17: A good soul
It was evening.
Kath-> It's looking scary.
Niel-> Why is it looking so dark from outside?!....no light nothing....is everyone in the palace asleep or what?!
Kath-> I hope Zee, Zen and the sadhu are fine.
Niel-> Lets go inside.
Niel pushed the front door a little and it opened with a creaked sound. Niel went in first. The interior was dark and a little smoky. Kath quickly lit up a light holder from the wall.
Niel-> Hello is anyone here?!
His voice echoed. The only thing the two could hear were their own breathes and heart beats. There was pin drop silence. They started to go ahead holding each other's hands to find somebody.
Kath-> Zee?!...........Z-Zen?!........
Niel-> S-Sadhu?!........
No answer.....they could only hear their voices echoing.
Niel-> I-I think no one's here.....
Kath-> No no...I'm sure everyone is here.....we just have to find them....
Niel-> You t-think everyone is hiding f-from us?! A-re we playing h-hide and seek?!
Niel said with an awkward laugh.
Kath-> No idiot.
Kath made a poker face and continued.
Kath-> Actually it happened earlier also...due to Megha's magic all went unconscious.....maybe its some trick of Megha to trap us....w-we have to be c-careful!
Kath swallowed a lump in throat looking straight into Niel's eyes.
Niel-> Okay soooo?!......h-how should we find them now?!
Kath-> Lets look inside the rooms.
...........
Zee-> W-what's this?!
Zen handed over the light holder to Zee and kneeled down to examine the things. Zee bent down so that Zen could get the light.
Zen-> Its a diary....dad's diary!
Zee-> See these leftover incense sticks.....your dad used to worship here?
Zen-> Maybe....hey Zee.....look here....here are four spells written.
Zee-> "Useful spells"?!
I read out the heading.
Zen-> Y-yes....shall I chant the first o-one?!
Zee-> I-I don't know....I-I hope we won't get into trouble by that?!
Zen-> Zee...we're already in trouble...what more trouble we can get into?!....I-I'm chanting....
Zee-> O-okay!
Zen chanted the first spell and a screen appeared before them...it showed a beautiful hill station.
Zee-> Wow!
Zen-> I-I think we can see anything on it we want to.....lets test....show me a beach.
A beach appeared. Zen looked at me and beamed and I smiled back too.
Zee-> Show us Megha.
The screen turned black and showed nothing.
Zee-> Huh?! S-show us the sadhu.
The screen still showed nothing.
Zee-> *huge sigh*
Zen-> I-I think its happening due to Megha's magic.....don't worry the sadhu will be fine....lets move on to the next spell.
The second spell vanished the screen...third one did nothing.
Zee-> Why so?!
Zen-> Here's a message "Use it when you're afraid."
Zee-> Ohh....lets go for the last one.
Zen-> "Lit up some incense sticks before using this spell"
Zee-> But these are all leftover incense......ohh wait I found one half burnt.
Zen-> Hope it works.....then it's written, "If you are with someone is accompanying you, they should also perform it."
Zee-> I've to perform it too?!...o-okay.
Zee lit up the incense and sat beside Zen.
Zen-> "Sit straight, cool your mind, release every thought, join your hands, close your eyes and chant the following.....don't open your eyes and don't stop chanting until asked".....how'll I chant if I close my eyes?....and what does that even mean?! Who'll ask us to stop the process?!
Zee-> Lets memorie the spell first....and stop thinking so much
We memorized it...and then followed the process.
...........
Grace was feeding Swanki when she looked up at the sky. Her eyes widened.....the fodder fell from her hands....her heart beat raised.
Grace-> E-E-EDWAAARD......EDW-ARD.....
Edward came running from inside.
Edaward-> WHAT HAPPENED HONEY?!
Edward asked while holding Grace and Grace pointed towards the sky with trembling finger. Now Edward's eyes widened.
Edward-> Ohh my gosh....I-I think its above the Bhangarh fort and Woodworth palace.
Thick and dark black clouds surrounded the sky over the two great buildings.
Grace-> S-something e-evil is going to h-happen.....
Suddenly the monkeys started rushing from one tree to another making weird noises....the birds' tweeting seemed harsh and they were flying very fast....dogs, cats, and every animal were running here and there......even Swanki's behaviour changed. Swanki was tied up but he tried to run and was neighing severely. Grace hugged him to cool him down. Suddenly thunderstorm started. The tress were moving dangerously. The thunders were loud. Due to the storm small animals flew away. Edward started to untie Swanki.
Grace-> T-these are all proof that s-something evil is gonna h-happen......
Edward climbed on Swanki and Swanki neighed raising his two front legs high.
Grace-> What are you doing Edward?! You're going nowhere now...
Edward-> I have to go Grace...I've to go to the Woodworth palace....you go inside and don't come out.
Grace-> NO....I'LL GO TOO...I'M NOT GONNA LEAVE YOU ALONE....
Edward-> But-
Grace-> I know you want me to stay ALONE...but I can't, I am going with you.
Grace climbed up on Swanki, held Edward's waist and placed her chin on Edward's right shoulder.
Grace-> Lets go dear!
Edward smiled and nodded. They rode away.
..........
Kath-> Sadhu....S-SADHU WAKE up......
Kath softly slapped his cheeks to wake him up. Niel had untied him and brought some water.
Niel-> Here...
Kath quickly took the bucket and sprinkled some on the sadhu. Niel sprinkled it on the attendants lying unconscious on the floor. Slowly everyone gained their consciousness and opened their eyes.
Kath-> A-Are you all fine?!
They all still seemed to be in some dreamland....they were unable to speak.
Niel-> It's good that we found them....now lets first rescue them all from here before something bad happens.
Edward-> Is anybody here-
Grace-> OHH SO HERE ARE YOU ALL-
Kath-> GRACE...EDWARD....YOU ALL ARE IN PERFECT TIME....
Niel-> Help us to take them all out of here.
Edward-> Yeah lets take them to the village.
...........
Open your eyes my children. We opened our eyes to reveal a foggy face of a lady. Her black hair was open and was flying in every direction and its ends were invisible. There were no eye balls in her eyes and she had a divine smile on her face. She was not at all scary.
Zen-> M-MOM?!
Zee-> Hmm?!
Trisha's soul-> Yes my boy....don't be scared of me..............now tell me how can I help you both?!
..........
