Angel or Devil

The first murder

" It's been a huge mistake teaching my dog to shake hands. ", Suresh whined.
(En doggy ku Kai kodukka solli thanthathu thappa pochu. )

" And why is that? Isn't that a cute training?", Amelia asked. (Yen pa? Athu cute aana training la?)

"You wanna know? Ok here. I taught him to shake hands when I extend my hands to him. And if he does he gets treats. And now he comes and sits near me putting one of his legs up in the air like 'Hey, now shake my hands and then give me treats.' Now I am shaking hands and giving him treats whenever he asks.  ", Suresh ranted.  (Unakku therunchukanuma? Appo kelu. Naan Kai neetrappo Kai kodutha treats tharuvenu pazhakunen.  Ippo en kitta vanthu utkaanthukuttu oru kaiya kaathula thooki vaichu Kai kudukuraan. Ippa avan kekanumbothulaam Kai koduthu, treats koduthuttu irukken. )

[Based on a true story everyone. ]

" You silly piece. ", Amelia laughed out aloud.  (Ada paavi.)

At that moment, the professor walked in. 
" Ready for the test, students? ", was the first sentence that came out of his mouth. And that shut down the whole mood of the morning class. 

" Yes sir.  Yes sir.  ", the annoying first-bencher kid yelled out a couple of times like the professor wouldn't hear him the first time.  The whole class sighed heavily a headache brewing already.  Even the smart ones remained silent.

" Good. ", the professor returned unimpressed and the guy proudly fixed his tie. Anish smiled at that from the corner. That was Hari, his friend from school. He had always been that way. At least he was trying to do something in life, unlike some people. Anish adored that particular quality of Hari. After about 10 minutes the students were asked to move to their exam seats and the question paper was distributed. Hari, Anish, and Amelia, fortunately, ended up in neighbouring seats. Hari threw a smile at them and started writing the test not once turning back. Yet another quality the man possessed. Meanwhile, Anish and Amelia were sharing their answer papers.

Setting:- Begulum

The unusual murder on Earth, created chaos among the danksh'. Most of the ministers immediately blamed the Dhaniks who were their arch-enemy kingdom who are believed to be evil and deserved to be locked away. However, Nagaraj didn't trust that a single bit. They may possess different powers and different ideas, but they deserve freedom as much as the danksh's did.  As usual, a fight broke out. 

"How dare you defend those devils?! ", one started and the throne room became a yelling competition.

Assasination day :-

Recap :-

Nagaraj marched straight to the training arena but was blocked by a few unknown faces.  By the experiences of the past few days, he knew this was yet another assassination attempt.

.....

Nagaraj decided to express his frustration on these people now.  Good thing he carries his sword all the time.  Probably one of the few useful things he had learnt from his mother. (In a hard way. ) There were only 4 of them, which was kinda good. 

" This feels so wrong to say but I was kinda hoping you guys would show up. "
(Solrathukku thappa thaan theriyuthu  , aana neenga varamaatungalaanu kaathu kedanthen.)

All four of them charged at him with their comparatively small daggers at Nagaraj.  But a couple of dodges and a bit of swinging was all needed to take them all down. But the last one almost succeeded in the attempt to kill him. 

Obviously, Anish had been roaming in the castle without his permission again! And the man took the opportunity to take him as bait. The awkward trio stood there unmoving for a solid minute. Nagaraj couldn't keep his heart rate down at the sight of the dagger being so close to his son's throat. He never trained the kid in violence, which just means he doesn't know any defensive skills. But we couldn't blame the man, could we? He never wanted any of this drama in his life.

"Hold on. Hold on. Let the kid go. " , Nagaraj negotiated or tried to negotiate.
(Iru. Iru.  Payana vidu. )

The assassin said nothing but gripped his dagger firm and it swayed dangerously near the gullible flesh.  That's when an arrow came out of no where to pierce the man's eyes out.  Literally.  Nagaraj didn't need to turn back to see who it was. He would recognise his mother's arrows even in his sleep.  He rushed to his son suddenly infuriated and gave him a tight slap.

Anish's POV:-

I was just wandering around until some idiot decided to put a dagger in my throat.  Tbh, seeing my father's worried and protective eyes made me feel even more anxious. Seems like I messed up big time. And to my utter shock, some sick arrow popped out from dad's backside (you know what I mean, don't get your dirty mind here. Please?)and blew the guy's head out.  Ok, we can get this straight.  I freaked out. Okay? What do you expect me to do when my face was dripping with someone's blood?  Aaand I wasn't anticipating the slap either. But who am I lying to? That slap really helped to take my mind off the blood and protected me from a full blown panic attack.  Dad's angry, that much I know.
