Alaric was standing at the backyard of the church , the backyard garden was well cleaned but there were some dry leaves were lying at the ground , albus was standing in front of alaric looking at the half dried tree from which leaves were falling.
"So " Albus spoke turning towards alaric " Should we began ? "
Alaric quite amused by albus asking him permission in a way , but he knew this is all formality, alaric didn't opened his mouth to spoke he simply nodded
Albus nooded at alaric nod and snapped his fingers of right hand and suddenly all the dry leaves were gone.
Alaric didn't flinch or get shocked at all"Before we began if you have any questions you can ask me " Albus spoke looking at alaric
Alaric looked at albus , he has prepared many questions but he never expected something like this , he knew very well that he can't ask too many questions so he simply decided to bring the number down
Whats important now ? About myself is my priority but I know he'll not answer....okay so the best option is to ask three questions which he will answer me easily and others I'll found out soon alaric thought to himself
" I have three questions" Alaric spoke after a while , albus didn't say anything but tilted is head a little saying proceed through his body language
" First Question Are there other churches as well and if yes how many ?"
" Yes " Albus spoke raising his paw and raised two fingers which indicated number of other churches " Church of God of peace and Church and of God of revolution" Albus finished putting his paw back to his pockets
" Second question....There is always a cost of power and I assume here will be the same so what's the cost if my assumption is true?" Alaric spoke looking at albus shoulders as he was able to sense a flow of conduit passing through his body to somewhere....
" There is " Albus looking at alaric as he saw alaric looking at different direction but he didn't stop " We call it Abyss.....and I'll tell you about that soon but not now "
Alaric listened him carefully but he wasn't afraid as he knew it will not affect him but he was not entirely sure , when he first heard about how he came into existence from thin air he started to consider himself something different not special but different.
" Last question Is there any principle or rule which may help to grow better? " Alaric asked fixing his shirt awakardly
" There is " Albus spoke without any hesitation " The principle is Imagination is the key "
" Imagination is the key " Alaric repeated with an unreadable expression
key....key of what ? There must be something.....but what it is ? There are only two possibilities albus knows but he won't tell or...he also don't know Alaric thought to himself but quickly came back to his senses , he looked at albus and spoke with an hint of excitement " Should we begin the session?"
" Why not " Albus answered looking at the grass beneath his feets
" There are mainly four types of conduit energy uses Remember they are primary they can be derived " Albus spoke anxiously looking as he saw something that didn't mean to be here
Albus was continuously looking at his back and spoke very fastly " Today I'll tell you about two types of uses first is conduit for attack and defense also know as warrior and other is conduit of modification I don't think I need to tell it's uses just remember what I did to your 'fake' family " as soon as albus finished he rushed towards the direction he was looking at , alaric jaw clenched as he saw albus running towards the main gate.
He immediately remembered what he just said 'fake ' family , this time he felt disgusted towards albus , the very moment he started accepting all this albus make him remember something miserable
" So what do i do ? " Alaric shouted from the back looking frustrated and angry at the mention of his family or so called 'fake' family
Albus didn't looked back he spoke loudly " Practice and go back inside the church "
Albus who was running towards the energy he sensed instead of getting teleportion because there was public as well as albus left the church he reached at the main road beside which church was established.
He stopped there for a moment and rushed towards the right direction after running for a while he reached a market
The market was crowded, vendors were shouting and the place was overcrowded, albus was walking towards the energy he sensed the more he walk inside the market the strong the energy becomes as he finally reached an spot suddenly he wasn't able to sense energy at all.
He was outside and small circus just a little ahead of some kids were playing with a strange looking clown
The Clown instead of wearing an ridiculous outfit which make people smile the Clown was wearing an black outfit with dark crimson spots which looked like blood spots instead of wearing an pastel colour mask with exaggerated smile he wasnt wearing a mask at all instead he uses real pastel colour but instead of looking funny or ridiculous he was looking creepy.
Albus stared at clown from side , the Clown also seemed to sense huk but didn't react all , the Clown who was shaking hand with an kids finally let go and looked at albus , albus looked at him and meet his lavender eyes , the clowns black hair were covering some part of his forehead as he looked at albus and spoke in a calm voice " Long time no see "
" What are you doing here ?" Albus asked anxiously pointing a finger at the man's face
" Nothing just for a walk " The Clown spoke in a teasing voice
" Don't play with me " Albus spoke looking angry before the Clown could spoke albus immediately added " I have done first part of the deal why are you here now ?"
" Because of the second and main part of the deal " The Clown spoke without a single change in his expression
" I told you I haven't confirmed it yet "
" You know very well Albus confirmation doesn't matter if he don't have the trait he is still Child of God " The Clown spoke a little softly but strangely it felt like more dangerous
" I know Flint but things take time "
" Then cook it faster I am always on stand by"
" Flint...the whole church headquarters is here " Albus leaning forward
" And the whole market is here with many innocent including kids " Flint spoke with an smile that explains what he meant
Albus opened his mouth to speak but before he could speak , flint raised his hand which meant albus to shut up and flint looked around for a moment and asked " What's today's date ? "
" 4 November 1949 " Albus immediately answered
" Before year 1950.....I want Child of God to be prepared for me "
