Filled with despair and agony Vasu was wandering around the mountains in search for power after learning the village. He has lost all his reasoning. He killed many beasts in his chaotic state in just a month. He has turned into an animal who has no meaning in life and just surviving without any aim. The feeling of not having enough power and the not fulfilling the responsibility to protect her made his heart break down to thousands of pieces. Because of his weakness he can not even do anything particular to made a progress to fulfil his vow. It made him fell into misery.
"Vasu! Vasu! Vasu! you could have helped us. You could have saved all of us." The villagers who are on fire are questioning him.
"Vasu! why did not you save me then?" "Cecilii! you are alright." When he reached her she started to burn and disappear from his sight.
"Noooo..."
"Again, I have been having the same nightmare for a month. I am still powerless as befor and doing nothing except wandering around aimlessly."
Another morning full of despair.
He woke up in a cave that he spent the night before and start to move towards the direction of the sun leaving the purple stone. He began to search for food. While searching for food he heard a loud scream.
"Huh! what was that strange sound?"
"It doesn't seems like it is the sound of an animal. Let's have a look what is that noise."
He dashed towards the sound. He reached a small valley and looked down. He got astonished by seeing the giant creature.
"It looks like a mammoth! I have not even seen an elephant yet. But it is a mammoth?"
The mammoth has a keen eyes and it spotted him immediately. The mammoth rushed towards him furiously.
"I should leave this place as soon as possible. I am in a higher place so it will be safe but I should hurry."
But he has no idea what is the power of that creature. The mammoth jumped and climbed the hill instantly.
"The hell is this creature? It just jumped. Seriously is it even possible with that size."
It chased after him. He ran towards the forest with all his might.
"I will be safe if I reach the cave. It can not enter the cave with it's size. But it is too fast. How can such a giant run and jump around with such a huge body"
It chased after him all the way throughout the forest destroying the trees and throwing rocks and tress towards him. After running for a while he got tired but it has a lot of energy to spare. Suddenly a rock flew towards him and struck him down. At that moment he fell down on the ground screaming in a lot of pain. The creature glared at him and started to move around him. It picked it up and threw him in air. He collided with a big rock and vomited blood. The despair and fear struck him hard. He sat down with all his might holding the only knife he has.
"I am a normal human without any special power. Why is this happening to me. I even can not even manage to avenge the villagers. Is it going to be my end? In the end I even can't become a little bit stronger. In the end I am going to die hopelessly without achieving anything."
"No I don't want to die yet. I can't just die yet. I'm not allowed to die yet." In the depth of despair Vasu hold the knife with his both hands and pointed towards the mammoth.
Suddenly a unknown man; with long white hair wearing old and torn clothes holding a sword made an appearance.
"You are a brave one. You did great enduring it till the end. I will take care of it."
After seeing another person the mammoth screamed with a loud voice and rushed towards him.
"You are annoying and an evil one."
After saying he swung his sword immediately. The power of this swing sliced through the mammoth and it died instantly. The difference of power is visible clearly.
"He just sliced that monster into half with just a single swing."
When that monster died he took a breath of relief and lost his consciousness.
"Huhhh...."
Vasu opened his eyes. His body is in pain with several bones broken.
"I am still alive. I am lucky or I am just forsaken by the death."
"I think you are not allowed to have peace till yet. You know everyone despise death. But you know Life is hard, but Death gives you the actual peace. You are not allowed to die yet. So clench to your life and try hard to live without any regrets."
He looked at the man sitting on the ground.
"You are?"
"I am the one who saved you from that demonic creature. I am known by RAMABHADRA of the Janapav village. But it is a surprise that you don't have any knowledge about these things. Where are you from kid?"
"So, you helped me. Thanks for the kindness. I am just a nobody. I am from Vilas village. My whole village was slaughtered because of some shitty horse ritual."
"Ohh, so you have survived the slaughter of the warriors. But a warrior is atleast ten times more powerful than the creature. But you can't even defeat it. You are way too weak. How did you manage it?"
"I was just lucky. I was in the forest gathering woods at the time of attack. But it was all my fault. I should have there with the villagers at that crucial moment. I am coward who just survived out of dumb luck. I should have died back then."
Ramabhadra glared at him with a surprising eyes.
"Huh, you think like that. But you are shouting, I can't die yet in your sleep."
"I vowed to the heavens that I will avenge the death of the villagers. But I am just weak without any power who can't even use 'Virya' and I have also no knowledge of outside."
Ramabhadra thought of something and then suggested him,
"What will you do if I tell you I will teach about all these things about the outside world and also teach you about 'Virya' and how to use a weapon?"
"I will gladly accept this offer. You are strong and I want to at least become as strong as you."
"But why are you willing to help me? I am just a nobody to you."
"Hey, do you know that you are a rude one. I am letting you to stay a my place and even treated your wounds. I even killed that monster beast to save you."
"Sorry, but it is not normal for someone to help others let aside putting your life on line to help others."
"When did I put my life on line to save you? You are just too weak. It is not even a warm up for me to kill that monster. And as for teaching you the stuffs it is just my intuition. So what are you going to do?"
"I am too weak. I have to become stronger than anyone. I want you to teach me. No, please teach me to become stronger."
"Hahahaha. Ok, I will teach you. But for now just focus on healing. I think it will take about a masa to properly heal your wounds. Then we will start your training. So, I'm going outside to gather some food. I don't want to starve to death here. Get enough rest and don't move around too much. I'm not going to tend you again. It is too bothersome. I'm off then."
And he just left like that. A man who is that much strong going to teach me. I will train hard to become strong. He clenched his fist and promised to himself once again.
"Hey, you still have not given your name."
"Vasusena. I was called by this name before."
"Ohh. Ok, I'm going off then. Rest well."
One month after
Ramabhadra is standing in front of his house and from behind Vasusena asked him,
"What are you doing there in the morning?"
"I think you have healed now."
"Yes, I also think so."
"Ok, but don't stain yourself that much. You have no idea about anything. You are like just a new born baby. I'm going to train you hard and make you learn the basics. But it depends upon you how much you can improve. Just remember the strongest warrior has the strongest base. So, from now on you are going to run everyday ten Kosas from tomorrow and don't ever try to slack off." After saying that Ramabhadra left his side.
"I understood."
"Finally I am going to start my training."
He looked towards the sky. "You are looking at me. Just you wait I will avenge you all oneday."
