Among the thousands of those unstable things, one of them stands tall to charge.
He ran.
Kiri-shama smiled.
The space was filled with unusual noise of grunting, laughing and giggling.
With the sound of a finger snap everything went silent.
"You thought charging at me directly changes anything?"
Kiri-shama pierced its chest and the black thing melted on his hand like the ice pierced by a red-hot knife.
Just like their leader all of them once again became the part of the space.
"This was easy, but what does this mean. Is he still alive?"
Even if he still is but how can he do that and why now? I have to be more careful but for now I should return to the others.
In the divine space. The deities finished analyzing Rudra's powers. Now,
"Looks like Kiri-shama has returned."
Ridhi and Rudra turn to see him.
"You look exhausted. Did something happen?"
"There was a problem, but it has been dealt with."
"What was the problem?"
"Do you remember the unusual energy signature and the unnatural events I asked you to look for?"
"There you go with your conversation, fill us in too."
"Alright. On the planet of humans, there is a forest called 'Vasuvan' in India. I sensed a new energy. So, I observed a lot of people there, some of them are terrified with unknown creatures.
They think they have awakened a sleeping demon and their deities lost their powers while fighting it. They think their lords need help in order to fight evil.
You'll know I know everything, right? But I can't deduce what is happening there."
"And I was told by him to check on this. But the fact is these things or beings are not made be me. So, I cannot find out either what is going on."
"Wow! there is something even we deities can miss too?"
"It has never happened before, not since I took control of creation."
"I need one of you to go between humans and find out what is happening. Vasudha and I need some other matters to attend to so, we can't go."
"I don't want to go either. You go newbie."
"Ridhi….. Stop calling him that."
"Well, I can go but is it okay for me to go?"
"It will be fine, you can do it, new…."
(Lady Vasudha gave her an angry look)
"Do remember one thing Rudra, you need to change into human form and because of the way you evolved even your human form is quite powerful. And one last thing, no killing or rescuing someone in normal circumstances. I know your attitude of destruction but be patient until you grasp the working of divinity."
Rudra landed on Earth in his human form. He wandered around the forest called, Vasuvan. He sensed something unnatural but cannot point his fingers to anything. He found a village and decided to stay and talk to people.
People treated him like a messenger of God and offered him food and place to rest.
"Everything looks so peaceful here. Then what's the story I've heard of this place about some creatures that haunt this forest. Is this true?"
Everyone went silent.
They all glanced at the chief of village and left.
"Where are you all going?"
"Let them be I should tell you;
For almost two centuries, we have been living here peacefully. We worship our deities to let us flourish and live happily. We offer sacrifice to the sacred place at the other corner of forest.
But one unfortunate night, the sacred place was hit by a lightening. It looked like we somehow awaken some demonic king, sleeping within the mother earth. That night,
The sky roared. Clouds wept tears for our misfortune.
In the wind, many trees abandoned this forest like it got cursed.
The priest at sacred place saw ocean water turning into huge serpent to engulf the whole forest.
But our beloved deities didn't abandon us. They took the wrath of demons and have been sleeping from then.
That night we were spared but since then people hear a witch, talking in their head and ask them to come at the sacred place.
People thought it might be some deity but those who went their never returned.
People started to fear the voice and do not want to go there. but anyone who was fool enough not to go there were found dead along with their family."
"So, why don't you people leave this place and go live somewhere else."
"I tried talking sense in these people but they won't listen. They said that our deities protected us and they might need our assistance somehow. How can we leave them for just saving our worthless lives?"
"So, how often did your people hear this witch?"
"Once in a month or so it was before. But for some time, people are hearing from her quite often. Almost once in a week."
"Don't worry old man, I'm here now. I'll find out what happened to your deities."
"Are you sent by our lords to protect us?"
"You can say that. Well, just go to sleep tomorrow is going to be a very long day."
"I was right in trusting you. Our lords will finally be free."
"Don't get your hopes so high, maybe once I am done with your demons there might not be anything to thankful of. Now go to sleep."
