Chapter 45 - Chapter 45:When darkness speaks

Bimbeesan spent some time with them and then said, "Now we must leave this place." He called them together and went to the palace. After reaching the palace, he went to his chamber, and after spending a little more time there, he said, "We must go and meet our families, and Oberion is also waiting for us." With that, they prepared to leave. At that moment, Bimbeesan suddenly appeared and told everyone to sit down. He then explained: "The place we are going to is called Naragavaasal. Inside that cave is imprisoned Yamarakshasan, the greatest strength of the Asuras. Long ago, the Asuras tried to destroy Amaravati city, but Surya Devan captured him and locked him inside that cave. It has been said by our ancestors that whenever there is an eclipse, his power increases greatly. Therefore, during the eclipse, we must go there, offer sacrifices, and calm him. Not only that, he can only be subdued by music. The food given to him is not animal flesh but human flesh, which alone can restrain him. Every night, when he roars, music is played to keep him under control. You must understand all this. There are still many things about this city you need to learn, and you will know them gradually." Saying this, Bimbeesan left.

After that, the three of them went toward the boundary of the city. The whole city was celebrating joyfully. They went there, embraced their families, and expressed their love. At that time, Lorentz asked Ken, "Whose face did you see in the darkness? Do you know whose face it was?" Ken replied in a trembling voice, "Do you know whose face I saw? I am afraid to even say his name. His name is Neon." Lorentz asked in shock, "Is it true? Is he still alive?" Harold too asked in surprise, "Is he still living?" Azar wondered why everyone was so frightened. Then Azar realized something had happened. He asked, "Why are you all so afraid?" They replied, "We will tell you later." Then Oberion asked, "What should we do now? We cannot take these people into the city. Where can we keep them safe? Where will they be protected?" Lorentz answered, "We can keep them in one place only — in the forest region of the Kaalars. That part has no human settlements, so it will be safe." Harold asked, "But how can that be safe? That forest is very dangerous. How can we keep them there?" Lorentz explained, "There is an old mansion inside the forest. No one goes there, so we can keep them there. No one will come into that forest. Moreover, I will create a magical barrier around the mansion. That will protect them. No one can break that magical shield." So they decided to keep them there. Lorentz also warned Karikalan and Azar, "Be careful. Protect Cholan well. Take all the weapons from that chest and use them. If any danger comes, set up the laptop systems, keep GPS with you, and stay connected with the team I mentioned. There is already a team there. Stay in touch with them. We will come tomorrow to check." Saying this, they left.

After returning to their chamber, Ken asked Harold and Lorentz, "The face I saw — was it really his face?" Ken said, "Yes, I saw his face in the torchlight. I still cannot sleep because of the fear." While they were speaking, suddenly the soldiers came and reported, "A soldier who went to guard the western boundary has been killed. His body has been lying there for many days. We do not know who killed him." Hearing this, Ken went to Harold and Lorentz and woke them up to tell them. Lorentz went to the boundary and found a dead boar. He brought back its body, which had been lying there for many days. Everyone became afraid. Harold said, "We have no time. We must finish our work quickly and leave this city before they discover who we are. They have magical powers to help them, and if they realize we are the ones who killed them, we will be in danger. So do not be afraid unnecessarily. Tomorrow we will go to Oberion, give him the help he needs, and also get the help we require." Harold then told Ken, "Take the book we have, go to the mansion in the Kaalars' forest, and with the help of technology, research it. See what it contains. Return to the chamber at night. We will also come." Ken agreed, and Harold reassured him.
