Chapter 2 - Conspiracies and a bright morning

"My prince, my prince"

"What's the matter, Alfred?"asked Edward Maverick, the crown prince of Avalon

"It's about your brother Rolland"

"What is that good-for-nothing brother of mine up to now",said Edward with a smile.

"My prince it is more serious than you can imagine. He is conspiring against you."

"What's new in that? Isn't it the usual?"

"This time he is trying to use the powers of the dragons. Last night we were informed that they appeared in the Royal City."

The prince shockingly replied,"What dragons here? How is it possible?" He tried to maintain his calm and asked," Tell me more about it."

Alfred explains the whole story to him.

Edward replied," So it is a male,huh."

"It was a positive energy, so we could figure out that it was a male. Moreover, since the energy was weak , it could have been a kid."

"So this is your plan, huh, Rolland", thought Edward.

"You may go now, Edward, and as always I appreciate for which you do for me."

Alfred bows and leave.

The next day, a bright morning.

"Good morning Mom and Dad."

"Good morning ," my father replied.

"Good morning, El.Did you sleep well?"asked my mother.

"Yeah, I did."

Mom served breakfast.

"Dad, let's go out . Today we have a holiday."

" Where do you want to go?"

"The marketplace."

"Dear", said my mom to dad," why don't you bring me these ingredients since you are going to the marketplace."

Mom handed the list to dad.

After getting ready, my dad said," Off we go."

It was a bright sunny day, with the birds chirping.

The marketplace was not to far from our home. As soon as we reached there, we were greeted with the noise of the people. The marketplace was bustling with people. My favorite stalls are the ones which sold swords, armors, magical stuff and more. I love those things.

Dad got mom's ingredients while I was busy gawking over the weapons stall. The shopkeeper was trying to ignore me no matter how much I ask the same things. I did not understood why.

Dad said," Let's go."

After reaching home we had lunch and then I went to play with my friends.

Thus, a day well spent.

Next day we had school, so I went to bed early.

The following day at school.

"Students, we have a surprise for you,"said the principal of the school,"You know it's time that your power awaken and so next week we will begin with your awakening ceremony."

The children were elated on hearing the news. It is the dream of every child to go through the ceremony. Through this they could know their inherent powers and could choose their future prospects. That day, on returning home, I told the news to my parents. I, too ,was very happy about it.

After I went to bed.

"Should we tell him, honey?"

"No, no. We definitely cannot. Not to our kid.*sob* *sob*."

"I know it's hard for you but at some point of life we have to tell him or we will be the one to be blamed."

"I don't care about all that. I just want my son. We can't tell him now. He is just a young and innocent boy."

"Let's wait till he is mature enough to understand."

Somewhere else.

"It's been two days and you have found nothing. Not the slightest clue. And there my brother is making his own plans. I knew. It was Alfred. That freaking slave of my brother. You morons."

"But, my Lord , we are trying are best."

"I want no excuse. Find that dragon before my brother does. Now go."
