Journey Towards Truth

It's been almost 5 hours since they took off from the Himalaya nation.

Raj has a nice dream of enjoying his date with Sara and Om reading his book like mad man.

[In 20 minutes we will reach our destination, the sky continent] an announcement was announced.

Because of the announcement Raj woke up but I'm still busy with the book.

Suddenly, a lot of commotion was observed.

Raj noticed that everyone was looking outside from their windows.

outside of their aircraft thousands of aircraft going the same direction. The destination of all those aircrafts was the same. It was the day of the inheritance ceremony and all countries and influential people from throughout the world sent their candidates.

"Hey Om! I think this will be one heck of a spectacle." Raj, lost in the scene, said to Om.

Om took a glance outside and again started reading his book. For him it doesn't matter, reading is more important.

Raj felt insulted that a 14 year old boy didn't find the scene amazing and a man like him was amazed.

He looked around him. All others were behaving similarly to him. He exhaled with satisfaction. And looked at Om.

"I'm not the odd one, he is."

Almost after 20 minutes, their aircraft landed. Before leaving their seats, The principal of their school announced,

"Kids, we have finally landed on the sky continent. The W.I.A is located here also we are going to attend the ceremony outside the main building of W.I.A."

"Outside a volunteer will guide us and explain the procedure".

All formed a line in the lead of their Principal.

Outside many people similar to them were present. The whole parking lot was filled with crowds and the aircrafts.

Suddenly Raj realised Om was not there.

"What the hell. Where is this kid?"

Raj ran to the Principal, "Sir Om is missing."

"He was with you. You should know where he is."

"Yes He sat together in the plane." Raj explained and suddenly realised that Om didn't come out with him and is still inside.

"Wait! Wait! I know where he is."

Raj quickly went in the aircraft. Om was still busy reading his book. Raj with a twisted face slowly calls Om.

"Om, do you know we have already reached the Sky continent."

Om replied, "when?"

Raj loudly shouted at Om, "kid, quickly give me your book or I will burn it."

Both came outside and heard a familiar voice coming from where their class was.

Upon reaching there, both were shocked.

Bhanu was talking to their Principal.

Both Bhanu and the Principal turned towards kids.

"Kids, this is Mr Bhanu. He is from our nation and for today volunteered as our guide." explained the principal.

All greeted Bhanu, "hello Mr Bhanu."

Both Om and Raj looking at Bhanu, dumbfounded. On the hand, Bhanu smiled at them.

Raj asked Om, "so, he was here all the time."

Om replied, "you are right."

On their way to the destination, Principal asked

to bhanu, "Mr Bhanu, please explain the whole process of receiving inheritances."

Bhanu accepted and replied, "even if you didn't ask, it's my duty to explain the process to you."

"When we reach the headquarters, outside the whole ceremony is held."

"There we have to wait in the lobby area with other groups till the announcers call for us."

"During our turn, you all will stand surrounding the Monolith."

"An instructor will command you all to place your hand on the Monolith."

"Upon contact with it, you will receive the inheritance in the form of knowledge, attributes and Energy."

"But before that don't forget to eat your white fruits"

After that he asked them a question.

"Do any of you know that instead of using the monolith present in our nation like all the previous years, why are we here?"

Confidently, The Principal explained.

"It has been found out that the Monolith present here improves chances of receiving strong inheritances."

"Also soon all the Monoliths present in other countries will be taken into Custody by W.I.A."

"This means that now we have a better chance of having a strong inheritor."

Bhanu congratulated the principal for his answer.

"You are right sir."

Both laughed and moved on.

On their way, the main headquarters started to become visible. It's shape was like a volcano but made of metal and glass and a large flame erupting on top.

On its feet, the ceremony was held. Even from far the crowd was visible. It was almost noon. And teams one by one called for the distribution of fruits.

Soon the Himalaya nation was called. Bhanu gave the golden boxes containing fruits to all 50 kids.

Raj opened his bag and took out his own box of fruit.

Others like him also did the same.

"Kids, in an hour it is our turn. so please eat your fruits and take a good rest. When our turn is announced I will take you with me." Bhanu instructed them and left them with their principal.

All the kids opened the box, started eating.

As they ate the fruit. A small amount of white glow started to appear on their bodies.

On Om's side he felt an increasing surge of strength.

"Sara was right. I can feel my body becoming stronger."

While Raj felt so good that he started doing push-ups.

"With this much strength I can be unstoppable."

He looked at Om and boasted, "Om wanna bet with me. Let's see who can do 1000 push-ups first."

Now everyone understood why the price of fruit and its demand was so high.

Ronnie asked his principal, "sir what will happen if we eat another fruit."

The principal glared at him and explained, "even if you get the chance don't eat it. For the first time it is a medicine but after that it becomes poison for some and if it comes to worst case after eating fruit the second time it makes your body explode."

"You are kidding." Ronnie asked.

"No. Kid, I'm serious."

With the principal 's answer, all kids lost their excitement for a few seconds. Until they saw Raj doing push-ups.

All of them gathered around him and started cheering for him.
