Patrick looked the thoroughfare that was wide spread out in front of them. Hiver's anticipation growing bigger and bigger waiting Patrick told him something. Finally, Patrick started it:
"Hiver, 23 years ago... i lived in a city call Ritardo. Yeah, Rotardo was a good place and i was a magician's apprentice under my teacher, Jimenez. He was a great magician at the city and many believes that he once met The True Magician and The True Magician gave him a magic stone called Orgol. The magic stone is very powerful...it's functioning to protect all magician's power in this world.
But, sadly...there were and are always have some 'magician hunter' who are fond to have the stone. So, my teacher got killed in one of the incident that cause him to give the stone to me.
He told me to take good care of this and when the day is come for me to give this to someone else, i must look for a magician with great aura as same as The True Magician's. And, the first day i met you i know you are the one. You have the same aura as he is...i don't understand this. Maybe you'll become the greatest one after this or maybe you're his heir"
None of his explanation made Hiver felt understandable. Hiver just felt that he was rumbling superstitious things with him, maybe he was half insane. Hiver ignored him again but Patrick never give up. To ensure Hiver, he held his hand. Hiver was quite surprised when Patrick dragged him to follow him. He shouted easing down the road and most of the townspeople looked at them.
"Help me! This guy is insane!!" Patrick continued to dragged him.
"I shall bring you to my place. I will hand you the Orgol."
They entered Patrick's caravan. He speed up his caravan and entered a forest with narrow path between the oaks. Hiver started to shiver. He looked around, felt really terror and horror shrouded the atmosphere.
"We've arrived...the time has come."
Patrick got out from the caravan and he asked Hiver to come too. But, Hiver never wanted to get out.
"Orgol is waiting...." Patrick gave him a grinned.
They entered an old hut, the hut smelt stale and fusty, rusty and all that didn't stop Patrick from taking a crystal box. He opened it and suddenly a blue light coming out inside the box. Hiver was eager and he move closer to Patrick. Patrick showed im what inside the crystal box.
Inside it, lied a precious shining green emerald look alike stone. with a striking blue light, Hiver wanted to touch it and Patrick let him touched the stone. The stone felt cold and rough. Hiver looked amusedly towards patrick.
"It's yours now...you can have it. Protect it, keep it... I shall tell you that this stone is very magic, it can help you to save this world from being harm. But, make sure that you don't feel greedy, proud or snob when you have it. Always share it with people. But, beware of 'magician hunter'... as soon as they know that you have this stone, they will hunt you until the end of the day."
The Orgol had been in his hand, the blue light shining again, caused his eyes to became closed and Hiver was clueless. He thought that he might be fainted.
When he opened his eyes, Dete was beside him. He was already at his home. On his bed, but the stone still safe in his hand. He blinked his eyes and looked at Dete. Dete looked towards him with lots of questions that he need to ask.
"People found you fainted at the bus stop. What you've done? Are you fighting with the gangster at that area?" Hiver shook his head. He then looked at the stone.
"I met a guy. His name was Patrick and he gave me this. This is very precious stone, it's Orgol. He gave me this stone because he believe in my great aura as a magician. He said that, there was a 'Great True Magician' and he have his teacher being the 'True Magician's apprentice. 'The True Magician' gave his teacher this Orgol and when his teacher got killed by the 'magician hunter' who hunting this stone, he heired this stone. And the time is come for him to hand this stone to someone else, and he found me. I got a great aura, he said!"
Dete wasn't unsure but he tried to believe the story. Hiver was so excited telling him and he need to listen to please Hiver.
"So, where is Patrick?" Dete asked him.
"I don't know, Dete. He was vanished... just like that but this stone. Hey! You gotta believe me, this is true!"
"Okay...okay...but what we need to do with this stone anyway?"
"He said that this stone got a magic power, it can save the world. Maybe, if we use this to upgrade our magic skills and make some earnings then it would be great don't you think?"
Dete took Orgol from Hiver's hand and he examined the Orgol. Looked elegant but mystery. He shook his head and gave a long sighed.
"I want you to make a try first."
"Fine!" Hiver replied.
Dete nodded and he took a handkerchief from his pocket.
"Turn this handkerchief to a paper using the Orgol."
He challenged Hiver, Hiver agreed and he stood from the bed. Holding Orgol and closed his eyes......
