As it begins.
Alexander short form Exa , was a little boy in a little town called Hobbit, staying with his family of seven.
There was his father, his mother, his two brothers ,his two sisters and him.
The town of Hobbit was a town with little resources, everyone was of the same status, struggling to make ends meet.
Exa's mother was a trader and his father was a handyman, together they tried to meet up with their needs, and take care of their kids,Exa and his siblings like other kids in the town tried assisting their parents the way they could.
Exa thought "as the first child of my parents I have to live up to expectations,be a role model for my siblings even at the cost of losing socialization with my peers " " that is a great responsibility for a senior "thought Exa.
"Exa is anything the matter" asked Exa's second brother Lucian.
Lucian was the second son of their parents after Exa followed by Oregon the third son of their parents followed by their first sister Julia followed by their youngest sister Lisa.
Lucian was not really concerned about Exa's thought,he was only concerned about the chores they were sent to do, Exa sensed this and quickly returned to the work , while the three brothers worked inside,Lisa and Julia were outside playing when their parents came back soon after Exa, Lucian and Oregon were done with the work.
They were leaving the house, when Mrs Seville saw them she asked "are you done with your work", " yes we are"Lucian answered quickly Mrs Seville obviously did not want them to leave the house"go to your room, and get something to read "she said almost smiling even though Exa and his brothers grumbled they still left to their room and started reading.
When they were little, their parents always told them that the true secret to power was wisdom, knowledge and influence,Exa always listened carefully as if the he was the subject of the discussion.
Exa knew that to be powerful he had to acquire knowledge because,the wise were always feared and reverenced .
By the time Exa was done reading,he started thinking about Hobbit "it's said every where that Hobbit is a town with little resources, but it's all because it has not yet been discovered,if we discover the resources Hobbit has we can use it to build armies,sow crops and do many other things "with this in mind Exa went to bed,and when his father returned they all went to bed ,in the middle of the night Exa had a dream he did not quite understand.
The next morning Exa wakes up and goes downstairs to begin his morning chores "WOW! what's this"said Exa, he found a collection of books,he picked up the first book and looked at the front cover,he saw BUSINESS MANAGEMENT: How to calculate profit and,lose Exa opened the book and started reading, finally after some few minutes of reading, the door creaked open and Mr Seville walked in "Exa"he begins "are you done with your chores"Exa looks up and answers "no but while cleaning up,i saw this book and i decided to read it"Mr Seville looks at Exa"i know that you love reading Exa ,"but you know there is a time for everything Exa,you got to use your time wisely, and this is the time you are meant to use to clean up the house, okay "Exa drops down the book and continues cleaning the house.
When Exa was done cleaning up, he went outside to meet his father when he got there,"dad why did you stop me from reading, you always say we should read and acquire knowledge"Mr Seville looks up at Exa"don't you understand Alexander you shouldn't mix up time, like i said before there is a time for everything, try to understand Alexander "
Exa walks away heading back to read the book.
One day as Exa woke up,he heard some one calling his name Alexander, Alexander the voice rang Alexander, Alexander the voice rang again then Exa notices it was his father calling,he jumped off the bed and zooms out of the house to go see why Mr Seville was calling him. When he gets to the pond he sees his father fishing, while Julia and Lisa watched from a distance.
"Where is Oregon and Lucian"asked Exa Mr Seville looks up trying to remember "oh yes, i remember i sent them on an errand"answered Mr Seville"as if i care "whispers Exa to himself"you called me dad "says Exa out loud,"oh my boy i need you to help me hold the line "says Mr Seville stretching out the rod to Exa"steady, steady "he said before going inside"i will be back in a minute ",Exa kept staring at his reflection in the water, where suddenly"we are back dad "said a voice from behind him Exa woke up from his day dream,he turned to see Oregon and Lucian standing right behind him "so what is the important errand dad sent you on"he asked with a smile, Lucian hid the little bag behind himself,"so what is your business asked Oregon rather jokingly.
"where's the bag" asked Mr Seville,"here it is answers Lucian stretching out the bag in his hands. Mr Seville opened the bag picked out some coins and gives them to Lucian "share it with your brother Oregon"says Mr Seville.
"what about me dad "askes Alexander ,Mr Seville looks at Exa "don't worry my boy, you will get yours too"he says,Exa smiles.
"haven't you caught any yet"askes Mr Seville "no dad"answers Alexander "seems the fishes are becoming smart"he says,"okay then,we will leave for the river by evening for we are not going to catch any fish here"says Mr Seville tiredly as he walked into the house "hey Exa we will come with you to the river"shouted Julia "no you'll stay at home and help mum.
Exa carried the fishing equipments into the house, before he did his chores, and when finally Exa was done with his chores he went to the collection of books and continues reading.
Before it was evening Exa asked his parents that he wants to go to the town library"mom,dad"he says a little bit nervous "i want to go to the town library" Mr Seville says"sure Alexander, just don't be late " he thanks them and leaves for the library, as Exa walks through the market to the town library"hi Exa"says a friend "hi"he says as he waves back.
He enters the library as he walks through the high shelves he stumbles "WHOO"he said as he hits the shelf, as he did that a book fell off the shelf on the front cover it was written boldly,"DARK MAGIC " Exa read. He picked up the book he took it to a table and started reading quietly.
Exa was so into reading the book that he didn't know when dark came,he raised his head and looks out the window, and he found out it was already dark,"oh no I'm late,dad will be so mad at me"he picked up the book ran to the man who let him in "ummm sir i want to take the book home can i"asked Exa "yeah sure but you will have to fill this form"he said Exa hastily took the form and filled it then he went home.
A Exa was heading home he saw a boy named James, James was a rude boy from a family not rich but higher in status than Exa's family, as Exa passed "hey you church rat"shouted James while laughing, Exa stops his anger rising but when he remembered that he was already in trouble, he didn't want to get into more as he continues walking "i don't know if you guys are cursed or something, you, your siblings, and your bastard parents are the most poorest people that i have ever seen in my life "Exa stops"you can mock me i don't care but how dare you call my parents bastards" with this he ran towards James about to punch him when people around held him and calmed him down then they made James apologize to Alexander .
Exa picks his book and went home, when he gets back as he enters his mother hug him.
Alexander went towards Mr Seville seat,sat down and started explaining "dad i am so.....Mr Seville interrupted him saying"i thought we had an agreement that if i let you go, you will be back here early? "and that is exactly what i want to explain"said Exa "okay go on" "dad when i got there and started reading,the book was so interesting i didn't know when dark came when i found out i left immediately,on my way home, James started calling us names he called you both bastards i would've fought with him if not people around held me " "after listening to everything Alexander just said i have decided not to say anything " with this said Mr Seville went to bed.
Exa took the book into his room, and kept reading,he read all through the night, and by morning he was extremely tired,he kept sleeping while others where working outside, Lucian noticed his disappearance, went to Mr Seville and told him "dad Exa has been inside since the breaking of dawn,he haven't come outside,"Mr Seville went to Exa's room and he found him on his bed still sleeping.
Mr Seville saw the book on the bed,"Exa told me that he took a book but he did not tell me what type of book it was"thought Mr Seville as he picked up the book and looked at the front cover the book fell right off his hand hitting the ground which made a loud noise which woke up Exa seeing his father standing still that way and seeing the book of dark magic on the ground Exa stretches his hand to pick up the book but his father held his hand "so Exa this is the book that you have been reading,this is the book that made you come home late yesterday,this is the book that made you to still be sleeping by this time,Exa you are reading about dark magic Exa you know what i am going to burn this book "with that said Mr Seville took the book about to throw the it into the fire when"dad please do not burn the book i took it from the library,i did not buy the book dad,if you burn the book dad when the library start asking for their book what do you want me to tell them "Mr Seville stopped"please dad give me the book i promise i will return the book today to the library "Mr Seville gave the book to him and"don't make me regret this Alexander do you hear me "says Mr Seville as he walks away.
Exa keeps the book on his table and goes out to do his chores as he was doing his "is it true that you read a spell book ?, did you learn any spell"Exa looks at her "that's a yes"said Julia"now with one of those spells you have learned can you turn this stone into candy"Exa looks at her again"i know that is a ye....... interrupted Exa saying "you know what Julia,just go take a seat"Julia looks at Exa "Exa there is no seat here or are you going to use your magic to make one?" "go inside and sit down in the parlour and read your book" "okay "says Julia as she went to the house .
when finally Exa is finished doing his chores he proceeds to get dressed and head for the library to return the book,Exa was in such a bad mood that he didn't answer his friends"Exa" "hey Alexander why are you not talking to me,did i get you angry i am sorry if i did ".
When he gets there he walks to the man that gave him the form and gives him the book.
