(Three people walking in the horizon …. Sands and sands everywhere.. Looks like the sea on sands…. Some cactus trees, palm trees could be seen near…
Amina held Jihan like his small brother…. No words are coming out of the little boy.. but his silent breaking the heart even of the mighty desert… )
Amina: Do you know here are we headed?
We are going to find Hakim… I don't know where he is…
"So, how will we find him''?
I have trick… Just have to find a well… you will see what will happen….
After four to five hours of the journey.. the found a well…
Jihan began to feed the camel with his silence….
The black shadow fetched some water..
Then he placed the water in a small pot…
In the pot he placed some shining stones….
And over the top of the water he placed the jeweled knife.. "Ame-no-nuhoko''
The knife drowned in the water.. Amina smiled at The Black Shadow…
Then suddenly the water was lightened….
The Jeweled knife begin to float and the stones were shining…..
The Knife headed for the north east direction….
Amina look puzzled…
There was a picture of a castle appeared in pot..
Its Asfan Castle… Jihan replied from behind…
Once I went there with my father and mother…
Then I don't remember exactly what happened…
I just remembered we came back here without my father….
(After couple of days they came close to the place known as Asfan Castle…. Its located in a small village named Asfan village… )
My goodness… this is a army fortified castle… Amina reacted seeing the Asfan Castle..
It just looks like a fortress built on the rocks.. more to guard the area..
How can Hakim live in that ? Amina wondered…
Don't worry Amina.. we will find out…
We need a plan the Black Shadow replied…
Amina came close to the castle .. the guards were very sharp..
Stop .. one more foot or we will shoot you…
Amina.. Sir we are passerby…. Me and my child is looking for the nearest well could you be kind to come here and help…
Go away ..by counting to three or we will kill you..
Sir we are lost… me and my small brother are hungry.. could you be kind enough to help us .. sir..
The guards bot laughed… They had huge rifle like guns..
We can help you.. all right…. Two guard came down running one held Amina tightly…
We will help you …. Right the other one laughed..
The he pulled his pants down.. putting the gun down in the earth ..
The other guards hold Jihan tightly..
Among the guards one big fat guard with a mustache came..
What's happening here he asked furiously?? Have you all lost your minds???
You all are trying to rape a girl???
Every one was quiet .. they said nothing .. they looked unhappy…
Don't worry boys.. have fun with the girl.. but the boy is mine..
The fat guard holding the boy laughed furiously…
(The Black Shadow made no more delay …. He took the pistol and the rifle in his hands ….. He fired those guns towards the guards.. killing them in seconds….)
Amina all me are the same.. pigs.. absolute pig…
Amina looked frustrated and holding Jihan …
The Black Shadow run up towards the top of the castle…
(The Castle is fully made of stones.. on the top of the castle he founds stairs curved down..)
The place down at below looked more as if it's a storage of armory, ammo, maps, drawings, foods and water)
There were lots of rifles, muskets, guns, pistols, swords and ammo..
Amina began to look at the maps and the drawings… while Jihan and the Black Shadow both were busy eating foods.. They both looked hungry..
Amina found a mysterious drawings.. it had a picture of Hakim …
Behind the drawing there was a map directed towards…. The Citadel of Ebril….
While eating foods Jihan heard a sound…
Jihan signaled The Black Shadow towards the barrel of water…
The were stone carved wall behind the walls nothing more..
But Jihan said he has definitely heard some voice behind the walls ….
Lets check what really is behind these walls…
So, the Black shadow grabbed a big log and keep hitting the wall behind…
Jihan.. said I have a better idea.. The wall is curved with stones so its probably wont break… so we can use firepower…
Amina said disagreed.. The stones will probably damage the whole wall along side the whole room rather we must find carefully these drawings…
So, both the Black Shadow and Amina began inspecting the drawings carefully…
After some time Amina found a drawing pointing towards a stone in the wall… They looked closed at the wall.. The Black Shadow placed his shining stones towards the stones..
One of the stones had a strange symbol on it.. So Amina pushed it firmly…
Surprisingly the gentle pushed made a passage behind the wall…
All to their surprise they found there are eleven people was locked in the cage like cells….
Jihan shouted as he said… Abba..Abba.. holding a strange man..
The man holds Jihan firmly in his lap.. and said its ok my son..
All these men were free as their chains were destroyed…
They did not knew how they were rescued all they know they were saved by these three people…
The Black Shadow and Amina began their journey towards The Citadel of Ebril..
Alongside them Jihan, his father and other ten men joined.. They took a vow to kill Hakim.. at any cost….
