The Epic [ON HOLD]

What his Heart says.....

"Meghnadh! You mean that Meghnadh from the Indian epic Ramayana." Hermione asked, eagerly waiting for the answer.

"Yes. Wait! Do u know Ramayana?" Kripa asked a bit surprised.

"Who doesn't! Ramayana is everywhere . It is translated in so many countries." Annabeth said.

"We dont know!" The rest answered.
" Well we are not so bookaholics like yourself and Hermione here. So just throw some light on what you are talking." Percy exasperatedly asked.

Hermione shot him her usual,honestly you people don't read look.

"Ok Perce I will say it briefly." Annabeth answered."Hero is a prince. He goes to exile with his wife and brother on his father's order. In his exile his wife gets kidnapped by an Asura and she is taken to a far away land. The hero uses help of a monkey king and his army to fight the Asura and ultimately wins."

"Oh! So that Asura is this Meghnadh." Harry asked.
"No his son" Hermione answered for Harry.
"Ok children" Kripa gestured them to stop" you can briefly discuss that in your journey."

"Alright,so where is the place we are heading to?. Could you give me those coordinates." Leo asked the Trainer.

"I cannot give you those coordinates my boy but I can give you this." Kripa answers him and takes out a Flag.

" A FLAG! How can this help. Should I hoist this on my ship and show off to others that: Look! A Fabulous flag on my fantastic ship " Leo asked sarcastically.

" Thats exactly what you have to do. Hoist this on your ship, it will show you the path. To be clear which direction this flag blows that would be your path. It does not depend on the wind factor. It acts like what you people call a compass." Kripa explained to all.

"These things work?"

"Trust me. This one does."

"What's that symbol on the flag. It's looking as half of a full picture."

"It's for your safe journey. The symbol on the flag is a half part of the 'sudarsana shatkona'. It is very powerful, I give you this as it destroys anything evil nearby you and ensures you a safe journey."

"Yeah I think we need one of this type pretty badly because even when we are coming here , there was an attack. So I can imagine what awaits us when we travel to India."

"Exactly...so pack your belongings. You will leave soon." McGonagall orders them and the six wizards and the seven Demigods leaves the room.

"A new dream again! What is happening Arjun? Are you sleeping or dreaming?" Ketan laughs admiring his own nasty joke.

"Yeah That's very funny.... Actually I am doing both"

"And you do it pretty well." Ketan said sarcastically." First you said you saw an old man trying to plot revenge. Now what the old man succeeded."

" You find it so funny. That dream appeared very real and did you forget the goddamn prophecy!. It told something bad is about to happen and now I get these dreams. Don't you think they are connected!

"Ok Ok I accept defeat! Relax and tell me what this new dream is all again. What did u see?" Ketan asked.

"A Ship!" Arjun answered warily.

"WHAT! A SHIP!"

"Yeah....it's really unique, the front part of the ship is some sort of a dragon. It has a flag hoisted on it which seems very familiar."

"Do you know where is it going?"

"No but I sense it is coming towards us."

"How can you say that! Remember you are not a sage, you don't have any out of the box seeing capabilities."

"Yes but My Heart says I am right and that flag .....I know I have seen it somewhere.....YES! That's it."
"What?" Ketan asked curious about the sudden realization which has developed inside Arjun.
"Remember that half flag I was Presented. Guru gave it to me when I defeated Karn in the final round of the Archery Contest.
"Yeah! Yeah! That one....It has got half of the 'Sudarsana shatkona' embedded on it.

"Yep That one! And now this all makes sense. Those guys whoever they are has the other half, that means they are our Allies."

"Arjun! I think you are overstretching your thoughts. What if that is a coincidence. Common! Why can't there be a similar flag! Do you think you are the only one with the flag?"

"No No Ket! Remember the prophecy
The seven and the blessed shall travel to the ancient lands. What if that is them, those people in the ship."

" I can't debate with you" Ketan sighed.

" Then don't....I am leaving now!"

"WHAT! WHERE!"

"Now itself you said you don't debate with me." Arjun joked.

"I said I can't but not I don't" Ketan retorted.

"Oh! Very well then....I am going after that Ship in my dreams. I sense it is coming towards us and I surely know they are our Allies. I'm taking that flag too."

"No! No! You can't! Guru is not here and he gave the responsibility of Ashram to you. You just can't leave us and the Ashram unprotected for finding an unknown thing we don't know if exists or not."

" I am not leaving the Ashram unprotected. You are there, aren't you. Take the responsibility of the Ashram until I come back"

"No No Arjun, you just can't leave me alone with this huge responsibility. I...I .."Ketan stammered searching for words." I can't do this. At least not alone."
"Take someone's help then. A skillful one's. The data regarding the Ashram and it's security systems are in my room,Make sure you take that, it will help you in the maintenance. "

"Yeah! Alright. But Arjun...I.... I still think it isn't a good idea. You would be in danger by crossing this safe boundaries and also you are directly disobeying Guru's orders to look after the Ashram.

"Ket! Ket! I had thought of it all. I will be safe, No problem and before leaving the Ashram ,Guru said me one thing.

"What"

"He said it is unwise to dwell on dreams but following one's heart always gives best results." That means he said me to Follow my Heart. My Heart says to search for that ship and I am going to follow it."

"Didnt I already say I can't argue with you."Ketan sighed understanding that Arjun was determined in his quest.

"Yeah! Wanna try debating again" Arjun joked.

"Take care brother " Ketan hugged him " Don't you dare find any trouble"

"Don't worry Ket " Arjun patted his back "You know I won't"

Ketan chuckled at his response.

" Take care Ketan " Arjun said and left to his room from where he would take the flag and start his journey.
