As he reached near the red diamond that was glowing too brightly. Sambh watched its glow as his lips could utter the only things, " were you the one calling me."
he stood there silently waiting for tis reply. He knew that the voice was coming from it. However, when he reached near it. It suddenly stopped calling for a while.
There came a soft voice again from it," Yes, it was also me who directed you here." It was the same voice.
Sambh asked," why are you calling me? Is there anything that I can help you with it." He asked out of curiosity. He wondered that alone in this isolated village covered in the coldness of lake surrounding him.
" Yes, only you can help me."
The voice trembled and broke down.
Sambh didn't know what the voice was by saying it. Sambh remembered that when he woke up here then everything that was happening here was totally unexpected. He neither knew that what was happening there.
"Destroy this diamond and I will be free to talk to you with my original form." Sambh didn't know what the voice was directing but he surely had understood that this was some sort of plot. He hesitated and pulled his hand back.
"So, why are trapped here if you were a good guy. A good person can break any obstacle with his pure heart. You must have committed some crime and imprisoned here."
Sambh looked at the glow of the diamond as it faded away slowly. Then there came a soft voice again," It seems that you are doubting me."
Sambh spoke," I don't know how to go out from this lake. If you are such a good hearted, then you must be well aware about this lake."
"How about you tell me the way."
"And then I think about freeing you out from here."
The palace filled with the silence and then there came a reply," okay, I will tell you the way but first you have to free me."
Sambh didn't hesitate for a while and reportedly replied in a single word," sure. "
He knew that he was dealing with the monster caged in a prison. However, he was sure about it that a monk never lies about the situation. He was sure doomed with a single promise as he was caged in his own words.
"sure"
"Then head my words it will surely take you out from here and also protect you in this lake from every offensive attack." Sambh was nowhere in his companion and waited for him to finish the voice.
The voice continued," there is a very small water boat at the gate. It's just hanging above the door. You can take out the boat from there and keep it over the water in lake. It will slowly turn in a huge boat that will board you to the other side."
Sambh heard his voice that was so confident about it, but he didn't see any boat on the gate while he was coming. No wonder, his voice was so confident that he left from there towards the gate to recheck it.
"It seems you are so confident, but you are totally unaware about it that there was no boat while I came here."
Sambh replied rudely. However, there came no reply from it for a long time. Sambh doubted to himself that if he didn't notice the things clearly while coming through it. He looked back and hurried towards the gate to confirm himself.
As he reached there then he saw there was no boat hanging near it at a glance. He laughed and spoke," so I was right about it."
He moved outside to have a look at the outer part of the door too. As he reached at the gate then he was surprised seeing a very small boat hanging at the middle of the door. It was so small that none could notice it so easily if they won't look at closely.
He picked the boat and kept in the lake slowly. He kept in it so slowly that the snakes chanting there couldn't notice him so easily or disturb them.
As he kept in it then the boat changed its size and grew bigger. He murmured to himself, "so he was right about it." He left from there.
He watched his way inside silently without disturbing those snakes. Those snakes were all standing like a statue. As he was passing then his eyes reached to those black aura being sucked at the middle of the lake. Some snakes had turned in skeleton as it was totally sucking their life away too along with the black aura.
He walked inside towards the red diamond and spoke," who are you?"
However, there was no reply from it. A single word came from it as he reached too close to it. "it's time for you to full fill your wish."
Sambh hesitated at first but there lighted some trust on him. He thought that he may be imprisoned by those snakes just like to sacrifice. He didn't think twice and moved his hand towards it. He brought his hands closer to its light.
A flash of white light passed just below his hand. It was slight light released from the sword. Maybe some expert in sword had released it. He looked back at the direction from where it had come then his eyes met with Agatha and Ruchi.
"How come you are here too."
Sambh had taken his hand back. He spoke," look, we can negotiate about it."
Sambh was too panicked by seeing them. There came urgent voice from the diamond,'' help me out from here and I will protect you from them."
"Really"
There came a hurried single voice from there, " I can also send you back to your home by travelling in time."
" What???"
"How can you to that?"
Sambh was easily manipulated by his word as he heard that he could send him back to his home. He moved ahead to hold it, but he was pulled back with a rope.
She was Agatha who pulled him back and yelled," don't get manipulated by his word. He wants to use you. None can ever travel in time here in this era."
There came a louder sound so that Sambh could hear him," Once there was time traveller and he had used the Mirror of Fate to travel in different timeline. You can also travel back."
By listening it, Sambh easily pulled back the rope and threw Agatha back. Sambh approached towards the diamond, but Ruchi came at the middle of him throwing him away from there in the ground.
"No, you can't do this. This is the only that can help me to return back to home."
Sambh was hurt to badly with her palm. He tried to rise but there was a huge pain, so he kept on lying on the ground. He looked ahead where Ruchi was standing.
She raised her hand, and the entire room covered in green leaves and beautiful stick with its one end covered in seven sharp edges. It was so beautifully carved with dragon in green. The stick looked so lively in its colour.
"I don't know who you are, but you must die now." She raised her wand but as she hit it with her wand then a very huge force threw her back. She landed too back. By seeing this, Agatha used her sword and attacked the red diamond.
"How dare you hurt her highness." Agatha attacked it with her full might but the sword in her hand got broken as it touched the light coming from it.
It was first time that Ruchi was wounded so badly. She had never lost in her entire life, but this was the first battle she lost.
A very old shadow came out from the red diamond filling the entire hall. Then Sambh came at his feet standing there as the shadow started to cover the entire room. The shadow was too familiar like the aura releasing from those snakes.
Sambh was clear about it that those all sacrifices were made for his revival. He thought to himself, "if he is such a terrifying in shadow then how terrifying he must be in a real." He was clear that the shadow was not a good one.
The shadow lingered in the entire room's darkness. Ruchi stood near Sambh and there came a huge green light covering the entire room. Agatha was lying unconsciousness on the ground. She was unaware about it.
"You cannot kill me here" The voice was too rough as it echoed there," don't forget that you are out of the territories of your kingdom." Her eyes reached to Agatha on the ground. She lifted her wand in the thin air destroying the darkness. But it didn't last for long.
She was exhausted and a very huge blow of darkness swept across there. They were thrown away from there. The wand flew away from her hand just near Sambh.
Sambh held the wand and stood there silently. A very huge green light covered. It was so bright that it vanished the entire shadow away from there. Then his eyes reached the red diamond near it. He took the wand in his hand and raised in thin air. Then he attacked it with full force.
