Sambh was totally surrounded by snakes hissing just near him. He could feel the presence of the snakes surrounding near him, but his eyes could barely see them. He was bind in the tail of Trimura. At the meantime, his ears could pick some voice from there.
"Brother, watch him carefully and make sure he doesn't die."
Sambh easily recognized the voice. It was the voice of Trimura. He had completely forgot that he was tied by Trimura in their tail as they dragged him through the ground. There was barely anything that he could remember apart from his dream.
"sssssssssssssssss"
There was snake passing all over him as he sound hears their voice. He continued," You must be well aware that our king doesn't accept the food of dead. He will punish us with death if he dies here."
Both head of Trimura was scolding each other. They were standing in front of their village which was totally covered in the ashes. All other snakes were surrounding Sambh from everywhere as they all were informed about the time traveller.
"ssssssssssssssssssssssss"
" You must have seen his cruelty" he spoke. Trimura was warning the other head by referring his leader. Their leader was so cruel that the entire snake tribe feared him. Sambh knew that there was someone more terrifying than Trimura.
Sambh recalled his dream that how he was pierced with the sword. he was totally disheartened knowing that his journey was going to die. He thought to himself." No matter whatever I dream. It has always come true. I must need warn them."
Sambh tried to free himself, but he was tied to strongly. Sambh looked down the ashes that was totally dark. There was nothing left with him. From the beginning to the end when he appeared in this land. He always encountered trouble.
As Sambh was trying to free himself then Trimura realised that he had regained his conscious. After that he easily dropped him to the ground. Sambh slowly fell from the breach of the tail and landed down the ground.
As he was fell to the ground then his body covered with the dirt all over himself. His face covered in the ashes. He slowly looked out from the dirt then he was shocked by seeing the scenario just near him.
It was very huge ground of ashes as those snakes stared at him so angrily. They were surely going to devour him at pieces. they were standing at the gate waiting for someone. They took their tongue in and out seeing him from long distance.
Many snakes came near him greeting and cheering as if they have smelt something unusual. One of the snakes spoke with cheering up," wow, it had been a very long time since we got to taste humans."
One of the snakes approached near him and bite his Kasaya and spoke," it's really so sweet. i had never tasted such a blood."
All other snake gathered around and talked with each other. They filled with sinister laughter. "I never saw such a healthy prey while travelling and hunting the entire forest." It looked back at Trimura hissing.
Sambh was still lying in the ground. he easily moved up looked out from the ground towards the snakes that were approaching him. It came near him and started to circle around him. Those all snakes started to hiss.
"ssssssssssssssssssssssss"
"You are really a great hunter Trimura". One of the snakes congratulated Trimura rushing towards Sambh. Those snakes were in a great feast enjoying the scenario near them. They could hiss and scare Sambh.
"sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss"
Sambh had no idea what was going on. Sambh was totally covered from all the side. his mind was bustling as those snakes kept on circling all around him with clueless. He could barely see the other side from there.
At the meantime, there came a loud huge voice scaring all other snakes away. Those all snakes stopped all of a sudden to the direction from where the voice came. It was Trimura who had grabbed the centre of attraction for a while.
"Leave him now. We will submit this prey to our highness"
It was the voice of Trimura that had stopped everyone for a while. All the snake stopped and waited for his voice to stop. Then they started to continue again leaving Trimura furious. It made Trimura more furious and his angry grew at the bottom of his neck.
"How dare you do not listen to me." Trimura increased its size and grew very giant covering the entire sky. It hissed," this is the prey specially made for his highness." Trimura voice echoed everywhere leaving everyone unguarded.
Trimura hit the other snakes with its tail and threw away to the ground in the other side. There were none other snakes which could ever battle Trimura there with its huge giant body. It left Sambh alone in the ground.
"Thank you for helping me out." Sambh was totally disheartened from his peak of the heart totally unaware of his situation. Sambh looked at those snakes near him which ran away looking the giant face of Trimura.
"This is the prey specially made for the full moon sacrifice." Trimura voice reached the sky as it returned back," don't forget that this is the day that we were waiting for from thousands of years. Now it's time."
Sambh was listening to the voice of Timura which hold him at the peak there. Sambh was totally clear now that he was going to die one way or another. He couldn't even tell them that they are the one who is going to be sacrificed.
As the snakes were thrown away from the ground then he realised that it was the same village about which he had dreamt about. He was shocked to see those small huts made up of straw and mud. It was standing in the amidst of the darkness and ashes everywhere. There was no life around there apart from snakes.
Those all houses were so torn apart and too old. There was none living there in the village. Probably those snakes use to live there. The village was covered in dark sky, there was very few lights in the ashes where the houses were built.
Everything there was same that he had seen there in his dream except the lake. He looked as far as he could, but his eyes could barely see the sight of any lake there. He wondered that if there was or his dream was just a normal dream.
"My dream has never been false so far but why can't I see any lake here."
Sambh was totally lost in his thoughts. He kept on looking here and there so that his eyes could catch the sight of lake somewhere.
There was no such lake anywhere there. he managed to look in the amidst of the darkness from afar.
Those all snakes had left from there. Trimura came back to its original size and hold Sambh back in its tail. Then it dragged him all along the way to the hut and called happily," Brother, we have brought a very huge gift for you."
Trimura was so happy to be there. It entered inside there and easily made its way through the straw there. They threw him in the wood made prison near it and rode across the roofs. Trimura crawled in a hurry.
As it threw in the prison then the gate was automatically locked. Sambh didn't know what to do at the moment and just waited there.
" You will surely be impressed."
Sambh could still hear its voice as the voice became smaller and smaller. Now, he could hardly hear anything but saw a huge snake sleeping far away near there. His eyes could not reach there but still see it.
" Brother, we are here."
Both snakes passed near it and vanished in its body changing its one head in three.
The snake raised up and crawled down from there. There was chattering of voice,"sssssssssss" all along everywhere. The snake spoke lingering his head all around," why could I smell some humans here."
One of its head spoke," Brother we caught a human alone near the lake. I am sure that our king will be impressed with him as our present and free us from his slavery."
He scolded him," Don't ever mention about freedom in front of him otherwise he won't leave us. He even killed his entire lineage, and we are nothing but a hope." Before he could complete his words, his eyes met Sambh in cage.
It immediately hurried towards it and started to circle around it. One of its head spoke," Brother don't think of eating it. The whole village knows about it." Another snake spoke," Why do you always think of food all the time. I think he must be wondering something."
He spoke," I have seen this monk in the lab where I was created. He must have some idea that why I was made in that lab. "
