Chapter 2 - Two Letters

Seeing this Ray smiled to himself when he was successful in making that very little flame because to him progress was progress no matter how small it is it is still what it is .He tried a few more times but he was unable to do it .He still remembered his uncle's words "In life Ray you must give it your all when it comes to doing something always remember that this life is like a game of chess what matters at the end is whether or not the other side has been checkmated by the opposition.It was now 05:15 and it had been almost 45 minutes since he had tried making that flame he was exhausted due to the concentration it took his mind to make the flame .He once again went to take a shower .

After taking a shower once again he ate breakfast.He wore the school uniform so that he would be ready just in case Justin came .Justin was his childhood friend who lived almost 2km from his house."Its 05::55 I guess I should take the box and keep it with me so that when it is six o'clock I will unwrap the gift inside it though Ray as he took the little box and put it on the table.The reason why he respected what his uncle had said concerning his gift and why he should open it at six o'clock was because his uncle was his everything he always told him wise words and groomed him since he was a little kid.Since this was his last wish before disappearing the gift might be something that will help him have at least a clue that would help him in his quest .

O6:00 when he saw the alarm he had set on his phone he opened the box and unwrapped hthe gift .He saw an amulet and and besides this amulet there were two letters ,with the other one looking like it was older than the other.He firstly opened a letter that seemed to have been written not longer than the other . When he opened the letter and saw the handwriting he almost cried because this was his uncle's handwriting.When he read the letter he was touched not only was he touched he looked at the other letter before his eyes looked at the amulet in a weird way.These were the details in the later

"Hi nephew by the time you get this later I know that it would be on your sixteenth birthday at six o'clock,I am sorry that I have to leave you alone for the time being and I do not know when I will be back because it might be next year ,two years,five years later but I kind of doubt that because there is a matter I need to solve and we might meet after a couple of years so you make sure that you follow all of my instructions and what I have told you."The stories I told you were not folktales but there are real things that have happened and will constantly happen.Put more effort into your training and do not give up on yourself little one for you have great potential ."Only when you believe in yourself will you be able to come the hurdles , by the way the other letter was written by both your parents and the amulet is a gift to you so before taking the amulet read your parents' letter ".

When he read the contents of that letter he felt something deep inside him he was moved because as he looked at his parents' letter he revered it very much he did not have many memories concerning his mama and papa .He knew them from the pictures that were in his uncle's possession.Pictures of him and his parents' together were a bit many since they took pictures of themselves and their son from his birth to his fourth birthday.Sadly his parents went to the war that had taken place between the primordials and humns for about a year without ever returning home and they died .During that period he stayed with his uncle and after they died till now his uncle was his pillar of strength ,he was both his mom and dad.The thing that surprised him was why didn't his uncle mention the letter earlier and if the folktales he told him were true then this world would take such a drastic turn that would change the fate not only of this world but of this realm forever.

Before he read his parents' letter he took a deep breath and his hands were moving slowly as his hands slowly moved towards the old letter .His hands were trembling as they were about to reach the letter .When he unfolded it he did not know that his world would turn a very very crazy turn that would forever transform his life.
