Blue Diamond
In the world today, we are afraid of the new challenges that come our way. The challenges that sometimes breaks us but teaches us a valuable lesson. As a magician, I only intended to fool you but the reality is that magic lives within us, you just need to realise it.
Thirty-two years ago, in the depths of the mining caves in Kollur India, an archaeologist discovered a rare blue diamond. The diamond had an illuminating blue glow and it had seemed fascinating. In it’s natural form, it was powerful, yet very dark. It was found by an old Indian archaeologist Raja Singh. He seemed desperate but he was unique with a genuine sense of personality and magnetism that filled his eyes. He was just another curious man, who struck gold that day. He saw the strange bluish illumination of light that came from the narrow walls. He wondered and though it seemed like and ordinary diamond, there was something special about it. He had the faintest acknowledgment of the diamond’s existence. He took a sharp knife and started digging the clay walls. The loud sounds of the chiselling echoed for miles as he dug it out from the narrow walls. His eyes widened as the crystal blue prism lit up his face, he quickly hid it in his ragged pocket for safe keeping. Raja left the mining caves immediately that day. There was a small village close by which he called home. Excited about his discovery Raja contacted a trusted friend, unfortunately nobody knew about it. Everyone who Raja told about the diamond found it very impressive but there was something fascinating about it. The slightest touch of the diamond releases a blue glow like a shield, it had it’s own way of protection yet its powerful posture made Raja obsessed and possessive. This scared Raja's family. Raja’s wife Vidya Singh, told him to sell it. They would make a lot of money from it but Raja grew a strong bond with the diamond.
A few months later, Raja was beginning to feel drained and sick. He spent alot of money on medical bills until their home wasn’t the same anymore. There was chaos in the family for Vidya hated the very sight of the diamond. Everyday She got so angry, until she secretly contacted a merchant. She had sold the diamond to a merchant in France. The Merchant wasn’t no ordinary man. He had calm eyes, as he spoke softly. His French accent was understandable and his hands moved gently. He was one of illusion and magic. Some people would call him a God. He was humble, uniquely talented and his skills of illusion were impulsive and relatively unbelievable. This was indeed no ordinary man but a Magician, people who knew him called him by his name Samuel Scott.
Samuel however lived a peaceful life, he lived in a small village in France. Apart from being a magician he practiced the Chinese rituals of spiritual healing. He opened up a whole new world with his teaching and he helped thousands of people who visited from around the world. He also had a small family. His Son Caleb Scott, was just about to turn twenty-two, he followed in his father’s footsteps since they shared a very close bond. Caleb liked to explore and everyday he’d venture into the forest to see what’s new. He was always curious yet brave. Caleb had a heart of gold and loved magic as much as his father did, but his love for his mother was much more. Natalie Scott was a majestic temple keeper. Her calm personality reflected in her eyes and her words always seemed to be meaningful and encouraging. She spent most of her time in their jade temple mediating. Samuel knew Caleb’s birthday was only two weeks away and he kept in mind the diamond would be a great joy to him. Samuel had just returned home from his exhausting trip to India, after he purchased the mysterious but beautiful diamond. He thought it was necessary to do a bit of research before gifting this to his son. Samuel came up empty handed but the diamond didn’t seem safe. The diamond felt unsafe and he wasn’t sure what made the diamond this way. He decided to use his magic.
He was desperate to know the origin of this rare piece of rock. A daring illuminating light lit the entire house that gained the attention of the entire village. It’s bright glow created a perfect image of the diamond’s original nature. It was created by the all the natural elements and beauty of this cruel world. Samuel had never seen such power and beauty. He knew that this was something he had to keep hidden. The diamond attracted many evil people and the negativity of ones mind was consumed by this diamond, which made it dark and unstable. Samuel decided to visit a few of his best friends. They were five different magicians, who felt it was necessary to break it apart. They all had a different a mind set but the same idea. Samuel told them about the diamond and they discussed the best possible solution to keep it hidden, until they were certain what the diamond was capable of. It took weeks and they all failed in attempting to cure the diamond of its darkness. They all...
