Chapter 16 - Realm of the Crimson Eyes"

I saw a shadow on a tree branch in my dream — it looked very terrifying and strange. I chased it, and it disappeared into a cave. After that, I don't remember where the shadow went. I followed it but don't know where it became invisible near the cave.

The shadow's eyes looked very dangerous — bright red, like open wounds — glowing fiercely in the dark night.

It took me some time. I had even told you this, but you treated me like an idiot. You thought I was lying, that I was making things up — but see, what I dreamed has now come true after so long.

Alright, fine — now get back to your work. Don't give me any lectures. Pay attention to the promise you made to the princess.

Hey man, I'm telling you this here.

Sorry, bro.

But where should we look for it now? It's night and everything is glowing here.

Does it even feel like night here?

Dude, you must have seen it while sleeping, right?

No bro — all I saw was that you had killed me, and then I woke up. Forgot that?

Yeah man, now we'll have to find that demon ourselves. What if the demon we killed had a brother or a son who's now searching for us?

And we both came here to look for it. If so, then it would have gone to the place where we had killed that demon.

Yes, it would have. We had left his dead body there — only his head was burned, remember? Maybe his son or father could revive him, and that will be a huge problem. If that happens, the people here will return. Before that, we must stop him at any cost.

Let's do one thing: we'll split up. I'll send Rishabh a message so he can look after himself and the princess.

And we'll search here and there.

I'm sending a message to Rishabh so they can take care of themselves and each other. I told him to take Princesses Rushi and Liza somewhere no human or even animal can go. Then I remembered that at the end of the forest there was a ditch. Someone should take us down from there and find a cave that is strong and secure. Along with that, he should create such an energy field that no one can enter — and the cave will not be visible to anyone.

I sent this news to Rishabh through my personal mind signals. No matter how far Rishabh is from me, he remains connected to my mind. I can send him any message at any time. Rishabh and I have such a bond that we can both hear each other's thoughts from anywhere.

Rishabh must have done the same after listening to me. I warned him to take Princess Rushi and Liza away as soon as possible.

Shivam and I were searching for that devil in the forest, hoping to find him somewhere, but we couldn't find him anywhere. Then I said, "Shivam, I'm going to the same place where we killed that devil. I'm going there. You stay here in the jungle, and if you see me, tell me. Ok?"

I'll go to that cave, and by the time I return I will destroy it.

"Yes, okay, I'm going," I said.

"Pay attention and watch carefully, Abhi. Go to sleep if you're tired — how smart are you at night? Did you sleep?"

"I'm worried that something might happen. I had seen the princess like this before. I'm afraid that Satan might have killed her."

"No brother, don't say that. Don't think negatively. Yes, listen, I'm coming. I'm going to check the cave. I went there during the day but not at night. I'll come back after checking."

"Wait, I'll also come with you."

"Yes, it's okay. Let's go. It's not right to go there alone; the evil forces have more power at night. If we both stay together, it will be safe. Do you understand?"

"Ok, let's go."

Then I saw something moving away. I immediately told Shivam, "Shivam, look! Something just went ahead — as if someone spoke — and there was a terrible shadow. I couldn't see it clearly, but there was something there. If we don't act soon, it will escape."

"Okay, let's both go slowly and cautiously."

We both slowly reached near the cave and there I saw the princess. There were some soldiers who had tied the princess with iron chains. They were torturing her badly. I was hiding and watching.

I also saw Shivam, and he killed some soldiers. He was choking and striking them, while I looked underneath to see what was happening.

I saw that there was a full court of Satan here. It seemed these people wanted to rule the earth. That meant the person we killed was not the king of the devils but a member of the royal council.

I thought he was the king and that finishing him would end everything — but now I saw his entire court.

We have to fight this very carefully and with a strong plan.

We could not stand here with our hands folded. I went inside secretly while Shivam was watching from outside. Inside the cave, I saw that the queen of the jungle — Onedevi — was also kept captive. It seems these people have come from their homes with a complete plan.

We must somehow stop them from destroying the land.

____

We have to stop all of them somehow. I sent this message to Shivam, telling him that their entire team has come and that these people have arrived with a complete plan to end poverty. "You be careful outside," I said. "I'll go and find out something else."

While observing them, I started to understand their weakness. I realized right there that these beings are weakened by sunlight. I was very happy to discover this, and I began keeping an even closer watch on them.

While I was doing all this, it was almost morning. As dawn approached, they all took the form of various animals and entered a hole in the cave so that no one could see them. I couldn't find them anymore; I just kept watching everything secretly from a corner. As soon as morning came, they all slowly disappeared from there.
