"THE GOD OF DEATH'???
BUT AREN'T THERE ONLY ELEMENTAL GODS???
DEATH IS A NON-ELEMENTAL THING
SO, HOW DOES A GOD EXISTS? OF SUCH THING??"
"YES, NON-ELEMENTAL GODS TOO EXIST
THE GOD OF CREATION
GOD OF DESTRUCTION
GOD OF WAR
GOD OF SUCCESS
BUT THEY'RE NOT WORSHIPPED"
"WHY SO??"
"PEOPLE ALWAYS TAKES THE EASIEST WAY
WETHER IT'S WORK - ADVENTURE OR DEVOTION
THEY TEND TO WORSHIP ONLY WHAT THEY CAN SEE
AND SINCE YOU CANNOT SEE CREATION
PERCEIVE DESTRUCTION
OR COMPREHEND WAR
NEITHER YOU CAN CHARACTERIZE SUCCESS
CANNOT HARNESS THEIR POWER EITHER
SO HENCE ONLY ELEMENTAL GODS ARE WORSHIPPED
IT'S BEEN THOUSANDS OF YEARS LIKE THIS
PEOPLE THESE DAYS ARE SO UNAWARE OF THESE THAT
THEY EVEN DENY THE EXISTENCE
OF OTHER GODS LIKE THIS"
"I SEE"
"BUT IF HE IS THE GOD OF DEATH'
WHY IS HE USING FIRE ???"
AFTER A MOMENT OF SILENCE
RAMAYUKI GOES -
"LONG AGO....WHEN I WAS ON A MISSION
A MYSTERIOUS FIGURE HANDED ME A BRY"
"IT SAID -
HIS NAME LATER BECAME - AHANG'AGNI'KANTHA
JUST IMAGINE HOW MUCH POWER HE POSSESSED
HE IS THE ONE WHO WAS THE FIRST TO ACHIEVE STATES AND STARTED THE GOLDEN AGE 2200 AGO
HE LITERALLY ERADICATED ALL OF THE FIRE CLAN
PEOPLE ONE BY ONE MERCILESSLY
BUT HE DIDN'T STOP AFTER MASSACRING
THE FIRE CLAN
HE WAS CONSUMED BY HIS HATRED SO MUCH
THAT HE LITERALLY.....HE STARTED TO
KILL WHOEVER STOOD IN HIS WAY OF DESTRUCTION
HE KILLED SO MUCH PEOPLE THAT
HE EARNED THE TITLE"
'GOD OF DEATH'
"I SEE, BUT WHAT HATRED??? WHY DID HE HATED THE FIRE CLAN AND OTHERS SO MUCH???"
"THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WASN'T WRITTEN
SO I'M UNAWARE OF THAT"
"BUT I MUST SAY THAT-
FOR A PERSON NOT FROM ANY OF THE FIRE CLAN
YOU KNOW QUITE A LOT ABOUT BLACK FIRE SPIRIT"
"YEAH, EVEN I'M FROM THE FIRE CLAN BUT
I'VE NEVER HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THIS
WHERE DID YOU HEARD ABOUT ALL THESE??
HOW DO YOU KNOW SO MUCH???"
"I TOLD YOU
I READ IT ON A BRY"
"WHAT'S THAT???"
"WELL A BRY IS___"
"THAT'S TOO MUCH INFORMATION FOR ONE CHAPTER!!!
WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT LATER!! JUST THINK IT ABOUT A PAGE OF ANCIENT BOOK"
"ANOTHER THING THAT WAS MENTIONED THAT - "
"700 YEARS AGO -
A GIRL AWAKENED HER SPIRIT AND SHE WAS HAPPY
SHE THOUGHT THAT
SHE AWAKENED A DIFFERENT TYPE
A UNIQUE KIND OF FIRE
WHICH WILL MAKE HER PRAISE
BUT I LITTLE DID SHE KNOW THAT HER OWN MOTHER
WILL HAND HER TO THE PRIESTS OF FIRE TEMPLE
AND BY THEIR HANDS SHE WAS BURNED ALIVE
THE WHOLE VILLAGE WATCHED HER, BLAMED HER
FOR BEING A WITCH AND SHE JUST CRIED
SCREAMED, BEGGED FOR MERCY
SHE COULDN'T UNDERSTAND
WHY SHE WAS BEING KILLED
IMAGINE THE VIEW SHE SAW
AS PEOPLE WERE CHEERING
CELEBRATING HER DEATH WITH UTTER JOY
AS FAR AS I KNOW SHE HAD A SPIRIT SEED
AND I SUPPOSE SHRIKAL'V HAS ONE TOO
NO WONDER RAKA WANTED HIM DEAD"
"SUCH AN IMPORTANT PERSON FROM THE HISTORY
WHY IS SOMEONE LIKE HIM IS COMPLETELY ERASED??"
"IT'S BECAUSE OF SOMETHING HE SAID SOMETHING
BEFORE DYING THAT SHOOK ALL THE WORLD
HE SMILED AND SAID -
'AS LONG AS MY NAME IS KNOWN, I'LL BE BACK'"
"THAT'S WHY THEY ERASED HIS NAME FROM EVERYTHING!!"
"BUT HOW COME SOMEONE SO POWERFUL AS HIM
GOT DEFEATED IN THE FIRST PLACE???"
"THREE WARRIOR
GOLD - DIAMOND - CRYSTAL AKSHATRA
IT TOOK THREE LEGENDARY AKSHATRA TO STOP HIM
AND THAT'S WHERE THE BRY ENDS"
AN AWKWARD SILENCE ENGULFED THE ROOM
EVERYONE FELT SOMETHING
CHILLING DOWN THEIR SPINE
THINKING ABOUT A PERSON THEY NEVER MET BUT
HIS TERROR IS EASILY FELT BY HIS TALES
BREAKING THE SILENCE QAYOMI ASKED -
"WHAT DID HE MEANT BY HE'LL BE BACK
LIKE SOME KIND OF REINCARNATION???
AND SHRIKAL'V IS ONE???"
"NO!! NO!!! TRUST ME !!! I'M NOT HIM!!! I'M ME!!!"
"WELL, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT REINCARNATION
BUT WHAT I DO KNOW, IS THAT SOMETHING
IS REALLY WRONG WITH YOUR HANDS SHRIKAL'V"
AS THEY ALL NOTICES THAT SHRIKAL'V'S HAND
IS GETTING MARKED
TATTOOED IN THE FLAME SHAPE
SPREADED FROM HIS PALM
TO HIS HANDS TO HIS ELBOW
AND WORSE? A MOUTH IN HIS PALM EMERGED
FROM IT A DREADLY VOICE SPURRED OUT
THAT'S RIGHT!! AS I SAID -
"I'LL BE BACK!! AND I'M BACK!!
I CAN SENSE THAT THERE ARE POWERFUL PEOPLE
AROUND ME AND THE MOST POWERFUL IS.....YOU!!!!"
AS SOON AS HE SAID THAT, THE HAND GRABBED KRISSHO'S HAND WHILE SHRIKAL'V IS SCREAMING THAT IT WASN'T HIM
HE'S NOT THE ONE WHO'S DOING THIS!!
HIS HANDS ARE MOVING ON THEIR OWN!!!
AS SOON AS HIS HANDS
TOUCHED KRISSHO'S LEFT HAND
IT CAUGHT FIRE!! BLACK FIRE!!!
AT FIRST IT FELT NOTHING
BECAUSE KRISSHO REALIZED IT'S NOT HOT AT ALL
BUT LITTLE DID HE KNOW THAT
IT'S ONLY FOR THE SKIN
BUT JUST THEN HE FELT
A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF PAIN
INSIDE HIM AS IF HIS SOUL
WAS BURNING AND SCORCHING
THEY TRIED TO SEPARATE THE HAND FROM KRISSHO'
BUT FAILED, UPON FAILING RAMAYUKI TOOK HIS AXE
AND CUT SHRIKAL'V'S HANDS OFF!!!!
"SHRIKAL'V! SHRIKAL'V!!! WHAT HAPPENED???"
"MY HAND!! HUH??? IT'S NOT CUT!??
YOU....YOU JUST CUT MY HANDS DIDN'T YOU???"
"UMMM...NO! I DIDN'T DO SUCH THING!!
TAKING A PAUSE HE SAID - YOU SAW SOMETHING
SOME KIND OF VISION, DIDN'T YOU???"
THE VERY SAME VOICE ECHOED HIS HEAD AGAIN
A DARK PITCHED VOICE OF A MALE
BUT WHY MALE??? SHRIKAL'V
IS WONDERING THE SAME
HE ENTERED IN HIS CONSCIOUSNESS
SPIRIT REALM ASKING "WHY ARE YOU MALE????
SPIRITS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE GENDER REVERSIVE!!"
"YOU'LL KNOW SOON ENOUGH BOY
FOR NOW, TRAIN AND BECOME STRONG
I HAVE A USE OF YOU!!!"
AND HE CAME BACK
OPENING HIS EYES IN A DARK ROOM
SHRIKAL'V FINDS HIMSELF SLEEPING BESIDE KYRA
KYRA SLOWLY MOVED HIS FINGERS THROUGH SHRIKAL'V'S HAIRS SAYING HAVING DIFFICULTY FALLING ASLEEP???
"RAMAYUKI..."
"YEAH, WHAT ABOUT HIM???"
"HE DIDN'T MENTIONED WHY THE GIRL WAS KILLED???"
OUTSIDE THE HOUSE
RAMAYUKI SITTING ON 3RD STAIR OUT OF 4
QAYOMI ON HIS RIGHT SITTING ON THE RAILING OF THE BALCONY WHILE KRISSHO' IS STANDING RIGHT BEFORE RAMAYUKI LOOKING
AT THE CRESCENT MOON
RASOV ASKED THE SAME QUESTION AS HIM
"I TOLD YOU, THE GIRL WAS KILLED
BECAUSE SHE HAD THE BLACK FIRE SPIRIT"
"YEAH, BUT THAT'S EXACTLY I'M ASKING
YOU DIDN'T MENTIONED WHY???"
SIGHING HEAVILY HE SAID
"I DIDN'T WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THIS
IN FRONT OF HIM
THAT'S WHY I AVOIDED THOSE PARTS
THE REASON BLACK FIRE SPIRIT' GIRL WAS KILLED
BECAUSE THE SPIRIT IS CORRUPTED!!"
"CAN YOU PLEASE ELABORATE???"
"SINCE AHANG'AGNI'KANTHA SAID HE'LL BE BACK
PEOPLE FEARED THAT
IF ANYONE AWAKENS THIS SPIRIT
SOONER OR LATER HE OR SHE WILL BE CORRUPTED BY THE BLACK FIRE GOD OF DEATH!"
"BUT THAT'S ONLY ASSUMPTIONS RIGHT???"
"IT'S NOT!! IT'S A FORTUNE, A PROPHECY"
"BECAUSE BEFORE HER
THERE WERE A FEW MORE WHO AWAKENED IT!!!
AND THEY BECOME CORRUPTED BY THE SPIRIT
COMMITTING ATROCIOUS ACTS MOSTLY GENOCIDE
THAT'S WHY THEY KILLED THE GIRL BEFORE SHE
EVEN GETS A CHANCE AT STARTING
AFTER HER IT'S SHRIKAL'V
AND THE PROBLEM IS THIS SPIRIT
IS BOUND TO BE CORRUPTED
BUT THERE'S ANOTHER THING
EVERYTHING YOU MENTIONED
IT'S JUST THE WAY THINGS HAVE BEEN
WENT UNTIL NOW
THERE'S ALWAYS AN EXCEPTION.... ALWAYS!
THERE'S ALWAYS SOMEONE
WHO WILL BEND THE RULES
AND REWRITE FATE WITH THEIR OWN HANDS
FIGHTING AGAINST ONE'S OWN DESTINY
AND IN THIS CASE, I BELIEVE THE EXCEPTION IS HIM
I BELIEVE IN HIM, HE WON'T THE SPIRIT CORRUPT HIM
NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS
HE WILL CONQUER HIS DESTINY!!!"
"YOU SURE HAVE A LOT OF TRUST
IN THAT BOY DON'T YOU??"
RAMAYUKI SMIRKS
"BUT REGARDING WHAT YOU SAID
YOU DO REALIZE IT RIGHT?? BY NOT KILLING THE BOY
YOURE RISKING THE FATE OF US AND COUNTLESS OF OTHER PEOPLE??? YOU'RE MAKING A HUGE GAMBLE
A HORRIBLE FUTURE THAT YOU CAN PREVENT
RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW BY KILLING THE BOY!!"
"GRANDPA!!!"
"WHAT KIND OF HEINOUS MONSTERS ARE YOU PEOPLE???"
KRISSHO SHOUTS, HE HAD HEARD ENOUGH
"THIS MAN!! SLICED A PERSON!!
AN ENTIRE PERSON IN HALF!
LIKE IT WAS NOTHING!!! NOTHING!!!!
AND THEN JUSTIFYING THAT!!!"
HEARING KRISSHO'S SHOUTS
KYRA COMING TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED
BUT AS SOON SHE WAS GOING TO OPEN THE DOOR
SHE HEARS A HEARTBREAKING STATEMENT!!
"AND NOW!! YOU!!! DESPITE BEING A DOCTOR!!!!
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT KILLING A KID
WHILE IT'S YOUR DUTY TO SAVE LIVES!!"
KYRA IS ABOUT TO OPEN THE DOOR
THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT KILLING SHRIKAL'V!!!
KYRA'S HANDS FROZE!! SHE COULDN'T OPEN THE DOOR ANYMORE, SHE WAS STUNNED SHOCKED AND HEARTBROKEN SO MUCH THAT
SHE COULDN'T MOVE!!
WHAT DID SHE JUST HEAR?
IT WASN'T A DREAM RIGHT??
SHE DIDN'T MISHEARD IT?? THEY'RE REALLY TALKING ABOUT KILLING SHRIKAL'V!!! BUT SHE CALMED HERSELF BY THINKING THAT IT WAS THE DOCTOR WHO SAID THAT
RAMAYUKI WILL SAVE THEM!! HE WILL, RIGHT???
"CALM DOWN KID, YOU'RE BEING OVERDRAMATIC!"
"YOU THINK LIFE IS SOME FAIRY TALE??
LISTEN, I DONNO WHAT KIND OF LIFE YOU'VE LEAD UP THERE UNTIL NOW
PROBABLY FULL OF MORALITY!!
BUT DOWN HERE
THINGS DON'T WORK THAT WAY
IF KILLING ONE SAVES HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS
HOW IS THAT WRONG?? HOW'S THAT LOGICAL THAT
YOU WANNA SAVE ONE OVER THOUSANDS???
WHAT DO YOU THINK?? ASK HIM!!! POINTING HIS FINGER TOWARDS RAMAYUKI
ASK HIM!!! WHAT'RE THE POSSIBILITIES ARE OF WHAT HE SAID ABOUT SHRIKAL'V BEING AN EXCEPTION IS??
KRISSHO LOOKS AT RAMAYUKI -
RAMAYUKI SMACKED HIS LIPS, LOOKED DOWN
SAYING - "ZERO"
"THAT.... THAT...THAT DOESN'T MEAN ---"
"DO YOU HAVE ANY BETTER IDEA???"
STUTTERING - "NO....NOT RIGHT NOW!!! BUT I WILL!
THERE HAS TO BE!! A BETTER IDEA!!! KILLING HIM
IS NOT THE ONLY OPTION RIGHT HERE!!!"
"YOU'RE RIGHT KID....
THE OTHER OPTION IS GETTING KILLED BY HIM"
"GRANDPA LISTEN TO ME
YOU AND I KNOW RAMAYUKI BETTER
THAN ANYONE ELSE
IF HE BELIEVES THAT SHRIKAL'V'S GOING TO BE AN EXCEPTION DESPITE THE CHANCES OF BEING ZERO
I'M SURE HE'S WELL AWARE OF THE CONSEQUENCES"
"YOU'RE RIGHT QAYOMI
I'M WELL AWARE OF THE CONSEQUENCES
MY DECISION MIGHT BRING
WORLD ENDING CALAMITY
SHRIKAL'V BEING AN EXCEPTION
IS JUST A POSSIBLITY
A BUNCH OF LIES THAT I WANT THEM TO BE TRUE
I WANT TO AND I'LL DO MY BEST TO MAKE THAT HAPPENED "
"AND WHAT IF YOU FAIL??" RASOV ASKED
"WHAT IF I FAIL HUH????
IF SHRIKAL'V DOESN'T COME OUT AS AN EXCEPTION
AND GETS CORRUPTED BY THE SPIRIT
STARTS KILLING PEOPLE
GENOCIDING MERCILESSLY
IF I FAIL....WHEN THE DAY COMES
I'LL KILL SHRIKAL'V BY MY OWN HANDS!!!"
WHITH HUNTER EYES HE CONVEYED
A LINE SO COLD THAT IT SILENCED THE ATMOSPHERE
EVERYONE WENT TACID!!
WORSE, KYRA HEARD THIS!!
WHAT'LL HAPPEN NOW???
NARRATOR - WILL RAMAYUKI REALLY KILL HIM??
