And after that, he opened his eyes, a single tear falling from it. A determined look came to his face, and he took a side step. And let Mrityu's punch slide, and then with another arm, he punched him directly on the jaw. And reality shattered, like glass. And Mrityu launched into the air.
And Mrityu crash landed on a huge stone. Making it crack. And when Raghav reached there, he saw him on the ground, bleeding. And I saw Mrityu, crying. no there was only a single tear .
" You can not kill me. " Mrityu said. His blood starts to go back in his body.
" You have hesitation about death. You cared for others' lives, you can not kill me. " It wasn't a taunt or anything , it was facts, said without any heat on it.
" It's true. As long as you care for someone's life, you can't kill him. " Came the old voice of the old man.
" Please, end my suffering. " Said Mrityu, tears still fresh on his eyes, and his wounds were now fully healed.
And then Raghav felt something, and he looked at his braccers, and he saw that above the carving of kurama, a magical pot was appearing. And he felt the same sensation on his neck as well. He summoned the pot, and looked inside of it.
" Mohini. '' Said Raghav. And the whole world changed into lotus petals. And reality changed to a Rocky Mountain one. And Raghav, saw six graves on the ground, between him and Mrityu. Five were the same, covered by stone and stuff, but the sixth was completed, there was no boddy in . And when Mrithu stands and sees the graves he duge for him and his family, he starts to tear up. And he went to his family's graves. And hugged the stones there. And he starts to beg him to kill him. That he wanted to join his family in their rest. And Raghav seeing this looked at him.
" Drank him the contents of the pot. " Said the old man in his mind.
" Why? " He asked inside his mind.
" The power of Lord Vishnu's Mohini avatar, if you drink from their pot, you'll feel what you wanted to get, it won't gonna kill him, but it'll give him what he wants , for a short amount of time. If he has a pure heart, he'll be satisfied with it." said the old man. And Raghav thought about it. And then, he walked toward him.
" Mrityu, what's your real name? " Asked Raghav. And he looked at him. And didn't reply.
" I can give some time to meet them." Raghav offered, and hope immediately showed in his face. And he stated that he would do anything for him, he just gave him a glimpse of them. And raghav offered him the pot, and said..
" I don't need anything in return. " And gave him a sip of the nectar inside. And after just a sip, the world changes for him. And he saw five figures in a bright light looking at them. And he looked at them with teary eyes, and hugged his wife, and kissed his children, and looked at his father. He apologised to them. They were in white robbs, and he was in black. Her wife talked to him, and said that they are waiting for him, and to come back home, to which He replied that he can't. He can't come with them. And her wife smiled at him, and said.
" You can, just forgive yourself '' And they disappeared. And the world came to life. And he was now in the night time, in front of raghav.
" Can you forgive me? " Asked Mrityu in a kneeling position. And Raghav looked at him.
" For what? " He asked.
" For everything. " ..
" Did you forgive yourself? "asked raghav.
" Yes. " He replied some times.
" Then . I forgive you. "said raghav. And Mrityu starts to glow golden, and a gentle smile forms in face.
" Al'ra kulta. Is my name. "
" And my name is Raghav, raghav suryavanshi."
And he smiled again, and vanished in golden dust. And left behind his book.
Raghav picked it up. And dust it a little.
" Congratulations on your first defeat of a kaal. You have done that maharakshak has ever done. You have cleansed a soul for his sins. "
And raghav didn't reply to him. And looked at the rising sun in front of him.
" Ever wonder why the sky turns orange when it's dawn or sunrise? raghav asked to the old man.
" It's a reminder that the person who has darkness, can also hold light in him. "
And after some time. Raghav flew back to the temple, and helped people as much as he could. And when he was done. Everyone looked at him. And he looked at everyone.
" Remember, you are not alone. " And then he flies off.
And inside the temple dizzy was giving some much needed people food and supplies, when their boss came and greeted them. And asked if they were ok. Which they replied they are.
He asked Dizzy how she was and did anything happen to anyone? She replied that jiya hit her head hard, and she had a little memory loss, and then some of us had some minor scrapes and that's all. No one got seriously injured, thanks to krrish.
" Yeh. Thanks to him. " He said sarcastically.
And then she asked where he was? And he told her that he passed out when he heard those explosions. And then before more ge could say, she hugged him. And told him that she thought she lost him, to which he awkwardly thanked her. And outside the temple, news of the event before was playing, and it was supriya, and she starts with her usual good morning, which she changes and says.
" Suprabhat '' That means good morning in hindi. And she explained how the situation went and how things are right now. She thanked their saviour and told him that because of him everyone is safe now. And that as long as they have him, he'll protect us.
And the function there kept on. People were terrified, but knowing that someone is there to protect them, gave them hope.
Three days later, when they came back to their homes, Raghav reached his office, and saw no one was there. He went to the coffee machine. He was a little sleepy, so he sat on the table nearby, and then sat on a chair. And he looked at the nameplate, it was Dizzy's table. He looks around, and when he stands behind us, some papers fall, and he sighs. He knelt down, and picked some papers and envelopes. And he looked at a particular paper, which had his mother's name was written.
And then puts other aside, and looked at it.
" If you are reading this, then you have become what I always wanted you to be. My hero.
I know, you have many questions in mind, and I hope that our old man has answered you most of the questions, and if I'm correct, he has not." And he snorted.
" When I met your father, he was stiff and weird. But slowly, I started to know him, he was like a coconut, hard and tough from outside, and soft inside. I know, you have not had much contact with you, and you probably now know why. He was a busy man. You know, saving our world and us. And the reason why you were not in the ashram is bacaush, he wanted you to leave a normal life, which he never had, you probably hate him, and you have a good reason to hate him, but remember, he love you the most, he loved you so much that, when you left for the Britain, he got an heart attack. And raghav, he wasn't not the person who sent you to Britain, it was me. I wanted you to be safe. A kaal named bhaya, figured out who the maharakshak was. And for your safety we sent you there. He never wanted you to get in this mess that their ancestors had made. He didn't not want you to be the next maharakshak, he has prepared for a backup if anything happened to him. But the battle between him and bhaya, takes everything away. He defeated him and things went back to normal, but bhaya showed something to him that he never forgot , and he changed after that. He became cold, and harsh. And started to work really hard. And I saw him changing. My end is near, and I know I won't gonna make it. I'll hope you forgive him, and be the man that I know you will. Love - maa. " And the letter ended.
And put it down. And remembers his mother. And wiped the tears from his eyes. And he puts the latter down. He stands up and starts to walk away. When he saw his father's envelope there , which he had thrown in the dustbin at the start, he looked at it, and hesitated. But grabbed it, and sat in his office chair, and some time later, opened the envelope. And there he saw an old paper, which he recognized immediately. And it was the same paper, which he had given to his father , where he wrote the conversation between them, the column which gave his father the fame he was famous for. And in the bottom, he saw in his father's handwriting, written by Raghav suryavanshi. I'm proud of you, my son. And teared up, can't handle his tears anymore. And he started to cry openly like a child. And covered his face with his hand.
Somewhere else. Far from civilization.
Five people were there in a circle, and they were conversing between each other. Their aura was wrong, they were not humans, they were kaals. All of them, and around them were many tubes, which were glowing a blue glow. And the sound of pumps can be heard coming from a distance.
And they were talking about recent events. And the death of Mrityu and capture of maya, was top on there list, and that new maharakshak is way more powerful than others they have fought. And that, they need someone who is as strong as he is.
" It's time for the Bhakshak to rise again "
And another person, came in black hood, and presented a wooden box, which a person opened, and saw two golden braccers like Maharakshak but in gold. And it has a half triangle on both sides .
And then they looked at a huge pond, which has a black liquid flowing in, and all the soma was pumpling in it.
" End is inevitable, " They all said.
" End is the truth. "
" What do you mean you are going to sleep for some time? " Asked Raghav asked the old man in the white room. and the old man was in that resurrection table sitting.
" It's exactly what it sounds like, I'm taking my power nap. It'll take some time. "
" How much time are we talking about? " Asked Raghav.
" About a year or so, I won't be able to help you in that time period, so I won't die or anything. Cause if you did, you are dead. " ..
" Thanks for the confidence, but wait, what's gonna happen to my identity stuff, you hide it. "
" I know, tri to use some tactics, and don't go to public places. As long as you wear your costume no one will identify you. But they will see your costume. So be carefull. "
" Ok fine. I'll handle it. "
" We'll see, and try not to destroy the world. A s don't bring any girl here.'' Said the old man, and he lay down on the bed, and a golden lite appeared around him.
And Raghav just sighs.
" Things are not looking good. "
" Maharakshak "
