There I was in the memory looking at the EMS pick me up and see them took me out into the ambulance. We floated and followed them to the hospital. "Father Time what you met that the Tome was met for my father?" I asked as I looked at him as we float along.
"Your father was met to be the runic but because of magic your name was on the box instead of his." Father Time explained as we teleported into the ambulance. "Your heart is beating so fast that they are trying to slow it down, but they couldn't because the runes are changing your DNA"
I heard them panicking to try to slow down my heart as we got to the hospital. They rushed me into the ER as my parents and brothers got to the hospital as well. They try to follow but the nurse stops them saying. "It is best let them try their best and see what they could do."
My family wanted to see me, but they nodded and sat down to not cause a seen. We moved into the main ER and saw they cut my shirt open.
"That is what happened to my favorite shirt." I said with a sad tone. "We aren't in a memory anymore, are we Father Time?"
"No, I took you see the whole event so you could learn." Father Time explained as I walked up see the runes glowing in my skin. I went to touch but my hand just moved into my body like I was a spirit.
"You can't touch just watch." Father Time said as I walked back. I went to see my parents in the waiting room as I saw that my brother was scared asking our parents if I am going to be okay. Seeing my parents try to comfort him. I smiled.
"Okay Father Time what else do I need to see?" I asked as I saw him tap his staff on the ground. Time moved forward a day or two before we made it to my hospital room. I walked up my bed seeing my father sitting there upset about what happened to me.
"It was supposed to be me Drakklin." My father whispered as he got close
to me and rub my face.
"What does he mean it was supposed to be him; I know the tome was supposed to be his but what is the full story?" I asked Father Time as I saw him walk up to my father. He watched as my father did a quiet prayer.
"Your father was trained to be the next Runic." Father Time said as I looked at my father listening as I hear the words I use when I try to talk to a Deity.
"My father was an Exorcist!" I said realizing as I saw my father feature and clothing. The same style I wear as I took in the dark clothing that I would eventually wear.
"That is right and now he can't be the highest order of Exorcist, because the package had your name instead of his." Father Time explained as I walked past my father seeing him hold a prayer item that looked like it was an item of Odin.
"I thought Dad was a Christian." I said as I looked at Father Time.
"He is Pagan, not Christian." Father Time told me as I looked at my father.
I took a moment to process the information as I looked at Father Time. I can see that he wasn't lying. I felt like the man I grew up as with wasn't my father anymore. But I knew that he was still my father. My father the man that raised me was a Pagan. But looking back at it there was signs. Didn't go to church every Sunday. Knew the Bible but felt like that was because he had to hold up an image. Didn't wear the classic Chirstian clothing. I couldn't believe that my father wasn't the man that I thought he was.
"You have not talked to him for a while, haven't you?" Father Time asked as he stepped closer to me.
"No, I haven't he treated me differently since I got the runes burnt on my skin." I explained as looked down sad. "He must have been upset that I got the tome instead of him."
"I think it was that he was worried about you and didn't know how to treat you or how you would react." Father Time explained as I looked at him with my eyes getting teary. I walked away as I looked at him.
"What is the reason you are showing me the past Father Time?" I asked as I looked at the old Deity of Time and Dreams.
"If you want to beat the different Deities at their games you will need help from him, so I will let you wake up but make sure you call your father." Father Time explained as he looked at me. He touched my Forehead and then before I knew it, I shot up awake. I looked at the clock and saw it was 3:24am. I was asleep for nine hours roughly. I looked for my phone to listen to Father Time and call my father.
"Den where is my cellphone?" I shouted as I looked around. A sleepy spirit of dull blue light appeared.
"Runic do you know what time it is?" Den asked as he yawned.
"Yes, I know but phone now please!" I said with a panic. Den can tell that I was not okay. He made my cellphone appeared. I took it and dial my father's number.
