Blue Diamond

Episode 1

In the world today, we are afraid of the new challenges that come our way. The challenges that sometimes breaks us but teaches us a valuable lesson. As a magician, I only intended to fool you but the reality is that magic lives within us, you just need to realise it.

Thirty-two years ago, in the depths of the mining caves in Kollur India, digging in the dirt and dust, an old Indian archaeologist discovered a rare blue diamond. The diamond had an illuminating blue glow and it was fascinating. In it's natural form, it was indomitable, this beautiful piece of nature was indeed dangerous.

The old Indian archaeologist Raja Singh, seemed desperate but he was unique with a genuine sense of personality and magnetism that filled his eyes. He was just another curious man, who struck gold that day. He saw the strange bluish illumination of light that came from the narrow walls. He wondered and thought it seemed like an ordinary diamond, yet there was something special about it. He had the faintest acknowledgment of the diamond's existence. He took a sharp knife and started digging the clay walls.

The loud sounds of the chiselling echoed for miles, as he dug it out from the narrow walls. His eyes widened as the crystal blue prism lit up his face, he quickly hid it in his ragged pocket for safe keeping. Raja left the mining caves immediately that day.

There was a small village close by which he called home. Excited about his discovery, Raja contacted a trusted friend, unfortunately nobody knew about it. Everyone who Raja told about the diamond found it very impressive but there was something fascinating about it. The slightest touch of the diamond releases a blue glow like a shield, it had it's own way of protection yet its powerful posture made Raja obsessed and possessive. This scared Raja's family. Raja's wife Vidya Singh, told him to sell it. They would make a lot of money from it but Raja grew a strong bond with the diamond.

A few months later, Raja was beginning to feel drained and sick. He spent alot of money on medical bills, until their home wasn't the same anymore. There was chaos in the family for Vidya hated the very sight of the diamond. Everyday She got so angry, until she secretly contacted a merchant. They were in desperate need of money and she had nothing else to sell but the Blue diamond. She had sold the diamond to a merchant in China. The Merchant wasn't no ordinary man. He had a sense of placidity in his eyes, as he spoke softly. His Chinese accent was understandable and his hands moved gently. He was one of illusion and magic. Some people would call him a God. He was humble, uniquely talented and his skills of illusion were impulsive and relatively unbelievable. This was indeed no ordinary man but a man of peace and skill. People who knew him called him by his name "Móshù shī" which means magician in Chinese.

Móshù shī lived a peaceful life, he lived in a small village in ancient china where the rivers flow and earth was covered by tall trees. He was a martial arts teacher that practiced the Chinese rituals of spiritual healing. He opened up a whole new world with his teaching and he helped thousands of people who visited from around the world.

Móshù shī married an American woman and his family was small yet perfect. His Caleb was just about to turn twenty-two, he followed in his father's footsteps since they shared a very close relationship. Caleb liked to explore and everyday he'd venture into the forest to see what's new. He was always curious yet brave. Caleb had a heart of gold and loved magic as much as his father did, but his love for his mother was much more. Natalie was a majestic temple keeper. Her equitable personality reflected in her eyes and her words always seemed to be meaningful and encouraging. She spent most of her time in their jade temple mediating. Móshù shī knew Caleb's birthday was only two weeks away and he kept in mind the diamond would be a great joy to him. Móshù shī had just returned home from his exhausting trip in India, after he purchased the mysterious but beautiful diamond. He thought it was necessary to do a bit of research before gifting this to his son. Móshù shī came up empty handed. The beautiful prismatic features of the diamond was mind blowing but the diamond didn't seem safe. Móshù shī felt a dark presence within it. The diamond felt unsafe and he wasn't sure what made the diamond this way. He decided to use his knowledge of magic to open its reality of this illusionary world.

He was desperate to know the origin of this rare piece of rock. He used his hands and placed them over the diamond, when daring illuminating light lit the entire house that gained the attention of the entire village. It's bright glow created a perfect image of the diamond's original nature. It was created by the all the natural elements and beauty of this cruel world. Samuel had never seen such power and beauty. He knew that this was something he had to keep hidden. The diamond attracted many evil people and the negativity of ones mind was consumed by this diamond, which made it dark and unstable. Móshù shī visited a few of his best friends. They were five different monks of the jade temples, who felt it was necessary to break it apart. They all had a different a mind set but the same idea.

Móshù shī told them about the diamond and they discussed the best possible solution to keep it hidden, until they were certain of what the diamond was capable of. It took weeks and they all failed in attempting to cure the diamond of its darkness. They all agree to protect it, until a man walked into the village looking for trouble. Ronaile Versa was a great yet dark magician from France Italy. He was a scientist of dark thoughts. His blue eyes were filled with the determination and hatred for Móshù shī. They were once best friends that turned sour after a sudden incident. How regretful was Móshù shī, but he couldn't change what was about to happen.
