In a breezy spring night . The city was quiet and peaceful with silver diffuse of moonlight covering a hundred years old Italianate architectural styled mansion on the Mediterranean Sea coast . The Abaza family owned the mansion generation after generation . This night the entire house was a block of darkness except for one room with dim lights and heavy cigar smoke .

The room was enormous with walls covered in books line after line and many certificates and prizes all with the same name and title .
The novelist Saad Abaza .
Tones of pictures all over the room with one person in common . A man through the years from his late twenties till his mid-sixties; he had light blue hooded eyes with an intense yet warm look . Saad was sitting on a traditional brown leather carver chair next to an opened balcony door, a cigar half-smoked and a glass of water on the table next to him .
He was reading an ancient-looking book with unique symbols on its cover, he kept flipping its pages until he reached the page he wanted and read it out loud . He looked at his watch and then held the glass . The ground vibrated from below and the lights flickered rapidly, it was a minor earthquake that didn't fear Saad .
He looked at the room's door frowning, it was a white-colored one with flowers engraved on it, within the vibration of the ground, the door changed into a bigger one painted in brown with hieroglyphics engraved all over it .
The vibration stopped; Saad got up leaving the book on the table then went to the door to open it . On the other side, there was a different room; looked similar yet still had its own vibe . The door opened to a metal railing and stairs . He looked down; a man around his age was sitting on a burgundy couch with a coffee mug between his fingers, he looked at Saad and smiled .
"I think he could help," the man said and looked at someone standing in front of him . A shadow of a woman appeared from under the stairs . She stood in the middle of the room and looked at Saad . He gave her a genuinely sweet smile .
"Hello kiddo," he said in a luxurious warm tone .
