the imprecation of wizards Read online

  Mojgan, “Oh, honey. You should learn it. You should forget everything.”

  Jill, “For what?!”

  Mojgan sighed and said, “When I married with previous Key Holder, I thought everything will become ok. But when he died, I became alone and he told me that he loves me! He was very young and I did not listen to my father and I married with him and he became new Key Holder, just for me! But now, I became an old woman! But I have to live for nothing. This is my destiny and tomorrow will be Fancy's destiny.”

  Jill looked at her and said, “Why didn’t you go?!”

  Mojgan wanted to answer to her, but came the sound of ring and she kissed Jill and went quickly toward down. When Mojgan opened the door she saw Gary who had a newspaper in his hand. Mojgan got the newspaper and looked to leading article which had written in it {the legislative parliament find its new chairman} and said, “Take the boy for cleaning the circle.”

  Gary bowed and said, “Yes my Lady.”

  Gary went out of the cemetery and embarked on his motorcycle. He sighed and turned on his motorcycle and he went toward the valley. After a while he reached to there but when saw a car near the valley was surprised and came down quickly and went toward the valley.

  Shamira and Mitra were near Mikhail and they were speaking happily together. When Gary saw them took a deep breath and went toward them. Mitra went toward him and said, “What happened?! Why are you sad?!”

  Gary looked at Shamira and said, “Who is she?!”

  Mitra, “She is my family.”

  Mikhail and Shamira came toward them and Mikhail said, “What happened?!”

  Gary tried to smile and said, “Nothing. We should go to the village now.”

  Mikhail, “why?!!”

  Gary looked at Mitra and said, “You should more be careful. If the hybrids had come, they would have killed you.”

  Before Mitra could answer to him, Shamira said, “I had told her, she should watch.”

  Gary looked at Mikhail and said, “Come with me.”

  Mitra stopped him and said, “You worry me.”

  Gary took a deep breath and said, “Don’t worry. I’m with him. We should hurry.”

  Shamira hugged sadly Mikhail and said, “Don’t worry sweet.”

  Gary looked at them surprisedly and Mitra said quickly, “She is just very kindly.”

  Mitra got Shamira and said, “We should go. See you later.”

  Mikhail smiled and said, “I hope.”

  They went and Mikhail embarked on the motorcycle while he knew that the topic will be bad, but he had no choice. When He hid his ring under the stone his feel became bad again. When they reached to the rivulet the sound of Linda's scream suddenly reverberated in his ear, but Mikhail tried to hold himself as it wasn't easy. Nobody was inside the village and Gary was driving very fast.

  When they arrived to Anahita's house, she had stood outside the house. When Anahita saw them, she wanted to stop them, but Gary continued his way and passed from her while Mikhail was trying to don’t look to her. But the status when became worse that they became close to the plaza.

  Suddenly the sound of parents' scream reverberated in his ear and he saw the scene of burning of his parents. Gary stopped and Mikhail came down while his head was paining badly and he could not move rightly and fell on the ground while was crying and was looking at his parents. Gary ran toward him and said, “Be calm.”

  But Mikhail was suffering badly and was crying while had gotten his ears with his hands. It was the first time that he had come to there after his parents' death. Gary was trying frantic to calm him but it wasn't easy at all. Gary looked to around himself and when he saw nobody is there, he hit to Mikhail's neck as he became unconscious.

  At this time, Anahita entered to the plaza as was crying and had gazed to Mikhail. When Gary saw her, got up quickly and ran toward her and said angrily, “What are you doing here?! Go home now!”

  But Anahita ran toward Mikhail and sat beside him and hugged him and said, “What happened for him?!”

  Gary ran toward her and slapped her and said, “Do you want to die?! Look at that body. He died because was amorous. You can not be in love with him.”

  Anahita said as was crying soundless, “Why?! You know nothing about love.”

  Gary slapped her and said, “Shut up! You are an ordinary girl and you don’t have right to have any feeling about him.”

  Anahita, “But I have.”

  Gary, “You saw that girl? She is his family and she loves him, so you must forget him.”

  Anahita looked at Mikhail and said, “But he doesn’t like her!”

  Gary, “May be, but he will love her later. You don't have any chance.”

  Anahita stared at Mikhail and said sadly, “You are right, she can. She is very beautiful and tall.”

  She could not say anymore and cried and she became far from them while was looking at Mikhail. When Anahita went out of there, Gary ran toward a corner of plaza where a gharry and shovel were at there. Gary looked at Mikhail and said, “I hope you don't see nightmare.”

  The sky was half cloudy and the sun had gone behind the clouds. Kenton was inside the courtyard with a big bludgeon as the hybrids had surrounded him. At the other side, seven-years-old Mikhail who his eyes were yellow was watching them from behind the window and his mother and sister had sat frightened in the corner of the room and Linda was crying while had worn the same beautiful dress which had at the festival.

  The hybrids attacked to Kenton and they broke his bludgeon with their nails. When Kenton fell on the ground Mikhail went out frantic of the room while his mother was saying, “No!”

  But Mikhail didn't listen to her and he went toward his father, but when the black hybrid saw him, hit him with kick and Mikhail was thrown backward on the ground. They hit Kenton until he became unconscious. At this time, twenty-seven-years-old Key Holder entered to the courtyard and he drew his cane toward the room ad said, “Bring my wife.”

  The hybrids ran inside the room and soon was heard Linda's scream and the hybrids took out Linda of the room. Mikhail wanted to attacked to them but the black hybrid hit him again as he became unconscious this time.

  Mikhail jumped from sleep while was breathing hardly and Gary had sat beside him and Mikhail face was red for slap. Gary looked at him and said, “Be calm, your ring is in your hand. I have to go now.”

  Mikhail looked at his ring and said, “Ok. I’m fine now.”

  Gary got up and went toward his motorcycle and went toward the cemetery. Mikhail had not any bad feeling but he was still sad for his parents. He tried to get up but at once he shocked with seeing something as his mouth was open. At his opposite was a small, thin, strange, Japanese girl who was very much beautiful as was like an angel and her dress and her hair were blue. She was seeming eight-year-old, but her face and body were showing older. When she became close to Mikhail said coldly, “Hi. I'm Aiko, dolly of Shamira.”

  Mikhail, “what?!!”

  Aiko, “I'm not a human, but I'm like a human now.”

  Mikhail who had become more confounded said, “Please say easier.”

  Aiko looked him and said, “Never mind. Do you want to play with me?”

  Mikhail thought a little and said, “But I don't know, how I should play!!”

  Aiko sat on his thigh and said, “Fondle me.”

  Mikhail stayed no move for a few seconds until Aiko got his hand and said, “Take out your gloves and fondle me. My hair, my face, my body. ”

  Mikhail, who did not know what he should do, took a deep breath and he brought out his gloves. When he touched Aiko said surprisedly, “But you are really!”

  Aiko smiled and said, “For now, yes.” But Aiko became silent and thought a little and then she looked at him surprisedly and said, “You give me a very good feeling! Why?! Nobody can do it with me, because I have not any feeling!”

  Mikhail looked at her and said while was confounded, “Believe me, I
don't know anything.”

  Aiko turned and looked at the ring and said, “This is very beautiful and strange, and I can feel it. Is this yours?”

  Mikhail, “Yes!”

  Aiko, “Do you have a good feeling about me?”

  Mikhail thought a little and ashamedly, “Yes! But I don't know why?!”

  Aiko laughed with her nice voice and said, “Because you are a boy and I'm a girl. Do you touch a girl before?”

  Mikhail wanted to say something but did not say and Aiko looked his eyes and said, “So, you did it. Now, tell me. That had a good feeling?”

  Mikhail who had become ashamed against her, got his head down and said, “You know very things!”

  Aiko fondled his face and said, “May be, but you genuinely don't know very things!”

  Mikhail became silent again because he did not know what he should do now. Aiko looked at him and said coquettishly, “Hug me. I like this feeling.”

  But Mikhail stayed motionless and he was just looking her. Aiko became sad and said, “Why don’t you hug me?! I never had any feeling before. But I want to have feeling. Please, hug me.”

  Mikhail looked at her sweet face and hugged her. Aiko became happy and hugged him. But it did not take much and after a few minutes, Mikhail looked at the sky and said, “I'm sorry, but I have to sleep.”

  Soon his eyes became close and he fell on the ground and Aiko slept with him.

  Chapter six:

  **

  Seven-years-old Mikhail had slept on the ground at a large basement which was almost empty as his face was wet of tears. The black hybrid was near him and the basement was luminous with three lamps. Except them, at there were four another men. Three chairs were near Mikhail that two middle aged men called Heaton and Belden were on those chairs and at the center of them was an old man. Two men had tall, green robes and the old man had a very beautiful, costly red robe.

  Twenty-seven-years-old Key Holder was near Heaton who was younger than him. Key Holder had her black robe and his golden cane was in his hand. The green men had two golden ribbons on their hats and the old man had six ribbons on his hat and all of them were looking to Mikhail. After a few moments, the red man said with impatience, “Could you tell me when will work your imprecation?!”

  Key Holder tried to smile and said, “It already started, Excellency lawmaker. My imprecation is beginning with sleep and when his nightmare finished then he will wake up. Unless waken him someone with hit.”

  Heaton looked at him and said, “What exactly do your imprecation?”

  Key Holder, “Excellency secretary, the imprecation of red dream will show bad memoirs to accursed person with a full reality as he will suffer badly. He will be seeing a nightmare six hour after another nightmare. Indeed this imprecation is a perpetual suffering.”

  Belden looked at him and said, “If somebody had not bad memory?”

  Key Holder, “Well, we will make some bad memory for him.”

  Lawmaker, “If he escapes what?”

  Key Holder, “Well, it is vain, because he will be suffering likewise.”

  Belden looked at lawmaker and said, “If they can abrogate the imprecation, what?”

  Key Holder became angry and said, “Nobody can cancel my imprecation!”

  Key Holder beckoned to the hybrid and he hit to Mikhail with his whip and Mikhail jumped from sleep as was breathing hardly and his eyes were red. The Lawmaker looked at Belden and then he looked at Key Holder again and said, “If he wants to kill himself what you will do?!”

  Key Holder, “He will not do it!”

  Lawmaker, “Do you will guarantee it?!”

  Key Holder thought a little and said, “Well, they have not any value for us!”

  Lawmaker got up and slapped him and said, “Of course they have! We need to them for the hybrids garrison. If they will want to kill themselves then we will not have the hybrid. I came here just for respect to your father. Otherwise your ambition is nothing for me. So long as I am the Chairman of parliament your imprecation will not pass.”

  The Lawmaker went out angrily and Belden went happily after him, but Heaton wasn't happy and went toward Key Holder and said, “I told you, he was enemy your father and you must wait until he goes.”

  Heaton smiled and went out as Key Holder was very angry and looked at the hybrid and said, “He must stay alive until that day, understand?”

  The hybrid bowed and said, “Yes my Lord.”

  **

  Key Holder was on a chair which was opposite the mirror while he had worn nightclothes. The room was almost luminous with a lamplight and Fancy had slept on the bed. The clock showed seven o'clock. After a while, Fancy woke and when she saw Key Holder got up sadly and went toward him and she bowed and said, “Forgive me my Lord.”

  Key Holder sad coldly, “Today is day the Promise of helots, and I don't become furious from my wife.”

  Fancy went toward a clothes closet which was in the corner of the room and removed his clothes. Fancy helped to Key Holder to wear his clothes as was very happy, but Key Holder was nonchalant. Finally Fancy put Key Holder's hat on his head and said, “My Lord be lasting.”

  Key Holder, “I wasted thirteen years of the best years of my life here, just for a stupid old man. Why should I be lasting?!”

  Fancy became sad and said, “I hope he dies.”

  Key Holder moved toward the door and Fancy ran toward it and she opened the door quickly and bowed. Key Holder went out and entered to the corridor. At the end of the corridor was a door which an image of a black snake was on it. When Key Holder arrived near the door he drew his cane toward the door and the snake started to move and then the door became open.

  Behind the door was a spiral stairway which was going to the tower. When Key Holder entered there at once the tip of his cane became luminous. He went up until reached to the cubicle of tower. The tower had four window that he could see everywhere from there. At the top was a big, black bell which unintelligible, golden words had written on it.

  Key Holder Looked at his around and raise his cane toward the bell. Soon the bell started to move and with the first sound, a black, strange wave erupted from the bell and fell down and then it diffused to everywhere like a flood. With each bell the wave was erupting from it and was moving after the previous wave as were indiscrete. The bell stopped after twelve times.

  Key Holder could see a shadow of the hamlet at the right side of the cemetery. The interval of village till there was much but Key Holder was seeing it from there and the black wave was moving toward it like a flood. When the wave arrived to the village pervaded in there. Key Holder was looking happily to that scene but when he turned his head toward the hamlet his smile vanished.

  When the wave was arriving to the hamlet at once was stopping, it seemed that was hitting to a dam. Key Holder hit sadly his cane to the floor and disappeared and then he appeared out of the cemetery, beside the door. He drew his cane toward the door and opened it and then he looked at two rooms. After a few moments, two hybrids came out of the rooms and they ran toward Key Holder and bowed. After them two housekeeper women came out of the rooms and went toward the black house. Key Holder looked those housekeepers and then looked to the hybrids and said, “When they came, go to the village and kill anybody who was there.”

  The hybrids bowed and said, “Yes my Lord.”

  They went and after a few minute they reached to the people who were coming toward the cemetery at a queue. They had worn black clothes and each family had some gift in their hands and they were happy while black auras were around them. Gary, Anahita and Mikhail were walking at the end of the queue and a small, black spray was in Gary’s hand. Anahita had gotten Mikhail's hand as her head was down and the others were not looking at them.

  When the hybrids passed from them the aura of Mikhail disappeared and Gary spray quickly some black thing to him and the black aura appeared again. Gary closed his head to Anahita and said lowly, “Please leave his hand, we are reaching now an
d if Key Holder sees you.”

  But Anahita looked at him sadly and said, “I know that, but if you want to bother me, I scream.”

  Gary took a deep breath and said, “You are very selfish.”

  Anahita closed herself to Mikhail as he became ashamed while he was not becoming before. When they became close to cemetery Gary got Anahita’s hand and separated her and said lowly, “Go near you family and.”

  Anahita looked at him and said, “I know.” Anahita looked at Mikhail with smile and said, “You were different today and I like that.”

  She kissed him and went toward her family as the others were like the robot and they were not realizing anything. When they reached to Key Holder, he stretched his right hand and they one by one bowed and kissed his hand and then they went toward the golden tomb, although Mikhail hated from this work, but Gary had forced him.

  When all of them entered to the cemetery, Key Holder went toward the golden tomb. The people were opening way for him. Soon Fancy, who had worn a beautiful dress with Mojgan and Jill came toward the tomb as Jill was sad and her aura was weak. Fancy stood at opposite Key Holder while Mojgan had taken Jill at among the crowd.

  At the other side, Mikhail was moving sadly toward a well which was behind the black house. Mikhail had no interest to see them and when he reached to the well started to rotate the handle of it. Behind the house were many buckets that Mikhail started to fill them while Key Holder was opening the golden lock of the tomb with his golden key. Inside the tomb was a big maze which after one turn was reaching to black water. There was half-dark as had made a horrid space. Key Holder looked at them and said, “Give your gift to the wizards of tomb until they show mercy to you and your harvest become lot.”

  The people went inside the tomb and they were throwing their gift in the water as Key Holder was looking at them happily. After a while, they came out of the tomb and went toward the graves while Mikhail was putting the water bucket near the graves and Anahita was trying sadly to hide herself among the people. The people started to clean the graves and Mikhail went toward the well. He removed the latest bucket and returned toward the graves.
