Reminiscence

In a slum like area within the prosperous city, In a shabby apartment.

All the lights were turned off and there were just sounds of groaning in pain as if every little movement of the body was causing excruciating pain. The origin of these painful groans was a young man looking not a year more than twenty four or twenty five lying on stomach on bed without and mattress just the hard wood.

As expressed by groaning sounds every single movement of the body was causing excruciating pain to the young man.

This person is Karan although he doesn't look aged but he is over a hundred years old. The only reason for his youthful appearance was that he was a master of matter energy, The matter energy which is present in everything living or non living was mysterious even for someone who has spent all his life researching this peculiar energy.

Karan thought " I helped this country gain freedom, I fought against the cult which was planning to rule the world, I finished the last wish of my master, saving this world and in the end all I get is this unbearable pain"

While bearing the pain that was the sign of his whole body being on the verge of collapse his thoughts went to the very beginning of his heroic life.

Since the time till karan came to his senses in this world he was all alone, with niether parents nor any relatives to rely on. All he could remember about himself was that he was an orphan running small chores for others to earn his meal and when he can't find anything to do he even relied on collecting food from the garbage dumps at streets.

Karan was not the only one suffering such conditions as the country of Essennor was colonized by the country of West. The whole country of Essennor was going through extreme poverty as all the resources were being plundered by the colonizers and this thing was going on for over past two centuries.

There were even some social groups struggling for the freedom of their country but the country of West oppressed them with their sheer might.

Whenever the voice asking for freedom grew louder the colonizers went on killing spree to show their might and bury the voice of freedom alongside the bodies of freedom fighters. Due to these colonizers many children lost their parents and were forced to live on their own. The parents of karan also lost their life in one such freedom for struggle.

Karan's parents died when he was at the tender age of four years. He was taken care by the town leader of konta town due to respect for his now deceased parents. But he was left on his own after the age of ten as there were many more such children who required the aid of town to survive this cruel reality.

Since that time Karan just relied on himself and got used to this cruel world. Doing chores at small shops just to earn his daily meal and time passed.
