The Unstoppable Warlock

Unexpected Discovery

A series of events ran through Lucas's head and a new scene was displayed. The scene showed two huge fit guys fighting. It looked like they were training in martial arts though, because their moves were not to cause harm to anyone. They wore large dark regalia and they were both sweating profusely. Lucas was seen at one corner watching the guys but he was confused.

" Watch carefully and learn, for the time has come for you to know your roots," A middle-aged woman said, approaching Lucas. The woman looked beautiful and she wore a beautiful smile on her face. Lucas checked her very well, but she didn't look like someone he had met in his entire life. 

" Watch and learn? My root? I'm confused ma'am. And if I may ask, who are you?", Lucas asked the woman.

" Yes, Lucas. You are the heir to our great kingdom and you are chosen by the gods to take revenge on our lost one and to bring back our kind from hiding. You are gifted and you are to lead the kingdom." The woman said as she dragged Lucas's arm closer to the two guys.

" Look carefully Lucas, you will see them often and they will lead you through the stages involved in Martial arts. They are your chosen masters. You are a descendant of a great martial art warlord. Your life was spared for this mission you are to embark on", she said.

Lucas felt blood run into his head and he felt a sudden headache. He gasped heavily, then he opened his eyes. Everything that happened felt like a dream to him. He was still feeling the headache, to the extent that he had to hold his head with his two hands, wailing in pain. After a while, the pain subsided and he began to get better.

"What the heck just happened to me? Have I started hallucinating? Or have the beatings affected my brain? He wondered.

He was more confused as he checked all over his body. There were no traces of blood nor wounds on his body, everything had been healed. 

" Oh my goodness! I have no wound and I no longer feel any pain. This is not a dream" Lucas said to no one in particular, checking all over his body.

"Argh!" He shouted as he felt a shift in his entire body. He felt stronger. He folded his arms and loosened it. He stretched his legs and tried some martial arts moves. He was surprised he could remember the martial arts he was taught. He was shocked all the knowledge of the martial arts was still intact in his brain

" This is not a dream. Am I an heir to a kingdom? Am I a descendant of a warlord? Wait a minute", Lucas stopped as he found that it was almost morning now. He couldn't stay here much longer as he remembered he had to divorce his wife in court this morning. He dusted his clothes and then left the scene immediately.

After Lucas left the fight scene, the girl came back with several men in black. She was worried about the guy that saved him last night. She couldn't get help immediately because she arrived home late. 

 She was perplexed when she found no one at the scene. She only saw traces of blood on the ground. She dreaded bad things could have happened.

" What could have happened? Has he been killed and dumped somewhere? Did he escape from the gangsters?" A series of questions ran through her mind.

Lilly turned to face the guys in black, "Search every corner of this surroundings and look for him. If you can't see him close to this area, then you have to brush the whole city for the guy. I have described how he looked to you guys.  We must find him coz he is my savior" she ordered

"Yes Boss!!!", the men in Black chorused and began the search at once.

Looking haggard and tired, Lucas arrived at the divorce center. He trekked a long way and was tired.

 He pushed open the gate to the court, he walked a little while to the entrance; as he walked into the court, his wife, Elena sighted him. 

" Why are you just coming here? Didn't I warn you to come early? I need to divorce you as soon as possible. And look at the shabby clothes you are putting on. Did you even take a bath at all?

"Oh, wait a minute, do you think your lateness will change my mind? You failed. This ship has been sailed already, so get your miserable self over here, and let's get this done ", Elena scolded him.

Lucas didn't utter any words to his wife. Well, she would soon be his ex-wife, so a huge burden would be lifted off his body. He just figured out what kind of person she was, so the best thing was to leave her instantly.

He looked pitifully at his wife, "The feeling is mutual dear. You are right. I will never try to hold you back, so let's get this sham of a marriage dissolved."

As they tried to move inside the court, a rich man who dressed elegantly arrived. He was Alex Robinson, the lover of his wife and the man she was planning to get married to. 

He parked his elegant car, very close to where Elena and Lucas were chatting. He stepped down majestically, adjusting his tie with pride. He walked towards them, focusing on his lover, Elena. He was smiling but his happiness was cut short when he saw the person beside her.

As soon as he sighted Lucas' shabby clothes, he started laughing.

"I can now see the reason Elena decided to call you her servant instead of regarding you as her husband. You have no shame, man? And no woman in her right senses will want to stay with someone like you." Alex mocked Lucas.

" And it will be good if you can get yourself together. Go and get a life, you looser", He added.

" Thanks a lot for the advice man, I will do as you have just said.  So if there is no more contribution, can we move inside and get this thing over with", Lucas replied unbothered by Alex's mockery.

Alex was furious, he wanted the passer-by to hear them, so he began to raise his voice. He wasn't content with the way Lucas retorted. He wanted to shame him till he lost his self-esteem.

"I'll be having your savings. It can't even buy me a complete set of jewelry but I will manage that since that's the only thing you have gotten. That will be my compensation for wasting my precious time" Elena requested.

Lucas didn't bother to reply to her.  It was his last hope but dragging the money with Elena will make him more of a fool.

"I can't believe you have gone through so much while living with this nincompoop! You must have gone through a lot"  Alex mumbled, trying to show affection.

"Hey!  Didn't you take your bath before coming? I just noticed that you're smelling. You can't even change your clothes, is that how poor you are?" He mocked Lucas.

"Oh, I guess you slept on the street, coz it's apparent. Gosh! I can't believe you are smelling this bad" he added, covering his nose with two of his fingers.

His voice was so loud, to the extent that he was attracting some audience. Lucas knew he did that on purpose since he had already mocked him before but the people weren't much then.

"Oh, what a poor man. He is even smelling"

"I can't believe they allowed this madman to enter this place"

"His clothes are dirty and he may be hungry. What a pity"

Those were the comments coming from the passer-by.

Lucas stood still, not knowing what to do while Alex smirked at him in satisfaction.
