"My lord looks like we reached The Capital of the Kosala kingdom , Dasarna."
Chetanya said while pointing down to the ground.
Everybody looked down , Where the houses of common peoples were built , There was all types of building huge to small and all types of shops to all types of food vendors shops , But Vriksha and the others didn't had any work there , so they just shifted there gazes from there to ahead of them , There could be seen the humongous golden palace of the king Satyavan of the Kosala kingdom.
Vriksha to Chetanya while pointing out his index finger at the widespread garden in front of the palace ,
"Let's land there , Chetanya"
"Yes , Sir!!"
The white light in which the five of them were travelling at a very fast speed , It fell on the ground with that very fast speed ,
*THUDD*
The ground trembled , And the soldiers and guards standing all around the palace , Faltered and tried to keep their balance but some of them fell on the ground .
"What was that?"
"Is it an earthquake?"
"No , looks like an enemy attack"
All the soldiers snouted with their faces full of fear , But then one of them pointed out at the location where Vriksha and others landed.
"Hey , Look there , They are the enemies."
The soldiers with their trembling legs tried to stand up and tried to pick their fallen weapons on the ground to get ready for the battle with the enemies that came in the palace uninvited , Then suddenly one of them cried out loud .
"They are , Adipuru .."
At that time it became evident to all of them that the people standing in front of them were not humans , seeing them all of them swallowed saliva down their throats in fear , It seemed even though the soldier outside had battled with the other races or spices that were not human , But it was the first for the guards and soldiers of the palace , The presence of Vriksha and the ministers sent shivers down their spines , And upon that Vriksha and the others had terrifying expressions on their faces , That also made the guards to shudder in fear more , With there shuddering body they tried to point out their weapons on Vriksha and the ministers , But then a voice stopped them ,
"All of you , relax !!, They are our guests , You shouldn't point your weapons at them ."
The man behind this voice was the Commander Amarendra (Chapter 8) ,with stroking his moustache and beard , Amarendra came forward and bending his upper half of body a bit , He said ,
"Sorry for the strange behaviour of our guards , King of kishkindha ."
Vriksha glared at Amarendra and in a very fierce tone he yelled ,
"Amarendra , I don't care about your apology or whatever. What do you think , why are we here for, huh ? Bring your prince in front of me , here , At once ."
"My lord , Relax , making haste will only lead to a war ,First we have to get the imprisoned Vanar Adipuru guard of ours out of there "
"I agree with Minister Chetanya , We should talk it out first ."
Calming himself down and placing his palm on his forehead Vriksha shook his head for a while , Then he looked at Amarendra again with his sharp eyes ,
"Aghhh …. I know , Okay first release the Vanar Adipuru immediately."
With a confused face Amarendra asked ,
"But aren't you going to talk things out first with The king ."
"That comes later ,Releasing the Vanar Adipuru from my kingdom comes first."
Inviting Vriksha and others to enter the castle Amarendra turned around ,
"Yeah…. okay then , Well we hadn't even arrested him in the first place , But he was causing commotion all around , So we didn't have any choice , but to imprison him."
Amarendra led them inside the palace , after crossing the gigantic hall which was made out of golden colored marble , They all walked from a side door which led them to a dark corridor , And after walking inside this dark corridor and after going down some stairs they started to see prison cells on both sides .When they all reached to the very last prison cell there , They saw inside it was Virat (Chapter 8) chained in heavy black chains , Constantly trying to break out from those chains , that was only Harming him .
"Virat."
Chetanya in a very low tone called out Virat's name , Hearing this Virat immediately lifted his head and looked at them ,
"Huh ?! … Minister Chetanya and The king ."
Vriksha signalling Amrendra with his head to open the gate of the prison cell said ,
"Yeah , we all are here to take you back to the Kishkindha kingdom."
Hearing that Virat's pupils shrunk down instantly and he lowered his head down and while crying he grumbled ,
"But , Sir , The prince of theirs killed my parents , In front of me …. I want to kill that bas***d. But , What I will going to say to my little sister , How will I ever going to show my face to her , How will I say to her , That I was not even able to protect them …. How."
Vriksha while lifting his eyebrows looked at Chetanya ,
"His little sister?"
Chetanya whispered ,
"Yes , Sir , Virat has a sister , Named Prakriti ,And the girl happens to be the one who saved the princes today ."
While sharpening his eyes Vriksha looked past the prison cell with a serious look on his face ,
"Oh!!"
******
Prakriti while pushing Tikshana ahead , said ,.
"Don't worry Tikshana , We will handle the other one you just focus on that one ."
Nodding her head Tikshana walked at Vibhu who was coming at her running like a maniac , And on the other side Prakriti , Keshav and Bali walked a bit and stood in front of The other soldier named Jatin , Jatin's armor was heavily dented due to the strike before from Tikshana that sent him flying away and also his spear was bended when Tikshana grabbed it , Jatin thinking he didn't need an armor and spear against those kids , and then again the armor and spear were damaged , so it will only come in his way so he took off the upper part of the armor and spear along with the helmet and threw it away ,
*TUNGG*
Now his face and body was clearly seen ,He was a transparent brown furred Adipuru and the same scars as Vibhu could be also seen on his whole body , Stretching his hands a bit he loosened his arms as if he was preparing himself to beat down the kids aggressively,
"Bali , Keshav , Take this , You'll need that."
Prakriti took out two staff from her bag and handed over each of them to Bali and Keshav .
And while swinging the staff in her hand Prakriti with a very firm voice said ,
"So are you ready , To beat him down ."
Keshav and Bali hesitantly replied ,
"Yea — Yeah , we think so."
"So let's go ."
Prakriti ran ahead of those two and reaching near Jatin she jumped a bit and swung the staff in her right hand.
*SWISH*
It looked like it was going to hit Jatin's jaw very clearly , But Jatin just grabbed the staff from his left hand in mid way .
"CHAK*
While glaring at Prakriti who was in mid air Jatin said ,
"You really believe that you brats can beat someone who has been training his whole life just to kill ."
Jatin clenched his fist and hit on Prakriti's stomach ,
"THWAKK*
From the impact of that hit a loud groan came out from Prakriti's mouth ,And with that grown she flew away and fell on the ground rolling ,
"UGHH"
*THUD ….THUD ….. THUD*
Keshav seeing that ran toward Jatin ,
"Prakriti….. You …."
Keshav was going to swung his staff but ,Hating dodged it ,And hit Keshav on his face ,
*SWISHH*
*POWW*
Keshav was Al's flew far away and fell on the ground while rolling for a couple of times ,
*THUD …. THUD …. THUD*
Seeing the condition of those to Bali's face covered on sweat and now he was just standing afar gulping his saliva again and again ,
'How are we supposed to beat someone more powerful than us .'
Seeing Bali standing there dazed Prakriti shouted ,
"Bali , Don't freak out , He can't use Shakti , So we have a chance in beating him."
Prakriti's shout snapped him out , And while fighting his grip on the staff he ran toward Jatin ,
'No Shakti , huh …let's see then.'
Jatin seeing that Bali was coming at him instead of running away he laughed ,
"Hahaha … Do you think the fact that I don't have any Shakti will change anything , Come at me prince Bali , Whatever the case we are here to get rid of you."
When Bali reached bear Jatin swinging his staff ,
'Okay , then '
He shouted loudly ,
"RAAAAAHHH"
Prakriti also came running from the left and swung her staff again. Jatin tried to grab both of the staff of Bali's and Prakriti simultaneously , But At the same time Keshav also swung his staff and hit Jatin on his abdomen with all his might .
"RAAAAHHH"
*THUDDD*
"Ugh"
When Jatin tried to hit Keshav with his right leg , Prakriti while still in mid air and her staff grabbed bg Jatin , She swung her right leg at Jatin's face and hit him ,
*SMACK*
"UGHH"
Following Prakriti at the same time Bali also tried to pound his legs on Jatin's face but Jatin dodged that and let go of Bali's and Prakriti staff while backing down a bit ,
Keshav seeing that they are able to hit Jatin couple of times already , in a joyous tone he shouted ,
"It's working, we can do that ."
Scratching where he was just being hit , Jatin leaped at Keshav at full speed and smacked him on his face ,
"Yeah ,In your Dreams kid."
*POW*
Blood spilled out from Keshav's mouth and he fell on his knees , Seeing that Bali yelled ,
"Keshav…"
Prakriti in a serious tone asked Bali to just focus the enemy in front of them and she immediately jumped at Keshav again while swinging her staff ,
"Don't stop."
"Eeeyeaaaaa"
*SWISH*
Prakrit was swinging her staff but Jatin doged all of her attack and hit her again and again ,
"What's wrong with me ,Is I'm nervous because I had already experienced death and I don't want to go through that again , Or I'm afraid of this new world's danger , No when I reborn here again , I saw that I have now people around me that care about me , So I'm not afraid of this world but I want to stay with all of them here , Then is I'm afraid because I'm weak , No… look at Prakriti she's a kid , same age as me but she's showing no sign of fear , Come on snap out of it , You became an adult in your past life already so you should behave like that too ."
Seeing that all standing there Bali slapped his own cheeks and with putting confidence he ran toward Jatin again ,
'Aghh … You have to do it Ritesh … No Bali , Just focus , focus , FOCUS '
"Raaaahhhh"
*THUD*
