Children were sitting in their classroom. Kael's benchmate looked at him and asked,
"Did you fill your details?"
Kael replied with a small smile,
"Yeah, sure."
After a few moments, the teacher entered the class and started taking attendance. When she finished, she looked at the students and asked,
"Did all of you get your forms back?"
All the students replied together,
"Yes, ma'am!"
She collected the papers and suddenly asked the class,
"Can anyone tell me what happened in the year 2035?"
One child raised his hand and said,
"Ma'am, my father told me that in 2035 a very important contract was signed… but I forgot its title."
The teacher smiled and said,
"The world's biggest treaty."
"Yes! That one!" the child replied.
Kael tilted his head slightly and asked,
"Treaty…?"
The teacher chuckled softly.
"You don't know the story, boy? Don't worry. I will tell all of you."
The whole class became quiet.
"The story begins in 2028," the teacher started. "At that time, the world was full of conflict. Humans were fighting each other endlessly. People were thirsty for each other's blood and many dark rituals and black magic started appearing."
She paused for a moment.
"Because of those dark rituals, gates to the demon world were opened. Demons started entering Earth around 2031."
The children listened carefully.
"Some humans were so cruel that they even made contracts with demons to kill other humans they hated. Seeing this, the demons began to think that humans hated their own kind."
Her voice slowly became heavy.
"So the demons decided to invade humanity. Many cities were destroyed."
"During that time, the demons also heard a rumor that their first Demon Lord had disappeared and might be hiding somewhere on Earth."
Kael listened silently.
"Then a hero appeared," the teacher continued. "He was known by the title 'The Saviour.' He tried to protect humanity."
"But in the end… he lost."
The classroom became completely silent.
"He was alone… and the demons were nearly two hundred thousand."
The teacher's voice trembled slightly.
"They even used his family against him."
A few students looked shocked.
"In the end, the hero died."
She wiped her eyes lightly before continuing.
"People believed the world had reached its darkest age — Kalyug. Humans started praying desperately to the gods because they thought gods were their last hope."
"And finally… the gods appeared."
The children gasped.
"The gods removed the demons from Earth. After that, a treaty was signed between humans, demons, cursed souls and devils."
She wrote on the board.
"The Treaty of Peace."
"After that, humanity realized that gods, demons and devils truly exist."
"The world slowly became peaceful again. Humans also promised not to destroy the Earth like before. Because of that, development slowed down and nature started healing again."
The class stayed quiet for a moment.
Suddenly Kael stood up and asked,
"So… what exactly is Kalyug?"
The teacher looked at him and said,
"Sit down first, Kael."
He sat back on his seat.
"Kalyug is considered the darkest and longest age in our world's history. According to ancient belief, Earth goes through different eras."
She continued explaining.
"But don't worry. Right now, the world is peaceful."
Kael looked down at his desk.
He was slightly shocked.
He reached to his house and asked from dark smiler,
"Is that story real?"
And dark smiler nodded "That story was real and the cursed soul was me.
Kael shocked "Is that you? So why didn't you tell me this before?"
Dark smiler pause for a second.
"Wait! Wait! Can we change the topic because I don't know the full story , and listen I have not any interest in human and their blood."
Kael gasped "Okay, I understand."
Then Kael feeling sleepy " Okay! The cursed I want to sleep.
Dark smiler showing interest "The Cursed, It's my new name? Intresting."
Kael saying while half sleeping " Okay, Okay."
Kael slightly opening his eye and going outside his room towards the living room.
"Mom I am Wale up"
A lady listen to kael and slightly bend to her side and try to see the child.
" Your mom is on the rooftop, And your voice seems similar."
Kael peek from the door " Teacher! Good afternoon. At this time Kael is very nervous."
He managed himself and ask "Did I something wrong?"
Teacher chuckles softly "That's why you don't know about the Treaty."
Kael becomes confuse.
"Treaty…..?"
Dark smiler contact with Kael through telepathy "Kael! It seems you have a relationship with hero."
Kael shocked for few seconds
"Are you kidding?"
Kael hear sounds of footstep
Tap! Tap! Tap!.....
Kael's mother open the door and enter the room with a light smile.
"So Kael you already met your teacher."
Kael gasps "Yes mom"
Teacher turned her eye towards Kael and hold him and then hug him tightly.
"Kael why are you so much cute?"
Kael on his teacher's lap he try to rid from this by taping his small hands on it but he can't do that.
Then his mother become serious "Sister, Can you leave him?"
Teacher chuckles " Oh! I am really very sorry.... But that's not my fault."
Take a little pause normal her breath.
" See how much he cute. I can't resist…. "
Then Kael's teacher become serious " So that's the reason why you don't know about The Treaty."
Kael stare her for few seconds.
"Mam! What's the reason?"
Teacher try to normal her breath
"So Kael basically I am your mother's sister."
Dark Smiler laughed loudly but it can only hear by Kael due to Telepathy.
Haaa! Haaa! Haaa!....
"What's the shock?!!"
Kael's face become pale.
"Mam , I think you are lying to me or making fun of me….."
Teacher look at her and cross her hand while sitting on the sofa.
" And, What I get to make you fun?"
She pause for a second.
Hmmm…. Tell me Kael."
Kael even come out from shock he rush to the kitchen and try to drink water and while drinking water he has many thoughts.
"Is it really a truth?"
"Is teacher my aunt?"
"Why is my brain so puzzled right now?"
When he start drinking the water he start coughing.
"I.. I am sorry."
Kael's mother enter to the kitchen and paying Kael's shoulder.
"Are you okay son?"
Kael try to getting normal himself and asked "So mother what was the relation of the Treaty and both of you?"
Teacher come to the kitchen and pat the Kael's head " So you want to know."
Kael nodded with light smile "Yes Mam…"
Then teacher pick him " Listen Kael! If we are alone so call me Aunt and when we are in school then call me Mam. Okay?"
Kael become serious "Okay, But I am not used to it."
Teacher Chuckles "Alright, Can we continue?"
Kael look to his mother "I will listen.."
So they head back to living room and sit on Sofa.
Teacher crossed her arm and move heads toward the window to watch outdoor scenery.
" So listen that hero was your uncle and we were kidnapped by demons and then they were coming to kill us…."
Suddenly mother started crying.
Teacher become emotional.
"They try to kill us but God came and save us…"
Kael looking downward " Oh! I am sorry"
While he looking down he hear a familiar sound " Dark smiler?"
Dark Smiler start talking by telepathy " Oh! I know him basically his name was Arvind… You should ask them."
Kael become nervous but asked " So my uncle was Arvind?"
Teacher look surprise " How do you know that?"
Kael become nervous " Just my instincts."
Kael quietly looked at the floor.
"So the hero who saved the world… was my uncle."
