Chanaka was ready to defeat Marisho this time. He had a smile on his face this time. His aura was not visible at all. He waited with his sword pointed towards the cave with both his hands. Master Marisho stepped out out the caves with only a staff. Chanaka was a bit taken aback. But he accepted it. That Marisho could not be defeated, if he had a sword on him. But with a staff, he could he.
First I need to break his staff, then only he can be felled, concluded Chanaka.
Chanaka waited for the attack of Marisho. Marisho moved as swift as the wind and hit the lower abdomen of Chanaka. Chanaka did not even see the movement of Marisho. But the hit was fierce. He felt the pain. This time it was Marisho who had a smile on his face. Chanaka turned eagle eyed as he slowed his breadth down and adopted slow vision. This time he could see Marisho attack but he still could not stop the attack. This time the attack was on the neck. Chanaka fell down. He looked at Maroshi with anger. His aura was becoming heavy and dark. I can't beat him even now, he got furious. At that moment he lost his cool and humility. All this training to get beat by a man with a staff. He ran at him wanting to kill him. That moment he was not man, he was a beast. He turned into a shadow and tried to stab Maroshi in the heart. In fact he did. "Yes!" he shouted as he saw the dead body of Maroshi on the ground. Only then his senses came back to him. "What have I done?" he shouted in anger. A man patted him on the shoulders and said, "Nothing." He turned back and saw the man. It was Maroshi. He was red eyed about to be full of tears. "Who are you?" asked Chanaka. "I'am Maroshi," he simply said. "Then who is this?" asked Chanaka and pointed his fingers at the dead body. Chanaka was shocked when there was no one. "Are you alright?" asked Master Maroshi. "Yes, I'am fine," stuttered Maroshi. "Who are you?" asked Maroshi as though he was meeting Chanaka for the first time. "I'am Chanaka l, your student," he said. "Oh, you are my student," said Master Maroshi. "My memory fails me," he said. Chanaka looked at him and he looked much older than he was previously. "Come inside," said Master Maroshi as he walked slowly inside the caves with a walking stick. Chanaka was confused to what had happened but he had no choice rather than to follow the man in front of him.
The Master sat in his place at the throne. "Please get us some fruits to eat for dinner," he said to Chanaka. Chanaka obediently followed the instructions of his master and went to pluck the fruits.
