Chapter 8 - Innate Elemental Power

Seeing that Aryan got confirmed that he has came back in time just a day before his death.

Putting his phone on the pocket of his Kurta Aryan came near a mirror which is placed in that room and he looked himself in that mirror and began to remember everything that has happened with him or now we can say that is going to happen in the future.

And as he remembered all the things that happened with him, Aryan began to feel a very strong warm sensation in his hands.

And in the next moment in the reflection of the mirror Aryan saw both of his fists caught in flames.

Seeing the flames covering his fists Aryan became surprised for two reasons, one as to how his fists caught fire and secondly even if his hands are in flames there is no pain or feeling of being burnt.

Aryan felt that the flames are a part of him just like fingers, hair or any organ or his body which are his own and not any external thing like clothes that he is wearing.

Just to test this assumption or we can say feeling of his Aryan brought his fists closer to face and then he touched his face with his burning hands.

And his feeling proved to be true as there are no burning scars, feelings or sensation that Aryan felt.

The only thing which he felt was the feeling that everyone feels when then touch their face with their bare hands.

And the most surprising or shocking thing for Aryan is that the flames that are on his hands are doing nothing to the clothes he is wearing.

Not a single thread of his kurta caught the flames as if the clothes he is wearing are all fire proof.

Soon the fascination towards fire and flames increased in the heart and mind of Aryan which just made him feel kind of powerful.

But the two questions still remained in his mind as to why the flames caught his hands out of nowhere and why the flames are not harming him ?

And soon these questions of his will get answered as Aryan felt a someone holding his waist and he didn't need to look back as he clearly knew who this person is.

Aryan: "Z. What are doing here ?"

Z: "Master you knew it was me ?"

Aryan: "Obviously. Because there is your reflection in the mirror."

Saying this line Aryan looked at the mirror and Z also looked at it which made her to smile a little and she said, "Master as long you don't want no one except for you can hear or see me let aside this mirror."

Saying this line Z just blew some air from her mouth which Aryan saw in a form of white smoke and when this hit the mirror the reflection of Z disappeared from the mirror.

Aryan: "You do have quite good secrets up your sleevs."

Z: "They are all just safety measures Master. But I must say these flames look really good on your hands. I didn't expect that your affinity with these flames will be so strong."

Hearing the words of Z, Aryan got the idea that she clearly knew about these flames. So he asked her about it.

Aryan: "Z do you know about these flames that appeared on my hands ?"

Z: "Yes Master. These flames are your innate elemental power."

Aryan: "What do you mean ?"

Z: "Master let me simplify it for you. According to the Hindu culture the body of every human is created by the combined assimilation of five elements namely, Water, Fire, Earth, Sky and Air. This concept mainly tries to explain that whenever a soul enters the human realm to take birth as a human it needs a vessel which has the energy that can sustain or you can say hold it's energy till the time the soul has been given to stay in the human world. Now in the real timeline your younger brother had set you on fire to kill you and that fire at that time placed it's essence in your soul. So when you became a cultivator that essence of fire in your soul became your innate elemental power which every cultivator gain. And as per the emergence if this fire on your hands is purely because of anger towards your brother and other betrayers of yours as your have tapped into the destructive power of fire. And since this fire or flames are your own innate elemental power it will naturally not harm you."

Aryan with a calm face looked at his burning hands and asked, "So you mean like those super heroes in the movies I can control fire and use it for attack and defence ?"

Z: "Yes Master. This fire is now your power and you can use it however you want. You just need to focus the energies channeling in your body and think about the fire and then it will automatically came to serve you and you can dispel it at your will as well. Try it."

Hearing Z, Aryan closed his eyes and began to focus on the energies that he is feeling or sensing in his body.

And once he found the flowing energies going in his body, he then sensed that the flowing energies have connected with him and then he thought about the fire being subsiding.

And just as he has thought the flames that has caught his hands began to disappear as well and in a few moments the fire completely went out of his hands and his hands became normal once again.

With this Aryan opened his eyes and saw the flames gone and his hands normal. 

Seeing this Aryan became very much fascinated just like any other man who will be fascinated after finding a great and new toy or technology. 

So Aryan began to test this new power of his and with that for few minutes Aryan tested his power in which he just basically brought and dispelled the fire.

As Aryan was testing his powers he heard the voice of his wife who is calling him for the puja. So Aryan stopped testing his power and got ready to move downstairs for the puja.

Aryan: "Since no one can see you come with me and witness Ganesh Chaturthi puja of my home, Z."

Z: "Sure Master."

Taking Z with him Aryan moved to the upstairs balcony from the railings of which he and Z stood and watched all the guests gathering for the puja and among all the people Aryan saw his treacherous and betrayer younger brother Abhi and Himmat.

Z: "Master I want to see how you will kill them."

Aryan: "Trust me I will make them beg their deaths from me."

Saying this he moved downstairs with Z following behind him.

Reaching downstairs, Aryan joined his wife Nabha who is helping the pandit organizing things for the puja and helped her as well.

On the other hand seeing both of them smiling and happy Abhi began to burn in rage and clenched his fist which Aryan noticed by looking at him sidewise.

After gathering everything, pandit began the puja with Aryan and Nabha sitting in the puja as the main hosts.
