As i told you earlier in the morning about the dream, in my dream i saw that creature again, as real as it has been a few days ago. With the cuts on it's chest already half healed but he looked scarier than before, more rage in his face, it was running in some Forest, maybe hunting for something. I woke up however before i could know anything.
In the afternoon i was with my mom at home , she had came for lunch as she always dose .
We heard a soft knock on the door but as i started to go to the door to upon it, my gut had this feeling like someone was saying don't do it.
I've never before felt like it , so i did the smart thing and got the window to see who's at the door and what i saw made every hair on my body to chill as i saw the same Naga there looking more human but still some features were showing, like it was trying to look Human i didn't know what to do, my mom was in the kitchen and i knew even if we ran from the back door my mom would never be able to outrun it.
I went to mom and told her there's a monster at our door and apparently she just nodded and accepted it without question, maybe because of the look on my face. She started to chant something, I've studied enough Sanskrit to Know she was chanting a spell in it after a few minutes a repel of energy went all around the house , like the air itself got thicker and again without answering my questions my mom started chanting another spell after a few minutes she said "Help should be on thair way, do not panic! Myths are real" i had figured out that myself by that time but still nodded. The knocks on our door have stopped and my mom's gestures told me to stay silent.
I slowly went to the window and tried to see what's outside or is it still there. My mom had told me that after that spell it shouldn't be able to enter the house with any force. I was trying to see where it is now that's when i saw something.
A strange figure in the sky, getting larger by every passing moment and in just few seconds i behold the singht of to girls on a single horse which was running on the sky.
It wasn't flying but running like there was a surface there and as the came close i Wondered that why isn't anyone else noticing a flying horse and a ugly monster.
Both girls had full worrier outfits on, the girl at front had a helmet which covered her whole face, giving away only her eyes and mouth, she had the horse in her control with her hands, i could see a sword tucked to her belt and a bow at her back.
The girl behind had a helmet too but this one wasn't covering the whole face but rather just up to her forehead and going down from behind her ears, her face full of life and she had her bow out and an arrow already prepared to shoot anytime and i saw it as her arrow fired with amazing accuracy and hit the Naga's chest, going right though it and to the other side, before i could blink another arrow was ready but this one gloving with light, her arrow fired but didn't hit the Naga as It has already just disappeared, like a shadow in the darkness .
Both landed on our roof as it has quite good space and first went to my mom
"Did you asked for help ? " The girl who had fired the arrow asked and as my mother responded in approval she jerkrd her head to me and asked
"Is he your son ? Who is his father"
A question which i avoided as much as i can and knew no answer too, but my mom responded with
" He's the son of Shiva" and at that girl's face have gone to total surprise and i could see her legs started to tremble, as she might have seen a ghost but i doubted she'll react to that as she has just almost killed a monster double her size.
"Is he truly the son of The Shiva" my mother nodded to it.
And that's when in struck me that my mother wasn't talking about some Human named Shiva but the God of Gods themselves The Shiva and as if the the ground under my feet left it's place
I was son of the god Shiva
