The Sage began teaching the Vedic Texts to Rav from the age of two.
At the age of 3, Rav began learning about the Divine Scripts, the knowledge of the gods, and the hymns that shaped the earth & sky & fire.
The Sage is very strict on what knowledge is shared with the boy. He wanted Rav to master Vedic texts and divine scripts, so he could choose the path of the gods. Sage wanted to hide the other side of the boy's blood; however, the blood pact with The Fallen One is stronger than any.
__________
The Princess always wanted to share her family stories with her firstborn, whom she believes will be an emperor.
She started teaching Rav the demon family tree. And their endless suffering in the seven caverns of the Alatap[1] the Nethralis.
Rav was endlessly fascinated by the tales his mother whispered to him. Stories of gods, demons, and the hidden wars beneath creation. Each night, he would curl beside her, eyes wide with wonder, tracing the shapes of legends in the air. And every dawn, he would wait eagerly for his father to leave for the waterfalls for his sacred bath, or into the forest where divine scriptures were sung and arts of light were practised. To Rav, those paths were gates to the mysteries he longed to touch.
Princess explained how her grandfather's generation was cast into torment until the Fallen One rose and won the Dawnfire.
And lost it again in the Great South War against the gods.
__________
On Mondays, the Princess was lost in prayer before one of the Three Supreme Beings. She was always pleading for protection; she already knew it could not last. Rav always plays in the forest near the house, in the animal shed, or in the farm land.
Rav requested that his father take him to the sacred waterfall multiple times to bathe. Sage always said he needed to complete his divine chantings so he could survive under the sacred waters. It is said that without knowing divine sacred hymns, entering the water will cause serious damage to the internal spirit realms.
One morning, when the sun bled into the clouds, his mother was lost in prayer, and the Sage was veiled in meditation. The boy began wandering into the forest in search of the sacred waterfall.
Barefoot and curious, the child followed his father's fading footprints along the forest trail.He giggled as butterflies scattered, and soon, he reached the top of the waterfall, where his father had once bathed and sung to the river spirits.
__________
There, the boy saw something sparkling, a fish with silver scales, shining like starlight under the water. He leaned forward to reach it, innocent and unaware that destiny had already stretched its finger towards him.
The rocks in the water slipped.
The air broke.
And the water swallowed him whole.
He fell, a streak of white and crimson through roaring blue, down into the stone basin below.
__________
Silence.
The boy's breathing stopped, and his heart slowed.
The spirits in the waterfall rushed towards him, but stopped after smelling the Fallen One's blood.
Then,....
A whisper, deep and ancient, echoes in his mind.
"Blood Pact — awakened."
"Intern Sage — awakened."
"Motor Spirit — acquired."
"Taking control of motor functions."
Unconscious, yet something moves him, a will not his own. He drifts toward the shore, arms pulling through the water in eerie precision.
Inside his mind, the voice speaks again, colder this time, calculating.
"No healing awakenings found."
"Converting life force to repair structural damage."
__________
The boy's chest rose weakly,
water spilling from the boy's lips,
As warmth, like liquid light, wrapped around him.
The forest grew still.
The water continued to roar,
And slowly the smell of the Fallen One faded, and spirits ran to help the boy.
The liquid light that wrapped the bot has faded.
__________
Some Spirits inform the Sage about the boy's situation and also inform that the boy is safe. However, hides the fact that they froze in fear at the smell of Fallen One's blood, and failed to help the bleeding & drowning boy.
_________
Intern Sage says,
"I have been watching over you from the blood pact"
God's curse for the demon blood and demons' hate for god's blood, the child's two bloods are hated the same.
"I am a blessing born from the curse of the gods and a blood pact made with the Fallen One."
The boy communicates back,
"I can't see you, I can only hear you"
"I am the memory of the Fallen One, and knowledge of the gods' seed. And I don't know what I am, but the fact that I know I am a sage at the Demi God level."
"I can't use my powers, I don't know the cause, but consciousness is telling me to get a name first, and also I am bound to you and serve you by the blood pact"
"So, I can name you. What would you like to be called?"
"Even I am a Demi God, my power senses are telling me, I am an Intern Sage, who is just equal to upper Awakened"
"As you are an Intern Sage, I would call you Sagin."
"Sagin, not bad kid", says Inter Sage Sagin.
