After the priest settling down Demark found himself more courageous as he stood his ground and finally thought he would be able to fulfill the role and motive of him coming here. The sound was also peaceful inside and it was calm and warm inside. The heat had become much less intense. Such warm weather reminded him of those days of spring when he would be in blissful solitude.

Difficult times come and difficult times pass his parents had taught him. Even though it was a small test relative to what was coming, he still savored the moment deeply.

The priest as if oblivious to what just happened asked him calmly "Did you come for going to the library at the rooftop?"

"Yes, sir." Demark replied. He spoke as if nothing unusual had happened, as if the incident at the temple had not affected him at all. He had knowledge and a researcher's mind but he knew his limitations of his wisdom. He was still young after all. Truthful words of the wise, words of people writing scientific papers on nature, the interaction between god and demons and much more. All of these things had appealed to him and made him search about the mystery of the levitating priest. Many people had heard about the levitating monks during meditation but Demark didn't really believe it until that day when he saw as if the priest was floating in air with full control.

Something was vague in his memory. And it was about the flying priest. Perhaps he read it yesterday or perhaps he had heard the story before from his fellow villagers and elders. Whatever the situation was he believed he could find out more in the library at the roof. And there would be additional information in the library he wanted to study anyway.

Like before the priest led forward. He accepted after a deep breath to prepare on his 20 minute long journey along the staircase to the top. The staircase was the same as before but the journey felt shorter as did all journeys which have been experienced before. Demark looked at the texture and the patterns on the walls this time as he climbed. He even noticed a window the first time and saw the sun inching towards the west he believed.

He believed he valued the sun even more as he had been faced with sudden darkness. It was not as if he didn't like the dark, darkness had taught him many things. But he learned there was something in light that gave people meaning if darkness also had that aspect.

After all Demark knew most people valued their eyes because they wanted to see. The value of seeing could be demonstrated if a person loses sight at the time when he needs it the most. For example the fight and flight situation or the situation in which people had to stand their ground and look confident. The beauty of different environments would be captured by the eyes.

The therefore he opened his eyes wide when he looked at the garden after reaching the top of the temple again. The rush of colours made his wait worth it. The flowers of different shapes and sizes and the beauty of it. The aroma that reminded him of his hometown. All those sweet beautiful memories associated with the hometown and the river in the village.

He turned to face the priest whom he thought was behind him. But when he turned towards the priest was gone again. He first contemplated why the priest had repeated the same action twice. But curiosity of the books got the better of him and he climbed towards the books.

After 3 hrs of reading, he stumbled upon a book that was located deeper into the shelf.

After reading Demark thought

Once upon a time there was before the creation of human beings only nature. And nature interacted with it self in many ways. Many expected accidents happened at the same time unexpected accidents occurred.

The unexpected accidents by mistake led to quantum changes and eventually with the help of the daily occurrences helped lead to the somewhat predictable world we see today. 

By isolation and distance between two places the flora and fauna developed differently. The quality of the fruits, and crops varied according the establishment of these isolated zones. Some places are such as those in the east and south east people ate rice. Whereas some places wheat and bread.

But there are gaps in the information such as where do human beings come from. Were the human beings created as adults or babies first?

The human beings because of their intelligence could survive and thrive in many places. They could store food and get the basic necessities such as shelter which are difficult to obtain as  other common living things do. Love and attachment were also other living things needed. But above others it was the needed of purpose, a desire to fulfill the needs of the heart and mind.

The belief of how creation took place. Did it happen instaneously or did it happen over a long period of time? Were our ancestors to witness the growth of other plants and animals there? Where they observing the development of plants and animals? Could they observe the leaf in its finest details? Whether it would grow broad or narrow? Does the shape have anything to do with the function?

Demark contemplated deeply about his history and some books which was science fiction. Could history given by the development and inventions of mankind give a person insight into the possible future? Time machines and going on a space adventure to other planets. Would those events take place on the possible future?

Our bodies are built in a incredible fashion such that all the functional organs work together. In a microscopic level the proteins, carbohydrates, fatty acids and inorganic materials work together. They work together with help of genes which help produce the enzymes and structural elements so that chemical reactions in the body can take place.

Some people dedicate themselves in the pursuit of knowledge. But with learning and getting experience  both helps a person to relearn again and again and bring himself closer to reality.
