"Shall we go to the forest today?" I asked my brother.
"Yes, let's go," Siddharth (Siddh) replied.
(We both went into the forest, and after going deep inside, we lost our way.)
"Brother, where are we? There's forest everywhere, and monsters are nearby," Siddh said.
"Look, there's a cave. Let's go there. Maybe someone will find us," I said.
"Brother, it's dark here. Wait, I will create light."
(My brother has both light magic and healing magic.)
"What is this chest doing here?" I said.
(We opened it. Inside, there was a book and a dagger.)
"Brother, what kind of book is this? What is written in it?"
(I can read and speak any language. I don't know why, maybe it is one of my abilities.)
"This book contains information about a demon and how to summon it."
"Oh… what does it say?"
"It says that the one who summons must have enough power to call that demon, otherwise the summoner may die."
"Oh… what should we do, brother?"
"I think I should try it once."
"No, brother! You could die!"
"Nothing will happen. This is probably just a joke," I said.
"According to this, we need to draw the symbol shown in the book, then cut our hand with this dagger, drop some blood on the symbol, and while chanting the spell, focus our energy on it."
"Is anything happening?" Siddh asked.
"I don't feel anything…"
(Suddenly, strong winds blew, the sky turned dark, and lightning struck. Then the demon appeared.)
(It looked like a human—long hair, wearing a coat and pants.)
"Did you summon me?" the demon asked.
"Yes."
"You… what is your name, Master?"
"Master?"
"Yes, Master. You are the one who summoned me. What is your name, Master?"
"Why do you need to know my name?"
"Because to form a contract with you, I need to know your name."
"My name is SHIVA."
"Now, please give me a name as well, Master."
"A name… I will call you Rudra."
"I, Rudra, swear loyalty to my Master Shiva until my last breath. From now on, you are my Master."
"What is going on…?" Siddh said.
"Who is he, Master?"
"He is my younger brother."
"Oh… hello, Master's younger brother."
"A… hello."
(Shiva… Siddharth…)
"It seems someone is calling us," Siddh said.
"Can you take the form of a child our age?" I asked Rudra.
"Yes, Master."
(Look, there they are.)
"Prince, why did you come so deep into the forest?" a soldier said.
"There are many monsters here. We should leave quickly. And who is this child with you?" another soldier asked.
"He is our friend. He was sitting in this cave out of fear," I said.
"This monster is about to attack us! Be careful!" a soldier shouted.
"Can you deal with them?" I asked Rudra.
"Yes, Master."
"What…? This child killed such a huge monster in a single strike?" a soldier said.
"Let's leave quickly before more monsters come," I said.
"Yes, Prince," everyone replied.
"Master, you who summoned a demon like me… you could kill these monsters easily.
Then why are you afraid?"
"Because I don't want anyone to see my power. Power comes with responsibility… and I am not old enough to bear that responsibility yet."
(We returned to the palace. The King and Queen scolded us a lot.)
"Is this the same boy who killed monsters alone?" the King asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty," a soldier replied.
"Who are you, child?" the King asked.
"I am just a wanderer, Your Majesty.
I travel from one land to another," Rudra said.
"What is your name, child? Ask for anything, and I will grant it," the King said.
"But—" ( Siddh tried to speak, but I stopped him ).
"What happened, Siddh?" the King asked.
"Nothing, Your Majesty," Siddh said.
"Then tell me, child, what is your name?"
"My name is Rudra, Your Majesty. And I wish to serve Prince Shiva."
"Oh? What do you think, Shiva?"
"Your Majesty, I also want to keep Rudra with me. He can be very useful to us," I said.
"Very well. I appoint you as Shiva's official butler," the King said.
"Brother, why did you stop me from speaking?" Siddh asked.
"Siddh, promise me that you will not tell anyone that he is a demon. Understood?" I said.
"Alright, brother," Siddh replied.
(A few days later)
"What are you thinking about, Master?" Rudra asked.
"Nothing… I am thinking whether I should awaken Kundalini (chakras) or not," I said.
"What is that, brother?" Siddh asked.
"It is a kind of energy hidden within our body. We just need to awaken it," I said.
"Then what will you do for that, Master?" Rudra asked.
"Nothing… meditation in a peaceful place and brahmacharya," I said.
"What is that?" both of them asked.
(Brahmacharya is a discipline in which we avoid improp
er actions and focus on preserving and developing our body's energy. In simple words, it means controlling and conserving one's vital energy.)
