Most of the stories start with a splendid morning but here it's just the contrary. A morning with dark clouds, thunder, lightning but not a single drop of rain.
And he heard that again, the same voice and same tone and the same word that issued in his dream last night.
Last night he had a dream; a man drinking a glass of wine and died coughing within a minute. And someone screaming "Hing" repeatedly.
Now, it was barren with just a flaming candle and the whisper 'Hing'.
"I don't think it is emanating from the clouds, or maybe." he thought. This thing had been frightening him for about a week and now he was intent to know about it as hell.
So, he explored the internet. It showed up and he began reading.
"Emperor Homaka Gaozu Hing of Chang'an was the emperor of the great Chinese empire from 618 to 626 and then died mysteriously on the way to invade the Nile. Legends say that he was poisoned by one of his ministers."
This looked so creepy that before a minute he didn't know anything about this weird man, then how could he have dreams of this guy? But being scared his yearning to know more got higher.
A curiosity generated inside his mind, he wanted to know everything about it and his dreams, everything it was sneaking.
He widened his eyes, and continued reading "he was a cruel ruler who killed his mercy at the age of 13 when hefought his first battle. He ruled by his tenacity and his very own companionand protector 'The Hins Jiàn' which is believed to be obtained from theMongolian God of war and sky 'Tengri'." Then the feeling he had after reading that was very antagonistic.
"The Tomb of Homaka Hing was named 'The Tomb of Sins' to criticize his cruelty. They even made carvings on the walls illustrating Homaka punishing and torturing his enemies."
"According to legends, he boiled them alive in hot water, sliced them into pieces, and fed them to forest animals."
"He would cut someone's hands if caught stealing, or put a heated iron rod in the belly in the case of murdering a tribe member."
"They even say that the tomb is now underground and the magical weapon Hins Jiàn is still existing there waiting for its master to return."
Oh! Now what to say about that; it was horrific to know.
He was a bit greedy to know more and wanted to go to the tomb and find the weapon.
He couldn't believe that these kinds of things can happen in real life. It was the greatest thing he could know.
But was it somehow connected with him? If yes, then it was a matter to worry about.
