The evil man

An evil man full of hatred met a wizard on the road along the Nile river, the greatest water snake ever met by men, perfect for the thirsty burnt soul of the evil man, he asked the wizard how to become a great sorcerer, as great as him, the sorcerer frowned for a second and smiled, "wait for your death and start where Summer and Winter meet, now look at these two hands, focus on them, Remember them, that's all you need to know about me", and that's all I remember of this story
