Chapter 2

                ************
       Horses neighing everywhere with their fore legs raised into the sky.
Warriors and guards clutching swords and shields in their hands.
Their eyes blazing like flames of fire.
The place all sandy and rocky. They were armed to the tooth.
On one side of the warfront is the great army of Ilabuhab. The other side stood the challenging army of Sundhi-rakhash.

Shakar, the army commander of Ilabuhab came forward sitting on his horse and looking brave in his armor.
"Kapanavish, army commander of Sundhi-rakhash! This is a message from the majesty the king, King Lakrim Akbar Navad to you.
You have been hunting for our precious land and giving us no peace.
So I, Shakar Rakun of Ilabuhab's great army give you one last chance to retreat and bother us no more or face your death!" He exclaimed with power.

Kapanavish also came forward and replied
"I, Kapanavish, army commander of Sundhi-rakhash's great army never run away from the warfront and I'm not thinking of doing that now!"

"So be it! Great warriors of Ilabuhab, it's time to let your swords speak, attack!"
Shakar gave his command.
"Heroes of Sundhi-rakhash, attack!" Kapanavish also gave his command.

So the war began. Swords clashing. Blood dripping from all the swords. Dead bodies here and there.
Shakar and Kapanavish clashed in a fierce fight.
The warriors of Sundhi-rakhash were stronger and were defeating the army of Ilabuhab.

Shakar looked terrified  seeing dead bodies of his people in abundance everywhere.
What was happening? Were they losing already?
As he was lost in his own thoughts at that moment, Kapanavish raised his sword high up into the sky and ready to strike him dead when a strange warrior in face mask appeared from nowhere into the scene.

He blocked the deadly-looking sword of Kapanavish and flung it up.
Kapanavish jumped up and grabbed the sword in the sky but was hit hard on the face that he fell off his horse.

Who was this strange warrior who just appeared from nowhere and so powerfully he fought on behalf of Ilabuhab?
He was swift. Every part of his body moved with power and strength.
Who was he? He wore a face mask. He was already fighting and killing hundreds of Sundhi-rakhash's warriors.
Numerous of these thoughts went through Shakar's mind as he watched the strange warrior in wonder.

Clashing enemies' heads together, piercing the sword through another's heart and shooting sharp deadly arrows which came in three pairs at the warriors, the strange warrior took three quick steps forward and one swing of his sword,  Kapanavish's head came thumbling and rolled until it came to a stop at Shakar's feet.
His mouth dropped open in a gasp. He had never seen anyone fight so bravely like that in his entire life.

All the remaining warriors of Sundhi-rakhash took to their heels and went away when they saw their leader dead.

Before the Ilabuhab warriors could try to find out about who this strange warrior was, he had already disappeared.
'The Mysterious Warrior ' they called him. All the way back to the royal palace and looking all victorious, they hailed the name of Ilabuhab and talked about 'The Mysterious Warrior '.

In the left hand of Shakar was the head of Kapanavish, the army commander of Sundhi-rakhash.
" Look my king, here in my hand is the head of our enemy. I Shakar, your humble servant led your great army to the outskirts of our great kingdom and fought to save our land and people from the enemy.
I bring to you the head of Kapanavish!"
Shakar spoke proudly but the warriors started giving praises to the 'Mysterious Warrior' who came to their aid at the war.

"Who is this mysterious warrior? Let him show himself and I will greatly reward him for saving my people." King Lakrim Akbar Navad spoke to the warriors.

"Your Majesty, he disappeared when the w war was over and no one saw his face because he wore a face mask." One warrior spoke up to the disgust of Shakar.

"Well then, wherever he is, may the blessings of Lord Krishna and goddess Durga keep him strong and brave always. Hail my warriors!" Hailed the king.
"Hail Your Majesty! Hail Ilabuhab!" They hailed and joyfully returned home to their families.
As they went, they spoke about the mysterious warrior whose name soon spread throughout the kingdom like wild fire.

"Anushka, your uncle Ludin is back. Bring him something to eat and prepare his bath." Definie exclaimed from her room. In no time, Anushka brought the meal as Ludin talked alot about the mysterious warrior.

" Hei Anushka, why do you look so unconcerned and gloomy? Don't you find the mysterious warrior's bravery so fascinating?" Ludin probed taking a sip of his water.

" Oh no uncle, it's just that I don't think mysterious warrior is any brave or stronger than you. You my hero." Anushka managed to say and gave him a hug. Soon after they all broke into laughter. Anushka left the room afterwards to finish up her chores.................…..............................
