Umika stared at all the Saptrishis from behind as the four of them followed them as they had asked them to do. First Maharishi Markandey and now Saptrishis. For Umika it was like the great heroes, about whom she had read in her childhood, jumped straight out of the books.

Maharishi Atri's pleasant nature was very much visible on his face and in his way of speaking. The father of Chandra dev was very much like the said-to-be soothing rays of his son.

Maharishi Vashishth was soft from both outside and inside. The Guru of Suryavanshi Ram was as compassionate by nature as Ram himself

Maharishi Vishwamitra, a Rajrishi, had a firmness in his gestures and eyes. The same firmness by which the Gaytri Mantra wounded around the whole universe when recited by him. But his nature was just like Maharishi Vashishth. Yes they were enemies at some point of time but now they both looked like brothers- Two brothers who shaped the life of Narayan in his Ram avtaar at different stages of his life.

Mahamuni Bhardawaj had the perfect look of a Vedic scientist- face held the calmness of knowledge yet eyes always curious to find something new. A carefree smile always adorned his face, yet the one who taught economics to humans, also takes calculative steps.

Maharishi Jamadagni was the one who seemed to be the kind of person who gets angry really fast. The great warrior-sage's gestures and eyes both spoke of the sad story of many Adharmis whom he had slayed. Even a glance at him could tell us from where Bhagwan Parshuram gets his power of anger.

Maharishi Gautam's benevolence was very much visible. The power of his penance was so much that it bound even the God of all Gods in Trimbhkeshwar jyotirling so that he can make Ganga flow in that region from his locks. Such is the valour of his soul's purity that Moksh-Dayani used to take pride in being called Gautami

And then there was her Kul-pita.............Maharishi Kashyap. He was just like what an ideal father is- compassionate, caring and protective.

Unaware of the tears that were falling down from the eyes of Saptrishi, the four friends continued following them in the forest.

They reached near a dark cave with a small water stream coming out of it. The sages went inside. Mheem went ahead, then both the girls and then Mrityunjay to protect them from behind.

The cave was long and very dark. As Umika was walking aimlessly along the length of the cave, she could feel a warm glow coming from behind her. Umika stopped and turned only to find the middle of Mrityunjay's forehead as the source of the warm glow.

Mrityunjay frowned a little as she had stopped suddenly and was staring up at him, not particularly at him but his head.

Umika stared at the source of the radiance. She could feel that limitless power resides there but how?
