5. Shivaay’s Blessing

After quickly writing his ticket no. and name he put his hand on the surface of the silver crystal.

For few seconds nothing happened, but suddenly the crystal became dark blue and then a silver electric current could be seen in the crystal.

The old man looked at the crystal astonishingly as he had not expected it.

The dark blue combined with the silver lightning entered his body passing through is hands to every part of the body. Shivaay was suffering from extreme pain, he wanted to put away his hand from the crystal but his body won’t listen as if his body was extremely hungry and the lighting was its meal.

As a boy who practiced sword for 5 years, he knew he had to persist or he would never wake up again.

Outside was a mess, clouds were covering the entire sky above the temple with lightning in interval. All high levels could feel dense chakra energy gathering above the temple. This was the phenomenon when blessed by a high-level god.

In a nearby hill, a boy was watching the same scenario. His hair was golden with a sharp face and blue eyes. He was wearing a white suit with golden design on the sleeve. He looked like a 13-year-old but maturity could be seen reflecting in his eyes.

“Sis, it looks like someone is really talented” the boy spoke.

His sister having the same facial feature but was relatively much older than him was looking at him with sad expression.

“Don’t be sad brother we still have the outlaw temple, I am sure you will receive your blessing there”

“Outlaw temple, what are you saying I got rejected even by heavenly temple. How low you want me to stoop down? And where will we find an outlaw temple all the temples were already discovered or hidden deeply”

“Still”

“I think we should start accepting our faith, I don’t have anymore strength left. Sis, sorry”. Saying this the boy jumped perfectly landing on the ground.

No, I will not surrender myself to faith. I have to find a way, maybe someone can help me. The young girl looked towards the faraway heavenly temple.

The ceremony ended and the outside turned into normal. Shivaay could be seen breathing heavily kneeling on the ground.

“Congratulations son, you have got something even the old man like me would envy. After resting for 5 min, you can leave...there are lots of people left” The old man said and continued reading his book.

Shivaay knew from which god he got his blessing, as image of the deity appeared in his life wheel while he was suffering from pain. While others could only tell from the energy he was emitting that he received blessing from a high-level god. Only he knew he got blessing from Lord Indra- the king of heaven and the controller of rain and thunder. That was the sole reason for the outside events.

He was excited, he got blessed by a god ranked among top ten in high-gods. Shivaay also knew he was not the sole individual who received blessing from a high-god, others might also be there. But only one or two appears every decade in the Vulture empire and the last one to appear in the Vulture empire was the crown prince nearly a decade ago. And they are the sole pillars of the empire, so every empire takes care of them.

One or two every decade, Shivaay nearly shouted from excitement and almost released his chakra. He wanted to see what colour it would be but forbade himself from doing so as it was forbidden in the temple and could be regarded as an act of crime.

He slowly moved up started to leave though the front door of the room. He just wants to go out and try his powers show it to his parents and beat the shit out of his uncle but for that he had a long way to go.
