Declaration of War
In order to aggressively put an end to the existing perpetual commotion in the country, the Third generation Samagraha, with the full support of Panchayat, hereby declares an informal war against the Clan of Almourah with an intention to exterminate the entire population of the beasts. Hayden Mackay takes full responsibility in hands for their success and failure. Should he be a sloth in anything, he shall be liable to his action as a great neglector and lawsuits shall be filed against him. His resolution is backed by his contemporaries, Pruthvi Krishna and Leena Savanth, who shall be his credible force along with remaining Formation Samagraha yet to be included in the task. They get full liberty to strive all they want to give the nation the desired results. Full- scale operation begins tomorrow, dated November 1st, 2009 with Hayden Mackay traveling to Uttarameer to encounter TriArambh. However, such tasks being of indeterminate duration, there is no fixed deadline imposed for the completion of modern warfare.

With a subtle hint of what was to come, the three of us walked silently out of the High King's office. The atmosphere was oppressive. There were intense gazes, murmurs, and fingers pointing at our direction. Avoiding the excessive negative pressure, we headed down the stairs, moved quickly along the corridor towards the exit and finally stepped into the large expanse in front of the Panchayat's building. Amidst all knights, Harakara and other workers of the Panchayat, there were a couple of tensed people standing against the boarded fence. Noticing the distinct concerns, I realized the reak troublesome questions, much more difficult than the ones from the High King, were now going to be showered upon me.
The first person who came rushing, staring at me with wide horrific eyes was the one I didn't even know was sitting inside the lounge during the hearing until Ashwant had informed me earlier in the High King's cabin. It was none other than my aunt. In her chiffon saree worn Paramarashtrian style, she looked thinner and weaker than she had been a few months ago living in Sharad's palace. Even before I chanced a thorough look at her, she threw her arms and hugged me a bit more tightly.
Pruthvi and Leena walked past us and stood quite a distance away maintaining the grim look on their faces.
"Aunt, what are you doing here?" I asked, pulling her back and feeling my heart heavy. "I told you I'll meet you when the time comes."
"And when is that going to be? Aren't you leaving tomorrow?" she asked, tears pouring down her reddening eyes. "Hayden, I don't even know whether to be proud of you or to hit you for your boldness..."
"Don't make this difficult," I said, getting perturbed and wiping her tears. "Send me off with a smile. Have faith in me. I know what I'm doing and...why would you think I won't return at all? I'm not going to Parallel Universe."
"You're the only one I'm left with," she said, her voice a fretful whisper. "I'm scared for you."
"I know you'd be. That's why I wanted you to stay far away from my life. Aunt, it's unnecessary for you to get involved in everything I do. I can take care of myself. You just worry about you."
She stared at me with disbelief and burst out crying. That tore my heart. "Okay, I'll leave you alone if that's what you want," she said, her voice breaking. "Come visit me after you return?"
"I sure will. And you...stay safe. Don't give me any more trouble."
She scoffed, trying to smile through her tears. "You are the one flying into the face of danger, Hayden."
