Excessum itineris by Roxas Winchester (golden son ebook .TXT) 📕

I know I held the book, what I don’t know is why now feel like something that I never knew was missing is back where it belongs within me.”
“Because that’s what the book does, it will bond with the person who is its master, and apparently you are its new master.” Phantom leaned against the wall, defeated.
Panic and fear were starting to swell within Justin, “What does that mean? I know that John had said the book would ‘bend’ to me; is that the same thing?”
“No, the tow are similar, but not the same. To have the book recognize you as its master doesn’t mean it will follow or obey you, while it bending you means it will obey you to the end of time. Your mother Anna was never the proper owner of that book, Justin.” Phantom paused then continued. “you are and always have been the true owner of that book, which makes destroying you even more difficult for me to do.”
“Why do you want to kill me, Phantom? What have I done to warrant my death?”
“There is a prophesy that says when a man dies then comes back the world of the living he will be death to all the inhabitants of the world.”
“But I would never do that! How can you believe I would, or could destroy everyone on earth?” the fury in his voice was rising as he thought more about it.
Phantom looked apologetic but stern when he replied. “I know you would never purposefully harm everyone, but you would inadvertently dill them all by you existence here.” Phantom’s eyes were filled with sorrow and almost pain. “Unlike Anna, who was a sorceress of the light who was tempted by the night, you are and always have been a sorcerer of the night. The night cannot help but be what they are. Even though you may not be in the night entirely now, you will slowly find your way back there. You may fight it, but the harder you fight it the stronger it will pull you into its grasp. Once you’re there you can never return or leave the power of the night.”
Justin thought about what Phantom had said, and the events from the past few days since he woke from his apparent death. “Wait, how did that lady at the DMV know about me before I even new? Is she one of you guys?”
“What do you mean?” the panic and fear were bare in Phantom’s eyes. “All of my people are with me or back home, except for Anna, John, and you. Tell me, what did she do that makes you think that?”
Justin thought back through all that had happened till he remembered the DMV incident clearly. “She told me it was unwise to put my name on my license plates for the car, and that she knew the Greek Gods very well.”
Phantom rushed up the stairs quickly and called back down to Justin to grab the spell book and come up quickly. Justin picked up the book, put it under his arm, and followed the path Phantom took up the stairs. He was greeted with looks of anger, fear, and curiosity. Anna was watching from the chair across the hall from the stairs with the slightest bit of fear and anger in her eyes.
