Chapter 204 - The Ancient Prophecy (1) (2/2)
”Is there a specific criterion to be the chosen one? And where does this chosen one story originated?” I asked the questions that was bugging me. ”I have heard about the bed time story or was it a fairy tale when I was a child, about the chosen one and the almighty being. My mother had told me about it.”
Gilbert looked at me and sighed. He took his seat again and so as I. He clasped his hands and looked at me seriously.
”The bed time story that Atlantains tell their children came from a myth.” Gilbert started. ”I guess you have heard about the powerful being giving abundant life to this continent and its inhabitants.”
”Yes, that is what it is stated in the fairy tale.” I replied.
”This almighty and powerful being was said to be the founder of the Atlantian country. The Atlantians was given magical powers saying that we were his descendants. But the truth is he was the very first king of Atlantia. It is true that his origins are unknown but his achievements are widely known.”
I looked at Gilbert seriously. At least he can remember about the myth and the truth behind it. It seems that there is more to the story of this almighty being and the chosen one.
”It was said that this continent was first just a barren land and living here was rough and hard. The almighty being came from who knows where, having the power to manipulate all the different kinds of elements. He was able to bring life to this barren continent and the people living here looked up to him. The almighty being taught the people different kinds of knowledge and governing. As time passed the continent was divided into four countries and three is still maintained in present day. Atlantia on the other hand was founded by the almighty being. The people that followed him, he gifted with magic abilities.”
”It was gifted? Is that why our magic abilities are nothing compared to the royal family of Atlantia?” I asked.
”Yes. The royal family of Atlantia is the direct descendants of the almighty being. They have the blood of the almighty running thru their veins.” Gilbert explained.
I was deep in thought once more. The information Gilbert was talking about is the founding of this continents four countries. The history books of every nation don't date that far long ago. They only started with the founding of the nations and the founding family monarchs.
And to think this almighty being was the one that founded Atlantia and bestowed his subjects with magic abilities and his descendants have much more powerful magic powers.
”Is that why the royal family of Atlantia practiced i.n.c.e.s.t?” I concluded. ”Do they believe purer blood means more powerful magic?”
”You are correct.” Gilbert nodded. ”The royal family of Atlantia, because of their direct linage with the almighty being, was afraid there magic powers will weaken if they copulated with others. Well not all of them practiced i.n.c.e.s.t. Some got married with other Atlantians. They were regarded as the branch families. Your mother was of the branch family. Your blood may not be pure as the almighty being's but I am sure you have a more ample amount of magical powers than other Atlantians have.”
