The Legend Of Divine Mystics

These few extra chapters depict the time Ralph spent teaching magic to Anuja.

They may or may not have any link to the original story.

I shall soon be starting a new volume for this book. Till that time enjoy these chapters.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a beautiful morning, with birds chirping and flowers blooming to their fullest.

It was a refreshing lively morning or so I thought.

For the real excitement, was yet to come.

Moving to my usual practice location, to my secret paradise in trees I feel an unusual excitement.

Entering through the door hidden behind a curtain of creepers, I move towards the lake.

Today I shall master this spell for sure.

Thinking this I bring out my magic spells book and start with my 5th incantation.

Closing my eyes, I try to concentrate the flow of my energy around my palms.

A soft breeze of wind swept across my whole being. It made me feel much lighter, much happier and much fuller.

It was like my whole being was being swept away. It felt so great.

But then I felt my breathing becoming ragged, it was becoming difficult to concentrate.

I felt weak.

That's when I felt a cold hand around my waist followed by a cold sensation passing through my waist to cover my hands.

A sweet sensation taking place around the places that cool sensation passed through.

My breathing returned to normal. And with that cold sensation vanished.

A panicked feeling rising inside me.

I open my eyes to search for it, to search for him.

But what I see on opening my eyes was truly magnificent.

Ralph starring towards me with a worried expression. His eyes a little beady. His face covered with creases and sweat. This is the first time I saw him in such a situation.

"Ral...Ralph", said I with a broken voice my throat too dry to speak.

With a finger placed on my lips to silence me.

He said, " Dont speak!!! You must be weak right now. I was s.....so sc.....scared. I thought I lost you...

Dont do that ever again. Do you know what you even did?!?!"

His scolding making me teary-eyed.

Getting the situation Ralph calms down and looks towards me with a sorry expression.

"I didn't mean to scold you its just that...

It's just if I didn't interrupt at that given time you could have died. You magic was flowing out of your body at a much faster rate pulling out your life force along with it...

But now everything is fine"

Trying to stand up on my own I feel a pair of hands supporting me. I move them away thinking I can stand up on my own, it's not that much of a big deal. Come on.

With that thinking, I stand up with a jerk and as soon as I'm straight upright I feel world spinning and a blackness covering my vision.

Falling down.

"Anuja!!!

Anuja!!!"

In my unconscious state, I hear a blurry voice calling for me and a pair of strong arms shaking me.

But I couldn't reply. It felt so frustrating.

My throat felt parched.

For some time there was a peaceful silence those arms that were shaking me earlier left me alone.

I was overcome with a sudden burst of loneliness but this was only for a short period of time.

Feeling cold wet drops of water on my face made me feel better and refreshed.

Trying to open my eyes I feel someone staring at me intensely.

It took we about 15 minutes of struggle to open up my heavy eyelids.

During all this time, a supportive voice was telling me to keep on trying.

And on waking up I find Ralph right beside me.

Seeing me awake he takes a sigh of relief.

And lifts me up with cautious movements trying not to hurt me.

My body felt quite weak from all that ordeal from before with no energy for any kind of argument.

So I decided to go with the flow.

He carried me back to my room and laid me on a soft comfy mattress in my room.

"You must rest now Princess. There will be no practice for next few days!!!

Do you get it?!?!", said Ralph in a strict tone.

Feeling estimated by such intense pressure and a unexpected or unseen form Ralph I agree to it.
