a genius

After listening to Alexander, Dror pondered in his mind " Now that I think about it Earnest had a section on Dharma in the recording, I didn't deem it important and skipped it… maybe I should listen to it carefully later.."

Dror further explained his view on how the current rebels were working in a symbiotic manner with the Alliance government than against it to the rest.

Levi and Chaow was shocked by dror's view of the current situation. Even Rutna, who was a child, understood a little and couldn't close her mouth out of shock for a while.

Only Alexander was calm, but he was also utterly surprised by the fact that this person who was called a barbarian could clearly analyze so many things like an intellectual.

Dror continued " so in the end what I am trying to accomplish is a revolution not for any king but for the common people and myself… A revolution of the people by the people for the people.."

Levi slowly muttered " A revolution of the people by the people for the people.."

The same was repeated by the rest  " ….. of the people by the people for the people.."

Alexander finally spoke with a laugh "Hahaha... I have never seen someone as daring as you. What you spoke just now can be considered as a mutiny and lead to your execution…. But I like it.  I am interested in joining your company, but I should say I cannot cultivate so fighting is difficult for me.."

Dror replied with a smile " what I want is your brain not your brawn's. The company that I want to form is not just about strength but much more than that…"

The group didn't stay much long in the restaurant, but left as the celebratory mood was overcome by a serious mode after Dror gave his conjectures regarding the current situation of the rebel base.

Each of them were pondering about it as they walked to their home.

Even Rutna was not an exception.

Rutna held her brother's hand tightly and muttered " big brother… did our father give his life for a lost cause…"

Chaow reprimanded her " Don't speak nonsense, what sir Dror said doesn't mean that… what he meant is that we are actually in the dark, but the cause we are fighting for is not wrong.."

Rutna spoke again in a timid manner " But sir Dror also said that the alliance army is almost unbeatable for the current rebel army. Then why did they send father to fight such a strong enemy knowing they were so powerful.."

Chaow could only clench his other hand and replay " he didn't do it just because of an order from the army, he did it for you and me. He did it so that we could enjoy the freedom that he couldn't one day…  He might not have realized the truth of the situation, but he gave his life for what he believed…. 

I have decided to  follow sir Dror and become stronger, to be able to bring a real change…"

Rutna also spoke in a determined way " I will also grow strong… for the people for ourselves…"

Dror was happy that he could gather some comrades to tackle the future.

Instead of going into meditation he took out some herbs to practice alchemy.

He was determined to create a pill this time. 

An expert alchemist would use a cauldron and fire formed from his own energy to create pills.

But novice alchemists who had only started practicing alchemy, would use different kinds of precision apparatus to regulate the heat and to measure the amount of herbs.

The pill that he was trying to create was a low grade energy pill, but he has not succeeded yet.

He separated the herbs and extracted the essence as per the instructions. Then he started heating the main apparatus at a certain temperature and added the herbs one by one.

But as he added the eighth ingredient the  colour of the mixture turned yellow, showing that the pill had failed.

He was troubled by the fact that even after experiencing the trance, he was not able to make even one pill.

He had observed the complete process  with his spiritual sense but couldn't figure out the exact reason.

That is when someone poked his hand, he saw that it was the shackles of Maya.

Usually this guy would sleep inside the stone vat full of earth elemental crystal or playing games in the sky watch that Dror has recently purchased for it .

As usual it was playing games like a little kid with his or her mothers android phone, Until it felt the dejected emotion of Dror.

It wound around Dror's hand and encouraged him to practice more.

Seeing that there was someone to cheer him up he started the concoction again.

This time as he was going to add the third ingredient, Maya tightened his hand to stop him.

  He unknowingly paused for two three seconds but seeing that the time to add the ingredient was running out he hastily put it in .

To his surprise he found that this time after adding the eighth ingredient the color of the concoction remained blue.

  He was ecstatic, but the ecstasy didn't last long. 

With the addition of the tenth ingredient the color turned yellow again.

He knew that it was Maya's guidance that allowed him to improve a little, then his eyes started shining brightly

" What if this little guy has the talent to become an alchemist? 

He has a great attachment to the Earth and different kinds of herbs, he likes to sleep in between them all the time…. Fuck maybe I hit the jackpot again...lets try it again…"

He cleared the apparatus and started the concoction again, this time his focus was divided between Maya and concoction. 

He could feel that Maya would sense it each time when the concoction was going wrong.

He needed to adjust different things according to Maya's premonition .

He failed the next two three times also, but he could see that Maya's grasp on the subject was improving rapidly.

Soon it started giving instruction to Dror, and so the first pill was born after four more tries.

The pill was green in color but a little hazy showing its lowest quality.

But Dror was jumping around the room in celebration, Maya was also happy that it was able to help its master.

Dror couldn't hold himself from hugging and kissing the little guy, Maya had to struggle itself out of this weird master's hand.

Dror was not someone who would stop when he saw a little success. He went into a mad frenzy with the aid of Maya.

But he soon figured out that even with the aid of Maya his success rate was only close to 20 %.

This was because each batch of ingredient differed in its own way and required special attention when preparing.

For a genius alchemist they would be able to predict it automatically like a sixth sense and adjust the concoction accordingly, just like Maya.

Dror was staring at Maya with glowing eyes and dollar signs in both his eyes.

Poor Maya could feel the bad premonition but could not escape the greedy eyes of Dror.

Soon the innocent Maya would know how some children would be sent to school by Psychopaths parents and tortured day and night to study and take the first place in the class.

Dror spoke in a kind and loving manner " little Maya what do you think about studies, Do you know that little kids of your age has to go to school, A monstrous place where big demons like teachers will give you something terrible like home work and then there are senior students who are like little demons they will bully you and take away all your good stuff.."

Little innocent Maya started trembling a little, imagining all kinds of horror situations similar to what she had watched in movies through the sky watch.

Then finally Little Maya sent a spiritual message " n..o no scho..ol.."

Maya had only started learning to speak so it stuttered here and there while talking.

The brightness in Dror's eyes intensified " of course how can I let my loving little Maya go to such a dangerous place, that is why I have thought of homeschooling you. 

But if you don't study properly what is taught, I will have no other choice but to send you to the SCHOOL…"

Little Maya was continuously nodding its head to everything, believing all kind of bullshit that Dror came up with.

…...

Rewinding time a little back, in a different area of the rebel base.

Alexander reached his home and it was already dark around his small house.

As he opened the door a red knife with a glowing mark appeared in his hand, which he threw to the left dark corner of the opened room.

As the knife left his arm, the knife started glowing as a whole and the speed  increased at least ten times along with its destructive power.

But as the knife reached the dark corner it was caught in between two fingers.

Alexander was not ideal as two more knives appeared on both his hands, emitting different colors.
