"Sneha's father has cancer in his liver and you know about how much cancer treatment costs, but that brave girl didn't lose hope and even jokingly once told me she is going to find a rich husband in the headquarters. He will pay for father 's treatment because he wouldn't like to see me sad."Sneha's mother said, barely holding back tears.
Advitya listening to her just nodded. He has just lost the drive to take her responsibility, then he asked about which village they are from and their family name. With this both him and Saksham said goodbye to the anguished couple.
Advitya and Saksham made their way to the open field near the information department, and someone from the sect is coming to take them to the capital.
Other children from the Lanka region already had been sent to the capital; only he and Saksham remained.
During the way he and Saksham encountered the same streets that were bustling with people now with only free winds of tragedy; many had lost their family, their home and some themselves.
When they arrived at the information building a worker showed them their destination, the open field the person who was going to pick them had not arrived yet so their attention was diverted to weapons that were on display on the side.
Swords, helberd, bow and arrow, saber and spear. Each one of them has a lot of variety, Advitya was enthralled by these weapons even back on earth he always wanted to hold them, move around with them and use them but never got a chance as back in village there was a strict rule of no weapons until you appear in selection test.
Advitya tried all of the weapons and he liked sabres the most, they were light, gave him hand protection and allowed the other hand to be free. He can just imagine a saber in one hand and magical technique in the other.
Advitya looking over at Saksham asked "Don't you like any of the weapons here Saksham."
"No Advitya and I really don't like weapons in general you become too dependent on those external things. In my village there was a frightening man who was not even a body practitioner but with his spear he used to defeat everyone in battle. He was really fearsome but one day while battling his spear broke, the moment his spear left him he became nothing, he didn't even fight too flustered and out of the space."
"What happened to him?"
"He died,"Saksham replied with a straight face.
A seed of doubt appeared on Advitya's mind
'Weapons being an external thing will provide me with any real advantage or will just become my weak spot yet to be exploited'.
