Chapter 2 - chapter 2 : Routine trouble

They arrived at the museum after forty five (45) minutes.

.....

And finally they were on the grounds of the glamorous and magnificent National museum. One of the world's best museums at the center of Dsm city.

The students climbed down with much anticipation when they saw a well built museum. Sir Daniel went to talk to the museum docent about their schedule here on the museum while the students continued to wonder on a well sculptured building of the museum.

Sir Daniel came back after few minutes to get them and they both went inside in a straight line with a female docent leading their way.

When Jimmy was about to get in, he noticed a male docent who was welcoming them; he was looking at him as if he knows him. He seemed to made eye contact with him for so long.

The docent looked directly at him even though he was welcoming other students.

The man was of medium tallness, he had bald head and beard. The docent had a light dark skin .

"does he know me", Jimmy thought in his head.

But when he entered into the museum he decided to not care about the male docent as he was focused on increasing his knowledge and to satisfy his enthusiasm on the king's myth.

They were guided to several places before they halted to a door with words written on top of it, "External Histotical Chamber". They entered the chamber and they moved around for some time learning some new information until they halted again on a wall written some words concerning the roman empire.

It was written about their leadership, system of tax collection, how they influenced other other kingdoms and empires and reasons for the fall of the empire.

When the female docent was explaining about all these things students were not paying much attention including Jimmy, not because he was bored like the others but because he knows almost everything about the history of roman empire. He has already studied it at home on his personal studies. So the main purpose of going to the museum was to learn more about the famous myth of King Demion.

They then learned more about other things like the Berlin conference and the world wars before leaving the chamber.

They went around some more and reached on the room involving National histories. They learnt so many things about the country.

That was until they saw a golden coloured cupboard . It was breathtaking by its beauty and it was written "The Myth Of The Great King Demion". The male docent took over and started to explain.

He said that the myth was mostly narrated within the tribes until one English traveller decided to write it in in a book on the sixteenth century since it was very popular. No one knows what materials he used to write on, that it remained new after all those years.

The myth was written in a kind of book with papers nourished in silver like material which was not identified and the ink itself was unexplainable .

So many scientific researches have been conducted with no answers. It was said that Apollo, the british traveller acquired these substances from the rich people of that time.

After that the docent narrated the myth (Read it at the start of this chapter)

"Any question?", the docent asked when he finished. Since the students were not listening to him except for Jimmy, they didn't have any questions.

"Since there is no question I think we should...", the docent stopped when he saw a hand.

To the suprise of everyone Jimmy rose his hand. Even sir Daniel raised a brow because Jimmy had never earned attention by himself except from people's mocks.

With a smile, the male docent gave him a go ahead. "Aren't there any stories maybe, about the powers possed by these adornments?", Jimmy asked.

"There was neither stories nor information concerning the powers but they were guessed to be unique power that a normal man could never posses", the docent answered.

Oscar came out of nowhere and whispered loudly, "We have a new superhero in town, Jimmy the Demion". Everyone came out of their boredom and laughed out like birds on a tree house , even sir Daniel smiled. Except for the docent who looked disturbed by oscar's comment in which it didn't go unnoticed byJimmy and he didn't understand why.

Anyway Jimmy asked again, "is there any description for those adornments "

"Of course, we have drawings over there describing the bracelet only as generally narrated in some tribes but there were no general description of the ring since each tribe described it differently" the docent answered showing with his hands, two drawings hanged on a wall across the cupboards, showing a bracelet, horizontally and vertically.

They turned to look, "Generaly it was golden coloured because it was made of gold , to be specific ancient gold!, and it was decorated with diamond and Tanzanite", the docent said.

"Wow! It's cool", Oscar said.

After that the female docent took over and start to lead them out of the room to other few places until they left the museum.

They arrived at school at around 02:00 pm and they went direct into the class since they already had lunch at the museum historical cafe. So, sir Daniel talked to them a little about studies and plans he had in teaching before he left to his office.

When the last bell rang Jimmy went home directly since it was the start of weekend, friday.

Jimmy reached home and found his mother preparing to leave for work as usual. So Jimmy greeted her and went to put his backpack in his room. "Jimmy, I am leaving for work, the food's in the kitchen", her mother shouted to him before leaving.

He stayed in his room for a moment since he already had lunch at the museum, he didn't feel very hungry.

Then he went to take a shower with one thought in his head 'when would the hot sunrays end in Dsm city'

After taking a shower he went to his room, to rest. He slept and woke up at 05:30 pm.

He decided to go to his favourite place, at the room window which gives a good view of the construction site and the evening twilight.

When refreshing his mind there, he started to think about some impossible ideas of himself being with Sarah; her crush.

On about 06 pm he snapped out of his crazy thoughts and decided to take his books and study a little but he immediately stopped on his tracks when he saw the incomplete building on the construction site , falling apart and he heard a great thud caused by its collapse.

Still in that horror, he remembered that his mother hasn't return from work yet, so she might be at the construction site.

Out of only those thoughts he didn't even notice that he was already out of the house heading to the site.

"God, please let me find my mother unharmed", he prayed within his heart. He was panting and sweating with worries. He was not ready to lose the closest person in his life since his father is no more.

Immediately he was there and he found some people providing help to the injured people . He looked on both sides but he couldn't see his mother.

At last he saw her mother's carrier broken up by heavy blocks where she mostly like to sit. He ran to look around but it was his bad luck, he didn't find her. He only saw pieces of clothes soaked in blood.

That was when he concluded that he has lost her. He concuded that his lovely mother was no more . He conluded that his own life was over.

Until he heard a familiar voice calling his name, "JIMMYY"

!!! Without knowing that this day was the start of Troubles in his daily routines, He turned around to see whose sound was that.!!!
