The forever quest

They always knew how they were going to die it was written on their skin from the day they were born.

As haruki murakami said death is not the opposite of life but an innate part of it ..humans are destined to die but the people of aveluious are known for their different gifts ..its a gift for outsiders but for their own its a curse ..the curse of fear it creates. they say the tattoo never lies aveluian kids grow a trauma they never experienced ..the picture of how they will die.

The Jackson family is known for their bookwarmness and intelligence every man tried to find a way to change the fate of their death but non of them did one man to the next passed an unfinished quest.

This forever quest started with a man named James who had a tattoo of a cow ..in this time it was hard to stay away from a cow where all the food is provided from .but the family wanted him safe they were forced by their love to keep him miles away from a farm all alone that when he becomes fond of books he cherished it ...one night he was very depressed that he lived alone for so long he wanted to kill himself so he tried to hang himself so stepped on the wood chair tied the rope as he removed the chair he found himself struggling for his life but suddenly the rope tore apart. the next day he went to the river and tried to drown but suddenly his father arrived who had been there to visit his son and saved him .

James got mad but his father understood what his going through and said '' Son no one can change their fate a cow will kill you the tattoo never lie but son I have good news we found you a job in the city you can stay with your uncle ,there are very few cows up there '' James faces lighted up hugging his father.

as James father promised he lived with people with a risky freedom.

 That Is where he met his beloved wife.

after six years of marriage they had three boys, the three boys had tattoo of weird creatures behind their back which means they will be infected with a disease.

James with the great hope his kids granted him, wanted to find a way to change their fate of death that is when he started the forever quest he spent hours and days in the library only to live reason, not satisfaction, more question but no answer.James caught so much on changing his fate little did he had known his fate was lurking around.

one morning James, as usual, ran to the library something caught his eye his last born playing around a cow ...James tried calling him from the far but his kid got even closer.James without hesitating run up to get his son.

 his wife cried out '' James no I will get him''

without looking back he caught his son when James turned ...James come in contact with fear of his soul a cow.James let go of his son telling him to run while he run to a different side ..he runs for his life crying out for someone to help him this time wanted to live because he had so many things on his head.

without James noticing he had come to the end of The city cliff turned back he again came face to face with his fear is a cow.

James could not run anymore he lost hope as he stood ,the cow throw him to the cliff.James's last words were '' the tattoo never lies''

after his death people came to save him which was too late his family mourn .

James's wife passed his belongings to his three son to finish their father's business.

after one and half centuries it comes to this time the time of technology where people have deep knowledge .

no science can solve the great matter Aveluian were aching to know how to change their fate.

The last and only Dwight Jackson seems to care less about the Aveluian, his father nagging him to continue what James Jackson started day and night .

Dwight refused to be caged under fear he chooses to enjoy every moment not that he is not scared but chooses to ignore it.

His tattoo shows a person stAbbing his heart.

 how can he stay away from people,which is hard for an extroverted soul?

his parents always say '' It is okay if you don't finish what your ancestors started but at least protect your self '' unlike their saying they do care about the quest.
