"Alaknanda, don't be foolish. Forfeit out of this right now." Mayura tried to tell me.
"Mayura, I gave Raj my word. I will save him. He saved my life twice and I will do so twice. I did once when he was captured earlier. I will do so again when your king has made it clear that he has to fight his chosen warriors to save himself. He can choose a fighter for himself. He has no one else to fight for him."
"Alaknanda, what will you do when Virat himself comes to fight?"
"Die."
"Alaknanda, this is suicide."
"Alaknanda, from now on, you are one of us. Let us fight on your behalf." Ajit offered.
"Why? Look at yourself. You don't strike to me any different than Virat. Why should I be one of you who kills without a conscience. You are no devansh, Ajit. You are just a killing machine. Virat kills without caring for right and wrong. So do you. I'm not like you. You and I are far different from each other."
"Even Guru Parshuram has killed the Kshatriya clan to clean the earth. I am following the same path." He pointed out.
"That is a path that he gave up when he met Rama. The ideal idea of establishing dharma isn't going on a killing spree and killing all the daityas, danavas and rakshasas. It is killing those who do not want to change even after being given chances to correct their behavior. Ask Guru Parshuram and he will also tell you that such rage is futile when it harms us." I told him.
I looked at Maharaj Bali.
"Tell me I'm doing wrong," I told him. He chuckled. He put his hand on my head.
"I was willing give away everything I own for the sake of the word I gave. A Kshatriya who once gives a word should fulfil it. I had offered my own head to Sri Hari for the fulfilment of my word. This fight might as well be the last time you will live. I know that much. Virat doesn't come without a plan. But nor do you. What are you thinking? Something is cooking in your mind."
"Virat doesn't care for Raj. Raj isn't of any specific importance to him. Think of it. He is only so strongly behind Raj because of me. While I get myself into this, it will distract everyone. That is the only opportunity you have to send Raj out of here from Patala to Earth. I have already told Raj what to do. He has gotten it well."
"Alaknanda, you are willing to die for this?"
"Yes. Devansh have forever laid down their lives for dharma. What am I? Once the news of my death reaches my father, Sona, and Harsh, that is when a troublesome time begins for Virat. It will push my dad to fight Virat. Till now he had sat down in the side path. Shukracharya, however grey he is, he cannot look my mother in the eye again knowing that his own student killed her daughter. At some day maa is supposed to regain her memory. Then even Shukracharya cannot save Virat."
