《Sorcerer》


 Prologue

    Thunder rumbled in the distance¡­ and like a string that was pulled too far¡­ the tension in the atmosphere released¡­ and it began to rain¡­


    Jordan looks up at the clouds, feeling the scattered water sprinkle on his face¡­ it got heavier¡­ and heavier¡­


    Jordan looks down¡­ his clothes were drenched¡­


    ¡°Shit¡­¡± He says¡­


    Jordan throws away his wet cigarette, and heads inside¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Jordan gets out of the elevator, pulls out his key, and enters his apartment¡­


    He passes by his kitchen table; a scattered assortment of objects¡­ his tarot cards laid out, showing his daily reading¡­


    He walks by his altar to Baphomet¡­ and he lays on his bed¡­ his clothes drenched¡­


    Jordan begins to think of his daily reading¡­ It was the Judgement card, the Hanged Man, and Death¡­

    When he read it, he didn¡¯t know how to process it¡­ The shock was needless to say, and it foretold of a tribulation to come¡­ It was likely very dangerous, and could lead to his end¡­ as for whether he could overcome it, he didn¡¯t exactly feel confident¡­


    Through no will of his own, as his life progressed, Jordan was lead towards the life of a sorcerer¡­


    There was no definite reason for it¡­ Life simply happened that way¡­ as it progressed, and as he reacted to the challenges in his life¡­ day by day, he continued to grow¡­


    Till he reached this stage¡­ the sorcery that was available to him was vast, he was capable of many terrible things¡­ and throughout it all, he has made many enemies¡­ bad karma, and red string¡­ both corporeal and incorporeal¡­ ghosts, demons, and beasts¡­


    Whenever Jordan thought about it, he could never blame himself¡­ It all just happened that way¡­


    As a child, he was very gifted, and quite blessed, considering all the worse places he could have been¡­ He was given room to grow, and as a gifted child, his mind explored the world, examining and processing, what was around him¡­


    As he grew older, a solid foundation was laid¡­ and it was almost ideal¡­


    Looking back on it, Jordan could only shake his head¡­ Ideals¡­ What a rookie mistake¡­


    Unbeknownst to him, Jordan attracted the attention of the heavens above¡­ and before he could figure out what was happening, he continued to pass trial after trial¡­


    The heavens were satisfied with his progress¡­


    But for Jordan¡­ he didn¡¯t understand what was happening¡­ Why he faced such terrible questions daily¡­ One wrong step, and he could seriously snap, and lose his mind¡­


    There were so many terrible things one could think of¡­ curses, locked rooms, the vast, endless void¡­ these things waited at the corner¡­ of each possible wrong answer¡­


    Heaven and hell¡­ angels and demons¡­ It was a gamble¡­ such great things, were deeply related, and one small thing, could decide whether one rose, or fell to the abyss¡­


    Jordan was ignorant of where he was walking, but he continued to walk nonetheless¡­ but deep down¡­ he just wanted it all to stop¡­ to be at peace, and to rest¡­


    He tried all sorts of things, which eventually lead to sorcery, and¡­ dark magic¡­ He¡¯s attempted dream walking¡­ and even vampirism¡­


    The result of this¡­ was a wealth of bad karma¡­ alas, Jordan could only laugh¡­


    In a way, he was somewhat successful¡­ He has found a modicum of peace¡­


    Each day was stressful, but he was content¡­


    But now, he may face something that he won¡¯t be able to survive¡­
