You unroll the scroll, those of the commandments once more, revealing the ancient text written in an elegant and flowing script. The words dance before your eyes as you begin to read, your mind absorbing the sacred teachings of The Mirthful Ones. The intricate letters form complex phrases and ideas, each one building upon the last to create a tapestry of knowledge and wisdom. You can feel the power of the text, its energy resonating within you, filling you with a sense of purpose and determination.

Hours pass as you delve into the sacred text, your mind fully absorbed in the ancient teachings. The flickering candlelight casts long shadows across the room, and the silence is only broken by the occasional rustle of the parchment as you turn the pages. The words of the text become etched in your memory, forming a deep and unshakeable understanding of your faith.

The beauty and the mystery of the Mirthful Ones fills you as you read on. You are enthralled by the text before you and deeply honored that you have been able to be gifted this rare chance. You close your eyes for a long moment and run your fingers over the text. This most ancient and sacred work is under your hands and all you can is stare into the darkness behind your eyelids as you feel it with every fibre of your very being. You whisper the words to yourself, to memorize them. "Thou shalt laugh at least fifteen times a night to honor the lord thy Messiahs, thou must make sacrifice to me by splashing the blood of sinners upon the walls of judgement, my miracles..."

You stand there, lost in thought, the words of the text echoing in your mind. Suddenly, you feel a strange sensation wash over you, as if someone or something is watching you. You glance around, but there's no one there.

The feeling persists, and you realize that it's coming from the scroll. You reach out to touch it, and as soon as your fingers brush against the parchment, the sensation intensifies. It feels almost alive, pulsing with an energy that you've never experienced before.

You gasp, pulling your hand back in surprise. The scroll seems to be radiating with power, its ancient words glowing faintly in the candlelight. You can't help but feel a sense of awe and reverence for this sacred text.

You decide to continue your studies, this time with a newfound respect for the power that lies within the scroll. You sit down cross-legged on the floor, the ancient parchment spread out before you. As you begin to read, you feel the energy from the scroll wash over you once more, but this time it's different.

It's as if the text is speaking directly to you, guiding your understanding and deepening your connection to the Mirthful Ones. You lose track of time as you immerse yourself in the sacred teachings, feeling a sense of peace and purpose that you've never experienced before.

As you continue to delve into the ancient scroll, you begin to notice subtle changes within yourself. Your mind feels sharper, your senses more acute, and you find that you're able to focus on the text for longer periods of time without growing weary.

You also notice that the energy emanating from the scroll seems to be affecting the room around you. The candlelight flickers more brightly, casting dancing shadows across the walls, and you can almost see the air around you shimmering with an unseen force.

You continue to read, feeling the power of the scroll coursing through your veins. Suddenly, you hear a soft voice whispering in your ear, echoing the words of the sacred text. It's as if the scroll is speaking to you directly, guiding your understanding and deepening your connection to the Mirthful Ones.

You glance around, trying to determine the source of the voice, but there's no one else in the room except Fu who by now is taking a nap. The voice continues to whisper in your ear, its tone both soothing and commanding. You feel a strange sensation wash over you, as if you're being pulled towards the scroll.

You reach out to touch it once more, and as soon as your fingers brush against the parchment, the sensation intensifies. The scroll seems to be pulsating with energy, and you can feel the power coursing through your veins. You gasp, overwhelmed by the sensation.

Fu jolts awake, his eyes wide with concern. "Are you alright? What happened?" He asks, his voice filled with worry. You try to gather your thoughts, still reeling from the intense sensation you just experienced.

 "I'm not sure," you reply, shaking your head. "I felt a strange energy emanating from the scroll. It was almost as if it were alive. And then I heard a voice whispering in my ear, echoing the words of the sacred text." You glance down at the scroll, still feeling the residual energy pulsing through you.

Fu looks at you with a mix of curiosity and concern. "That sounds... intense. Are you sure you're alright?" He asks, his voice gentle. You nod, trying to shake off the lingering effects of the experience. 

"I think so. It's just... unsettling." you whisper this as you stare at the scroll intently.

As you both sit there, the energy in the room seems to be palpable. You can't shake the feeling that something momentous has just occurred. Fu watches you carefully, sensing your unease. "Perhaps we should continue our studies tomorrow," he suggests.

You nod, still feeling the strange energy coursing through your veins. "Yes, perhaps that's for the best." You say, slowly standing up. Fu helps you gather the scroll and other materials, his eyes never leaving you.

As you run a hand through your own hair and make your way to your bed, you can't help but feel a sense of awe and reverence for the ancient scroll. You know that your connection to the Mirthful Ones has deepened, and you're eager to continue your studies. However, you also know that you must approach this power with caution.

You wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, as if the energy from the scroll has lingered within you throughout the night. You stretch and yawn, looking forward to continuing your studies. As you make your way to the room where the scroll is kept, you can't help but feel a sense of anticipation and excitement.

You arrive in the room and approach the scroll with a sense of reverence. As you unroll it, you can feel the power emanating from the parchment, almost as if it's alive. You begin to read, letting the words wash over you, feeling the energy coursing through your veins.

As you continue to delve into the ancient scroll, you notice that the energy seems to be affecting your mind as well. You feel sharper, more focused, and your understanding of the text deepens with every passing moment.

You lose track of time again as you immerse yourself in the scroll, the energy coursing through your veins, making you feel invigorated and alive. Suddenly, you hear a soft voice whispering in your ear once more, echoing the words of the sacred text. This time, you recognize the voice as belonging to Fu.

"Fu? Is that you?" You ask, turning around to see him standing behind you. He nods, a look of concern on his face. "What's happening?" He asks, his voice quivering slightly. You shake your head, trying to clear it. "I don't know. The energy from the scroll is intense."

You glance down at the parchment, feeling the power pulsing through you. "I think the scroll is awakening something within me. It's like my mind is being opened up to new possibilities, new understandings." You say, your voice filled with awe. Fu steps closer, studying your face intently.

"Are you alright?" He asks, his voice filled with concern. 

You nod, trying to reassure him. "I think so. It's just... intense. But I feel like I'm being guided, led down a path of knowledge and understanding that I never could have accessed on my own." You glance down at the scroll once more, feeling the power coursing through you. "I don't know what's happening," you say, your voice barely above a whisper. "But I know that this scroll holds the key to unlocking secrets that have been hidden for centuries, perhaps even millennia."

As you speak, Fu steps closer, his eyes wide with curiosity. "What kind of secrets?" He asks, his voice barely above a whisper. You shake your head, unable to articulate the feeling that's coursing through you.

"I don't know," you say, your voice trembling slightly. "But I can feel them, deep down inside me. They're... they're powerful. And they're changing me." You glance down at the scroll again, feeling the energy pulsing through you like never before. "We need to be careful, Fu."

Fu nods and you in agreement as you head back to your chambers
