THE MYSTERY
The blue sky looked dazzling with stars all around it. The grass that lived green held shining bits that gave off a clear scenery that never left the eyes calm in the first place. Amidst the glittering grass was a small path that kept on shrinking for every step one took forward.
Walking in amazement, a teenager kept on going further as he followed the path. With his looks, it was crystal clear that it was his first time to step afoot in such a place.
I must reach the path's end for sure. This is a quandary that I can't bear leaving behind. I must get to know all its secrets.
A far from the teenager stood an elderly man in mid-air. Like a strong wall defense tower, he stood looking at the determined teen walking the narrowing path.
Caressing his white beard, he looked pleased with the boy's character. He was bold, determined, and filled with the spirit to fight.
He is the best person for sure. It has been three thousand years now when waiting from here. My waiting was never in vain. I am soon to rest in peace.
Looking ahead, the teen got a glimpse of the old man standing in mid-air. His heart sank in at lightning speed. That was an expert looking at him.
Dressed in all white an opposite of his surroundings. His white beards fell to his broad chest and his white long hair was to the current t-shirt fashion horizontal length. His feet closed in golden slippers, a sign that marked off his status.
Seeing that the teen was under fear yet not ready to show it out to him left him even more pleased of the young teenager. Fight your best to come to me boy and you will be pleased to know my identity.
Like a vehicle that has been refueled, he walked with clear determination this time not leaving out any bit of strength.
Crossing the short lively grasses, he came to a stop this time. The old man was moving at the. Speed of the wind clearly a picture of a great expert.
Scratching his head, Why have I got to forget it.
Old man, what is your name? I have at least heard of the experts present but never once did I hear of one walking at the wind's pace.
Shaking his head, he wondered if the present teen character. Possing a question in his mind...
You must be an old antique to stand in that aloof manner.
Your actions are of bravery yet your mind is telling you to run as fast as you can.
You might have got me there but you know this world is not fair, why is it that among the many people in the world, karma has to choose me for a friend.
Hahaha haha... Young lad, I have even liked you better than before. How about you find me then, you might catch a big fish from the route karma brought you today?
You know old man am only making fourteen tomorrow and hope to join a magic school after the test which I don't even know whether I will pass.
Looking at the grass before me, how will my small age and weak body manage to pass through a master spell cast by a person like you?
Hahaha hahaha...
Don't worry, that is a forbidden level spell.
A forbidden level spell! Old man, you don't have to call me anymore, even if you do, do you think I will go dumb in front of a nuclear misle like this one only for your little benefits.
Who in the world doesn't know what a forbidden spell is? It's one that can erase a clear country to smitten.
Everyone knows what a super spell can do in this current world least mention of a forbidden spell. Although it is rare to catch a sight of one, many say that not even a seed can survive such a spell yet look...
Old man, are you trying to scare me off since you think am here to rob you?
oh no! Knave, you got guts there if you have really come to rob me. Do you even know that the plant spell before you has its consciousness? How will you cross it to reach me with such words running in its ears?
Old man, do you also think I can rob you? If that's the case then I better practice robbery to reach masterhood in no time than going for loads of magic practices. I think I will attain wealth by stealing from the likes of you.
Hahaha hahaha ha...
The old man fell in a few seconds of laughter. ,😁😀😁. Young lad, in this world, only magic runs above money. Every magician in life per his magic mastery holds a good position.
Wait, did you say it is a plant spell with its own consciousness?
Yes, are you afraid now?
Why wouldn't I be afraid? I am only thirteen years old and have never had a chance to use magic, I am of course afraid now with the presence of death standing before me.
Lad, you don't have to worry, that is an advanced forbidden level plant spell, it will react on basis of one cultivation of inner energy.
Looking at you, your inner energy is very little so you will receive a little resistance from the guardian plant spell. I. don't have much time to wait for your progress in magic, you need to begin making a move now. Find me at the house if you cross the Guardian plant spell. Remember, I am the greatest genius to ever live in this magic world, so meeting me will reward you with my cheating device.
Old man, are you saying you still have your cheating device with you?
Of course, no one has ever crossed the Guardian plant spell in life, but there is a solution to crossing it, you should not have assembled more than four stars in magic.
Old man, are you saying if I assemble four stars in a path, I can not reach the house?
It's the Guardian plant spell's rule. No one can cross this Guardian plant spell in case you have assembled four stars in a path. Even a forbidden magician can not cross this place.
If even a powerhouse like a forbidden magician can not cross the Guardian plant spell, how will someone like me who knows nothing in magic cross the Guardian plant spell?
Don't worry, you have the best chances here to cross the Guardian plant spell. Although you still got some inner force in you.
What is wrong with my inner force old man?
You haven't had an awakening test to awaken your first magic element in the first place yet your inner force is a little vast based on your knowledge.
You could pass the Guardian plant spell without any hindrance but am afraid you are to face one from the Guardian and with your current body, you will not be in place to withstand a single strike from it.
Are you now back to your first self? Am guessing no one has ever reached the house only because the plant spell isn't the guardian of this place but you.
It is you that has hindered anyone from crossing this plant spell only because it is something you cast to keep your master in deep slumber in that house. And if am not mistaken, he is the best genius to ever live in this magic world, making him Ai Albert.
You are really wise to deduce my status to such a level kid. I have grown more fond of you now.
I will tell you the only way to cross the spell without any hindrance. Since you have never had a magic awakening test, cross the Guardian plant spell the moment you awaken your first magic element and this element must not be the plant element. If you awaken the plant element, just forget thinking of coming back to this place.
Hearing all his words, he kept silent for a few seconds before he raised his head to look at the old man.
Old man, If not mistaken, it wasn't to my thought to reach this place, you must have been the one to let me find it. But why don't you let me try crossing through the Guardian plant spell and take the cheating device for tomorrow? Remember, it's my fourteenth birthday and I will be going to the Magic Association Hall for the awakening test, what will happen if I fail the test.
Don't worry, you will pass the awakening test and the issue of crossing, it's to your choice.
Hearing this, he took a step in no time, stepping in the spell grounds and then the second one yet nothing happened. Everything was normal and still.
Old man, why would you tell lies before someone brave as me...
Aaaaahhh
Just in his speech, he took the third step and he was sent flying back with a loud bang. It was really fast that he did not have a chance to catch a glance of what sent him back.
