Prologue Chapter 5: Ray of hope in darkness

After Gold left the village on that day he went into the forest to train. Determined to find a way to make himself stronger he starts to train relentlessly.

Gold is spending his time training himself till he gets tried and then he sits under a tree to claim his mind by meditating.

Gold: This is not good I am not able to claim myself, I can't think straight. I am barely able to survive on the fruits that I find laying around I am so hungry. These stupid monkeys won't let me climb a tree to get some fruits, even though there are so many of them and I don't even know where I am I came to deep into the forest.

Gold hears a loud and scary voice and hides in a bush.

Gold: what's that noise? It's so scary! Is it some animal or a monster? What am I supposed to do?

The monkeys on trees start screaming and running away, but a little monkey falls from the tree to the ground.

Gold: oh no that monkey fell from alot height it seems to have broken it's legs. The noise is getting closer I have to run!

The is crying for help unable to move, something gets close to the monkey and covers it in its shadow.

It's a huge white lion, it attacks the monkey, but it misses. Gold saved the monkey from its attack.

Gold: grab onto me tightly little guy.( It's a white lion , I learned about it in the village. We are supposed to run away from it on sight not even Mr. Joseph can defeat it.)

White lion: A human child? What are you doing this deep into the sacred forest? Humans are not allowed to enter these parts!

Gold is surprised to hear the lion speak but he decides to run away from there quickly.

Gold: I have to run as fast as I can!

The lion is chasing after Gold , the monkey starts to scream.

Gold: Shut up you stupid animal! Ahhh why am I even trying to help you?

The lion catches up to Gold

White lion: Are you trying to protect the child?

Gold: You mean this stupid little monkey?

White lion: why are you protecting it?

Gold: I won't feel right. But why does it matter to you? Try and attack all you can I will resist till my last breath.

White lion: let's see if you can.

The lion jumps on Gold, but manages to dodge him. Then the lion's eyes start glowing and he starts throwing ice attacks at Gold.

Gold: It can even use Aatma? What is this thing. I am barely able to dodge these attacks , this ice is so strong i doubt if even Mickey's fire could melt them.

Gold gets hit by a attack on his stomach and falls down. The lion jumps onto Gold and steps on his chest.

Gold: I won't give up! I must go back to my Village alive.

White lion: You are quite impressive for a human child, to be able to move so fast to dodge my attacks you must have trained hard for it.

Gold: Heck yeah I did! Well atleast someone recognised my efforts, but speed is not it.

Gold grabs onto the lion's leg and uses all his power to lift it from him. He manages to lift it up and get out of there.

The white lion is surprised by it.

White lion: I am impressed human child. You still have the will to fight. You stayed true to your word.

Gold: Ofcourse I did and I am going get out of here alive mark word.

The lion gets relaxed and sits right there.

Gold: What are you doing?

White lion: What Is your name child?

Gold: it's Gold

White lion: Come close to me Gold. It's okay now I won't harm you.

Gold hesitates but gets close to him. Lion's eyes glows again and Gold's injury is all healed and the monkey is able to walk again.

Gold: Why did you do this? Don't you wanna kill and eat me?

White lion: No, why would I do that?

Gold: You are a monster aren't you? That's what you are supposed to do.

White lion screams

White lion: I am no monster you fool! I am the white lion the protector of this forest! I came to cheak on a human presence I felt here then I saw this little monkey injured on the ground and tried to help it but you ran away with it. I dunno why the animals of this forest are so scared of me even though I live to protect them.

Gold: So why are you letting me go?

White lion: Because you are pure of heart unlike other humans who come to this forest just to destroy it for their greed. You were willing to sacrifice your life for this monkey you are a good person.

Little monkey: yes a good person!

Gold: What it can speak too?

White lion: No it cannot, but i blessed you the ability to communicate with animals. Consider it my apology for attacking you earlier.

Gold: Woah! I can communicate with animals now!.( How useless, but I don't wanna anger him.)

The monkey brought Gold a fruit to eat.

Gold: Guess i won't be hungry anymore.

White lion: Now answer my question Gold, what are you doing in this forest?

Gold told the lion everything

White lion: So you were training and got lost. Humans are not allowed in these parts of the forest but I will make an exception for you. As for your training I can give you some knowledge that might help.

Gold: Seriously? Thank you so much.

White lion: Listen carefully Gold, you cannot use Aatma. But that doesn't mean you cannot interact with it.

Gold: what do you mean?

White lion: Evey living thing is covered with Aatma and that Aatma has an actual presence in this world but in a different plane of existence. By learning to feel the presence of Aatma you might find something that will help you get stronger.

Gold: But how am I supposed to feel it's presence?

White lion: Close your eyes Gold and let your consciousness connect to the different planes of existence. Try to find your way, with a clam heart and focused mind.

Gold: So I am just supposed to meditate? I have been doing that for sometime but nothing happened.

White lion: Meditate with a goal. Having experience with it is a good thing you will be able to find something very soon.

Gold meditates for sometime and open his eyes.

Gold: I am not finding anything. Huh? Where did he go?

The white lion had left

Gold: So I am all on my own now?

Little monkey: I am here for you Gold!

Gold: You are? Thanks alot. Little guy.

Little monkey: Give me a name, I want to have a name just like you!

Gold: I don't have time for that let me train.

The monkey started screaming but Gold ignored him and continued with his training.

Gold:( with a calm heart and focused mind I try to enter the different planes. Trying to feel the Aatma of the things around me in this darkness, i will find what I need to get stronger)

Gold manages to start feeling the presence of Aatma around him but he gets a little to excited and losses control over it.

Gold: Yes! I managed it just a bit! I can do this! I was able to feel things around me that I can't even see! If I can feel it all the time I will be able to do so much more with my physical skills, i don't need to use special powers to beat Mickey and Diamond.

Gold keeps training like this for days

Gold: I have spent so much time in this forest, i have to go back now. I have learnt alot but I must go back now.

Gold says goodbye to his monkey friend who he named Gold and leaves for his village.
