Agatha seemed to really believe that I was a demon worshipper or at least a card apprentice adept at their practices of card creation. I don’t blame her clone 1’s capability had given her strong reasons to believe that. But what surprised me was that Agatha claimed that she would overlook me using demonic practice because of our friendship. Now that I found it hard to digest. Not the fact that Agatha was willing to overlook the usage of demon practice because I bet in her long life as a card apprentice she might have been curious and tested out demonic practice sometimes. What I did not believe was that she would do that for me.
The world was all about manipulation, everything they do was because they expect a certain reaction from others in their life. From getting a job to marrying everything was one elaborate manipulation disguised by words, ‘I got to do this to get that.’ If you can’t see it, my going into detail about it would only make me sound crazy.
So, Agatha would only be doing something so significant for me only to get what she wants. Maybe she will not use it to blackmail me but she certainly does hope that this action of hers makes me think more favorably about her. If this was not a form of manipulation then what was? Manipulation can be used to define very human actions but we only use it to define actions that make us uncomfortable.
“Well, you can relax I did not use an alive person to create this clone. I do not indulge in demonic practice,” Knowing that Agatha had concluded that I indulged in demonic practice I did not waste time arguing and decided to explain myself.
“Said every card apprentice demonic apprentice who participated in demonic practice ever. Buddy you are going to need a better defense than that,” Agatha did not believe me and asked me to show evidence to prove otherwise.
“Just look at the front cover of the grimoire my clone is using, the Qr code, it is the same as my grimoire’s Qr code. Meaning the grimoire I and my clone are using is one and the same. Isn’t that evidence enough?” I said in my defense.
The front cover of every grimoire has a unique round Qr code. No two grimoires can have the same Qr code as this Qr code represented the unique soul pathway signature of the card apprentice. So the grimoire my clone was using and the grimoire I am using to have the same Qr code signified that one was the copy of the other. Which allowed both my clone and me to share a single grimoire at the same time. Just like the one I created for Debra Khan’s Skeleton Centaur Knight origin card.
“What do you mean? That is not possible. Are you using some kind of disguise card to trick me? That is not going to work,” Agatha was suspicious about what I said because this was her first time witnessing something . As far as she knew for two grimoires to have identical Qr codes was not possible.
“No, Agatha I am not using any card to disguise the grimoire Qr codes to look identical. This is one of my early inventions. So it is not a surprise that you have not heard about it, but I plan to publish a paper on this once I get time. Please keep your mind open about this,” Whenever something new which was considered impossible before was invented the first thing the human mind does was call it heresy unable to comprehend it but time has a way of making people come around.
“I don’t get it,” thankfully Agatha did not choose to close her mind to what she did not understand and tried to understand it. Which made my work simpler.
“Let me help you. How do I put it, the grimoire you see by my clone’s side is a copy of my original grimoire. As a copy, its capabilities are limited. Other than helping me share the cards in my grimoire and access the grimoire network under my id it was basically useless,” I did not know how to explain what a copy grimoire is to Agatha but I had to start some were. Depending upon what she understood I could continue to improvise.
“Tell me if I understood it correctly a copy grimoire is a grimoire that mirrors the cards in the original grimoire. So it basically allows you and your clone to access the capabilities of the original grimoire at the same time,” Agatha narrated what she understood about the copy grimoire. And hearing her I was impressed.
“Correct,” I said feeling that I had underestimated Agatha’s intellect.
“You call it copy grimoire but many know it as Grimoire mirroring, you are not the first to come up with this theory. This theory has been out there for ages. Some believe that some demigods and secret families have achieved this but there has been no concrete evidence pointing toward that. So I find it hard to believe that you were able to achieve that,” Agatha was still suspicious but I understood why Agatha was open to the idea of copy grimoire and was able to understand it without me having to repeat myself.
Considering the long history of the card apprentices it was not a surprise that someone had come up with this theory before me. And I was not narcissistic enough to believe that I was the first one to achieve this, the possibility of the card apprentices having already achieved grimoire mirroring somewhere out there was high. But the question was why was this knowledge kept hidden. Agatha was a semi-demigod with high standing in that society as a retainer to Demigod Windsor something should be accessible to her. This made me reconsider holding off on the idea of writing a paper about copy grimoire and question myself for having used it in Debra khan’s origin card creation.
