@cjko
It says that you should be aware of the Scorpion people. Especially about the female scorpio.
So that's me! It was an odd coincidence, but an amusing one nonetheless.Here is some bloody proof (It's in german, by the way):
-
@cjko
The murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie.
Read it a long while back but i remember deciding it's the best book on the planet. (I was 13)
Just saying but i thought The Alchemist was bullcrap. Maybe it was too deep for me haha. -
@WtfJudith haha I'm laughing how you hated that book,. Sometimes, you have to widen your imagination about it.. haha and it's not enjoyable sometimes. LOL
I agree about the other meaning of it, but you have to enjoy it too in other perspective, :)thanks for sharing your thoughts about that book btw, I appreciate it. :)
and for telling me your favorite book :))) -
@Karina-Kara I dunno what's the meaning of this. hahhhah
thanks for teaching me some german language/ hahhaa -
@cjko
I can translate the entire page, if you want... -
@Kana yeah.. Alchemist is a fable and it needs wider perspective about everything :)
-
@Karina-Kara if you want and will, why not? haha I'd like to learn new language too
-
@cjko Alright, give me some minutes.
-
@IM-NOT- I see.. sounds like TABULA RASA
-
@Karina-Kara HAHAH sure.. thanks :)

@Karina-Kara , @cjko
Here is the translation:
"Remember the Scorpion-Human, who dwells inside the mountains. He was created a long time ago from TIAMAT, to fight against the elder gods, for him it was allowed to stay with them under the mountains. He deceived us once and he may do it again. But call him, if something involves the outside, which you would like to know more and what i didn't tell you about. And his sign is easy and that is:
♏
And direct yourself only to his place, and he will come and speak, but do not do it by dawn, since when the sun raises, the Scorpion won't have power, and not before the dusk until nightfall, as he will be forced underground, as this is his letter of his contract, which pertains him; and it is written: His pate shall not raise above the sun.
And again: His is the dark time.
Yet again: He knows the gate, yet not The gate."-End of the first page-
The next page:
"And the Scorpion-Human has another from his race, female, which lives with him there, but talking about her is not right, and she must be spellbound with the Exorcism, shall she appear, as her touch brings death."

And with each letter, Wang feels the watcher growing closer and closer…
