She was walking towards that direction.
She followed that faint smoke, in a distance she heard some people's voice, more like a long, loud and piercing cry for help.
She didn't act reckless when she heard the cries for help, because she felt something was not right.
Her instinct urged her to take cover instantly. She hid behind the trees and did not make a move openly.
She took every step with caution, like walking on a thin layer of ice. She panicked as she didn't know what was ahead of her. She pinched the space between her brows and cleared her head.
"I should calm down. I don't know what is happening here. So it wouldn't hurt to be extra cautious."
She picked up a piece of stick that looked long like a sword and started walking in that direction with extreme caution. She was on full guard.
Since she learned swordsmanship, she had developed good reflex and due to her grandfather's constant nagging for her to train she had excellent stamina, which was why she was still able to walk. She had been walking non-stop the moment she woke up, until now she hadn't lost much energy.
The screams and wails, could now be heard as clear as the day.
She walked a little closer and hid behind a huge tree. She saw a small village ahead of her. She saw some people being locked up in a big cage and few men were tied to a stick in the center of the village.
The village was so small that she could see everything clearly.
She also noticed a few people who looked like warriors from the medieval period. They were clothed with heavy looking armor and every man had a long sword tied to their waist with the help of a belt .
She didn't understand what she saw, because it looked like she was now in some medieval period drama shooting. "If this was shooting, they really won by deceiving me. But sadly I feel like that's not the case." and sighed in disbelief.
But immediately she let go of that thought and started observing what was going on.
Suddenly 2 warriors lifted a can and splashed the liquid in it on the people who were tied to the stick.
"Please don't kill us! What wrong have we done to be burnt to death like this?"
"Please have some mercy on us! Don't kill us! Someone please save our lives!!"
"What? Burnt?? What are these people talking about? What is happening here? Anyways from the looks of it....If.....If I don't do anything....will they be burnt to death.....?"
While she was contemplating...suddenly one warrior took a piece of wood which was tied with a piece of cloth at the end, dipped it in the kerosene and lit fire on it.
He started to walk near those tied men.
"AH! AHHH!! Someone please save us! HELP!! Please don't burn us! Please!!!"
Immediately Seetha's face turned horrible, while looking at that sight.
She quickly threw a piece of rock at the man who carried the fire.
Her aim was perfect that the rock hit that man's left eye. He dropped the fire on his hand and groaned in pain while covering his eye with his big palms.
Seetha panicked at the sight, because she did that without thinking about the consequences.
The warriors were stupified for a moment.
One guy went to the warrior who was wailing in pain and looked at him. His left eye was bleeding heavily.
They panicked and started treating him, amidst that confusion Seetha approached one warrior from behind and knocked him out in one blow with the help of the stick and dragged him to the bushes near by quickly.
She did this within a few seconds before one could react.
She undressed that warrior and wore his clothes on top of her clothes, he had a piece of cloth that covered his face as a part of his uniform, she disguised herself with it.
She threw another rock which was slightly bigger than the previous one in the opposite direction into the bushes, creating some rustling sound, which caught the attention of the warriors.
They all noticed that because they felt like someone apart from them was present there and was trying to help these people.
So one guy went near that bush to check what was there, while the others followed that one closely. Amidst the chaos, she completely blended into the group and approached the guy who had the keys for those cages from behind.
She quietly stole the keys from that men and went near one of those tied men and told him, "I will now untie you, you quietly untie the others while I release the guys from the cage." She spoke in a very low tone, low enough only for that man to hear.
