Sutala was beautiful place. There was an artificial sun which gave the growth to plants there. Dravidian style architecture was prevalent around the place. There was an outer forest. Past the forest was boundary wall. It was the boundary wall to all of Sutala. Sutala was like a planned city.
Several steps were set before the large entrance gate.
"I would like to inquire who you are." One of the guards asked.
"We're here to meet Maharaj Bali." I answered. "I'm Adya Mantri. He would know me."
"Unless you have a previous invitation or an appointment, I can't let you go inside."
"He knows us. He knows we would be here."
"There no Adya Mantri on the list."
"Alaknanda?"
"No."
"Omkara? Akshay? Sonakshi? Harsh?"
"None of them."
"Listen, don't irritate me. We don't have time to argue with you. We need to go meet him."
The guard threw off the list on the table ahead and gave me a nonchalant look. He crossed his arms.
"You can't go inside."
Akshay had far less patience than I did. So, he started shooting arrows. The answer came back from the archers above.
"Guys ... guys..." A voice came, stopping the fight.
Round black and gold sunglasses, long slightly curly hair coming till his shoulders, 6'4 in his height, khakhi pants, khakhi boots, floral yellow shirt, dark skin, on the ring finger was his gold and diamond wedding ring, he wore some gold bracelets, rudraksha and tulsi bead hanging from the gold bracelet. He was built athletic instead of bulky like the other guards. The breast pocket of his shirt held a lotus flower brooch. He wore a specific locket which shined so brightly that anyone can notice it. Its beautiful green glow was eye-catching. He wore a sports watch.
I have never seen a man looking more handsome ever.
"You guys are fighting kids now? They're just children." He chided the guards.
"They wanted to get inside without a Sutala resident proof or an appointment with Maharaj Bali. When I said they can't, they wanted a fight."
"Narayan, we need to get inside. We're sure he knows we're going inside." Akshay requested him.
"Narayan?" Harsh and I exclaimed together.
"Yes. This is Narayan. Or a part of him. He guards Bali's Sutala from anyone wanting to take over or seeking to infiltrate. He's Bali's head of security and his army's commander." Akshay answered. He then looked at Narayan. "Narayan, we really need to go inside and meet Maharaj Bali."
