Chereads / The Tale of Diwankula / Chapter 22 - Dharti!

Chapter 22 - Dharti!

14 Days Ago

Somewhere in Parina

A man disguised as a royal guard was contacted. He quietly ran over to the outskirts to attend the call as that call was not meant to be hung

 "Ruckus, what's the situation?" A deep voice of authority asked Ruckus, the man who was in disguise as a royal guard.

"Sir….the plan is still in process. Also, we have gathered some precious info on the history of this land. Reports have been already sent through SS 3601." Ruckus informed.

"Well done my child."

"Your greatness, sir!!!" Ruckus accepted the compliment.

"However, my child…Ruckus. I have a last favour to ask of you. I want you to wreck Parina in havoc and don't worry about backups. The plan has already been activated. I know that I will not be disappointed by you, Ruckus."

"Absolutely…Sir" With this Ruckus began his final mission.

Back to Present

The First Gate, Parina

"We are here!" everyone exclaimed

"So, what is it gonna be? Are we going to be awarded or what?" Sukheer asked

"Maybe it is a top-secret order." Elva replied

"Whatever it is…. Parina is so beautiful. This is my first time here." Sainen said

"Oh, is it like that? I have been to Parina several times." Armeet said

"Anyways. Does anyone know where RUKIMAN PLAZA is?" Elva asked

"Nope" All sighed

"What?" Elva was shocked.

"It is probably north of here." Sainen said

"How'd you know?" Armeet asked

"I just looked into this map." Sainen answered

"Well….good." Sukheer said

"Cut it out guys. This can be something serious." Elva appealed

"Fine" Sukheer answered

All of them started moving north.

Royal Palace, Parina

"Devon, this is serious." Pannival argued

"Yes, my lord. But think about our status in the Union of Nations" Devon the Prime Minister of Malwai Empire said.

"But Devon. This time we cannot choose to sit by and watch like our predecessor did. We have to act, or we will be remarked weak." Pannival said

"Your concerns are to the point but my lord thinks deeply once. Let's say we declare a war with the Union of Nations. What will happen next? We will be devastated. Throughout the world only three nations know the truth- The Malwai, The Ravanposh and the Japai. 10 years ago, Japai did the same and today there is no existence of it anywhere. The most powerful nation of the world was eradicated by the UoN. They possess demonic abilities that we cannot even imagine." Devon showed his concerns

"Devon, is this the time that has been talked about in the past? Is this the time when the old legend of Ruhabayo will be proven true? The 1000-year-old war only a handful of people know about." Pannival looked at the ceiling.

"What is it, my lord? What is the truth of Ruhabayo?" Devon said, looking at Pannival.

"Devon, do you know the name of the planet we are on?" Pannival asked.

"Yes. Earth it is." Devon said

"It is just a partial truth, and we are not the only humans in this universe. There are many earths precisely 9. And each of them is given a distinct name. Prithvi, we live in Prithvi." Pannival said

"Prithvi?" Devon asked

"Indeed. However, about 10,000 years ago the humans living on this planet disappeared. It is a mystery that is yet to be solved." Pannival said

"This cannot be true. If ancient humans disappeared, then who are our ancestors?" Devon asked

"Devon, we belong to a planet called Dharti. About 7000 years ago, people of Dharti arrived here." Pannival said

"How? How can a human travel in space?" Devon asked the Pannival

"Even I was shocked, but it is said that Dharti's present is our future. Dharti's science is a lot more developed than ours. Do you know, people in Dharti fought wars just with the help of science. They never had weapons with powers imbued in them." Pannival said to Devon, imagining the people of Dharti.

"How many years more will we need to even think about such things? So, this means that we never began from the beginning, we always were far from the beginning." Devon said

"Indeed, and that is why we all strive for powers. The Marinabad incident will soon become a global subject. If there exist some divine beings, then the call for inherited powers will be accepted. But it is still so dark here. Powers? Abilities? What are they? Who are we? Is the old legend true? This world has surely reached its peak. We've to prepare ourselves." Pannival said

"You are right my lord." Devon said

"And for Ruhabayo's legend. You have to know that Ruhabayo was a MONSTER who was born to destroy MONSTERS. 1000 years ago, when the world reached its peak, a war broke out between the 26 allied nations and the land of science DIWANKULA. This war was so epic that it was fought for about 56 years continuously. During this time the number of allied nations increased, and it went over 42. Then an organisation was formed, an organisation that stood to rule the world for the next 1000 years, the MONDE UNI. Is the Monde Uni good or evil we don't know so we chose to support it." Pannival said

"Monde Uni is ruling the world even now. How?" Devon asked

"The Union of Nations is the Monde Uni with a different name. They both are the same. Anyways the war continued but not between the Monde Uni and Diwankula but between Monde Uni and the Gobiemo Sangrieto that was led by Ruhabayo. It was the 56th year of the war, Ruhabayo grew old but he was still fighting. The final fortnight of the battle when all the soldiers on the battleground fell, Ruhabayo despite his old age stood up to end that never ending war. Ruhabayo single handedly destroyed the Monde Uni and Gobiemo Sangrieto was just on the verge of victory but then the strongest of all, Saint Santori walked up to Ruhabayo. A duel between Ruhabayo and Santori broke out, it kept going for 12 days continuously but due to old age Ruhabayo weakened and fell in front of Santori. At that time the Monde Uni recorded its massive victory. The Gobiemo Sangrieto chose to hide in the shadows without its leader. 3 days later the fallen corpse of Ruhabayo again stood up. It flew towards the Monde Castle and announced that this battle isn't over yet, when the world will reach its peak, someone will be born capable of turning this world upside down. 'The will of Ruhabayo will live on even in the future.' This was the final statement uttered by that body. After this, that body crumbled into pieces and flew all over the world." Pannival said, ending his explanation of Ruhabayo's legend.

"Was he a god? I wonder who Ruhabayo is?" Devon showed his confusion.

"That is a mystery." Pannival said

"Either way, where are our guests?" Pannival asked

"We've received word that they have already entered the capital." Devon announced.

"I'm excited to see the future of Malwai." Pannival expressed his feeling

Pannival sat on his throne waiting for the seven to come. A new character Ruckus has also set some traps up, what is it? What is the important decision of Pannival? What will happen to Prithvi after this?
