In the morning after the heavy storm the smell of dump soil and something older like dust stirred from forgotten pages.
Their grew up town Seems empty and silent. Three friends decided to find the forgotten City agenda and to find their true self.
At the orphanage....
Arjun takes his caretaker surya's shoulder bag. The bag was made of worn leather, its surface creased and darkened by time. Every scuff a journey, it hung from his shoulder with quiet weight and both useful and sentimental. He put the ancient map in his bag.
Behind Nakul adjusted the strips of his clock for the adventure.
Agastya traced his fingers along the edge of a old copper pendant that he found tucked within the map box and holding a compass that locates to North.
They didn't speak much but,there is something else in their eyes, something excited, something marvelous.
As the compass locates to North they decided to go.But, before they had to go they went to visit there caretaker Surya's grave.
At the grave,they brought some bunch of flowers and sprinkles them on top of the Tomb and starts to pray.
As they start to pray wind becomes strong,the warm wind touches them as the Surya used to hug them.The falling tree leaves falls across them like Surya blesses them.
After the pray ,"we should find that city and we will also find out our true selfs,at last we will never gonna defeated Surya uncle."Said Arjun with confidence.After he said, the wind got even stronger,by that,a flower from top of the Tomb fall straight to their feet.
After that they began to leave their grew up town 'VIRANIKETAN'.
They started to move to North...
"Do you really think that there's such a city called 'agenda'?".Said nakul casually.
"Uncle Surya never told us lies,you Idiot!".Said Arjun."Idiot?! I ask it casually."Said nakul shockingly."Stop talking,just move."Said agastya calmly."we know that!!".said Arjun and nakul.
As they are going the path becomes longer.
Arjun saw a Jungle in distance."Hey! I see a Jungle in distance!".said Arjun.
"Oh! Yeah! There it is I can see it too!". Said nakul .
"Arjun,can you give me the map?". Asked agastya.
"Ok,take". Said Arjun.
Arjun gave the map to agastya."ok, let's see the Jungle in map". Said agastya.
Agastya opens the map, agastya looks to North at compass and map,"yes,there it is!".asked Arjun." There it is the Jungle in the North side of the map it's known as 'VICHITRAADIVI'(Peculiar Forest)."said agastya."ok! Let's go there!".said Arjun curiously." Yeah!". Said nukul.
They started to go to that Jungle...
As they ventured deeper,the Jungle grew dense. They hear the hear they never heard. The chirping of birds,the ethical sounds of waterfalls, animal's sounds and the all trees are soo long that it looks like it might touch the sky,the Jungle is half-swallowed by veins.
"There's dark in here". Said nakul.
"The trees are soo bigger and longer". Said Arjun.
"Yeah,also veins are covered the Jungle". Said agastya.
They want to explore the Jungle...
"Hey guys,let's explore this Jungle!". Said Arjun excitingly.
"Ok! I am on your side". Said nakul.
"No! This might be dangerous we have to get through this Jungle fastly". Said agastya warningly.
But, before he said that Arjun and nakul left...
"Huh.. when did you guys even listen to me?". Said agastya with sigh.
Suddenly they heard a groar.With that growl all birds flew away,all animals stops there work and starts to run.
Arjun alerted and said."nakul,agastya did you guys heard that? There's something happening".
"Yeah". Said agastya."let's go and see what's that". Said nakul cracking his knuckles.
They started to move forward to find which creature is groars...
As they are moving they heard that groar again.
"Did you hear that agastya?". Said Arjun.
"Yeah! I heard it. It's coming from that way!". Said agastya.
Agastya points his finger to left way.
"Let's gooo!". Said Arjun.
They went that way which they hear the groar from...
As they reached the point.
"Where is that creature go?". Said Nakul.
Nakul felt water drops in his head and hears a remnant groar. The three friends slowly looks back..
Huge in size,hair all over it body,eyes are red,sharp teeth , strong biceps,helding a spiky wooden bed,two horns on his head one is sharp and one is chopped half,scars all over his face and body and wears only tiger's skin in the bottom.
It groars...
"AH!!! Ran away!! If you want to live!!!".Nakul screams.
The monster lift up It's weapon...
The three friends soul left tere body as they look at it...
Monster: GROAR! GET OUT FROM THIS JUNGLEEE!! GROAR!
"AHHHHH". The three friends screamed.
Before the monster lift down it's weapon to smash them,they starts to run. The monster starts to chase them.
They sees a ancient temple ruin.
"Hey! Arjun, agastya let's go to that temple".said nakul.
"Ok! Let's go!". Said Arjun, agastya.
They ran to that temple. The temple is covered by veins,and that temple is half buried in jungle.
They rushed to that temple...
"Huh..huh.. I hope that monster don't follow us". Said Arjun exhaustedly.
"Yeah! Huh..huh..huh..This jungle is cursed! Gosh!". Said nakul.
"No,huh..no! This jungle is not cursed this is protected". Said agastya wisely.
"Protected?! Bye what?". Said nakul.
"Protected by that monster, that's why it says 'GET OUT FROM THIS JUNGLEEE' ". Said agastya .
"Protected by that monster? From what and for what?". Said Arjun.
"I don't know like it's protecting from something and protecting something...". Said agastya.
"Hey ! Guys! Look here!". Said nakul.
Nakul shows them a symbol slot which is empty. That symbol slot refers to Sun symbol.
"Humph... What is this thing a symbol slot?". Said agastya calmly.
"I think..." Said nakul.
"Humph... Ah!". Arjun shouted like he find out something.
" 'Ah!' ? What is that idiot". Said nakul to Arjun.
"I have something that will fit to that empty slot!!". Said Arjun.
"You have?!". Said nakul and agastya.
"Yeah..." He paused.
Arjun puts his hand in his bag like searching for something.
"There it is". Said Arjun. Arjun takes a Sun symbol from his bag. It's that exact symbol that will be set to that slot !
That symbol is a Sun symbol. That looks like sun had a mustache,wide eyes,and a mouth.
"Huh...!?,where did you get that?". Said nakul surprisingly.
"Hum..I found it in that wooden box in the room no.3". Said Arjun.
"Wooden box? How many things are there in that wooden box?". Said nakul.
"Ok,then let's try to open it". Said agastya.
"Ok!". Said Arjun.
They put that symbol in that empty slot.
As they put the symbol in... Nothing happened.
"Huh? Nothing happened? Why? It inserted completely". Said Arjun.
"Huh! It must be a fraud thing". Said nakul.
"No! We must have to do something to this,you idiot!". Said Arjun to nakul.
"Huh...?! 'Idiot' ? Again ? What did I even said you,fool?!". Said nakul to Arjun.
"You...! Did you just call me a fool?,you little -" 'little' ? Are you picking a fight with me? Arjuni ?!. Said nakul to Arjun mocking him by calling his name in female version.
"You..." He paused and with his hands he grabs nakul's shoulder and trys to push him." How dare you Arjuni ?!". Said nakul. Nakul also grabs Arjun's shoulder to push him.
"Hey,Hey, You guys don't fight". Said agastya calmly.
"You shut up! You monk like monkey!" Said Arjun and nakul while pushing eachother.
"Sigh... I can't do anything." Said agastya.
They are pushing eachother. Arjun pushes nakul hardly. Nakul pushed away and accidentally puts his hand on the symbol slot.
It clicked...
"Huh?!". Nakul shocked.
"What did you do ?" Said Arjun.
"I... I don't know".said nakul with a shoked face.
"It pressed". Said agastya.
Nakul have no idea and gets away from that. As the symbol pressed, some water came out from that slot . All the water flows through a tiny way that connects to all the way to wall.
"Wha-what ?! Where is all water from?". Said nakul surprisingly while looking for how the water came from that slot.
"Hey! And how the heck it flows through the wall?!". Said Arjun while looking for how the water flows through the wall.
"No! It's not going through the wall look..." Said agastya showing those two something.
The water is not flowing through the wall, it's going up sticking to the wall and it's forming a symbol on the wall. It's looks like a flower symbol.
"It's going up? And even forming a symbol that looks exactly like a flower? Huh? Is gravity failed? How did it not falling down?". Sai Arjun and nakul.
"Don't know ". Said agastya.
After a few seconds... The symbol on the wall completely formed by the water that came from the solt.
"The water stops flowing and completly formed that symbol on the wall. Huh.. what will happen next?". Said agastya.
Suddenly,the wall starts to crack in the middle like it's opening.
"Wha-what is this?". Said Arjun.
"GOARRRR"
All the three friends slowly looks outside tremblingly... Due to that sound THAT MONSTER WAS COMING TO THEM.
"Nooooo! That monster's back !!". Nakul started to panic and starts to run here and there.
"Oh no ! That monster...". Said Arjun and agastya.
The wall is slowly opening and there's a white bright light coming from the other side of the big door like wall and also that monster starts to run to them . They started to panic. The door is slowly opening and that monster running to them. Agastya have an idea.
"Hey guys,listen carefully we can't defeat that monster or we can't run away. The only thing we can do is to go through that mysterious wall ". Said agastya.
"Ok then we have to get to the other side of that wall or else we will get caught by that monster,right?". Said Arjun.
"Yeah!". Said agastya
"Ok then let's escape from that monster" . Said Arjun.
The monster is getting closer and closer and that wall is not completely opened yet. But, the wall is opened enough for the boys to go to other side of the wall.
"Let's go!!". Arjun shouted at the entrance of the of the wall.
"Get us ! If you can you puny monster! La,lala,lala! Ha! Ha! Ha! ". Said nakul to that monster mocking it.
Now the monster is really frustrated,it groars loudly and strongly, also it running faster.
"Ahhh let's go to the other side quickly!". Shouted Arjun to nakul and agastya.
A bright light coming from other side of the wall.
Nakul and agastya is here,they hurried to othe side
The three friends takes a step to bright side....
