Chapter 5 The Learner

5. THE LEARNER

The six had no sleep all night. It was smiling face of Sameer that disturbed them all the time. Each of them cursed themselves for having come to this spot. The birds started to chirp. It was another morning, an unpleasant one. They could not even open their mouth to talk with one another. They were talking with their eyes. There was absolute silence around them. Silence is so frustrating for few but not everyone.

Five months back in time …………..

Deep in a hillock there is a dark village. It has huts about 100 all around close to each other. Each hut has a family of dark sorcerers. Every one capable of making a man meet death with single spell. Each one of them has to feed their black energy with human spirits to make them strong.  The more spirits added to their black energy the more strong they become.

The villagers were so habituated to see a corpse every hour. The gap was so big as an hour because of the time taken by the spell to work or else the gap could have been even small. They have no reverence to relationships. Cases were found where son casted a spell on his father to increase his power. The spells learnt by a disciple would never work on his Teacher, his Mother and children who are less than 7 years of age. This is the only reason why the population grows in the village and every father becomes his son’s Teacher.

In a corner of the village, a father started teaching his son “Son! You are now seven and it’s customary to teach the spells of black magic. Black magic origin is an age old subject. It is originated by Lord Shiva, who devised certain methods to control the spirits of the dead. That is why he is called Bhoota natha. The sorcerers have learnt it from him and who in turn passed it to their successors. Black magic is about making yourself powerful. It equips you with all the negative energy. You can force this negative energy to work upon other to convert them into black energy again. To win in life either you have to perform or you have to drench someone who performs. The prerequisite for this art is to believe in Black energy. Believe that black energy exists to the core of the heart.      All the aspects of life prove the existence of black energy. If there is light, there is shadow. If there is no darkness you cannot appreciate light. This is the basic principle of life. Many philosophies support this logic. Bhagvad-Gita says “If you do not slay your enemies due to the feeling of compassion for them, then out of greed for power they will surely slay you. So it is better you slay them and enjoy the sovereignty.” The Chinese philosophy of Yin-Yang says the same. Yin, the dark energy and Yang, the positive energy interact with each other and destine the future of this world. They are to counter forces that maintain the balance of universe. So you do no harm to the world by practicing black magic. It is always good to be powerful. You can be powerful through black magic in no time. But mind you it is not going to be easy. A sorcerer needs to sacrifice a lot in his life to get power. Remember that power is supreme.”

The seven year old listened to his father with great presence. Every word of his teacher sunk deep in to his heart. In fact these were the principles of life for every sorcerer in that village and the young lad is also going to abide by them too. People of that village never knew that he would be the greatest sorcerer of that village.

The sorcery is not an easy art to learn. Sorcerer needs to stay fasting for months to learn the art of black magic. He needs to meditate for days. He needs to be silent for hours. That is the reason they love silence. It is these hard tasks that make them insensitive.

The Lad was quick in learning and enthusiastic in logic. He always had few questions for his teacher when he came out of his meditation.

“How does the Black energy force its power on other?” asked the lad

His father was surprised by his logic. He never asked questions to his father but learnt everything through experience and practice.

“The black energy or spirit settles itself around the victim and forces negative waves into the brain of the victim which converts all his energy to black energy and the black energy gains complete control over the victim. This process is gradual.”

“Does the cast work on individual or on group?”Asked the boy

“Yes it does work on group but it is gradual too. It works one by one. It might take different intervals of time for an individual based on his susceptibility to the black and negative thoughts”

***********************************************************

The curious lad grew into a good sorcerer in no time. He mastered the basics of casting a spell to enforce death. He had learnt this in 4 months. He has to feed his black energy to grow as a sorcerer to next level.

He was in deep meditation one day. He is trying to focus his energy as a usual practice. His black energy flashed on to his forehead. It is sign that black energy demanded for a pure spirit to be added. Purity demands clean soul and selflessness.
