—Do you know how to use this information, Adam?—the bear asked, looking the boy in the eye.
Adam thought about the question, but he didn't understand that he was looking to achieve the bear, so he simply shook his head.
Also, the boy knew that the bear could be lying. Now Adam's plan was to get to safe territory and ask his godfather and the old man with no eyes. That way to see if it was true (or not) the information that this magical book would kill him.
—Now that you know there are insecure books, you could see if the rest of the books you got are safe or not—the bear answered calmly—do you have any idea how to achieve it?
—No. The old man without eyes doesn't tell me the content of the books—Adam replied, he didn't want to follow the same fate as his teacher.
—You have two copies of each book: one infinite from the cave and the other original—the bear answered his own question—don't think about it too much now. But when you grow up and decide to stop being a hero, the idea will arise on your own.
Adam didn't answer, he didn't understand what the bear meant, and before he could ask anything the bear interrupted him.
—Even though the old man without eyes won't tell you the contents of the book… —answered the bear while drinking alcohol for a long time—If he values you more than a toy maker, he will tell you that it is a cursed book and not a magical one. But he's not going to do it: he's going to try to kill you. That is the final use of any information: to remind you of your place in the world.
—You could also lie to me and that the effects are not those—Adam answered, reflecting on why the bear wanted to put him against the old man without eyes.

—You're right—answered the bear—you just have to ask your godfather, and you will know the truth.
—But my godfather is a liar—Adam answered with even more doubt.
Long ago the boy had realized that: his godfather was a horrible person, and today he only confirmed his suspicions. What kind of inhuman monster would send a 15-year-old boy to skin a person just for booklets. Most likely, the bomb was a lie too.
—I don't doubt it—answered the bear immediately—Then discover your own truth: find out about the toy makers.
—And how do I do that?—Adam asked if he couldn't trust the old man or his godfather.
—No idea—answered the bear with his hoarse voice—Discover a way to learn it. There is still a long way to go before you get the black robe, you couldn't even understand the cursed book.
Adam opened the book to look at the language and indeed it was in an unknown language, Adam couldn't understand anything. The language didn't resemble that of the black book, it was more similar to that of the middle floors, so Adam thought it's probably the language of these lower floors.
—Don't worry so much and go back to the cave. You already secured the booklets— Commented the bear watching the boy open the book— For the rest: Goodbye, Adam, we will probably never see each other again.
Saying that, the bear swam away on the ground. Adam guessed that the bear would look for the mushrooms when the sheep finished going through the contents of the suitcase.
The boy looked around and remembered that he was on a floor full of lunatics, running with what was left of his strength he went to the stairs, to then slowly ascend and reach the cave.

Yin-Yang
Mages in North America seem to have it all – typically from well-off families, and able to manipulate their environment in ways most of the world would never believe. They don’t even have to bother with the mundane details of life like housework, thanks to their sensitives, who also make a useful source for extra magical energy. After all, sensitives have no use for it themselves, and if mages weren’t meant to make use of it, then the sensitives would obviously have some way to prevent that. That a mage can transform a sensitive physically, with no restrictions beyond overall mass and basic biological viability, whereas magic tends not to work directly on any other living thing, is only further proof. And look at the way they live on their own, barely a step above animals. It’s better for them to belong to a mage. Sensitives in North America live on the edge of society and survival – typically so paranoid they avoid hospitals and anything else that could lead to being tracked, many of them with little or no education and no legal identity or existence. Mages exist, and mages want sensitives for some reason, but no one ever comes back to explain what that reason is. Waiting every day for the hunters to notice them doesn’t lead to much motivation or hope for the future. And once they’re captured, they’re the property of someone with a terrifying amount of power over them. Anything is better than capture. Mages are born to be the masters, and sensitives are born victims. Or are they? Jax’s life is turned upside-down when he’s caught by the hunters and sold to a mage. Andreas is still mourning for his previous sensitive, though, unconsciously creating a difficult standard for Jax to live up to, all the more so while still struggling to come to terms with this new reality as Andreas’ sensitive. A runaway sensitive isn’t what Van expects at the mental health centre. Is this a hunter trap, set for him and the rest of the Donovan family by the hunters? The hunters would, after all, love to see them cross the line openly and finally do something they can be charged with. Either way, Miranda’s genuinely in trouble, and he can’t just abandon her to it. Snatching a sensitive out from under the hunters and hiding her is odd behaviour for a mage – but then, Catherine is an odd mage, living in disgrace in the old servants’ quarters of her grandmother’s house, responsible for cooking and housework. Lila owes Catherine her freedom; is there a way to help Catherine achieve her own, and at what price? Tension is building between traditionally-minded mages and those advocating change, and something has to break. *** Yin-Yang includes a small amount of profanity and no graphic sex or on-screen physical violence. However, sex and gender roles and relationships within the mage/sensitive subculture are non-traditional in mainstream North American terms. The key criterion in a primary relationship is not relative sex or gender, but the pairing of mage and sensitive; given the transformation of sensitives by their mages, physical sex is non-absolute for a sensitive, and gender identity can vary as in anyone else. *** *** The way mages treat sensitives is extremely varied and, in some cases is outright abusive. The struggle against that is pretty much the point of the book. It is NOT grimdark or misery-porn! However, if you will be triggered by this, please, don't read Yin-Yang! *** Complete stand-alone novel, 153K words! Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.
