In the Aksem forest the soldiers of the camps were searching for the Prince's.
"Abhidev you go to the north ..me and Gourva will search in the east... Ranjna and Kavitri will search in the west."
"Yes ,sir"
On the order of their leader , Vikram , The five Adipuru soldiers ran in different directions.
*****
After searching for a while in the wild Vikram and Gourva still didn't find any clue where the two Prince's had gone.
Tired after searching in this dense forest Gourva looked at Vikram with an anxious expression.
"I don't think they went in this direction sir,we they did , we could had found something about their whereabouts "
"Yeah ...I think the same too .. we should head back and ask the three , if they found them or not"
"Yeah , sir!"
Vikrama was going to turn back than suddenly he heard a loud cry.
AHHHHHHH
"What ... what was that"
Gourva and Vikram immediately ran towards the voice . When they reached there they found two little Adipuru at the age of six the same as Bali ,one was a girl and another was a boy climbing on a tree trying to escape from some giant mushroom-like plants , that were almost the size of themselves.
"Ahh please ...someone kill these things "
The girl cried while still desperately hanging on the tree,Vikram jumped on the plants and crushed them with his bare fist.
KCHHAAAACK
The giant plants crushed and exploded of their inner juice .
"Yuck...This is disgusting"
The kids came down from the tree and started to clean the juice that spilled over their clothes.
Founding some kids in Aksem forest ,Vikram furiously yelled at the kids but,
"What are you doing..wait a minute !!..You are from , Mahsam school."
"Yes we are..... and we were here to look for the Kurupoudhi plant "
"But..... are you not supposed to be in a group of three people ?"
The girl answered this question while showing her teeth,
"Yes we were three, when we entered here,but our friend Prakriti she's a little wild so she went ahead of us"
*****
"AAAAHHHHHHHHHH"
Bali and Sugreev , both shouted at the top of their lungs, Something was pulling them both, In the dark forest more and more.
When they came out of the bushes then , Bali saw , that the thing... that was grabbing Sugreev's body was a twig of a plant ,That plant had long tentacles like twigs and they were wiggling like hands of an octopus,The plant itself was looking like a monster with its big mouth, that was dripping with some type of saliva.
Though the plants twig , That was grabbing Sugreev was tossing them around , Still Bali didn't let go of Sugreev's hand , He was still holding it.
Sugreev's expression turned into horror and he looked at Bali while crying with that face , full of fear.
"Ahhhhh....brother....help me...."
"Don't worry ...I'm here..."
Even though Bali was putting on a facade of bravery ,Inside his mind he knew ,He couldn't do anything in that situation.
'What I do now..It was my mistake ...we should not come here...Sorry brother Sugreev... I just ignored the fact that even though it's a fantasy world...The dangers are more extreme here then my past life world.'
The monstrous plant lifted both of them up and slowly pulled them near its mouth while widening its mouth ,It seemed he was going to eat them,But suddenly he turned his body to the left.
SHKK SHKKK SHHHHKKKK.
Something was coming from that side with a very fast speed.Then while cutting the wild bushes and plants that something jumped on the monsterous tree.Bali looked at that something and it was a person.
"EEEYAAAHHHH"
*SLASHH*
That person cut down the twig that was grabbing Sugreev,And as it cut down Bali and Sugreev both fell to the ground.
DHUMMM
Bali looked at that person to figure out who that was ,Then he saw the person still in the air holding a staff that had a blade on its corner.Bali started to stand up to look to see clearly who was there then that person turned his head to Bali.
"A girl...Red hair?"
"KHAAAAAAAAAAA"
The monstrous plant cried with pain and started moving his boughs acutely while destroying nearby plants and trees with his sharp twigs.
The Red haired girl landed on the ground near the two brothers and made a pose of protecting them with her staff , from those twigs.
"Are you okay..."
The girl asked Bali , Looking back at him with her bright smiling face.
"Yeah ...Yeah..But"
"Don't worry I will handle it , you just stay behind me"
The girl slowly started to walk to the plant's mouth , while swinging her staff and cutting the acutely moving twigs of that plant.
CHHHAKKK CHHAKKK CHAAKKK
When she almost reached its mouth a twig suddenly attacked her from behind.
"Hey....beHIND YoU"
Bali shouted to warn her but at the same time suddenly , something grabbed that twig.
"A red tail....?!"
The girl's red tail grabbed the twig without any struggle.
'For a moment I thought she's a normal human but she's an Adipuru'
The girl was still trying to keep moving but a strong swing of a twig , threw her away.
ZHAPPP!!
The girl was thrown away in the same direction where Bali and Sugreev were standing in shock.
DHUMP!!
"Hey are you okay?!"
"Yeah.. I'm fine."
The girl stood up immediately and from her facial expression it seemed that she was enjoying fighting this monster tree.
' I don't want to use 'Shakshi's' useless toys...but looks like , I don't have a choice'
She detached the staff's blade that was added on both its sides.
ClANk CLANK
After that she took out something from her bag. It was a golden pipe looking thing and then she attached this pipe to one side of her staff.
KACHANK
The girl stood up and started to walk to the plant again ,.Bali grabbed her hand to stop her .
"Hey ..that thing is dangerous let's run from here"
The girl turned back and let go of Bali's hand ,She smiled at the same time, placing her hands on Bali's shoulder and patting him slowly.
"You don't have to worry about that.... its dangerous thats makes it more fun , right ?!....You yourself are here in this Aksem forest knowing it will be dangerous for you .... it's our, Vanar Adipuru's tendency to put ourselves in dangers and fight it out."
Listening to these amazing words from a girl who was the same age as he was , but if he had to add his past life , he was still far older than her but her words felt more mature to him than he ever uttered in his both past and present life.
The girl swung her staff expeditiously .
SHAAAPPP
Where she just added a new pipe like think on that staff , Something came out from it , something pointy looking thing.
CLING
Bali gasped to see the girl standing bravely in front of that monstrous plant , while holding the staff that now became...
"A....Scythe?!"
The girl took a long leap and cleared the gap between her and that plant in just a blink of an eye , then at the same time she Swung the scythe with her full might at the hideous plant.
EEEEYAAAHHHHH
CHHHAAAAKKK
Just with this attack alone , the plant cut in half and fell on the ground ,Bali was standing there in amazement and Sugreev was still lying on the floor covering his head with his hands.
******
"So what was your name again ?!"
Bali ,Sugreev and that girl were now walking through the dense forest.
'She is powerful and she also has weapons... we should be careful about revealing our identity..What if she's someone who might harm us.'
Bali thought that with a cautious look on his face look at the girl and as he was going to tell that girl fake names.
"AH ..Our names are Rite..."
"My name is Sugreev and this is my big brother Bali."
Sugreev who was walking at the right side of Bali taking a distance from that girl now jumped before the two of them and while smiling revealed his and Bali's true names.
But Bali stopped walking and placed his palm on his face and spun his head left and right in disappointment , as he was not happy to hear Sugreev's haste answer.
'You ... idiot ... she could be someone who wants to take revenge on the king or queen .. that's the most dangerous part about these fantasy worlds , where everybody wants to eradicate someone in power'
But the girl placed her hands on both of the brothers' backs and applying force from her hands on their backs she made them come closer and it became a position where it looked that the three of them were hugging.
OH!! ... Sugreev and Bali .. I don't know why , but it seems , I heard it before ... well I can't remember it now..By the way my name is Prakriti ..nice to meet you two."
Bali smiled to see such a warm but unexpected behaviour from Prakriti .
'She don't know the Prince's of her own kingdom .. wow ..looks like I don't have to concern about this girl '
"Umm .. May I ask you where we are going, Prakriti?"
"Hmm.. look here "
Prakriti moved the tree beaches that was covered in leaves , When the three of them looked past the tree leaves ,There was a beautiful scenery of a waterfall sliding down from the mountain and a pond that was shining blue ,To saw this amazing scenery Bali and Sugreev was taken aback and started to admire this natural beauty.
"Wow .. beautiful!!"
"Right ..isn't it beautiful?This became my favourite spot , After I discovered it five months ago... by the way I'm drenched in sweat and that plant's liquid type juice , After fighting that ugly plant thing ..So do you want to clean off yourselves in that pond too.
The three of them stood there for a while then ran to the pond to jump in it.
"Yayyyyy"
Prakriti was the first to dive in the pond behind her was Sugreev but Bali was stopped at the shore of the pond.
"Hey...What happened ..are you not coming in?"
Prakriti and Sugreev both signed from their hands to come in.
Bali hesitated a little but then started approaching the pond.
"Oh..yeah"
As Bali stepped his feet in the water Prakriti and Sugreev threw water at him one after another.
"Hey ... Stop it..hey.. "
Prakriti stopped throwing water at Bali and looked at both Bali and Sugreev with her red crystal like eyes.
"I don't know why ...but I bring you here ..And to my surprise... I'm really enjoying the company of you two "
Bali giggled a bit.
"Do you not have friends or what?"
"Yeah not a lot but ,.... well you know , that... the female Adipuru looks too much identical to human women , we don't have the same bodies and features as the males , except our tails ... That difference.... caused a lot of discrimination between male and females in the past but In some last years , the discrimination was less then before , because of our new king , but the thing is ..... I always beat down the boys , In every competition and I always come out on the top in everything ....So because of jealousy , they always distance themselves from me... And upon that there are not a lot of females here so that's why!"
Bali and Sugreev stood still as Prakriti blabbered endlessly , Bali swung his hand.
"Oh ! ....Ahh let's forget about that yeah... hey .. I want to ask you ..what were you doing in this forest ?"
Prakriti's facial expression changed into worry.She put her both hands on her head and screamed loudly.
"Ohhhhhhh! Nooooooo ...I totally forgot ... About the Kurupoudhi plant , I had been given a task to take it back to school"
"School ?!"
"What you don't know school?"
"No ! it's not that I don't know what school is but , .... 'I didn't knew you were from a school.. , but a Task was given ? does the school ask you to go in dangerous places and fight with these type of monsters"
" ...yes ... The plant was basically will be used for medical purposes"
'This worlds schools are too.... sounds dangerous'
"Wait a minute ... You look the same age as me .. Are you not attending any school.. there are three of them in Kishkindha"
"Well... you know , the policy of the Vanar Kingdom that every child should start going school from the age of five. So when I turned five last year , my parents wanted me to go to school but I insisted that me and my brother should go at the same time , He is turning five today."
"Well ... never heard of this kind of thing before , does your parents have lots of property that you want to give both of you equal opportunity to acclaim that....
And Sugreev, happy birthday."
Sugreev blushed a bit then immediately said.
"Haha...Thanks but ... Big brothers birthday is also today so,"
Prakriti looked at Bali and scoffed .
What ?!...Yours too well... happy birthday to you too then."
"haha.. thanks"
"Well .. good for you ... you both siblings can enjoy your school life together"
Bali in a relaxed manner asked Prakriti.
"What about you ? ... do you have a sibling"
Prakriti looked to the right near the pond shore white flowers were blooming , Looking at them in a monotone she answered.
"Well I have an older brother , but he is a lot older than me , so he.... already cleared school and Now he is doing his job protecting the businessmen.... and my parents who sell products outside the Kishkindha kingdom."
Bali with a surprised face splashing pond's water all around jumped ahead .
"Your parents do business .. What kind of business?"
Prakriti turned her gaze from the flowers to Bali's face.
"Well they always change their plans about business from time to time , and the last time I heard they were selling clothes.. well I can't meet them until the end of this year."
Bali pondered for a while then after a gaze fell on his wet clothes he jumped suddenly.
"Wait...... Ohhhhhhh Nooooooo....our clothes they are wet .... "
Prakriti laughed hysterically .
"Huh....you just noticed it ...Well I have extra clothes for me ,But for you....I think you two don't need them , you are covered in hairs all around your body so what's difference were clothes make ....
As she was going to say any further her head turned upward after hearing a loud voice.
Hey.....Look something is coming from up there."
Prakriti pointed her fingers to the sky , Something was coming their way , glowing with white colour.
