[...Thedaylight is dying out, Maharshi, should we stop to take a rest tonight now?]
Daylight is almost drying out. The attendant to Maharshi Valmiki's hut lit some lamps and candles in the room. The disciples left the place one by one for the night; they will join tomorrow again. Both the sages had their evening rituals done; now they are sitting inside the room face to face. Maharshi Valmiki seems to be a little bit of... concerned and thoughtful now. Maharshi Markendeya just observing him quietly and calmly.
-"What are you thinking, Maharshi?" Maharshi Markendeya finally asked Maharshi Valmiki.
-"Everything!" Maharshi Valmiki replied with a shorter, abbreviated answer.
Maharshi Markendeya replied nothing in response. He knew that the Maharshi and all of his apprentices – they have seen a lot of new things in the last few days. They have experienced unusual, bizarre sightings and they came across many unknown facts those are considered to be next to impossible in this mundane world. They need some time to get themselves back in normalcy again.
-"Can't understand from where should I start cross-questioning you"- Maharshi Valmiki spoke out at last – "According to your opinion, The Gods are nothing but some kind of extra-terrestrial beings who created us, right?"
Maharshi Markendeya nodded in response first and then he said – "Men are the altered image of the creator itself!"

These feelings work almost the same in them, as they work on us, isn't it? And they are merely mortal like us, just with a larger life-span, true?"
-"True. But what is the catch, Maharshi Valmiki?"
-"Unbelievable!!"
Uttering this final word, Maharshi Valmiki goes silent for a while. They had their shadows cast on the opposite wall of the room; he stared at them for some moments. The flame of the lamp was shivering, so as their shadows on the wall; but it seemed that Maharshi Valmiki had no heed to this 'shadow dancing'at all, actually he is thinking something deep inside his mind. After some moments, he seemed to be back into the real world and then he started talking-....
