THE EMBODIMENT OF TERROR-I

THE TRUTH OF THE BLACK THING

Moksh found himself lying on the bench of his apartment zone and wondered, 'what happened to me and why I am here on this bench? I remembered I was fighting someone...'

The next moment he got his eyes in a piece of paper kept beside him, he opened with haste and was utterly shocked after reading the contents of the letter; it states:

"You want to know about the black thing?

Meet me

after college."

He went towards the block where his flat is; it was 10:30 PM. Moksh knew his parents were going to kill him, and that's what exactly happened even though he gave them obvious excuses about the well-known Delhi traffic and Politicians' car superiority on roads. He had his dinner by 11:30 PM and went back to his room, and his mind went into deep thoughts of confusion. "What is this? a woman attacking me out of nowhere; this piece of laying beside me and the scariest part, I'm sure that I jumped off the terrace. Still, how could I survive and, on the contrary, attain this Power? Why does that woman call me a calamity?!"

"FUCK!!" he screamed and tumbled on the bed.

THE NEXT MORNING

8:00 AM

Moksh got ready for college and came down for breakfast; as usual, the morning news was going on tv. Suddenly, something caught his attention towards the tv, mainly the anchor's quoting.

"There is a large crater approximately 3m in radius

and depth of 5m; even an iron rod stabbed in an

upright position." Then an astrologer appeared in a panel and started to enunciate, "This is God's Judgment! for harming and exploiting the mother for decades!" Moksh sighed and thought, "God's judgment, My ass! I hmph, this clatter was made by me!" he completed his breakfast and moved out for his college.

When he reached, everything was normal, Aardhya and Yash were both hospitalised, but they kept their mouth shut because if they complained about this, they would unveil their crime too, which would doom their life and standing well. The whole schedule

for Moksh as he could move his arm fluidly without any hiccups, and his illustrations were even better than before

The college got over, and he noticed a suspicious-looking man waiting outside the college and suddenly remembered the paper's content and approached him. "Umm... excuse me." He said hesitantly, "Yes, let's move now", Man replied and started to walk forward; Moksh too started following as he had lots of questions to ask. They just walked continuously without exchanging any wordings and travelled by bus too, and it stopped at Sultanpuri. It's a slum area in the parts of old Delhi.

The man unlocks the door and welcomes Moksh inside, and both of them sit on the two chairs lying around. He initiated the conversation, "Umm... let me get myself straight, you know about the black thing, isn't it?" The man just sat without answering his query and said, "Start your Aura flow." Moksh was taken back by this and mumbled, "Aura? What?" The man said repeats himself, "that black thing, boy!'

He concentrated a bit, and automatically, the black thing started hovering, and the old man said quite thoughtfully, "hmm... your aura flow is crude; it seems like the place where Aura accumulates was pretty damaged badly." Moksh was stunned by his answer and supposed, 'With just a single glance, he was able to tell I received heavy injuries.' The man talked again, "boy, you want to know about this power; let me tell you what's this power is and how it got created."

The man started the narration:-

MANY CENTURIES AGO

The three gods of the universe
