6 more months later....
Las Vegas...
In a crowded bar, a beautiful girl was sitting in one corner all by herself. There were numerous empty beer bottles in front of her. She looked blankly at the crowd dancing to the latest beats. Though her life had fallen in place, she felt hollow. She was already shooting for a film in Las Vegas as the leading lady and was getting highly paid for it. She could support her aunt with that money too, who stayed at their home in New York
Tears dropped down her green eyes! She picked up a other bottle of beer and raised a toast! "Happy birthday my baby in heaven! Mumma loves you!"
"Ahh! Happy birthday from father"s side too!" A man"s voice came from the adjacant table.
Already knowing who it was, she peeked at her side and saw Davis sitting and looking at her cunningly. He followed her again? Will he ever spare me? He murdered my son and I can"t even do anything to him!
Tears dropped down from her eyes rapidly. His face was enough to scratch her freshly burried wounds.
"I just came here to tell you something. After our son died in severe pain, my men left his dead corpse in the west woods. His body must have been eaten by vultures. Perfect! Isn"t it?" He spoke the harsh words and left the bar, happily!
Elizabeth felt a terrible pain in her heart. She was in shock again! She felt as if their was no oxygen supply in the room and she was dying of asphyxiation. Suddenly everything blanked out...
Meanwhile....
Mystical Woods.
"Happy birthday to you!" Happy birthday dear Rhehan!" All the monks, Xio Lee and old teacher gathered around the cake, singing the birthday song. Xio Lee, would often go to the city for few days and would return buying various articles for Rhehan. It was his idea to celebrate his birthday!
The old teacher was happy but also worried! He could see Xio Lee"s growing fondness for Rhehan. He knew sooner or later they will have to send Rhehan back to the city.
He might want a proper family, once he grows up! They had saved his life but they had no right to keep him in secluded woods, devoiding him of any education or family. He had a path to follow, for which he needed to go back and struggle! Sending him to an orphanage was the best option.
Whereas Xio Lee was a different man. He naturally had keen interest in martial arts amd herbs. His field of study and education was also natural medicine. So, it was easy for him to juggle the city and jungle life.
Later that night.....
"Xio Lee, we need to send him back now."
"Huh!? Old teacher? Why are you saying that?"
"So that he can do, what he is destined to do."
"But...But....can"t he live here just like me!"
"You both have different paths. Your physical agility is your strength. You can come and go here, as you like. But it"s not possible for him. His power is his sharp mind. He needs to face the harsh world to develop it and eventually rule the world."
"I understand master." Xio Lee was almost on the verge of tears. He glanced at Rhehan, who was crawling towards the deep dark forest, happily.
"Don"t worry! He is a strong boy. You can keep a watch over him while in the city. But, just let him fight his own battles, alone."
"But master...He is too small...Can he stay just for a few more years? Till he can sustain himself? Maybe we can find his family too!"
The old master closed his eyes and pondered. He could sense danger and death!
"His struggles are inevitable. He will suffer more if he meets his family and his life can be in danger again."
"So you are saying that we should leave him alone?" Xio Lee was heartbroken.
The old teacher pondered again, thinking of a solution.
"Ok! You can keep him, but just for a few more years. He has a sharp mind, otherwise he will start to remember a few things and might not want to leave from here. But, he has to leave this place to help millions of people."
"I promise master. As soon as he starts to remember things, I will be the one to take him to the city."
Xio Lee was happy that he can spend few more years with Rhehan. But he was also sad! Thinking that when he will grow up, he will not remember him. He could only watch him struggle and trust his master"s intuition.
