**************CHENNAI******************************************************************************************
🔥D🔥
I closed my eyes waiting for the arrow to pierce into my heart when I began to hear Rhea’s cry, my parents pleads and the as-sas-sin’s laughter
The gun sh0t everything that had happened that night turned into a visionary view…. Repla-ying in my head
I opened my eyes f0rç£fully and gr@bb£d the nearest wood behind me and started hitting out the arrows but more were coming
I had no chance
I remembered the gun inside my bag and made to reach for it when suddenly an arrow got me
I gro-an ed in pain and quic-kly re-moved it before the poison in it enters my b©dy
But I was a bit too late…. I felt it moving In my blood
I managed to take the gun out of the bag and began to shoot them
Some wise ones took to their heels while the foolish ones c@m£ closer thinking I was holding a toy
I began to feel drowsy as a result of the poisoning moving in my blood stream…. I have to svçkit out from the root before it gets into my heart and kill me
I continued shooting at them until the last guard dropped dead…. I fell down, my vision bec@m£ blur… I closed my eyes
*Some Hours Latter*
*
I gro-an ed as a result of the pain I felt on my head…. I gradually opened my eyes only to see a middle aged man standing infront of me
“Am glad you are awake” he said getting up.
I bac@m£ alarmed, who the hell is he, I looked around but the room doesn’t look like anywhere in chennai…
The palace has a very fine decoration, *Or am I in a secret dungeon no one knows of*
“You still nee-d to rest and make sure you breath in the smoke coming from the candle it would help you heal” he added
“And who are you”
“Me…. Am just an old hunter that caught a human animal in the forest”
I tried getting up but couldn’t, the pain was unbearable
“You are lucky I su-cked the poison out of you on time…. If not you would have been a dead man by now” he said
“Thanks” I muttered not sure if he actually heard it or not.
“It would take at least three days before you heal…. I will prepare some tea for you” he said
“No way… I am not spending an extra hour here” I protested
“Trust me… You will coll@pse once you walk out of that door” he said pointing at his wooden door
“I don’t bloody care…. I nee-d to leave chennai before………”
“Bhalladev catch up with you” he cutted in sharpy
I eyes wi-de-ned as I stare at him “who the hell are you” I found myself ask
“Am Bawa….” He said sitting down, I guess he was alre-ady tired of standing
“Bawa…. That’s the same guy Chandu spoke about”
“Am D… Chandu’s friend” I said
I noticed a look of surprise in his face at the mention of Chandu “Chandu…” He asked
I nodded, I reached for my bag which was close to me and brou-ght out the metal batch Chandu had gave me
“He said I should show this to you” I said handing it over
He took it from me staring de-ep into it “so will you help me leave chennai” I asked
“We alre-ady did” he said to my surprise
“How….??” I asked
“Its a long story… Recover first, I will help you find your way to Mumbai” he said standing
“Thanks…”
He didn’t say a word as he walks out of the room still holding the batch
“Make sure you breath in the smoke coming from the candle” he said at the door way before he shuted it after him
I la-id down inhaling the smoke
Thank goodness he saw me before Bhalla did if not, I would have woken up in a prey of fire with all my p@rts scattered into pieces
I checked my bag to know if all my things were still together but no… I had lost almost everything
The gun, my mask as well as the map Chandu gave me…. The few things left were just worn out clothes and a pair of shoe
All useless
Well thats not important for now…. All I want now is to recover and leave here before Bhalla and his guards catch up with me
**************MUMBAI*******************************************************************************************
🦋SHAINA🦋
We appeared on t©p of the tower… “Why so high” Bhavna asked “Just a place Nelly won’t think I am” I replied sitting down
She sat behind me “so what’s wrong… What’s ma-king the clumsy angel moody, are you in trouble again” she asked
“Lord Ganpati…”
“Lord Ganpati???” She asked suprised
“I haven’t received my final mission and its beginning to worry me”
“Have you told Arch angel deves£na” she asked and I nodded
“So…what did she say”
“That isn’t a problem, you will still receive your mission maybe Lord Ganpati is preparing a special mission for you” I said mimicking Arch angel deves£na.
Bhavna bur-st into laughter….. “Seriously shaina, you are so funny” she said inbetween laughter.
“I still don’t un-derstand what she means by that…. Special Mission” I said
“Well I think you should wait for a few days besides the time hasn’t exhausted yet, all you have to do is to be patient, your mission will come”
“Patient… I think am running out of it, Do you remember the story of of the angel that didn’t get her final mission and finally dispersed” I asked
“Yeah…and did you remember the story also said she sinned and that was her punishment” Bhavna asked
“My point exactly….what if I sinned and Lord Ganpati is giving me the same punishment he gave to that angel”
“That can’t be true, because if its true you would have lost all your powers and we won’t be communicating now plus Arch angel deves£na would have told you”
“Let’s just as-sume that’s true” I said with a doubt
She chuckled “you are funny shaina”

EPISODE SEVEN
**************CHENNAI******************************************************************************************
🤕CHANDU🤕
I kept pacing around wondering if D left the village safely… plea-se God if he gets caught the Emperor will definitely know I was the one that helped D escape.
I start down and began to imagine what my punishment would look like if D is eventually caught
I would be tied on the death seat….
Yes death seat, that’s what emperor Bhallaldev call it
Anyone that seats there will definitely die, sooner or later
An electric cord round my n£¢k and slowly he will shock me to death – the worst death I could think of
My family would left to suffer, hatred from the Emperor and from the entire village
😈EMPEROR BHALLADEV😈
I sat on my throne….the council of ministers and the judges were all seated with me at the court room waiting for the guards to return with D
The guards were at alarm like wise the village
The door opened and five guards walked in almost died
“What happened were is the culprit” Amerenda asked
The guards took turns in looking at each other maybe deciding whom will speak first
“He escaped” I volunteered
“Yes my lord…. We tried everything possible but he had a strange weapon” one of the guards said
I thought as much… How can one man kill 50 guards I s£nt after him… Its almost impossible
“What strange weapon” I asked
“A gun” he said
A loud sound of murmur broke in the court room
I was astonished “impossible” I raved standing up f0rç£fully
“How did he manage to get a hold of that weapon” I shouted
“My lord… We all know that a gun is a secred weapon which belongs to the royal family” the first minister said
“Yes… But how did a commoner Like D get the weapon” the third minister added
I signaled my son to get the secred weapon ..
Few minutes later he c@m£ back holding a golden box “its still intact father” Amerenda my son said
The murmur increa-sed
“Silence” I raved and everywhere bec@m£ quiet
“A traitor is in our mist…. Chennai has been betrayed and the perpetrator and his family must be punished” I said
“But my lord… We don’t even know who this person is” the second minister said
“Off course we do….. For as long as I can remember, Chennai has one delivery man” The first judge said
“Which was fired five years ago…. I believe he must have lost all contact he has with the city” the second minister said
“That can’t be true…. A criminal remains a criminal, there must be a connection left” the first judge said
“That gives us one suspect which is….”
“Chandu…..” I raved
🤕CHANDU🤕
The Royal trumpet blew, the sign of danger…. It means that the Emperor was angry
And once Bhallaldev is angry, there is always bloodshed
The whole village began to shiver in fear especially the slaves, whom are always the victim- the sacrificial lamb
But someone must be sacrificed to appeal the angry emperor
All the villagers began to match to the village square, be it a slave, Nobel man, children, mother father everyone
I was about to leave when two guards walked in well armed with weapons
“Am sorry for not being on the queue yet” I apologized and made to leave but they drew me back f0rç£fully
They handcuffed me and blindfolded me “your pres£nces is nee-ded” One of the guards said as they drag me along with them.
😈EMPEROR BHALLALDEV😈
The village square was filled to the brim…. Murmurs were heard from the mas-sive crowd that has gathered
The Ministers and Judges alre-ady took their respective position, Some guards were guiding the arena well while some has left to fetch the disobe-dient ones that didn’t answer to the trumpet
My eyes were fixed into space staring at nothing when my son whispered into my ear
I stood up facing the villages, another trumpet blew and everywhere bec@m£ quiet
“Traitor is a sin against the village as well as the throne” I began with my hand folded at my back
“And today, the throne has been betrayed, Chennai has been betrayed and the perpetrator and his family must be punished” I raved
The crowd began to murmur
“Silence” I shouted raising my right hand up
“For the past twenty years I have been a kind hearted King…. I have been loyal, Serving and defending my people…. Why can’t the commoners obey the law” I said softly
I signaled the guards to bring him forward which they did
A round of noisy murmur filled the arena as he was tied to the death seat… He was bleeding
“Yes… That’s him, our traitor, he betrayed us by helping D to escape, someone whom killed royal guards” I said
“But my lord…. I still stand my ground on the issue” the second Minister said
“What issue” I asked
“We don’t have any evidence against him” he said
“We do… The guards said D was holding a gun, that’s more than enough evidence” I said
“What if they are just ma-king up stories, un-der someone’s order” he said
The murmur from the villagers increa-sed
“Someone’s order” I repeated
“Yes… Its possible someone ordered them to say what they are saying” he repeated
“No one ordered him” Amerenda shouted
“And who ordered them to say such” I asked but he kept quiet
“We have an evidence….” I said facing the villagers, I raised the gun up and they all g@sped
“They not even an evidence” he chuckled
“Meaning” I asked now moving towards him
“Chandu lost his job five years ago… That’s a lot of years, and your son bec@m£ the head of guards taking up Chandu’s duty…. How do you think he is the one that gave D the gun” he asked
“This way” I said and re-leased a bullet on his forehead
