Capítulo 33: Chapter 33: Beyond the Final Lie
"To … to kill," the omega seems reluctant to say the truth.
"To?" Raven asked impatiently.
"Kill Elites," she finally replied to me.
"But they never eat human flesh, let alone blood!" I couldn't help but tell him.
"Wait for me, Alpha. I still have the last letter I received from my father right after he went missing," he said, lowering the dagger on the table and hurrying away.
Soon she returned again and held an envelope before handing it to me.
"Please, Alpha, as my gratitude for accepting my family and me, I will leave that in your care," she said.
I accepted the envelope as Stacey's book and notes rested on my lap.
As soon as I stepped inside my room, I immediately began to continue reading Stacey's notes.
"After carefully securing the missing page of Enoch inside my bag, I left the palace. My dog and I battled the weather and the night to survive. The voice has instructed me to go further. I abandoned my family and followed the voice.
"What do you think, Eisah? Do you think this is where the words written on the page are mentioned? It says a stone between the land and the ice. What do you think? We've been traveling for the past few months."
Eisha looked at me and then whined.
"I know, buddy. After this is all done, we will be going back home," I assured him while caressing his forehead.
We've been out in the desert for a couple of months. Eisah, my dog, helped me chase the wild animals that wanted to eat us every night. If we're lucky enough, I hunt for some food to eat to keep us alive. We never stay in one place as the voice urges us to continue.
On our way one morning, Eisah found a piece of clothing, and when I inspected it, we were suddenly surrounded by strange people I didn't know. I was tied down, and they suddenly took me to their home. I soon found out that the people who brought us our tribespeople. At first, I tried to talk to them. If they allow us to travel and reach our destination, I will return and promise them cattle for freeing us as soon as I meet their leader. He smiled at me and ordered his men to untie me.
He then started to say some strange words that I didn't understand. Lucky for me, one of his men translated it for me.
He said this follows:
"You were the chosen one that I have dreamt of. I apologize for what my daughter's made, and I hope you'll free her from her grave sin."
He then told one of his men to give me this dagger.
Even though I was skeptical at first, I received the dagger. And when I look at it, the blade combines red and silver.
I stopped reading and looked at the drawn image in the ancient book. I picked up the dagger Spade gave me and compared the two. The two look the same! As if the blade was pulled out from the ancient book. Even the markings are the same!
What the heck is happening here?
"The leader told me that the dagger was made from the materials they specifically collected and left under the intensity of the sun's rays. The stone is called labradorite that catches sunrays. And the other one was pure silver. My men gathered it for me, and it took me a week to forge it into a dagger. The handle, however, was made from a tree called Vata, a sacred tree that we use to fight against black magic. And when the dagger was made, my people and I chanted a spell to kill a Skinwalker," he replied.
I look at him with a big question mark on my face.
"Are you the voice that I have been listening to?" I asked him.
I saw him talking to the man who was standing between us. They converse in a language that I can't understand.
"Yes," the man replied to me.
"I summoned someone who can kill my daughter for me," he answered.
He saw that I was confused, so he smiled at me.
"I know you have been writing about your adventure," he said. The translator translated it for him. "I knew you saw the monsters wandering in your home, yes?"
I nodded to him.
"Those monsters are human-eaters," I replied to him.
The leader heaved a deep sigh.
"My daughter freed those monsters from the Dudael, a prison mentioned in the Book of Enoch," he explained.
The older man didn't make any sense, I was confused, but then I continued to listen to what he said.
"My tribe and I are the holders of the Book of Enoch before she took it from us. My daughter, who was a dedicated Navajo, as we call out for a tribe like that, was someone who discovered the forbidden book that wrote on one of the pages of the book. One day she suddenly left without a word and took the book with her. And when she came back, she wasn't her anymore. Along with her were three creatures that we knew well. That night, few of us escaped. She fed most of our people to the three monsters."
"But who are those creatures, and what did your daughter become?"
The leader heaved a sigh.
"She becomes the first Skinwalker who is currently commanding the three monsters. She travels with them. When we escaped her ordeal, we decided to battle with her. We are shamans and healers; thus, our knowledge about battling skinwalkers is far less."
"You're telling me that the first skinwalker was your daughter?" I asked him, shocked.
"She wasn't a skinwalker. The Skinwalker itself possessed her," he replied.
The older man stopped talking to catch his breath.
"Skinwalker is an entity who doesn't have its own body," said the man translating the old man's words for me. "It possessed someone whether they were animals or humans. In our leader's daughter's case, she was possessed and eventually owned her body by a skinwalker. In Enoch's book, Dudael is a prison for those watchers that were sinned. One of them was a former human who practiced black witchcraft, and her name was Ursula.
