AFTER RYOZARTH TOOK RANAKKA'S HEAD AND
WENT OFF TO SOMEWHERE UNKNOWN
EVERY WOMAN AND CHILDREN IN THE RAKA CLAN
WERE THANKING RAMAYUKI FROM THEIR HEART
"SEE MOTHER?? I TOLD YOU THAT HE WAS NICE!!!"
"I SEE IT NOW, I'M SORRY RAMAYUKI WE MISUNDERSTOOD YOU
WE ARE GUILTY OF CURSING YOU MANY TIMES
SO WE APOLOGIZE FROM THE
BOTTOM OF OUR HEART
AND THANK YOU FOR SAVING US
AND OUR CHILDREN'S LIFE
WE ARE FOREVER OBLIGATED TO YOU!" - CRYING
RAMAYUKI ACCEPTED THEIR APOLOGY
AND GRATITUDE WITH UTTER WARMNESS
HE ASKED IF HE CAN TAKE CASORA WITH HIM - FOREVER
THEY AGREED HAPPILY, CASORA'S MOTHER SAID -
"PLEASE TAKE CARE OF MY DAUGHTER"
RAMAYUKI NODDED - "I WILL"
RAMAYUKI AND CASORA WERE
ABOUT TO DEPART TO RASOV'S PLACE
CASORA'S MOTHER TOLD THEM TO TAKE
A HORSE FROM THE STABLE, THEY DID
A CHARMING SUAVE WHITE HORSE - SHWETAK
THEY CLIMBED UP THE HORSE
AND WENT OFF TO LOKARA
CASORA IN THE FRONT
AND RAMAYUKI ON THE BACK
THE SCENT OF CASORA'S HAIR
RAMAYUKI LOVED IT
AS THEY DEPARTED
THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN BUILD PYRES
AND CREMATED THE BODIES ONE BY ONE
IT TOOK THEM ALL NIGHT TO DO SO
PEOPLE FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD
CAME TO HELP THEM AS WELL
IT WAS ALMOST DAWN WHEN THEY DEPARTED
SO MY MORNING THEY STOPPED BY A RIVER
RAMAYUKI TOOK SOME FRUITS FROM A TREE
SINCE RAMAYUKI'S WITH THEM THEY CAN'T GO
TO A VILLAGE OR A TOWN BECAUSE
THE ENTIRE CONTINENT OF ARTHASKANDA
KNOWS HIS FACE FROM THE SKETCHES OF HIM
HANGING IN EVERY TOWN AND
VILLAGE'S NOOK N CRANNY
THE HORSE WAS EATING GRASS
"THIS HORSE IS FAST INDEED
AT THIS SPEED WE'LL REACH WITHIN NIGHT
SO IT'S NAME IS SHWETAK, HUH
A QUIET UNIQUE NAME"
"IT IS NAMED AFTER THE FAMOUS HORSE CHEETAK
A LEGENDARY HORSE OF THE KING OF AAZOMAN"
"I NEVER HEARD OF IT"
"OW, IT'S FROM THE HISTORY OF 'NAVALANDHADEYAM'
IT'S A COUNTY IN THE FAR EAST"
"YOU SURE KNOW QUITE A LOT" RAMAYUKI COMPLIMENTED CASORA
"I JUST LEARNED A FEW THINGS FROM MY UNCLES"
THEY SAT TOGETHER, TOOK A BREATH
THE SOFT BREEZE, THE WEATHER WAS SO NICE
THEY LOOKED AT EACH OTHER
KISSED, A DELICATE ONE
WHICH FELT LIKE A SOFT
SEMBLANCE OF REASSURANCE
THAT I'M HERE - WITH YOU - NOT MATTER WHAT -
I AM HERE
AFTER THAT RAMAYUKI N CASORA AGAIN TOOK OFF
AND BY THE NIGHT THEY REACHED RASOV'S PLACE
KRISSHO N QAYOMI REACHED THERE
JUST AN HOUR AGO
BECAUSE THEY CAME MOST OF THE WAY BY FEET
AND A LITTLE BY BULL CART
KYRA SAW RAMAYUKI AND RUSHED TO HUG HIM
SHOUTING BIG BROTHER YOU'RE BACK!!!
RAMAYUKI REASSURED HER THAT
"EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE OKAY.....
I'M HERE NOW SO, DON'T WORRY
HOW'S SHRIKAL'V??? HAS HE TOLD ANYTHING???"
"HE'S OUT OF DANGER, RASOV SAID FROM THE DOOR
BUT HOWEVER - HE IS THE DANGER"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN??"
"WHEN I TREATED HIM
I FELT SOMETHING OMINOUS
MY SPIRIT TREMBLED BY THE MERE PRESENT OF HIM
WHEN I ASKED HER WHAT'S WRONG
SHE COULDN'T TELL
IT WAS LIKE THE TERROR
SHE WAS FEELING FROM JUST THE
MERE PRESENCE OF SHRIKAL'V IS CAUSING HER THIS
AND SURPRISINGLY IT'S WITH
KRISSHO N QAYOMI TOO
I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING ON BUT
I'M SURE ABOUT THIS
SOMETHING'S SERIOUSLY WRONG
WITH THAT BOY AT THIS POINT"
"LET ME TAKE A LOOK"
RAMAYUKI ENTERED THE ROOM
AS EVERYONE WITH HIM TOO ENTERED
SHRIKAL'V WAS SITTING ON THE BED HOLDING HIS HEAD WITH BOTH OF HIS HANDS TREMBLING IN FEAR
RAMAYUKI ASKED - "SHRIKAL'V WHAT HAPPENED..???
YOU CAN TELL US, YOU REALLY CAN TRUST US"
"BUT HE WON'T SAY ANYTHING!
HE'S JUST TOO MUCH AFRAID!!"
KYRA CONTINUED -
"REMEMBER WHAT I SAID BACK THEN??
HE'S BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE
THE RAIN OF DESTINY FELL
EVERYONE THOUGHT HE DIDN'T
GET HIS SPIRIT AWAKENED
THAT'S WHY HE'S LIKE THIS SAD AND DEPRESSED BUT,
THE NEXT DAY EVERYONE IN THE CLAN
WANTED HIM DEAD!!"
"SHRIKAL'V LOOK AT ME
YOU DID GET YOUR SPIRIT AWAKENED
DIDN'T YOU...???"
HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING JUST LOOKED AT RAMAYUKI WITH CALMNESS AND THEN LOOKED DOWN
THAT STATEMENT FROM RAMAYUKI CAUSED HIS TREMBLING TO CEASE
QAYOMI SAID - "THAT MEANS A YES WE ASSUME"
RAMAYUKI SAID - "I'M JUST ASSUMING THIS BUT
AFTER YOU'VE AWAKENED
A DIFFERENT SPIRIT THAN FIRE
AND TOLD ONLY RAKA ABOUT THIS IN THE HOPE OF
HE'LL UNDERSTAND YOU BUT INSTEAD HE DID THIS!
WHICH MADE YOU FEAR YOUR SPIRIT AND YOU THINK
IF YOU TOLD US ABOUT IT
WE'LL PERSECUTE YOU TOO
IS YOUR SPIRIT THAT MUCH DANGEROUS
AND LITIGIOUS??"
SHRIKAL'V GOT SURPRISED
AND LOOKED AT RAMAYUKI
WITH PURE FEAR AND TERROR
RAMAYUKI SAW A BLACK SPARK
ON SHRIKAL'V 'S PUPIL AND HE FELT A SHOCK!!
HE INSTANTLY LOOKED AT RASOV!
BECAUSE HE SAW IT TOO
THEY BOTH UNDERSTAND AT THE SAME TIME
THAT WHAT WAS WRONG!!!
EVEN RAMAYUKI IS TREMBLING AT THIS POINT
ALONG WITH RASOV - BOTH GASPING!!
GRABBED THEIR FOREHEAD WITH CONCUSSION
"I NEED ---- SOME WATER"
"YOU GUYS UNDERSTOOD WHAT'S WRONG???
THEN PLEASE TELL US TOO!!!"
TAKING A DEEP BREATH RAMAYUKI SAID -
"THE REASON THE ENTIRE RAKA CLAN
WANTED HIM DEAD
AND THE REASON WHY HE'S SO TERRIFIED IS BECAUSE
OF HIS SPIRIT, ALL OF THIS IS BECAUSE OF HIS SPIRIT"
"THAT MEANS HE HAS AWAKENED
A DIFFERENT SPIRIT RIGHT???
AS FAR AS I KNOW IF SOMEONE'S PARENTS MARRIES
OUTSIDE THE RELION THEIR CHILDREN WILL HAVE
DIFFERENT SPIRIT BUT BOTH OF YOUR PARENTS WERE OF THE FIRE CLAN SO HOW DID YOU GOT A DIFFERENT ONE!!??
AND EVEN IF YOU DID!!!
THE PUNISHMENT OF THIS BETRAYAL
IS EXILE FROM THE FAMILY - CLAN -
SOCIETY & REGION!!
PERSECUTION WAS NEVER AN OPTION NOR RULE
NEITHER WAS EXECUTION"
RAMAYUKI INTERVENED KAYA'S SPEECH AS HE CONTINUED -
"HE DID GET A FIRE SPIRIT!! BUT WITH A SLIGHT VARIATION!"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY VARIATION???
LIKE B'FLAME?? THE BLUE ONE??
OR V'BLAZE??? THE VIOLET ONE???
EVEN IF THAT IS THAT'S STILL WITHIN
'THE GREAT ARCHAIC FIRE RELION' "
"THAT'S TRUE BUT THE ONE HE AWAKENED
IS A NIGHTMARE TO ALL OF THEM
IT IS A FIRE SPIRIT BUT NOT JUST ANY FIRE SPIRIT
WHAT HE AWAKENED IS THE ---"
SHRIKAL'V COMPLETED THE SENTENCE -
"'THE BLACK FIRE SPIRIT'"
RAMAYUKI CONTINUED - AKA "'THE GOD OF DEATH'"
NARRATOR - WHAT IS THE BLACK FIRE SPIRIT? WHAT IS THE GOD OF DEATH??? WHAT'LL HAPPEN NOW??
