In a library, a guy and a girl were sitting together emerged in a book and suddenly the girl asked"Alen, do you really beleive there are beast powerful enough to destroy a nation?"
The guy smiled and replied"These are called mythical beasts in books for a reason, no one has ever seen them"...."or is not alive to tell the tale"Alen said in frightful tone
Alen, a tall guy with chubby build, brown curly hairs till eyebrow, brown eyes and studious looking specs while the girl was selena slender build and cute looking face both were around 15 year of age.
"So are these mythical beasts are only in books and takes? Are the not real? " Selena asked
"They are real as the most powerful seven families were said to be blessed by these beasts only so there kin have powerful elemental magic then us on their respective elements" Alen said
Selena enquired "what are these blessings?"
"Each of the seven families is blessed by their respective guardian mythical beast so depending on mythical beast they gain extra talent and skills of an element" Alen answered
Later he add on "For example, flammings family was blessed by pheonix so their member are all fire mage experts. While the members of Aqua family are all water magic experts as they were blessed Ao the sacred water turtle"
After another 1 hour they stood up from the seat and put the books in the shelves and started walking out of library together.
On the gate of library were standing 3 muscular looking guys one bald and two in buzz cut. After looking at them Alen face went to agony like he was about to get a beating.
One of them came to Alen and before he was able to say something the guy punched Alen and he went unconscious.
When Alen opened his eyes he was tied to a tree. He saw selena standing near distant from him and those three guys were standing near him. Blood was coming out of his nose.
"I told you to stay away from selena", the bald guy shouted
"He need some more beating" buzz cut said to bald guy and they both started kicking and punching Alen.
Alen wanted to say something, he wanted to beat these guys but he can't. He was not strong enough, they were all stronger then him not only that the leader of their group was a mage.
'being weak is curse and you have to be strong to survive this world' Alen thought
After giving Alen a 20 minutes of beating on the guy shouted while starting his motorcycle
"STAY AWAY FROM SELENA, she is our boss's girl"
Then selena who was watching all this came to Alen and started untying him and helping him to stand up. After 5 minutes Alen was untied and was standing on his feet.
" I can't be in relationship with you anymore , Alen you are weak, you can't even protect your self" Selena said in very disgusted tone.
Alen wanted to say many things but he remained quiet, with blood coming out of his nose and broken heart he only looked at the ground.
" I am going Alen, hope you live a happy life" these were the last word of selena and she left the place with Alen standing alone.
When sun went down he started walking towards his home and after 20 minutes he reached his home.
His house was empty, as he only lived with his dad who was a retired battle mage now runs a bakery in the town. His dad was a man of few words so his bonding with his dad was not strong.
He went to fridge and took a apple from it and went to his room.
After eating apple he changed the clothes which were dirty from his blood and dirt and went to bed.
Lying on bed he started thinking about how weak in this world are being oppressed by others. ' Being weak in this world means your life will be worse than hell, what was my mistake I was born weak or just these people were born stronger than me '
"Alen come and have dinner" it was Alen's dad who came from his bakery and were calling Alen to have dinner.
Alen went to dinning room and sat on a chair and his dad sat on front of him .
Alen's dad was ALEX and as a veteran soldier with a single look on Alex's bruises he got a rough idea that Alen have recieved some beating.
As they were Eating food Alex said "Son, if you are born weak it's not your fault but if you die weak it is your fault. Even the great Ocean was just a stream from glacier. So anyone can become great and strong of he or she wants to"
Later he added "if you are facing some problem, you can always tell your dad "
Alen replied "Thank you dad, surely I will tell you if there will be any problem"
Later, they all finished dinner, and went to their room seperately
Later lying on his bad Alen filled with determination said to himself " I will become so strong that I can live my life according to me. I will become strongest in the world"
Later he went to sleep as he has to attend school Tommorow.
