Chapter 8 - Rookie joins The Kamakshi

What, where I am. A beam of light was disturbing my vision and was making me blind. But when my eyes adjusted to the background lighting I found out it was day in front of my eyes. What is going on here? I know it was 8 pm just now then how.

"We are near Kirkjufell and Kirkjufellsfoss Waterfall I am sure you have heard about them somewhere Mr Genius or should say Rakesh" voice of a girl reached my ears from behind, It was none other than Pragya, my classmates. Sitting on an 8ft large boulder.

"Wait how what is going on here and what you said where was I, " I asked in surprise.

"It's Iceland you idiot didn't you read about this place in geography class in class 9th about 'Kirkjufell and Kirkjufellsfoss Waterfall' one of the most beautiful places to visit, "she asked.

"Honestly, no I don't remember those topics from my childhood, I don't have sharp memory like you have besides how the hell I am going to recognise a place I have never been to before," I asked in a very arrogant manner.

"Seems like you two are enjoying yourselves" a bald guy to my right spoke up. I didn't even realise he was there until he spoke up.

"He is Rudra, a welder of one of the 27 Blades made by Sage of Eternal Wisdom 'Seevni' " A girl with platinum blonde hair wearing bandages over her eyes spoke who was standing on my left and I didn't even realise it. "And before you ask about my bandages then yes I am blind, I am not wearing them for fashion, I am tired of answering the same question over and over again," she said.

"Don't mind her my friend she is like that, she is not good with people" a man dressed in complete white attire was standing right behind me. I at first sight mistook him for an African but he was an American. He was walking with a fancy walking stick but by looking at his walking style you could tell that he didn't need a stick to walk it was just for show.

"So buddy, long time no see " the nostalgic voice came from my back facing the boulder the white heard guy standing there was none other than Piyush. I didn't have a drought in my mind at that point. He was my old friend holding a Karina in his right hand. I was so confused already that my mind just gave up at this point but one this was for sure in my heart I was very happy seeing my best friend once again after a long time.

An old woman may be in her 50s setting near was sitting Pragya. Her hair was black but was turning white because of her old age, she was wearing a cotton saree (a classic Indian outfit for women.) spoke in a loud voice "Now that concludes it, we have done as you suggested Piyush, now we have confirmed that you are the man in the prophecy, not your friend now all we need to do is training which will awake your third eye".

Wait she was not there a moment ago, how did these people sneak up near me like that, how it is even possible, who are these guys.

"Ok ok, I am coming, I am very happy to see you again Rakesh after a long time. I am sorry due to the circumstances but we have less than 15 days for our plan so let's meet again after training I hope Emily's training won't take a toll on you" he shook his hand and jump higher than the boulder and followed the granny.

"So without wasting any more time I hope we accomplish something with your help in the time weave left at least I how so, by the way, I am Carl who brought you here" the Irish man spoke to me whose face I haven' seen that clearly till now." you didn't look that surprised this time," he asked. Well yeah, I have seen you guys sneaking behind my back out of nowhere many times now so, no not that impressive by the way who is Emily.

"That would be me, your training instructor" the bland girl spoke suddenly the wind-blown which was enough to blow her hair as soon as her hair got blown for a few seconds I realise that she was having long pointy ears which were quite amusing and before I knew it my I asked a sensitive question "did something happen to your ears they are so pointy" after speaking trash out of my mouth I was subconsciously telling my self that I am an idiot. "Isn't it simple, I am an elf" she replied, ooh I thought it was because of some kind of accident or.... wait what do you mean by an elf?

"Elf means elf "

"So you are not human"

"Not by a long shot"

"Are you serious"

"101% serious "

"Ok enough of that we must prepare for our upcoming battle, Emily you are his training instructor, since we don't have a lot of time on our hands you should use the modified time chamber for your sessions, make sure to teach him at least the basics" The American guy spoke up. yes, Carl, I was going do just that if you didn't realise that up until now, Emily replied. She is really bad with her choices of words.

Now, rookie, welcome to Kamakshi. May I ask your name, Carl asked. It's Rakesh. Good luck with your training. Okay, but what kind of training, I thought to myself.

Emily took me to a pyramid-style building as we get closer to the doors they suddenly opened, like a sliding door but automatic. By the looks of the door, I could easily tell that each door was more than 100 inches in thickness we crossed 5 doors like that and after that, we finally entered a large wide area where nothing was there but a wide space.

"So rookie prepare yourself you are going to be my first student ever student so I expect you could learn at least how to stay alive in most dire situations. And don't worry we have 15 days but here in this place we have around 3 months to train. You can ask me any question you want while training."

"Yes, ma'am " wait what does she mean by surviving in the direst situations and did she said that she didn't even train anyone before I have a bad feeling about this...
