Story: The Legend Of The S.A.I.N.T.S - Season 1 - Episode 5

“No, i just i want to be with Grandpa”
with raised eyebrows she asked “And why?”
“Nothing”
She knew Allen to know when he was not ready to talk about something, so she pressed no further at him.
Allen swung his bag over his arm, waved Kimball goodbye and sauntered home across the tarmac towards the driveway.
Grandpa was seated outside smoking his pipe and reading the papers. Athen who had returned earlier from school ran around the neighbourhood with his friends.
The air was clear, perhaps no rain today, Allen thought.
A gentle breeze cruised the atmosphere and Allen thought this was perfect time to hear about the legend of the saints.
After exchanging greetings with Grandpa he had his lunch which Athen had prepared: steaming noodles with frozen chicken.

Promptly after lunch he sat beside Grandpa outside and talked to him casually about school. Grandpa was well aware that the boy must bring up the ‘legend’ stuff and he was decided to let him know his family story which everyone had heard even his own father and his mother , who was not even part of the Philips family except by marriage.

“You want to know about the legend of the saints boy, are you ready for the story now?”
Allen could not believe his ears. He had been seeking for an avenue to broach the issue ever since they started talking ,..and hear him now ask him if he was ready. There was no time for words, a vigorous head nod was Allen’s reply.

THE LEGEND OF THE SAINTS

Grandpa started talking almost immediately.
“Our family is one that has special gifts from generation to generation. It was believed that Philips our great ancestor was a magician, who had so much power that he could virtually command anything to happen. In his days he was king of Kambury…”
“What!!….so we should be from the royal household, and why!, you could have been king,,..and me a prince!” Allen bluttered out excitedly cutting Grandpa short.
“Easy son, easy, the story’s just begun” Grandpa cautioned , a wide grin playing on his shrunken cracked lips.
Grandpa resumed , “Philips had total control of power in his days, he travelled far and wide collecting magic wands, spiritual gifts and virtues, he was totally a god on earth. He became so powerful that the people feared him so much, hence Kambury was one of the most strongest and powerful cities in his time. From his time till now his spiritual virtues and powers had always passed down to his lineage”
Allen opened his mouth to speak.
“Keep mute son..” cautioned Grandpa, “the story’s still fresh from the steamer, wait and hear it all, then you can ask all your heart”.
“Can we go on now?”
Allen’s nod was vigorous.
“The trouble started when Jordan Anek, one of your ancestors, who for no just cause disliked Philips, hence he changed his name to Anek instead of Philips.
Jordan greatly disliked magic and since he was magic in-born he hated the originator of magic in his lineage. He made friends with the Astin Family and on a merry xmas eve he signed a treaty that Kambury would no more be ruled by a magician after him.
