========================Chapter 2========================

As I was walking away, I heard uncle Joey call,"Hey, Boy, c'mere!" I turned around. "Well, I ain't gonna tell you from over there!" He said. I walked over to him, half running."Okay boy, here." He reached under the counter and pulled out a book. It looked old and tattered, but at closer examination, I could tell it was only the cover that was beaten up. "How old is it?" I asked. I could tell that was a hard question. He was silent, thinking about it. "Maybe 10 or 15 years old?" He answered. He handed me the book. "Keep this book in your bag, and don't read it unless you're alone." He told me. His face was as serious as it could be. I wasn't sure whether or not if he was crazy, but I decided not to say anything, for my sake. I put it in my pack and asked, "What is it?" His face turned whiter than a ghosts, and told me in a hushed tone, "It's a swordsman Manual." We both stood there, silent. I thought to myself, "I will be in a lot of trouble if somebody found out I had this book." I started at him for a while and then, breaking the silence, I said goodbye and walked away. I tried to hide my fears of the book, but it was easy to tell by the look on my face that I had something on my mind. (Since you probably want to know what a swordsman Manual is, it's a book that used to be used by the summoners of old, before they started the war. Since the ways taught to swordfighters in the summoners hall were different than the ways the summoners were taught, the summoners hall was at a great disadvantage. After the beginning of the dictatorship, the summoners hall banned the books, destroying most, if not just about all of them. From what I knew, I was the only person in grand Gaia that had ever seen this book that wasn't in the summoners hall.[Because only the highest-ranked officers in the summoners hall were permitted to see their copy of the book, since it was the only known surviving swordsman Manual.]) I walked back towards the alleys, making sure I wasn't being followed. I knew I was being paranoid, but better safe than sorry. I walked towards the alley leading to the edge of the city. Since I was sure that it was dumping day for the rich aristocrats on the edge of town, I decided to see if I could find something of value. I walked in silence to my destination.
