3 THE PROMISE (1/2)

”That's right. I didn't had my Magic Core until i was 12. I was made fun of everyday by everyone.”

Arjun was dumbstruck. He was in the thoughts. The famous Aeron was actually had the similar case as him during his younger days.

Aeron continued, ” I believed that if I trained in my willpower then one day I will awaken my Magic Core. But reality was different. No matter how much I tried, I couldn't do it. ”

Arjun could feel Aeron's emotions. Afterall , currently Arjun was tasting that very same emotions too.

Aeron added , ” My fruitless training has not brought sorrow by people's negative comments around us not only to me, but it affected my father too.”

Aeron continued,” People used too mock my father not only because I was poor, but also because of my incapacity of awakening the Magic Core. But I didn't gave up. I had the feeling that one day my hard work will bear the fruit. And it did. ”

Aeron lost into emotions and continued, ” One day your grandfather came to our village for inspection. I was appointed as the voluntary for your grandfather during the period of time he was staying in the village. That's when he found my hardworking very interesting and started to like me. One day he found about my condition and helped me in awakening my Magic Core. That's how my journey began as magician.

” My grandfather was from some other district ?” , Arjun surprised and asked.

”Yes. This is something your father told me though.” Aeron continued, ” But you are not qualified to know the details yet.”

” How did my grandfather awakened your Magic Core ” , Arjun asked curiously.

Aeron smiled and replied, ” This is something your father told me once. When your grandfather was young , he red many books to improve his knowledge in magic field. Your father told me that your grandfather was originated from some other district . But the main field he was good at was 'Sealing ' magic. But his knowledge was at intermediate level. So it was not something that good compared to others 'sealers' in 'Sealing Magic '. But he was good enough to break seal on my Magic Core. ”

Arjun asked doubtfully , ” Why their exist any seals in the Magic Core? ”

” Magic Core is not something that exist in every human. Aeron continued, ” It is something that exist in different humans in different quantity. The average age when a person awaken Magic Core was around the age of five. But some people takes birth with the Magic Core by birth. This people are known as ”Heaven's child ”. They are very special and their training pace will be very quick. That is the reason why these people are known as 'Heavens child '.

”There exis people with weak ” Magic Core ” who are born with sealed magic core . Aeron continued speaking, ” I comes under this catagory. But your grandfather has awakened my Magic Core, but it was too late. Because I awakened my Magic Core at the age of 12. The ” Heavens child ”are someone who could reach 12 - star magic realm at the age of 9.”

Arjun was dumbstruck. He never knew any of these details.

”That's why , awaken your Magic Core as soon as possible.,Aeron continued, ” The more quickly you awaken it, the more quickly you will become stronger ”.

” Yes.” Arjun said admiringly , ” I will do my best.”

”That's good.” Aeron replied, ”Keep working hard. Never lose hope.”

”yes” , Arjun replied energetically.

But truth to be told , Arjun has no hope till now whatsoever. He kept on telling to the others that ”I will definitely awaken my Magic Core one day and i will definitely become stronger and stronger ”. But deep down in his heart he was literally worried about this issue. But after hearing what Aeron told , he finally had a hope that his grandfather will definitely remove the seal on it. After awakening his Magic Core he will had to work harder even more than others. But Arjun had faith in his hard work. Because among his age group , he was someone who always worked harder than anyone else.

”If my grandfather is really that amazing, then why are you going with district governor?” , Arjun asked curiously.

He always believed that district governor was always stronger than his grandfather. But he didn't known that his grandfather was from some other district till today. Today after he heard from Aeron that his grandfather was from some other ”District ” but not from other town or village or city , he believed that gis grandfather was someone who is stronger than any other town head or city lord. He might be someone who is on equal level of strength compared to the district governor.

Arjun believed that if the district governor is on the equal level of strength compared to his grandfather then his grandfather will be best teacher than a busy district governor. Afterall his grandfather and district governor are from the two different district. Even though they are from the two different district, they will hold almost equal power.

Aeron understood Arjun's intentions and said with a smile on his face ,” It's because when a person trains, the more advances a person in his or her own training was the more high quantity resources he or she requires. I want to train under your grandfather too, but the resources in our town are very low. This low resources issue will delay my growth. ”

Aeron thought for a moment and said, ” If your grandfather still can go to the district and could reside there , then i would have never gone anywhere. Afterall your grandfather was someone who awakened my Magic Core and gave me a new life.

Aeron continued, ” On top of awakening my Magic Core, he also gave a decent job to my father in his office.”
