first day of training (1)

When karan opened his eyes, he was lying on a mattress covered with a thin blanket. After looking around he found himself alone in a simple looking room without any accessories or decoration, just that mattress he was lying on. The walls, roof, floor and door all made from wood.

This was all karan could comprehend as he was not well informed about different types of woods.

After analysing his surroundings he slowly stood up from the mattress and felt his body.

His body felt like he had slept for a long time without any trace of tiredness left from last night. Even his legs which were screaming with pain after every step he took last night neither hurt nor felt sore. Hey felt fine and than went towards the door to take a look outside just to find it was early morning and than went looking for his master outside the house.

Outside the house, under the shade of a banyan tree was a large cuboid stone. Old man Vishwas was sitting on the stone in meditating position, deeply immersed.

When karan came in front of him, he slowly opened his eyes and said " how does your body feel, kid?"

Karan bowed slightly and replied respectfully " my body feels good, master. Did you carry me to the mountain top?"

Old man Vishwas smiled lightly and said " it's great if your body is good cause I don't want to carry you up again."

Karan hearing his reply was confused thinking ' why would I be going down now '.

Seeing him dazing off old man Vishwas said " well kid if you want to take a bath and freshen up. There is no washroom at the top of mountain."

Karan hearing this was dumbstruck after finding that the bathroom was at the foot of mountain.

Old man Vishwas waved him off while saying " don't be late for your first day of training."

Seeing karan going down the slope he thought to himself ' your training begins now kid. You will thank me later. '

As Karan was going down the slope he went down easily and it just took him about an hour and half to reach the foot of mountain.

After freshening up Karan was again on his way towards the top of mountain and he remembered how he fell unconscious last night after climbing a little most than half the slope. While thinking about last night he proceeded to climb the slope with a pace slightly faster than walking. After nearly an hour of climbing he crossed the mark where he fell unconscious last night and he was starting to feel tired again. He still continued with his power walking towards the top of mountain. He thought if he wasn't tired from whole day working at his job, he would have reached the mountain top last night. Not realising the progress he made from just one night of rest in the energry filled room of his master's house.

After another half an hour walk he reached the top of mountain and he saw his master standing there with a smile on his face as if anticipating his return.
