Obaid's Journey
Cinatas, the sorcerer, picks Obaid to be his student. He wants Obaid to help him with his magic. At first, Obaid is excited. He dreams of having power and being important as the king's next sorcerer.
But soon, Obaid starts to wonder if this is the right path. He meets a very good and wise man. This man helps Obaid understand what is truly important in life.
Seeking the Truth
