Ab Initio

3rd August, 1832. Kingdom of Greece. King Otto has just become the official king of Greece the previous year. Under the patronage of the King, the Greek orphanages are looked after pretty smoothly. It is in one of those orphanages that our story starts again.


The name of the orphanage is : " Evlogíes tis ouránias mitéras" which when translated to English stands as : " Blessings of the heavenly mother". In that orphanage, lives a boy : Jason ; he is 17 years old and having been brought up without parents, he had grown up quite quickly. The folks at the orphanage were very fond of Jason as well. The boy is particularly studious and well behaved. The head mother of the orphanage : Sister Cassia loves him as if he is her own son. 


It was a fine Friday and Jason was travelling to the orphanage with a friend of his, Dorian, who is also from the same orphanage. They were returning from a fair and were having a lively discussion about what they had seen. Jason was enthralled by the knife throwing tactics of the performers while Dorian was more interested in one of the sweet girls that he had met in the fair. 


Dorian : Did you see her ? I think I am in love. I have never ever seen a sweet lady like her. 


Jason : Please, she spoke with you just to know where the food plaza is. You always do this. Whenever you see an attractive lady, you think you are in love. 


Dorian : How will you know what love is Jason? Have you ever been struck by its lovely bite?  You were interested today only on the folks who were throwing knives. I am telling you that's not what you come to a fair for. 


Jason : You should have checked it more keenly. Those folks were not throwing the knives randomly. They had tremendous precision. Moreover, the older gentleman who was overseeing the troop of knife throwers certainly had educated them on a solid knife throwing strategy. That's why they were so immaculate. 


Dorian : God save me from a knife fanatic like you. By the way, did you get the produce that mother Cassia told us to get ? 


Jason : Yes. While you were making merry being love struck, I bought the vegetables. The only thing left is to buy the meat. Come, we have the butcher's shop up front. We will buy the meat from there. 


Dorian :  I knew I could count on you, dear Jason. Who is going to cook the meat though? 


Jason : That will be yours truly. I am going to cook meat stew today. So, behave nicely till we reach the "Heavenly Mother", else no meat stew for you. 


Dorian : Awww, why do you have to be like that ? 


They quickly walked up to the butcher's shop :  Kreopoleio. The butcher Leander knew the boys well. He, like everyone liked Jason very much due to inherent goodness in the boy. 


Leander : Hiya Jason, Dorian ! How are you doing today? 


Jason : We are doing good Leander. Everyone in the orphanage is doing good . I hope your family is doing good as well. 


Leander. Yes, they are doing well. Thank you. So shall I provide the usual order for you? 


Jason : Yes please. Thank you so much. 


Leander : No problem lads. Here you go. 


After buying the meat, the boys started walking briskly until they reached the orphanage. While they were going to enter the orphanage, they saw a lot of carriages up front. They also observed sister Cassia, who suddenly beckoned them to come closer. 


Cassia : Boys, you are late. We have guests. I have been waiting for an eternity for you both. 


Dorian : What happened Mother ? Who has come with so many carriages? 


Cassia : The archon ( Magistrate) is here with few office bearers. They are having a discussion with the orphanage officials. 


Jason : Then why are you not there Mother? 


Cassia : That's because, you Jason are the topic of that discussion. And I am waiting for your return so that I can usher you in to discuss about your future with the achron and the officials.
