Chapter 6 - 0006 Mad Boy and Mad Man

Outside the village gate facing the national highway ,a crowd is gathered. Various wagons, carriages and horse drawn carriages can be seen ready for departure. In the luggage wagon a woman with white hairs and a child lost in his thoughts are sitting quietly. Compared to noise and departing promises from other villagers o departing children, these two seem to be very lonely. Coming back to his senses Nile asks his mother, "Mama do you have anything else that you can tell me?"

"I can't tell you anything more about them. You are not ready for the knowledge."

"I got that but I am not asking about them. I was asking about your darkest time. Because as long as I remember we were living in this Village."

"Oh child, I seriously don't want to tell you about it but It is something that you must know today or tomorrow. First promise me the thing I have taught you daily About leading a happy life and not ruining it with some ambition, revenge or evil."

"I know mama, you have taught me daily about living a life without any Dark emotions.And I promise you that my actions my life Will be defined by my happiness not by any evil."

"Very well ,Listen Carefully ,

I know it's a lot to take but I also know that you can handle this little setback as you have choosen The path of martial which is full of such setbacks."

"Such a Mad man, mama how can you fall in love with such a person?" says Nile feeling endless anger and fury.

"Oh little child when did I say I fell in love with him. It was your mother who fell in love with him." Says his Mother.

" What!," Nile confusingly exclaimed forgetting all his anger and rage.

"I'm not your mother Cutie. I am your stepmother. I am the arranged wife who married that madman,"says his mother.

Having tears in his eyes Nile crawls to his mother and begs,"Don't say that Mama, you are my Mama."

The mother sighs and embraces the child patting his back,"All right, all right ,that's enough of dark talk for today."

After some time Nile quiets down and finding the suitable opportunity his mother points outside the village,"Look there Nile,National Highway Leading directly to central town From where We can Teleport to island number 112 which have developed up to a city. That is the place we are gonna settle Down Until You have outgrown the strength that can be developed there." Looking outside and observing the other villagers ,"Okay Mama but I want to ask why so many children move to town Every year specially why the children between 9 to 10 years old."

"Well you see in our nation children study from early age of four years. By the time they reach 9 to 10 years either they have completed their Village study or they have failed it.Those failing even in the village study are better of living their whole life in the village.

And those who managed to pass and outgrow village studies may further move to towns for another three years of a study.

If they even manage to pass that then they can further be promoted to City colleges.

On graduating from City College's they can also further study in one of the nine Great City colleges.

Moving up from the city colleges there are also Capital College and Royal Academy In the capital of Nation.

You see in our nation there is a rule that every child must go through these steps of study even a Royal Prince start studying from a village moving up to town then city then great city and then to the capital."

"So Mama will I be studying in Town school," Nile asked."No silly boy, where will you get the money to study. We will be staying on your friends property. Now that he have left his property to you we will live there and try to maintain the establishment to cover up our financial needs,"preaches his mother.
