"What are we going to do now...""Hey, have you got any ideas how to get food?" says a ragged boy who looks weak because of Malnutrition. He has silver hair Akin to snow. "It's been 3 days since I have eaten anything... ""What do expect from this place Kaine? Someone to spoon feed you! Dream on!"Dylan has a golden hair sharp nose if not for his life he could have been a handsome man."Ha! When did the world become so kind Dylan?.....we are lucky! 15 people have died due to lack of food the other street. The people say that the current King is good. But still the Church is better at saving People like us." as he looks an Oldman who Guarding the massive gate which leads to inner city of Kingdom , "At least the Oldman has a way of living.""Don't worry we are still young and have a hope" said Dylan"Hey Kaine lets go to lords church for work and they provide some food for our work that's the only way..."Dylan looks at Kaine expecting some answer."when did they begin to recruit weak people like us?" said Kaine"I Don't know but yesterday a clerk of the church came announcing the streets that they are going to hire any worker available. Although They Di not mention what kind of Work they sure announced free food for any worker" said DylanAfter thinking sometime a wild idea hits Kaine "Thats very suspicious. what if we got sold into a slavery?""you sure have wild ideas. Besides I don't think that's possible because the church is in the periphery of Kings Castle. Even though its a bit small it still has its preference. There might be a high Magus always watching" says Dylan."that's true...anyway what is the procedure for joining?"Dylan replies "I don't know we must visit church first!""Yeah if we got work we must listen to their Yapping , that would be so boring...."Kaine retracts his gaze from kingdoms Gate and wonders what is better if the yapping of the priest or the hunger that kills him two days at max."You know you sometimes act like you got some better ideas.....I know you got none so lets go church and get some work and food?" Dylan holds Kaine hand and slowly moves towards the church.Ever since he can remember Dylan and Kaine have been through everything together.After reaching the destination what stands before them is Huge silver inlaid doors around 10 feet tall.Both boys reach the Gate with full of hopes. Kaine having PTSD walks right behind Dylan. 'lets talk to the guard first". Kaine looks at Dylan and asks "why does the church wants weak people like us? we don't even have enough strength to do basic work!"Dylan looks at Kaine and sighs...The Guard is listening to the young man words looks at the road behind and finds a marble inlaid carriage marching towards the church. It belongs to the Junior Father Marcus. He was known to be the strict and influential . The entire town knows it and doesn't want to get to his bad side."The people in the Church are not favored by the way they look but the way they are able to serve the god". A voice sounded across the entrance. Then The Guard uses the whistle and calls other guards to push open the massive door.Then the carriage walks inside the church. The guard from before rearranged as it was before and goes to look up to the children. "If you came for work then let me tell you the details first. The church is in need of clerks with powers. So you are given 5 days of training both physically and mentally. After that you will be selected as clerks of church"Then after some thinking Dylan was about to say yes. Then Kaine From Behind asked" what about our food and accommodation?"Astonished by the child question the guard replies "You will get a porridge and a Godown to sleep Afterall no one can concentrate if they are hungry."Dylan ponders and asks "why is the church accepting clerks now. Previously the church didn't accept Beggers like us "The Guard thinks and after some time "you will come to know when you are ready"Then Kaine and Dylan are guided to warehouse. There they stayed until next morning. During this they had porridge and wheat bread as dinner. They along with few more children attended Training everyday. Their Day consists of listening and learning various languages and about this world.Kaine learned that Their planet was called Aetheris. The Planet had by far explored and 5 continents are discovered. The continent They are living in is called Elda. The church In the Elda continent worships God of Water - Marenos. There were other gods worshipped in other continents like godess of Life Amarae in the continent Ryn and God of Fire - Caldris in the continent Cora. The other two continents Varn and Lira worships God of Thunder- Auryon and God of Death Vexor.The Church described Gods as the beings who protected humanity from devils. All the gods protect the planet from the So called evil. Together all the gods are described as the power cycle.The Church and the king are in the same boat of worshipping the god of water Marenos. What Kaine found interesting was the term Magic. It is described as the gift of god. After Going through the training, they will be tested for their attributes of magic.Kaine and Dylan then begins Physical training. They begin with small Strech and last until they can't move their body. Immediately they are transferred to a chamber for exposure of Energy for magic cultivation. Both Kaine and Dylan Gained A good shape during the training.This continued until next five days. Kanie Has learned more than ever about magic. Then on sixth day, the day that decides the future of Kaine arrived. The Priest of the church escorts them to the statue of water god- Marenos. Everyone including Kaine looks at the statue and begins admiring the divinity in the statue. A collosal figure sitting on Tidal waves, with crown on his head filled with rubies. Each rubies seemed to contain an entire ocean. The collosal figure eyes were filled with starlight. Upon observation Kaine found out that each starlight represents a ocean with mysterious creatures contained within the eyes of the god. The collosal figure held a trident made of water. The trident emits a holy light. The figure wears a tight Armour made from the unknown creature. He looks like one who is ready fight anyone at the same time showing mercy to the ones believing in him. The Figure seems to be in stance of throwing something into the skyThe priest then announces" My children today is the day you all are going to gain your attributes for you are magic. Everyone come to the statue of God and pick the water in the container Infront of God statue. Then place the water in your hand. If your attribute is water then the water floats in air all the way to the statue of the god. If you have thunder attribute The water emits a lightning, if your attribute is death then you will see a spirit accepting your call. If your attribute is life you will see a life growth in the water. If fire is the attribute then the water in your hands will boil"Kaine, Dylan and other students carefully listened to the priest instructions and one by one started testing their affiliation with magic. There were around 60 people. First person to the test was called then he held the water in his hands. The moment he held the water the water slipped through his hands. Looking this the priest said "you have no affiliation with magic. Next!" One by one all the students were doing the test. Now it was Dylan turn.The priest poured the water in his hands. Due to fear he closed his hands and waited for results. Dylan felt as if he saw some lightning through his closed eyes. The lightning then disappears into underground. Then the priest announces "you are blessed by the god of thunder."Everyone in the church looks up in Dylan. Some with admiration some with pettiness and some with satisfaction.At last it was now the turn of Kaine. As usual the priest poured the water into the hands of Kaine. Kaine closed his eyes possibly ready for the worst outcome. Then The sky becomes gloomy seemingly protecting the church from something in the sky. After sometime even the cloud was about to be tainted with mercury color. The sky rumbles and a thunderstorm rain takes place. This sudden phenomenon is visible across the continent.Some where in the Elda continent a figure wearing A starlight dress praying to a statue similar to the one seen by Kaine suddenly looks at the sky and tries to find the reason then he looks in the opposite direction all the way to a golden castle as high as mountain. Some where in the royal golden Castle. A figure wearing a crimson Crown is attending the meeting of Ministers meeting notices the sky. He immediately jumps into the sky creates a whirlpool of water . The water then travels to the sky and merges with the sky. Then the place where Kaine is the weather changes as if nothing happened before. The actions of king scared the ministers. Then king with tone of authority commands "The meeting is concluded. Send envoy to The pope and bring me the report. Tell that maniac that next time I will have him Filling the entire energy reserve if he Forces me to do a work".Kaine watches as the weather above was inconsistent moment ago now seemingly normal. Out of everyone nose a gas formed with eyes enough to for anyone to identify it as ghost formed. As it was about to devour Kaine entirety the priest pulled him out of the devil's mouth and saved Kaine. unknown to everyone the water in Kaine hands produced Thin black gas.Before anyone could respond "The child is favored not by God of death...But the Death itself. That was the devil is a high ranking one!"
