"If your seal has been broken on it's own, then this only means that you are facing a dire situation outside. But I can not sense any anger but only release. Then why the seal has been broken... Sigh~ You knack of creating trouble is still the same, Brother." (???)

A sweet, caring, gentle, but heavy voice echoed in a strange dimension. In this dimension a old Wooden table and two Chairs can be seen. All of the lights are directed on them, while whole dimension is filled with darkness. On the chair a beautiful woman can be seen frowning slightly while tapping on the armrest as she felt the fluctuations which she didn't want to sense during rest of the eternity.

She is the personification of the Word: Divine. A perfect oval shaped face with distinctive features and slightly arched eyebrows can be only described as beautiful, even mortal idols are dust in front of it. Her almond shaped emerald eyes are brimmed with life and gentleness, with a tint of a mother's concern. She is wearing a long white coloured dress, which coupled with her long Dark Blonde curly hair is defining Divine.

She loosened her expression before gently smiling at the figure materializing out of tiny light particles. A young man in white top and trousers walked out from them. He has similar feature to Rudra, but there is a aura of purity is radiating from him, which could be seen only seen in newborn babies. He looks exactly like Storm God Rudra but only difference is that he has Short Messy Hair and a Slender Body. But as he opened his eyes his aura becomes chaotic as he fell panting on the floor. Lady gently waves her hand as he was gently lifted in air and pushed to relax on chair. After few breaths he calmed himself and looked around his new surrounding questionably. As he looked at the lady in front of him his eyes widened as he said to her grimly "Genesis, what is meaning of all this?"

Genesis raised her eyebrow before her tone became cold "Humph, how do I know. I was busily working but suddenly my sealed consciousness awakened and I came here to become a spectacle to your daredevil show. I didn't gave you Primordial Scriptures to just jump into the tiger's mouth. I told you that Void is not a safe place, but no, you had to explore this, explore that as if you are a born Explorer. And here we are, your stupid antics has finally come to claim your life, life of 'The Mightiest of All'. And, Kukuku~ ,it seems that you have grown up quite a bit that you even forgot your teachings, accusing others as you like, when you are the one in fault."

Young Rudra's loosened his expression, as he felt that he did go overboard, before he raised his arms with a tired sigh "You got me Sis. Yes you can say that I did go overboard this time but it was sake for your mission. You also know that. And it is not a big deal, it is just a painful death, I am sure that I will be reborn in few moments, as always."

Genesis eye twitched as she screamed "WHAT MISSION I DIDN'T GIVE YOU ANY MISSION!! IDIOT!! HOW ARE YOU SO CALM, DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU WILL DIE THE MOMENT TIME RESUMES...Huff..Huff"

Rudra: What do you mean by that, it is not the first time I died. There is no need to be so despaired.

Genesis(In a mocking tone): Ah, Mr. Know it All, can you care to explain me why your seal is broken.

Rudra: Oh, Seal of Anger. About this I just felt more pain than normal times, may be it triggered it.

Genesis (Blue veins can be seen on her forehead as she gnashed her teach): Then, Mr. Know it All, can you tell me why I can not see any Karmic Link around you. You don't have any connection as of now, even my link is disappearing as we speak.

Rudra:.....It should not have been happened. (In a deadpan manner) Oh, it looks like I am really a goner this time.

Genesis: YES!! YOU ARE TRULY A GONER THIS TIME, IDIOT!!!

Rudra: Relax, it is not that unexpected. I encountered a Ancient Temple and there a strange artifact bonded with me, which was even capable of destroying my Soul Realm. So all this must have happened when I tried to contact with it. I will probably be able to fix it. Everything is under control. And I also like current scenario.

Genesis(Sighed): Do you know that you have only 100 Fate Points on you and what's more 97% of your soul has been 'erased'.

Rudra: Oh, about that.....Wait, what did you just say, I was not able to catch all your words. Can you please repeat, S.I.S.

Genesis(With a condescending tone): No, You heard it right, Mister. Not only you are not connected with any Cycle of Reincarnation, all your Fate Point, which you scammed in your last job greedily and whole of your collection, have been literally 'Vanished'. Not just that your soul is incomplete now, so there is only one place for remaining you now, Limbo. Now do you understand about the gravity of situation.

Rudra(Sighed): So it actually happened, that snake didn't deceive me about this. The entity sealed in Infinity Core did as he predicted. But you are slightly wrong, my soul is complete but it seems that it is transferring to the Infinity Core and when my last consciousness was absorbing, my seal was unlocked due to danger of extinction 'here'.

Genesis: Hmm. This might be possible. But first recount all the events you faced recently, I believe that it is not so easy.

Rudra(Solemnly Asked): Sister, do you believe me?

Genesis was perplexed but then Rudra hurriedly explained "Things I am going to tell you are all true and must remain secret as it will be hazardous if it is leaked to others. You must take a vow that you will not share it with anyone else.

Genesis nodded upon his words and then he recounted all the things which he witnessed in Ancient Graveyard, of course in summary.

Rudra(Opened his arms wide): Then I lost consciousness and appeared here in my younger form and I can tell you that I can still sense remaining part of my soul in the Infinity Core. And if my soul is trapped there then this may be good time for my Moksha. {A/N: Moksha refers to the escape from Cycle of Reincarnation, as per Hinduism}

Genesis: Huh..You want Moksha now. *Exhale* Did you not receive your freedom when I removed you from job as Vice President. Why do you want to forfeit your life when you have barely enjoyed your freedom. Did you not say that you like eating delicious food and travelling to new places. You have just spent 1.4 Galactic Years {A/N 336 Million Earth Years} in The Endless Void and you are speaking as if you have spend Trillion Years there. (While squinting her eyes in condescending tone) I did not know that my brother was a loser, who does not even think of surviving. Looks like I have to teach you again about the values of a Hunter.

Rudra(Calmly stated): There is no need to rile me up, Genesis. I have seen enough and head enough and I can tell you that your methods have become even more childish than before. *Exhale* Forget about what I said. Just remember that I will not be able to meet you in future. It is not even a big deal if I die. For our defending our home, you already have my Spark, so there should not be any problem in your task. And it is good that all Karma Links have been severed, I can now pass out without any care.

{A/N: Imagine karmic link as connections. As per Hinduism, after death 12 days are spent lamenting loss of life while 13th day is day of release from all karma as close ones gather to celebrate their ascension to Heaven or Swarga Lok. As per Gita, karma is judged in current life only. It is not carried forward.}

Genesis: You know that you are being selfish here.

Rudra: No, I am being practical. I will be facing unknown out there. I was an existence whose main task was to stand and fight against evils till all the chaos was stabilized. And I lost my purpose to exist when The Order was established. And, even after getting out from the influence of Spark I am still a Spirit, just a consciousness, not a mortal. I had even tried to indulge myself in different Sins in my search for a attachment to life, but I failed in this as even in deepest of my thoughts I am a 'Ideal Protector'. Do you know what is meant by being a empty vessel. I can not act as I like. I can not even retaliate against a schemer until they make their move. I can not use my full power, unless I get angry. I went to most dangerous places in my search. And now after all this I have found it. Genesis, like you and others I was also born as a Primordial, but you all had right to think, but not me, I was a Executioner, not a Hero. I was born as a puppet and only benefit I received from losing the Spark is severing of threads controlling me but at the same time I lost my reason for existence.

Genesis: B-But is there not any other way? Please don't do this, we still need you back in home, you have your responsibility. No..no even if you don't have responsibility. You have a reason for existence. You have us. You too have a family. Think calmly. Don't make stupid decision.

Rudra: Decision was already made when I came here.

Genesis(Sternly stated): No! as your elder sister and sole guardian I prohibit you from taking this decision.....

Rudra: So, you have not understood what I said. Let me repeat, I meant th-

Genesis: YES! I AM A IDIOT, I DON'T UNDERSTAND I...I JUST PROHIBIT YOU FROM ERASING FROM OUR LIFE. (Then she broke down a little). *Sob* If you even have a tiny bit of respect for me don't disappear, you are a important part of our family. *Sob* So don't leave.

Rudra then moved behind her and gently wrapped his arms around her bosom and hugged the crying Goddess. After few minutes she stopped and looked back to the face which is just above her forehead. Rudra sat down and a Banyan tree appears behind him as he leaned on it's trunk with Genesis on her lap. Background changes to a dense forest, where Banyan tree is biggest and in center as earthly fragrance permeated in the dimension.

Rudra(Gently Said): Sheesh.....You are truly emotional, just like mortals. You have lived for you know how many years, why are you behaving like little girl. You should act more of your age. It feels if I am a Husband who is abandoning his beautiful wife. It troubles me greatly if our Judge is behaving like this.

Genesis: *Inhale* *Exhale* If behaving like this can prevent you from this mortifying action, then I can act like this for ever. You are moving towards of suicide. You will have negative Fate Points after this and there will be no hope of your reincarnation. {A/N: Suicide generates -1000 FP}

Rudra: It is not so hopeless as you are speaking. Who knows fate has chosen some different path for me. Maybe, you will meet my reincarnation in future and it is also possible that I fail in attaining Moksha. Now let's forget about me. Tell me how are you and others doing back there.

While Genesis was contemplating on his words, she felt that his arms started getting colder and transparent. Her eyes trembled a bit and she moved her face towards him and saw the same phenomenon in other areas. Her sour eyes once again generated her precious tears as she started hitting on his chest.

Rudra(Chuckled): H-Hey it hurts. Genesis, you are hurting me. (Then he said sternly) We don't have much time. It appears that even if you are able to bring here my consciousness core is still devouring my Soul. So control your emotions I have to know about it, or else my sense of justice will prick me. And don't try to lie I can easily see through it, you are always too expressive.

Genesis meekly nodded while tightly hugging his disappearing body as if it was her greatest treasure. She looked up in his eyes and spoke in a hoarse voice while slightly composing herself "*Cough*.... All are doing what they usually do. Shiva is in seclusion, like always. Vishnu is monitoring Superclusters as we are speaking, while sleeping. Yahweh is roaming around for inspiration and maybe creating few more civilsation. And I am at our HQ in Pandora Supercluster."

Rudra: You are still forgetting about something.

Genesis: Ah. Their family is growing up nicely, while there were some problem, but all is well now. Can you believe that their children called me 'Granny' when I met them and when I punished them they were looking so cuuuute~. Can you guess what was my punishment. Heheh~

Rudra(Tilted his Head): Throwing them into limbo for few thousand years?

Genesis(While staring lifelessly at his face): Am I such a monster in your eyes.

Rudra(Nodded humorously): Well, among all of us you were strongest and most vindictive too. And your emotions are quite unstable too. And you do not use your mind in most of the decision. While your motherly instinct flares in front of children, but if anybody commented against your beauty I can just pray for their well being. And by your expression I can confer that I am wrong, so can you tell me correct answer.

Genesis(Shook her head while Sighing): You are still as emotionless as back then. And here I hoped that you grew up when you made this romantic setting. *Sigh*. I tickled them till their muscles began twitching and after that they lose their conscious.

Rudra: Hey this is also a type of humor!!

Rudra then felt that he did something wrong and silently lost himself in her eyes. He noticed pitiful expression on her petite figure and heard something screaming at him to embrace her tightly, protect her and soothe her. But since he is dumb idiot he brushed aside those weird thoughts as rubbish. Then he again looked at her swollen eyes and beautiful sculpted face and felt, once again, that he did something very wrong. But this time he took a deep breath and made some distance between them before speaking once again.

Rudra(Seriously): Genesis, I don't know why my thoughts became so chaotic after hearing your words but it further confirm that I need escape from all this. I want control over my entire self but being bound in my divinity during a long passage of time, I can still feel illusionary chains bringing me back to my old self. I am unable to change. So, I can only renounce myself. *Sigh* I will go and solve problem of Infinity Core and after that I will begin my Moksha, if there will be no other way. But before that I need to know about new owner of the Spark of Enforcer.

{A/N: I changed his divinity to enforcer, just think of him as a cop who was not allowed to retire and for those who felt his words discouraging, he is literally a being equal to Supreme Being of Mythologies and have you heard them changing themselves, nope you have not. Changing with time is a power of Humans only, neither gods nor devils can adept themselves as fast as humans}

Genesis blinked her beautiful emerald eyes which widened a bit before asking "Hold on, I will tell you all about it. But before that tell me about your 'Chaotic Thoughts'. Tell me in details"

Rudra became perplexed on her demand but decided to pamper her as it was his last meeting with her. Little did he know that his words caused huge trouble, and also a blessing, for his incarnation as a love struck goddess started following him till eternity. He patted her hand like a father does to his spoiled princess. "I had some weird impulse towards you for few moment before I calmed myself. It was nothing special so there is no need for worry."

Genesis: What kind of impulse?

Rudra stopped his hand as he lifted her chin abruptly and stared deep in her eyes. She panicked a little due to sudden changes but then a huge pink blush adorned her face as she became most lovable creature in existence, obviously, only for these short moments.

Rudra: I can not explain properly, but it was as if someone was trying to move my arms around your waist and bring your face to my chest and sink into it, which I presume, would have been quite a suffocating experience for you. Then I had it told me to tightly hold you and if I did not do it I would have committed a grave mistake. And then...(While scratching his chin)

Genesis(Hysterically asked): THEN WHAT!!

Rudra: It told me to never leave you alone, to always protect you. It was quite weird because we are currently equal in strength and if you can not defend yourself, how can I do it. Well, whatever, it was not a big deal anyway. Now can you...Why are you so hot. Hmm, there must be some Manna Deviation. (He grabbed her shoulder tightly). Here you go I will help you while you stabilize your manna.

Genesis was concerned in beginning as she thought some one was trying to control him once again. But then she heard rest of the sentence her gentle aura vanished into chaotic mess. And by the time he ended listing his 'strange symptoms' her whole aura became atomic hot which led dumb Rudra to the conclusion that she had some problem in her Manna Flow. She just ignored his actions as she swiped away the tears of joy escaping from her eye glands. She looked at his face full of concern. And suddenly her eyes became full of determination as Rudra can swear that he saw some strange symbol in her eyes. {A/N: legendary heart in eyes from our *Cough* master *Cough* text}.

Rudra: This appears to be quite serious, Sis. You must hold on. I will help you. I told you that my words were chaotic and weird. But you insisted on listening to me. *Sigh* Let's do that. For remaining period I will help you to lower your temperature. Mortals taught me various kinds of practical methods. Your health is more important than the news about Enforcer Spark. It appears to be quite dangerous as I have not witnessed a Primordial to be effected by such a disease in my whole life.

Genesis(Shook her head and playfully smirked): No need to be so alert, My Dear Onii-Chan~. It is just a usual symptom of a disease caused due to you. It is controllable but it will get dangerous in future. But I need your help me to alleviate it.

Rudra tilted his head before asking "Well, if you feel fine then what I saw might be an illusion. And what's an Onii Chan."

Genesis playfully smiled before replying "Of course you are my one and only Onii-Chan~." "What I meant to ask that what is meaning of this world is this a new word back in our home."

Genesis: No I am not replying to you, Baka~ Onii-Chan~~{A/N: Baka i.e. fool is said to be originated from Sanskrit. So even if it has not been invented as per our story line, goddess here has a thick plot armor}. Ahem Let me tell you about Enforcer Spark.

Rudra tilted his head in confusion before dismissing her strange reactions as one of her childish action.

Genesis(In serious tone): As we believed, no one has been capable of fusing with spark even after so many years. Due to absence of a enforcer Pandora became a lot more chaotic then it already was. While we have recruited a capable machine god for helping us we are still a little helpless.

Rudra: Why not dividing it in smaller parts. It will be easier to control then.

Genesis(Shook her head): We tried but it becomes unstable every time we divide it.

Rudra: Hmm...Ah. You can achieve it with the help of Pinaka.

Genesis: Pinaka? Your bow? How can it be, No Wait. It is possible if we are able to mask your Soul Signature using it.

Rudra: Yes, Pinaka contains my imprint. Owner of Pinaka can pass off as me in front of divided spark. And since I am the cause of all this, let me help you one last time.

As Rudra finished saying his words he brought forth wooden crescent shaped primitive bow and divided it into smaller 12 pieces, which later grow to the size of original one but each of one had only 9 strings as compared to 108 in original. Without waiting for Genesis, he removed his ownership before giving last commands "You all shall be wielded by courageous and kind souls. They shall be impartial and ruthless while enacting justice. They shall have will to fight against evils and wisdom to distinguish truth hidden among the web of lies. They shall be treated as Heroes and enforcer of justice. They will be called as Maruts, Successor of Storm God, Rudra. You will become a symbol of fear to all evils and merciful towards your allies. And Pinakas, If any of them misused their powers their soul shall be trapped in your empty shells and they will become your food for more power."

Genesis(Shaking her head): Here we go again, Mr. Know It All doing whatever he wants without any feeling of others. I am now understand your reason to enter Moksha now. Atleast number of idiots will be reduced from today. But still thank you, it will help me as you have given me another reason to fortify our strength. Now go you have already done all you can. (She gently caressed his chins and jawline) It was a good that I listened to Vishnu and put my strand of consciousness inside you as a seal or else I would have lost my chance to meet you one last time.

Rudra gently nodded and his body started disappearing while having Genesis in his lap. He closed his eyes to think about next step as he felt some warm erratic wind over his mouth followed by a sweet wet sensation. He snapped open his eyes as he looked at Genesis, who had a playful smirk with a crimson face. He touched his lips and felt that he lost something important to him and looked questionably at his so called sister to know cause of this action. "This is what I needed to alleviate my symptoms, you did say you will help me. Have I done something wrong, Onii Chan."

While looking at her doe eyes Rudra felt slightly cheated before he dismissed his thoughts and said "It is Okay. Just don't use that foreign word from now, it gives a strange immoral vibes. Ahem. It was nice meeting you and if my incarnation does appear in our Universe, please ensure that he or she doesn't become owner of Pinaka. I don't want to do my old job again in future."

And then he completely disappeared as light particles lost their brightness along with whole dimension and in Pandora Supercluster, a beautiful lady woke up from her trance. She touched her charming lips in sensual manner that even monks would have become incarnation of lust upon seeing her. But this appears for few seconds as her aura returned to become gentle and caring once again.

"I will wait for you here. And this time I will not let you roam alone. I will join you and if I have to I will even give up on my own Spark for it. And next time no one will be able to save you from me, my Onii Chan.... Fufufu"

She said those last words while slightly opening her eyes in her office. She then smiled brightly in anticipation of future and went to complete her task for that fateful day.
