The Book Volume One

Sunday morning, a few friends were sitting out on the lawn and having brunch. "The woods are not an easy place to be," said Sam. Henry replied, "What a difficult thing it can be." "I used to be in the army, and we have gone through it." "Ron is going to meet his son Cavil on his birthday," said Peter. "What's new in that, he goes to meet his son every Sunday," replied Henry. Pamela entered and said, "Stop complaining, Henry." Henry said, "Will you let me talk?" "You are going to eat that, or I should clear the table," said Pamela. "We're all done," Henry and the others declared.

Pamela, take the plates. Henry and Peter were helping her with dishes in the kitchen. While cleaning the dishes, Peter said, "Do you know Ron is getting a divorce and he wants his son to be with him?" Meanwhile, Henry takes a beer out of the fridge and says, "I know he does not have to do so, but his wife is not so cool." Peter said, "Anyway, we should leave this to him, and I should be going." "Martha is waiting for me at home." After the brunch was over, everybody left the house. Henry and Pamela were by themselves. Henry said, "Ron is a poor guy." "He has gone through a lot of things, and now he is fighting for his son's custody." Pamela said, "Mikela was a good girl when we were in college, but things got worse when Ron and Mikela married." At first, Ron was not able to give her time because of his tight schedule. "Yes, you are right, and after his promotion, he became the CEO of his company, but that made differences between them," said Henry. "I think you have had a lot of beer." You should probably go to sleep. "I will do the rest," said Pamela.

Monday morning Henry called Ron and said, "Will you come to my place in the evening?" Ron said, "I am taking a cab to Mikela's house to meet my son Cavil, and I am caught up in that." I will meet you some other day." Henry said, "Okay, no issues; we will work it out." "You carry on," he says and cuts the call. On the other side, Ron was in a taxi to go to Mikala's house. On reaching the door, Ron rang the bell, and Cavil opened the door. "How are you, son?" Ron inquired. Cavil replied, "Hey dad, I am good." "Where is your mother?" asked Ron. Cavil said, "She is out with her friends, and I am all alone." Ron inquired, "How have you been this week?" Cavil said, "I do not like it here, dad." "Please take me with you." Ron said, "Son, it will be a few more days." "I have appointed an attorney for your custody." Cavil said, "Just do it fast; I cannot take it anymore." "She brings friends with her, and I do not like the sight of that." Ron said, "I know, son, but laws are laws, and I will take you with me in just a few more months." "Still a few months. What are you doing, dad?" "I hate you; you're not taking this whole ordeal seriously," Cavil responds. And he goes back into his room, slams the door, and says, "Go back; I do not want to talk to you; I will figure it out on my own." After this, Ron takes his leave, Cavil is all by himself in the house, and Mikela is out with her friends.

Cavil calls his friend Cris and asks him for his bike. Cris said, "Come to my house in the evening, and I will give you the keys." Cavil says "ok" and cuts the call. In the evening, Cavil packs his bag, takes some money that he saved, and goes to Cris's house. He called Cris, "I am outside of your house; come down and give me the keys." Cris says, "Wait, I am coming." Do you want to eat something?” he asked. Cavil says, "Just come down real quick." "I have to go someplace." Cris says, "Okay," and cuts the call. Cris came down, and they both shook hands, and Cris said, "Where are you going?" Cavil said, "Just going out with a few friends." I will return your bike in a few days if that is fine. What are you up to, asks Cris. "I am sensing something fishy here." Cavil replied, "There is nothing fishy." "I'm going to my brother's house in the country and need your bike; can you lend it to me or will you make me take the train?" Cris said, "I am just kidding here." "Have the keys and try not to harm yourself." Cavil said, "Do not be smart; I can take care of myself," and left.

After riding the bike for 20 miles in the south, Cavil's bike tire deflated, and he was on the road in the middle of a forest, where he was alone. He tried to call his friend Cris, but his connectivity was poor. He was standing near his bike when a car passed by; he asked for help, but the car didn't stop. As was obvious, in a stranded location, who would stop the car for a teenager? People have a negative perception of places like this. Cavil, all alone, took out his cell phone, switched on the flashlight, left the bike behind the bushes, and started to walk toward the nearest town.

On the other hand, Mikela returned home late at night. She looked for Cavil in the whole house. But he was not there, so she called Ron. Mikela on the phone started shouting at Ron. She said, "Where in hell is my son?" "You came in the morning; what did you do with him?" Ron said, "Calm down, Why are you shouting? " "I can listen to you without shouting." She said, "Where is my son?" He said, "I do not know; I left in the morning; he was a bit upset, and then I left." Mikela said, "You better get me my son or I am calling the cops." He said. "Wait, let me ask his friend Cris, and then I will call you as soon as I get to know his whereabouts." She says, "You better find my son," and cuts the call.

Ron called Cris, The phone rang, and Cris answered, " Cris answered, "Hello, uncle, how are you? " "How come you called me in the middle of the night?" "Son, do you know where Cavil is?" "He isn't at his mother's house," Ron said. "Does he accompany you?" Cris replied, "Uncle, he came in the evening and took my bike and said he was going to meet his brother in the countryside." Ron said, "Did he tell you which brother he was visiting?" "Uncle "He didn't say much, and he was in a hurry," Cris said. Ron says, "Okay," and cuts the call.

Ron calls Mikela again and tells her that Cavil took Cris's bike and has escaped from the house, and he blames her for everything. Ron says, "You have been careless towards him; this all happened because of you, and now my only son escaped because of you." and hangs up the phone. And after that, Ron goes to the police station to file a missing person report for his lost son. He took a photo of Cavil and took a cab to the police station. On reaching the station, he met Detective James. Ron took out his son's photo and showed it to James and said, "Please help me find my son." He has escaped from his mother's house. He was suffering with our separation and took this step; he is just a kid; help me. James said, "Do not worry; I will send the photo to all the police stations, and we will start a search for him in the morning."

Cavil, after walking a mile in the woods, was tired and sat down under a tree. He was feeling hungry, and he opened his bag; he had money but no shop. "What a coincidence! I am hungry and have money, but there is no shop here!" he exclaimed. He was about to stand up when a fruit fell from the tree. It looked like an apple, but it was neither red nor green. It was yellow. He first thought about whether to eat that fruit or not, but it was looking yummy, and on top of that, he was hungry, so he ate it. He ate the whole fruit and found that it had no seed. but it did not matter as it was yummy. After eating that fruit, he stood and was about to leave, but he fainted and fell unconscious there.

In the morning, when Cavil woke up, he was in a wooden cabin; his head was hurting, and he again fainted. A few hours later, when he woke up again, he saw a man in front of him and a girl right next to that man. He stood up and was about to say anything when the girl asked, "How are you?" He said, "I am good, but who are you?" The man said, "I am Bosco." She is my daughter, Skylar. I found you near a tree. You were unconscious, so I brought you here. "Do you feel okay?" Cavil said, "I ate a yellow apple, and then I fell unconscious, and now my whole head is hurting like it is going to explode." Skylar said, "Dad, our work is done; here, we have found the man." Bosco replied, "Yes, but he is so young. Will he be able to harness the energy the fruit will give him?" Cavil said, "What energy are you both talking about?" Bosco said, "Just lay down and sleep; we will wake you when the food is ready." Cavil then collapses and sleeps. When the dinner was ready, Skylar woke Cavil and said, "Wake up, the food is ready." Cavil said, "I am not feeling good; I do not want to eat anything." Bosco came in and said, "You have to eat some and then you can sleep again." Cavil asked, "What did he eat that made him fall unconscious?" Bosco said, "It was the god fruit. Not everybody can find that fruit. Till now, only two people have had it: my father Matt and his brother Ash." They both had the fruit, and now you've discovered it. Do not worry; eat something and sleep. Cavil had a few bites and went to sleep.

Cavil awoke the next morning, and Skylar arrived. "Good morning, Cavil, how are you feeling?" "Is your head alright now?" asked Skylar. "Good morning. I am fine now." "Where is your father?" asked Cavil. She said, "He has gone out to run some errands; he will be soon back." Do you want something to eat? I have made some sandwiches. He said, "I am alright." "Can you give me something to drink like lemonade?" She said, "Yes, I have some in the fridge." Get up, wash your face, and get fresh. I will get the juice for you." Cavil goes into the bathroom. while Skylar gets him some sandwiches and some lemonade. Both were sitting on the stairs outside the house. Skylar asked Cavil, "How come you came here and how did you find that god fruit?" Cavil said, "It's a long story, but I will shorten it: My parents are getting divorced and my mother is not cool. I wanted to be with my father, but he cannot be, as the court has ordered me to be with my mother. Finally, I took a step and escaped from the house. I was on the highway when my bike's tire deflated. I had to leave it there and come in search of a shop. I sat near a tree to take some rest, and a yellow apple fell right in front of me. I was so hungry that I ate it without thinking. Then I fell unconscious there, and later you and Bosco took me here, and the rest is all you know.

In the afternoon Cavil was sitting on the porch and Skylar was cooking food for them. Bosco came and asked Cavil "How is he feeling"? Cavil said, "I am fine." "Where were you?" Bosco said, "I went to get some supplies; come inside; I want to talk to you." Cavil said, "Okay," and followed him inside. Bosco said, "Son, take a seat and sit comfortably; I have something serious to tell you." Cavil sat down in the chair and gave full attention to him. Bosco said, "Son, I am happy that we have found you." "You are the chosen one." Cavil said, "What do you mean I am the chosen one?" Skylar said, "There are a lot of things you need to know." The fruit you ate is the god fruit; it is not available to everyone; my father and I had spent a long time looking for it, and you found it. Bosco said, "You are the savior of the world; you have to protect us all from the demon king, Ash."

Skylar was in the garden in the evening, and Bosco was out running errands. Cavil approached Skylar and inquired, "What kind of demons was your father talking about?" And who exactly is Ash? "And where do I fit into this?" "If you want to know everything about it, come sit beside me," Skylar said. I'll tell you about my grandfather Matt and his brother Ash. They both used to live in the same wooden cabin here. My grandfather was the older of the two, and his younger brother also lived with Uncle Max. They stayed until Ash took the other route, and my grandfather swore an oath to keep him from making the same mistakes.
