Chapter 4 - Chapter 3- Divine Dragons

The sun rises again, and Kamui sits with his family to have breakfast. His mother, in a grey 'kurta', serves him his breakfast, full of vegetables. He picks up his spoon and is about to eat, but his mother stops him.

Her face, one would say old age has not affected it if he would have seen, stares at her child.

"Pray", says with a smile.

Kamui replies, "Come on, who are we praying to, even ?"

She says, "Don't say that. They say God gifted us and also the world was created by him or her. "

Kamui stands up in astonishment and opens up his mouth, "Oh yeah I totally forgot to tell both of you. I have settled my mind upon one thing. One thing that I will accomplish no matter what. I have set up my goal. My goal is to....."

He closes his eyes and hears the waves of the deadly ocean and finds himself caged in the land and behind it, he can't see anything.

"To explore the unexplored"

His mother gets astonished, she looks at her husband, who was sitting on the chair at the same dining table, but staring at the plate. 

"Father? Did you hear ?"

He doesn't respond.

"Father? Father !" He shouts.

Being flabbergasted, he says in anxiety, "Ye? My son ."

Both son and mother look at each other, then the father, who seems to be ill. His face was not even washed, and his eyes were barely open, but he was worried about something.

Kamui starts walking towards his school and again sits with Priya when he arrives. Abel comes and announces, "All make your way to the practice ground. "

The ground was on the back side of the school, across the beautiful flowers surrounding the building. It is visible from the Indo leader's window.

The ground on one of its boundaries had several artificial waterfalls, and Abel told the students that hot water comes through Susano's technique of Yama. He makes all students sit on the stone platform beneath each waterfall

"Meditation is the key to success. It makes you calm, makes you forget everything, makes you light, makes you feel the susano flow inside you, and makes you find out your nature. "

Some students are unable to concentrate and Abel thinks it's normal for them.

He continues, "Try to concentrate and then hear. You will hear your nature or feel it. Suppose, you hear wind, then that's it. Congratulations you have vayu as your element. "

He again looks at the students one by one, all were struggling. Kamui even open eyes in between. Abel taps on his head.

"Concentrate !" , he says.

After a while, Abel announces, "Well, it's of course difficult for you all and very obvious that you aren't able to find out your nature for the first time. So I say, practice time is over-"

"Jal !", Priya shouts and looks at Abel with her hopeful eyes. 

Abel, with a weird smile, says, "Then maybe you can find nature for the first time."

The practice time was over and only Priya was able to find her nature.

"You are smart, Priya", says Kamui.

"You could have done too." Priya replies.

"But you know, many strong Susans were not able to find their nature on day 1. How can I find ?" 

Priya giggles while listening to the excuse.

Two boys start fighting each other wantonly, suppose we call them 'teenagers'. They were interrupted by the arrival of a tall, old man with a hard, stone-like body. Students whispered to their friends that even sharp swords would have failed to cut him. 

Kamui who was talking to Priya, turned around as Priya started looking at the old man who was standing just behind Kamui. Kamui turns back, looks up, and gets astonished and falls to the ground.

"My lord, I guess students are getting scared by your tall white beard and bald head."

Kamui adds, "Eyebrows too"

Priya whispers to him something and points at Yama's chest There are 2 big scars because he fought a big beast when he was young 

"I am your nation's leader dear children, I am lord Yama"

All gape by knowing that this old man is lord Yama.

Yama took the children to the roof of Susan's school. All sit and Abel stands beside Yama.

Yama speaks, "Today I come to see the future of this nation. Today I come to tell you a story. A story of my past."

A student excitedly asks, "Oldman, what's your surname ?"

Abel scolds the boy, but Yama says, "No, Abel, he is just a kid. I have no surname"

All gape.

"The clan era was only in the urban areas 1000 years ago. I was from the family of the poor, not even food to eat, but I practiced a lot to master Susano"

Kamui exclaims, "1000 years back! You are 1000 years old ?"

Yama laughs, "Of course. I am the oldest leader among the three. We found Hinko first, then Hinko found Jinko, and that was around 500 years back. How I manage to maintain my health, god knows and no one else survived this long with good health. They used to say 'I fear nothing that what makes me this strong' "

A student says, "Fear nothing? Oh yeah I remember my mother once told me that our leader is known as the 'Fear's fear' ".

Yama says, "Now you have mentioned it, so let's come to the real thing I came to tell you all. It was about 500 years ago when Jinko was discovered. I dared to cross the sea. Standing on the shore, beholding the giant waves that even touch a human, he vanishes from sight. I was all alone, and a thunderstorm warned me, but I didn't stop. When I finally decided to cross the ocean then I saw four glittering eyes on such a great height that you all can not imagine. "

Kamui asks, "Who was there? A monster ?"

Yama speaks, "There were two giant creatures. When the fog cleared, I saw them. A blue and a grey surrounded by lightning. They both stared at me as if their teeth were starving to chew me. Wind blew so fast, my white hair at that time couldn't be stationary for the wind came from the mouths of the giants. They were divine creatures, also the gifts of the gods. Who knows? This is a true story my children. I fought the two divine dragons alone. "

In the parallel, Kageyama regains consciousness and gets up. He is confused as he was in the mountain last night, and he finds himself in a throne room. Ahead of him lies a white throne that reflects beauty. The walls were the same. He finds himself inside a castle. Suddenly, he got frozen as he felt a dark creature behind him. He could feel his fiery breath.

"Do divine dragons really exist lord. Did you kill the two of them ?" A kid asks Yama.

Yama replies, "Yes I defeated them alone. Having defeated them, they told me that the others need to be freed. They don't want to hurt anyone but they have no choice as they lose control whenever they see living beings. But at the moment of their last breaths, they regret. "

"I made the school beneath my place. I want the children under my sight for I want to see the catalysts of happiness that would spread and establish peace" Yama continued.

Kamui thinks, "So there are nine divine dragons and old man Yama killed two of them. The world is so interesting!".

Kageyama could feel it behind. All he could hear was a wicked growl. 

A blue divine dragon stands behind Kageyama wanting just to chew every bone of his body.
