The Rising Phoenix // Vani Fanfiction

#94. Mystery

Nikhil grabbed Bani by her throat. She was already stabbed by a dagger which was laced with venom from vultures. It didn't help that Bani wasn't completely in her senses. It would take a litter longer until Bani can completely regain her senses. She was slowly getting up from the effect of alcohol.

"Abh tumhe khatam karke main apna maksad pura karunga. Tumhe maarne ke baad Veer ki dhal toot jaayegi." Nikhil growled.

"Nikhil...." Veer stood in his human cheel form there. His wings were missing but the menacing look on his face was familiar. His fists were clenched. It was a moment and the Parikshit Family showed up to support Nikhil.

A fight broke out. All the Singhanias fighting against Parikshits. Veer dashed up towards Nikhil. Nikhil flew up. Veer couldn't fly. Nikhil dived down towards Veer to attack him. Veer dodged it. He took a turn and grabbed Nikhil in a headlock. Nikhil flew up. Flying in a swirling motion was making Veer lose his balance. He fell down. His eyes staring at Nikhil who laughed while flying in the air.

"Pata hai tum mein aur mujh mein characteristic difference kya hai? Tumhare paas itni akal hai hi nahi." Veer taunted Nikhil. Veer pulled out Gandhak Patthar from his pocket. Nikhil could try and take the position forcefully but he cannot be what Veer is by blood.

The greatest trait of Garud vansh is their never-ending courage, determination, and willpower. They've made their mind to do something, then they will do it. Everyone believed that stealing Amrit from the gods would be impossible but Garud did it. He did steal the pot of Amrit from Amravati and bring it down to earth. He brought it for his stepbrothers/cousins. Yet, didn't let even a drop of it reach them. Veer embodied the trait. That is why the very sky would bend to his will.

The wind blew violently around the place like it was a storm. The wind blew so violently and in a fashion that it was impossible for Nikhil to fly in that wind. It was so unbalanced that his wings couldn't maintain the balance. It blew in a zigzag fashion.

Nikhil fell down to the ground. Veer was about to attack Nikhil when he was tackled by Nikhil's brothers. Veer twirled his dagger and stabbed him.

"Tumhare bhai ne mere pankh cheen liye but yeh bhul gaya ki panje abhi hai. Ek cheel jiske pankh nikaal liye ho, woh zyaada aggressive hota hai. Jab itni takat na ho usse ladne ki toh panga nahi lena chahiye." Veer growled. He attacked viciously with his talons. Deep gashes were left on him. Veer crashed him against the bar counter.

When the whole situation seemed to take a bow towards Veer's victory, Nikhil knew he has to run. Nikhil kicked Veer and took off flying. Daksh and Ponky tried to follow him but Veer stopped them.

"Daksh, Ponky, chodo." Veer told them.

"Veer bhai, seriously? Humne aaj tak use nahi choda jisne humari family ko hurt karne ki koshish ki hai. Aaj chod rahe hai? Kyu?" Daksh felt angry. It was long overdue now. He wanted to avenge all that Nikhil had done to Veer.

"Har cheez ka ek time hota hai, Daksh. No one is leaving them. We're just prepping for a hunt. Jo ladai chod ke bhaag jaaye woh Veeranshu Singhania nahi. Aur jo bewakoofi na kare woh Nikhil Parikshit nahi. Haath lagega hi at some point. But the important thing here is that kal humare Tapish bhai ki shaadi hai and kal koi gadbad nahi honi chahiye. Let's not ruin this for him." Veer told them.

"Aise hi kitni baar humne use jaane diya hai, Veer bhai." Daksh complained.

"Exactly... I can't believe you just let him go? Jis Veer Singhania ko main jaanti hun, abh tak toh uske ghar pe jaake uski chutti kar di hoti." Vanshika agreed.

"You're drunk. So, that is invalid." Sam teased her.

"Excuse me? Tum ho kon commentary dene wale. And by the way, tum yahan kyu ho? Could have gone with ex-girlfriend. Badi Khushi tumhe use dekh ke." Vanshika commented. She staggered ahead towards him and poked his chest with a finger. Sam laughed. Her eyes were green Naagin eyes.
