I now divide the whole thing into books, from the point of view of the plot it is better, I think.






Here is my first part (again). So ... Trunks is around 17.


Lyra and Will are currently on the Torre del Angeli (on the Tower of Angels) in Ci`gazze,


Will fights Tullio, who wants the knife to avoid being eaten by ghosts. The beginning is a little confused, I know.




Will pushed Tullio down the stairs with all his might. He had won. But why was Tullio so mad about this knife? He should talk to that old man again ...


But he was torn from his thoughts:


"Will, are you okay? Are you okay?"


Without answering Lyra's question, he now spoke his thoughts.


"What was the name of this old man again? I think we should talk to him again."


"My name is Giacomo Paradisi," came the sound from behind them, no one had noticed the man. "but I think you want to know something else, but now give me your left hand first."

Will was surprised and wanted to refuse at first, but Lyra got ahead of him.


"What do you want with his hand? Will, watch out! He looks old and weak, but don't trust him!" Lyra was still very excited, Pan also fluttered around her in the shape of a sparrow.


"In case it calms you down, I wanted to see if he has the sign, if he is the new carrier.


The wearer is missing the little finger and the ring finger of the left hand, you see? “He showed them his own left hand.” But that's not the case, unfortunately. You are not the new carrier. Actually, I would have been surprised, you are still very young, my child. "He looked Will in the eye." I'm getting old, I can no longer protect the knife, you just saw that.


That is why I want to let you in on his story, if something happens to me, you have to find the bearer and teach him to use the knife. "


"And we can't use it? What's so special about it?"

"I'll explain that to you now, my girl, so take care":


He told the two children (and Pan) everything about the knife that they or the porter needed to know.


“Now I'll show you how to open a window.” He took the knife in his hands. "The wearer has to let his mind wander into the point of the knife and try to feel a crack in the air with the silver sheath of the knife. That may sound strange to you, but he will know what I mean when he gets it feels. Now he should stick the knife in it and make a cut, like this. "






Around the same time, in another well-known world:




"Trunks !!! Come on!" The voice of Bulma Briefs echoed through the corridors of the Capsule Corp. , but Trunks didn't come. He stood in the kitchen, feeling that something extraordinary was about to happen, something that could change his life forever.


But he didn't know what, and that worried him.He should find out soon, because at that moment Giacomo came over. A knife blade suddenly appeared right in front of Trunks, who jumped back in shock. 'What is it? If I had stood a little further ahead, it would be somewhere in my body now! Looks like part of a ... 'He froze in his thoughts, because the window was now completely open, in front of him he saw a section of a strange picture: an old, panicked man, a girl around 13, and a black-haired one Boys, both visibly confused. A hummingbird flew frantically in circles around them.


But suddenly the window began to close again, the old man had awakened from his rigidity and seemed to be pressing it together at the edges. He had to act, but what should he do? Without thinking too much, he jumped towards the man, the situation was a bit reminiscent of when Boo was with Gotenks and Piccolo in the space of spirit and time. Everything almost went wrong there.



***************************************




Everyone stared at the window in shock, they looked into the face of a purple-haired, very muscular boy. Giacomo was the first to awaken from his stupor. "This is how you close the window again," he muttered softly, and wanted to squeeze it with his palms, but suddenly the purple-haired boy came running towards him.




Trunks first looked around. He was in a stone-walled room, and ... was lying on the old man!


Startled, he jumped up. "Um ... what is it (he points to the window) and who are you?


Only now did he register the stabbing pain in his left hand. "How ... how did you do that? I ... I'm bleeding!" Then he discovered two of his fingers on the floor (No, not curled up like a bloody question mark, I think that would be written off quite visibly.) , slowly nausea rose in him, but he didn't want to show anything."Answer me, I've already asked questions!"


Lyra moved closer to Will. "You talk to him, I'll ask the alethiometer if he doesn't pay any attention to me. He seems to come from your world, he definitely doesn't have a demon." In the meantime, Pantalaimon had turned into a mouse and was cuddling close to her.


“Yes, you really asked enough questions, but since you seem to be the porter,” “The porter? What does that mean again?” “Since you seem to be the porter, I'll answer your questions too, but interrupt not me !!! (must seem pretty strange, after all, Will is a few years younger.) I'm Will Perry, there is Lyra Listreich as the girl, her demon, the mouse is called Pantalaimon, and the older man is Giacomo Paradisi. "" Trunks Briefs my name. "Now it was Trunks who was confused. A demon? He saw nothing or anyone that Boo would even remotely look like. "You are injured, the wound is bleeding profusely.Giacomo, do you have anything to connect? "Now at last the old man seemed to come to." We ... I'll bring something quickly, we still have a little bit of this ointment, wait ... It is a great honor to be a carrier, if you know it in the clear? The knife has chosen you, you alone. "


"No, I'm not sure about that yet, how? I can't go back to my world, I think we have better means ..."


"Maybe, but not yet. Have you taken a close look at the knife? It's yours. But watch out, the steel edge is more than sharp!"


`Well, the knife looks a little strange, but ... I don't quite understand all of this, but it will be fine. Hopefully. 'He was now holding the knife in his hand, the blade of which had suddenly hung in the air in his world. The handle was made of a very dark wood, probably rosewood, with an angel inlaid with gold wire on each side, one with open wings, one with closed wings.The blade seemed cloudy at first, but on closer inspection it showed numerous shade colors in all sorts of tones.


But the edges were different from each other, one was made of flashing steel, the other looked more silver.


“Here, so you don't get injured.” Giacomo handed him a leather sheath reinforced with horn with buckles attached so that the knife couldn't touch the leather, it would cut through immediately.


So he buckled the knife and put it in his pocket.


Meanwhile, Lyra finally checked the alethiometer, as she had done with Will.


'Who is he? The pointer flicked quickly between the symbols. `He is strong, he will help you. Tell him about the ghosts before it's too late. `The alethiometer often added something after not being asked. It had a will of its own.


"Will, we can trust him, tell him everything. Oh, and tell him about the ghosts, it seems important."

“How do you want to know?” Trunks stood there, still slightly confused by everything he had just learned.


"I checked the alethiometer and it told me you would help us."


"That what?" stared at Trunks Lyra in confusion.


"A truth meter, I'll ask him a question and he'll answer me if I'm allowed to know. I think he's being guided by shadows, but ... No, that's going to be too complicated. Maybe another time, you'll stay with us for quite a while, I guess. "


"I would say we go upstairs, then he can see the ghosts," interrupted Giacomo Lyra and stepped ahead, they went back to the roof, to the place where Lyra and Will Giacomo first met about an hour ago were.










******************************************




"Trunks! Come on at last! Truuuunks!


Vegeta, find him! We have to go, otherwise we'll go without him! "

"All right! But just because ... um, I don't want us to be late?"


`No, I'm not doing you that favor, boy, you come with me! Do you think I would like to go with you? `


Vegeta stomped away furiously, he might have given in to Bulma a little too quickly, there could still be consequences, including for Trunks!


`Where is this kid? I can't even feel his aura, so hopefully it won't be that bad. `` Trunks! Come here! "` `I've looked everywhere, but I don't even need to come without him ... Shit!


I'm going to eat something first, stress makes you hungry. '


Grinning, Vegeta strode towards the kitchen.


He was about to lean against a wall to be able to eat comfortably when he noticed a change at the edge of his field of vision. Curiously he went closer and saw more and more of the new world.

"Now my boy, look down the parapet. Can you see these creatures down there? They slide (they can't fly) around the children. Do you see them?"


Trunks followed Giacomo's instructions, and indeed he saw her. They seemed to be lurking.


"You ... uh (I think every third sentence says uh, but what the heck!) They suck life out of people, but they don't kill them. People just lie there without moving in any way Better to be dead than to end like this. But the ghosts are afraid of the knife, so it is very popular, the wearer has to
