--_--------_-----_----_------_------_------_-----_----_----_---_---"Hey Giff how many times have I told you to stop practicing those things that you called magic huh? Am going to tell your father when he returns", a woman about the age of 40 said to a small boy who seems to be about the age of 16years. The boy then pack his small accessories which he had set on the floor into a small brown sack bag and threw them somewhere and runned out from the house. "Go easy on the child Mimi. He's just a boy who's eara  didn't see the greatness of magic and is obsessed of seeing one",an old lady sitting at the corner said to the woman. "Come on mum, we all know what magic has done to our great city and what it could still do if the spell is cast wrong or too far", Mimi said as she turn her attention to the direction that her son went. "He'll be fine",the old lady said to comfort Mimi but she was still worried about her son obsessing with magic.

     "What did we talk about keeping security tight huh soldiers?If I where to be an enemy you all would have been dead", Giff said as he entered a poorly built  wooden house. "Relax Giff. With a magician like you on our side, no one will dare to take our fortress",Gev the only girl among the four friends said. " Oh yes Gev is absolutely right",Lish the tallest boy and also the oldest among them said. "Where's Fatty?", Giff asked. "Right here", a fat boy said as he entered the poorly built wooden house with food all over his shirt. "Where have you been?",Giff asked. "Where else. Just look on his shirt. Eating as usual", Lish said.  "Not as usual this time. I was late because I heard my grandfather talking to Gev's father about the men they sent into the forest of magics and hasn't returned since.",Fatty said."I don't get it why send them to the forest of magics if they are not going to make it back?",Gev asked confused. "They're sent into the forest of magics to find the magician who cause the curse",Giff replied. " Oh and I nearly forgot about the important part. A message was brought that ,the magician was seen in the deadest part of the forest and my  grandfather handled a book to your father which he said contains every details, directions,I mean everything about the place which maybe can guide a person if he or she enters the forest of magics and your father has decided to take that risk.",Fatty said." What!!No way am going to let that happens",Giff said as he took to his heels.
      
         It was almost time for dinner when. Giff's father got home. "Where's Giff?", he asked his wife. "As usual",Mimi replied. "Let's hope he won't be late today also", Mimi said as they Sat down at the table."Have you told him yet?",the old lady asked Giff's father."No Naana. But I'll very soon",he replied. "And when is that soon? After you've pack your bags and ready to leave.",Giff said angrily and emotional behind them as they all sat there shocked wondering how he got to know. "I was going to tell you son. I really was.",he said as he got up and approached Giff who walked away from him and went to his room. "Give him time. He'll be okay",Mimi said.
After dinner Giff's father went to his room and found him sitting on his bed angrily."Am sorry son I was going to tell you. And also I have to, cause nobody is willing to take the risk.
