Enter the Pisaghs and the DOVES

A boy was on his way to his home. He was a teen, who studied in high school. While walking, he encounters a beautiful girl at his age weeping and repeating the words "He...lp…me". The girl was beautiful and almost looked as an angel. As the boy approaches her, his heart starts beating as fast as it could. At first he thought it was because he was nervous but it turns out that it was a trap. The girl had no eyes and with a chill voice she says "I love you my dear." The boy soon sees a circle with a star in it. The girl who looked like an angel suddenly looked like a demon.

The boy started having a headache and he started holding his head as it was going to explode. The scenery that was in his head was not the reality but a part of the illusion the girl had kept. As he was on his knees, he sees the girl as a demon with two wings. The girl kissed the boy who is still in dilemma whether he is in his imagination or not. He soon falls on the ground and the girls is on his chest chocking his neck and puking blood. Her eyes start to re-generate. When it seemed it's all over for the boy a man appears and says "That's enough." The girl looks around as she was about to speak when the man cuts her.

The girl screams in agony. Her scream wakes the boy. The man, "I give you one last chance, if you decide to obey me I won't harm you but if you don't, it won't be good for you." The girl runs at him. She tries to confuse him by rotating around him and soon makes a move but the man had already shred her into pieces. The man "You're too slow for me." He then keeps his sword in its scabbard and with this the girl starts burning up.

The man reaches at the boy and gives him a potion and tells him to drink it. The boy drinks it and starts healing. The man, "I know what you just saw was something out of a story but the truth behind the world is, no matter how much you believe in science there's always something unnatural. GREAT LIGHT!" as soon as the man says this boy faints and forgets about all the things that happened.

Alex, "What you saw was just a bad dream, nothing else." The girl who Alex just encountered was not a normal girl. She is what we call a Pisagh.

A teacher, "One thousand years ago, the bridge between earth and afterlife was broken. This allowed some spirits from the afterlife to escape. This created huge problem for the people as the spirits started haunting their hated ones and the human cycle was breached. People started giving up on their lives because the spirits had spread out a rumor that the afterlife was an ideal place with no war or conflict and had a lot of fortune. Some believed that it was true while other believed that the spirits were lying. This incident made the gods angry and they rained fire on the earth. The sky was on fire and the sea was in rage and this event was known as the fury of god which lasted till 7 nights and 8 day.

Soon after this the god fixed the bridge. He divided the earth into two parts i.e. outer realm and the inner realm. The outer realm is the normal part of the world where technology and science have advanced while the inner realm is the realm where sorcery is practiced. We live in the inner realm and are also known as the wizards."

A student, "Sir, I asked you about Pisaghs but you started telling us about the history that we already know."

The teacher, "I know what your question is but to know about Pisaghs, you should know about the history first. You see, after creating the two realms the god changed the afterlife and divided it into two parts. One was known as Swarga and another was known as Narka. The souls or spirit who did good deeds when they were alive went to swarga while the spirits who did bad deeds went to hell as a punishment. Pisaghs are the evilness of those souls who went to hell which try to take human form and cause chaos and to exorcist them we exorcists have created the DOVES."

Doves are the name of the organization that protects the upper realm from Pisaghs and it is a highly secret organization that nobody knows about except some organizations and government. Like Alex there are many officers working in it. But for now let's keep an eye on Alex.

Alex returns from his mission and goes to the bank. He completed his task so; the money that was promised for his job was deposited in his bank. He sees a boy whose name was Liam while returning to the HQ. He talks with him for a while until his pet and friend Liza comes to inform him about his new task.

Liza, "Oi Alex! The boss is waiting for you." Alex, "Liam, see you later. I need to go now." Liam, "Bye! Hope you have a safe journey ahead Alex."

Alex, "Let's go Liza!" Liza follows Alex. Liza is a magical bear and the companion of Alex. In this world magicians can have pets that have special abilities and have minds that can be even smarter than humans. Liza is a doctor and a hacker who teams up with Alex and helps him in his mission from the background. The portion that Alex gave to the victim was also made by Liza.

Liza, "So, what were you talking with that boy?"

Alex, "Nothing special, he looked sad so I talked with. Turns out that he wanted to join the Corps but is weak and bullied by his friends. He was a bit depressed so I cheered him."

Liza, "A member of the Corps is motivating a child. That's something new."

Alex, "I'm not motivating him. It's his choice to choose what he wants to become. I also don't want him to become an agent but he knows its consciences so let him be. Just wish that he'll be fine."

Liza, "How can a child like him know about the consciences about our job?"

Alex, "His dad was killed by a Pisagh.(Liza gets shocked.) And weren't we at his age when we came to know about the truth of the world."

Liza, "That's too sad, poor boy has gone through a lot." Alex, "Yeah, but he'll be fine. After all to become a strong person you don't require power what you require is the will to control emotions, feelings and the strength inside you and he has all those things inside him."

Liza (thinking) that boy reminds you of yourself, right doesn't he Alex? You were also weak and scared like him one time so you hesitated to join the corps."

"Nah, you're wrong. I just came here to make a beautiful girlfriend like my mom ordered me." Says Alex as he bites chocolate.

Liza, "Wait, what? No, you're lying. Your mom wanted you to make a girlfriend as a part of joke."

Alex, "But I thought she meant it." Liza, "No, she didn't mean it. And how can you read my mind when you are wearing your N-Band."

Alex, "I just read your expressions. Teddy bear's faces are easy to read." Liza, "No, they aren't. You idiot"

"Yes, they are, idiot." Says Alex as he takes another bite of his chocolate.

N-Band are those band made from neutral rocks which cancel out the magical power of wizards. The neutral rocks are the rocks which can convert to magic canceling weapons. It can be also used to make handcuffs which cancel out the magic of a wizard and make them feel weak when they're tied on the wizards. Another stone named the elemental stone is just the different from neutral stone. It can increase the power of a wizard. Many weapons are made from this ore. To fight Pisaghs wizards don't rely on weapons but rather weapons and scientific tools.

Alex and Liza are in the department HQ of Corps and are attending the meeting.

Marie (the head of the department),"Thank you all the agents who could come here. As we all know the corps has altogether 50 HQ in total. From 50 HQ we choose agents who are powerful and can be promoted. For this there will be a conquest which will be held after 6 months and the agents which will be representing our department are Sophia Rose and Alex Scarlett. So, we wish them best of luck." Everyone claps.

Alex*So there are 50 departments in total. Even if there are hundreds of people in an HQ only 2 of them are selected. In total, 100 members are selected and only the top 16 will be promoted. To become an elite member I get into top 6 of this tournament then I can return home. It would be good if I met those two. Well, this is the beginning of a new journey so let's hope that it is good.*
