Wednesday 5th is the worst of days at school .the class didn't receive morning lectures today,
Definitely you will ask me why ?
Well we were expecting an external lecturer and we are forced to wait for him till his arrival. What kind of school does that ? But here in Raymond college anything can happen. I remember once the whole teachers in school strike themselves from teaching because they wanted an increment in their salaries . ever since then i knew anything can happen . the stridency from my mates is just so unbearable so i buried my head on my desk conversing with my mind . I hate to chit chat in loud crowds like this I end up having a headache so resting my head is just what suits me at this particular time. Whenever I find myself in this state I get lost in my own Reverie. Seeing me graduating as a juris doctor, passing my bar exams and becoming an attorney . a proud known attorney like Thurgood Marshall. defending cases, bringing justice , digging ugly secrets from their hidden depths.
I'm sure my Mama would walk the streets proud of her son, my trouble neighbors will stop making problems because they'll know that her son will sue them and get them into prison. Wow i really love my future.
" Rayn get up "

I do not know why seth never let's me have peace
" Go away seth "
" I'm serious get up he's here "
" you lie too much seth, sorry to disappoint you we are in August so I can't be your April fool "
" And who is that lazy student sleeping when others are busy with their books ! "
I know that voice even in my dream it's our principal's. I get up quickly putting up a smile
" Good evening sir "
" Rayn it's afternoon "
" oh my bad, we waited for the lecturer for long I thought it's evening already "
" Do not have time for your jokes, listen everyone this is Mr Stillings give him some minutes from your time will you ?
" Yes sir ( chorused reply ) "
We've been waiting all day for him does our principal expects a NO from us , what a rhetorical request . I muttered that though.
" Good afternoon all, I'm a historian and I'm going to be enlightening you today on myths and legends on statues and their stories behind them. Every child is suppose to know about what happened in the past times "
I turned my head slowly, seth eyes and mine met we shook our head disappointed. Really, so this is what we have been waiting all day for ? He moved closer to the board and list out names he wants to talk on .
" I cannot list out all the names today it's going to eat up our time. So let's talk about this six subjects and we can reschedule another day to continue "
This lecture is going to be boring what is my business with the past, everyone in this 21st century is busy thinking of how to build their future not living in the past . but I cannot leave the class so I buried my cheek in my palms and listened.
" okay now the first is
1. The oracle at Delphi
2. The goddess Durga
3.Goddess of Kilauea (Pele)
4. Treasures of Memora
5. Rama's bridge
6. Medussa
" So does anyone have any idea about the oracle at Delphi ? ..... No hands ? Okay then . In ancient Greece in the town of Delphi on the slopes of mount Parnassus, there was a temple devoted to the god of Apollo. Within a sacred chamber a priestess called pythia, she would breathe in sweet smelling vapors emanating from a crack in the rock. These vapors would send her into a state of frenzy during which she would channel Apollo and speak gibberish a priest would then turn that gibberish into prophecies . researchers says this temple is real and scientist have discovered two geologic faults running beneath the site now in ruins.
The next here is the goddess Durga . this is a major deity in hinduism, she is worshipped as a goddess, her legend centres around combating evils and demonic forces that threatened peace, prosperity and the power of good over evil. Durga is like the goddess of war she rides a lion or tiger. She has between eight and eighteen hands each holding a weapon to destroy and create . she fights for the justice of her people when called upon.
The third is ...
" I think I know the history of the next name " Gruber interrupted Mr stillings
" oh really, please tell the class "
" Pele is a Brazilian black footballer, some people call him the king of football, so can we skip to the next "
The class gave a guffaw to Gruber's naughtiness, he likes to frustrate any teacher he doesn't like .
" Actually this pele is a goddess and not the Brazilian footballer. As I was saying ......
" sorry to cut you short mr stillings but this name ' treasures of Memora ' is it a new myth never heard of it before " I asked
" No, no it's not , it has existed long time ago the treasures of Memora is a real myth "
" maybe you can tell us this, cuz your other histories sucks like damn, since there is treasures in this one maybe we can go hunting for it "
Gruber never minds his words, he acts as if his father owns the white house to be sincere I really do not like him and he isn't ignorant of it. The teacher paused for a while he scanned the class with his eyes and asked calmly
" Do you all really want me to skip to the Treasures of Memora ? ''
" yes sir ( chorused reply ) "
" okay then, long time ago during the ages of dragons and sorcery dwelt a wealthy king. He had a vast empire, his land was the biggest during his era and so other diminutive kingdoms had little voice over his orders. He was honored, feared and respected by all but even a great king of his kind had his own fears . he didn't bore a son to rule after his reign. During those times women were seen feeble and maltreated . they were denied several rights and princess Memora the only child of king salasteus didn't escape this bigotry that the women of their time suffered . she was denied by the subjects of the king to rule over them after his demise. The king forever lived in anguish for even with his greatness he was still a weakling because he had no son to supersede his reign . on princess memora's 18th birthday the king gave his child his treasures.a great treasure it was, something any king after him would want to himself . the king died shortly after, an unannounced death without any ailment nor physical attack on him, a death that only a sorcerer will be held guilty of . something even more mysterious happened as the treasures and princess memora disappeared and no one knew what happened to them ."
" Wow, is there whereabout still a mystery " I asked anxiously
" yes, researchers have tried over the years but they are not getting a proud result "
"Sir, what's the name of this kingdom called ?" Shadap the only Asian dude we have asked
" It is the great kingdom of Abkazia, trust me there is a great treasure hidden in one of the lands but only few escape the curses of the witches "
" those witches will bow down to a UZI submachine gun. trust me too Mr stillings they are archaic and do not know the power of this gun I will blow their heads off even before they start casting a spell . " Gruber still running his mouth, I won't say he is weak but please he brags too much, he can't even use a gun for goodness sake . but this history really got me hard I guess the lecture didn't turn so boring as I thought it would be. Mr stillings has just given me the urge to research more about this land of mystery.
