THE CHALLENGE.

The Illusion.

I was walking briskly to step out of the factory, the thoughts of the man was running wild in my mind, he didn't seem unusual but there was something strange in his energy. As I walked, it seemed that, I am unable to reach the exit point of the factory, the walk seemed endless to me, I ran towards the exit but as I sprinted towards the exit point, it seemed to be moving away from me, and this was quiet surprising. I stopped and gasped out, and I stooped, holding my knees, I usually never get tired of sprinting; however, today it was way unique from the rest of the days. I didn't have gist of happening, and after a while my vision turned blurred, and I saw a dark figure walking towards me, and he was the man, I saw some moments ago.

I straightened up, and he stood tall in front of me. He laughed and uttered, "You will never get out of this factory, this is my world, you have stepped in." And he continued laughing. I was flabbergasted, and perhaps, this is the world of unholy spirits, who thrive on the fear of humans, where they live anxiously waiting to prey on human lives. I grew angry and a feeling of trepidation groped me, but I took a deep breath, taming my emotions, and I asked, "What do you want from me?" The man laughed again, displaying his sharp canine teeth, "You are in my world, so you have taken up the challenge with your friend, so now you have to take a challenge with me." I was perplexed, and asked, "What challenge?" He replied, "Come to my room, I will issue you a challenge."

In a flash, I remembered my previous encounter with the unholy spirits, how we recited the Holy Hymns of God to vanish off the unholy effect. I remembered of having a Divine Locket on my neck, and also I remembered about Shyama. She had explained me about the Holy Hymns which is nifty against the evil spirits, and those Holy Hymns are mentioned in our Holy Scriptures. However, I didn't take it as an option, because the unholy spirit had issued me a challenge to accept, so I thought to accept the challenge. I followed him to the room.
