Her mother was a famous writer. Sadly, she left this world before finishing her novel.
Though it was hard for her, not to go through the same emotions she felt 3 years ago again, but to complete a story, she had to finish it.
Alara finally, decided...
My thoughts were interrupted when I heard someone shifting the bowl of medicine towards me.
I looked at him not believing that, that stupid book spirit brought me at the starting point of Alara's life. I am now 11 years old kid. That useless punk.
"I am just a wandering physician, who happened to find you in the forest, when I was collecting the herbs. You were injured, so I brought you back here." he said in gentle voice.
"Thank you so much sir, for helping me out." I said bowing down to show my respect.
"Why don't you drink this medicine first? And then tell me, how did a small kid end up there? he asked, his eyes curious but with a blank look.
Time to show my acting skills. I told him about the past, making few changes here and there, tears automatically flowing from my eyes.
"Now, I don't really have a place to go. What should I do? Where should I go? I am all alone at this world! I don't have any skills and knowledge about anything. They left me all alone at this place!" I sobbed out loudly.
Uwuuwuu. What should I do now? Uwwuwuw.
"Here, here stop crying. All have to go one day...." He comforted me. Well, tried to. Patting my head, awkwardly.
I sobbed out more. His hands kept on patting my head, he couldn't form any words out of his mouth.
"You can stay here as long as you like. He said quietly but in awkward way. My plan working, I looked at him with tears in my eyes.
"But....but, I would only be a burden to you."
"Well, stay here for now and then think what you can do?"
Perfect!
I suddenly, kneeled down in front of him. "Then, please take me as your disciple. I want to learn from you. I will do anything you say. Please, take it as a form of my repayment." I said looking at him with my determined eyes and tear-stricken face.
Please, please, come on, say yes
Flustered at my sudden actions, he was loss at words.
"First, please stand up" he said urging me, taking my arm.
I refused, he tried again. I was adamant. This went on for the whole one minute.
"Fine, I will accept you as my disciple" he sighed in defeat.
Yes!!!
In joy, I hugged him tight. "Thank You, Master!" He went still at sudden hug but soon relaxed and patted my behind chuckling.
"Then, lets first complete master-disciple bonding ceremony." He said getting up from chair.
I started getting up but he signalled me to kneel down and looked up at him.
The story said, it would be difficult to make him my master, what happened? He was supposed to be eccentric and aloof of his surroundings. His temperament changed? Or is it because I am a helpless child? I should get Oscars for my acting! ( ͡ _ ͡°) ♫
He started chanting a spell, "I Lazarus Fyre, taking heaven, earth and its elements as a witness, I hereby take Alara Zoe as my succeeding disciple, swearing to pass my learning and skills" when a small wave of blue light emerged from his forehead and suddenly went into my forehead. Startled, I closed my eyes. A warm feeling filled my body but soon vanished.
"Stand up." He commanded me. I opened my eyes and stood up.
"Thats all?" I said it aloud.
He flicked my forehead lightly. "What do you need more then?" He said chuckling lightly.
"Here, wear this" He said suddenly bringing a pendent magically bringing out in his hand.
I looked at the simple pendent. It was small blue crystal, emitting soft blue light, which disappeared once I wore it.

"What is it master?"
"I put the spell of protection on it, it would protect you and also, shows a gift for my disciple." He said smiling.
"When will I start learning from you?" I said excitedly.
"Now, why don't you rest here for a while, I need to go somewhere. Will discuss it later."
I nodded, going with him outside.
He disappeared in blink of an eye. What? He teleported right now? This world of magic is definitely interesting.
Taking a deep breath, I laid down the bed of medicineroom. I feel bad to lie to the master? But I need to do it right? To complete the story!
