8 THE RAY OF HOPE

" WHAT???" , said Gnan in terror " The demon's child. Father have you checked properly? "

" Yes. " replied Sitaram worried, " He is inded the demon child."

The school principal asked in confusion, " My Lord, We heard about Heavens child. We even witnessed it today. But what is demon's child."

This is the question that lingered in everyone's mind. Everyone heard about Heavens child but nobody ever heard about demon's child. They were very curious about it. They also want to know what is the story behind it. So they waited for Sitaram's reply. The moment they heard Sitaram's voice earlier they wanted to ask immediately. But the person in front of them is not some common John Doe. The person standing before them is the Town's Lord. The only person who talks with him are all big shots in the town. So they waited patiently for their leader's reply.

Sitaram understood everyone are curious about it. He sighed and explained the story behind it ----

-----------

The people who heard this felt like a grandfather is narrating the bed time stories. They need to take so much from it. Even the principal is no exception. All this time he thought that he is very knowledgeable person. Because he knew some history like about the heavens child like that. But this is the first time he even heard about the existence of the demon's child and the story behind it.

Arjun who was silent this all time asked in very sad tone, " So I can't become a magician anymore ? "

Sitaram replied, " No."

" Can't you anything with your Sealing Magic?" asked Arjun in return.

Gnan interfeared anf said , " Your grandfather can only undo the seal on you. That will only happen if you have a magic core in the first place. You didn't have the Magic Core. You didn't have the concept of magic itself. So mot only your grandfather but their exist no person who could help you."

" But there has to be a way right ?" , asked Kiera worryingly., " There has to be some way through which we may be able to change his situation right ? "

" Right. " , Said Ringo, " You once said that every problem will have a solution. So Arjun's problem might also have a solution too , right? "

" Yes, I said it. But there will be some issues which won't have any solutions. " , Said Sitaram, " But there is another way for him to have different future. "

" What is it grandfather? " ,asked Mika.

" Continue training in willpower. There was a demon's child in the past. But he didn't give up hope. He continued to train in willpower. Then he started to sense some kind of power within him. He called it 'Inner Will' . Using that inner will power he started to use that inner will power in other professions. "

" Using willpower in other professions?" , asked Kiera.

" That person trained in willpower. " , said Sitaram and continued, "After that he started to learn different supportive professions. Like Forging Weapons , concocting pills , Learning cooking, Making Tea , Growing plants for peaceful environment., etc. That person used his inner will to do all these things. "

" His fame suddenly rose." , said Sitaram and continued, " The kingdoms or emperors who used all the things like it might be weapons or pills or anything they were totally stunned. The quality was so good. Not even the Magician who choosed these support professions were this good. The giant Empires started to have a war only to get him. They knew that if someone like him falls into the hands of other Empires or kingdoms then their kingdoms or Empires future will be in quite danger. War kept on going on. centuries passed but the war never stopped. But one day that mysterious person suddenly disappeared. Nobody knows where he has gone. Eventually the war between the empirrs calmed down. "

Sitaram continued, " The name of that person is Eric Dawson. He became the legendary figure. Soon he received a title. He came to known as 'The king of the world'. He was worthy of that title. Afterall a great war has begun because of him."

The crowd was totally dumbstruck. They didn't know that such kind of fearsome history has actually happened. Needless to say the principal of the Weissan Academy. He thought that he was very knowledgeable person in the entire Weissan town. Ofcourse after Sitaram. But after hearing this he felt like he didn't anything. He was wondering, How much of the things I actually know about this world?

Ringo and others who heard the entire story were totally dumbstruck. They felt that a person with no Magic Core are worthy to be called The demon's child. A freaking war has happened for a century. And that is also to get their hands on a single person. What kind of legendary person this Eric Thomson was?

Sitaram smiled and continued , " Arjun , If you want to become like Eric then I will definitely help you. What do you say ?"
