Chapter 8: The Scepter

"Who the hell are you?" I said, staring into Sophie's eyes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Crazy love for your little woman!" Sophie replied mischievously.

"Enough, you!" I said with a dark face.

"You won't be gentle," Sophie pouted and said dissatisfiedly.

"Shh," I glared.

"Okay, okay, I hate it!" Sophie said dissatisfied, suddenly looking miserable, and said softly, "I have a story, are you interested in hearing it?" ”

"I'm listening."

Sophie looked somewhere on the roof of the stone house, sighed, and said, "The story began twenty years ago. ”

Sophie is American and was born on a farm in Ohio.

The farm was the property of her grandfather, but neither her grandfather nor her father were successful farmers, and if it weren't for the help of her grandmother and uncle, the farm would have been ruined long before Sophie was born.

Despite her poor management, Sophie's family was quite wealthy when she was born, and her wishes were hardly rejected for as long as she can remember, until she was six years old, when disaster struck.

In the summer of that year, young Sophie trespassed into her father's attic, which was the family's forbidden place and the place where her father did research.

Usually the attic is locked, and even when Sophie's father is working inside, he will lock himself inside, but that day he was negligent.

Sophie broke in, even though her father had sternly warned her not to go in. But because of her usual doting, this admonition was not taken seriously by the young Sophie.

She pushed the door open and entered, but there was nothing interesting in the attic, only stone slabs and old scrolls carved with symbols, and some things that I didn't know what they were for.

Little Sophie was disappointed, and when she was about to leave, she was surprised to find a map spread out on her father's desk, and there was a single-handled magnifying glass on it, which she thought was funny, so she went over and grabbed it in her hand.

At this time, she noticed that the drawer of her father's desk was not tightly closed, and driven by curiosity, little Sophie reached out and pulled it open, and she found a long strip of moisture-proof paper wrapped in the drawer.

At this time, Sophie, who could no longer suppress her curiosity, forgot all of her father's warning to "don't touch my things", put aside the magnifying glass in her hand, and reached out to take out the contents of the drawer.

Little Sophie tore open the moisture-proof paper outside, and a black scepter was revealed inside, and the black scepter was decorated with very beautiful patterns, and the most surprising thing for Little Sophie was that the top of the black scepter was actually inlaid with a black diamond the size of her small fist, this black diamond was crystal clear, and was carved into the shape of a skull, which was very magical.

Wow, it's beautiful! Little Sophie was overjoyed that such a beautiful scepter must have been a birthday present from her father, because she knew that next Monday would be her sixth birthday. And the size of this scepter is suitable for her to hold, and it will look very small when her father holds it, so it must be given to herself.

Excited little Sophie, thinking that she had discovered a big secret, ran out of the attic with the black scepter, and she wanted to scare her father, and she wanted to tell him that she had found her gift.

When she ran down the attic and into the living room, disaster struck.

Sophie said this, her face was pale, there was not a trace of blood, and I could feel the deep sadness in her heart.

"Dad, what did I find?" Little Sophie saw her parents in the living room, happily waving the treasure she had found, and ran towards them.

Unexpectedly, his parents were shocked to see her holding a black scepter in her hand, and ran towards her together, opening their mouths wide, and just shouted, "No! ……”

Under the wielding of the black scepter by little Sophie, the black diamond at the top suddenly shot ~ a terrifying black light, hitting the oncoming parents, and the two of them disappeared out of thin air with a brush on the ground.

Little Sophie opened her arms and wanted to pounce on her parents, but she threw herself into the air, and after the black light, her parents disappeared like air, and she stood alone in the living room in a daze, as if it had just been a real nightmare.

The scepter, it was the scepter that made her parents disappear, Sophie's little heart was full of fear, and as soon as her hand was released, the black scepter fell on the floor of the living room.

"Grandma, uncle, mom and dad are gone! ......" little Sophie burst into tears.

Sophie was already in tears at this time, choked up and unable to speak. I don't know what to say, I can't believe what she went through as a child.

She calmed down for a moment, and I asked softly, "What happened later?" ”

Sophie wiped away her tears and continued, "From that day on, Dad and Mom never appeared again, as if they had really been consumed by the Black Scepter.

In the same year, my grandmother and uncle sold the farm and moved the family to their hometown in Georgia. When I grew up and started studying, I never went back.

I grew up living in the shadow of that accident, and although no one blamed me, I knew that I had hurt my father and mother.

I thought I was going on like this for the rest of my life, until I was in high school, and one day I went to a museum with my classmates, and I saw an old stone slab depicting a Mayan man with half of the scepter in his hand identical to the one I had seen when I was a child. In other words, the scepter I found from my father's desk was only half of the scepter on an ancient stone tablet, and I instinctively felt that there must be another half in this world, where to go.

From that day on, I began to frantically investigate the provenance of the ancient slates, and continued to study the ancient Mayan civilization, until I finally learned from an old doctor what the scepter on the ancient slate was.

The Doctor said that the black scepter was the status scepter of the King of the Mayan Jungle, and according to legend, the scepter had a magical diamond at the top and bottom of the scepter. One is the black diamond that controls death, and the other is the white diamond that controls life, and whoever has the scepter has the power to rule the world.

However, this is only a legend, because the Mayan tribe began to decline from the time of the Great Discoveries, and until now, the tribe of the Mayan jungle king has retreated into the depths of the jungle and has not been discovered for many years.

It was then that I finally realized that my parents and grandfather had always been avid Mayan fans, and that the reason why they didn't run the farm successfully was because they devoted most of their energy to research.

I went back to my childhood farm in Ohio several times to look for my parents' belongings.

The hard work paid off, and I finally found a box of my father's relics in the basement of that farm, and among the dozen ancient scrolls, I found a notebook of my father's notes, in which I confirmed that the professor's research was correct, and in the notes, I found a pair of hand-drawn paper, guess what? ”

Without waiting for me to answer, Sophie couldn't wait to say the answer, "It's a sketch of a scepter, it's exactly like the legend, and there is a sentence written under my father's pattern, 'One part of the scepter is life, one end is death, mortals can't have it, otherwise disaster will come!'" ’”
