(OOC: First of all let me say one thing...YOUR POST WAS AWESOME! I really liked this post, how you put Ranganok's legend on that tabled...wasn't expecting that so was a nice surprise. And the best things is that all you wrote doesn't conflict with anything in Ranganok's lore. Good job.)
"What do you mean you lived mostly?" the woman asked. "Either you are dead or you are alive. There is no thing in between, is there?" Ranganok smiles at the woman, maybe she was still young and didn't reached that stage yet so with a smile on his face and a calm voice he answers: "Well...when you live a long time you start to notice and learn a few things. One thing is that there are many types of death, aside from the physical one which in time you will realize that it's not so bad. It's just a passage from a state of existence to another, that's all there is to it. Like wood which turns into smoke as a result of burning...changing it's state of existence from solid to gas. Nothing is lost, everything is transformed. As you advance in years you will learn about the other types of death...but let's hope you will never have to experience them."
Then the history lesson begins. Sophie starts to read the contents of the tablet out loud as Michael listens to it captivated and interested about the contents. And then it happens...the moment Sophie says Ranganok, the man's eyes open wide in surprise. Now everything connects in his brain like he just got his missing piece of the puzzle. Mountains, memory loss, cave worshiping his god self...whoever did this to him, it clearly knew who he truly was...which makes Ranganok worry. Now the question that arises is, what role does Sophie has in all this...the person who put Michael here was aware of her coming to this ruins, was she sent here by him...what does that person want to achieve. He wanted to leave it all behind...but it seems that his past, even if forgotten, has returned from oblivion to drag him back into the dark.
Then the woman says something about the tablet being chipped and not being sure that Ranganok is what's written here. Then, the boy tilting his head forwards, looks down with a grim expression as the shadow comes over his eyes covering them. "I really hope you are wrong." murmurs the boy with a very low voice. Even though he was carefree, detached from everything, felling very well(not so much physically though), all his disposition was broken by this bloody tablet. Due to this incident and his new mood, he lost all interest in flirting which resulted in his not paying attention to hers.
Ranganok started to close his eyes and breathe deeply, calming himself, accepting all that happend to him and thinking it's for the greater good. He then started to detach himself from everything, going into a state of serenity and tranquility. In the end he started to get into a state like if he woke from total amnesia, knowing nothing about him, nothing affecting him, letting go of everything so that new things could be received without prejudice or false expectations. This way he started to "recover" though he was in a more empty state right now.
The woman then puts an interesting question: "What do you know about my past and my parents? And how? I am not the type to tell much about myself to anyone." Michael looks up at the woman with a deadpan-smiling face which doesn't let anything to be read on his face and answers: "All will be revealed...in time" The truth was that everything he knew was because his divination talent. He was able to read into a person by looking at her or looking at something of that person, created by it, holding emotional value, a drawing of that person etc. The item must have a connection to that person somehow. Though there are a few exceptions sometimes...
