Its Time To Fight

When the time COMES

" Naagraj and Visarpi . What has they got to do with this ? " Maniraj asked the Mahatma.

"Everything your highness , everything." Mahatma kaaldoot said it like that explains everything.

The king was no doubt running out of patience. He wanted answers not puzzles. And then he remembered Vikrant's words . " Vikrant why did you think that Naagraj is a threat ?"

" I was told Your Highness that the rebellion that will lead to our destruction will start from our people . One of us will bow down to his evil self and his deeds will make him unstoppable. But his existence will be cursed."

" I still don't understand"

" Naagraj is a cursed child . The venom in his body indicates only one thing that he was cursed by the snake diety himself"

" Yes , he was cursed by the snake diety himself no doubt . But the child still managed to survive and that strengthens my belief that the boy has a greater purpose in life . But for him to achieve that he must be guided on the right path. " Mahatma kaaldoot said.

" Just the fact that survive makes him that special."  the king asked.

" Not just the survival but his whole existence is an enigma. The child has so much potential. All these years I have spent in research . I have examined him in every possible way and I think his capabilities are beyond my knowledge or imagination. A child as such could be a boon for society but if misguided he is worse then a curse. So much power in a single person is dangerous especially when we don't know the extent of these powers." Mahatma kaaldoot words amazed as well as scared Maniraj.

" Also we are not the ones deciding the future. Naagraj can either prove himself wothy of all these powers and be the Savior we all need or he can be  mislead to destroy us . " Vikrant added.

The king nodded. This all was beyond them . Even imagining it was funny , they were snake shifters with seamless powers and still the times ahead of them were truly beyond them . But he still wasn't done with his questions.
" But you took Visarpi's name as well . How is she involved in all this ? "

The Mahatma smiled. He knew this was the most important question for the king. " Your Highness , your daughter Visarpi will have every quality that all your guests predicted two days ago . While you were listening to all this you were waiting for a but that no one mentioned" he waited for the king to nod before continuing again " I will tell you that but. Your daughter won't live a life of a princess . She is destined to be a warrior. So train her like one. There are difficult times ahead for her. She will need to stay strong"

" Both these child have a difficult journey ahead of them. Time will test both of them . I don't know if they are our saviors or not but our future does depend on the path these two will take. "

" Is there anything we could do for now ?" Vikrant asked.

" Train naagraj and measure his progress. And take note of his abilities too. And for princess she is too young right now but don't be amazed if she shows some of her powers . So try to keep a record on her as well"

Vikrant nodded . Then he turned to look at Maniraj. " Ohh Great king ! Can I stay here for the time being"

The king could only nod a yes.

Since that day Mahatma Kaaldoot has been living with Vikrant at his place . His presence has given Vikrant a partner in his mission. But Mahatma kaaldoot wasn't there all the time. At times, he leaves Naagdweep for days , sometimes weeks . No one knows where he goes but Vikrant can hazard a guess. After all they need to know what was going in the outer world too.
