The light coming from the small ball was too strong that it immediately made the minister standing beside wonder what was happening. But again! No matter how he wanted to lift his head up and see, it was not possible. Not being able to take it anymore, he closed his eyes tightly.
"Open your eyes child." A soft and tender voice echoed. When the Yama heard that familiar voice, a tinge of emotions spread across his chest and eyes. No matter how much ruthless a person can be, but even a person with a stoned heart would instantly melt in front of his mother, beloved and daughter. His mercilessness could never surface whenever he is in front of any of the above three.
Taking a deep breath he masked his emotions and opened his eyes. Looking at the white soul in front his chest pained for a brief moment of second but he did not let any emotions to appear on his face. Kneeling down on one knee he bowed his head down and said in a low voice.
"Divine soul, accept my all the prayers." He raised his both the hands with his palm opened in front. His hair was constantly flowing behind him along with the wind. At the pitch dark night, the light emanating from the white soul had brightened the whole area.
When the divine soul heard Yama, she smiled and said.
"Accepted my child. What do you want?"
The Yama raised his head and spoke in an indifferent voice after thinking for quite a long time.
"I want your protection divine soul. Your shield to protect us." Asking for protection from the divine souls was very obvious among all the sects. But as we say that everything has cost. So protection as well was never something that was free.
With every protection from someone who did not belonged to their clan or sect, the one who was offering prayers had to offer something which could be valuable for the soul. And for every soul, the only thing which was valuable was to cultivate a soul who was black as hell and not clear like a pure soul. Knowingly, the Yama also added.
"I know you want to cultivate dark and bad souls, I offer you souls. Please accept them." Once the Yama finished speaking, immediately in the next second, five bright ball like sources of lights appeared in front of Yama.
The divine soul smiled slightly and said.
"Along with it, won't you offer me pure blood of someone with the divine blood?" When the divine soul questioned, the minister who was standing with his head bowed and eyes closed, instantly opened his eyes widely. But he did not forget to control his eagerness to look up!
Inwardly the minister had understood that the blood about which the divine soul was demanding belonged to Sylia. The Yama, himself understood quickly as he lowered his sight and nodded his head after a brief moment of seconds.
Standing up, he quickly went inside, meanwhile the minister stood there with his head bowed. He wanted to go and stop his master burt could not build up the courage.
When Yama looked at Sylia, he pondered whether he was doing right after using her in offering blood? But what was wrong in that? He was a musculine Asur, what is there that he can't do?
He raised his hand and muttered a few words. Immediately in the next second, a bowl or more precisely a crucible appeared in his hand along with a knife like object.
He moved forward and took her wrist. Her soft and tender hands were so thin that immediately made Yama wonder whether she ate anything in her life or not? How come she is so thin and weak? But soon he realised how stupid he was to think that. Once she was being abducted and treated so unfairly, then how come she would be in a good health?
Shaking his head, again a thought came up popping. He again wondered whether he was right or wrong?
But recalling that he need to head back soon, he did not wasted another second and using the knife like object he quickly made a straight cut on her palm and poured the blood inside the crucible. Drip by drip, the crucible filled up to the brim. The Yama placed down her hand and was just about to turn tpo leave, his eyes landed on her face which contained a painful expression. He understood that what he did just now must have made her hurt. However he did not had the time to look at her. Shrugging the thought and sight of her painful face, he turned and left the room. With large steps he walked towards the shore and immediately bemt to present her the crucible filled with the blood.
The divine soul was impressed and she immediately waved her hands which made a shield on the sky but soon it disappeared. The Asuras portal was completely secured and shielded now which meant no matter who would try to get inside, nobody could while the spies which serpents and other enemy clans must have implanted were of no use. Yama smirked as his eyes brightened. He crossed his both the hands in front of his chest making a cross, and said.
"Thank you for your blessings, divine soul."
As soon as Yama's words finished, the divine soul immediately disappeared.
"Master the princess…"
As soon as Yama heard his minister, he recalled that painful expression of her. It had made him feel bad and maybe… guilty!
