Healer

Inside the deep forest a young man was fighting against the wild elephant. Even though he could easily defeat the wild elephant he didn't do it. He was not at all attacking the beast and was only avoiding the attacks thrown towards him. He had also decided not to go beyond a certain area to make the whole fight more of a challenge. He was bruised all over the body but his eyes were very calm as the wounds didn't mattered to him. The fight had started two hours ago and both the beast and the young man were showing the signs of exhaustion.

A lady was observing the whole fight some distance away. She was standing on a tree's branch and was covered in black clothes from top to bottom. A black mask covered her face.

"Interesting, an unknown grandmaster training in the forest,"lady murmured.

"Is he a friend or foe"

The young man was none other than the Prince Pranay who had come to train into the wild forest because going to Saint Dynasty to train might be suspicious.

Wild elephant had started to realise that the fight is pointless. It couldn't even land a good hit on the opponent. It was losing it's fighting spirit and was very tired. Wild elephant glanced deeply at the prince for the last time and stopped it's attack and started to walk away from the fight.

Rooooaaarrr...

A thunderous roar shook the forest as a lion suddenly came in front of the wild elephant. If the wild elephant was in its peak condition it might have put a fight but now the elephant was totally exhausted. The lion jumped towards the elephant.

Prince, who was exhausted from the previous practice suddenly dashed towards the lion and a golden umbrella appeared in his hand. Lion was about to pounce on the elephant who was terrified but something blocked his path.

"BAM"

A golden umbrella and the lion collided. Prince and the lion both of them were pushed backward by several yards.

Prince was holding the golden umbrella like a shield in front of him. The lion was angry and roared again but the prince didn't move an inch and was staring into the lion's eye.

It was a silent battle. No one moved for another minute but the fearless look from the prince was a threat to the lion. Lion was predator but the eyes of young man in front of him told him that the battle is going to be a bloody one. The lion roared one more time and jumped into the nearby bushes vanishing into the deep forest.

"Plop"

The prince fell on the ground. His body was too tired to move and was drained of energy. The golden umbrella converted into the thin stick and the prince hid it inside his clothes. His right hand was bleeding and numb. The last impact was sudden and had injured him badly and after the fight in the valley of falling rocks he hadn't fully recovered. His right hand was going numb. Wild elephant was frozen for the short time due to shock but it recovered soon. It came near the prince who was panting on the ground and laid down near the prince. It didn't attack the prince and neither did it go away. Prince had been in the company of Shiva and knew that how Shiva loved the nature and somehow Shiva had influenced him. After this ordeal he felt that even though he was covered in injuries he had become more powerful.

"This guy sure has his principles", the lady on the tree thought.

She removed her black gloves and extended her jade like hand in the direction of prince.

"The sacred art of healing"

A light glowed from her hand and rushed towards the prince. The prince foolishly looked at the incoming light that covered his entire body and his wounds were healing at the visible rate. He wanted to see the person who was behind it but the light was blinding his eyes and vaguely noticed that it was a lady dressed in black. Soon the light vanished and the prince was healed. He rushed towards the location of the lady but no one was there. She was gone.

Prince thought hard and a sudden realisation came to him the magic just used was the legendary art of healing. No one had seen a mystic of healing art for centuries. It was a unique magic and even though was non-battle type, it was considered one of the most powerful magic.

It could change the tide of a battle.

"Someone is the mystic of healing in the Saint Dynasty",prince wondered.
