The Ragnarok

Chapter 1 - The Arrival

Can a human be ever at the par of that a God? Can men be ever immortal? Many a questions were emerging in the mind of trembling Kalki, as of today he was close to uncover those questions and find the unspoken truth of death and life itself. His body quivering and shivering rapidly as if his body would break at any moment in near future. More the steps he took to uncover the truth more he felt uneasy, but his determination and his ambitiousness to find the truth was superior and subdued the pain and the uneasiness he was receiving in exchange. At last, he was there with his hands on the Chest of Wisdom, standing still was the great task his body would have to do. His hands felt the heat of hell as he touched the 'truth' itself. Something must be given in exchange to gain something as in nature itself. His skin shredding off his hands as he started opening the TRUTH, the bright light coming from the eternal deepness of the chest was no less than that of the Sun, his eyes nearly got blind, if not at the right time would have surely blinded him. But his greed to see 'it' made a rather imaginable protective layer around his eyes. Kalki believing in himself started opening his eyes, challenging the mighty sun. 'Wake up, 'Wake up, 'Wake up', Gaudra was shouting as if the Gods themselves had come to give 'AMRIT' to him. "It is already past the time you had told me to come by the Sarovar and here you are sleeping and dreaming of nothing but untruth, now wake up." These words pricking the ears of Kalki and not letting him do that cannot be done by men, Kalki opened his eyes thinking he would find the truth not written in any book, not taught in any school, what he saw was white silk hairs, shrewd eyes, a bit feminine body, not made to fight anyone but rather talk and settle down things.

Kalki got up rubbing his sharp eyes whom many thought were the gift of God Garud, his long undone hairs swinging with his head as he stood up with his massive body like the Himalayas, the scars on his body were the only ornaments he had ever worn in his life. The only mystery to his body he couldn't find was the tattoo on his back which stretched from his left shoulder to the right and down to the bottom. People say that it has been there since the time he was found at the foot of great Mahali Falls which connects the mortal world to the immortal. His name was not given by any man but nature, the cloud thundering 'K', as Lord Indra clapped his hands for the arrival of him; the river 'A', for Holy Mother Ganga singing a lullaby to calm down the crying baby; the breeze whistling 'L', as Vayu Dev was playing such a melodious tune that all the creatures were dancing in joy; the earth crackling 'K', as Goddess Bhumi was requesting him to come and sleep in her beloved hands; the fire erupting 'I', as Agni Dev wanted to give blessings to the newborn; and thus the name 'KALKI' was given to such a majestic child for whom all the five nature's element bestowed.

For Kalki was surprised as what was Gaudra, the hier of Agastya dynasty, one of the major dynasties of the Samali kingdom, was doing there in his home up to the top of the hill, from where the beauty of his village Kanchan was seen at its utmost level. Many could even consider it as the Swarg had come down to earth for the mortals. He asked Gaudra with his absent mind "Why are you here, has something awful happened to you or the village, has they attacked us?" Many a questions aroused in his mind till his thoughts took the shape. Gaudra in response said in a little angry way "You must have forgotten about us meeting at the lake" taking a pause "or not". Kalki rapidly answered as he wanted Gaudra to believe that he remembered about them meeting "Yes, Yes why will I not remember such an important thing", "Then why are you dozing when it is already such past time", " No, No I was just coming, I just slipped my leg and you know it, my head and then all got fuzzy around me and I got fainted". The common lie he would use to get out of situations involving time, one of the major enemies of Kalki. " Ohh please, not that one, it has been 20 years please find a new excuse for your mistakes." "Ok, Ok, sorry it's my mistake I admit it, now shall we mark our ways."

Kalki stepped out from his kutiya(hut), not wearing any clothes on his body from up the waist, his masculine body shining from the bestowing rays of the rising sun, the rock-solid belly would easily challenge iron on its sturdiness, stretching his arms the biceps were as huge as someone's skull. All the females would leave their ongoing work only to see this sight when the sun makes every muscle of his body visible to its utmost deepness. The chillum in his right hand would always be the arrow that pierces the heart of every girl who saw him in that posture. Down from his waist wearing a dhoti(white cloth). Gaudra in a gloomy manner said "See these ladies not doing their work but rather staring at some male's body other than their husband's. These lustful eyes, the reason Satyug had to end, and still, they have not learned any lesson from the past mistakes done. What fools are they!" "Let them be a fool if they find happiness in being one. Now shall we, otherwise your effort to come here would be in vain."

"You know, they are assembling a conference in the Great Himalayas to decide on whether they would exterminate us or not. Many are in favor already." "Shush! not in public." said the serious Kalki whom many not wish to see. "Ok, I'll not." "So what is it you want me to see, hear, feel, taste, smell, or something other than that the five senses cannot interpret to a man?"

"Just Wait"
