He looks around and at the ocean, more calm and relieved that he can return to play with his friends. Then one day, a fisherman tells him perhaps it is only fishermen who can hear the bells, and with that, the boy decides he will study to become a fisherman so that one day he can hear the bells. Fishermen passed by, insisting they had heard them, hoping it would give him a bit of a reprieve. Six months after having talked to the mysterious woman, the boy was still waiting to hear the bells. People tease him for wanting so desperately to hear the bells, yet he never gives up faith that he will hear them one day. The boy becomes obsessed with hearing the bells and loses interest in school, his friends, and family. Even though the island is no longer visible from the village's shore, the people can sometime still hear the bells when the wind whistles through the island.
He asks a fisherman in the village about the island, and he tells the boy there had been a temple on the island, but an earthquake made the building collapse. He does as the mysterious woman tells him to do but does not hear a thing. The temple has many bells, and she tells him it is worth his while to go to the edge of the village and listen for them. At the beginning of the book, the boy is talking to a woman, who tells him the story of an island with a temple. The Warrior of the Light is an enlightening, philosophical book about a young boy's path through spiritual battle.
