Part 42

“Hey Ravi, wait for a second....” came a female voice from behind. Agent Scar turned back for a moment and when he saw it was Shreya, he ignored her and continued walking towards Sudheer’s house. Finally Shreya did catch up with Ravi and panting said, “Why didn’t you stop when I called....” “I don’t want to talk to you...go away...” said Ravi. “Don’t act like a girl....I came to give you this....” said she and thrust into Ravi’s hand a small cover. “I don’t want anything...leave me alone...” said Ravi and continued walking. “Hey I know it was your birthday day before yesterday... I just can’t seem to forget you...” said Shreya. “Well then try harder... I like Pooja and stop disturbing us OK?” said Ravi and was about to throw that cover away but Shreya stopped him and said “At least have one look at it....” Ravi just kept that in his pocket and went away leaving Shreya to softly shed tears in silence... Ravi reached Sudheer’s house and saw that it was a duplex house and when he rang the...

Part 41

The next day at school he was disturbed by thoughts of Pooja and how she was having an impact on him… “Unless other people point out I am not able to notice but slowly but surely I am changing and I don’t want that to be happening…why can’t I just kidnap her father and take him to the King so that King can get all the info he wants…” were the thoughts running through his head… Pavan came early too that day and he sat beside Ravi.. Pavan said,”Hey Ravi, I wrote a few chapters for my new book…the funny part is…I still didn’t name the book” “Ohh Ok, hey can I ask you something…” said Ravi feeling a little shy. “Ya sure anything…” said Pavan casually. “What do you think is a good gift for a girl…” asked Ravi. “A friend who is a girl or a girl friend?” taunted Pavan. “Hmm a girl friend only….” Said Ravi sheepishly. “Hey who is it…tell me man, I can keep a secret…” requested Pavan. “Later…just give me some advice man…” said Ravi. After thinking for a few moments Pavan said, “Actually it to...

Ryu opened his eyes not knowing how long he had been asleep and he saw blinding light from the sun which was hanging just above his head. Suddenly the cute and innocent face of Emiko who was Hanaka’s younger sister came just over his face and this startled Ryu… The little girl screamed, “Dad, mom…Ryu is awake…” Then Ryu sat up and he found himself lying in the house of Hanaka or at least what remained of it after last night’s battle. Then he came out and saw that most of the houses were completely razed and the few that survived were badly damaged. The village chief entered the room and said ,”Thank god Ryu…You survived…we had limited sources and didn’t know if we could save you or not…” “I am extremely sorry…about your village” said Ryu with guilt filling up his heart again. “No Ryu don’t be sorry, if you hadn’t been there we all could have died…” said the village chief hiding his sadness. “But it’s because of me that those brutes attacked your village…” said Ryu. “Actually Ryu they...

The chief of the Flower Village was awestruck when he saw that Ryu was cursed by the Black lightening. “Who did this to you?” were the first words he said when he got back his senses. “I think his name was Rai or something like that…. And I have been living with this curse since 4 years.” Said Ryu. “4 Years!!! That’s too long…you should have been dead by now…I am sorry but no one has ever lived for more than 2 years…” said The Village chief in complete disbelief. “Well, I have the spirit of the Eternal Shadow Dragon inside me, but you know more than that what is keeping me alive?” “What?” asked the village chief curiously. “My thirst for revenge against those who have killed my family members.” Said Ryu filling up with rage just by thinking about his uncle. “Ryu, you have a lot of years ahead of you…don’t succumb to revenge, it’s bad…remember Ryu if we go on killing each other for different reasons, there will not be any humans left on the face of earth…” said The village chief with a...

“Hanaka, be careful when you are alone in the woods….you never know what may attack you” said Hanaka’s father who had a lot of apprehensions of his daughter going out alone at night To that Hanaka said, “Dad, how will I become a good medico if I don’t start getting practical experience… the Night Jasmines bloom only at night and they are essential for the medicine I am currently working on” “What is the use Hanaka, why do you want to start so early..you are only 17 years old…” said her father with concern. “But dad weren’t you able to perform even the most complicated surgery at my age…” said Hanaka. “Those times were different…there were constant wars and we needed lots of good medicos but now times have changed…” said her father thinking about the times of war, when he was at his prime… “Bye dad I am going…” saying that Hanaka ran off. In the forest at night the shadows can seem very different and that had an effect on Hanaka. She thought, “Maybe dad was right.. I shouldn’t have come...

4 Years later….. “Grandpa, I am going out to meet Ryu….” Said a girl getting ready to leave her house. “To meet Ryu you say, take some food along with you Kaiya, God knows when was the last time that kid had eaten well.” Said Kaiya’s Grandfather who was the trusted servant of The Sunshine and the Shadow Clan years ago. “Ya I know that….packed a few of his favorite dishes.” Said Kaiya. Then she rushed off into the nearby bamboo forest where Ryu was spending most of his time after that fateful night. While Kaiya was on the way her mind was filled with various thoughts of Ryu. She thought how much he had changed in the past four years not just physically but even his character. “I still remember him as the little boy who could do no magic but still had the heart of a true warrior” “These days I don’t even see him properly…he is training all the while” those were some of the thoughts running through her head. She reached the bamboo forest and began searching for him but she didn’t have t...

In the facility....Location unknown... “Welcome back Agent Scar” said the Scientist whose worn out lab coat said a lot about his experience... “Why did you call me Dr. David?” said Agent Scar seriously. “To give you a little birthday present.” Said Dr. David with a wink.... Agent Scar was in no mood for fun and he just looked at the doctor with a serious face.... “OK no jokes...show me your inhibitor...” asked the Doctor. Scar stretched his left hand and David connected a cable from a nearby computer to Agent Scar’s Watch and after a few seconds all the info about the inhibitor was displayed on the screen. “It’s an old version but don’t worry we will upgrade it in no time...” said the doctor cheerfully. “First we need to inject you with an anaesthetic... Timothy, get an anaesthetic quickly” said David calling out to his assistant. Timothy was a fresh college graduate and as he was new to work in the weapons facility he was naturally excited. Timothy got the anaesthetic and gave it to D...
