Once upon a time, there was a university in the far land on a hill. It was actually was a castle. But many preferred not to go to study there because of the rumours about ghosts and phantoms. No one had ever seen the ghosts, the accidents were the only proof. But there were three young scholars who stayed together in a room of the university’s hostel. All of them were brilliant in studies and topped in every exam. They were Percy, Jason and Frank. Percy, Jason and Frank were in their senior and last year and it was the last night in their hostel.
Late at midnight Jason got up from his dorm room and headed for the bathroom in the dark. When he reached the door her heard a long creak and it became still. ‘Who’s there?’ Jason called out, but there was no response. On his way back he heard another voice which called out ‘Jaaasssssooonnn!!Help!’ He ran in the direction the voice seemed to come from, but when he reached the stairs in the corridor there was nothing. He thought he was hallucinating and returned to the dorm room. Suddenly a ghost with flashy fangs and demon wings dropped from the ceiling. He was so terrified that he couldn’t even scream for help. He ran towards the stairs. Another ghost without any head was waiting for him. ‘You will die’ it said. Suddenly there was a flash of pure white light and the ghost was reduced to smoke.
Jason couldn’t believe his eyes but standing beside him was Percy himself with a crazy grin spreading across his face and a crystal sword in his hand. On his left was Frank with a six feet long javelin glowing from its crystal aura. Surprised, he asked his friends, ‘What are you guys trying to do? It’s one in the night and last day for the university and you are roaming in the lobbies and the corridors and scaring people. Guys seriously it’s no time to carry out a practical joke!’ Percy stopped him and said, ‘Jason, it is time now that you know that you are a half born. It means you are a special child of the spirit of the light. People like us are supposed to save the world from the nightmare and ghosts led by their leader lady May. She controls the spirits of darkness and is unstoppable. But, we have to stop her and now we have located her. She is in this university. We got the signal from the spirit of light that we will find a half born here. When we found you, we became your best friends.’
Jason finally had the courage to ask, ‘All right I’ll help you but tell me is this sword real?’ ‘Yes, Very much real and extremely effective on ghosts.’ ‘Let’s go and find her’. The three of them checked every room but found nothing. Finally Jason spotted her and it seemed that she was searching for them as well. It happened like this:-
– They go to the faculty room.
– Find their math’s teacher sitting on her desk at four o’clock in the morning.
– Jason messes up by dropping his sword.
– Their teacher looks up speaks ‘I am lady May and you seem to be half born so naturally I’m going to stop you and your cursed spirit and end your life. Time to say good bye little heroes. Hee heee hhheeeee hhhheeeeee!!’ she crackled and floated out of the room.
They followed her to the top of the castle and suddenly she charged towards them. But Jason suddenly felt a bolt of power coursing through his body. He yelled ‘IMPHAZAZLC!!’ and a white hot bolt of lightning came from nowhere and vaporized her.
No one spoke till five o’ clock as they sat watching the rising sun. Finally Percy piped up and said ‘You are a special one….’ He put one hand around Jason and another around Frank and said, ‘Let’s enjoy our graduation friends we now have lots of work to do!’ saying this he and his godly friends turned to get dressed for the graduation ceremony.
Jason woke up as light was streaming inside his dorm room and Percy and Frank were dressing for the event. ‘Are you not coming?’ Percy asked. Then he understood that he had been dreaming all the time. ‘Come on let’s get our degrees,’ he said as he got out of bed.
