"There is no one here who are you even playing with. Come now dont make stupid jokes. We are going home. We have to pray to the god". Erwin angrily throws the stone  and looks at his mom "Mom how long are we going to go with this stupid god thing? There is nothing called god. I cant accept it". The mother grabs erwin's hand tightly and angrily. She drags him to home. They reach home."Mom, I wont go there , I m not going to pray. This is stupid!" The moms slaps him many times. The noises wakes up erwin's dad. The dad comes downstairs and sees erwin and mom fighting. "What are you guys doing" says the dad. The mother looks at him and explains everything. After hearing it, The dad starts beating erwin very badly. The dad kicks him, punchs him and throws him. Erwin crys loudly in pain. Erwin's feels his hand broken. The dad keeps on beating him horibly. After sometimes all settles down. Erwin , upstairs , trying to sleep but he could not. He looks outside the window during night time. He looks at the stars. He suddenly jumps out of the window. "I have had enough...I m going away from here. I m going to find the actual truth. I m going to the temple of reality and see the actual truth" Erwin is determined. He starts running. He keeps on running. Erwin already went far from his home and to the point he couldnt turn back. He reaches far away to a jungle and sits there. Erwin with his tired legs decides to rest. "Who are you kid? What do you think you are doing here?" A old man suddenly appears behind. Erwins jumps fearfully,steps back. He was scared even though the old man did nothing. Erwin was still scared after what happened. "Relax. Why are you scared?". Both of them calmed down. "So how old are you? You look very young. You shouldnt be here" the old man says calmly. "I m 16 and i ran away from home to seek out the temple of reality. I wanna know the truth!" Erwin says without hesitation."Boy.... You are not ready for something like that." The old man said nicely. "What do you mean i m not ready? How would you know if i m ready or not ?". The old man smiles and looks at him and says "How would i know ? ....From my experience i have the feeling that you are not capable. Listen kid......"

"I have seen the truth and i m the only one who has seen it.... The harsh reality"
