It all started in 2025. Our planet had recently recovered from a pandemic which took away thousands of lives but still.......we all survived and life came back to normal after many efforts of ours and our world leaders. But who knew that this pandem...
The rocks below their feet were completely black and so was the terrain of every other part of land on which they laid eyes. The sky was completely red, just a shade or two lighter than that of blood. And between the red sky and dark terrain, Naglok shimmered in all it's valour.

'Brahmand ka saara dhan aur vaibhav toh patal lok mein hi bss gaya hai.' (All the riches of the universe are with Patal lok!) Mheem commented and Umika and Khyati agreed. Mrityunjay didn't hear him because his ears were able to catch something.
'Mrityunjay-' Mrityunjay showed Umika his hand and gestured them to hear properly. They did and heard something faintly. Mrityunjay started walking towards the city's entrance and they all followed.
Once they entered the city the sound was much prominent and it was echoing in the whole city while the habitats followed their regular routines as if habitual of hearing it. First, no body noticed them since they looked very much like them but then everyone stopped and fixed their gazes on them.
(I hail the Lord who has strong golden arms, Lord with radiant complexion, the one whose form is radiant, the Lord of all divine radiant things, Husband of Ambika,Husband of Uma, My salutations to the Lord of all animals!)
Something lit in Mrityunjay's eyes hearing the salutations and ignoring all the gazes on him, he started walking inside the city as if it's not his first time here. His three companions looked at each other then gazed at his back and followed him.
Umika, Mheem and Khyati just observed the humans-like serpent people of Naglok, as they made way for Mrityunjay and three of them while they proceeded to move inside. The eyes of people were lost, looking directly at Mrityunjay as he kept his stare ahead, not looking at anyone, just following the chants.
First Umika didn't understand why everyone was looking at him like that, then as she thought more, she got her answer. Mrityunjay, unlike anyone she has ever met, had a prominent fragrance- a mix of camphor, night jasmines and sandalwood. And these fragrances are known to lure all senses of Mata Kadru's children. She was unknown to any other reason and found this the only suitable one.
Far in the Palace of Naglok, Kaliya Nag and Takshak Nag along with their wives and other brothers, watched their mother acting paranoid and at the same time fighting the strange kind of hypnotism that was taking over them through the air.
'Hua kya hai Maa?!' (What happened Maa?) Takshak finally shook her violently.
Her voice and face seemed like she would pass away through attack of emotions any time. She was silent for sometime, probably gathering words or courage for speaking.
