Chapter 4 - The History of Stars and Magic

[The History of Stars and Magic]

In late 18's kids started to born with magic in them.

It was a strange phenomenal to ever happen in Stars history.

(Stars : Here the use of word Star in meant as Beings "After you die you become a Star".

This phrase here in this Planet is used for after being born not after dying.)

As the Magic took hold over the body of newborn baby's they grow up to be strong and powerful in term of normal Humans.

One day a being born with Dark Magic which was never seen before.

With the fear in eyes people started to think that the child was cursed from birth as the child born in last 20 years were all born having light energy as a magic but this child had dark power as it's source.

The child was outcast even his father gave up on him.

But his mother begged everyone not to call him a curse and to not outcast him.

Nobody listen to what she had to say and treated both like a bad omen for them.

So, on the night of Full moon she took of with her child in the forest as the mother was still young and beautiful there were some people having their bad eyes set on her and was waiting for her to be outcast so they can have their way with her.

On the night she took off in hope of getting a better life somewhere else with her kid but that was the night she experience the worst face of human the horrible and painful thing one cannot survive.

In the forest where she was with her child, was the place used by drunkards.

Unknown to that facts she walked in the cave in hope of letting her child sleep in peace and comfort.

She drank water from small pot she took with her and few loaf of bread as a meal to eat when very hungry and then made a bed for the child to sleep on with her clothes.

As she sang the sweet lullaby, and child fall into slumber in his mother's arm.

The lullaby was not only sweet for the child but was sweet enough to attract those drunkards having drinks in the deep part of the cave.

The mother's gut feelings are never wrong and were giving her a sign to run, to be safe yet she ignored it all cause her child was finally able to sleep in peace after so many nights of yelling and abuses on being a curse.

[At 3am In Mid of Night]

The child waked up by thirst, as he opened his eyes to see his mother to ask for water she had brought but couldn't see her there in the bed.

The child wandered around to find his mother only to see her laying in the corner of the cave.

Her clothes torned apart, body having black marks as if beaten and dirty clothes pieces near her body which was not hers and the worst blood pool surrounding her body.

The child was just 7 years old yet he had seen this type of dead body of other women going to cemetery to burn.

It took him not much time to figure out what had happened to his Mother.

The boy started to muffle while taking a step forward his mother's body hoping she was not dead.

Sniffles*

As he touched her cold body the tears he had been holding in hope now burst out in heavy flow.

He who had always loved his mother for how much she loved him was now regretting letting her love him as much as he loved her.

A child who was only 7 years old boy was now blaming himself for her death, if only..... if only I had been a powerfull curse everyone was talking about.

If only... I-I was powerfull in the bad way as they say i would be in future if not killed when still child, maybe I could have saved her;

The child was powerfull but he was yet to experience something to trigger his power that's why he was helpless before.

But Not Now.

The tears was now dried,

leaving a traces of tears that had faded.

As the morning comes with raising sun, the boy was still in the same position as he when he found that she died.

The boy hugging his dead mother in his little arm for last few hours,

he was now in rage. Now he was not crying instead he was angry at the people who did this to his mother.

As the sun started to set he was now feeling hunger and cold.

He started to eat the last 2 (two) pieces of bread and hid the body of his mother with the clothes he had used as bed and blanket.

Only after he had gave up on the hope of taking his mother with him to burn the body he hear some footsteps, with glimpse of hope in his little eyes he walked towards that footsteps only time see them already coming his way.

He shouted with all his might as he was feeling week due to malnutrition because his father would not let him eat if his mother was not at home. He asked them to help him to carry the body to cemetery.

As the man came over his way he was feeling little happy to be able to hold funeral for his mother, but then he hear them talking about his mother as if the knew her.

"Do you know my mother uncle? Boy Said. "

*giggle*

–Well, we know her very well kid, she was looking very pretty last night to hold back,

but now look at her she is just a corpse which can't be used with all the spoiled blood flowing from her body.

"What did you said, last night? boy asked"

–yeah, kiddo LAST Night.

What are you looking at, huh? goona do something about it?

The child was now in pure rage by thinking about what they did to his mother he couldn't suppress his Dark energy anymore,

he burst with all the Magic from his core and ignited the Forest with Fire and fury.

As his magic took the hold over his body he loosed his sense and burned everything to ground with his mother's body in between his flame.

[He felt a gentle touch on his face as her body turned into ashes.]

Soon after he came to his sense,

then he saw some people wearing black cape and tried speaking to them.

The people in black cape were already fearing him after he burned the forest down.

But as he loosed his conscious they took the kid with them and feed him.

Seeing him in action last night those people thought he was a incarnation of God and started to worshipped him like a God of Dark Magic.

That's when the world started to divide in Dark and Light or Good and Bad based on color of the magic.

This incident led people to fear Dark Magic and thus the people who came together to stop the heretic acts of those Cult people

Worshipping Dark Magic in the name of God.

With this started the biggest war in history by the fanatics of the Dark Cult who worshipped dark magic against the People who followed the Will of God in the name of Light.
