With a brisk pace he reached the table and kicked the chair away,He felt the cover, it was a finely made, with an adept but shaking hand he opened it as it flicked through it he couldn't read any of the words but it was filled with scrawlings ,as he lifted it for a closer inspection a letter fell out with a wax seal ,inquisitively he tore it open and read,these words which seemed to be scrawlings at first seemed to just meld to something, legible, like a fragment of unknown one word came to mind ,English, he didn't know what that meant but he could somehow read it

To whom who reads this ,forgive me for what i have done is unforgivable but know the mantel you now hold can forge a path,a path you only can take, forgive me for the price you have paid is great but nothing comes without a price and I even though my heart guilt filled knows the price is not as great as the bounty you will reap if your successful in holding this mantle.
Your's sincerest Elder Leon
memoria, ut memoria tui

As he read those last 4 words a pulsating orb of greyish light came out of the letter, its glow was alien and he gawked at its ,he reached out for it and it passed through his hands and as he tried to grab it ,it phased through all attempts it reached the top of his head ,confused he looked up
It suddenly went in and with a lurching shudder he stumbled back and stumbled back knocking the book over open
His mind was being overwhelmed by memories which felt foreign which raced, he tried as he might to fight the incursion on his mind but the tendrils just dug deeper.
He now layed sprawled on the floor eyes rolled back.
