It was the night before Tom starts for the school, a dim and sacred night, because it was Ninja Care well Festival, and the Quarrel House no.4 wasn’t decorated brightly like any other houses, or did lights were gleaming, it was completely dark there, Gaylord and Katie bickering about who’ll take the new pen, as Tom hummed a gay song as he packed over his school things, a brand new typewriter, books, wrung pens, and a mangled school bag.
A Perfect set of books were sent to Tom, and his uniforms too which turned out to be very eccentric and quite unexpected. It were like robes but were smaller than robes, in black color which could only reach up to your knees and down them, you wear black trousers.
On the first school day, Tom was awakened up, and got fully dressed and sat on Beautix old crimson car, which could live for exactly a year or two. Tom was packed inside and Beautix was about to start the engine when Tom remembered he had forgotten his Pens and diary. The second time Tom had remembered to get his ‘Spaceology 1‘when Beautix had taken a right turn to leave the Quarrel Avenue. Beautix was fierce, with Aunt Julia snarling.
They halted before a large crimson gate, believed to be the school gate. Katie piped up “Here comes Penelope! Mamma, I’m going!”
Saying so, she dashed to meet her creepy friend, Gaylord dashing along with her, as Tom came out of the car, steadily. “Sorry, err- may I know if this is Omega and if it’s eight? “
Asked a girl about the age of Tom, with bright bushy yellow hairs and a very glinting and dynamic face, as Tom nodded but it seemed foolish to him because it was already written on the ticket counter with big letters. And everyone can see the large clock tower, can’t this girl? And is she as blind as Tom? Maybe.
Tom had big hopes to find Bruce or Candy but it seemed they’ve forgotten to check the date.
“Go, Tom.” Urged Beautix.
As Tom began to drag his feet through the school gate, he felt himself in a new world of a blind as an old man helped him, crossing big playing fields, as students squabbled contently, old blue buildings termed as school buildings, Tom hurried to find his room 123.
Omega was large, a big mass of Ice Mountains a little farther from it, and swoopy staircases, big enough to fit the whole Quarrel house no.4, and large classes relating to different subjects like Demos, Rorsology, Meximinsim and more. Tom felt a flush of pride run through him as he moved around the 5 floor buildings, raking for his school room 123.
The walls were red, class walls were lilac and the each room had 4 sofas, a table, washrooms, (sadly no computer or TVs) and nothing else. Tom was obliged to stay from eight to three in school, have fun in his school rooms but the dire thing was to return home in the evening, to get punches from Gaylord. A maid, named Mary was helping Tom find his rooms. The Maid was also new; she hardly knew how many classes were held. Tom couldn’t hang about like that with her and everyone seems to goggle at Tom, strangely. Mostly because Tom was blind, and Omega wasn’t supposed to be enrolled by blinds.
Feeling dejected and exhausted, Tom soon figured out a red glowing door to be the entrance to his room, and bidding Mary Thank you, Tom finally walked into his room, sadly but step back as everyone wailed.
“Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?”
“OH NO!”
“DEAD”
“HELP ME!”
And then a crackling of applauses, as Tom felt Bruce wail with joy and terribleness, Katie screaming at Tom, a very tall handsome boy, dropping his bread , and a blackish boy staring at Tom, blindly.
“What’s up? Who’re you?” Tom managed to say.
“This boy!” The black boy danced “We’re so lucky, we’ve the first handicapped student as our roommate!”
So is this the issue for them startled and scared, that a handicapped like Tom blushed and said in a much drained voice “Umm…Isn’t there anymore blinds?”
“No.” Bruce came near and gave a jolly hug, and then retorted “We’ve got Tom! The first handicapped! We’ve made a school record! Be Happy Tom!”
“Tom…might not be much familiar with your roars,” the tall boy said “And now don’t make him feel so much fatigued and worse. We just have another good roommate.”
“Have I introduced myself yet? “ The tall boy greeted “ Welcome to the group 123 and I’m Liam, a 6th grader, this black one is Brownie, 3rd grader and this is Bruce, you seem to know and this is-“
“Katie.” Katie completed and burst into moans and keens “Arhhgggga! Tom’s my roommate! It’s so unpleasant!”
“You’re again making him feel worse.” Brownie repeated.
“I think you’ll enjoy in school hours.” Liam said “I’m the captain of this group, and also the school prefect, excuse me.” And then with a rush, Liam paced out the room.
“Groups?” Inquired Tom.
“Yea, Groups. We have 25 groups in total, and our one’s 23rd. Liam’s our captain and at end of the session one of the groups will get reward for best student of the year, best room of the year and first boys and girls always gets, you need to beat up the fools.” Brownie explained.
“And we won’t get this year because we have Tom.” Katie said, making a hoarse face.
“Shut up.” Bruce screeched “We won’t survive with you this morning.”
“Come with me to the hall, they’ll be putting the timetable soon.” Urged Brownie and seizing Bruce away from squabbling with Katie and helped Tom get to the hall.
The hall was vast; a stage prepared for the principal speeches, as Brownie grabbed them to gawk at the boards, in which the timetables were put up.
“Here, we have Demo lessons, Space class, Plant classes and reform club.” Said Bruce “What’s reform club?”
“Every year they make club for film classes, Oxford Chatting and more, that’s altogether called Reform Club. You’re signing up for them aren’t you, Bruce?” Asked Brownie.
“Oh, but Tom can’t have film thrills.” Bruce mumbled, reluctantly.
“We will have more fun. Tom ‘ll too I’ll tell Liam to take up you two’s names.” Brownie murmured.
Soon Tom and Bruce started retreating to pick up their books and pens while Bruce helped Tom get his things and direct to the first class, starting the year with Demo.
The students began to clamber inside; Tom helped himself down into the second bench, joined by Bruce. In their front were a skinny boy and Candy and behind were Katie and her beloved friend Penelope.
A red haired, simple faced woman gaited into classroom, with a black book in her hand. She was dressed in beautiful jeweler, seeming to say she must be very famous teacher. She took the registration first and then as she stepped cautiously, and beamed at everyone and stopped at the sight of Tom.
“Welcome!” She had a hard voice like steel “I’m your Demo teacher, Miss Amy Jones, and I’ll be taking you into a world of Psychic powers and ghouls and the most bizarre lives of souls which may help you reach the stars. But before starting on I’ve something to say, we have a blind boy here, he’s Tom.”
Everyone’s eyes fixed over Tom, as Katie groaned.
“Who’ll like to help him in daily school affairs and help him give notes?”
Bruce’s hands went straight into the air. “Madam I, Bruce.”
“So Bruce‘ll help Tom in his school lessons. I warn you not to tease him or make him hurt since he’s HANDICAPPED”
Tom felt a strange gleam in his heart. After all, he didn’t expect that anyone will mock him, other than Katie and Gaylord and his gruesome uncle and aunt or perhaps, Dex.
After clearing her steel throat, Miss Jones said in a sermonic voice “Now we will see the syllabus for Demo 1st year, we will be covering vastly on what is Demo and how many Demoers have reached the faith with Psychic powers, history of Sir Cleomenes and how he killed one of the greatest sorcerer ,Lord Ova. I dare you not to babble about him, he’s malevolent. Then we will peep deep into the seas of Demo powers and will discover your own hidden power like Blesk, Thinkination, Dark Magic, Healer, and more. Then we will look into the last thing, Fination, and at last there will be your final examination to test your Demo skills.”
Tom felt very thrilled in the name of such super lessons they’ all cover and he gained extreme ecstasy as Miss Jones spoke of Fination. He had heard of Fination, it’s important for Mirage. Now, he’ll be able to know why he is blind and how.
“For today I’m going to keep things simple for you.” Miss Jones smiled “We’re going to know what are a Demo and its various elements and important aspects.”
Then she looked at Candy. “Candy, can you explain me what’s a Demo?”
Candy stood up, mused for a bit and answered “The ability to enlarge our hidden powers and the study of Psychic skills.”
“Very good.” Miss Jones smiled “So it is the only subject people deem as very eccentric because it was hard to study and it was banned on 1456 and again taken as a major subject in 1765, by the Law of Demoers. There have been numerous Demoers outside the world, one still alive, Sir Terra Campbell. He’s famous as a Rorsologers and his books are all best sellers. But few people know he discovered Blesk, the power to move or destroy things. I can see Candy has a hidden ability of Blesk. Bruce can use Dark Magic, to do series of damage. Rio (the skinny boy) has an ability of Healer that is to heal any sickness, excellent.”
“Miss, me?” Asked Tom, very snooping to know.
“You have Thinkination, a very powerful ability and also the hardest to master. Whatever you think will be expressed in special magical words which I’ll teach you. But not like that too easy. You can do whatever you think, that’s very renowned and one in a ten.” Suddenly Miss Jones looked very stern and afraid.
Tom sat, as Katie smiled vaguely, and Penelope sniggered “Stupid, think and do. Only a dim can get this power.”
Bruce patted at Tom. “Don’t mind that Penny and Kati, they’re as bad as their words.”
“So, now let’s turn into its various elements. I’ll be happy if everyone notes them down and Tom you can try the typewriter and can ask Bruce for help.”
“One of the most important elements to use Demo powers is Concentration and will power. Most of the people nowadays lack willpower; they hate to believe they can do anything. And few are over- ambitious and lead themselves into a pit and get drowned. Another is Ambition. Over Ambition can lead to disappointment and flouting of heart, but been ambitious is good to achieve your ends, but not by cunning methods. Now the last one is Courage, one of the hardest thing people fail to overlook. Most people estimate that it’s calamitous for someone to have courage for unleashing real Demo powers, but it is. So the four elements are Concentration, Will power, Ambition, and Courage. These are required for performing Demo attacks and skills.”
Miss Jones stopped as Bruce scanned Tom’s notes for him, and corrected a few mistakes and then asked “Miss, isn’t goodness required?”
“Goodness, a good question.” Miss Jones said, pleasantly” You may argue with me in this, but that’s depending on for what you’re using your dexterity. You might be cunning but that does not affect your career awfully, can’t kill you in instance, but will finish you in a term of hardly 5 or 10 years. It’s worse than been killed. But can also affect your life, can lead you into your destruction. So it is a variable element, goodness which you’ll learn in 3rd year.”
Within a short span of another fifteen minutes, class was concluded as Tom and Candy (Since Bruce said he had some work) guided their ways into the hall, for breakfast. Tom discerned lots of plates and bowls in the table and got attracted to the plates which were filled with Potato soup, Hamburger, hummus with meat, scoops of chocolate ice cream, sweets, Chicken , Juices, Vanilla crème Brule , tasty treats, Fried rice, Sandwiches, Burgers , cakes and so on…
“Look the principal, Sir Tinetin!”
“And” Tom tore his eyes from the food to the Principal who was white bearded, with round glasses and a rather snooping face, which had stood up. “A Very Jolly year it should be! Welcome to Omega, for another perfect year. Before you can satisfy your hungers you must know something. Anyone interested in Water biking or Tritet, Hisek and Gotank must talk with Miss Dorothy. 1st graders aren’t allowed in the mountains and the prefects shall remember that too well. Most of you might have your first classes already I think. And none of you shall roam in the mountains since a furious blizzard is supposed to occur by a few days and it’s even risky for prefects. Thank you for your patience. “
As the principal took his seat, everyone hasted with the super delicious food. Everyone seemed like starving for ages.
“I can’t really satisfy my malnourishment with these. “ Liam said honestly, looking at Candy who had her robes fastened over her left ear “After all we don’t have feasts every day!”
Tom felt full like an inflated balloon. He was so full of food that he could hardly stagger now, but somehow walked with Liam back into his room.
There was a fairly shrill hum outside which had made Tom stir in his chair. No one was exactly knocking, Bruce had peeked into his room and beeped “You need to come, there’s a real mayhem!”
“What’s up Bruce?” Asked Tom.
“You may not think it’s so small, when really and really someone is lost.” Bruce mumbled.
“Really? Who?” Tom asked.
“Come on.” Bruce urged.
Both the boys had laid their legs in the floor, one curiously and another critically. The massive, never ending corridors had three or four classes and a large crowd of snooping and panicky students had appeared and it was what had caught Tom’s sapphire eyes.
“What’s going on there?”
“Come and you will know.”
Tom and Bruce, almost knocking an elder student dashed to see the matter. The crowds of students were surrounding a board with a picture of a green-haired impulsive boy and a girl and below their pictures were written – LOST. Please inform the teachers if you have seen them anywhere in the school. They are lost from last night in their home.
“This is IMPOSSIBLE. “ Bruce said; upset “It’s Harry Boot, a 2nd grader and a girl called Belle, 4th grader who is lost!”
Tom and Bruce found Liam stuck in a corner dumbfounded. Founding them, he said in a startled voice “Such things have never, never happened in Omega. The teachers, the staff and everyone are searching for them from last night. Where could they have gone?”
“Home, I think. “ Bruce replied. “But you know, I think we’re better off without that Harry boy. And it’s not the school’s err, they’re lost from their own homes!”
After a few minutes of discussion, Tom tore his eyes from the pictures even if he can’t see but he didn’t stop thinking about the matter. So, he’s missing, but the question is, where is that fellow is and Belle?
Tom and Bruce were roving the whole school. Omega has many buildings to explore.
“We have space classes, come quickly.” Said Bruce.
It was Miss Penny who took their Space class. She was cool and clever, her complicated notes about planets and satellites will leave you dazed and dizzy at the same time. She would give a lot of homework but she never liked scolding people or she detested stupid answers as much as Sir Blake and Sir chuck, the Plant teacher.
“In my class only sincere and reflective students will survive. “ Sir Blake had said at the very first as all of them had taken their positions “I don’t think you can understand the real meaning of power of plants, the real charm in a fungi or the enchanting Potbelly barrier. As you people have taken plant lessons, you must cram really hard. “
After that, he had continued a large, very large speech about the great Plant scientists of all time. What Tom and Bruce did was to copy everything he said on.
They started their class with easy Plant instrument movements and how to tickle a Potbelly plant firmly. And it was when Bruce made blunder, a great blunder.
“Slashes are what we are starting with for your exams. Just see me. “Said Sir Chuck, using a large plant knife.
Bruce hadn’t heard properly that Sir Chuck said only to see, not to do. And with a jam-packed energy and might, Bruce thrust his knife straight at left. He did exactly same like Sir Chuck with only two little differences. One, Sir Chuck had done it coolly and Bruce did it agitatedly. Two, Sir Chuck hit no one but a plant but Bruce did.
“Oh ...” Sir Chuck sighed.
Bruce had, perhaps accidently, knocking and battered terribly in Rio’s sharp, white teeth, which had almost broken. Bruce stood, guilty – faced, while a few laughed out whole heartedly. “Enough, you take him to the hospital, you’ll find it straight from here. “ Said Sir Chuck to a twin, named Crax looking dazed “And YOU! What did I said you? Just TO WATCH.”
Bruce scrambled down as Sir Chuck yelled appallingly. Lots of students went paralyzed with giggles and unforgettable chuckles.
IT’ S GETTING very BORING. “Bruce said in the lunch table in front of Liam, Candy, Brownie and Tom.
“Only for you. But think of Blake sir or Miss Jones, they are very skilled.” Candy muttered.
“Everyone’s skilled in their profession” Bruce said in dismay.
“What about those lost students, did anyone find them?” Brownie changed the subject quickly and speedily.
“No.” Liam answered very sadly “No one yet. Everyone’s searching for them. But you know if those students think of climbing the mountain, they’ll never return.”
“Why?” Tom asked.
“Because from tomorrow there’s supposed to be a very, very strong blizzard in the mountains. But we will not be affected so no worries. Sir Tinetin will protect us.”
“How?”
“He knows. And don’t always ask questions, Tommy.” Liam said with frustration.
“And what about their parents?” Tom asked, not listening to Liam’s words.
“They’re informed I think. “ Liam said, gaining consciousness as he tried hard to bit off the cake.
Tom drank from his goblet, anxiously. Harry and Belle’s parents must be very worried about him. And if really they had gone up to the mountains, they’ll never come back.
“Are you coming to the reform club, Tom?” Asked Bruce. “We’ve to now end up murdering each other there. I heard Sir Fin can turn very nasty.”
Sir Fin was an excellent sullen teacher, but joking sometimes when he is a good mood. Being very moody, he hardly remembered for what the students were in the auditorium.
“Yes, we’re here for the reform club, I believe.” He said ghastly, with grey cold eyes fixed upon Tom. “And we have a blind here, Tom, but according to today’s issue, we will see the movie ‘Handicapped’. You’ll enjoy this, but Tom won’t, not because he is blind but Miss Jones has urgently sent for him. Candy take him there.”
Feeling stupid, Tom walked with a horrible feeling Candy into the second floor and stopped in the office of Miss Jones as Candy inquired “What have you done? You haven’t got detentions, have you?”
“No. Not in my first day back, “Tom said in a groomed up tone as he went saying farewell to Candy and at last, inside the office of Miss Amy Jones.
“Miss, May I come in?” Asked Tom looking into Miss Jones’s Office.
It was not vast, but looking as creative as her. There were pictures of famous Demoers all over the office, and Miss Jones sat numbly petting a black hound.
“Yes, come my boy.”
“Miss, you called on me for some matter.” Said Tom, inquisitively, pressing his blind eyes into the direction of Miss Jones.
“Yes, I wanted to ask you a few questions. Please sit.”
“Yes?”
“You’re blind from being born?”
Tom contemplated a bit and replied in a stern tone “No, by an illness they say a fusion of Mirage-“
“I understand.” Miss Jones put up a rare smile “There’s something weird in you. First of all, you have Thinkination power, which very few have. And you’re blind. A handicapped person has no Demo power. So I believe someone has put a curse on you.”
She stopped dead. Tom drew a heavy breathe. “But w-who?”
She closed her hands, and packed them smartly saying “That’s a mystery. Since it’s a curse it’s dangerous for you to study demo, because you’re affected by a curse.”
“But I like it so much.”
“I think you can but at a word: You must not peep depth into cursing folk magic. It’s a ruined magic which will take away the goodness in you and will expose you in darkness, making you evil. So, be very careful not to read such books, they have power to hypnotize you, eventually. And since you’re a blind by a curse, you’ll recover at a certain age.”
She smirked at Tom, who didn’t smile back but showed the slightest hope of recovering from the bounds of darkness which had ensnared and destroyed the little happiness of enjoying the nature’s beauty and its unforgettable glamour.
“Now Tom is there anything you want to say me?”
Tom pondered carefully. He might tell her about the strange amulet letter he got relating to Omega, about Pearl and the strange feeling he had that someone is following him, and about Uncle Hunk. But he shook off his head remembering Uncle Hunk’s warnings.
“No, Miss.”
“Good, you may go. I’m the headmistress so contact me if you are facing any crisis.”

“What Miss Jones told you, Tom?”
Bruce and Candy had ensnared Tom as soon as the Reform club was over and all the students were making their way back home.
Feeling dazed, Tom related his friends everything.
“So you’re blind by a curse. I can’t wait to see you have eyes like us.” Candy beamed.
Soon Tom was back into the Quarrel Avenue and in the House no.4 and ringing the doorbell with a Grisly Katie and over fed Gaylord, Aunt Julia rushed to Katie, hugging her, as Uncle Beautix embraced his son more happily.
“Umm… So stupid” mused Tom, grinning at their uncle and aunt’s puzzled faces.
“Tom, you come here” Said Aunt Julia, showing her red eyes. “I told you to prepare our Breakfast and go. No dinner.”
Tom sighed, because he was already full of feasts but the words of Miss Jones rang in his ears.
‘I think you can study Demo but at a word: You must not look too depth into cursing folk magic. It’s a ruined magic which will take away the goodness in you and will expose you in darkness, making you evil. So, be very careful not to read such books, they have power to hypnotize you, eventually. And since you’re a blind by a curse, you’ll recover at a certain age.’ Those were surely strange and eccentric for a thirteen aged boy like Tom, who wants badly to see the world.
Say what Tom will like to see if he was given eyes for at least 3 days. At first day he’ll wake up and enjoy the sun’s radiance and then will enjoy the nature which has made humans so valiant. And then he’ll discover more about human races.
On the second day, he’ll look into his friend’s faces, know them well and look into his own school and try to read the whole library.
On the night he’ll look in to the moon with telescopes and on the third day he’ll look into theses’ people’s faces that have made Tom’s life worth living. But it is too much to see, Tom will see the whole world’s natural beauty and clumsiness joined by knowledge and his friends by two days only.
It was Tuesday according to Earth and Tom was on his way to school with Bruce and Liam this time. Bruce seemed to be very interested in figuring out who cursed Tom and how.
As they paced, a sudden hooting of footsteps again followed Tom. He wheeled and asked Liam about it who didn’t respond. Thinking it again as stupid, Tom drew it away and away far for his mind, then soon he was now peeking into Space classes.
“Tom, you remember about the letter, you got? “ Candy asked excitedly, at the end of the space class.
“Yes, I think it’s here somewhere.” Said Tom, searching in his bag.
“You know what? I’ve thought to make a team. “
“A team?” Tom inquired.
“Yeah!” Candy urged “We can make a team and form our first mission ‘Find the Amulets’, Team ‘Busy Bees’!”
“What? The name’s…” Bruce sighed.
“Bad? “ Candy thundered “ITS BETTER THAN YOUR IDEAS. Come on, we can take Bruce with us to find the Amulets with the clue letter!”
“But it’s stupid I think. “ Bruce said.
“Oh guy, no sense of adventure. I’ll empower your adventuring spirit, Bruce.” Candy said.
“Not a bad idea.” Tom beamed at Bruce who nodded reluctantly.” Three of us, OK?”
“OK. “ Bruce asked “Now, read the first clue for the first Amulet Tom and yes can’t we include others like Liam or Blanche? “
“No, keep it private. “ Candy bellowed. “NOW SAY, Tom!”
“Yes” Said Tom and started reciting “One maybe found where we please,
Where we rest and cram as we please, Hmm... What do we make of this?”
“Let’s think.” Candy said. “The Busy Bees needs a brainstorm – “
“Poorly.” Tom completed.
“Idea, my brain’s bulb light has turned on!” Bruce yowled “It says the place we all like, we all prefer!”
“Yea…” Tom muttered under his nervous breathes.
“In the toilet!” Bruce shouted, and stopped and stared at the funny and perplexed look in Candy’s and Tom’s face.
“I think your brain’s bulb light has turned off.” Candy said with some rage “NEVER and NEVER, a Toilet! Seriously, Bruce you are having a stern crumple in your brain! We need someone brainy!”
“Alright, Alright. “ Said Bruce, shaking with anger “I’m not in your woozy and debris mission, cut me out.”
“Settle down, Settle down.” Tom urged “Come on sit. Oh, look at the time, the Demo lessons are about to start!”
Miss Jones was the youngest teacher in Omega. She wore a massive reddish gown like thing today, looking like some sort of recently made a queen.
“Welcome again to my class” She said in a very gentle, polite and sweet voice “This class you’re here to learn from your inner mind, from your inner heart about exactly of the psychic power and what terrible a power a monk has. But for this year, we’re going to keep everything low and you’re welcome to learn about the first steps about how accomplish real freedom from the bonds of life. “
Now, Bruce asked a very stupid question “Do you mean we’ll have to attain salvation, meaning we’ll have to attain our death?”
“NO. It’s not exactly an experiment that I’ll die and show you how to die, but I will tell you about Hritek Roshan, the greatest Salvator. Now what a Salvator means, Salvator means a person who studies Psychic powers. He-“Miss Jenny’s words were cut short by Bruce
“Attained Salvation?” Asked Bruce making everyone laugh.
“NO. “ Miss Jones struggled to keep her voice low. “He explained about the four virtues of how to reach your aim and that’s what we are to discuss today. Well, I want to see everyone note them down. No.1 He said that the best place is Home. It’s the only place where you can rest and do as much as you want and nothing better than your own rooms, right? And let me explain how it is connected with our aims…..”
Suddenly a flash of intuition had leapt into Tom’s mind. He had solved the first mystery.
“I’ve got it!” He exclaimed.
“What you’ve got? Candies or Chocolates?”
Tom peered into Miss Jones’s peculiar black face. “I mean I-I that Hritek Roshan is really g-great. “
“Good. I believe you’ll only choose demo as your main subject for the 7th grades”
Tom couldn’t wait for the class to finish. Because of the terrible excitement he even forgot to note Hritek Roshan’s teachings.
“What’s up with you? “Candy asked after class to a very keyed up Tom.
“Hritek Roshan is the best man I’ve ever heard of.”
“OH. “ Bruce asked being annoyed “We all know he is the God of all the demoers here. And now tell what you’ve got.”
“I’ve found the place where the first Amulet could be!”
“Where?” Candy asked eagerly, even Bruce seemed fervent to know.
“In Rooms! It could be in any of our rooms! Because you know home? Home is the best place for resting and cramming. So that’s where we will find it. “
Bruce seemed very relieved but Candy seemed sorry. “But there are hundreds of houses here. Which one to search?” She asked practically.
“Yea, that’s true. “ Tom said reasonably. “It could be anywhere. But does it hurt you to go and check your houses?”
“But it’s true, and the first one was the most and the most easy. “ Bruce smiled down at Tom. “Anyone could have guessed it. “
The afternoon blizzard was heart shaking. The mountain was covered with beautiful snow, dangerous snow in which the whips of cold wind was blowing. Tom and Bruce were just assembled in their seats to meet the lunch.
“What we have next?” Asked Tom.
“Rorsology, with Sir Chuck, I suppose.” Bruce guzzled off his juice.
They had their first Rorsology class with Sir Chuck, a tall brown moustache and pink faced man, with largely build body. But Bruce didn’t made a blunder in his second class, thankfully because he was full of ire.
“In my class only sincere and reflective students will survive. “ Sir Chuck had said at the very first as all of them had taken their positions, and then he carried on the class, badly.
“So as you see these soaring sticks are mainly made of the plant matter Fior. So what’s Fior?”
“Fungi part of the Geo Plant, helps to grow the plants in Rorsology “Tom answered.
“Yes… Like this.”
The Rorsology class carried on with Sir Chuck’s boring lecture and use of soaring sticks and Candy kept on mumbling about That Miss Penny, the elder sister of Miss Jenny, Brother Charlie, Weather and Brother Charlie. It seemed his brother Charlie was her favorite subject of matter to natter about, no question she had a bad fad on Brother Charlie.
“You wouldn’t know, Brother Charlie first in the 4th grades! He’s cool!”
“Why?” Bruce asked, looking very dull.
“He’s great... good looking…” Liam muttered, sneering as Candy agreed with him.
“Yes... he is….” Candy nattered.
The two kept on babbling about Brother Charlie’s 100 achievements or how Charlie defeated the great dragon of Fairy kingdom as Tom stared through the window into the blue sky. No, it wasn’t blue it was starting to be a bit yellow, but Tom couldn’t see it.
“Please listen carefully” Sir Chuck muttered as the bell rang “As far as the weather report the climate would be razing with cold. The temperature could approximately reach 0 degrees so I think those who don’t have warmer clothes would take it from the hospital as soon as possible by tomorrow.”
“Hmm.” Bruce mumbled to Tom “You know what? The amulet of Ice had started its power “
“What of What?” Liam asked oddly to Bruce.
“It’s the Amu-“griped Bruce.
Before Bruce could complete, Tom gave Bruce an awful pinch on his left shoulder which proved to be worthy as Bruce and Tom jogged in whatever direction out of the class swiftly.
“Remember to keep it private? We can’t let the whole school know we’re after the Amulets!”
“But we’re doing it for everyone’s good... Eric’s sake…” Bruce griped grumpily.
“OH!” Tom shouted “I’m tired of talking nonsense about Amulets, I’m giving up, and you people hear me?”
Candy came jogging. “WHAT?”
“Are Harry and Belle still missing?” Asked Tom.
“Yes. The school’s mad for searching him.” Bruce groaned “The amulets?”
“Can y-you believe the temperature? It’s getting awfully cold. Let’s get some warm clothes” Said Tom, avoiding the chat about amulets but shivering in the whipping of chilly air which seemed as strong as the Ice Mountains itself.
As last day was extremely cold, Wednesday was awfully hot. Tom couldn’t believe such haphazard nature effects, even while doing dishes, sweating heavily. All those warm clothes he got from school were too much bone shaking in this humid climate.
None would have guessed such a sizzling and after all the ice in the mountains which never melt have started melting. Tom had been shut in his room hotly. Not only him, the whole school was to be shut up by tomorrow and there was nothing much to do.
And the most tremendous thing was that Sir Tinetin was away from school, in the Master Dragon Kingdom to meet one of his friends and the school had been expecting him badly. If the ice continues to melt, all will die in this hot.
The sweltering and sultry was now unbearable. Temperature had risen to 45 degrees and humidity 92%.
Tom knew it was because of the amulets the whole thing was happening. But you must know you can’t escape fate.
So like that, Tom, wrapped in clothes to avoid boils had started towards the toilet on the last day of school before it shuts up for hot. The school looked very barren with ginger muggy wind belting continuously.
If this doesn’t stop, Omegan fields will turn into a desert in three months. Tom had memorized his ways, so now worries and also his roommates were cramming and he didn’t want to disrupt them.
Tom walked towards a door, having a weird symbol, with something weird in its corners and writings in the middle, which Tom never knew. Who’d have made something so bogus like this?
But Tom was blind so he went through it easily. Pressing the hot door, Tom went inside.
Now you’ll know why someone would like to make a cross sign in a plain, simple toilet which doesn’t seem as simple from inside.
On the crumpled walls were written miserable words ‘Give me Food and water....’ ‘‘Help me Dad’ ‘I can’t bear this hunger…’ and something very distressing which made Tom’s heart pound. The toilet had an awful smell and it seemed like someone was tapping on the white walls, grubby with fine red blood.
Tom could smell blood but not the letters and gulped and turned numbly to move out. But somehow, unbelievably, the door was shut from outside. Madly, Tom pounded over the door, but nothing happened. Will Tom be trapped forever?
A very sharp, like lots of mouse squeaking and bitter voice rung in Tom’s ears. Even in this hot climate, somehow Tom was feeling frozen as chilly winds whipped faster through Tom’s paralyzed body. He had sensed someone on the bathroom.
“Tommy…”
The voice knew his name!
“Tommy…”
Tom jerked to look around. . Was his own head speaking to him? Intrepidly, Tom asked “Who are you?”
“Johnny …Tommy… just Johnny… son of the Evans once... and then of Lord R…”
“….Lo-lord R?” Tom was shivering as the voice roared.
“LORD R! We all know he’s Lord Ruby! But I’m a spirit who doesn’t fear him! “The voice’s words sounded tough.
“You’re a spirit?”
“Yes…”
“Who’s he, Lord Ruby?”
“HE?” The voice laughed wholeheartedly. “ He’s the worlds most vice man of no good but one is more venomous than him… and the six of them have a boon to live for 500 centuries… Lord R thinks he’s the master of all because of his powers…Tommy…his appearance could make you shudder…and he neither understands love nor goodness at all…and unfortunately I was his stupid son…he killed me with his own hands.”
“Why?”
“ I had started to stop him…he couldn’t bear his own son to fight for goodness…he waited for every opportunity to find me…and at last in this place he shut me….and used his powers to the whole school to forget that there was a boy here…in the sixth grades…they forgot me…Johnny…and I was trapped here…and after the principal Michael…Sir Tinetin took over and made a cross sign on the door so that no one comes here since this place is evil…evil and sinful where a boy of sixteen was killed without any food or water. “
Tom marveled at the walls from where the sound came to be. “Do you know about the amulets?” Tom asked suddenly “I can’t bear this hot or do anyone…I want to save the school from this havoc...”
“Yes… I know “The voice answered “I can give it to you ….for just one word…”
“What?”
“You’ve to fight for my spirit….”
“Fight?”
“Fight and free the world from this wicked sorcerers forever! You need to free my everlasting spirit…my soul wants to be free. Free…free…free…”
“But…” Tom muttered his eyes fixed on the walls and his head swirling.
“If you want to save your world and my world too… you’ve to promise me…that you’ll fight for me…from my side to finish off that sorcerer…you have to…and I’ll let you leave this vice place”
‘Anything’ Tom muttered in his mind and slowly, softly he whispered “Yes I’ll do it for you… But where will I find R?”
“He’ll come for you... anytime Tommy… Goodbye…Goodbye...the Viditor….”
Tom wanted to ask about the Amulet, how the spirit knew his name and the meaning of Viditor but the spirit had gone since there was a crack and the voice stopped.
And Tom sensed something else again.
Suddenly, a mouth like thing wide opened on the walls, and a blond round thing was pushed from it. Tom ran to pick it up.
The Amulet of Sun! A sunny glow peering from it and a brown chain over it and in the front was written, well choose shiny words; The Amulet of Sun.
To stop the warm weather’ which glowed as Tom touched it, and in a second Tom knew it was the Amulet of Sun to stop the bad weather.
Tom tore his blind eyes from it and ran to open the door. It’s opening. The spirit kept his words.
And Tom will have to keep his promise on defeating R.
Tom peeked to see if anyone was there. The hot climate had given up and the weather was returning normal, and everything will be okay! But those words about Lord R? Is he really there for a blind like Tom?
Bruce and Candy were really energized for what Tom did. But none was wondering about how Tom would face Lord Ruby.
The school assumed that the bad weather just gave up but when Sir Tinetin returned he had a grave remark upon his noteworthy face, and no more holidays of course.
Tom slept that night miserably, contemplating about Lord Ruby. Johnny said he’s the fiercest Evil Sorcerer of Eric and Johnny was his son…. Lord R is mega powerful and the most apprehension was that he can come for Tom, anytime, anywhere ready to put Tom in the death. But he has promised Johnny to fight for Johnny…the cursed soul…who was indirectly killed by his pitiless and malevolent father...Lord Ruby….
LORD RUBY…LORD RUBY…and others…
Tom kept his ears tuned in to hear. He could hear the words screaming in the chilly night air. Shivering, Tom turned to sleep in his storeroom, hearing Katie quarrel with Beautix.
Today might be vice and appalling but let tomorrow be chaste and noble as usual, was the desire of Tom’s heart. Harry and Belle were not even found. Everyone thinks they’re lost forever.

“Well….as you see this is the map of Eric. And you’re to study it carefully. “Sir Blake said loudly. “ For tomorrow”
The class began to retire from the classes happily and Tom and Bruce glazed around the mountain. The Mountain blizzard was over.
“Remember about the third amulet of ice? I wonder where it. The third might be in the most soaring place,
Hidden and buried in the ice,” Bruce said “All I know is it’s here in the mountains. If we don’t find it, the ice of all the mountains in the world will start melting I think. We need to find the first Amulet too, Tom.”
“More bad. We won’t survive this way” Said Tom feeling cold.
“I wonder if we could see Pearl, the giant who delivered you the letter. He’s sort of eccentric too.”
Tom sighed and flashed his eyes upwards. “Tomorrow’s something...”
Bruce looked into Tom’s face “Tomorrow…..umm….yea…I remember!”
“Tomorrow’s Wednesday” Bruce completed.
“No. I mean tomorrow’s something very important…We’re forgetting…. Someone’s birthday….Candy told us in Plant Class…”
“Liam’s? Brownie? Not Gaylord or that grisly Katie?” Bruce kept on guessing “Candy, not yours or mine? Eh?”
“Yea! Blanche’s birthday!” Tom barked.
“Candy and Liam were thinking of a party in the room 123” He added.
“Go on… Party in the rooms….doesn’t sound so gibberish …we can ask Candy and that girl named Elsa for food they’re good cook… We can decorate the room 123…”
“Splendid!” Tom roared gleefully. “But remember to keep it top secret. Let’s inform others about this… I’ll make some inventions for Blanche's gift…”
Blanche gazed at the calendar uncertainly. She looked 25 times but the date’s not changing. There’s a red mark on today’s date saying; Blanche’s Birthday’.
However her friends did not seem like remembering it at all. She hasn’t even got a card except her parent’s and a gift from them. What’re the others doing? Not even have wished her. Hastily, the room door swayed and a keen, slim and tall boy entered. His untidy hairs told at once he is Liam.
“Hey Liam do you r-e” No, Blanche’s not going to tell that. Never and never. Liam‘ll say himself.
“I wished today was Monday but unfortunately Sunday.” She said.
“Yup“She said stridently instead, again.
“Actually, Miss Penny’s calling you over on room 123. Come quickly with me.”
“Why? Why in someone else’s room?” Blanche asked curiously.
“No. She is giving projects to us” Liam uttered cautiously. Blanche followed Liam suspiciously. Miss Penny giving out Projects? But she already gave. Has Liam lied? The room 123 in the left was still very dark even it was day. The sun’s light couldn’t enter in to the room. The room was quite wide and Blanche could feel chairs and tables. But the light’s turned off. Is Miss Penny really here? “I can’t see a thing. Liam!” She stammered “W-Where a-are you?” The lights flashed and the darkness faded. Blanche stared around unbelievably. “Happy Birthday, Blanche!
”On the left dark cave wall was a large white ribbon hung on which was written the shiny words well chosen. The walls were designed with Blanches’ favorite color blue and there were stars and balloons honing from each wall. On the large table in front were big chocolate cakes, Spring rolls, Hamburgers, Hummus with meat, soft drinks and chips and ice- creams with chocolate and bits of Chocó chips and the large candle in the cake with ‘ 11’ gave Blanche a tremendous shock, a shock of gladness she never had.
There were five gifts in blue starry wrappings and she was surrounded by her dear friends, Tom, Bruce, a girl named Elsa, Candy and Liam, beaming at her. Tom had invented two green stones for Blanche who can make you fly when you rub them, Bruce had got a large box of crispy treats, Liam had got a yellow jumper, Candy a good party dress and Elsa named girl made the food.

“T-Thank you, my f-friends…”
