- Haaa! - Sharply opening his eyelids, the guy immediately squinted. The bright light blinded my eyes, pain immediately pierced my head. Slowly, but he began to get used to the light. It turned out that morning had already come. The noise of the spring brought him to his senses, awareness came after that. Finally, he opened his eyes fully. If he could look at himself from the outside, he would definitely be amazed at some of the changes. For a moment, his red eyes changed to a luminous silver. But, everything quickly returned to normal, returning him to his native eye color. Only now they were different, a strange power appeared in them, similar to something that came from the ancient grimoire ...

The boy stared at his hands and began to remember recent events. The moment when he touched the gray book was the last one remaining in his memory. What happened next can be described as something unimaginable ... A huge stream of knowledge about magic burst into his mind and filled everything. Unknown words were intertwined into understanding and even the language of this world immediately became naturally understandable.Grimacing painfully, the guy rubbed his temples. The last days he only suffered from pain, hunger and cold, now this is also ...

"Yeah, drinking will definitely not hurt here, as soon as I find some booze - I won't leave it for a week. If anyone asks why I started drinking, the story of my life should be enough "- with a crooked grin, the guy looked at the remains of an extinct fire, and then at the folder with the symbol of the Heart of the Grimoire. Now he wanted to look at her again. Even the acquired magical knowledge was not so important, he postponed it for later, wish now only one thing - to find out who he is, his name and what these damn wizards did with him.

- Ha ... Aidan means. Suddenly ... A strange name, - although he said so, a happy smile immediately crept onto the young man's face. In the past, he could not boast of his own name. As soon as he was not called ... From birth, nothing remained, but here there is a whole name, its own! Besides, this is not the only thing that he now had, also a family ... Looking at the photo of the little girl, Aidan sighed. In the picture she is depicted in exactly the same position as he once was, exactly the same threads and a pale face ... He could not even see her eyes. On the other side of the mother's face, someone took a picture from the side. A distant look and cold expression. Aidan failed to notice the shadow of emotion on the sorceress's face ...

With a heavy sigh, he finally began to grasp a completely new language for himself, but now absolutely understandable, as if he always spoke it. The knowledge gained from the grimoire concerned magic, many formulas and some spells, at the core, of course, the language of this world. An old language, but it looks like even the current generation still uses it. Aidan remembered another language, some kind of separate, specially created for something incomprehensible. He received nothing but the basics of knowledge.

Reading it in, the guy frowned more and more with every second. He did not get angry or accumulate anger, rather most of what was written did not touch him at all. Basically, on the first pages, it was all about the subject's condition, that is, himself. A child named Aidan, the son of a powerful sorceress Ur - specialization: ice-making magic, ice forgotten arts (clarification). Further, the relationship with the second test subject, Ultear, was noted. Some information about the high magical potential of both twins. The difference between the two came down only to the fact that the boy fell into a coma after birth and did not wake up even once in the past years.

After examining all the data, Aidan often noticed comparisons with his sister. The notes from the two magicians studying him spoke volumes. Only, they appeared much later, probably experiments were carried out on it long before the girl. In fact, by all accounts, Aidan was considered more of a failed child from a sibling pair. But he had some uniqueness that immediately interested the hidden leader of the Heart of Grimoire. Even these two magicians did not know his real name and called him simply - Master. Aidan figured it out pretty quickly, and Hades was clearly involved. Such a person, he could still remember.

Unlike his sister, Aidan's magical power developed a little differently, instead of fever, he simply fell into a coma. Then the same situation occurred, only this time the mother had to give two children. The Grimoire Heart Master traveling in those years was able to notice the strangeness in both. It was her that scientists studied.

Aidan's magic had some traces of Zeref's ancient magic. Previously, he would not have understood what all this means, but after receiving the magic of the grimoire, he understood what was what. He possessed not Zeref's magic, but rather a particle of death magic, just peculiar only to Zeref due to the curse. Therefore, Hades was able to get the child from the Bureau of Magic Advancement. But he just could not imagine that the child does not keep any secrets, but is a simple baby, moreover, unable to even look at the world. Hades could not find anything in it, so he only had to give the child to a bunch of scientists to study. So, brother and sister were separated. At least these Grimoire Heart mages could compare the results from the Bureau. The situation looked very suspicious. Perhaps Hades had planned all this, no one could give an exact answer now. In addition, the folder was too informative ...

But one thing is clear - the brother and sister were separated, and now Ultear is working for her brother's kidnapper, perhaps not even knowing about his existence. At the same time, Ur lost two children, one after the other. Apparently, the boy was given away as a baby, but the girl was much later ... It's hard to even imagine what it felt like then. It's amazing how she could continue to live with this ...

After studying everything he could, Aidan finally put the folder aside. Now he completely gathered knowledge together and understood how he got here. Ur's face was different from what he remembered, and for the better. The women turned out to be a real beauty. Therefore, for sure, everyone else in this world may be different. Aidan saw himself only in the photo, he still did not look into the reflection and did not even know the color of his own eyes.

The last entry was made in the year seven hundred and seventy-seven in June. Judging by the color of the trees and the weather, it is not difficult to understand that it is most likely summer. Of course, this is a new world, Aidan wasn't exactly sure. If he understood correctly, now he is about eleven or twelve years old. According to the records, no cruel experiments were performed on it, as Hades was afraid of damaging the child's body. In extreme cases, it could be used not only for the accumulation of magical power, but also for something else. For example, to control Ultear, his brother's body might well have worked.
