"Hey, honey we are getting late... wake up...."
A woman in her 20s called her husband who was slipping on the bed along with his 2 children.
"Ohhh..... come on Sonika, let me sleep a little more."
Her husband retorted to her. His name was Shree. At that time one small hand came and cuddled around the husband's waist and said, "Daddy we are going to meet grandpa and grandma today so please wake up."
This was their youngest son who was only 4 years old. His name was Shaan and the elder one who was still asleep on the other side name was Akshay. He was 10 years old with thin physique.
At that time Akshay also woke up from his sleep got out of bed without saying anything and ran towards the washroom.
This is a small middle-class family of four people who are satisfied in their daily lives. Unaware that today their life was going to have a rollercoaster ride.
After everyone wakes get ready for today's journey. Today Shree is taking them to their hometown which is located 200 km away from their current city. Shree works as a historical researcher in a private firm and earns enough salary for his family and parents.
Due to being a middle-class family they have only one bike at home. Today four of them are going to visit their family by riding their bike for almost 200 Km. Every time their ride was adventurous.
Shree started his bike and everyone got on the bike to ride. Every time whenever they went on the journey Shree took some equipment along with him like his laptop, some archaeological material that is yet to be inspected, and some important books. Today he was carrying one of the Relic which he found in the Punchganga river. It is a small dark stone like a ball.
The journey began and slowly they started moving towards their destination. Akshay was holding his relic in hand as he liked this stone very much and like his father, he was also very curious about this.
"Akshay stop playing with that thing and keep it inside your pocket or it will fall." Shree scolded Akshay. But Akshay was still playing with this stone when suddenly Akshay got pricked by the pointed tip of the stone which was not visible to eyes.
A drop of blood came out of his finger and the stone got stained with the blood. Immediately Shree stopped the bike and looked at Akshay's hands which were bleeding. Shree snatches the artifact from Akshay's hand and observes the surface of the stone. He found a small pointed tip which caused the bleeding. Shree also pressed his finger on the tip and his finger also got injured and a small drop of blood came out of it. This time his blood got absorbed by the stone and the blood stains on it surface vanished and still, this stone tried to absorb more blood from his finger.
At that time Shree tried to throw this artifact away but he felt that this artifact was absorbing his blood more profusely and he was not able to throw it away. His entire family panicked. Shree immediately slammed that artifact on the hard surface of the road. As he slammed it into the hard surface the dark cover over the stone started to peel off and a crystal-like small ball came into sight of everyone.
"Oh... dad you are like a magician, you turn this black ball into crystal....Awesome"
"Shut up Akshay here I am freaking scared of this thing and it is sucking my blood and here you are commenting on my hardship."
"He didn't say anything wrong, you are blaming him unnecessarily, who told you to carry such a thing with you?"
"Okay.... I understand now will you all please keep quiet and let me find out how to separate myself from this damn crystal."
As he said these words his hand was freed from the crystal. Shree was now in a completely panicked state he didn't know what was going on still he hardened his heart and went close to the crystal ball and tried to touch it but nothing happened. So he picked up that artifact and check once again.
Suddenly he felt a headache and a lot of information was transferred in his mind. This information was the reason behind the journey of this family into another world.
To be continued....
