand was a huge book, it seemed old and had this eerie feeling. “What’s that?” I asked, stretching my neck to read what was written on the cover page but it was written in a strange language. “This,” He replied with a weird grin on his face as he dropped the heavy book on the floor. “Is the book of prophecies. In here contains all prophecies that has been released by the moon goddess.” He explained, glancing from I to Selene.
