Tale of the unknown

GATES

Thud sound could be heard , someone had fell down just beside her , she lay unconscious on the the floor . It had been in an hour since she was trying to to convince her body to gather strength. Him falling beside her could be felt but her body could not seem to recover from the harsh strike that she had faced on her head in the portal .

Her POV:

I guess it had been approximately an hour or so I have been laying here unconscious and an hour trying to get out of the strike that I've felt on my head . Every time I would apply a little more pressure I would fall back on the ground. The feeling on weakness felt new to me ; not the good way though.

I felt something.... someone fall beside me , Shiv , I knew it that it could be no one other than him at this moment. I felt much better now , I tried sitting straight on the sandy ground , and dusted my hands once I succeeded in doing so .

The next thing I knew was , I was checking on Shiv to check for any injuries and if he's fine or not , he did not seem to have any injuries but his face was pale , might be because of the dizziness. I lightly tapped his face and tried to make him sit . But it didn't look like man is going to wake up any soon. It appeared as is he was in deep & uncomfortable slumber . I thought to let him wake on his own and sit beside him . But we were in the middle a large area . In fact I hadn't looked around since I woke up .

—————

If was a big gigantic place , like a kingdom. There were many houses aligned beside each other , but there was something unusual about them , they were all the same ; guess it was a contractor who had his hands in this . Slanting slopes as roofs ; brownish red in colour. The houses had a dark shade of red covering them and the doors were oddly quit similar in shape and colour with that of the gigantic ones, the size was the only difference. There was something wrong with these houses ........... they didn't have a single window. And that clearly meant that these houses are not places were people stay they are here for a different purpose, may be of profit or benefit to the ones who made them .

Who lives in houses without windows oh god , that must be damn suffocating.

I heard a light rustle behind me . And then it took a hold of my hand . No screaming. It was  Shiv , who else would it be .

"You alright?" A concern laced through my tone . Still waiting for him to respond.

"Hmm," he hummed in response. He didn't have the consciousness to form a verbal reply , but that's fine , at least I know that he's alright.

He stood up so did she . She got on her knees and signalled him to do the same to make an attempt to stand up .

Putting her hands on her knees and pressuring  them on it , it took her a lot of energy to stand up ,as if the stroke had drained all of the energy from her body . She forwarded her hand to him to , to help him get up . He gave in and her his hands in hers and , she fell just beside him in the snap of a movement.

"Suryavanshi!" a light whisper came out of her lips due to the jolt that occurred due to the occurrence of the action . "Sorry" a tone lighter than hers but apologetic and care filled. A light chuckle left her lips , and his deep throat laugh followed soon after and for the glimpse of a moment filled the empty environment.

After moments of silence he stood up and took a look of their surroundings . He his hand out to her ; who was dusting the dirt off of her clothes.

"What's this place and where's the PRIEST?"
His voice laced with annoyance as he thought it was some kind of a joke , which was being played on them .

"I don't know the answer to either of those."

"Manyataa let's find a way out of this place .B-but wait did u too feel dizziness before falling here and a strong sand storm while we were at the gates of the temple and a strong hit on the head before falling unconscious."

"Yes?Shiv could it be that we are kidnapped!"

"It isn't the question of a could or a can , wee are kidnapped and I don't have any idea where's the gate. It's just a vast stretch of land with sand and windowless houses?"

That's when it clicked her , the odd feeling that she had when the saw the huts was because they didn't have windows.

"Let's try knocking on the doors, to see what is on the inside. And we'd be lucky if someone answers."

"Shiv , promise me that this isn't some prank going on because I am strong enough , but I might cry ." Her was filled with utter sincerity, which meant that she was uncomfortable with what was going on and she might cry .

"Trust me , I know you do not like pranks and I would never dare pull any which would make you cry . And , heyy don't worry we'll be out of this in a jiffy ." He said , with all of the assurance he had in him .

Shiv

I really didn't know what was going on when I woke up . I felt equally uncomfortable when I woke up . But her thinking that I was trying to pull a prank , was the last thing I'd do . The barely 5"1 lady and me scarring her is an awful idea to even think of , the way she'd pass me daggers through those boba eyed pearls would make me regret my entire existence.

But this tone that she's talking to me with today after the entire stunt has pulled has made me realise that we need to find a way out .

Lord I've never prayed to you, I did when Dadi was there but the custom went away with her . But today I pray to you to please find me a door , which would lead to a safe place .

I was done praying to god to listen to the prayer that I made after a long whole while .

And I felt a grip on my hand .

Oh it's my lady .
