At first Cyrus didn't care , butthen he saw him walking into the path that people in the village says that is dangerous with mysterious and dangerous animals and herbs.

        "Mister that place is dangerous, I hope you don't go there". Cyrus said. The man turn to only see actually a cold face looking boy looking at him. he smiled and said" don't worry I know already, I'll be fine"

   "then if you knew then why do you want to go there, do u want to commit suicide, at least enjoy your old age for a while" Cyrus said clearly annoyed. ' I've never seen anyone stupid' he thought.

"Hahaha do you know why" the old man ask him. Cyrus shook his head."that's because I have been here before". Cyrus stared at him astonished and confused."isn't it dangerous and scary as I heard" Cyrus asked again.Of course it is but to me, it's a piece Of cake". " Piece of cake..." Cyrus' mouth was open . Hahaha of course it is, the old man laugh at his reaction. okay if u say so, Cyrus said to him as he was ready to leave. why don't you come with me to an adventure , the old man said again. " me? " Cyrus paused and ask .

 Yes of course you, the old man said. "Let's go on an adventure and see the extraordinary, are you willing?"

Cyrus eyes sparkled as he heard what the man says but then he thought ' stuffs like this can only be seen in movies , is this man a trafficker'

"Don't waste your time on me, my family won't even care if I'm dead , they will probably be relieved. So you can go ahead and find another kid to kidnap, that way you could extort a lot of money, I'm useless" . Cyrus said blankly without any emotions on his face.

"..........."

The old man was left speechless but then he laughed heartily and said " if I really wanted you won't even realize it" " but I can see you are a smart kid, how can you say you are not special" the old man ask again.

" well everyone calls me a witch and my white hair stands for bad luck" Cyrus said casually.

"Do you think so , do you really believe it" the old man said softly. "well from the beginning ..... everywhere I go is always a disaster. from the death of my family to the breakdown of my step dad....... I don't know..... maybe I'm a curse " Cyrus said as his turn red with his head looking down.

" But you can change your destiny " the man said again.

"Really..... i..i ..I really want to help my step dad" Cyrus eyes light up as he stared the old man with anticipation.

"Oh course young child , it's your decision, follow me and become my disciple and I will teach you" the old man said as he outstretched his to the eight years old Cyrus. Cyrus hesitated but he accepted the man as his master and that was the beginning of Cyrus training and journey.

"Master I won't disappoint you" Cyrus said cheerfully as he smiled for the first time over the years.
