Alaric was sitting alone at albus office he was thinking about everything happened so fast it just felt like some hours or minutes ago when he was having fun with his family and now....., he was deeply depressed he knows his family is out there but they don't know he is there.
On the other hand albus was not in his office , giving Alaric a little space for the first time he as sitting outside at the stairs of the Church and sevren was sitting beside him
" I feel bad for Alaric, Sevren " Albus said with a expressionless sigh
Sevren looked at albus then put his hands on albus shoulders and said " Can we change anything? The answer is no and that we both know very well "
" I know...but he is just a boy "
" When we can't change a thing then we shouldn't regret it "
" Yeah I wish we could learn anything for history"
" We don't learn anything for history....we just kept repeating it even after thousands of years "
" Poet Sevren " Albus said with an soft smile
" Nah... I'll pass Mr.Prodigy "
They both chuckled and once again they were quiet
Alaric who was more teary alone looked up at the ceiling when he heard a voice from behind
" You can Cry....it may help you to feel light "
Alaric looked back sharply only to see a maid who was cleaning office glass he looked at the maid and the maid said with a small smile " It can make your heart feal lighter " as she turned and went away slowly her figure vanished
" I wish I could " Alaric mumbled under his breath
Alaric once again tried to sleep but his eyes filled with tears but this time he didn't hold back .
Albus and Sevren finally walked inside the church and sat at the table near the cafeteria Sevren ordered two coffees and looked back at albus with a serious expression as he recalled something
" What is it ?" Albus noticed the change in sevren's expression immediately
" Eldrin "
" What ? Eldrin....oh you are asking about the preparations for ritual "
" In a way.... I heard Eldrin is coming"
" Certainly he is "
" Why ?"
" You already know " Albus said with a slight nod
As Sevren was open his mouth to speak thier ordered arrived Sevren motioned the waiter to put the coffee at the table, when the waiter went back he spoke " But don't you think it's way to fast ?"
" It is....but you know eldrin is current head of the church we can't change his orders "
" But think about alaric " Sevren whole taking a sip of his coffee
" Pawns don't have choices Sevren they simply follow the command "
Sevren didn't say anything he simply changed the subject and they talk around an hour when alaric walked outside from the office he looked at albus and spoke with an hesitation
"Can i go outside for a little walk ?"
Albus caught off guard looked back at Sevren and said " I guess yes "
Alaric without any further questions walked outside the hall as soon as he left the hall he heard albus and Sevren continued their chit - chat
The night sky was bright with the half moon shining like an very big star , stars were twinkling the sky was clear , Alaric sat at the stairs of the Church looked at the sky without any expression but he was feeling very different type of emotions.
After an unknown period of time when he saw a man coming from the entrance gate , the man was looking old with a long white beard who was wearing a circular shaped silver glasses , his eyes were brown in colour with white eyebrows.
He was coming towards Alaric , he was taking very small steps wearing cyan shirt with a very classic dot print and wearing a black jeans with travelling cloak.
He finally reached at the stairs of the church he looked at alaric who was still sitting looking at him he spoke with an smile " Follow me Alaric "
Alaric didn't hesitate he simply stood up and followed him , he didn't knew who he was but he knew that this man knows his name so he is someone at equal or higher level then albus and Sevren
Albus and sevren were also standing outside albus office and quickly recognised old man. They walked towards him and greeted him with a bow
The old man was non other then eldrin ashworth the current head of the church of God of sun & moon , eldrin looked at albus and said with an unreadable expression " Should webl begin ? I have to go somewhere urgently"
"As you wish sir " Albus replied with great sense of respect
Eldrin looked at Alaric and said " are you ready dear ?"
"I guess so but what do I have to do " alaric said blankly
" Nothing....just to follow my instructions" Eldrin motioned alaric to sit down at the floor
Alaric went a little near to Eldrin and sat there then he looked at Eldrin like an dog waiting for command , eldrin raised his one finger and motion it in a circular direction and then looked back at alaric and spoke " Close your eyes and Focus on your innerself "
Alaric didn't understand anything but he had to try, he closed his eyes and focused on his innerself , His vision suddenly changed and he saw a pitch black void , he felt like two different things are fighting mentally when he realised there was an figure outlined in the void , the figure looked at alaric with a smirk " I'll be Waiting"
Alaric suddenly snapped opened his eyes he found himself lying at the floor he looked at albus , Sevren and then eldrin , alaric was still confused who was that figure , was it real or his imagination but he felt some changes in his body.he looked at eldrin once again and met his eyes as their eyes met eldrin expression was leaking with fear as he tried to speak he coughed and then spoke with a slight hesitation
" You are an specialist "
