It was evening.

Kath-> It's looking scary.

Niel-> Why is it looking so dark from outside?!....no light nothing....is everyone in the palace asleep or what?!

Kath-> I hope Zee, Zen and the sadhu are fine.

Niel-> Lets go inside.

Niel pushed the front door a little and it opened with a creaked sound. Niel went in first. The interior was dark and a little smoky. Kath quickly lit up a light holder from the wall.

Niel-> Hello is anyone here?!

His voice echoed. The only thing the two could hear were their own breathes and heart beats. There was pin drop silence. They started to go ahead holding each other's hands to find somebody.

Kath-> Zee?!...........Z-Zen?!........

Niel-> S-Sadhu?!........

No answer.....they could only hear their voices echoing.

Niel-> I-I think no one's here.....

Kath-> No no...I'm sure everyone is here.....we just have to find them....

Niel-> You t-think everyone is hiding f-from us?! A-re we playing h-hide and seek?!

Niel said with an awkward laugh.

Kath-> No idiot.

Kath made a poker face and continued.

Kath-> Actually it happened earlier also...due to Megha's magic all went unconscious.....maybe its some trick of Megha to trap us....w-we have to be c-careful!

Kath swallowed a lump in throat looking straight into Niel's eyes.

Niel-> Okay soooo?!......h-how should we find them now?!

Kath-> Lets look inside the rooms.

...........

Zee-> W-what's this?!

Zen handed over the light holder to Zee and kneeled down to examine the things. Zee bent down so that Zen could get the light.

Zen-> Its a diary....dad's diary!

Zee-> See these leftover incense sticks.....your dad used to worship here?

Zen-> Maybe....hey Zee.....look here....here are four spells written.

Zee-> "Useful spells"?!

I read out the heading.

Zen-> Y-yes....shall I chant the first o-one?!

Zee-> I-I don't know....I-I hope we won't get into trouble by that?!

Zen-> Zee...we're already in trouble...what more trouble we can get into?!....I-I'm chanting....

Zee-> O-okay!

Zen chanted the first spell and a screen appeared before them...it showed a beautiful hill station.

Zee-> Wow!

Zen-> I-I think we can see anything on it we want to.....lets test....show me a beach.

A beach appeared. Zen looked at me and beamed and I smiled back too.

Zee-> Show us Megha.

The screen turned black and showed nothing.

Zee-> Huh?! S-show us the sadhu.

The screen still showed nothing.
