Chapter 3：Magic Library (1/2)
”You useless piece of shit, you better die!”
”Thud!”
An arrogant looking boy cursed, before kicking at the abdomen of the petite lad lying on the ground.
”Ahh!”
When the kick landed on his chest, agonised shriek echoed in the surrounding. He couldn't breathe normally. The corner of his eyes became wet because of pain and his fair face had red palm prints, while his black hair was in a complete mess.
When the searing pain diminished, he looked at the sneering face of the fatty, but didn't comment.
”Hahaha, look how pathetic you are. You don't even have the guts to fight back!” Said the fatty with a disdainful sneer, and everyone on the scene burst into a peal of laughter.
The petite boy lying on the ground gazed at the surrounding people and spat the mouthful of blood and fell on the ground motionless without uttering a word. Slowly his conciousness faded and everything became dark.
Under the tree was lying a young man around the age of seventeen, with black hair and fair skin. Suddenly, he opened his impassive eyes, which shined with unusual lustre. His gaze was giving an impression as if it could see through a void.
Ayaan looked towards the vast blue sky and sighed emotionally, ”I am not a weak brat anymore, but I still can't find her. I need strength, lots of strength, or I will never see her again.”
As he closed his eyes, the face of an enchanted beauty appeared in Ayaan's mind. She had long ruby-red hair which tumbled on her shoulders; she had honey sweet lips, and they were lilac soft; an enchanting red-eyes, and her smile was like cherry blossoms.
”Do you still remember me, or have you already forgotten about me?” a sigh full of longing escaped from his mouth — the longing words can not describe.
However, in just a second every emotion disappeared; what remained on his face was a frosty expression.
It's been a year since she had gone. But the yearning of meeting her only increased in his heart.
Subsequently, Ayaan opened his eyes and looked towards the tall gigantic banyan tree while murmuring, ”If I want to increase my strength in a short time, I have to enter that mysterious passage. I don't know if it is good or bad. But I have to try it, with my strength I can go nowhere in this world, much less find her.”
After that, he walked towards the tree and entered a vast cave on the root of the tree.
When he first found the portal, wounds were covering his complete body and blood was dripping continuedly. As his blood fell on the ground, he formed an invisible link with the tunnel. Thereafter, he was the only person who could open the portal and cross between two worlds.
However, he never went back to earth after murdering his uncle and his family, because there was nothing left for him. He didn't have any family, neither did he have any friends.
After entering the cave, Ayaan arrived in front of two passages. One was leading towards the earth while other was going towards an unknown place, giving a ghastly feeling.
The second passage was eerie, cold, and death like feeling was coming from it, creeping the sense of dread in anyone's heart. Ayaan stopped at its entrance for a second and suppressed the feeling of fear and anxiety.
Subsequently, the eerie coldness hit on Ayaan's face, but his heart didn't waver and suppressed the cold sensation inside his heart. Ayaan walked towards the entrance with his tightened heart.
He closed his eyes when he felt the increasing fear inside his mind and jumped towards the other side of the layer which was dividing the passage. Finally, the cold and dreadful feeling disappeared. What remained was the cooling sensation.
”Sigh… How long has it been since a new candidate appeared?” While Ayaan was looking around, a sigh full of emotion echoed in the passage. What followed was the voice of a girl which sounded like a sweet melody.
Eventually, Ayaan looked around and saw a beautiful snow-white bird. It had shining blue eyes, white feathers were like silk, and a beak that resembled a pigeon's.
Ayaan's eyes widened in shock when he saw such a beautiful bird and then remembered the voice he had heard just now. Immediately, Ayaan felt his throat dried from fear.
It took Ayaan a few seconds to adjust himself, but he suppressed the distressed inside his heart before voicing, ”W-Who are you?”
”Who? Me? Oh... I am the noble spirit of 'Magic Library' ” the bird looked towards the sky and said in self-proclaimed manner.
Ayaan looked at the small cute body of the bird and felt the urge to burst into laughter when he heard her reply, ”Well… you sure are a cute little small Birdy, but you don't look great and noble to me from any angle, ” Ayaan murmured, but the bird still heard him loud and clear.
The moment the bird heard his murmuring, she replied with an annoyed voice, ”Humph! How could a lowly human like you know about my greatness and awesomeness? I might be… cough… a little small, but my glory is unreachable!”
