I hurriedly walked into the my uncle's house. I took Kacey by hand and led her to the outside. I had some good news for her. I didn't want to tell her first.
"Guess what little Kacey, I've got a surprise for you," I said as I showed her the mountain on the east. She looked at me with her sexy green eyes. The eyes that made me feel helpless everytime I got them into view. I looked at the ground. I never wanted to see her smile. Her smile was not a normal one that a child made. It was somehow like an adults smile. An adult who was seeking something from you.
"Kacey, I just want to tell you that your guess was right," I said trying to leave. She caught my hand. I looked at her. She was moving from side to side and her smile was unusual. I wondered why she behaved like that. I took her hand off me and walked away. I never wanted more problems with me.
I began to plan on how I will get in touch with the magician. I wished to be just like him. He was not like other magicians in the village. The other magicians are the one's who saw the revelations. You as a client was to sit and wait for the results. But for him things were different. The screen showed you exact results and how he got to it. He was an unusual magician. He never asked for a tribute to the Gods. And he also seemed to have advanced technology. He was a scientist, I reached my conclusion.I went to my room and took a rest.
The trauma that the magician inserted in me was still prevailing. If it would continue going on I would seek a psychological expert. I had learnt a few lessons from the visit. I had learnt that fear was the one which made me weak. I was supposed to beat it by all means. If I beat it then I will become an invincible. But how would I do it yet no one is immune to fear.
My intuition began telling me that something was wrong. I listened but the baby was silent. He had accepted the name. I closed my eyes and began to listen to anything strange. My ears began taking low pitched sounds from a long range. I heard as if someone was sobbing silently. I tried to figure out who it was. No image was coming into my mind. I assumed it was just imagination. I stopped it and went on with my imagination.
Something was wrong with my imagination. It had grown wilder. I began thinking of many things at a time. In it I saw flying with the magician to the skies and the stars. I imagined of walking on mars woth both my physical body and astral body. I imagined of existence of another civilization in our universe. "Millions of light years away, a civilization just like our own exists. It is a bigger reflection of us. I began writing the genocode. I think we humans aren't the original inhabitants of this planet. We must have originated from somewhere. I think evolution happened somewhere else and not earth. Wait they say we have a soul. A soul that is able to travel through dimensions. How many dimensions do exist? Is there heaven and hell? No dreams are just our imagination and revelation of our fears. So maybe soul doesn't exist... My thoughts I need peace. I need to rest. " I said hitting my small study table that was near my bed that I was sitting on.
I felt movement in my pocket. No one was in the room but me. Ghosts have already began haunting me, I thought, Oh myself what will you do then? You will have to go for exorcism. If I went to an exorcist I will have to explain the origin. Then uncle will be in problems. I won't be allowed to come here again. I just want to have time with the newborn baby. He is so cute like her sister. But also I am in love with his sister.
I went for the left pocket. It had something in it. A notebook, a lighter and a small green candle about five centimeter long. Candles were things used by ritualistic people. I was not one of them. I believed in purpose and work. I believed that as long as I was on the right path I would always receive blessings. There was no reason of doing many rituals.
Then I saw a shadowy figure near the wall. I screamed loudly, but no one came. Then from the shadow the mage appeared. I was extremely scared.
"Why are you following me?" I yelled.
"Oh, you called me hear," he said with his deep voice that was soft.
"How did I call you yet I don't even know your name?" I asked perplexed.
"Look at my hands, what do you see written on?"
"New student has just found out a secret. He is ready to be your follower. He confessed." I read.
"That is it. You were wishing to become like me. Do you see those three things they will help you become a magician like me. When Alpha grows a little bit, ensure that you tell him about a story of a person with his name. It is a long story but it is in the notebook. "
I wondered if the mage was sincere with his words. He said that the story is so long yet I saw the notebook with one page.
" I see doubt in you. Could you please light the candle. Then open the book and tell me what you see. "
I did as he said, I saw something that was so strange. I read the lines, Ikamba Delemonti, the wizard of the green lights, the last of the wizards clan. I was shocked to see that the moment I finished reading the lines they disappeared.
" I don't want to practice magic. I want to be a scientist. So leave you ghost," I said going to push him away.
"Kid, please you are not seeing me. I'm a projection only. Science that you learn can't explain it. How can empty air do that? And you know what I'm not where you see me. I'm in your mind. The only thing that is physical is the three things you have. I don't want you to be a wizard. The moment you tell Alpha the story I will take back my book. For now it won't open. "
Then the notebook moved into one of my drawers and it became sealed. I was finally relieved when he left but I was still in panic. Someone could feel my heartbeat at a distance. I was also sweating. I never wanted anyone to know what was going on. I wiped all the sweat and tried to calm down.
Then I heard a voice telling me, "You agreed. So strange of you."
I lied down with my stomach . People used to see me like this. It was a practice that I loved as they always thought I was meditating but I was asleep. Then the door slammed. It was Kacey. She entered and closed the door. I pretended not to have seen her. I can't fall in love with my cousin. What happened yesterday was a mistake. It was just a hug that you can give to your sister. It was not a romantic relationship. We were still children. Children were not supposed to date each other.
I heard her lamenting, "I searched and searched in the previous life. I never found. I searched and searched, now I've found but it is somehow wrong. I am still a small girl. I am not looking for children. I'm just looking for company but they just judge me wrongly. They say i behave wrongly. They say I'm still a kid. Who told you I'm preparing for marriage? They are wrong. So wrong. Is it bad to hug a boy? Is it bad to hug your cousin? It is bad and immoral to sleep with them. It is bad and immoral to make merry. I'm still a child but I'm a genius. In the previous life I tried but the master said it is never. Love is not what people think. I think they used the word wrongly. Love is different, so different. But my cousin is also part of the misinformation. He thinks the same as others..."
I felt pity for her. She was just still a kid. She couldn't have meant what she was saying. I raised my head. I saw tears rolling down her cheeks. I had hurt her that time. I took her by hand and sat on bed. She just wanted to here the words I love you, I decided to tell her that. It seemed her parents denied her parents denied her them.
"I love you, cousin," I said hugging her.
"I love you too," she said.
Then I felt great pain on my back. I groaned. She cried painfully."Repeat, what you were doing," a female voice said. It was auntie. She was holding a cable on her hand.
I couldn't stay there any longer. I began packing my things. I couldn't wish to see her unhappy just because of me.
Then the shadowy figure appeared again. It said," You did what you thought was right. Humans are full of prejudice. They won't understand what makes you do something. They base their judgment on certain principles. Don't be so mean. You passed the challenge. You would have been a good student." He disappeared.
Then I heard a voice," Alpha has the answer.
"You are banned from going to your cousins room," auntie yelled at Kacey who was kneeling.I had made a confession that extremely hurt someone. I regretted but she moved me to it.
