Chapter 2: REMEMBERING THAT DREADFUL DAY

Reebabo walks into Reelora, who is currently at the garden area relaxing and playing her flute.

"Hey, have u seen Gangola" Reebabo asks.

"I saw him a while ago around the core (the Earth's center of magic)."Reelora replies.

"Ok thanks, I'll check there" Reebabo says and leaves.

Gangola is walking along the path that surrounds the dome covering the core. He's chanting some spells when Reebabo calls his name.

"Gangola, one of our gifted spies found something at Felix co. inventions, we wanted to see if u could open it" he catches Gangola's attention.

"Hmmm" Gangola gives a sad and worried expression.

"What's wrong?" Concerned Reebabo asks.

"I was just remembering how things were so peaceful, we never had to worry this much, I keep regretting being close to Felix, how did we ever get to this point?" Gangola says while taking a seat at one of the side benches.

"Don't work yourself up about it, even as immortals we are not immune to things like this, you never knew it would turn out like this, betrayal is very possible between people. That was the time humans and gifted lived alongside each other in harmony. It's not your...." Reebabo sits beside him speaking before Gangola cuts in "no no,don't give me that it's not your fault card, I should have seen it coming, after all I did for Felix. I taught him a lot of things. As a friend, I told him all about the gifted. But still....how can humans be so threatening. I should started suspecting since the first moment he talked about using our powers in his gadgets. He just never understood....

* 5 months ago*

"My friend, you should think sometimes and look at this from my perspective, imagine a life where we never had to suffer, okay...u say it's going to be harmful using the powers of gifted beings. Why don't we go to this core u speak of and..." Felix says all these and I am so enraged I interrupt him with my voice as loud as it could be.

"CAN YOU LISTEN TO YOURSELF? THAT'S EVEN WORSE. DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN YOU FINALLY DRAIN THE LITTLE ENERGY THE EARTH HAS? DISASTERS UPON DISASTERS, UNEXPLAINABLE! YOU COULD NOT POSSIBLY COMPREHEND IT. APART FROM THAT, IF MAGIC IS USED ON HUMANS MORE THAN ITS LIMIT IT CAN AS WELL BE HARMFUL. SOME THINGS ARE BETTER LEFT THE WAY THEY ARE. YOU, HUMANS HAVE BEEN CREATED WITH INTELLECT THAT HELPs YOU TO INVENT THINGS THAT MAKE LIFE EASIER. THEN WHY ARE YOU ASKING FOR MORE? One of my friend, Reebabo once told me that too much of everything is bad Felix, stop this! We will not have this discussion again" I finish almost out of breath and end with a pleading tone.

Felix, with an annoyed expression says "Well, I see that you are not ready to reason. I know that there is a way we can work this out, but you...no, all of you are so selfish to use your abilities in more efficient ways. Even if, you're not on my side I will do it alone, goodbye friend, I learnt quite a lot from you." After these words he walks out of my presence.

I shout out to him, as he walks away backing me "Don't do anything you will regret Felix! I'm warning you."

*Present day*

"... And after that day we got shocked and attacked by what Felix had done, or can I say "had been doing" the gifted beings barely survived. Weapons that he had already been inventing behind my back, Reebabo behind my back! Now look at us, hiding in another realm in a world that created us all to live freely" Gangola says with pain in his eyes.

"Believe me I understand let's not remember that dreadful day where different gifted went into hiding. Gangola had to make portals in different places that will help the beings get to this realm. It was brutal" Reebabo shudders as he finished speaking these words.

"The past gave us experience and made us wiser so that we can create a beautiful and brighter future, therefore best thing to do is to learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow."Reebabo adds his words of wisdom.

"You are very right, I'll certainly do all in my might to make things right, thanks for the talk, you really are a wise friend" Gangola smiles and hugs Reebabo after speaking.

"So where's this thing you want me to check out" Gangola asks.

"Just come with me to the palace" Reebabo replied while signaling him towards the path out of the garden.
