Chapter - 10

" when those dark waters creeps in ,

                 reeking of blood, dead corpses
    
                                         And a thousand curses ...

close your eyes ,
in full darkness
shine your lights ... 

when air lightens ,

              blurs the sight
         
                              gasps for life ... 

clench your fist ,
in full aim
loose your rage ...

when all the spirit drains ,

                         tears your soul

                                        moon grows dark ...

open your heart ,
in full heat
burn like a sun
burn like a sun
burn like a sun

                    all the light , bright and heights
                             may you be able to summon . "
    
                                   

The Chiefs knocked on the temple door and waited for response , they had unanimously decided not to reveal what the Aghori had said to them to the tribes before consulting their tribal 'Poosharichi'(oracle like figure in the tribal temple) ;
" Come in " came an echo from inside in the form of a lady's voice ,
Chief Soairy removed his weapons and the urumi from his waist and left it in the custody of the other two chiefs who stood out and went inside ;

After few minutes Soairy came out with a small package wrapped in green leaves , he grabbed his weapons and left without saying a word to the other two but just showed a gesture of pointing back to the mountains ;

Chief Oakis of Dokar tribe removed his weapons and went inside , and after few seconds he came out with a small pouch made of animal skin , he grabbed his weapons and just pointed towards the mountains and ran ;

Chief Mohara of Avra tribe removed his weapons and set his right foot inside the temple about to enter and he saw the 'Poosharichi' standing right in front of him , even for a warrior like Mohara the sight of Poosharichi was a frightening one , anyone would feel a tiny bit of fear bubbling out from the deepest of their heart's corners at the sight of a women who had long dreadlocks ,face painted in red and who wore shiny golden ornaments through out her body ,

" Speak to no one ! " Poosharichi spoke in a hissing voice ,
she gave Chief Mohara a tiny wooden box and pushed him out of the temple and slammed the door ;
Mohara knew where he had to go .

They bowed in front of the Aghori and sat in front of him , the cave of Aghori was quite small to fit in three huge men comfortably , Aghori was in deep trance and the cave reeked of hashish being burned in a pot nearby , between the three chiefs and the Aghori, was a small fire pit which had flames which started flickering suddenly and changed it's colour into deep blue , Aghori's face and his pace of breathing told indicated that he was experiencing something intense in his trance ; the next moment flames went out completely and only the hot red stones and ashes were left in the fire pit , in the dim light the chiefs could see the face of Aghori calming down and could hear the breath slowing down and then it completely stopped , it was dead silent inside the cave ,
" SHIVAAAYA SHIVAAAYA SHIVAAAYA !!! " shouted the Aghori gasping in air in a deep breath and then placed his both hands into the hot red fire pit for some moments and then he grabbed the hands of the chiefs and placed it on his head ;

Soairy , Oakis and Mohara felt paralysed , they saw a bright blinding streak of light suddenly and then felt as if their bodies has been lifted off the ground into air ,
they heard Aghori's voice is an echo saying " SEE " ;
they saw molten steel being poured in a mould , hot burning black stone , rotting animal carcass , and gold being added to the amalgamation and an Alchemist standing near by the inferno wearing a black thoub(long single dress worn by men in the Arabian-Persian peninsula) and a black turban with his hand raised in the air chanting a spell in a strange language and then with a swish of his hands all of the amalgamation just burst out in loud noice in green colours and then from the air the Alchemist pulled down a sword and then he held it on his palms and then his lips were moving as if he was reciting a spell in silence and the he blowed on to the sword, the next moment they saw that the sword in the Alchemist's hands started to shape shift into different weapons , it had turned into a hammer then to a chain with spikes on it and it crawled into his torso through his arms like water and then spread all over his chest as an armour ,
The Alchemist jumped up in the air and then while in the air he held out his hands when the whole of the armour flowed back in to his palms in a swift motion and took a shape of a hammer and the Alchemist just swinged the hammer with hard force on to the ground with a loud thud which woke the three chiefs from their trance .

Aghori slowly came out of his trance and then held out his hands towards the chiefs , and whispered
" Give ,"
Soairy dropped the package wrapped in green leaves he got from the oracle , into the Aghori's palm , Mohara and Oakis dropped the wooden box and the pouch of animal skin into the palms of Aghori .
Aghori blew into the fire pit and the fire grew into large flames lighting up the entire cave ,
Aghori started to unwrap the package in the green leaves and once he opened it they saw inside was a tiny piece of flesh and bone which had fur on it , it was a cut from an animal carcass , Aghori kept it aside , and then moved onto to the tiny wooden box given to Mohara by Poosharichi , when he opened it , inside the box was a hot red tiny rock , Aghori kept the box closed along with the the package of Soairy ,
And now he opened the pouch given to Oakis by the Poosharichi and when he untied the pouch , there lied a small piece of shining gold .....

" what does this mean ? What's about to happen ? Why have we seen this ? " Mohara asked Aghori,

" It's a warning, a vision to sharpen your weapons and to get ready for death and blood spill,
among you has the annihilation descended , and the Prophet has been chosen as the annihilator has been awaken and he has set out on his journey ! " Aghori said in a low and deep voice .

Aghori brought the chiefs out of his cave and pointed below to the direction of the temple of Poosharichi , and then silently he went inside his cave and took the animal flesh ,the stone and the gold in his hand and tossed it into the fire pit and laid down on the floor and closed his eyes letting out a deep humming sound .
