KalRatra (काळरात्र) A Night With Horrors

The promised one

Shastriji had left with his colleagues to confront the enemy. They were traveling fast, they had to. They knew that the enemy was beyond their powers, but they had to try. Else there will be nothing left to lose.

Ae they were reaching towards there destination, Shastriji felt an unusual presence of a powerful energy. And it didn't belong to the enemy. He closed his eyes and tried to find the source of energy. His vision travelled through air like a wind and stopped at a car traveling towards the same destination of theirs. The source of power was the man sitting on the back seat of a big SUV car along with another power source who was looking back at him, or Shastriji felt like it.

'Is he the one?' Shastriji asked himself.

'Has god blessed us with the son he had promised, to save us from this enemy from another world?' 

He wasn't sure. But he had hopes. He hoped to find out the truth once he meet him at the destination. They both were traveling towards the same.

After few minutes of silence in the chaotic world, it got noisy suddenly. They, the one and his comrades, had met the enemy before Shastriji. The sound of monsters screeching loudly pierced everyone's mind who were able to hear them. And all of them, Shastriji and team, were unfortunately able to hear them clearly. They looked at each other with fear and disbelief. It had started.

'Nothing can stop him now if the promised one doesn't show up!'

Shastriji's vision was tracing his footsteps. He was moving fast but nothing extraordinary was happening, he was fighting like a normal human being. And the another power source who was accompanying him was still looking back at Shastriji. As if he was making sure that nothing from the mind world would hurt him. He was guarding his mind. It was certainly powerful duo.

Suddenly, the suspected man fell down on the ground. Everybody's heart stopped beating for a second including Shastriji. If he was the one, then they wouldn't have afforded to lose him this way. But the view he encountered next, shook Shastriji's world.

The man stood up from the ground and grabbed the monster fearlessly. And the monster red eyes turned brown once again. He brought him back to humanity. Was it even possible? Yes, it was possible. He was the living proof of it.

'He is the one.'

Shastriji smiled to himself and looked at his friends who were confused after watching such a confusing scene. Shastriji didn't have time to explain them everything right now, hence he smiled from the corner of his lips and declared,

"He is the promised one and we're going to meet him soon."

Everybody looked at him with disbelief and happiness. They couldn't believe what they saw and heard. They were eager to meet him, to see him with their own eyes.

Shastriji didn't know anything about the person they thought the promised one was. He tried to gather information about him, from every living soul around him. He focused hard, he used all of his power to gain every bit of information they had about him.

'Vishwaprit, a prince of Vijayprath', with no one else alive from the family and the person beside him was 'Setupati', who was gifted with the power of vision beyond the time itself. And he had observed that Shastriji was searching for Vishwaprit. But he was too caught up with the situation in his hand that he couldn't do much except protecting Vishwaprit's mind. Shastriji couldn't reach both of their minds.'

"I can tell you how!"

Shastriji's words reached everybody like a thunder. He was walking towards Vishwaprit and Setupati, and was staring at Vishwaprit without blinking. He reached them along with his group and kept staring at them further.
