"Immediately call for the army, Pitamabra. I will postpone the war."
"I am sorry my lord. It is of no use. The army has not been trained for years. We were all dependent on your powers that we never prepared a backup. And Guru Achalanda had told us about it at the last moment."
"Asrasya, what stops you? You may begin your attack." Dvijesh shouts from the other end of Kali Ghat.
Asrasya moves towards his opponent and his army.
"Brother, I have decided not to attack you and your kingdom. But be ware, I haven't done so now, doesn't mean I won't do so in the future. This war is dismissed. "
Guru Achlanda, you have not done me right. Asrasya thinks over.
----------
"Why did King Asrasya, dismiss the war. And did you see? There was not a single armed soldier on his side except for his Maha Mantri and a few companions. I am very sure that he had planned something that didn't work out well." Kutumbh says.
"You are right Kutumbh ji. And we must find out what it was."
----------
"Where is Guru Achalanda right now? "Asrasya demands to know.
"In the mountains of Manglagiri, my lord." Comes the reply.
--------
"Guru Achalanda! Where are you? I want to speak to you right now. " Asrasya shouts out loud, enough for the dead to hear.
He walks towards the colossal Shivalinga. Under the feet of it, stands Guru Achalanda, offering dhaturas (favourite flowers of Lord Shiva) to the linga and mummuring some mantras .
"Guru Achlanda! Where have you been? I have been looking for you every where! Why didn't you ever tell me that my powers could not effect Dvijesh at all? Why did you send the messenger to the war field at the end moment?"
"Why didn't you ever tell me that you were attacking Suryaketu, Asrasya? " Guru Achalanda shouts at a higher tone, clearly showing who has the authority.
"How could you do such a foolish thing, Asrasya? Aren't you favouring the Suryavir dynasty? How could you attack the origin of the Suryavirs? Why don't you understand that the ancestors of the Chandravirs and Suryavirs had switched their kingdoms for a big reason?"
"Exactly! I don't understand why! Chandravirs were to live in Chandraketu and Suryavirs in Suryaketu. But why did the ancestors of the two warrior dynasties switch kingdoms? Tell me the answer, Guruvar. Please."
"Of course. "
