I AM AN ATHEIST

Aura

Xavier found himself in an unknown room, the room was made up of bricks, the floor had tiles, there were three windows on the sidewall.

There were a tea table and a bed, the table was next to the bed, and the bed was surrounded by two walls, one was to its left, other was at its back.

Also, a chair was placed near to the tea table, the room had an attached bathroom and an attached kitchen.

" Dargon112, wait here, I am going to bring the tea ."

Mona said as she rushed into the kitchen to make the tea.

Xavier found this room to be quite beautiful, it was much better than the room that he was staying in.

To be frank, he was envious of the treatment that disciples get, there was even a kitchen here, while his dwelling had none.

Xavier had to build a kitchen outside the home himself, it was not modern with stoves and gas, but a primitive one, he used mud to build a kitchen with circular small walls, the wood should be burned inside the walls and utensils should be placed on the walls to make it work.

The major problem of this kitchen was the limitation of wood and the smoke that it releases out.

it consumes a high amount of wood, so a constant supply of wood was needed. As a result, Molu had to go out of the Gurukul to bring the wood often.

Putting his thoughts about the kitchen aside, Xavier walked towards the three windows, he looked outside through one of the windows.

After seeing all the familiar and identical buildings down there, he knew where he was, he was currently on of the top floors of the Guruschool, and which floor he did not know either.

While Xavier was still looking outside, Mona brought a kettle and two cups and placed them on the table.

" Dragon112, the tea is ready "

Mona called out as she sat on the bed leaving the chair empty.

Understanding her kind intentions,

Xavier did not decline, he went ahead and sat on the chair which was opposite to her.

" Dragon112, have a taste of my tea and tell me how is it?"

Mona asked as she opened her eyes wide and looked eagerly at the cup in the hands of Xavier.

Seeing how eager she was, some doubts were raised in Xavier's head.

Something is wrong, I must not drink it first, Xavier thought.

Coordinating his thoughts with his mouth, Xavier said: " sorry Instructor, because of my status I can not do it, it would be rude of me if I take the first sip first in front of you "

" No, no, I don't mind such petty things, have a drink "

Mona insisted.

Xavier did not know what should he do, forcing himself, he lifted the cup, and brought it near to his mouth.

But stopped the action as soon as he observed Mona was glaring at the cup from under her veil, she looked to be too eager and it only increased his doubts.

" I can't do it"

Xavier yelled as he put the cup down on the table, he decided not to take the risk.

However, Mona seemed to be enraged by his action, she emitted an oppressive pressure on Xavier.

The pressure made Xavier not be able to breathe, his body felt heavy, it was somewhat similar to the pressure he faced from the Guru, but it was not as strong as that one.

" You dumb prince, there is nothing wrong with it, drink it"

She said before calling back the pressure.

Xavier who was suffocating finally breathed again, he gulped down the tea immediately without having another second thought.

" Hot, hot."

" Water, water"

Xavier cried out as soon as his lips touched the tea.

" you dumb prince, who told you to gulp it down? ".

Mona lectured as she stood up and went into the kitchen and came back while carrying a glass full of water.

Without delaying, Xavier ran towards her, forgetting who she was, he grabbed the glass of water from her hand and drank it in a single swoop.

Finally, Xavier felt a little relieved from the burn he felt and said: " thanks".

" You dumb prince, you are still the same, you haven't changed at all "

Mona said while removing her veil.

When the veil was completely removed, Mona's face revealed in front of Xavier, of course, she was beautiful but that was not it, Xavier lost in his thoughts, he felt as if he had seen her somewhere.

He tried to recall but he could not, but he had a strong feeling that he knew her.

" Don't you recognize me? Did you forget me after spending your time with the women in the brothel ?"

Mona questioned while keeping her eyes on his face, she was observing him closely and waiting for the answer.

Hearing no reply from Xavier for a few minutes, Mona got disappointed and said: " when you were small, you used to follow me calling me big sister wherever I went, we used to play home together, you used to be the wife and I used to be the husband "

After listening to her exploration, a scene from his childhood kicked into his mind.

" You...you are...."

" you are chief general's....."

Before Xavier could complete his sentence he heard: " Yes, I am his sister, the same sister whom you used to play with, when you were small".

After revealing her identity Mona wanted to see his shocked face, but she was faced with another disappointment as Xavier just replied: "oh.."

" Oh..my ass, you? What happened to you? Why can not you talk normally? "

Mona yelled.

" My bad, my bad, I was just thinking of something"

Xavier replied as he remembered Faiza when the brothel was mentioned.

" I know you were thinking about those women from the brothel, don't you?"

Mona yelled.

" Instructor, it is not like you are thinking "

Xavier tried to persuade.

" Instructor? I am not your instructor right now, call me big sister"

Mona yelled as she walked towards the bed, after sitting on it she said: " you said that you are going to explain, I am willing to listen"

Xavier also walked back and took his chest on the chair, then he explained everything regarding the brothel in detail.

" So you wanna be the hero of women, haha a"

" You are too naive prince"

Hearing her laugher, Xavier retaliated: " No, I just wanted to save them, I never wanted to be a hero"

"Forget it, let's go back to the real business, don't you want to know about the cravings?"

Mona said while her smiling face turned serious.

" Yes, I want to " Xavier earnestly want to know the reason.

Most importantly, he wanted to know what that golden colour that was emitted out from his body was.

" Then listen closely, it is a story from 300 years ago, the blessed ones of various gods and goddess raised in number all of a sudden giving raise to high ambitions of cathedrals, the bishops of each cathedral went to the war with other cathedrals, the whole world was engulfed in wars, the poor and the weak died because of hunger, taking this chance people who were suppressing their criminal mind opened up, as result, the crime rate skyrocketed, and most of the crimes were made in the name of righteousness, the women were r***d, the organs of men were sold, the chaos was spread everywhere.

Among them, a victim of this chaos who lost his family to it formed a firm determination to stop it, he researched various ways to stop it, finally, he found the most suitable way, that is to bring the balance of power, the blessed ones were responsible for this chaos, they must be kept in check to stop it.

A new type of power was needed which can rival the abilities of blessed ones, this man engulfed himself in research, he dug various ancient graves for his research as he believed that the solution lies in history.

Everyone assumed that he would fail after having seen no result for 50 years, but contradictory to everyone's expectation, he found the solution in his death bed.

He knew he could no longer eligible to use it, so he passed the solution down to his only disciple.

This disciple turned out to be a genius, he improved the solution and found a way to unlock the hidden potential inside us.

This potential came to be known as Aura, and this disciple became the first Guru and founded Gurukul to make his master's wish come true.

In the next few years the Gurukul produced many people who could use Aura, they were eventually known as Aura Masters.

Finally, a balance was made between the cathedral and the secular world with the help of Aura Masters who were no way inferior to the blessed ones putting an end to the chaos"

Mona took a pause then continued:

" The story ended, but the Gurukul and the next generation of Guru were not, yes what you unlocked was Aura"

"Aura's colour usually would be milky white but yours was golden, I don't know the reason"

" A great power comes with a great side effect, yes the power you unlocked was Aura and the side effect was unbearable desire to crush and beat someone"

" The Aura's density and volume tells an Aura master's level and power "

" The higher the level of the Aura Master, the greater the cravings one would face"

" But don't ever give in to these craving completely, you should be rational all the time"

" If you blindly give in to these cravings, you would go berserk and gradually turn into a furious ape "

Mona advised along explaining the things about the Aura.

" why ape? " Xavier who was silent till now questioned.

" Because it had something to do with the Aura, the Guru says that humans were furious apes once, they battled every species they found as they ruled over the planet, back then the apes were too strong, even the gods were afraid of them ".

" The aura is a simple way to unlock the power that once wielded by our ancestors, so we turn into furious apes if we lose our rationality to cravings of the battle"

" All this information comes from the Guru, I don't know how much it is true"

Mona finally concluded her long speech.

Xavier finally knew the answer to the unknown battle cravings he had, at the same time some new doubts raised in his mind because what he heard from Mona was that Aura's colour was usually white but he was gold.

" At least it would take six months to unlock the Aura for even a genius trainee, but you did it the second day "

Mona said.

" For your safety, I will be keeping it as secret, the Gurukul is not safe either"

" So don't reveal it to anyone else"

Mona warned him with a serious look on her face.

Xavier took it seriously, he did not dare to neglect this warning, but he understood one more thing that she only knew that he unlocked the aura and its colour, however, he wondered how she recognized the colour when it was very faint and barely visible.

Finally, Xavier wanted to ask something that's bothering him for a while.

" How is Faiza? ".
