After 20 Years

Night's Curse: The Nightmare's Secret

Prologue:

Somewhere in Luminara City. Kulveer is sitting inside a house that is half destroyed. He is looking at a photo frame of a woman hanging on the wall. He opens the fridge and brings a bottle of water. He spreads some sprinkles on the ground first then leans there with a cushion. He was drinking water while looking at the sky. The sky was getting pink as it was about to sunset. Kulveer is smiling with his teary eyes.

Mother!

(A voice from nowhere in the darkness behind him.) Yes, son!

It's become pink. You liked this pink sky, right?

I like it even now.

(Take a deep breath.) Mother!

Say, dear.

I am going to meet you soon.

Really? You are coming!

Yes. You know, after destroying the green stone he said I can meet you.

Really? I can't wait to meet my son.

Me too, mother. But something is bothering me.

Like what?

Will killing people make me come to you? You used to hate blood.

That's before the fight. Right now, I love blood. You will complete this mission for me, right?

Yeah. Of course. But...

Is there something else bothering you?

Yeah. That girl, Nayantara.

What about her?

She is beautiful. Actually, the word beautiful feels less in front of her.

Do you like her?

Sort of.

What do you like about her?

Maybe her fate and her courage to challenge it.

What else?

She suffered so much but still, she is trying to protect those cities. She lost everything. How can be she just calm like that?

The people who don't have the power to take revenge get weak like her. She is among the two-faced people.

Really?

Of course. She is just showing calm but inside she also has rage for something. You know, people are unpredictable.

But she is living a normal life even though she is the heir. Am I doing the right thing?

Of course, dear. She just fell before her own emotions. You are strong and independent. You don't need to get emotional or think about these.

Hmm. I will kill everyone and make a way to reach you.

That's my boy.

I hope I was here when you got killed.

I am still here, son. You just need to come to me.

Yes, mother.

But be careful with this generation. They don't show their powers. It can be dangerous for you.

Nothing is dangerous for me now. When you were fighting with Swapan, no one was there to protect you. I will make sure they remember your name. Love you, mother.

Let's get some sleep. (Kulveer falls asleep while the glass of water falls off from his hand and as soon as the sun goes down the color of water changes into red.) You are going to get a bloody win. (Sarcastic Laugh.)
