Soham wasn't the only one. Apart from Brother Fernandez and the kids, everyone exuded the same vibe.
Surbhi shivered as chills ran down her spine from the sudden change in everyone's mood. This was a side of her family that she never saw before.
Brother Fernandez continued, ignoring the change of mood.
" Where are they now??? "
" They are here and are watching our every move from the sky but, I can't exactly pin point them. " Nitiya was feeling totally defeated because no matter how hard she tried she couldn't pin point them, let alone control them which would have been a much better solution to their current situation. . " They are hiding in the sky and attacking the dome with energy beams.
" I'd be surprise if you could pin point them.. " Soham commented in a cold and distant tone. His previous gentleness was long lost. " They are famous for playing hide and seek."
" Yeah!!! Except, this time they brought company. " Kaya's tone reflected a similar deep rooted hatred. She was fuming just at the mention of those sly crooks.
" It's definitely for a reason...They won't do anything unless its absolutely necessary. " Even though Nani was calm on the outside, on the inside she boiling with uncontrollable rage. Past replay itself in her eyes in the most unpleasant way.
' If only we weren't cursed.... ' she thought.
However, she quickly recovered, since there was no point brooding over something that can't be helped. " By the way Nakash!!! Dear, why didn't you stop time?? If I'm not wrong then that's your special move and would have been the most favourable option for this situation than anything else... "
Nani's question hit the nail on the head....
Nakash looked at Nani than the others and judging from the looks that he received, it seemed everyone had the same question in mind.
Letting out a defeated sign he finally pulled the cat out of the bag.
" It's mom, Nani!!!! She is somewhere called the realms of time along with the rainbow necklace. I don't know exactly what it is nor do I know as to where it is but, she is there somewhere and if I stop time then I'm afraid that it will effect the realm and mom will be trapped in there. "
Everyone : "... "
Nakash carefully chose his words to explain himself still, he failed to understand why he was on the receiving end of such threateningly quizzical glares.
' What wrong did I say now ??? '
Nitiya on the other hand, was solely focused on first calming herself down and than clearing her head. She reassessed the whole thing in her mind one by one, finally realizing the blunder she made.
' Panic is not good for mental health.... Lesson learned..' She cursed herself and swore that she would never trust Nakash for matters like this again without first investigating things herself.
' This whole mommy waking up thing has gotten into my head... '
It was exactly as Brother Fernandez said, they totally misinterpreted their mother's disappearance which lead them into conveying wrong messages and further into taking wrong decisions.
" We are sorry Father!!! Sorry Nani!!! We were only trying to help but, we ended up causing even more trouble than it's worth. "
Seeing Nitiya apologise so profusely, now Nakash took up his turn and threw a quizzical look at everyone including his very own sister.
Meeting her brother's questioning look, Nitiya let out an exasperated sign and began to explain things in simple terms since Nakash so generously provided them with the required time.
According to what she explained, it turned out that before in the zero cosmos there was nothing but, an infinite energy who was omniscient. When that energy took a physical form it came to be known as The Great Arcruz, the Infinity Being. As per the legend, the Great Arcruz created three infinite domains which marked the beginning of creation. Amongst the three, ' The Realms of Time ' was the first. It is a legendary dimension where time actually originated before begin distributed. It is a completely different dimension where only time can exist. After the Realms of Time, the Great Arcruz created The Fountain of Space followed by The Labyrinth of Reality. These three together form the domain of Infinity. Each domain then created a representative who later came to be known as The Trinity consisting of three gods who were shouldered with the task of creation, preservation and destruction.
Lord Icarus from the Fountain of Space created the gods, the Heaven and Hell. Lord Alexius from the Labyrinth of Reality was tasked to protect and preserve the creation. Last but never the least Lord Marvolio from the Realms of Time was incharge of overseeing the smooth working of the creation and in case things got out of Lord Alexius's control then he would step in and destroy the creation as well as set the foundation for a new creation.
With so much said, there was a catch.
After the Trinity was created and put to work the Great Arcruz dwelled in the infinity domains from where it was capable of overseeing the working of the creation and god's. However, only and only Great Arcruz can excess these domains and none else nor did anyone knew the exact location of these dimensions.
It is believed amongst the gods that these dimensions are creations in themselves and are much more than what they have been able to create.
Some time passed after the formation of the seven universes, when a Dark Vortex appeared in the Cosmos out of nowhere. It was an exact opposite of what Lord Icarus created.
Feeling challenged by the appearance of the Dark Vortex, the gods waged a war in order to destroy it and paid no heed to the several warnings of the Trinity. Initially they did managed to cause some massive damages to it. However, they forgot the basic principle the Great Arcruz mentioned before parting.
' Everything ever created will have two forms. It will be their choice as to which form they choose to adopt. But fear not, those rejected will find their fate in mine. '
Harmless as it was, the Dark Vortex silently suffered the never ending humiliation and damage from the gods, who claimed themselves to be the supreme of the seven universes.
But not for long.....
In order to protect themselves and avenge their humiliation the Sorcerer was born from the deepest darkness of every being ever created by Lord Icarus.
He then forged what the Shephora today calls the Dark Army. When met with their match the gods shrugged in fear losing everything. They prayed to the Trinity to put an end to this war. Empowered by negativity of the gods, the Dark Vortex grew darker and stronger to the point that they now have lost all sense of sanity. They were not the only one though, drunk in their supremacy, arrogance, greed and lust the gods too forgot their boundaries, jeopardising the balance of power and harmony.
War after war were fought....
Innocents were slaughtered.....
Creation was threatened....
Seeing the circumstances getting out of Lord Alexius's control, Lord Marvolio stepped in lending a hand. At first he was all about destroying the creation until Lady Clytia reasoned with him. Unfortunately, his ability of destruction threatened the existence of the Dark Vortex. They used their fear and planted seeds of doubts in the minds of the gods about the same, turning them against each other.
Led by Zoltracks, king of the Gods, they all charged on Lord Marvolio which finally ended after the destroyer was destroyed.
With Lord Marvolio out of the way, both sides waged wars to take control of the seven universes and spared none who stood in their way until Lady Clytia scarified herself in order to protect the Shephora which earned the protectors of each universe some borrowed time.
Never the less, it wasn't enough to stop the consequences from reflecting back. The reason of their powerlessness today was one such consequence of the war and madness of the gods.
Rather than going into the details of what actually caused the powerlessness, Nitiya moved on to clear all the misconception they were holding on.
Since their mother was in the Realms of Time, she was safe and she didnot abandon them which was what Nakash concluded under the influence of his inferiority complex. She also explained that when the crystal necklace entered the Realms of Time along with their mom, it left it's essence behind in order to protect them and that is the reason why the magic dome appeared even when the necklace was absent.
