CHAPTER I: THE CALLING

Even when the Spirit has shown Tembe that it meant no harm, Tembe was still cautious, he approached the spirit he had many questions to ask, but the first thing that came up was to ask about the glowing item in the chamber.

Spirit: Do you wish to know what these items are?

Tembe: Yes, I do, but how did you know what I was thinking? Tembe replied.

The Spirit didn’t reply but in the blink of an eye, the spirit teleport both him and Tembe to the hall of secrets where the patterns were created. The hall of Secrets was illuminated with crystals pillars of light, bordered with diamond rubies, sapphires, and all kinds of stones and gems. In the mids was a Tombo where the final patterns were placed to be transformed into magical artifacts with hidden messages and supernatural powers. Tembe looked around and was amazed by all the things he saw, he immediately felt on his face and said

Tembe: Why did you bring me here I’m not worthy to be here my people still suffer in the land captivity the king will find me and put me to be hanged for what I did. they conquered, destroyed my people, Am I dead?

Spirit: Calm down young one, don’t be afraid Tembe, your not dead. I am the spirit of virtue I was put in the chamber by the ancient ones to guard and wait on the chosen one.

Tembe: Am I the Chosen? Tembe ask.

Spirit: Enke Fai Taki. I am here to be your guardian for the upcoming events.

Tembe: What events?

Spirit: Soon you shall find out Tembe.

Tembe looked around but didn’t see any entrance.

Spirit: This room of secrets doesn’t have doors it can only be accessed by the mind.

The spirit then brought them back to the chamber

Spirit: One day you will have the ability to enter that room by yourself Tembe

The spirit then gave Tembe a yellow reddish-looking potion to drink.

Tembe: what is this? Tembe ask.

Spirit: Drink up, be cleansed and renewed.

The potion bottle had two patterns on it they grow up tall but could be small they smell so pleasant and make a good present, one was green the other was red. those were The Tembe of Cleansing Rites and Renewal

When Tembe drank the potion he fell asleep, a few hours later he woke up and found himself in a desert. In his arm there was a garment with patterns imprinted on it, these were The Tembe of Growth. He tried to figure out what these patterns were before he could he saw a caravan in the distance closing in on him, it was a merchant from the west.

Merchant: how did you end up here young man?

Tembe: I don’t know, he said.

The old merchant offered him water a piece of bread and a ride to the city. Where am I? Tembe asked. In the desert of Kebulon, he replied.

Tembe: It can be! The whole lands of Kebulon were destroyed the people are held captive, only the temples remain nearby The kingdom of Filicia

Merchant: The kingdom was destroyed not land and some were brought to captive some fleed to the desert and mountains, and others sought refuge all over the multiverse. The temples near The Kingdom of Filicia was a place where the two Kings used to negotiate their relations. Until one day the King of Filicia got greedy and found powers beyond the imagination of the people of this realm. His powers came from the great celestial of lower dimension. He then started a WAR, he almost destroyed this whole realm but because of the Pattern of the Ancient one the King of Kebulon found a way to drain some of that power but it wasn't enough to defeat the King of Filicia. They never found the body of the King of Kebulon. some say that he may still be alive - the patterns gave the kings of Kebulon special powers and abilities.

So Tembe stepped into the caravan of the merchant. On the way to the city Tembe look once again at patterns  - they looked like the wheels of a car — there were also symbols on the garment and because of the potion, he could read the language of the ancient ones. He started to whisper very very quietly: GADOE A FESI, GADOE ABAKA! then the garment started to glow and sparkle, the merchant saw that and felt a chill he got a feeling that Tembe had stolen it from someone very important. So…when they reach the city he bid him farewell.

Merchant: Well...we've arrived, good luck son I hope you find what you're looking for, stay out of trouble, and return the garment to the owner he said.

Tembe: It was a give, thank you, for your kindness

After stepping off the caravan Tembe stood shocked at the entrance of the city he never thought that some of his people had survived after these many years.
