A magical land.. but all thanks to human.. and his greedy nature, all that has left are just memories.. of once glorious Kingdom... Raj doesn't know much about either the history or the apocalypse... that had happened 1000 years ago.. all that he knows is the fact .. that this place is his home, his safe haven.. or can say a hide out.. where , whenever he feels like life is giving him a hard time, he ran to and hide himself.. one month after Tina's death.. he had come here... to hide himself from the reality.. to run away from the world and it's cruelness... at that time.. his granny... had hold him , give him some hope.. and let him make something out of the situation... but who would have thought.. while he was about to reach the top most place of his life, his granny passed away... and he couldn't make it in time..
But , what he didn't know was the fact, that his granny was the last surviving member of the human civilization... that it was her ... and his grandpa , who make the human civilization , what it is today..
That , just to make sure that human race doesn't get extinct... they even sell their souls to the sacred creature... who in turn... order them to never ever leave the place... either as a living or as a dead... she knew her husband's soul was wandering somewhere in this place too.. so , she never feel like leaving this place... but ... then.. Tina ... she had long seen ... what the future awaits for that little girl. And for the first time , she wanted to leave this place..
But couldn't make it up... as her entire energy drained out and she blacked out at the very next moment...
That was the warning , the warning of the sacred creature , that she isn't allowed to leave this place...
But after three years .. she passed away...that was her punishment.... her punishment for breaching the rules... for trying second time ... to leave this place..
She just wanted to witness, his descendant's success... ... She has never loved anyone.. be it her child, her grandchild, her greatgrandchild.. or be it any of the descendant, she hasn't even like Shyam... but Raj ... only he , his aloof nature, his coldness, was able to make her fall for him ... time and time again...
She for the first time, fall in love with her descendant... she wanted to cherish him.. spoil him.. but ... he ... he always used to show his wounded , hurt self to her .. which let her console him and coax him like a child..
Maybe , that's why, she wanted to defy the heaven to see him... to celebrate his success.. but all hat she get in return is death..
An ultimate form of punishment for defying the heavens.. DEATH... After leaving in this world for more than 1000 + years , finally she got death, when she doesn't want to die.. She knew, Raj needed her.. as a guide.. as someone to talk to.. but the world is full of cruelness... and thus she left the world... And thus The Last Surviving Member of the Bloodshed, of the Slaughtered , of the Apocalypse... finally leave the world... mostly when she doesn't want to.. when she wanted to be someone who can comfort Raj... But fate... is fate...
And finally , Raj reached the territory of the city of legend... , and a shrill scream echoed in the surroundings... as the first warning.... a scream terrifying enough to make all the hairs of the person body to stood at end...
But he did nothing, just slowly slowly keep on moving... Just few metres he have moved with his car... and then... a python out of nowhere came into the road... luckily it wasn't that big, but it was more than enough to wallow a person... Raj just watch it passing slowly ... slowly through the road... he just stop the engine and let the python pass by ... on it's own.. Python didn't show any interest in vehicle but take a glance at human... and after watching the person.. he started hissing in a strange sound.. and started spitting venom on the side of the road.. and then passed away..
Raj just watch it pass... after all, his granny had told him.. that .. it is a jungle.. so meeting a wild animal is pretty natural... and he himself had met many wild animals.. in fact mostly met a wild animal ... whenever he comes this way..
As for the snake.. he was sending the 'Safe Signal' to everyone.. to the jungle ... to the creatures... everyone...
And finally after 7 hours long journey , he finally enters the liitle kutcha hut , whose floor is made of wood just like a tree house, whose walls are made up of mud and bricks made up of mud... whose doors and windows are made up of wood again.. as for roof... it was made up of strange plain natural slate stones... and it's basically a two storey hut... with ladder made up of mud bricks again...
Each storey contain 5 rooms.. as soon as one enters, he /she will be greeted by grand Main hall... with wooden or metal furniture.. then to the leftmost side was kitchen... whose mostly utensils were made up of mud or wood.. ... it doesn't carry any electrical or modern appliance... it even carry stones porducts..
Then just at the left leading the kitchen and hall comes a tiny dinning hall, where a table and chairs made up of mahogany wood , was placed... and there a wooden staircase too, that give this tiny dining hall, a majestic feeling..
Then to the right was a drawing room, where there was a grand fireplace as if to warm the entire house during winters.. and to the fireplace was a pair of chairs with a table in it's centre ... making it a majestically romantic.. while there was a little bookshelf , full of tonnes and tonnes of books... which one could read to pass time.. then there was one rocking chair too.. and there was still a basket with wool bundles in it... while the sticks used for weaving a sweater was also lying there... as any near moment, the granny will come... and start her weaving business..
Then to the complete right was a little tiny room... called Temple... the most sacred and pure place in the entire house, where the statues of idols were placed with utmost care , love and devotion... one can still listen to all the devotional songs and holy enchantments... although the person... who used to take utmost care of this place is no more..
As there are two stairs one wooden inside, one muddy outside.. it depends upon the person ... to whom he /she will choose.. in the second floor... there were 5 rooms too, one belongs to his grandmother... one to his grandfather... since grandmother started living in a separate room after grandfather's death, then one used to be his parents, one his... and there is one room... which is for the guest... if any comes... but in usual times... it's a practice room ; whether it's singing, dancing , painting , martial arts, cooking, instrumental or anything . This room is truly magical ... one can practise for hours ... without any feeling of tiredness or fatigue...
That's why, he loves this room the most... especially it's bookshelf which contains the collection of 100 books.
