Story: The Legend Of The S.A.I.N.T.S - Season 1 - Episode 8

Athen was locked-on to his video game in his bedroom while at the sitting room, seated in a solemn manner was Allen and Grandpa discussing about their ancestors. The gentle breeze fluttered through the curtains into the room. The day was cool and the weather was dry. This time their discussion was very mutual. Grandpa was speaking.
“The Romans got gods, they have the god of the sea, of the air, the soil, love, peace, name them, they’re countless. That was in those days when men worshipped the gods with all enthusiasm and seriousness, but today how many do give a damn for a god somewhere he don’t know , when he gat children to feed, and a hell of work at his heels, the gods could go to hell for all he care!” He paused a little and wiped off the spittle that trailed his jaw.
“When the Romans got gods like Poseidon, Athena, Hermis, Zeus, name them, lots of ‘em, we here at Kambury at that time….my great great great grand father had not even been born, …we here at Kambury got the great Saints as our gods just like the Roman got theirs. Those they call the legendary Saints, yea, they were our gods, but now no one even care a pin ’bout ‘em, mind you they could still be existing, or they may not, but to be on a safe side we dare not speak against or blaspheme ‘em or their powers……”
Grandpa paused, took his pipe and had a long draw and a long puff before he resumed his endless talks which had already got Allen irritated…..
“go straight to the point , old man” Allen thought angrily.
“Hear this son, Regan..yea, you remember him, don’t you… Regan was one of your oldest and most legendary ancestors, he was a god, a great one for that matter, he is a god now, but there were times when he lived on this earth, a mortal like you like me.
Regan was very powerf, – though he didn’t regain the royal leadership back to this family, – yet he was very very powerful , but he, like most great men, had one weakness – Women”.
He continued after another puff at his pipe.
“Regan was a traveller. On one of his many travellings he met Cinder a very young and beautiful Lankshiran woman. Regan promised her marriage and brought her back to Kambury without her people’s consent – she was then madly in love with him….”

“Regan had always had eyes for the throne , but was two deeply involved in magic to fight physically the emerging gallant soldiers of Kambury. He brought Cinder home to Kambury , but he left her after falling headlong again for Shantelle, but that was after Cinder had got for him six, i mean six good, lively and kicking kids. Two twins among them. Cinder cried her heart out, she was confused, she couldnt return to her people anymore and Regan ‘clubs her with a truncheon’ each time she went to him for help for the children’s upbringing. Regan got married to Shantelle who bore him his legitimate children. Cinder all by herself in a dilapidated building night and day struggled and trained her six kids. Little did Regan know that his wonderful six abandoned kids were his doom. Shantelle’s children had not even a pin of magic in their blood, but the S.a.i.n.t.s, Cinder’s kids were commanders of the universe. One spits fire, the other commands rain, one flies at will, the other tells great secrets and visions, their powers were unlimited”.
Grandpa paused as he smiled at the puzzled Allen.
“Cinder’s children are called the saints? Why?” Allen asked.
Yet another puff and another smile, then he settled down.
“The s.a.i.n.t.s is an acronym of the names of Cinder’s six children…. That the newspapers and the journalists and researchers never understood. They mixed up the whole thing. They said the saints were gods that….they’re all lies, they got it all wrong. All Cinder’s six children were called the S.A.I.N.T.S according to the position of birth!
The first child is Sylva and his twin brother is Aragon – the one you might have heard about. Aragon was very powerful and is still powerful”.
Grandpa continued the story in a very grave and deep voice that sent bout of shudders to Allen’s spines.
“Aragon took over as the head of his siblings because Sylva the first was a cripple, but cripple or no cripple he flew whenever he wanted. He was magic cladded. Sylva did all sorts of things no man ever did, but he was very soft and gentle, a clear character of a god. Aragon his twin also had doses of magic powers more than his younger siblings, but he was very hot tempered and arrogant….”
