The Next Epic

Getting to Know Vish- Aditi

Just as we hopped in the boat, I and Vish were in a very deep conversation.
The way he talked didn't seem that he was a playboy or a flirty guy. He actually was a very sincere guy. He flirted just to find his kind of girl. He also told me that he wanted me to be his bestie, for which I agreed and he started to tell stories about his exes and how foolish all of them were.

But as he was telling about his exes, he also told me that he had a dream about that red-dressed girl and all those heart-shaped things in the background. He told me that since then, where ever he'd go, he'd search for a girl similar to the one in his dreams. The way he described her appearance, I was sure that this guy liked her a lot, and most of the descriptions matched with Pari, the girl in red.

Well in the due course of getting to know him, I also told him that I also used to flirt with lotta unknown guys on social media (just for fun), but one of them had fallen for me and was thinking about marriage and family planning stuff...

Just then Aadi came out of this cabin and shouted, "Will you two, for some time, shut your mouths and let Pari and Pav focus on their practice. Well I know for sure you guys don't practice but LET THEM DO THEIRS".

Then I moved a bit and saw Pari and Pavan, they both were also talking.. to counterattack Aadi's statement, I said "Well I guess you need an eye test! Look there, they both are also talking!!".

Aadi irritably moved back to his cabin.

All of a sudden, the calm sea started to become turbulent, huge waves started arising. Thunder and Lightning everywhere. Pari from the front shouted, "Get ready with your weapons, looks like we've got company!"

I turned to Vish and said, "Vish, you go to the cabin and send Aadi here, keep the boat steady and don't let any rakshasas come into the cabin, here, take your sword!".

I passed his sword to him and he rushed to get Aadi. I took my bow and shot an arrow in the sky just to see if there was really a storm or was a Maya (illusion). It was an illusion, that means, we had got a company. Just then, Aadi came out of his cabin. We both rushed to join the others.

Just as Pari saw me coming, she asked- "Did you check, have we got company?" I nodded.

Aadi: This must be an enchanted serpent following the orders of Kali.
Pari: May or may not be enchanted, we don't know. Pavan, as you are physically the strongest among us, why don't you jump in the water and see.

Pavan instantly jumped into the ocean. After a minute, he came back and said- "I don't know whether it's enchanted, but there are many serpents with weapons, coming towards us. I think all of them are enchanted by Kali." There was silence in the boat. It's true we had divine weapons, but it's impossible for us to kill all the serpents as we were outnumbered.

Just then a Serpent came out of the water and said, "You have entered the waters of Nag Lok, you also have the weapons that can destroy our world, by the orders of King Takshaka you all are hereby arrested."

Just then Vish came out of his cabin, with his sword and his mobile and said, "Guys, we are near Bali, I've Googled the shortest way to reach that Island, and man... Google said the girls in Bali are awesome!!" After saying this statement, he saw the messenger, he took his sword and came running towards the messenger with all his might. That serpent, seeing Vish's action, ordered some soldiers to arrest him. The next moment, Vish had killed one of the soldiers and the other had bitten him on his arm and he fell unconscious.

Pari: "This guy is the most irritating guy I've ever seen in my life!!"
Pav and Aadi: True
Messenger Serpent: You better cooperate with us if your lives are dear to you.
