When the darkness faded, Kunal knew that he wasn't in his hometown.
He tried to observe the surrounding, anything that could let him understand eehere he was. One thing was that, he was in India , if the polluted river was of any proof.
Kunal couldn't help but think of the irony here, ' the country that consider river as goddess, as a mother. If this is how we consider our God's then no wonder where it will go in future. '.
"Here kid, .. Come here. " said a familiar voice not far away from here.
Kunal lokked to find Edward, silently calling him while making is way towards a small house just the corner of street.
'How can he do that. ' Kunal thought, seeing that instead of Edward's presence, his body size , he can still walk around unnoticed.
He turned to take a good look of the house, a two floor house, definitely bigger than his previous one.
It was coloured white, building like a traditional house.
Kunal couldn't find any resembles between Edward and his house, ' Edward is definitely not from here, this house couldn't belong to him. '
He was again intrupteed by Edward's voice, " Come fast kid, we have work to do. "
Kunal followed Edward inside the house, the interior was much better than the exterior.
It was spacy all around , filled with modern equipments, upon just one observation he could find many hidden entrances of the house.
Edward was observing Kunal closely, he was nearly shocked that a young boy found many hidden entrances just in a look, if not for his earlier introduction with this boy, Edward would believe that he was a normal human.
Next Edward showed the boy the house, it has total of 4 rooms, and a huge training area with the view of sunet and sunrise clear for anyone to see.
The training area was filled with many types of weights, wooden swords, spears and even some practice dummy made of wood.
Next Kunal was shown his room, which was on the second floor, the room itself was nice, a medium size t. V, attached bathroom and a sizeable balcony with great view.
Even the room has some weapon for some safety.
This made Kunal wonder about the owners of house, as in every room their were weapons of many calliber, even the bathroom was not spared, but Kunal knew that a man like Edward didn't need these weapon, his strength was alone to take down any madia or gang around.
The sun set and the night emerged, after having dinner in silence, Edward said the boy to sleep saying that his questions will be answered tommorow.
It didn't took Kunal long to sleep, as he was tired from God know what ever happened today.
As Kunal was sleeping, the door opened , Edward silently walked and stood next to Kunal.
He had hoped to test the boy's awareness in rest state, but soon he stopped his curiosity seeing how much the boy was tired and how less he showed it by his face.
While making his way to his own room, Edward was busy in his own world of thoughts.
The next morning came early, Kunal found himself sitting next to Edward in the training room he saw earlier.
Edward though knew that Kunal had so many questions he wanted to ask , but was impressed by the young boy's patience.
The man build like a giant, moved to a dummy purely made of wood.
He moved his hands to the dummy and in the next second electricity flowed from his hand and the dummy was reduced into ashes.
Kunal, keenly observed the electricity, it was different from normal with a slightly golden color from the edges , it's temperature much hotter than the one he had witnessed.
Edward look towards him and continued, "This is the source kr power for anyone living around.
Tiva, is a energy, a force that recides among every living being waiting to be called.
The sun, the riversxthe trees around you and even the very space has tiva as it's energy.
A true master of this energy could be considered equal to God's might.
Tiva, is the source of life among us and it is also the shadow of death that looks behind us.
All is upon how we see it as, it depends upon your imagination and your approach to call that power." And then the man observed the boy to see how he reacts upon this revelation.
He wasn't disappointed when the boy shoes no sign of discomfort or any excitement. It was like it didn't matter to the boy, but for a man like Edward who can see the energy looking in air itself wasn't filled by the poker face of the boy, in front of him the boy was a open book which he can read in less than a second.
In truth Kunal wa shcoked by this news, he wanted to knew that why this man was saying all this infront of him, why he was being involved ik all this things when he was just a simple boy.
Before he could ask anything, Edward again started, " There are two ways to draw out the energy of tiva, one is to use it in its pure state, and other is to change its nature and increase its attack potential.
Although both can be learned, but most only focus on second option. "
Kunal listened very carefully, he was considering the pros and cons of both the cases, before coming to know which way he should choose or rather why was he here he had to clear some of his questions.
He asked Edward, " You can tranform this tiva energy into lightning, so can it be transfoemed into other things too, like fire, air, water. "
Edward made a straight face from outside , but unknown to anyone he was very excited feol outside as if he found a real diamond in least way possible.
He answered, " Yes, it is very much possible, there are many thing about the world even I don't know about.
From what I have seen people can use tiva to create and manipulate lightning, fire and water.
I myself can use it for lightning creation , as you had witnessed.
But for manipulation it needs a lot of control of this energy, but at the end of the day it is not impossible. " Edward said while in his hand was a blade totally made out of blue lightning.
Kunal had a second shock of his day, this man in front of him could create lightning much stronger than natural thunder and evwn manipulate it.
His thoughts were intrupteed by Edward, " Okay kid, while I prepare for food, you need to find out how and in which way you will train.
But if you want my suggestion, I would bet on air . It definitely suits you, but at the end it is all up to you. " said Edward while moving out of room towards the only kitchen if the house.
Kunal was grateful for the time given to him now, his train of thought was now in its full potential, ' If I go for lightning it would hive me speed and destructive power but I will lack the strength and it could become my weakness.
Edward must have train since childhood to compensate with this weakness, his body is far better than any person, that man is literally a beast.
If I choose fire, than I could literally become a flame thrower but it would not increase my strength or speed, although my destructive power will ne undeniable.
Water will make me fluid, a great choice for defence.
Air, will be much better for me, my attacks couls be unpredictable and maybe I could even fly.
But what about controlling tiva in its pire form.
I need to ask from Edward before making any choice. '.
As soon as his train ended Edward called him for breakfast.
The food was amazing, Kunal couldn't believe that Edward could make such a good food.
Edward as if knew what the boy was thinking answered his question, " I was alone for more than half of my life, I knew how to cook from my masters. They were one of the best cook of the world. "
After food was over, Edward took Kunal again to the training room.
" So kid what have you decided. " Edward asked Kunal.
Kunal answered, " Before I have some questions. "
" You said there two ways to make use this tiva.
But I still didn't knew anything about it.
And where in the body is exactly this energy you mentioned.
How to channel this energy. "
Edward smiled but answered, " Kid you sure are something.
So, tiva is a physical manifestation of your will power, your life force and your physical strength.
Anything that has life and will power, will definitely have tiva.
Tiva is like a energy that keeps the world going.
The sun, the nature, the air, oceans everything have tiva as their source of energy.
Our Earth too is the source of energy, a spherical ball of tiva. "
Edward again continues, " Tiva has two ways of channelling it.
One is to think it as a shape, for example like a sphere of golden energy.
This golden sphere of energy then will the source of the energy of the body. This is for using it for transformation of this energy.
And another was is to think it as a extension of our body, think of it as a continues flow of energy that flow to every part of the body. ".
