A ring is found with an intriguing inscription inside
A ring is found with an intriguing inscription inside

“The idea here is simple. The ring is a vessel of codes. Firstly, you must put it on, it should only fit your middle finger. I tell you this now b/c you may very well inadvertently trigger a catastrophic disaster. You must understand, you hold the power of the history in your hands.” He quelled backwards in stillness for a moment, sheer apprehension and disbelief. “That my friend, you must not do. For only by asking in your mind whilst you perform the right are you able to accomplish it. And no one can make you believe but you. Should you attempt this by doubting you very well may be consumed by it. This is why it is said, that it only may be used by someone who needs it to be real, has a real purpose for it, for only they will will it to happen. Now, understand that every gesture you make with your hands once the ring sits on your finger will prompt a different response, so operate slowly and deliberately.” At this the ring holder spoke up.
“Stop, please stop. You must explain more. You said, the history, history of what and from where? Please attempt to be a little more specific, I guarantee it will save time in the end.” There was no sympathy in his response then, only a matter of factness that proved unenlightening.
“History, the history of all things. I told you this was simple. One thing that is seen by all is the stars in the sky and this ring is the key to their slumber of secrets. Watch carefully” The poorish laborer turned to imitate the ring bearers stance, breathed in deeply becoming taciturn, enthralled in himself before contracting his muscles and thrusting his hands forward. He froze and regarded the ring bearer with stout intensity, holding up one pointer finger before continuing. Twisting his hand from one form to another he sequentially counted upwards ever so often reminding his viewer which form he was on with the count of his fingers. When he was done he finished by shimmying all of his fingers at once from the sky down to his sides in a very dramatic gesture as though he were marveling over the wholeness of ones beauty then his agitated form regarded the ring bearer again calmly. He smile. “Simple.”
“Fairly.” The ring bearer pronounced unwavering with doubt.
“You have been taught the forms, they have been your study throughout your discipline here these last 8 months. The ring found you which only means you are ready. Now prove to yourself. I would suggest beginning with a request of halcyon days. They seem to be the least perturbing.
“Who else will be able to see what I see?” Was the ring bearers response as he assumed his stance.
“That’s the spirit!” The teacher smacked the student over the shoulder knocking him from his stance. “Only those with their eyes on the stats at the moment you summon them.”
“For how far?” The teacher appeared taken back at the question.
“They are the stars; anywhere. Is why the responsibility of what is shown is so great, every mystery revealed is on you hand.”
The realization settled with a hanging wound that seemed necessary to callous over quickly. The ring bearer turned from his master bearing his figure and all his concentration to the night sky, passing his hands forwardthen fiercely igniting the Ancient forms of the Martial Arts passed down to him from his shoulders, into his elbows and through his wrists, the will of his fingers becoming volcanoes of dancing movement. Simply he took possession of his most obvious conscription and as he breathed deep, with a sudden breath of wind the stars began to shift ina clockwise motion, unhindered by any notion of gravity. First, very slow, then all together very quickly as though performing a watery maelstrome, one after another firmly ceasing in a place in the sky until all had halted in an incorporated puzzle of motion, the veritable scene indeed a peaceful one, the Ancient Star Archers, the first Monks of the Mtn of Night performing their rite on the Battleground Plain, unencumbered by war, only the preparation of it, bearing the responsibility not of what was good or bad or particularly advantageous, but simply what was.
When the scene had been fully accomplished the stars fell from the sky as though committed to Armageddon. The ring bearer gasped aloud as they seemed to connect with the horizon before roiling at him by the trillions, all at once and in one fervent breath rushed into his mind body and soul and leaving him breathless.
When the boy came to, his teacher was leaning over him, not an emotion of his face.
“To the tomato plants!” He exclaimed. “They need pruning before breakfast chores begin.”
