Chapter-19: Saving an innocent.
An elephant was sitting on the ground and he was tied up with ropes. He was looking left and right, Hero was standing there but he was listening to sounds. It was like someone was shouting for help. He was looking at that cutter. That cutter was straight, having one grip on each end and many pointed teeth. The cutter was big and two people were holding it in their hands.
It was like those people wanted his long tusks, which were big and very long. It was like someone had cannons in his mouth and its color was pure white. That elephant's face was covered with fear and people were laughing at him because they wanted his big white teeth and very soon, they would get what they wanted. They put their cutter on his long teeth but when Hero saw the face of an elephant, he could see tears coming out from his eyes. … He was looking at him but Hero's hands were shaking because for the first time, he was feeling someone's pain. His tears were making him weak and his eyes also got wet because of his pain.
He stepped forward and they started moving their cutter on his teeth. Cutter was going downward due to pressure. When the cutter was about to the half section of teeth, they stopped and broke it. They did the same actions on other teeth and they cut down that piece also. They all were laughing and untied him and they went from there. Thomas was on his attitude; he sat on his chariot and went from there.
… Hero was standing in front of that elephant and all his friends were stopping him because they were thinking that the elephant was going to kill him but they were wrong. Hero can feel his pain and he knows that he won't hurt him.
He stands in front of that elephant and tries to touch his head. He was crying and staring at him, he moved his head back because he was still in fear but Hero was still standing there and again, he tried to put his hand on his head. Everyone was watching him to understand what he was doing. … His hands were on the head of that elephant and that elephant can feel safety from his hand. He finally touched his head and closed his eyes. Suddenly, Hero saw many things inside his head; he could see all the incidents which had happened with that elephant.
He opened his eyes because he saw all the incidents and he can feel his pain. He saw his teeth were cut down by those people who were running behind him; they were still standing there and looking at him.
They were carrying his tusk on their shoulders and were confused to see; Hero was standing in front of that elephant. He looked into his eyes and touched his teeth which were cut down. He slides his hand on his teeth and stopped in the middle. … He slowly moved his hand in the air. He can imagine his tusk length. But everyone was shocked when they saw Hero was sliding his hands on his tusk and the teeth starting growing up.
Everyone was shocked to see that Hero had given a new pair of tusks to that elephant. … People were shocked to see his tusk because now, his tusk was in golden color and it was shining due to sunlight.
"Wow."
Everyone was shocked and those people who had cut his teeth, they talked with each other and made one decision and that decision was to cut those teeth too. They don't know about Hero and He can hear all their talks. They were coming near to him and both the eyes were becoming white in color because he was angry.
They all were behind him and they were about to step close to him because they wanted to thank him for the teeth.
"Thanks kid…"
When they saw his white shining eyes, they were shocked and started stepping back because they had never seen anything like this. They dropped everything and ran away from there to save themselves because they had heard about his stories. He was looking at them with anger and the elephant was standing behind him. He turned back and told that elephant to go away from there but he looked on both sides and looked at him.
He knows that he is the only one who can help him and save him, so he decides to go along with him. When Hero was walking towards his friends, he was shocked to see Michelle because she always used to smile but that time, she was standing quietly and a little bit scared also. Hero was there but they all were still scared because that elephant was standing behind him. … He looks at him and asks him to leave because he can't take him along with him because if his mother sees him then she is going to beat him.
He walked away from his friends but that elephant was running behind him and villagers were laughing at him because they had seen for the first time a Hero was running away from someone.
He was trying to keep that elephant away from him but he kept following him.
He reached his house and Mary came out. When she saw that huge elephant, she shouted and asked him to keep that elephant away from her house. He muttered inside and told himself that for five minutes, he was also trying to keep that elephant away from him.
But when Mary saw his golden teeth, she was surprised. She knew that no one had golden teeth but this elephant had… She was thinking and saw Hero, that elephant was moving his long trunk and touching his hand.
"Oh!! Now I understood."
"What mother?"
"Nothing."
She asks him to send that elephant away from her house. She was very angry at that huge size elephant. He stood in front of that elephant and told him politely that he can't stay there so he should go away from their house. … He bent his head down and walked away from there.
It was night and Hero was sitting outside, he was looking around and found a huge size black shadow was standing on the field, he knew about that shadow. He stood from his bed and stood in front of that shadow.
… "Listen… your real place is forest; you can't stay with us. That time I helped you because I wanted to help but now, I can't."
… Without any sound, that elephant went away from there. Hero was feeling bad for him but he couldn't do anything because his mother had told him to keep the elephant away from him.
The next morning, Thomas was sleeping in his room and his daughter Isabella was walking towards him without making a noise because she wanted to scare him. She does not know that his father was dreaming. He had the same dream in which he was sitting on the cart and one huge elephant was pulling his cart. He was sleeping on the bed, having a huge smile on his face.
…
"BOO!!"
Thomas got scared and quickly got up from his bed and saw his daughter was laughing in front of him.
Mary was out of the village and she was walking alone on the road. She was unaware of king OZ, he was following her. She was sitting on the cart and king Oz was on his cart. She was looking around and Oz had that locket in his hand. His eyes were full of anger because he remembered his condition when he was criticized by Zod. In front of his eyes, there was only one thing that was moving and it was his son who stopped his vector chariot in the middle and took first place from him.
He was taking heavy breaths full of anger. He had some small mid ball on his hand and he threw those balls in front of her cart. Some blasts occurred and the cart stopped because of fear.
She quickly turned back and saw Oz was standing in his car. He jumped down on the ground. Some dogs appeared from the blast and all of them were made up of mud and they were standing around her cart. She got scared, she took her hand on her heart and her heartbeat was very fast. She knew his motive and he was stepping towards him and all the mud dogs were barking on her.
The driver of the cart ran away to save himself from them and she was all alone on that cart but she knew that her son knew about her and any moment, he was going to come in front of him.
Meanwhile she saw that locket on his hand and that made her scared. But his laughing was making her more scared of him. But Hero was in the field and he felt something. His heartbeat was slowing down and he had a shocking face expression.
"Mother!!"
He stood up quickly and ran away from there. With the speed of sound, he was running and saw his mother was standing behind an elephant. … That elephant was the same elephant which he asked to leave.
