The Next Epic

Shambala -Vish

The next day, Acharya told that we would be going to Shambhala. Acharya also asked me to call my serpent friends.
As instructed by Acharya, I called my serpent friend who could transport us to the city. Within seconds we were at a valley. Acharya recited some mantra and suddenly....we were at the entrance of the city Shambhala. A huge door, fully in ruins stood in front of us...

Acharya turned towards us and said, "The work of Kali's allies". As we entered it, there were damaged houses being repaired everywhere. A chariot came and stopped in front of us, Acharya asked all of us to get on it. Casting my sight everywhere all I could see were ruined forts, wounded soldiers, blood spots. The charioteer told Acharya that Kali's forces had struck another time completely destroying the outskirts of the city including army settlements. The count of the soldiers was reduced by half. After some time, we reached the inner city which was half destroyed thanks to the fall of the airforce. Going through some important wide streets, we reached the King's Palace. 

Now, this was the only thing that was not in ruins. The whole building was made of gold and its peak was made of diamonds making the whole palace's background full of Aura. This gave the palace a spectacular look. 

There, we were welcomed by the King himself who was waiting near the gates of the palace. He did a sashtang namaskar to Acharya and also washed his feet and welcomed him inside his palace. As we came into the court, all the ministers of the court welcomed us by sprinkling petals on us. In front of us was a high raised golden throne that had diamonds and many other rare stones attached to it. As we came near, all 5 of us were made to sit with the ministers while Acharya given a seat in the high raised podium. 

The King started, "I would like to welcome the great Maharshi Veda Vyasa to our palace." The king did a namaskar from his throne to Acharya. HE continued, "I also would like to introduce Vishnu, Aditya, Pavan, Prerna, and Aditi- The five warriors trained by Maharshi Veda Vyasa to Shambhala." Then the King turned towards us and said, "You people must be tired, why don't you go and rest!" He called his servants to show us our rooms.

The rooms were just awesome, huge. My room was located right next to the King's room and next to mine ws Pari's room. On the other side of the wing were Acharyas', Aadi's, Pav's and Aditi's rooms. 

As I showered and came back, the King asked all of us to join him for dinner. We all had a great feast and the food was just mind blowing. After dinner, Acharya said, "Students, it's time for me to leave, from here onwards it's in your hands to protect this city and the world." Aditi interrupted and asked, "But acharya, why leave now, you can also help us in the war?". Acharya said, "Aditi, there a proper time given for a person to come in your life and leave. Now, this is the time for me to leave you. Students remember the reason why you were called here and given training for. Fulfill your duty. After the war ends, I have to come here but in another form. From tomorrow onwards you people have to defend the city. There will be many attacks made to destroy the city."

Saying so, he turned towards me and asked, "Vishnu, will you accompany me till the gate of Shambala?" I agreed and we started walking.

"Vishnu, I know you very well. I know what Narad Muni said to you that day. I know what the conversation was between you and Arjun also. I know the reason why you are training hard. I know you want to save. But it is inevitable. You can't!! That is how its end is written."
I thought to argue, but I felt helpless. Seeing my silence, Acharya continued, "Vishnu, whatever comes, try your best to save. Do not give up. Learn to trust on yourself more than your weapon. Here, take this.." He gave a huge shield "This will protect you in the battle.."

As we reached the main gate, Acharya said, "Vishnu, to solve a problem, you need to go to its root" After a while he said, "Vishnu, you will have to face more dangers than others. The path you've chosen will give you a lot of troubles. Be strong enough to face them and not to retrieve back. To be honest with you, even I didn't expect such a thing to happen. This a total unexpected road where we all are traveling now. Nothing of these things were ever meant to happen, you were never meant to be here, never meant to meet me or any of your friends in the palace, never meant to even see this city, this city was never meant to be spotted by Kali's allies even Kali's Allies were never supposed to exist."

"Also remember Vish, Kali has space-time dilation tech, that means, the rakshasa that you kill once here, can again come to attack this place. Kali, using this tech can revive the rakshasa. Which indirectly means that Kali's army is immortal. Until and unless he has that tech, he cannot be defeated. REMEMBER THIS..."

Saying so, Acharya vanished...

I returned back to the palace with a lot of knowledge.....
