The Epic [ON HOLD]

Indian Demigods

Unknown's P.O.V

The Ancient lands of India was covered by so many dense forests. One of them is the 'Dandakaranya' present in the Eastern Ghats along the states of Chhattishgarh, Orissa and AndhraPradesh in India. I live there in an 'Ashram'(it is a place where in past children go there and live for years for education purpose) located along the 'Mahendragiri'hill, run by guru 'ParusuRama' my teacher and our Ashram is magically concealed from the normal people out there in the present modern world.
Are you wondering who I am after listening these words?. Well my name is 'Arjun'. I am the son of Lord Indra, the King of the Devas. So I am half human, half Deva and there are people like me who are children of Devas. So we are technically Demigods. We all live together in this very same Ashram. Naturally the Monsters come finding us to kill us, so we live here in the Ashram which protects us from the Monsters and our Guru 'Parusurama' is an immortal and was an Incarnation of Lord Vishnu, the God of the Gods. So naturally the monsters are hugely afraid of him. Thereby they doesn't even get to the boundaries of our Ashram, but if we cross our boundaries and go far, the monsters may attack us. Now, at the present moment I was under attack. A 'Berund'( a bird with two heads) is behind me trying to catch hold of me, but I was quick. I went out to the city nearby but on my way back, I was attacked. I was running very speed and 2 other Berunds has joined the chase. I quickened my pace, taking the support of the trees nearby jumped in the air very high sliding above the three creatures. I closed my eyes concentrating on my divine Bow and Arrow. It appeared and I shooted an arrow which hit one of them transforming it into dust. The second one managed somehow to escape the arrow. I landed on the ground and darted towards it with the creature also storming towards me. I ducked just in time it attacked and shooted an arrow which turned it into dust.
Then the third one got really furious and ferociously started chasing me. I ran fast thinking to find a way to strike. There is a waterfall along this way. Generally we avoid this route as we have to jump from one end of it to the other. But in this situation I have to take that way.

I quickly reached the waterfall and jumped with my bow and arrow aimed at the Gandabherunda chasing me and shooted at it with such accuracy that the arrow hit the middle of its forehead and it turned into dust.

I was falling down and landed on a branch of a tree with such force that again i went into the air and this time catching the branch of a tree at the other end of the waterfall which i intended to reach. I landed on the other end and quickly went to my Ashram.
************************************
Our Ashram is located in centre of the woods. I passed the familiar force field which only we students can enter. As soon as I stepped into the Ashram, i was greeted by my friend 'Ketan', son of Lord Vayu, God of the winds. "Where have you been?"
"Just went into the city" I replied.
"You could have informed anyone! Clearly we dont want our best warrior to get into trouble."
"I dont get into Trouble my friend. Trouble always finds me."
"Were you attacked" Ketan asked shocked.
"Yeah! Naturally"
"Oh god! You have to tell this to our Guru. Again the attacks have been started."
"Ok Ok come on then, we shall inform what has happened." I said.
We both went to our Guru's room and there he was performing the Dhyana( Meditation) sitting in the air.
"GuruDeva" I started.
He slowly opened his eyes.
"Three on One. Am i right Arjun" Guru ParusuRam spoke calmly.
"Yes Gurudeva but i destroyed them"
"I can sense it my boy. The attacks are increasing day by day. I am afraid the Asura is on his way to raise."
"Who is it?"
"You will know but before we get to it I should say you something. A prophecy is made about this. Exactly the same is happening, the stirring in the 'Paatala'(Underworld) is an evidence to it.
"What is the prophecy Guru?"
" The Seven and the Blessed shall go to the Ancient Lands.
The Nature's opus shall transform to suit the saviour's hands
Indra's biggest nemesis shall raise again
and shall only be doomed by the divine.
The Emperor's son rides alone
in the place that echoes the sound of the sun

"Hmm Is it gonna be bad" Ketan asked
"Well May be because the demon is worse" Guru replied.
"Worse?"
"He knows Everything. He has unmatched Power, Intelligence, Cruelity, and mainly he hates Devas."Guru answered.
"Okay who are the seven and the blessed?" I asked
"A good question. Long ago your father gave the reins of the west side of the earth,mainly the ancient Greece to some and provided them with powers of controlling the nature just for easy administration of the earth. They became the greek gods and they too have childrens with mortals who are known as Demigods.
Recently they had a prophecy about seven demigods who helped to win their war against evil. As now the upcoming war is still bigger, we need even those demigod's help and those seven will be arriving first." Guru answered.
"Hmm Sounds Interesting...and who are the blessed."Ketan asked.
"Lord Indra blessed some mortals and they became the first wizards and witches. These people settled in Europe centuries ago and even had a war recently I guess. I think the main heroes of that war may be coming with these seven. So they are the blessed." Guru again answered patiently.
"Then what is Nature's...." Ketan started to say but was cut off by Guru
"I think you have some training to attend children of Indra and Vayu. We shall talk about this Prophecy later. Now you may leave."

We nodded and left the room leaving Guru continuing his Dhyana.
"A war that too with a powerful Asura. I think things are going to be real tough from now."Ketan said to me.
"Yeah I suppose. But we have to work on the Prophecy, shall crack the meaning of it together, find what it means. It shall give us the edge in the war." I said.
"Certainly but first let us get into training shall we?" Ketan said with hand on his scabbard and a mischievous smile on his face.
"Yeah sure" I replied unsheating my sword
We started to fight each other, first it started as a friendly fight but as the fight moved on it turned into a battle.
I am good at Archery and Ketan is good at Sword fight, so clearly he has a slight edge over me. As the fight moved on the others students stood around us just to watch the fight between the two best students of the Ashram.
At last a small mistake was made by me and the next second my sword was out of reach with Ketan's sword pointed at me.
"Okay Ket you won" I said "but its gonna be vice versa next time"
"He sheated his sword and patted my back and said "Shall See"
After this fierce fight we went for Lunch and someone bumped into me, purposely i may add.
"Watch your step Arjun" He told me coldly.
It is 'Karn', son of Lord Surya, the sun god. For every person like me there must be a Rival who is matched equally to me and he is the one.
"You's the one who bumped into me Karn" I said angrily.
"Hoo Arjun is angry. What shall you do?" His voice full of sarcasm" Taste another defeat, this time in my hands." He added.
"We'll see. Take out your bow. Lets go a few rounds" I said. My voice dripping with Rage and Anger.
"Hey Hey lets stop this fight okay, we are classmates. We must not be like this. Karn, please and Arjun come with me." Ketan interrupted us and dragged me from that place.
"I would have taught him a good lesson if you did not drag me out from there." I told Ketan angrily.
"You both would have gotten another Punishment if i didn't take you from there." Ketan said.
"He is the one who every time starts a quarrel. Ofcourse I doesn't believe him either, even you saw how he talks ill about our fathers,even his father."
"Enough! Just leave that topic okay. Lets have Lunch and figure out the prophecy."
"Yeah! Lets go".
