Noah was again lost in his thoughts when the sound of thunder brought him back to reality. He was wondering whether all this was real or was it just a nightmare. He kept thinking about what could be done, then it struck him. Robin was a genius in helping people out of toughest of situations. He went down immediately and went out, walking towards Wilson estate. It had been raining since afternoon and now it was 6 P.M., the time for Robin to return from his work. He was now looking at the grand entrance gate of Wilson Estate. The estate was built in 1920 by Robin's great grandfather, it remained unchanged to this day. It was one of the biggest mansions in Victoria. It's now antique gateway, when opened, led to a long garden alleyway, at whose end was the stood the Wilson estate. It's door had a dusty texture which somehow gave nostalgic vibes. Somehow, it never failed to make Noah feel uncomfortable, he thought that it holds many secrets. He knocked on the door, although Robin always told him that he can enter anytime he wanted to, he also had a key to open the main door in case it was locked when he wanted to get in. But Noah always felt uncomfortable in going to someone else's home and entering without knocking. He knocked on the door, it didn't open but he heard the clattering of glassware. Noah was relieved as it was tea time at Robin's and he was home, he entered without hesitation. Robin said without looking at him, 'I knew it was you, sit down by the window, Sugar?' 'One spoon' Noah answered. He sat by the window , the sound of raindrops hitting the window panes made him feel better somehow.
'So, You now feel helpless and lost?' Robin asked while sitting down. 'Yes, now I feel like I can no longer carry the guilt of what I did that night, or what happened in that house, or that my family died that night.' Noah answered. 'What do you think, then?' Robin asked. 'About what?'. 'About that ring, the ring which caused all of this, are you going to seek the truth or not?', 'I don't know what I should or shouldn't do at this point of time, I don't even know if I should live on or not.' 'See, Noah suicide is not going to make anything better, it is just going to make things tougher for me, you are the only person I can trust in this world, please don't give up, we will find a way out and things will get better, I promise.' 'But I don't know where we should go or what we should do. We only have 2 days, if we fail to uncover the secrets in these 2 days, I don't know what will happen, but I'm sure that whatever happens, it is just going to get worse from here, we've to do something immediately.' Noah was feeling tensed and depressed as if he was being sucked into a hole.
Suddenly Robin got up and went to his bookshelf and picked up an ancient looking thick book. He placed it on the table. He kept turning the pages till a familiar image appeared. 'This is the same ring which you are wearing, Noah, the same ring which will lead us out of this mess.' 'But how?' 'That my friend is what we don't know, I know a professor, the one who gifted me this book, he has all the ancient books about the Spartan Ring, he has mastery in that topic, his name is Dr. Kim Woojin. Let's go immediately.' Finally Noah saw a ray of hope. He felt a bit relieved. The spartan ring, the cause of all this chaos. The ring which shows the way out of this mess and reveals the person who killed his family and turned his life Upside down.
