After he finished, the Earth beneath like all the other celestials' bodies stopped moving and he lost consciousness.

----------

Sand fell on his face, waking his consciousness up again. Ezekiel looked around, and saw a man in ragged clothes, walking towards the city which seemed to be full of life.

Knowing it is Balthazar Blake, he followed behind while hiding his presence. As both entered inside the city, Balthazar continued going inside a tent which seemed bigger than the others, while he used his 'Eyes of Seeing' to peek inside.

His sight was presented with a little boy, with paint of white all over his body, with a snake on his neck while he played the flute, also known as snake charmer. Balthazar waited till the boy finished, and went forwards, he didn't talk to the kid but instead gave him a ring with the shape of a Dragon.

The little boy took the ring and put it on his palm, but nothing happened. Balthazar saw no reaction took back the ring, and left after apologizing, as he walked outside the tent, he was presented with Ezekiel whose eyes shone multicolored.

Ezekiel didn't attack nor talked, but used his psychic powers and removed the ring from Balthazar. On the other hand, Balthazar was surprised as he didn't notice the presence of use of magic, nor any ring or staff, but from the human in-front of him he didn't feel any bad intention.

Ezekiel: "Balthazar Blake, one of the four apprentices of Merlin, also famous wizard among the magical society, I Ezekiel world traveler, will make a deal with you" as the ring returned back to his hands.

Balthazar looked at the man, and was startled when he heard world traveler as there exist various dimensions within the magical world, hell, heaven…although he received his ring back, he still prepared various attack formations from his hands.

Balthazar: "Ezekiel it is, which dimension do you invade from, and what is your purpose?".

Ezekiel appreciated the response, "well I do not come from any dimensions, you could say I am from among other Universe, as for the purpose it will interest you as it is related with your Master's last words".

Balthazar got nervous, when his teacher Merlin died, he was the last one to hear his words and know the prophecy. But he still stood his ground waiting for the next words.

Ezekiel: "My deal is very simple, I will give you when the Prime Merlinean is born, in exchange, you shall give me a ring and an Encantus".

Balthazar heartbeat accelerated, he was in search for a long time for the boy who will save the world, he had crossed various places yet he didn't find him, he too started getting tired from having to go everywhere, so receiving the answer in exchange of something which any magician could get was not bad for him.

Balthazar stayed silent for some time, and finally spoke, "how do I know you won't lie?".

Ezekiel: "Isn't there some magic related to the soul, or some contract?".

Balthazar looked at the man in-front of him, and decided to trust him, "okay we will sign the contract which damage your soul if you lie" pausing he continued, "if you are okay with it we can make the deal".

Ezekiel nodded and waited for the next procedures.

Balthazar saw him nod, and took a small paper, which slowly grew and extended into an A1 size, and handed me a pen with it.

Carefully reading the paper, he didn't see any different difference from the words, and signed it. Looking at the situation he found it ironic as how the table turned.

Balthazar looked at the signed paper, and took it back to his pocket, and handed a small ring and a small book which is the Encantus.

After he received the items, he noticed a small seal inside his soul from his psychic/astral energy, which should be magic related. Taking both of them he looked at Balthazar and told him everything.

Ezekiel: "The Prime Merlinean will be born in the year 1990. He will arrive to you in the year 2000, and do not try to mess with how the order of things go, or else maybe you will never meet him so do as you wish to continue through these years".

Ezekiel: "Well Balthazar Blake, my deal with you finishes here, so I shall leave, if there is still a possibility of meeting the future will decide" and he flew away as he controlled his energy within the cells.

Balthazar looked with his mouth wide opened as Ezekiel flew away without magic and mumbled, "Ezekiel, world traveler".

-----

North Pole.

Landing here, Ezekiel wore the magic ring and tried using the magic ring. Although his body can absorb any kind of energy they are limited to the basic of the Universe, and magical energy is something different an energy which is not of or in his first Universe.

Looking at the small orb embedded in the silver ring, which didn't have any effect, he looked at Encantus and placed it on the ground, which slowly expanded to an enormous size.

Searching for some basic spell [Fire Ball], and felt the difference on his ring as the spell activated and hit the ice which melted away due to the fire.

Sitting on the ground Ezekiel thirst for knowledge once again awoke, as he saw a completely new field he has yet to see. Looking through the history, spells, names, magic…everything related to magic written on the book, he felt watched as if everything he does or created the book will record, he decided to make a countermeasure for such absurdity.
