He returned at night as asked by the magician. “Where are you?”, the kid shouted as soon as he entered the villa. He searched everywhere but his friend was nowhere to be found. As he was wandering inside the house, the room that was always locked was open. The kid looked all around and then shouted again, “Are you inside the room? May I come in.” No answer. Puzzled, he decided to enter the room. It bore a spooky ambience. There were various jars, filled with intense smelling potions of different colors. It all looked diabolical. There was a strange design drawn on the floor. Concentric circles with squares positioned at symmetric points. The kid shouted again, “Where are you?” ‘
‘What was the magician planning to do with all this ? Is he really an evil as believed by the villagers?’ thought the little kid. As he moved around, he stumbled upon something lying on the floor. Puzzled he looked down and to his horror found his best friend lying motionless on the floor. His body was disfigured, burnt at places, bent irregularly. There was one more dead body, covered in blood stained golden cloth lying beside the magician.’Does he kill people at night? Will he kill me also?’. Petrified, he started crying beyond consolation. Suddenly flames started rising from the design on the floor of the room, the kid felt as if something had grasped him, his body started levitating. The two dead bodies also started floating. The kid shouted, “Leave me, you evil magician. The villagers are right. You are devil. You are not human”, and the kid lost his consciousness.
When he regained consciousness, he was lying in the hall. The magician was sitting beside him, smiling as the kid opened his eyes.
“What is all this ? Who are you? I don’t want to be here. I want to go.” said the kid in horror.
The magician replied in a placating tone,”Calm down kid. Here, have some water. It is time to tell you a story. Do you want to know the truth?”
The kid was shaking in horror unable to contemplate his surroundings.
The magician started telling him a tale,
“Long ago, in a small village there lived a magician. He performed his tricks with such an aplomb that soon people started believing him to possess supernatural powers. He tried different tricks, learnt new ones and created some of his own. He would go to new places to showcase his talent. The fame of the magician fuelled his arrogance and ego. His hunger for new wizardry knew no bounds. He started dealing in necromancy, the witchcraft of the dead.
