A lot of dead bodies are scattered around the field in the doorsteps of non-Aryans. Recumbent bodies in disorientation on the field today are the feast for the vultures. Benumbed, stir-less bodies of humans lying on the ground in an unfriendly ambiance; circling of predator birds over them, their scavenging – crude and harsh reality in vicinity indeed! Dead and dead all around the land as far as it comes in the vicinity up to, in every possible format one may imagine - Fresh, brisk, musty, rotten – each and every type of bodies around the place. Gathering of flesh-eaters, scavenging birds around these bodies- the naked part of bitter truth.
Four men standing nearby on a low mound were observing the circumstances in the battle ground right ahead. The elder most among them is known as Maharshi Valmiki; he led a vibrant and eventful life. Once upon a time populace of 'Aryabarta' used to shiver in the name of Ratnakar, the infamous outlaw, a Death Incarnate in disguise of a man! Today, who is going to believe that both of these personalities are identical after looking at this cool, calm, gentle sage standing tall right ahead! The outlaw today purged into its altered incarnation – Maharshi Valmiki, the sage. This is a miracle indeed!
-"The end result of war – endless Silence" – Dharmakhshem spoke at last; he is the senior most disciple as well as the chief adviser of Maharshi Valmiki – "and this is what we call -'Silence of the dead'".
Vaalmiki nodded in response, but he didn't speak anything at all.
The youngest and most lively person in the group is SubhaMangal. The person with the bigger mouth who never stops arguing on any topic seemed to lose words and muted off for the moment when the naked truth of death was exposed to him. The loud-mouth lad seemed to stay unspoken for a longer time staring at the face of death lying ahead; after some moments when he was accustomed to his surroundings now he started breathing heavily like a crooked man and asked in a rush-
-"But why such an enormous loss of lives, Maharshi? Who are these guys? What are their identities? Why so many deaths dwelling around?"
