A Magic Ring


In ancient times there was a village, where a priest used to worship Lord Shiva and being blessed with divine powers to do good deeds. He helped villagers who are in need with his powers, because of him villagers and village were happy.  At the same time, there was a cave on the top of mountains covered with snow in the village, where a wizard used to perform necromancy and his powers were outmatched. One day, he heard about the priest and his greatness, he decided to wipe out him from this world. And sketched a plot to steal his powers and kill him by performing voodoo, the priest had a power to foresee the future and understood his plan. He knew that his powers can't withstand before his black magic but, there was a way to deal with wizard, it was the sacrifice of his life and transfer powers to any material. He actually made a ring, such that his powers can be assimilated into ring after his death. Finally, priest and wizard faced each other, it was the fiercest battle in history, both of the them lost their lives and the priest powers were channelize into the ring.


There was a huge flood in the village, everything was washed away even the ring, it traveled along the stream. Lastly, reached the vast ocean and wandering here and there under the water because of currents and got settled in a shell. It was monsoon season, due to high and strong tides the shell came ashore, the sand has covered the shell as days passed on. One day, a boy was strolling in a beach and he had a dream, it was to foresee future and he actually know that it can't be fulfilled at any cost. He enjoyed the chirping sound of birds, sound of waves hitting the rocks and beautiful sunset, he saw the kid's building a castle using sand and buckets they have, so he also started doing the same castle which they were doing, when he was accumulating the sand, he found a shell which was quite unique from other one's. He opened the shell and there was the magic ring in it. He rejoiced by looking at it and took into his hands and wore to his finger, started looking at it meticulously. He din't knew about the power which the ring had. When he reaches home, he feels exhausted and fell asleep soon.


In the late night, he gets a dream about the village and priest, priest elucidate regarding the power which the ring possess. He says, you can foresee the future and change it but, your life span decrease as you use the power, even though if it's for a good or bad cause. He suddenly woke up and noticed the ring was shinning brightly. The next day, he had a power to change the future and he knew that he has to use it wisely. He began to travel to different places and became affluent with the power he had but, he noticed poor people distress and their miserable living conditions while he was travelling. The people were suffering from dangerous diseases, huge debts and din't knew about opulent life, by seeing all this, his heart began to melt and he thought for a while and utilize the power despite the cost of his life. As months passed on, he was left with few days to live on earth, he changed lives of many people who are in need and he wasn't sad that his life span was about to finish but, he was glad that he contributed his life for a good cause and he had alot of blessings from the bottom of heart from the people he served. The time has descended to leave the world, he saw the spirit of the priest and said I'm ready but, priest said in a polite voice ,"I'm not here to take you but, to prolong your life span". He baffled by hearing, he replied, "why my life span is being prolonged ?" priest sighed and said "you have employed the power for a good cause and din't care about your life" I'm delighted and vanished abruptly. He continued to do good deeds for the rest of his life.


The magic ring had changed the lives of many people, since it fell into the hands of good person, but imagine what if it falls into the hands of evil person. Now a days, we can't find magic ring, but a person has ability to change the fate of the people.
