"Okay, Good morning Alvah". He said opening the door. Alvah looked at him, still lying on the bed.
"Get dressed", he threw an outfit for him to get into.
Alvah caught it, he looked at him and asked, "Do your students get a uniform?"
" It's not a uniform, but it's a clothing that fits you perfectly, get into it and meet me at the sea side". He said this and left.
Alvah stood up lazily to go change. After some minutes he came out in his new clothes, went straight to go meet the old man at the sea side.
" There are no words" , the old man said after gasping. " You look fabulous".
" Was that why you bought this?" , Alvah asked. He replied simply, "It really brings out your man physique".
"You should at least appreciate me". "Thank you".
"You're welcome". He responded with a grin
Alvah was putting on a black long sleeve with an inner turtle neck top, with a black trouser and boot.
He styled his hair in his usual long ponytail with his two side hair that covered part of his face.
" I've thought of how to begin your training and why not start now. Sit down", he tapped the ground beside him.
" This training is more of your inner mind and inner strength, do you understand. I need you to concentrate, I want your desire to be nothing more than neutrality".
" Is there any one or anything in your mind at the moment". He observing his facial expression.
"No", he nodded.
" Perfect, I want you to empty your heart". Alvah looked at him. " That's right, your heart is impure, do you understand".
Alvah kept quiet. "You are of evil Alvah, so you think your heart is clean?".
Alvah sighed.
" I don't mean to hurt you. Can we get started. I need you to calm your mind, think of all things that cause you anger, how you would have gotten rid of or wish to get rid of them, then relax".
" I don't know how long this would take you but, take your time".
Alvah sat In a meditative positive, doing exactly what he was told.
The old man looked at him and smiled. He stood up, going inside to get something to eat.
Alvah stayed in that position from morning till evening. The old man wondered how much of an anger he bore that he wasn't done up till the evening. When he got outside Alvah was still meditating.
He walked closer and tapped his shoulder to stop him from meditating any longer, when he touched him, his clothe was hot.
He walked to his front and touched his forehead it was burning. " What is wrong with him?", he asked himself
He slapped Alvah on the cheek, the moment he did that Alvah's eye opened with his red eyes active.
"You"....
Alvah looked at the old man. The old man froze up looking into his eyes. He held Alvah's hands, it could be said to be on fire. Instantly he realized that his surrounding was hot all along
He looked at Alvah again and asked, " are you okay?" , he asked. Alvah stood up, turning his gaze from the old man to the sea, he looked down at him, his eyes were normal.
The old man was dumbstruck. " I'm okay", he finally responded.
He went inside leaving the old man alone outside. " Despite the fact I left him here with the aid of the sea breeze, he still burned up".
He walked into the house, Alvah was sitting on the dining chair drinking some water. " Why are you so quite?", the old man asked him to at least end the present silence.
He looked at the man, " Nothing" he replied in a flat tone.
" Speak to me", he walked and sat opposite him. " Do you harbor this much anger, don't you have someone to relieve you of some burden".
He replied to him. "That's personal".
" Your eyes". The old man's eyes couldn't stop looking at them. Alvah looked at him, " Why was it so red?".
He smiled, " that's common".
"I like you", the old man said after staring awhile at him. Looking at Alvah in the eyes although Alvah wasn't looking at his.
'You will surely get what you want, maybe not now, but anytime soon. I'm not sure why you are an infernal in the first place'. The old man said to himself.
" Get some rest, we'll continue tomorrow". He left to his room.
Alvah stood up, turning off the lights, he entered his room, closing the door behind him, he went ahead and slept off.
The next day,
" Do you need anything", Adalyn asked her father. " Go meet Emmett, he would give you some piece of iron. Be back home before five", her father ordered.
She left to Mr Emmett's home to retrieve the iron. She walked through the streets on her own, smiling at all times, greeting the elders, they would bless her, till she got to Mr Emmett's house and received the iron.
When she got back home, it was around 4:18, she looked at the top of their roof, she saw someone who covered his face, looking at her. She smiled and waved at the person and walked inside.
Alvah laughed then teleported away.
"Sister!", she shouted when she got inside, after dropping the iron, she ran to her room to meet her sister who was asleep.
"Come with me", she said pulling her. " Let go of me" Della said. "He's here", Adalyn spoke.
Della's eyes shot wide open, " let's go", she pulled Adalyn all the way outside, she opened the door asking " where is he?".
Adalyn walked further outside looking at the roof, he was gone. " He was up there", she pointed.
Della looked at her in a state of confusion, " why would he be up there, are you seriously making this man up?".
"I'm not. He's real, he....his name....his name is Alvah". "Alvah", Della repeated.
"Yes", she nodded. "Alvah", Della repeated once more.
"Yes". She got tired of answering but had to to to prove to her sister.
" Let's go inside". she held her hand. " Sister, you have to get married sooner", Adalyn shouted.
" What's wrong with you, I never said I wouldn't get married why're you all pressuring me to get married".
Adalyn held tears in her eyes. Della who was looking away, looked to the side, looking down only to see her sister with tears in her eyes.
" Why are you crying" she asked with her voice even warmer than before.
Adalyn ran inside leaving her sister outside. "Wait...." she ran after her sister.
" Why so late, where were you?" The old man asked Alvah.
" Somewhere, I'm sorry. It's night already, do you think we can still do the training".
" I'm not stopping, you choose to still go ahead and meditate, I wouldn't disturb you, until you've eased yourself this session of training isn't over".
