Chapter-6: Hunting wild hogs.
There was a sound coming out from the field and that sound was made by the hogs. They were destroying the field and running around. One of the villagers came on his path. That hog hit him and ran away. He had long teeth coming out from his mouth, black in color and a dirty smell was coming out from their body. When that hog hit that man, it was like someone punched him on his chest with full strength.
All the hogs were running in the field between long grasses. But Hero was finding them in the field; he was running around to find all the hogs. For a second he appeared in the field and vanished. Both Alice and Angel were standing far away but they could see clearly what's going on. That man shouted and told him that there are four wild hogs in the field. Angel was thinking that Hero was going to catch all the hogs by himself. She wondered if he did so. The Villagers shouted.
"Hero!! Have you found them?"
But no reply came.
Hero was inside the field and searching them. He uses his power to find them; he closes his eyes and listens to all the sounds which are coming. He can hear the sound of air colliding with the leaves. In between, he heard that sound which was made by the hogs. That time he had a spear on his hand, he threw his spear towards the sound. That spear moves towards the sound, tearing the leaves in two parts. That spear tears the skin of a hog and gets inside of his body. Angel was looking around because she wasn't able to see anything but suddenly a hog slides out from the field and all of them were shocked to see that because it all just happened suddenly.
Hero found another one and walked towards him without making a sound. But accidentally he stepped on the dried stick and a cracking sound appeared. That hog realized him and ran away from him. He quickly took out his second spear and threw it at him. That spear hit that hog and that hog died. Hero changed the field because he knew that the other two hogs would be on another field. He saw that hog, he put his hand back to get another spear but he realized that he was out of spear. … But he kept moving towards him without making a sound but suddenly he heard his name and that boy was his friend.
"Hero… two are left."
That hog ran towards Hero to hit him but it was his mistake.
He punched him on his head and that hog slide out just like before and died.
"Jack… I need a spear."
But his friend Jack does not have any spear with him. Meanwhile, everyone heard a female sound. "Hero!! Last hog is moving towards your house."
Meanwhile, his mother came out with a stick on her hand for her son. She was walking towards Daniel who is his friend who shouted recently to tell him about the hog. That hog saw Mary and he decided to hit her. He was running towards her and Daniel was inside the field. She saw the hog and was shocked because that hog was running towards aunt Mary.
She shouted to warn her but it was late. She shouted to inform Hero about that hog.
"Hero!! Your mother is in danger."
Mary was shocked and looked around and found one hog running towards her. He took a jump, she was shocked and realized that it was her last day. All the villagers were also shocked and ran towards her to save her from that hog. Suddenly, Hero jumped and came out from the field. He was in the air and shouted.
"Give me the spear."
Daniel threw that spear and he grabbed it and aimed at that hog. Everyone witnesses the spear. That spear starts burning and he throws that burning spear with full strength. That burning spear was moving towards the hog with the speed of light.
That hog was about to hit her but before he hit her, that burning spear took him away from her. Due to shock, Mary had dropped her stick and when she looked at that hog, she saw the spear passed through the body and its pointed section got stuck on the ground and that hog was hanging on the end of the spear.
… "All four dead."
He was very happy and shouting around the field but his mother's heart beat was very fast due to fear. All his friends and villagers were telling him that he had done a great job; otherwise those hogs would destroy their field. Daniel and Jack both were standing with him but both got shocked and ran away from him.
Hero was surprised by their behaviour, meanwhile, his mother grabbed his ear and asked him to go back to the house.
"AWW!! Mother…"
She took him back to the house and Angel was laughing to see that because he heard that he had many powers but right now, there was no power which will save him from his mother.
She shouted at him inside the house and due to her shouting, her husband asked the reason for shouting.
She told everything to him and his father grabbed his head because he had used his power again. … "Son… why?"
"Those people need my help."
Her mother took a seat on the head and she was full of anger. Both were looking upset because they keep telling him not to use his power but he does not listen to them and he keeps using his power. His mother told him politely that the powers which he had were too dangerous.
Hero was scratching his finger on the table because he had used his power and this time the new people in the village had seen him using his powers. At night, all three of them were in the kitchen section of the house and his mother was still angry at him. She was making food and her husband and was busy in counting profit in the food selling business. He smiled at him and the Hero used his power again. He can hear the sound of his father speaking inside.
"Today, she is very angry. I think I should go out with my friends."
Hero heard that and he told his mother that father was trying to go out with his friends.
Joseph was shocked and started laughing at himself because his son had listened to his talks. She looked at him with an angry face, Hero was smiling at him because he was not going to let him run away leaving him behind alone.
"Don't you dare?"
Hero was smiling, when his mother saw him, he quickly made an innocent face, she knew that she can't hide his powers from the world. She pointed her finger towards the cooking side. He saw that the woods were wet due to which she wasn't able to cook food. He starts to stare at those wet woods and suddenly, all the woods get dried up and start burning by themselves.
Hero had finished his food, he took his plates and those plates got cleaned by itself. He heard the sound of goats and sheeps from the back side. He went to check them but both Mary and Joseph were thinking about him.
"Many soldiers had seen those floating lamps that night. They will take action against us."
… Mary took her and her husband's plate and those two plates got cleaned by itself again and she put those plates in their places. She was thinking about her son. Her husband told her that they should go to sleep. Mary was sleeping but in her mind, she was thinking about her son. She had a dream and in dream she saw that burning spear again and all the people were talking about him.
She opened her eyes and saw her husband; Joseph was sitting on the chair and looking out from the window. He realized that his wife, Mary had woken up. He was looking towards the dark forest.
"Do you think our son can go inside that forest and come out alive?"
… She also looked towards that forest and looked at his son, who was sleeping out on the wood slab.
"I am thinking about those witches."
Joseph was surprised and laughed at her. But they were not the only ones who did not sleep that night. Angel was still sitting on her bed and thinking about Hero and his burning spear. She was thinking that Hero had found them all but how? She is also thinking about that spear when it catches fire.
Hero was sleeping but he heard some sound. He was alone outside, there was no one but he could hear the sound of many people who were crying and asking for help. He was moving his body but he still heard those sounds. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and found that the sun was about to rise. He shook both his ears and took one stamp of Azadirachta indica and started biting and went inside the house. "Mother… its morning time and I am going out for roaming."
