Manoj: - Happy birthday son!!, now you no more remain a kid you have stepped towards your adolescence, there are many other beautiful yet fascinating things you are yet to discover.

Sakshi: - Remember one thing always my son, in this huge world as you grow up you will meet people, some good ones & some bad ones.

Arjun: - But mom, how will I know who is good or bad and choose the correct path.

Sakshi: - The only thing that you think about is freedom not only of this body but of your life, thoughts, freedom to love what you want to, and if anyone or thing that takes away that freedom from you and your loved ones is bad person. Remember freedom never comes without costs it will demand sacrifice make sure that you are ready to pay it.

Manoj: - Ok.. so let us end this here otherwise we will be late.

All three of them go to the hall where the birthday cake is on the table Arjun cuts it and gives it to his parents....

For his gift, Manoj takes him to his workplace in their house.... Both of them enter the room.

Arjun: - Oh my god!!! What are all these gadgets and weapons?

Manoj: - Don't touch anything, it could be very dangerous.

Arjun: - But father are you allowed to keep all these weapons home?

Manoj: - Yes, but it is not only me that has all these weapons but all the people on our planet have these

Arjun: - But why??

Manoj: - It is for our own security.

Arjun: - From whom??

Manoj: - You will know, but first I want to you listen to me very carefully, you will complete your studies this year and like every citizen of Planet "AURORA" you will also join the DADF (DEFENCE AGAINST THE DARK FORCES ) but before you do that you have to know something my son you have great responsibilities to hold in future and for that, you have to train yourself so promise me that you will try hard and do your best to make yourself up for it.

Arjun: - Yes, I will. But dad what are these responsibilities that you are talking about, and how do you know it now, and why you are telling me today?

Manoj: - Listen up son this world is not as peaceful and quiet as you know it, it is full of all nasty and bad things that you now must know. It is also not limited to all that you studied, our galaxy is one of all 2 billion galaxies with living creatures. So, from today, I will provide you with information about it, so you know why we live like this, so isolated from the rest of the galaxies, why all of "AURORIANS" have to join DADF, and what we do there. We have six months before you join DADF so from now on I will give you a new recording each day that we made during our wars in history and it will increase your knowledge about our history, technology, tactics of war, and most importantly what compelled us to this state and where are we heading to.

Arjun: - Ok dad, but dad why and from whom we are hiding? 

Manoj: - Son you will get all your answer in time, but for now you just must satisfy yourself with this recording.

Arjun: - But dad why these recordings were made?

Manoj: - These were made when I was almost your age and a member of the HAMF (Human Alien Military Force) back in our home planet "PRITHIV". They have all transcripts of time when we have to flee our home planet and escape from (Takes pause)....

Arjun: - From who dad?

Manoj: No one, enough talking let us get to work now. So, I leave you to listen to this recording.
