Chapter 1 - Janma Vettaiyan
(The Birth of an Hunter)
If you try to cure evil with evil you will add more pain to your fate. - Sophocles
King Sama Suyodhana & Queen Radha had dectuplets. The childbirth took a miraculous 24 hours and the King named the final one as Dashakantha upon hearing his cry announing the end of the delivery - [Dasha means Ten, Kantha means Voice]. Technically Dashakantha is the eldest, but he was very fragile as though the 9 other sucked all his energy juice. After the births, the Queen was titled Dasa Radha, and quickly her 10th son became her favourite, while the King kept away from him for his weak structure and took care of the rest 9, who got vigourous training in artillery and politics. Dashakantha liked to play on his mother's lap all day long and grew amoung the courtesan's learning more of art than warfare. He was scared of everything irrespective to his familiarities, and one thing tops them all is the familar foot steps of his father. His father would strom into the Queen's palace and with his authority creates havoc and finally insults Dashakantha before walking away. Soon after he left, Dashakantha could find his mother in a sore state, but helplessly weeps beside her.
The philosophy of the Kingdom is to divide the living form of life by 8. Thus, the state's constitution conditions that the Prince should be chosen at the age of 8 and from then trained to become an able leader. The valliant will become the sucessor of the vast Empire. Suyodhana was proud to introduce to the panel his 9 sons, who demonstrated various skills before the elderly. The onlookers were astonished by the young talents. Minister Narendhira Verman objected. Addressing Suyodhana as 'My Lord', he expressed that all the 10 children should be baptised during the event. He pointed out that the whole concept of that ritual is to elimiate discremination. Hiding behind one of the curtains Dashakantha hesitantly joined his blood brothers who wore a mocking laughter on their face. Verman asked Dashakantha to perform, and Dashakantha not knowing what to do, just sang the song his mother used to sing to him, innocent enough not knowing that it had lyrics complaining about the Kingdom and its Ruler.
That evening, Suyodhana entered the Queen's palace and took away the sleeping Dashakantha by force. Ignoring the pleas of the Dasa Radha, Suyodhana dragged his 10th son over the corrider, all the while trying to calm himself with thoughts as to Dashakantha was indeed his son too. So he deceided 'to-pull-the-man-out-of' Dashakantha. He calculated & took Dashakantha for hunting and teach him the basics of the Honour of Kings & Man's Supremacy.
The King shot an arrow which pierced through the left eye of an hare. The rabbit ran away and in the process of crossing a bush, the arrow fell, plucking its eye off. Leaving traces of blood and agony cries, the bloody little animal disappeared into the woods. The father instructed his son to find and bring back the wounded animal. Dashakantha afraid of the dark looked at his father, who waited for his son to move forward. Slowly creeping inside the woods, scared of anything moved by the wind, even his own shadow, Dashakantha reached the wounded animal. It did not move, but was still breathing. He approched the bunny and could see a red hole in the place of an eye. When he was quite close, the hare turned its head towards him, its nose gasping rapidly for air. In the moon light thier eyes met, one filled with terror and the others with horror.
Suyodhana slaped the dreaded Dashakantha, as the King was not happy with his pawn returning empty handed. He roared at Dashakantha - 'If one hunts, he wins the prey'.
No one knew that this line would change the phase of Dashakantha's life, that later, when he grew up, he renamed himself to Vettaiyan.

Three Blind Priests
The hooded stranger sat by the campfire. Beside him on both sides were the crippled and at the begining of the circle before him were the 3 priests of the Oliwechu Tribe. Every face, except the stranger's, was not only missing hope but some flesh and even parts. The priests, one by one, spoke the Tales of Terror to the stranger, the words that the jungles can only whisper.
Episode 1
First Blind Priest - The Fate of Oliwechu
When the 4 kids, who went to play in the Vettaiyan Forest, did not return until dusk, a group from Oliwechu, a small village at the shadows of Akshara Falls, go inside the jungle with torch lights. Their search soon ended when they did not find the children, but only their torn parts. They could make out only 3 from the debris of flesh, and hoping to find the fourth one, they moved further. Beneath a rock, adjecent to the falls, they found a lump of red meat. An animal has certainly played with its prey before killing it. After the moarning, the 3 wise men of Oliwechu declared to put an end to Vettaiyan & his deformed monsters.
A drop of Honey collected by the tribals of Oliwechu was sweeter than 1000 drops of nectars, thanks to the wonderful and precious flowers that grew in and around the Falls from where the soldier bees selectively collected Amrutham for their Queen. The Oliwechu Tribe were Nature Worshiping people, and they carefully treat nature without disturbing the ecosystem. The love and passion they show makes the Honey a Heaven. Vettaiyan adored the honey from Oliwechu, apart from the tribal women and their dance. The courtesan opened the small pot of honey, a token of Sincerity from Oliwechu Tribe, and diped her finger inside. She tasted the honey with a huge smile, forgetting the dangerous job she was appointed to do. After waiting a moment, Vettaiyan forcefully took the pot from her hand. He took the tip of the pot to his lips to suck in the honey, the heaven he wished to taste for long.
The Priest watched Vettaiyan carry the pot to his lips. Inside the pot hidden, under the thick golden liquid, was a tiny snake, the venomous baby Bigarus Seruleus. Its a breed of snake with high audible strength which dwells both on land and water, particularly found only in Vettaiyan Jungles. They react very fast to noises. When the courtesan dipped her finger, the Priest was scared that the wrinkles would awake the sleeping snake. Now, the priest waited for the moment when Vettaiyan was going to make the last noise of his life.
At the same moment, when Vettaiyan brought the pot to his lips with grand eyes, Kaaga, one of his monster dog, pushed the gaurds and leaped forward. From the time the Priest arrived, Kaaga was restless. Vettaiyan ordered to capture Kaaga and the gaurds held the chains. The leap of Kaaga seemed like a frozen time to the Priest. In that freezed frames, the Priest could watch the monster in mid air, Vettaiyan lips coupling the pot and a tiny green snake head out with its spakling teeth ready to shower its power. The golden dust particles through the window illuminated by the sun's rays circled around the Priest. The next moment will not only deceide the nemesis of Vettaiyan, but the Priest's own, as well as the Fate of Oliwechu.

Episode 2
Second Deaf Priest - The Fall of Oliwechu
The stranger with no face, kept looking at the Priest who could not carry on. The Second Priest took his parole.
Kaaga toppled the tiny pot, pouring the honey and the action lifted the hidden snake high in the air. Bigarus Seruleus spinned several time in the air before it fell down, all the while Vettaiyan's eyes followed its downfall. Kaaga landed on the other side and skided to a stop. The Master's & the Monster's eyes met briefly. The fallen serpent, a bit dizzy from the crash, tried to push forward, when something heavy fell on its back of the neck. The viper tried to reach the furry thing which was over it with a hiss, but could not reach the paws of Chintha, another monster dog of Vettaiyan. Antha and Utta, the last two Horror Hounds, sliently crept from beneath the throne and sat before the Priest, the calmness in their approach sent lumps down the throat of the Priest. Everything happened in a fraction of a second : the crash of the snake, the positioning of the dogs and now Vettaiyan looking straight at the Priest with his evil smile - 'laka laka laka'.
The three priests were tied to each others back, hands attached together. After several weeks, they could not make out whose hand was touching whose. Their feet were coated with oil and in regualar intervals fire burners could approach their legs, just to make sure that the temperature of the oil is maintained to a certain point, that it does not do much harm to the flesh but just deliver the pain sent by the hot oil, round the clock, all over the Priests bodies that they could neither sleep nor stay awake.
The calm & cool night was disturbed by hissing noises. The tibals of Oliwechu awoke in panic to experience an Attack of the Vipers. The vipers were the hybrid to Bigarus Seruleus, called Hoggrata, just that their bite does not kill but are very toxic that creates allergies to the skin. Several villagers were bit that night and several children left their last breath not supporting the immense pain caused by the snake bite.

The hooded stranger could now notice all the gore of Oliwechu around him - the crippled tribals - and got an answer for the cause of their horrors - a Tribe fallen just in one night. Continuing to listen to the Priest, he further learnt that, they were release after accepting to poke their own eyes. It took them several months to bring the courage to pluck their own eyes, and finally reach their village. The tribe of Oliwechu still serve the King Vettaiyan, continued the 3rd Priest.

Episode 3
Third Dumb Priest - The Man of 10 Voices
Vettaiyan marked his brothers in descending order. All of his brothers encountered gruesome deaths in the forests - sucked in by quick sand, poisoned by consuming jungle mushroon, head broken by the fall of a huge tree branch, lost in an abondonned cave - found dead, died during an attack of the cannibals, drowned in the river Daboya, bleed to death by a broken ankle, squashed by a jungle elephant, slipped and fell from a cliff.
Karthikeya, the 6th brother of Vettaiyan was a trouble. He was always surrounded by his 5 childhood friends and these 6 united were unmovable. Each gaurded the rest is the secret of thier brotherhood. The 5 friends saved Karthikeya in different suituations, some even life taking. Vitara, the miner-architect, was consulted to reconstruct the mines of Medhaveli. Suituated in the valley of Malliga Mountains, its one mouth was the opening of the Deadly Caves and the other was closed by the Daboya river. This place carried a rumour - there was a mysterious being sleeping on its passage. The rumour added that only Vettaiyan had passed this passage and came out with his monster dog Antha. Karthikeya & his 5 friends enter the cave to make things easier for Vitara Company to work without any problem.
The cave was darker than usual. Carrying the bag of food on their back, the 6 advanced with caution. Drops of thick liquid fell over them. They carefully avoided it and they stood before a stone like door. Two started to move it which created a little opening thru which hundreds of tiny poisonous spiders started to crawl. Karthikeya was intelligent enough to burn them with his torch. Further into the cave there was a pit (named Iravigraha) and a swamp of water (named Thelivapara). They deceided to pass the night there. One of them took out a piece of bread from his back pack and had a munch. Immediately, he threw it and ran to the rest and kicked the food from their hands. Before he arrived at Karthikeya, he was already loosing his sight and red fluids fountained out of his mouth bathing Karthikeya's face. The food was poisoned, the thick liquid at the enterance of the cave was not an immediate danger, but a planned attack. Following pursuit, another one fell flat and upon verification he had 2 tiny bite marks of the spider which confirms the attack. Who was this mysterious attacker ? Wondering, the remaining friends packed and got past the Iravigraha but the next morning all their 6 dead bodies were found, converting the rumour to reality.
Vettaiyan and his first born brother, Malarvendan, were moarning over the death of their blood brothers. The Nature was to be blamed and Malarvendan hated the forests, the home lands of Vettaiyan, for mysteriously consuming all his brothers. Vettaiyan adviced his brother to take a break by proposing to go for a yatch ride on the lake Daboya. His elder brother enjoyed the scenary all the while Vettaiyan explaining him the various aspects of the jungle and its richness. But the Vettaiyan Jungle has its own secrets too, and its time for Malarvendan to know them all. With a shake of the boat, his brother feel into the water. Vettaiyan knows exactly his brother's weakness, just like he did of his other brothers - Malarvendan was too heavy that he cannot float. Vettaiyan sitting on the boat saw the last bubbles reaching the surface and then started to row on, signing the death of his bothers on the lake of Daboya with his tongue 'laka laka laka'.

Vettaiyan's sleep was disturbed by a distant cry of an animal. He was sleeping inside his tree cabin in his jungle. Beneath the tree were 2 bodies of young women, their fate not even the forest darkness could digest. Vettaiyan started walking towards the weeping call. He found a wounded puppy, one of its ear was cut off. It was very fragile that only its eyes spoke the pain and its body could not move. He took the puppy with his both palms, looked at it and then looked at the Moon. Two weeks later, the puppy was riding in a small pouch fixed to the saddle along with Vettaiyan on the horse. When they passed the Path of Daboya, it groaned. Vettaiyan got off his horse and walked thru the green path completely lightless by the dense growth. The small dog followed him. They came before a table around which there were 4 theives having their meal. Vettaiyan looked at the dog. It did not return his look but was starring at the 4 theives. Apparently, one or all of them were guitly. When they saw Vettaiyan, they offered him a drink, as theives are the King's allies. After a cup of Jungle Liqueur, Vettaiyan looked at the puppy, and thats when the theives knew that he was not alone and the one eared dog still lived. Vettaiyan could see the guilt in their eyes, the result of thier fun act. The Theif Captain cut the fingers of the other three, and chopped off his fingers from his left hand. With bloody face he looked at Vettaiyan as to how he could cut the fingers of the other hand. Vettaiyan stood up and asked him to keep the rest of his fingers as souvenir and walked away into the dark with Utta.
A little animal ran through the thick bushes. It ran as though it cannot be stopped, until a sharp branch of a fallen tree pierced straight into its right eye. He became motionless. Next, everything seemed to become so light. It felt as though it was floating. All of a sudden the wound burns subdued with coldness, and it started to feel wet. Then the something softer than its mother's belly allowed it to dream about its mother & brothers. The dream did not last long, as the images of the Big Bad Wolves and their Killer teeths woke him up with a cry. He could not see on one side, but could make out a hand trying to lift him with the other and finally he lands meeting the face of his saviour. Two weeks later, it started of from the place where it wounded itself. It ran again, until it came to the mouth of the Dealy Caves of Malliga Mountains, a tremendrous mountain covered with Jasmine plants. The horse steps from behind came to a halt to. Vettaiyan took out his bow & arrow and entered the Dark Caves of Malliga. When he returned back, his white King Suit was red, and he poured a dozen of Wolves Eyes before the puppy, as a gift to wash away its sorrow. He bent down and spoke to Antha : An eye for an eye, old style, A dozen Eye for an Eye, Vettaiyan Style.
Grabbing the 3 months old, it entered the stream that joins the water falls. It struggled to keep its baby out of water and at the same time to swim. The swift of the water was too fast and the mother dog with its puppy were washed away. During the flight down, a sharp flat stone from nowhere landed on the nose of the puppy, choping one side of its flesh. They both fell on the shallow water. The mother dog quickly swam and grabed its unconsious puppy. It laid its kid in a place which it thought was safe, but immediately was shocked to hear foot steps. Scared but prepared to defend with all its teeth projecting out, it looked straight at the eyes of the Man in White. Two years later, Vettaiyan rode past the Akshara Falls. He stopped at a place where only a strech of land seperated him from the Oliwechu Tribe Village. He camped there that night overlooking the village. At dusk, 4 kids came hopping over the Jungle Grass. They looked everywhere and sounded cheerful, until a terrifying noise short circuited into their attention. Before them were 4 Big Deformed Dogs - one without an eye, the other with one ear less, the third with a nose cut & just behind them was the mother of all Dogs - staring at them. Then the kids lifted their eyes to see Vettaiyan smiling at them leaning on top of his horse Bhaja. The dogs did not look at their Master, but just heard the tap on his laps and that very moment jumped onto the kids. When they returned, Vettaiyan carressed Kaaga and looked at its mother Chintha. Their eyes met for a brief moment, what passed was understood and all 4 followed Bhaja on which their Master Vettiayan Rode.
In the deserted, mist covered jungle, the silence was broken with 'laka laka laka' followed by the Howl of the Hounds.

Chapter 4 - Vettaiyan Rajyam
(The Kingdom of the Hunter)
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves. - William Shakespeare (Julius Caesar)
Vettaiyan became an ally of Kama (Lust), Lobha (greed), Krodha (Anger), Mada ( Arrogance), Moha (Attachment) & Matsarya (Covetousness) and along with his five faithful members - The Politician, The Architect, The General, The Vaithiyar & The Poet - he regined over the Kingdom of the Forest. Fear was the nation's flag and terror was its emblem. The surrounding kingdoms were his allies - some in fear, some as in 'birds of feathers', and few others controlled using high voltage political strategies - thus, no one else existed to oppose him. People were happy with the least they got. Vettaiyan was very generous to the 13 tribes which shared the Jungle, the tribals paying an invaluable price to gain peace. Women were free, so was liqeur. Culture flourished where dance & music were the Kingdom's crown jewels.
Episode 1 - The Politician
Narendhira Verman was appointed as the chief of the inspecting committee. He did not obtained this post by merit, neither did he get it thru acheivement. He was the brother of Dasa Radha. He could not tolerate the atrocities of King Sama towards his sister, and waitied patiently in the King's own shadow to seek his revenge. Moreover rumour spread that Verman pimps his wife to the King, which was partitally true - his wife held an affair with the King.
Verman is the best in what he does. He is caculative, quick and efficient who can bring down a whole army without a fight. So, to test his own instincts after taking the role of Chief to choose the sucessor from the 10 Princes, he visited the school in which the they were being coached. He stood by the windows as an annonym watching the hyper reactive futures of the Kingdom. But in a corner he noticed a brittle kid siting as though a leaf stuck to the wall in a strom. The students were put to a question : How much litres of water is needed to remove the state of this pot's emptiness ? The Princes immediately started to calculate the volume of the empty pot before them, with all the formula they were familiar with. Some even moved to closely invetigate the pot and take measurements, to become the most accurate of all. Dashakantha did not move, he seemed nervous, but his eyes had a flicker of confidence that he already knew the answer. Trained to read lips, Verman could manage to decode the message from Dashakantha lip moment, which was softer than a whisper - One Drop. Smiling, Verman left as silently as he had come.
Loud humping noises woke Dashakantha. He found himself on the floor adjesant to the corridor. He could not recollect how he landed there or he didn't even experience the daily nightmare - his father's footsteps. When he regained and came back to his mother's chamber, he found the door just an inch open. Thru the gap he witnessed something that terror would be terrified.
Sitting by the tree after the cremation ceremony, Dashakantha was trying ways to hide the secret he alone knew. He felt his weakness at its peak, as neither he could talk, nor forget, but just suffer. And as an horrible trace, he could not remove the vision of the stare from his mother, with her sunken upside down eyes, looking at him with the support of the fallen neck by the bedside, all the while his father on top of her. Verman knew that his wife had an hand in the plot, and steadily approached Dashakantha and assured him that nothing was his fault, neither his birth nor her death, and certainly not his state, but the mistake was from within - 'As You Think, So You Become'. Before leaving, he turned and told him that even a serpent would hiss to create fear; Dashakantha was his chosen Prince.
From then, Verman appointed several scholars to use drastic teaching techniques to train Dashakantha. Everything was happening under the nose of Suyodhana who still harassed Dashakantha while he was with the courtesans. Dashakantha used all the hate he had faced through his brothers, and worked hard to forget his mother's last vision by becoming a spun snake, hiding all his horrors in spirals and deep down was the head ready to unseal its venomous teeth. One by one he and his Famous-5 climbed over the heads of his blood brothers and reached the throne.

Episode 2 - The Architech
A truly great book should be read in youth, again in maturity and once more in old age, as a fine building should be seen by morning light, at noon and by moonlight. - Robertson Davies
Vitara was called in for a purpose - not to renovate but to remodel the mines of Medhaveli. He was a voyager and sucker of all evil plans and he was just back from the west after animating the construction of a tomb for a dead Emperor, designed to be theives-free. Vitara asked Vettaiyan about the rumours, just to get clarified with certain life & death suituations. Vettaiyan smiled and nodded his head before assuring him. He opened to him that Antha, his sincere pet dog, had put an end to his fears. He added that, when he was kid he saw one the finest Man landing on the banks of Daboya. When this Man looked straight at the hiding kid Dashakantha, Vettaiyan after these many years, could still recollect His sparkling eyes, His waxed body & toping all, His affectionate smile. The Man had went into the cave after a brief chat with Suyodhana. For several years, Vettaiyan wanted to go inside to see the intentions of the Man from the Sea. Finally, Antha gave him the courage. After a pause, he asserted to Vitara that if at all there was anything inside, it was of no harm to Vitara. Thus, Vitara laid traps inside the cave to distribute and kill the friends of Karthikeya.
Karthikeya and his remaining 3 friends left their dead mates and reached the mouth of the pit. Taking them by suprise, from beneath the dark pit, appeared the head of a metal crocodile which got hold of one of his friend's leg. After a struggle, the pull they made seperated the leg from the victim friend - freed but limp. But the agony was not yet over. 4 other small metal aligators sprang from the 2 eyes and nossiles of the Mother Metal. Two took of the hands, the third removed the last leg and finally the forth waited a moment to enjoy the horror amoung the friends and plucked off the head. Everything became silent again, no trace of the Metal Family. Before them was just the torso of their beloved friend floating on his own blood. At the very moment, from the swamp Thelivapara, grew 2 monstrous sea water plant with tiny pines on their envelope. When it opened, it looked like the Mouth of 1000 vampires, from which sprang out one blue & one red fluid balls. Looking at the direction of the flight - coming directly towards Karthikeya - the remaining two friends jumped and walled him. The red ball stuck one, and he immediately melted forming a marsh of his own flesh and blood, and the last standing friend, still stood but frozen, his eyes staring at Karthikeya before shattering into pieces. Karthikeya panicked and ran towards the nearest exit, and just after few rocks he was glad to see his brother Vettaiyan, and so was his brother too.
Vitara & Vettaiyan used to take long walks and discuss various topics. Vitara was impressed with Vettaiyan's knowledge over many fields, esp. music & dance, but at the same time Vitara could grasp the fact that Vettaiyan's life was always in danger - An Hunter who survived more death than the number of days he had lived. To extend his friendship and loyalty to the King, Vitara proposed to renovate the Vettaiyan Palace. One who enters the Palace, cannot leave - the place became a huge maze of granite and marbles. Also in an unidentifed location, Vitara had setup a tunnel leading to the jungle. The Palace was sound proof, so that its dwellers were deaf to the special prisoners who were tortured under its depths.
During the meeting with the ministers, Vettaiyan would sit beside the window and reproduce the bird's flight noise by drumming on the wodden table and on the arrival of each minister, he would drum exactly the sounds of their foot step as a mocking gesture. Plus he could whistle for a whole afternoon apart from performing perfectly several instruments, styled singing and classical dance. And he was a creator too, who patiently & passionately took several years to finish the potrait of his mother, which is now hung on the walls of a very special place.
http://www.mayyam.com/talk/attachmen...0&d=1437643282
So, the assemble hall, the courthouse, the theatre and the rest of private chambers were exclusiely designed by Vitara for Vettaiyan, whom he considered as the Greatest Artist of Any Time.

Episode 3 - The Vaithiyar
Vaithiyar Kreesnama Muni was about in his eighties, and that exactly how he looked right from the chilhood days of Vettaiyan. Kreesnama Muni was a Jack of any Trade. His principle practise was medicine, and too much love towards reading allowed him to explore many other fields like alchemy, chemical reactions, cartography and designing time based events. He knew every single plant & creature that dwelt in the forest, using which he reproduced life saving and miraculous and killer medicines. He visits the tribes in the dark to learn their technics and most often roams around the Harbour of Daboya to meet strangers and foreigners to accuire new details or to render his service.
Kreesnama was Vettaiyan's favourite for 2 reasons. The Vaithiyar made him tonics when he went for hunting, which allowed him to be strikingly sharp. The tonic increased his audibility as well as his movements. Other prescribed tonics included - seeing in the dark, horse riding on the bed, infections free, keepaway - hunger, sleep, thirst & physical pain, and the last from the big list was the ecstasy tonic Mayil. Vettaiyan had come out with several strategies using this tonic, and what was rumoured to be the 'Vision of Vettaiyan' was nothing but the Magic of Mayil. Apart from the medicinal tonics, Muni had assisted Vettaiyan in all occassions by providing transperant poisons, unflamable oil, infective spiders, toxic mushrooms, metal design, pulley tricks, chemical compounds and the list went on without an end.
The second reason was for keeping his father not only alive, but healthy too.
At the far end of the Garden Palace, Vettaiyan cremeted the bodies of his brother which were found from different parts of the Jungle. Each time he set fire, he looked towards the Kingdom's Guest House, suituated at the opposite end. He did not take his eyes until they met with his favourite site - a moment near the window. Then a crooked smile escaped his lips and he walked away throwing the torch light at a nearby gaurd.
Suyodhana opened his eyes. Before him, over the wall of the room, hung a potrait of Dasa Radha. Mirrors were positioned on the other 2 walls in a way that a different reflection of the dead Queen would be seen - the images always reflected that of a couple. The forth wall held a curtainless window, opening to the fabulous site of the Garden Palace, but each time one looks through it, the sight lands on the cremation ground. Woken up by the distant terror foot steps, he pannicked and sat over the couch breathing heavily. The doors slammed open and Vettaiyan charged in towards his father as though rewritng his own nightmares.
Vettaiyan took a place before his male parent and with his eyes, ordered a courtesan to sit over his laps. Suyodhana sat helplessly before his staring son, the eyes spitting fire and the lips crookedly smiling at his fate. Not tolerating any more the silence that ruled the Hell Space, he got up and walked to the window, but there, through the aperture, the pain only multipled, as he could only notice the 9 burnt pasture on the ground. And the horror would follow - Vettaiyan pushed the courtesan from his laps and walked towards his father, who felt his presence through the breathe that hit his neck, but he did not turn back. They stood there in that position for a while, until Suyodhana listened to the fading foot steps. A deep flush of breath rushed to him that made his cough. Vettaiyan, now at the door steps stopped, looked to his right and then to his left, and from nowhere 2 courtesans carrying drinking pot rushed to Suyodhana. The pots held the Magic Portions prepared by the Vaithiyar.
Vettaiyan reached the doors, but before leaving turned back. Adjusting his earring, he spoke to his father for the first time in several long painful years, assuring him that he will not let him die until he found the wounded Hare from that Horror Night.

Vettiayan, then, disappeared into the corridor. Another sort of silence took its place - daily peace after the daily terror.

Episode 4 - The Poet
Woe to the man who leaves behind a shadow that bears his form. - Victor Hugo
Vettaiyan sat on the bench in his Palace Garden. He looked at his pets, which were restlessly circling around. He waited. After a while, 2 sat beside him and the other 2 went behind the bushes. Vettaiyan, then, punched the bench and a small cone popped from the wooden plank, which he caught mid-air. He opened it, recovered its content and pressed the cone back from where it popped, which camouflaged with the wooden seat. The message in the cone read :
He sees through the hoods,
And roams around the woods.
He comes from far,
And seeks nothing but war.
Mountian flies are his allies,
With whom he will strike the furnace,
During the time not yet known,
Until the man in the hood is blown.
- The Poet.
The blind dog could not see where the paper-ball stopped rolling. The deaf animal failed to hear the crump of the paper thrown by his master. The breathless beast was unable to sniff the position of the fallen object. But all three followed their Monster Mother who approached the secret message, now on the grass floor, and sat beside it. The cubs surrounded the object and in no time the message was dust.
Behind him the evening sun was turning red and he thought it would have been easier if Chandramukhi was with him at present.

Episode 1 - Birth of a Beauty
Kanika was a dashing dancer in the Kingdom. She could bring all the intense pleasures of her clients just with her dance moves alone. Want to sign a contract with the allies, bring in Kanika, was Suyodhana's strategy. Kanika was the ultimate weapon of seduction who played a vital role in shaping up the Kingdom's foreign policy.
On a moon shiny night, the Beauty was born. The delivery happened in a secret place, a building with walls but no roof. He walked impatiently around the corners of the building until he heard the baby cry. He rushed inside and looked at Kanika, lying inbetween 2 pregnancy specialist tribal women. Kanika returned his sight with a smile. The old lady signaled him to come forward, and he advanced slowly as though all his happiness were weighing on him. As he approached, he got his first glimpse of his daughter kicking and pulling at the same time beside her mother Kanika. The lady beside the baby, handed over the little pearl to her father. He lifted the new born and took a great look at her. With eyes of charcoal floating on the swan's milk, lips of pink petals, nose of iceberf, cheeks of green apples and the flesh as tender as her mother's lips, the baby looked back at him. His daughter coupled his finger with hers, when he noticed the cresant nails on her soft long fingers. He lifted her to compare her with the beautiful object hanging in the night sky, and when he saw them both side by side, he called out with joy - Chandramukhi.
The kingdom rumours mashed a lot about who the father of Chandramukhi was, where each corner of the street had its own theory. Kanika did not mind all things that was spoken about her and her child, but showered immense love on her baby. Chandramukhi grew faster, as though the passing years blessed her with more beauty. At the age of 4, she first met her uncle. Growing amoung a dance soceity dominated by woman, Chandramukhi immediately liked the presence of her uncle. From then she explored various interesting things in her life, by visiting various other states and gaining immense knowlege over art & culture. She showed immense fasination over single handed weapons, espicially the dragger blade.
Kanika was weeping over the bench. Chandramukhi's uncle was beside her consoling. They were discusing the secrets that except the breeze that touched the moon were aware of. The uncle turned to the sound of a tiny weep, the tears were so heavy that they made the noise. Camouflaged with the plants around the bench, the 8 years old Chandramukhi emerged from the bushes. The three looked at each other, Chandramukhi now knew who her father was. Years passed, but the secret was still intact, Chandramukhi possessed the traits that was a dream to any woman - keeping a secret.
After the graduation, her uncle saw an immense potential in her. Chandramukhi had all her mother's characteristics, her owned beauty and there was something deadly hidden inside. Her attitude, vigilance & reaction were some asserts the Kingdom could use. He wanted to break her from just being a seduction chain, but allow her other instincts and talents to strengthen the prowess of Chandramukhi. He exactly knew which door to knock.

Chapter 5 - Chandramukhi
There is no exquisite beauty, without some strangeness in the proportion. - Edgar Allan Poe
Episode 2 - The Spy who Kissed Me
Minister Verman took Vettiayan for an 'employment chat' over the long corridors of the Palace. He was talking about a recrutiment that could be a great asset to the Kingdom. Between each pillar they passed, the wind force entered their path disturning the hair that Vettaiayn had let loose. After listening to the laurels about a stranger from his minister, Vettaiyan mocked him saying that he never spoke that much high about the Ruler himself, and immediately dismissed his mockery with curiosity. The minister replied that the recruit's uncle was his childhood friend, and a kind of person who assits the Kingdom's off the record works. Shrugging the shoulders, as if indicating a ' Why Not !', he ordered his minister, with his trade mark smile, to set up a meeting with this valiant person, for which Verman shocked him by announcing that the recruit was present with them there at the very moment. Vettaiyan rushed to check behind every pillar, but all the space were empty. He looked at Verman, who called out - Chandramukhi - which heard sweeter than the Oliwechu Honey in Vettaiyan's ears.
All of a sudden from behind a pillar that the King had already checked, Chandramukhi emerged. The first reaction that Vettaiyan got, made him bite his upper lips. His eyes became tiny, concentrating only on the vision of the Beauty before him. He followed every tiny movements of the walking allure, until Chandramuki approached him and broke his oneirology with a graceful salute with her sugar voice. Vettiayan was gald that, what he was experiencing was reality. He circled her once, taking the whole time from every passing second. He, then, brushed passed her, returning her salute with "laka laka laka".
Assignment One
Foreign religions took a massive sweep over the Kingdom. Their goal was to take away the hope from the people and re-install it under a new name. For that, they targeted all the higher officials, to shake the soceity with despair. A huge noise trembled the air in front of the palace, just when Vettiayan entered the gates. Without giving much time to react, another one went off, this time the flying fire barrels taking couple of gaurds with them. Yet again no time to realise, smoke covered around Vettaiyan. Coughing, Vettaiyan looked as sharp as possible with his burning eyes. The suffacation made him tired that he could only see 2 men with covered face running towards him. The onlooking gaurds did not know what was happening, as the smoke was so dense that erradicated any vision. From nowhere, another masked warrior had jumped in a cricular motion around him, the warrior's lips caressing Vettaiyan's cheeks in the flow, and the next moment, he saw two headless bodies under Bhaja's legs.
That evening he received a message, the sender whom Vettaiyan can be thankful but never meet to say it :
Take care my brother, during this bad weather,
The House will come to bother, but will wither.
The stones and marbles may shatter,
The Poet will be with you only matter.
The same evening, in a liqeur den at the south corner of the city, the clients were going crazy over the girl on stage. A fat man pushed every body, and walked to the girl. He pulled her by force, and no one stoped him, but paved way to take her away with him. They entered the room at the back of the bar, where 2 men were waiting. The fat man with unusual dress seemed to be angry. He yelled at them asking what he had to reply to the House. Then he growled at them to get out. He pulled the petite girl towards him and tried to make her obey by pushing her on the nearby bed. The girl gradually climbed over the fat man, and landed on top of his pelvic region. She let her hair loose, and the fat man was astonished by the beauty that she reflected even in the dim light. Before his astonishment came to an end, Chandramukhi ended his life by slitting his throat with her Golden Dragger.

But he who dares not grasp the thorn, Should never crave the rose. - Anne Bronte
Episode 3 - The Spy who Killed Me
Several weeks had passed, Vettaiyan ran in loop the sensation of the soft lips that had carressed him. At a snap of his finger, the matches would light, the woman would bend and the kingdoms would fall, but to the owner of those lips he wished to surrender. After a quick enquiry, he travelled to the whereabout of his Spy. On the way, he stopped at the jungle and gazed at the tall trees - close but seperated at the bottom, and tall but met each other on the top with their sway. For the first time in his dreadful life, he forgot everything, both his childhood horrors and the current insecured life. He walked enjoying the plesant moment through the woods, over the grass, by the lake, singing the song of his heart full of Chandramukhi.
Never he felt such a way - a sight where the prey and its hunter walked hand-in-hand. It was so radical that, Vettaiyan wished to bed Chandramukhi only through her acceptence. He not only wanted her body, but her spirit too. He dreamt about sailing their souls to newer peaks where no man or woman have ever travelled. With all such thoughs battling to win over each other, Vettaiyan reached the city of Narukukana, where Chandramukhi is supposed to be halted. Just as the cities name, that night Vettaiyan's dreams shattered, and this time once and for all.
Gunasekaran was an handsome and a bright young man. During his college days, girls were flocking around him, and he flurted with them using his dancing methods. Ailing from a great dancer family, his rudeness was blunted by Chandramukhi when she won over him in a competition. Since then, they flashed bombs at each other, which eventually blossomed a common reaction between them. Chandramukhi loved Gunasekaran as the moon with the sky, and he resiprocated with pride and compassion. Together they were the perfect couple, a painting painted on the brightest day. She once spoke to her uncle about her affair, and he welcomely assured her that after her principle tasks are overr, soon she could be married to Gunasekaran. Caught between duty and love, Chandramukhi secretly meets Gunasekaran during her secret missions. Opposite to her chambers at the Vetttaiyan Palace, she cunningly set up a school of dance for the coutesans, which was readily approved by the King. This day, Gunasekaran could not let her go, and insisted on eloping with her. She denied, saying that she will take him to her uncle and they can get married through their own dance ceremony.
The charioteer left leaving Vettaiyan with the depressing message. Vettaiyan reached his palace. Dhashakantha did not want to beleive, Vettaiyan wished just to end it. For his love, for Chandramukhi, for himself, he gave a second chance. Early next morning, he looked at the shinning sun through his window and heard the piegions gracefully cooing around their post. He was gald, at the same time sad to induce that The Poet had got his message :
I desire to hunt a Peacock, Will I win my Prey ?
Peep into the nest to see, Whose egg it has laid.
2 days later, while he was having his breakfast, a courtesan announced that the tribes from Keera Mountains have sent him lamb meat. A man carried a basket holding the raw meat and placed it before Vettaiyan. He never bothered to lift his head, but walked back as silently as he had entered. Closing the door, Vettaiyan opened the basket covered with palm leaf. Inside there were serveral fresh meat, still oozing blood. He poured them on the dining table, and took time to look at each piece. He deceided to pick the choosen one - a lamb thigh - where the meat was briliantly stitched to the bone. He cut the tiny invisible thread seperating the meat, and washed the bone. Carved on it, the message read :
Peacock dances with the Rain,
Moving up and down the family grain.
Prey is not what you will gain,
The hunter will deceide who gets the pain.
He droped the bone to Utta, it did not take it. Antha and Kaaga joined the bone without touching it. Chintha marched slowly. She looked at Vettaiyan, who was still starring at the bone, and with one swift cleanup took the bone and smashed it with her powerful jaws.

Episode 4 - Provoking the Flames of the Hunter
Gunasekaran finally got the guts to enter the Palace's Administration Chamber. Along with Chandramukhi, he marched through the wide corridors, their ankle bells rhythmically covering the chants of the wind. They were greeted inside by the Palace Ministers, who were exicted to see their performence - a once in a life time spectacle. When Chandramukhi announced to get socially accuinted with Gunasekaran, the well wishers readily accepted to host a ceremony. It was Verman who adviced that they do a performence for the King, and their Leader's happiness is more than a blessing. It was getting dark, and the Palace lamps were lighted, and under special instructions from the Ruler, the decoration resembled a festival of the century. Time passed, and upon hearing the retard over the presidings of the Hunter, the event was announced to commence. Gunasekaran and Chandramukhi gave a breath taking performence. Interrupting their joy, the usherer announced the arrival of Vettaiyan. The monster dogs descended the steps, followed by their master. Vettaiyan, to hide his agony, made sure to mock at each minister on his path to the Throne. The event restarted as soon as he took his seat. Vettaiyan enjoyed the performence, indulging himself by reacting to the dance movements of Chandramukhi & Gunasekaran.
Earlier, after reaching the dance floor opposite to the throne, Chandramukhi whispered to Gunasekaran to keep the event strictly professional, to which Gunasekaran had different thoughts. The only card he had to over-rule Vettaiyan was Chandramukhi. He wanted to show his supremacy to the Undisputed King, and thus, made the wrong mudra by caressing the pelvic area of Chandramukhi infornt of the Administrators of Vettaiyan.
Chandramukhi's instincts made her unhappy with the move done Gunasekaran. Chintha barked, the provocation reached Vettaiyan too. With a sudden gesture, he stood over the steps of his throne and punctuated his displeasure -'laka laka laka' - but converted his anger with 'Swaras', the notes of the octave. He moved around the couple, who have stopped dancing - Gunasekaran realising his mistake & Chandramukhi counting the time to pass, the 'laka laka laka' greeting made by Vettiayan at her when he entered, had an evil signature to it and did not resemble the one from their first meeting.
Gunasekaran head rolled on the ground.

Reaching the throne, Vettaiyan ordered the ultimate - to see his love burn before him. The last vision Chandramukhi had was of Vettaiyan holding a burning torch, the flames reflecting behind both his eyes. She turned into ashes to fire from Vettaiyan's 'laka laka laka'.

Siting on the bench, after reading The Poet's message about a wandering stranger in the woods, which ignited the the absence of Chandramukhi, Vettaiyan prepared himself to the meet the dangers, the stanger would bring onto him.
Behind him the evening sun was turning red. The Visions of Vettaiyan failed to forsee that he and Chandramukhi have entered into an eternal loop beyond timeline, that he should not only worry about the present danger but must be fit to face the future even after his death.

The Hitman 47
Vettaiyan spends atleast one day at the Garden Maligai where he tastes Mayil. He wishes to be all alone, not even disturbed by the humming bees. That evening, Vettaiyan was examining the garden rose, the petals were wide and soft. He couldn't escape but allow himself to get immersed it their sweet smell. He caught one of the rose from the bunch and shaked it. Few petals fell down. He bent and picked them one by one and left sliently carrying the one which was much thicker than the other fallen petals. He poured a sort of chemical on it and the petal turned white exposing the message it held :
Knock Knock. Who is there? Knuckles.
Shorter the message immediate the danger and he rushed to his chamber. He shut the doors and waited desperately in the dark. Few hours later, he heard a knock at the door. The uninvited has arrived. He slowly walked to the door, his heart pounding the rythms of death. He saw a human form dressed all black covering head to toe and only the eyes were staring at him. Beside the Killer he held a dragger that glittered in the moonlight escaping through the gaps in the corridor. Vettaiyan backed off and the murderer slowly charged towards him. Vettaiyan could see the smile in his eyes, when suddenly 6 Vettaiyan gaurds who were hiding behind the doors circled the Hitman. Without having any other option, the hitman slit his own throat - he was wrongly informed that Vettiayan would be alone in the Garden Maligai.

Preface
The half-broken lifeboat reached the shores of the rocky island. The last survivors of Yethi cargo ship crawled to the sands stuffing their water filled lungs with air. Slowly they recovered their visions and before them was the most greenest patures they have seen since boarding Yethi. Hurriedly they entered the thick forest of the Unknown Island and started collecting berries and drinking the sweet nectar from the magical plant that stored its juice in its flower cups. Quenching the thirst and hunger on the way, their path reached a flat surface with trees that grew in circlular pattern, and at the centre there was a huge Tree with climbers falling from their branches. At the bottom of the tree, sat a man of no age fully covered with white sand. The sailors walked on the floor bed of tiny, soft and colorful flowers which led them close to the white form. There was no movement on the Sitting Sage except his loose hair chatting with the breeze. He was so deeply covered with the colourless element that the form was only human with no nose or mouth on the face. A strange calmness surrounded them. The Sitting Sage opened his eyes, which shined as 2 yellow cystals. The sailors who were completely lost, regained their hope and announced to the Sitting Sage how their ship got caught in the monstrous strom and they 12 were the only ones left. The Sitting Sage smiled, he insisted on the word 'monstorous' that was spoken by the sailors. Neither the smile nor the words came out from no lips but still the 12 sailors could hear each word magically ryming with the mystical winds.
'If the strom was monsterous, then what will you call the creatures of the sea.' The sailors looked at each other. Soon the Sitting Sage comforted them that the crawlers of the sea, the creeper of the land and cutters in the wind existed no more, all slayed by Kochadaiiyaan - The Last Demi-God to Walk the Earth.
Chapter 1 - The Adventures of Kochadaiiyaan
The Anagha ship was huge. The bow (head of the ship) of Anagha was of a ferocious lion head with open mouth, just as it would look like before crashing the neck bones of its prey. The tongue was replaced with a huge cannon that spit fire, the bush of flame that would turn anything on its path to black powder. Anagha was modeled to be remodeled anytime. It is a jewel of modifications. At each sides it was equiped with smaller double cannons which launched chain-shots that broke the wideset masts and bomb vessels that weighed the hugest of the ships to sink. At the 4 corners of the deck were the rope guns to send rope lines to capture the enemy ship by entering into their own zone. It held 18 mast and their spars were the hugest, tallest and the heaviest. The cloth can cut through or travel against the wind. The stern (the tail of the ship) was divided into 2 major parts - the far end was coned to leak crude oil and on its back were barrels loaded with flamable chemicals. Its body was several centimeters thick made out of the same family of fine trees, selected and choped by its Captian. Anagha was 3 decked which held the crew cabins in the middle, row platforme at the bottom and on top, the navigation wheels & control positions. On top of the tallest mast was the Signal Post just below the Hoisted flag which held its Trident emblem in red over an yellow background. Nature was its ally that it chatted with the stroms, partied with the whirlpools, played with the pirate ships and rammed its way through the sea rocks.
Anagha was maintained by 63 sailors called the Alwars. They assited their Master who sailed through 7 seas protecting the 18 habours situated on 5 kingoms of allies and enemies. Various other members volunteerly got enrolled, some were the escaped salves traped in islands, others were prisoners of the Pirates and rest were the sea-bed villagers. A fully loaded Anagha with its crew and supplies looked like a fortified floating village, with the Demi-God commanding its wheels.
Six warriors accompained the Saviour - Yudhi, the axeman. Jishan, the archer. Vrikoda, the wrestler. Pandu, the knife-thrower. Deva, the whip. Shama, the Babydoll.
Shama, being the only lady warrior was close to her Master. The rest 5 were faithful to their Boss and together the Magnificient 7 rode the seas escaping it from the dangers. They brought happiness, justice, hope, laughter & friendship to all the dwellers of various kingdoms. In return, thier uncrowned King demanded only peace between the Empires and harmony amoung the people.
Thus, Kochadaiiyaan got the title amoung his worshipers - The Hunter from the Sea.

Episode 1 - The Sea Monsters
Makara
http://www.mayyam.com/talk/attachmen...3&d=1438001149
Kochadaiiyaan walked along with Prince Rishikodagan, the youngman who occupied the foreign relations of Kottaipattinam, one amoung the 5 Kingdoms. On the shore were debris of broken ships. Further, a half of a war vessel was blocked by the sands on which the sea waves were showing their angers. Pointing at the dead ship, Rishikodagan told Kochadaiiyaan without any pride that it was their biggest and the best War Ship with a strength of 150 crew members and that the sea further from Kottaipattinam was cursed - first it took in the cargo ships and then all the war ship returned only in pieces. He further added that they are in verge of war with Kalingapuri, as the new King Mahendran is not happy with them for breaching the trade treaties. They have to cross this crused part if the goods were to be delivered. They reached a small hut at the sea side, inside which laid a wounded sailor. His half body was completely burned by some sort of chemical and was motionless. His rest of the face was torn inbetween which held a scared eye that looked at Kochadaiiyaan. He bent and touched the sensible hand of the sailor which sent tiny waves over his body.
With a partially comprehensible accent, the sailor told them what he saw, which was a huge monster with huge tentacles that had pores which poured liquid that burns human skin. He recollected that it had a face of an elephant and one of its tentacles was indeed a trunk. Its body was quite flat which sticks to the ship vessel whiles its boneless hands break the ship down. Further, he stated that he could see a tail of a fish, when he alone miraculously escaped by faling on to a broken ledge which had reached the shores.
'Makara', whispered Kochadaiiyaan to which Rishikodagan put a blank face. He moved to Anagha and spoke with the Alwars. That evening he sat on one of the rocks folding one of his legs and letting the other one loose. Errect it that position he brought his fingers and cupped his nose. He went into an meditating stance under the moonlight. The 6 warriors surronded him, heavily gaurding the Saint, as during that form he will not react to any pain or joy and was very vulnerable. They murmured 108 lines repeatedly to keep him and themselves safe all through the night : 1. Om Shivaya Namaha ... 108. Om Parameshvaraya Namaha
The next day Kochadaiiyaan left to the hills. He came down with a sack full of plants. He handed them to the Alwars who prepared a paste. Two days later, charged with all the needed supplies, Anagha set sail towards the cursed sea, the whole crew applying the body lotion prepared by the Alwars.
Shama shrinked her face not supporting the foul smell. Soon others experienced it too. All of a sudden the sea water before them raised and fell at inappropriate manner. Slowly, fountains of water were pushed upwards around Anagha. Kochadaiiyaan ordered to put the sails down to half. The deck crew climbed the snars to rope down the sails as instructed by their Captain. A huge tentacle from the sea swept couple of the crew who fell onto the see. A trunk took hold of one of them and pulled him inside with it. A flat and curved head floated up with 2 aligator eyes. Its breathe turned gallons of water to waves. The next moment Anagha was under the crush of 8 tentacles and with a thud at the side of the ship, Makara stuck to the ships body, attacking anything that was visibly on ship.
Kochadaiiyaan rode to the top of the mast by cutting a pulley rope. He knew that Anagha cannot resit long as the power mixed with acidic fliuds will fragile her. On the top just beside him were barrels, loaded by the Alwars on a bed of the fishing nets. He looked at his both sides and signaled to Jishan & Pandu who were positioned on the top of other 2 masts. Jishan sent rapid arrow towards the knots on the net and Pandu threw his knives at them in quick sucession. Kochadaiiyaan took his bow Inesh and shot an arrow towards the net.
The free falling barrels found several resting place over Makara. Yudhi, who was choping the tentacles saw the barrels and prepared to react. On the two other corners Vrikoda who was wrestling with a huge mass of flesh and Shama who was spinning to escape the monsterous slashes, were ready too. The 3 in unison signaled the crew to throw lighted torches at the barrels, and also to ignite the fire balls from the double cannons. Everything went ablaze around Anagha. The barrels were connected to each other with cloth dipped in oil. The fire spread rapidly detonating every single barrel which contained crude oil and shrapnels in a continous explosions. The erruption created an unsteadiness on the Makara's grip and the tiny sharp blades flew and slashed the body and the tentacles. All the 8 tentacles fell like jelly pieces and one star shaped metal piece got itself buried inside the right eye of Makara.
Leaving behind a huge cry, the monster fell back into the sea. The crew rejoiced, but Kochadaiiyaan knew that they have just provoked the Kraken. After a few silent moments, the attack started with a violent shake of the ship and everyone felt something in their stomach due to the pseudo force. Kochadaiiyaan saw a tail of huge fish rapidly moving sideways. There was its weakness - Makara thrusts all it force threw the locomotion of its fishtail. He took out his sword Arha and jumped straight into the water from the top of the mast.
The crew and the warriors followed their Captians leap and his disappearence into the water. With one swift movement, Kochadaiiyaan chopped the tail of Makara with Arha. Everything came back to normal when a pool of blood started to float over the sea water. Inbetween the red pool, Kochadaiiyaan appeared completely soaked with blood and debris of flesh. Vrikoda pulled back their Hero on board, when Kochadaiiyaan ordered them to be more vigilant as the last leg of attack is about to begin. Just as he finished saying, a huge form leaped from the sea - head of an elephant with trunk touching its forehead, crying out load through its sharp teaths that bordered its mouth. The trunk came down heavy on the desk which rocked Anagha violently. Kochadaiiyaan signaled to Jishan, who prepared himself, while their Master started to run faster than the wind. With one swift jump, he caught the rope and cut its bottom which catapulted him to the top again. Hanging on both sides were 2 gaint barrels and coupling them under his arms, Kochadaiyaan made a free fall towards Makara.
Makara was preparing for its 2nd attack, it opened its mouth wide making gushing noises with its trunk, its teeth deadly than ever and thats when the flying Demi-God dropped the barrels in its mouth. Not wasting a second, Jishan sent two fire arrows. First went the barrels inside the Kraken's mouth, followed by 2 flaming arrows. When the barrels stuck its throat Makara was forced to close its mouth. After a beat of a moment, there was an explosion, that widened its stomach and then pieces came out tearing Makara. The lump of dead meat carpeted the sea on which stood Anagha.
Admist the flying metal pieces, Kochadaiiyaan grabed another rope on his flight down and descended just in time for his whole crew members hailing with joy - Kochadaiiyaan, Engal Kochadaiiyaan.

Kundalini
http://www.mayyam.com/talk/attachmen...6&d=1438012378
Kochadaiiyaan rode with King Gauthama, the ruler of the vast and resourceful lands of Karimedai. The land was surrounded by volcanos and caves, from which precious minerals were digged out. Trade flourished, until no ship made it to Karimedai. Stocks piled and Karimedai was closely touching the lines of famine. Reaching the top of the of the lighthouse, the Kings pointed out to a direction. Kochadaiiyaan reached for his telescope and disturbed its tiny state that it became a small coned stick. At its mouth it held the thinly cut oval shaped diamonds, placed over one another, forming a perfect convex. Through the tail eye hole, Kochadaiiyaan looked at the pointed direction. A lonely ship was roaming in the sea, and all of a sudden a form engulfed it and crushed it before sinking the ship to the bottom of the sea.
Kochadaiiyan put back his telescope and informed Gauthama about Kundalini, the gaint snake with claws as skin, teeths of sharp hill peaks, tongue of a flowing molten and a length of a biggest city in Karimedai. It lives in both water and land, and Kundalani may have nested in the volcanic caves of the region. Gauthama promised Kochadaiiyaan to provide all that he wishes to take down the monster. That evening, Kochadaiiyaan picked up a quite place by the sea shore and closed his eye allowing the rythmic noise of the waves to take him to the right place, all the while circled by his warriors.
The next morning his first visit was to the ironworks. After inspection over the smelting, he asked for a specific form of metal. That evening, he revisited the place with few Alwars. Satisfied with the result metal, he left after giving his guidence. Carpenters worked hard on Anagha for a month. In the meantime Kochadaiiyaan and his warriors were in recruitment spree. He needed well built and powerful men. After explaining the dangers of the voyage, Kochadaiiyaan asked the group to get into the ship if they are willing. The ship started to sail, none of the recruits fell behind.
The sea was silent, even the waves only whispered. It was replced by hissing noise that made every single hair raise. Kundalini circled Anagha. It was on its 5 round, when Kochadaiiyaan instructed to put the sails down. The ship floated over the wrinkles created by the monster. From deep inside the water a serpent head projected out showing its venomous teeth and its tail started to couple the vessel. It did not take its glowing red eyes off Kochadaiiyaan. The Captain shouted to his crew not to approach the crawling snake. The watcher from the Signal Post shouted that the serpent has engulfed the ship with its 2 spins. Kochadaiiyaan replied calmly, 'Not Now'. He gave the same reply until the announcer counted 13. Anagha was completely under the pocession of Kundalini, its body spinning around the ship making 13 circular shapes of claws grown over a green glowing skin. Trapped in the gaps inbetween the body of claws, the crew stood motionless. But one of sailor got accidently scratched on his arms by the deady claw. In a fraction of a second, he shivered and vomitted colourful fluid that burnt the deck when it hit the floor. The sailor fell and became a liquid form of himself and started to slide down the deck, the smoke indicating the path, and poured himself into the sea. Kundalini found it as the right moment to crush the Ship and signaled the same to Kochadaiiyaan by putting out its red tongue close to his face. Being face to face with the Serpent, Kochadaiyaan shouted 'Now'.
The rowers at the bottom deck started to move the huge oars. There were 5 on each side and the formation went till the end of the ship. Their continuous rowing opened a small shaft in the hull (bottom of the ship) through which a long sharp blade descended slowly. By their same action, several circular saws started to emerge over the gunwales (side walls of the ship). Once the projecting blades have reached the maximum limits, the rowers changed their action into circular motion. The blade at the bottom moved back and forth, cutting through the clawed hard skin of Kundalini. The spiral saws started to spin and penetrated the body of the serpent that cupped Anagha.
It took a while for Kundalini to realise the pain. A loud cry escaped from the monster and its tried to recoil in vain, as its own claws were stuck with the blades, and were jammed with the Ship. The Sea Serpent moved its head rapidly and dug itself inside the water. It swam underwater pulling Anagha with it. Slowly, but steadily the blades won over the hard skin of Kundalani, and soon the ship was liberated from the serpent's clutch when several cut pieces of Kundalini's body floated over the sea.
Admist the rejoice of the crew, Kochadaiiyaan calmly stood examining the surrounding, he was not satisfied with the silence of the sea. All of a sudden, a leaping Kundalini landed on the Ship's deck, taking everyone by suprise. It just had few meters of its body still attached to is head. The tailess end was a rug of torn flesh from which blood was fountaining out. With its tiny sweeps, the floor of the deck turned red. Kochadaiiyaan looked at the state of the Leviathan, its losing blood faster. If they hold it for some more time, the monster will break down on its own.
Surrounded by the Magnificient 7, Kundalini was on her last fight for death. She was aggressive and tried to attack all sides. The warriors dodged her attack, as a single scratch from her skin-claws was death. Kochadaiiyaan was in front of Kundalini and held Arha firmly. When she turned and let her tongue out, he sliced it off. The serpent skid in pain and hit the walls of the deck. It crawled back and turned to attack Kochadaiiyaan, when he moved to his left where Vrikoda was ready with his cupped hands. Kochadaiiyaan landed on his palms. Vrikoda pushed him high up in the air, and on the passage Yudhi threw is 4 bladed axe which their Master caught mid air and spin-pushed himself to land on top of the head of Kundalini. With one strong blow, he enters the blades of Yudhi's Axe into the center of its head. The monster serpent let out an agony cry and started to shake its head violently, and on its top Kochadaiiyaan, griping the Axe, stood still. Kochadaiiyaan decided to end the pain of the being, and he jumped high up and landed over the snake's head on one leg, with his arms outstreched and the other leg coupling him from behind. The landing was so forceful that his hair seperated, to which the sea breeze blew with accordence. The Stand was such powerful to watch that the onlooker fell to their knees, when slowly Kochadaiiyaan descended down with dead Kundalini. The head fell flat, seperating the 2 gigantic teeth.
Shama approached Kochadaiiyaan, who still maintained the same position, and poked him gently. He vigorously turned at her direction with his hair flowing behind him and his eyes blazing red. He slowly landed his other leg on the deck, and allowed himself to be guided by Shama. The 5 Warriors, with dropped down faces, looked at their Saint been taken away by Shama into the Dungeons of Anagha.

Act 1 - Chillum
Deva asked Shama what she saw, she replied 'Goat'.
Immediately she sobbed, managing to let Deva know that presently the event takes longer and their Master gets tired more than before. She registered her worry for him, and asked Deva to convince thier Saint to stop. They cannot continue in such manner knowing that much more worst things can happen. Deva put his hands on her shoulder and consoled her saying - 'Words don't exisit to convince a Man who knows his destiny'.
Far from them on a rock, a fragile form was sitted. It was covered with a blue cloth and its head hung down as though there was no more strength left. The sun shined brightly as though to give the sitting soul some energy. Horse steps made the 6 warroirs become vigilant. They secured their perimeter around Kochadaiiyaan who sat draped in blue. He saw at the direction of the foot noise without lifting his head. His eyes were sunk, below each, a dark pouch hung. He looked aged.
Fakir got down from the horse and kneeled on the sands before Kochadaiiyaan. He introduced himself as an island dweller whose land was annexed with the Kingdom of Katrupuzha by the Messenger, saving them from foreign occupation. These dwellers initially did not belong to any kingdom and had immigrated due to religious wars in thier motherlands. The Inthamaan island was a natural beauty, where the deers roamed without fear. It has the biggest cotton plantation in the entire 5 pieces of big lands. Thus, it attracted many foreign invaders, who seemed to have developed a new form of authority called Colony. When Inthamaan was annexed with Katrupuzha, the invasions stopped, none wished to meddle with King Sorubhan.
Fakir expressed his anguish. In the middle of Indhamaan Islands lies the Majantha Caves - a painting galore. It is a stretch of 3 tunneled caves (numbered Jakartha 1-3) sharing one enterance. Their walls were covered with hand drawing of various erotic nature, where the potraits were realistic. But lately many men have left their lives in and around the cave. It all started gradually and the numbers have started to increase massively. People were scared and were spreading rumours about seeing ghosts. Most want to beleive such stories and the land trade route was completely blocked.
Yudhi asked Fakir the origins of the rumours. There were men who survived, said Fakir. They heard sweet songs or a voice calling for them. When they tried reach the source, they met with a Pretty Perfect Lady, inviting them with open arms. She was naked and her long hair covered over her body - some say it was red, others blonde, the rest concluded it to be pitch black. As soon as the Lady touched the survived victim, she held a smile in her face and disappear into the dark. Eventually, the escaped men came back to the village, narrated their feary tale.
Pandu asked about the others who died. Fakir replied that all their end were identic - castrated and thier private part placed inside their folded right palm.
'Chudail', the Saviour said. He got up pressig down his knees and started to walk slowly towards the sea.
They halted there that night. The visitors slept around the campfire. Fakir opened his sleepy eyes disturbed by soft foot steps on the sand. Everything seemed to be a flicker image to Fakir. He saw a Man, half-naked - only his manhood was covered, walking on the sand, followed by fully armed warriors. His body was totally covered with something white, even his loosely let down hair waw painted white. The Mysterious Man stopped and took out a sort of a tiny wodden keg. On the other hand he held a small cone like object. He seemed to be stuffing it that seemed darker than the night and the action resembled as though pushing a something soft hardly. At a distance, he jumped on a a rock and took a squating position. He then made a sort of a curve with his 2 hands and placed the cone inbetween. One of the warrior with a slasher whip lighted the tip of the cone. The Mystical Man took the cone to his lips. With his last 2 fingers of his hand, he closed each nostrils and sucked the cone deeply. Smoke changed the surrounding around him to grey. His eyes were closed, seen through the burning torch carried by the a warroir with big blades. Suddenly the Squating Man opened his eye, they were exploded with blood vessels. Each cracked lines were redder than the other. The flame from the torch flickered. The Man then closed his eyes and his body stayed to sway. Fakir closed his eyes.
In the mid of the night, Fakir woke up again as though he had a bizzare dream. He looked to the far end, and saw 6 people standing circularly. Their pose was similar to a gaurdence. In the middle there was someone sitted and moving at the same time. Fakir neared them, when Jishan tightened the Bowline. Fakir halted. He asked them about what was going on. Yuhir moved his eyes towards Shama. He closed and opened it, signaling her to stand at ease. She lowered her Sai and walked towards Fakir. The remaining 5 quickly re-arranged themselves to fill the gap born through the absence of Shama.
At the campfire Shama spoke to the visitors about Sittha Records.

Chapter 1 - The Adventures of Kochadaiiyaan
Episode 2 - Horrible Lands
Ghosts from the Painting
Act 2 - The Celestial Temple
Many believe that Siddhar's travel through time. The reality is they are beyond any timeline. The Noble Men walk through the past, present and the future accounting all the events of various worlds. They neither create nor maintain nor destroy life forms. They only register their cycle. Their records contain Life, existence, death & rebirth. They account in the souls from different worlds and the vessels (bodies) it had taken each time and the places (worlds) it has dwelled. They detailed each element with respect to any life or lifeless forms.
Accessing the Sittha Records is not an easy task. Many not even know its existence, leave alone its whereabouts. As the Siddhar's are not from a single world, the records are collected in a common Celestial Temple called Mandali, which is a circular Library that has no start or end point. Reaching it is as dificult as finding what one seeks in its Record Room, firstly one has to find its eterance, and finally its exit. On the path to the Library, souls searching for vessels wait in the dark to highjack the body of the traveller during his absence, thus the traveller could risk becoming the Lost Souls of Mandali. Several elightened ones have tired to gain access to Temple Library, but only very few have returned.
The Mandali Bibliotheque holds several record rooms. It is a celestial floating building with no gaurds - Why gaurding, when its ones own soul that is in danger during the search. To access each record room in the Sittha Library, special measures and methods should be taken and followed. Everything is not dumped, but arranged in a coded order, and in order to reach them, one had to first travel through its Dark Path. It is here ones own fears and self-made evils work hand in hand, that horrible things may happen to the traveller, primarily failing to distinguish reality and thus getting lost in eternal space - a kind of path where one finds his own doom. Once the path is crossed, all it takes is to reach the Light at the far end, beyond which is the Circular Library.
The Library is divided into various chambers which holds the records of Angels, Demons and the Unknown. All records are written in only one language, the Language of the Creator. Decoding depends on the strengths of the traveller, primarily he should know what he is seeking which permits him to open the right Door. Being specific is the quickest way in & out.
Kochadaiiyaan uses several meditation and yogic tantras to travel through the Dark Path. He gets into the record room, searches and extracts the information he seeks. The Sittha Records just depict a description of the various forms of existence and not solutions. On the way back, the Travelling Saint gets enlightened. When he reaches his vessel again, he already knew what should be done, but the action decided by fate can turn the end either way, which are governed by Karma - the rules of Destiny.
This time, the Messenger has travelled to the Darkest Side of the Library to access Born Evil records. So, he had prepared his soul for the journey. During Meditation Stance - Shama gave few names which failed to enter Fakir's ears - Kochadaiiyaan builds a sort of a Virtual Bridge, on which he moves back and forth. To enter the Darkest Side, he takes the Chillum method, a sort of immunity towards Darkness. But upon entering, the soul soon gets terrified that it rushes back in search of its vessel. When it re-enters its proper world filled with memories, it tries to take the first free vessel. So, Kochadaiiyaan sways his body which stays that way, and distracts the arriving soul, indicating to it the entry point. Risk is always present - if 2 or many souls try to grab the same vessel. It all depends on the relationship with the soul and its body. Kochadaiiyaan trains both through his daily good practices.
A drop of tear escaped her eyes. Shama announced to Fakir that she wishes he comes back safely. Behind fakir the morning sun started to glow. He looked saddened after listening to the tale of a Man who pledged his soul to save the humanity. But few questions were loitering in his materialistic mind. He wondered at Shama as to why the Siddhar's did not put the solution too, as they have seen the future. The sun glow from behind was covered by a shadow. Fakir in his sitting position turned to look at the source of the sudden darkness. He saw a Man standing and his huge form covered the entire sun. He had his hair tied up to a Knot over the top of his head, well lined with his facial hair. He was bare chested and well build. His blue satin cloth bottoms were wispering in the wind. The voice replied to Fakir : 'God shows the light, its our duty to find The Path.'
Saying so Kochadaiiyan moved away. Seeing her Father walking fit, Shama wiped her tears when Fakir asked her his second question, as to whether Kochadaiiyaan knows his own destiny. She replied 'Yes', to which he asked a third one whether he knows his death too. She asserted it to him with another 'Yes', but this time he waited for an explantion. Shama told Fakir that the Wise Master knew that he will be beheaded. But Fakir was so confused. If a Man knew so much, why does he not do something about it. She clamly told him that its the 'Cycle of Life'. The one who knows himself, knows everything. The 2 points - Life and Death - are nothing but the entry and the exit of souls. Between these 2 points, one has to draw their own line. Finally he asked her, admist all these adventures and knowing himself too, was not Kochadaiiyaan bored of this life. She stood up and left making him wondering with her reply - "But He is still looking for a purpose !".
At the other end of the sea shore, Kochadaiiyaan stood alone thinking. Shama disturbed his thought. He turned and informed her that, after looking through the Born Evil records, he has decided to get married. Shama was stuck with suprise at the same time saddened, infering that her Master's days are fast ending as he has found The Purpose of his own Birth.

Act 3 - Talking Tree of Life
http://www.mayyam.com/talk/attachmen...3&d=1438246550
Under the dark blanket of the sky, Kochadaiiyaan stood in front of the listening group. Hearing to the arrival of the Saint to Inthamaan Island, the dwellers came to have a glimpse of the Hunter from the Sea. He was surrounded by the Alwars. Behind him, the 6 warriors took position. The Teacher started explaining to crowd the forms of life and the reason for their existence. He went through the chapters of Immortality and Karma. He listed the 8 Immortals, called the Chiranjeevis - Markandeya, Bali, Hanuman, Kripacharya, Parashuramar, Vibhishana, Vyasar & Ashwasthama. He then spoke about the Universe and its role in creating alternate worlds that never collided with eachother - Urdhva Lokha (Higher World), Madhya Lokha (Middle World) & Adho Lokha (Lower World). The reality in one world is a dream to another; The evil in One world is the Ruler of another; A mortal in one world is an immortal in the other. But for some reason he stopped with the 3 worlds, regarding the comprehension of his audience.
Kochadaiiyaan started to extend his preachings by introducing Evolution. When the traffic of souls (addressed as 'Nafs' by the Messenger) increase, the Universe is designed to set up a conventor to balance the requirements. When the balance is not sustained, creation or demolition, respectively, is the only option. The living form is a rented body inside which the soul lights up the Path to Mortality. The journey is decided through the results from the chosen options of the Mind, the Body and the Soul. New nafs are yielded by the Tree of Souls from the Creator's Kingdom. And for the balance, they are taken and distributed within the worlds.
When a soul dwells inside a body, it leaves marks of its existence called the Memories. When the vessel comes to its expiration state, the soul also jumps to another state called the Ammara and circles around the Cycle of the Universe. Accroding to its experience obtained via the living life form - rational or non-rational - it is chosen to take any other form, be it of an Human or an Animal.
During the state of Ammara, the soul is at its purified form and is very vulnerable to Evil. It is completely immesered in its memories. If the soul is not strong enough, its sins take pocession and deviate them from their Right Path. Thus, making them try to make illegal entries inside other restricted worlds. It then gets an idea to become Immortal and strives to stike the marks left by the 8 Chiranjeevis. These cunning souls lay in the Dark Paths and capture the weakest vessel and establish an absence of Faith in its newly entered world. Some depressed souls seek revenge, others just pleasure. The Universe created alternate methods to police the Lost Souls. But with more laws to Govern, more new methods are also taken by the Evil. One such horrible thing has happened in our Cursed Lands.
Chudails are bigger Evils whose souls are artificial and inserted to take the principle living form of the respective world. In other worlds they have different names like Medusa - the Lady with Snakes as her Hair. Basically, they are not born to 2 life forms inhabited by pure souls with a purpose of reproduction, but Chuails are not born but created by only one. When inside the vessel they are normal, but when the vessel is damaged with desire and engulfed with Lost Hopes, they get into their real form - A Birth by a Curse. The existence of these Sirens in Inthamaan disturbs the balance. It was caused because someone disturbed their initial state and ended their ability while producing another life form. So, there are so many conditions for a Chudails to raise, and here in Inthamaan every condition seemed to allign perfectly, and someone has done something really ugly at the Magantha Cave.
The Messenger looked at the crowd. He watched at the scared and depressed population. Then, He spoke to them the words of Movitation, He sung to them Courage, He lit up the light that chased the Evil and finally He showed them all the Route to Happiness.

Act 4 - The Wild Witches (The Origins of Sirens)
[Rated R]
http://www.mayyam.com/talk/attachmen...4&d=1438255602
Caves of Magantha were a sexual guild for the theives who called themselves The Keepers Clan. The band robbed every group of travellers and extended their Clan's motive by not even sparing the children and through amusing with women. Many Kings and Princes tried to stop them, but they just grew in numbers - a easy and exiting life was how they promoted themselves to the hopeless, who readily joined and unleashed their hatred on innocents.
Several years after, they were presided by a new chief Valliavan. Valliavan grew amoung sufferings and knew exactly pain. So, he brought a new order into the Keepers Clan - no child killing nor handling women without her consent. But to encourage the theives, he ordered the Majantha Caves to be decorated with painting of sexual nature so that the theives can amuse within its limit. Soon the cave became a erotic den for the theives who poured out their desires.
The Chief's son was not the same. Jr. Valliavan was a choas, and when he took over the Keepers Clan, the Chudails came to existence.
A queen came to hunt down the theives when the caravan of the Wild Witches was pulverized. These witches do not like men and keep away from them. They yeild a seed through black magic and it was always a baby girl. Druing a specific time of the year, they performed a ritual using Black Magic. The event lasted the whole night, where the witches, dressed in black and red cloaks, danced around a cooking pot chanting demonic verses. Outside the circle, several other witches were moving their hands over a chosen sister, all the while chanting demonic verses also. At a prime time, the Queen witch brought the cooking pot and fed its content to the chosen sister, whose eyes truned completely black after sucking in the demonic potion. Few months after the chosen sister gave birth to a baby girl. These girls grew up normaly. Some even fell in love and got married to strangers from the lands, but eventually they returned back to the witches den as everytime a mishappen breaks their heart. Slowly they leave behind the exisiting world, and start to practise the Ritual of the Wild Witches to keep thier Sisterhood alive. The queen is chosen amoung these girls according to day and time she was born. Presently they were guided by a Queen as pretty as the pearls and as fierce as the tigress.
Jr. Valliavan caught the witch queen, kept 2 other pretty women and killed the rest her pretty little army. He went ahead and found the Wild Witches Den and slayed them all without mercy. These 3 gorgeous women were tied inside the cave and the theives visited them in numbers every single night. 2 sisters became pregnant, and that night their queen escaped by cutting the rope with the metal button that she stole from a 'thief in action'. When she reached her sisters, admist the snorings, one was almost at the point of delivering a child. She gave birth to a still-born and did not live to see it either. Seeing the horror, the other pleaded to the queen to kill her, as she could not take it anymore. The warrior queen walked away with rage after slitting the throat of her sister. She searched the woods looking for Jr. Valliavan, and found him sleeping inside a tent. She creeped in silently, and took out the cutting knife to push it through his heart, but unfortunately the gaurding theives encirlced her before she could have her revenge. Horrible things were done to her. Her agony echoed through the dense landscape. And at a point, her body could not take anymore. When she was thrown to the beasts of the jungle, she was pregnant too.
The thieves were moving around the woods at night. One of them heard a sweet voice calling for him. The other heard a woman sobbing, and another one felt a tender touch at the back of his neck. The next morning all three were found dead, casterated holding their private parts in their closed palms. Slowly, but in swiftly The Keepers Clan became dust where all the theives met with similar death, including Jr. Valliavan.
Kochadaiiyaan walked the stairs leading to the row platform in Anagha. He sliently crept past its wide lighted floor without making any crank noise and reached its tail end. On the wall there was an unlit lamp hanging. He turned it upside down and a small cellar opened at the bottom of his legs. He glided through its tiny stairs and stood before the 2 doors of the Dungeon of Anaga. One had a peep hole while the other was plain. Both were fortified as though something invaluale was stocked inside. Kochadaiiyaan peeped through the hole. A liquid of fear glided through his forehead. The room was completely empty. On its floor there was a wooden bed and at its sides there were several chains with ankles. Opposite to the door was an oval window, through which the moonlight shined timidly.
He moved away from the first door and placed his palm, spreading all the 5 fingers, over the second door. It cracked open. At the center of the room, there was a huge chest. He opened the chest which lifted 2 compartments, one to either side. He removed the one from the right and after a brief verification, he took out 3 small identical pouches. All three were decorated with golden threads and they differed only at their closed mouth, as the color of the rope that sealed the pouch were different - Blue, Orange & Yellow. He walked to the table and stuffed few things inside a leather shoulder sack and then placed the pouches inside. There a slight moment inside the bags when they were handled by him. Taking the bag, he left as quitely as he had come. Behind him the Treature Room's door closed automatically.

At the mouth of the Cave Majantha, Kochadaiiyaan handed over Arha to Vrikoda. He instructed him to chop anything thing that came from inside the cave. He took a serious tone and ordered him to rest behind the line that he had drawn at the cave's enterance. The Saint turned to Yudhir & Putra and asked them to tie their eyes with a black cloth trapping thier ears within. With his third finger of his left hand, Kochadaaiyaan signed mystical letters over the colth that touched the 4 parts - 2 eyes & 2 ears. Everything went dark and the 2 warriors stood were immersed in total silence.
The Master then took away Deva's Whip and handed it to Shama. He told that she will not be able to see the Chudails or any other event as they are only experienced by men. In a careful tone he told her to act immediately to whatever he should say, without thinking and irrespective to whatever the reality maybe. He then took the Sai from here and inserted it in the hips of Yudir, to which he was motionless. He handed her a shoulder bag and asked her never to open it. He turned to Fukhir and instructed him to leave with his men. Once the outside was cleared, Kochadaiiyaan walked inside the Cave with Shama and Deva leaving Vrikoda and the 2 blind-folded at the Cave's Enterance.
The Visibilty inside the cave was suprisingly good, the moonlight dropped through the holes in the wall. They were on Jakartha Cave 1. Examining close, the holes were the eyes of the skulls arranged on the walls. It looked as though 2 white eyes on a dark skull. They arrived at the junction where the cave seperated into 2. Shama holding the torch light looked at the 2 men walking into each side.
Kochadaiiyaan went a bit futher, when everthing became suddenly dark. He heard a sobbing noise and walked towards it. Beside a tiny well, a weeping little girl with a bright face was sitting under a wet ceiling which leaked water. It smelt damp in the dark closed cave hall which held different kinds of colorful paining on its wall & ceilings. He approached the little girl and kneeled close to her. She resembled a lot the child of the priest he couldn't save. Suddenly the little girl spoke, but with a demonic voice abusing him for letting her burn. Kochadaiiyan feel back on the ground, which was sticky. He lifted one hand and examined the thick liquid. A drop fell from the ceiling on his forehead. Without heistating, he pulled out Inesh and aimed at the ceiling. Nothing. He looked at the corners. Nothing. He lowered it before him where the little girl was crying. Nothing. He turned. A scream pushed him to the walls where he hung without any support and Inesh fell far from his reach. Before him was a flithy naked form with red long hair and Kochadaiiyan became motionless - caught in the Screams of the Siren.
Shama did not hear a single noise. She waited at the junction. After a while she started examining the Painting on the wall.
Outside, Vrikoda saw his wife in see thru clothes calling out for him from the Cave's Enterance. He heard her sweetly asking him to step inside and its been a while they have been together. Listening to her last line, inviting him to see heaven, Vrikoda droped Arha and walked towards her. The other 2 stood motionless lost in the silence.
At the 3rd cave, Deva examined the painting. They all were lively. He stood before one which had bats covering the ceiling and beneath it a couple were in a lewd position. He looked away from the painting and examined the ceiling of the cave, the place in the painting was identic ,except, bats did not nest above him. The next painting was quite salacious. It showed the face of a stanidng beauty and her body was covered with a dark man's body. The eyes were looking at Deva and it had the juice of erotism ozzing from it. Deva could not take his eyes from the beauty until he was disturbed by a sweet voice. He turned and saw the most stunning blonde woman. She took him in her arms and kissed him. Deva stood speechless, as he did not want to think anything else but just pray for that wonderful moment to last forever. But it did not last long. Everything retunred to normal. Deva found himself all alone, standing before the 1st painting, but the bats were missing.
Shama was looking at an obscene painting. 2 women sat over a man - one on the face and one over his pelvic area. She felt disgusted and turned away. But something in
the painting lured her vision back. The Man. Niether his face nor his body was visible, only his legs. On left leg the man from the painting wore a similar anklet. Shama, without wasting any time, turned and rushed into the path taken by Kochadaiyaan.
Vrikoda met his wife at the enterance of the cave and she asked him to step in.
Another demon woman, dressed in white, entered through the space beside the well where Kochadaiiyaan was held captive by the scream. The new member had free flowing long blone hair. She moved her head towards the screamer, and her sister stopped making noise. But Kochadaiiyaan did not fall on the ground. Instead he glided through the wall and entered the flat ceiling. The blonde and the red Sirens slowly crawled over the opposite walls respectively. Their eyes were changing colour constantly and they were putting out thier serpent tongue between their sharp tiny teeth. They took their time to apprach Kochadaiiyaan. Upon reaching their prey, they cricled him. Then, the blonde one sat over his face suffucating him, and the red Siren took over his pelvic area and started to aggitate, so that his heart would request more air, and eventually, the heart will explode if it does get the demanded oxygen.
The wife after signaling to her husband, turned to show her back to him. And thats when Vrikoda cracked the neck of his wife. She feel face down and in the motion turned into bats and entered the cave with a cry. He quickly ran to get Arha, when he heard Kochadaiiyaan calling out for him.
Deva turned around when a cool breeze hit his back. When he returned his vision over the painting, the bats have re-appeared. He followed the path and met with a dead end. On its ceiling there was hook. and at one corner, there was a tub in which a pretty girl was lying with her black hair flowing out of the tub. He apprached the bathing beauty and started to rub her sholders. She got up exposing her naked chest and bent down to whisper in his ears. Suddenly Deva started to hear demonic voices asking him to hang himself. Getting caught in the rythmic chants, Deva could not calmed down but fell on his knees closing both his ears eyes. He opened his eyes which have turned to complete white. Removing his hands from the ears, he got up and looked at the hook on the ceiling. He searched around his hip for the whip, but it was missing. Recollecting that Kochadaiiyaan gave it to Shama, he rushed to the junction to collect it from her.
Shama reached the end of the path that Kochadaiiyaan had taken. She saw him siting beside a well. She approached him and caught his shoulders. His body was boiling hot. She could hear him mumbling something, but she could not make out what it was.
Kochadaiiyaan was suffacating. Lying upside down on the floors of the Cave's ceiling, he knew he had less time. At that moment as he could feel his heart touching his ribs, he saw an Angel walking in through the gaps of the blonde Siren hair. He shouted : Push me inside the Well.
Vrikoda turned, and Kochadaiiyaan was not at the enterance. He heard only his voice. He deceided to check by nearing the safety line. Gripping Arha, he moved forward.
At the junction Deva could not find Shama. He rushed to the other Cave. When he reached, he saw her bent over something. His whip was hanging around her hip. He let out an angry cry and ran towards Shama, at the very instance Shama pushed Kochadaiiyaan into the well.
Kochadaiiyaan's lungs were filled with water than oxygen. He had to think and act rapidly. He had to put the end to the Siren's Mind Games. He leaped up and gasped as much air as possible. The Sirens on top of him have released him. They were scared of the well water. He looked up and the mouth of the well was very far. He dived into the water and could see some light. Wishing that it could be an opening, he swam under water. The opening led to a partially closed manhole near to the enterance of the Cave.
When Vrikoda neared the line, he saw Kochadaiiyan, soaked wet, coming out. He was glad to see his master safe. His Master walked casually stood before him. He ordered Vrikoda to follow him, as Deva and Shama are in danger surrounded by the 3 Sirens Sisters. Vrikoda looked down, and lifted his head with an evil smile. Without hesitation Vrikoda beheaded Kochadaiiyaan with Arha. The head rolled and came to a stop.

Episode 2 - Horrible Lands
Ghosts from the Painting
Act 6 - Sands of the 3 Seas
Deva ran screaming towards Shama. The voices inside his head was making his mad. Inititaly it was only one, now he heard three. He attacked Shama with force. Shama could not comprehend what was happening. Deva was now on top of her trying to reach for her throat. Without any option, she reached for her Sai, but they were missing, taken away by her Master before they entered the Majantha Cave. Thinking about her pathetic state, and no Master to give her guidence, she struggled hard but eventually lost to the force of Deva which encouraged by the Singing Siren Sisters inside his head. Deva got hold of her throat and strangled her. Shama struggled, and the devilish eyes of Deva, which were Blue now, enjoyed every moment of her agony.
Kochadaaiyaan hurriedly reached the Cave junction. He rushed inside the path he had initially taken. He expected all of them to be in there somewhere. No time. He ran. He stopped when he saw Deva on top of Shama. She was struggling and at the same time trying to reach for something. In her lost vision, she craved on her hands to find something to defend herself, when her crawling fingers found something which resembled a strap. She hurriedly pulled it towards her, hoping to defend herself with the sack handed to her by the Saint. When the sack was close, an unknown force pulled it away from her. Losing all hopes, she closed her eyes, tears of pain flowed over both her temples. Upon her Deva was shaking her neck vigorously.
Outside, Vrikoda was weeping. He had just choped the Head of his Captain. A huge man weeping. The headless body was motionless behind the lines. It remained there, but he did not wish to cross the line to approach it. He simply sat and cried.
Kochadaaiyaan rushed towards the battling couple. On the ground, beside them, he found the sack he was looking for. It was being pulled by Shama's thin fingers. He immediately grabbed the bag and moved to the center of the cave. It seemed as though he did not pay attention to the deadly quarrel of the pair. From the sack he took the 3 pouches and placed it before him. The tiny bags were jumping. He then took 3 bottles and placed it on the floor. He removed the corks which had 3 different emblems printed on them - Trident, Spear & Bow (an arrow attached to the bowline) - and placed the corks beside each bottle. He opened the bag with Yellow rope. He poured its content around the placed bottle. The yellow sand crystals were making tiny summersaults. Then he opened the pouch with the Blue rope and continued from where the Yellow Sands were jumping. Finally, he completed the Circle of Sands by pouring the particles from the 3 Orange pouch.
The 5 Kingdom lands were seperated by 5 seas. They served as the principle trade routes to reach each corner of Lands including the Central one which was a huge island of Forest. The sailors reached the solid grounds and the tiny floating dry lands around by travelling through these rough sea. Their naval experience gave names to the sea with respect to Mother's Naure. Sea of Ego was the roughest, crossing it weighed every single fleet. Sea of Anger always hit with stroms damaging anything floating. Sea of Depair was vast, an easy tutorial to get lost. Sea of Joy, was the fishermen's delight and sea weather was always bright. Sea of Tears, covered the far end which was less travelled. Its does not provide a trade route but prolonges itself into an Unknown sphere of falling waters that no one who crossed it had lived to talk about it.
At the south of the Central Lands, 3 seas met - Sea of Ego, Sea of Anger & Sea of Depair. Their waves battled with each other, that it created a immense whrilpool. But their roughness was subdued by the sands found at the bed of the meeting spot. Kochadaiiyaan had leaped directly into the whirlpool. He got caught in the strong waves before he sinked towards the bottom. It was dark and quite, and Kochadaiiyaan lungs started to suffer. From no where, tiny colorful fishes encircled him. They took turn to bite him in the nose, blowing oxygen through it. Regaining himslef, and encircled by the Rainbow Fishes, Kochadaiiyaan reached the sand floor at the bottom of the whirlpool. The floor was covered with colourful sands - Yellow, Blue & Orange. They formed a sort of symbol by coupling with eact other with an oval head and a thinner tail. Its exactly the Symbol that the Saint had seen in the Temple Library, a colorful diagram called Yin Yan Yen. The symbol was emiting something powerful, at the same time sucking in the reaction of emitted force. The Sands of the 3 Seas subdued the forces of all the Seas. He slowly collected sand particles of each colour and packed them inside pouches and closed their mouth with respective coloured roped, all the while the Light Fishes showing him the bed of the sea. He swam head up and with the help of the Oxygenating Fishes. He reached the other side of the waiting Anagha.
Before him, inside the Majantha Caves, was a TriColor Circle and inside its circumfrence were 3 standing bottles and their respective corks beside. The Color Sand Particles were jumping more vigorously now. And futher down the hall, the 3 Sirens have compeletely occupied the vessel of Deva. Unknowingly, they have entered into their weakness zone. The Chudails weakness is the presence of the 3 Sisters together. They operated alone, as their bonding weakens them and they start to moarn together repenting own their state. And they never torture or kill anyother woman. Looking at a perfect oppurtunity, they were using Deva to unleash their desire over Shama.
Perfect time. Kochadaiiyaan closed his eyes and prayed to his Father.
The Sand particles started to rise up. They circled around the bottles taking respective transperant forms - Blue Elephant, Orange Tiger and Yellow Rhino. While turning in cirlce, they fought with each other.

After completing 3 fighting rounds, they entered into Deva by piercing through his body.

Ghosts from the Painting
Act 7 - Origins of Mermaids
http://www.mayyam.com/talk/attachmen...2&d=1438598769
From within Deva, 3 transparent skull faced forms emerged. They looked at each other and slowly glided towards Kochadaiiyaan. As soon as they left Deva, he fell flat over motionless Shama near the well. The Skull Siren Sisters reached the Saint. Two took either side and the Queen stood face to face with him. Surrounded by Anger, Fear and Ego, the Master stood still, chanting the verses of his Father's name. The Chudails started to talk with Kochadaiiyaan in deformed voices - The Ego before him narrated to him his own tales of Glory and how superior he was amoung the pathetic humans, and proposed that together they can own the world ; The Fear, to his right, asked him to leave immediately and admist the fake tears it assured him about his hopeless suituations where the Sisters were in complete control ; The Anger, to his left, shouted at him, it yelled stating that anything he touched turned to ashes. Not giving neither his mind nor his ears to the repetitive verbal tortures of the Chudails, Kochadaiiyaan stood confident while arriving at the end of his prayer.
Uttering the last pharse, he opened his eyes which had bigger black eyeballs floating in the widest sea of white. With one shift action he thumped his right foot on the floor calling his Father's name. Even the strongest stone glued to the floor shattered making cracks on the ground. Shama & Deva rose and fell and the inertia also cause the water in the well to create waves that it jumped out of the well and hit the faces of the unconcious duo.
The Chudails let out a screaming cry. Scared they backed off and lingered over the top of the bottle. The Blue, Yellow and Orange forms held to each other and sobbed. Then, each entered into seperate bottles shouting their pain. Calmness was restored. Deva woke up with the sprinkle of water from the well. He saw the Chudails entering into the bottles and their Master with wide eyes holding his feet tight on the cracked floor. Slowly Kochadaiiyan moved towards the bottle, and closed each with their respective corks. Inside the colored Siren Sisters were dancing like waves.
Kochadaiiyaan placed the 3 bottles inside the sack, collected the pouches, and signalled Deva to carry Shama. Deva realised the presence of Shama beside him. He put up a 'what had happened to her' face. He gently tapped her face, but she did not respond. Carrying her, he followed the Pathfinder. While walking, Deva noticed that the painting on the walls have aged. None were complete or lively, but disorted - just like a debris reminding that the walls were decorated with drawings. The foul smells were gone too. He silently followed his Master.
At the junction, Kochadaiiyan did not take the path to the enterance, but deviated and took a narrow lightless lane, guiding Deva with his torch light. Soon they reached a wall with a crack on it. He asked deva to place Shama down and help him widen the crack. In no time the crack opened, and all 3 went out of the Caves of Majantha.
From behind the bushes they reached the other side of the enterance to the cave. When they came to the clear ground, they saw Yudhi and Pandu standing motionless, while Vrikoda was weeping at nothing. Kochadaiiyaan walked to him and Vrikoda saw his Master's blurry vision. He hugged him without saying one single word. Kochadaiiyaan released the other 2 from the 'magic silence', when Jishan gaurding the islanders walked in. The Magnificient 7 walked towards the village without discussing what happened inside or outside the Cave.
After the farewell, and while Kochadaiiyaan was boarding Anagha, Fakir seeing the Captain alone, asked him his last question - Coming from a different religion, speaking a different language, practicing another faith, why did Kochadaiiyaan readily help Fakir and lectured them many inspiring matters. The Saint smiled and replied to him by holding his shoulders - Universe is God. Religons are just platforms. Languages are nothing but mistranslations. And no faith is higher than that one keeps upon his own Self. Under the Tree of Souls, we all are brother born to the same Mother Nature. Then, looking at the clear sky, he uttered a pharse which was incomprehensible to Fakir - 'Praritranaya Sadhunam Vinashaya Cha Dushkritam Dharamasansthapnaya Sambhavami Yuge Yuge'. Before boarding, he assured Fakir to consider himself as the chosen one to spread the word that 'For the protection of the good and for the destruction of the wicked and for the establishment of righteousness, One will come in every age'. Fakir fell to his knees all the while looking at the sailing Anagha towards the horizon.
The Night Breeze was cool. Shama and Kochadaiiyaan were sitted on the deck of Anagha which was anchored somewhere in the middle of the Sea of Tears, a location decided by the Captain. Shama waited for an explantion, and Kochadaiyaan placed the 3 bottles before them. Each held inside itself a coloured substance hitting the walls. He threw them into the sea and informed Shama that the Chudail form is over, and when this state is disturbed, they will rise again as the Mermaids.
Kochadaiiyaan did not tell Shama everything that happened inside the Cave, particularly not a word on the murder attempt. Looking at her confused face, he wanted to merit her with atleast one reply as to how Deva was not killed by the Sirens, but became a vessel for the Sisters. He asked her to keep a secret that Deva was an illegimate child.

[Famous mosaic emblem of 'Theseus and the Minotaur' which is set inside a labyrinth decorating one of the rooms in the House of Pompeii (79 AD).]
Act 1 (Part 1/2) - Meeting the Taker
Anagha was anchored at Kalingapuri Harbour. Kochadaiiyaan and his warriors walked past the sea shore shops. They watched the street circus and greeted the vendors. They enjoyed the merry around the living folks and decided to celebrate the Joy of Humanity. While they were having their sweet syrups inside the Sea Side bar, large foot steps echoed outside. Soon, three soldiers, the one who headed them must be their Reporting Officier, entered the bar and greeted Kochadaiiyaan. The General informed him that the King would be pleased of his presence at the Palace. The Saint casually refused the inivitations saying that he is just an humble visitor to the Kingdom and not a guest to the King. Immediately as though the General knew exactly what the reply he would get, he started talking about a Fort at the eastern end of Kalingapuri.
The Fort of Kathipara was build on top of the mountain Vanvayil. The moutain was the tallest in the 5 kingdoms and from the bottom it looks like it was touching the sky. Several centuries back, this mountain served as a strategic point to monitor the sea. Fort Kathipara was built to camp permanant soliders inside and any threat coming from the sea was neutralised before it reached the land. And there was only one route up and down the mountain Vanvayil, which remained as a point of advantage. Since all affairs are been handled via international trade routes at present, peace was established and the pirates were at the mercy of Imperial Sentry Ships which secured the trade routes, thus, the fort was deserted. Until recently. For several months now, there were activities reported in and around the fort. The tribals heard annonying noises during the night. Lately, cattles went missing as well as they greens around the Fort had faded and nothing seems to be growing there since the mysterious activities inside the fort. Several stocks from villages around were disappearing, and in Kalingapuri there is no such Thief Clan who could run such an activity over night.
The Official added that a set of army soldiers were sent, and none returned. Now-a-days there is a glow seen inside the Fort at night too. He asked Kochadaiiyaan to investigate. The Master sat silent for a while. None around him spoke either. He then asked for the map of the Kingdom. Jishan handed the Map of Kalingapuri to him, and the General was suprised to see such a detailed map. The Hunter from the Sea, then asked for the entire world map containing all the 5 Kingdoms and its seas. He examined the map. Gradually he inverted the map of Kalingapuri and placed it over the world map exactly where the Kingdom was suituated on it. He glanced at the symetry for a long time. He folded the maps and handed them to Jishan. He asked the General whether there was a place to monitor the fort. Apparently, there was a tribe still living close to Fort Kathipara.
That evening, the Magnificient 7 reached the tribal village with the General and his men. Seeing the Myth in real, the tribal people offered their love to the Legend. They talked about the horrors from the Fort to Kochadaiiyaan. One aged woman from the tribe got the attention of the Master. The blind lady spoke about bulls roaming around the cliff, for which the other citizens of Vanvayil rejected saying none saw any bull around and the lady is dreaming her age. Kochadaiiyaan calmly approached her and she corrected her version only to him. She simple said - 'I hear'.
Around midnight, Kochadaiiyaan and team left to spy on the fort. From where they were, they saw shadows over the broken ceiling walls. Kochadaiiyaan moved a bit closer and took out his telescope and zoomed it around the flickering shadows. He did not move. Then, he silently walked back to his horse Nayak. He took out his compass, and pointed it towards the fort. The needle spun and came to a rest showing him the opposite direction. Without a word, he rode down the path following the compass needle.
The General was surprised. He turned to look at the warriors, who didn't seem to look like normal people to him. They were starting to settle down - the short one was already flat on the floor and the others were preparing to camp. He approached them with his questions, to which each took turns to clear it for the General of Kalingapuri.

Chapter 1 - The Adventures of Kochadaiiyaan
Episode 2 - Horrible Lands
Guardians at the Gate
Act 1 (Part 2/2) - Meeting the Taker
Kochadaiiyaan had 7 precious items on him all the time :
Jishan
- Inesh : The Bow that pireced the Sky - The Hands of Protection.
Nuriel, an angel, gifted Kochadaiiyaan with Ingesh when he found her fallen feather. Angels are not happy fairies. They are the sorrow from the Light Side. Their fallen feather spreads agony and chaos, in Nuriel's case it hails stroms. During the Golden Age, when the Gods roamed all the Worlds, Vishwakarma, the God's Armorer made 3 bows - Sharanga & Pinaka to Kill the demon Tripurasura and the third one Inesh as a model to Sharanga & Pinaka. Nature Period Cycle changed and the Gods were restricted to roam over worlds, thus they got their goodwill done through their descendants named Demi-Gods : Half Humans with mythical powers bestowed by their Father. The angels gaurded the 3 bows, and when Nuriel saw Kochadaiiyaan bringing the gliterring feather, she handed over to him the mystical bow understanging that only a Demi-God can vision the Angel's Feather. Inesh hangs on his shoulders.
Inesh - The Symbol of Authority and Power.
Vrikoda
- Arha : The Blade that tore the earth - The Rock of the Virgins.
At the Rock of the Virgins, Kochadaiiyaan battled to save their Principality by fighting the seven headed serpent. When he was within the grip of the snake, still five of its heads sticking to its body, his warrior sword slipped and fell down. Without a weapon, he wrestled the viper's attacks, when a Lonely Virgin Vehuel mounted up the monterous snake to hand him Arha, the sword that was stuck to the Virgin Rock core and which was beleived to be fallen from the Devine World during the Battle of the Invasion (Gods vs Demons). The force from the fall stuck it straight into the Rock of the Virgins. When Kochadaiiyaan was traped in the spinning clutches of the demon snake, Vehuel noticed a glow around Arha, and she lifted it liberating Arha from the rigid block of massive stone - Arha was free for the first time in several thousand years. She climbed the monstrous snake using its spins as steps and handed Arha to Kochadaiiyaan. With Arha, the Warrior chopped all the serpent's heads and descended down by piercing the viper's body with Arha and tearing its fleash all the way down, girping firmly Arha with one hand and the Virgin with the other. Kochadaiiyaan carries Arha in his shoulder sword holster.
Arha - The Symbol of Just and Good.
Yudhi
- Mala : The 108 Beads stringed together - Wisdom of the Ancient Sage.
Several times Kochadaiiyaan dived to the bottom of the sea. One set of count for sure was 101 times. The places were of his choice and sometimes he was quick to float back, some times it would take a whole afternoon. It was still a wonder how the Master could breathe inside the water for such a long time. Behind several falls, six to be precise, the crew found hidden land. The Saint would go alone and return back with single colorful stone each time. It took several years to assemble and safegaurd the 107 beads at the Anagha's Dungeon Treasure Room. The Head Stone called Japa was gifted to him by an Ancient Sage at the Celestial Temple. Together the 108 beads surrounded the Master, as well as his entourage with positive energy. The Japa Mala hung around his neck project the various colours of nature and reflecting the shines of togetherness.
Mala - The Symbol of Masculine & Feminine.
Pandu
- Europa : The lens which sees through time - At the End of the World.
The optics of the telescope was made with 2 sorts of diamonds - one acting as the mirror and the other as the lens. Anagha & its crew were the only one to have got past the Dead Sea and lived to say it. Kochadaiiyaan hunted for these 2 diamonds in the lands forgotten by time beyond the Dead Sea. The precious stones were cut using another special diamond which was studded onto the telescope itself. Once the telescope was finished, Kochadaiiyaan hid the rest of the pieces of the diamonds across several lands and sea as their energy and their firmness was beyond the control of any Human as these Precious stone have existed before the creation of the worlds pumping the needed energy for the worlds to survive. Kochadaiiyaan gaurded 3 tiny peices of each diamond in the Treasure Chest at Anagha. Through the telescope which uses the light of the source of Life from the diamonds, Kochadaiiyaan sees the various forms of life a soul had taken through its scope. Europa rests in his small pouch of his knife hostler.
Europa - The Symbol of Birth & Forms
Shama
- Hippios : The Trident of Submission - Quest for the Three Jewels.
Kochadaiiyaan clips his hair with a small golden Trident called the Hippios. The Hippios was secured behind a door which opens with 3 jewels hidden in three different worlds. Kochadaiiyaan collected the 3 jewels and used it on the door at the Labyrinth Cave - the cave had an enterance but no end - and opened the Door of Hippios. It stands as the account of past, present & future and guides his path in the Celstal Temple and indicates him which doors to be opened to access secret & forbidden records. Hippios stands generous on his Kondai proving the Knowledge of Existence.
Hippios - The symbol of Gift & Enlightenment
Deva
- Chakora : The compass that showed the destination - Nectar of the Moon.
The compass was offered to Kochadaiiyaan by the mystical bird Chakora which lives by dirinking moon light. Chakora, the mystical bird was wounded and lying on the ground. The Rogue Angels were circling above it. They were drawing the shine from Chakora to brighten themselves up. Through the mist and from nowhere, suddenly a Human jumped over the wounded bird, and in one full action of spins & twists & turns in the air above Chakora, the Warrior shot arrows at all the circling angels before dropping to the ground. A fraction of second after he had landed, a dozen of Rogue Angels fell around Kochadaiiyaan & Chakora. Chakora, the compass, is fixed as the buckle on his belt.
Chakora - The Symbol of Trust & Righteous Path
http://www.mayyam.com/talk/attachmen...3&d=1440147125
No one spoke about the 7th item.
The General of Kalingapuri looked startled hearing to the Mystical Objects that Kochadaiiyaan carried with him. He just turned towards the direction through which the Master had left on Nayak to Meet the Taker.

Chapter 1 - The Adventures of Kochadaiiyaan
Episode 2 - Horrible Lands
Guardians at the Gate
Act 2 - Conversation with The End
Kochadaiiyaan reached the Dead-End, the Dead-Line was now a fully grown tree and its ariel roots fell to the ground and created a massive structure. Over the top of a densely rooted treebed, an very aged man dressed in black was sitted. His hair was too long and its dreadlocks were flowing over the root bumps. Kochadaiiyaan got down from Nayak and approached the Sitting Senior. He stood before him and noted the horrible wrinkles on his face - the cruelty of age. He saw the man holding a stick for support even while being sitted. Kochadaiiyaan also noticed the fragile hands, so weak holding the stick.
Kochadaiiyaan looked around him and found that he was all alone with the trembling man. There were no birds on the tree, for that there were no leaves either and the ground was too dry. No sign of anything living except for the three, as the tree looked so Dead too. It was a bit colder too but no breeze. The air contained a secret calmness which was anything but pleasant. Nayak was a bit restless, but the stallion had been in much worser enviornment.
The man with dreadlocks startled Kochadaiiyaan by speaking out first. He informed him that he could remember exactly when the last man had passed by and complained that his hair had grown too long since then and he was too weak to attach it all by himself. He asked the help of Kochadaiiyaan to gather his free falling hair and help him to attach them.
Kochadaiiyaan stared at the Seeking Man for a moment and walked to his side to gather the his long hair. Kochadaiiyaan coupled the hair with both his hands, an impressive dense growth for a man with such wrinkles on his face. He tried to gather them from the root-bed and pulled up to lift the bunch of the Dark Manes. But they were immovable. He tried harder, putting all his muscles to work together, not even a strand of hair lifted an inch. Kochadaiiyaan took a deep breathe, and holding it tried even harder but let them go from his grip by letting out a dejected breathe in vain, and that's when he heard the aged man chuckling.
The chuckle sounded more like a weird noise of hopelessness. Without turning the old man asked Kochadaiiyaan whether he is getting Old - 'Yenna Kochadaiiyaan Vayasu Aidicha ?'
Kochadaiiyaan saw a flicker of smile in the visible part of the Questioning Man's face, the rest were covered by the cloak. The Master looked back at the tree - The Tree of No Life. He slowly walked away from the River of Hair with his hands on his hips and stood opposite to the Mocking Man. He closed his eyes, lifted his head towards the sky and called out loudly his Father's Name and comanded to Death which was sitting opposite to him :
'The Son orders the Spirit in the name of the Father, expose yourself, you coward. O the Taker, the Servant of my Father, show your obsession towards my soul, show your haunting possession of myself, show yourself to me and I order you to give what I seek.'
Death stood up slowly and while it was getting up there was a tranformation happening in front of Kochadaiiyaan's eyes. In one swift movement, Death came face close with Kochadaiiyaan and looked right through his eyes. The face hidden inside the cloak was visible now, it was hallow and buring with rage. Lightening greeted the sky, to which Kochadaiiyaan gave the thunder by stamping his left foot hard on the ground. The vibration made the Death to move back. Death laughed at Kochadiiyaan's arogance and taught him that it was superrior than himself. It recollected its collection of rare souls and expressed that it could not wait to get hold of one more precious one. It further extended its joy by annoucing that it had already 2 decorated Jars for his 2 sons who were yet to be born.
The last statement angered Kochadaiiyaan further more. Death's psychological approach to break Kochadaiiyaan will not work as the Saint knows his own destiny. The Master took out Inesh and pointed it towards the sky. One of the dancing lightening descended over to his arrow. Kochadaiiyaan yelled asking Death to control its pride. To punctuate his point, he pointed the lightening arrow at Death itself. Death did not move, but stoped laughing. It turned away from Kochadaiiyaan and asked him what he seeked. Kochadaiiyaan spoke about Fort of Kathipara. The Death listened to him attentively.
The Warrior told Death firmly that it had failed to gaurd the Rules of the Worlds that its Gaurdians were roaming in a world forbidden to them. He reminded Death that only it had entry on authoritical grounds and not its team of buffons. He informed about taking down the Gaurdians and warned Death not interfere. If it exercised its power over the present world, it would break the Laws of Nature and will be sent back to the Moaning Pits - a place even Death dreads.
Death spoke about Kakumdi, the irregular soul which escaped the Lower Worlds, which was ruled by Death. Kakumdi had tricked Death itself and opened one of the portal doors. As all the Hell Doors are gaurded and its the role of the Gaurdians to take position & secure them, the Death's own General had walked through the portal and now is gaurding them as the worlds, its rules and laws does not matter to him and his army. Death told Kochadaiiyaan that Kakumdi had been captured again, but the portal could be closed only by making the Gaurdian Army enter it at their own will. Pushing them inside will only multiply their aggresivity. And its a difficult task explaing to them about the Worlds. Death smiled at Kochadaiiyaan. And with the same face, Death informed Kochadaiiyaan that challenging the Gaurdian General would land kochadaiiyaan directly in the hands of Death, his own hands and saying so, Death closed its palm as though tightening its grip over Kochadaiiyaan.
Kochadaiiyaan instructed Death that he had come as a warning. If Death inteviens to save its Gaurdian General in any crooked way possible, then the Son will not have any other choice but to neutralise Death itself. Death smiled and confirmed to Kochadaiiyaan that it will not interfere but will eagerly wait for his arrival.
The Saint without a word walked back to his horse. Mounting on Nayak, he turned to take the route to the Fort of Kathipara, but all of a sudden he turned at the same time galloping over Nayak he faced Death and annouced to it with a flicker of smile - 'See you Soon'.

Chapter 1 - The Adventures of Kochadaiiyaan
Episode 2 - Horrible Lands
Gaudrians at the Gate
Act 3 - Sending Back Bakasura
Bakasura was born from the displeasure of the Gods.
Bakasura was the Gaurdian General of the Gates at the Lower World, which is nothing but a mirror image of the Upper World. Souls are trapped within Lower World, those caught doing illegal entries. Bakasura was the last living demon who cheated Gods and got punished for that. He was given a choice - to live, he must be the Gaurdian.
King Ekavardhan prayed to the Gods for wealth and he was gifted with Jamadagni, the holy cow of nourishment. With Jamadagni, came greed into Ekavardhan when his prosperous Kingdom flourished that he wanted to take on the Gods themselves. When he realised his mistake it was too late as the Gods had already descended to slay him. Ekavardhan hid inside a weird labyrinth. He settled at the center of the labyrinth with Jamadagni, thinking that the Gods will not kill the Gited Cow. He opened its stomach and buried himself inside and further he crept to its head and kept a watch by looking through its eyes. Enraged on seeing Jamadagni in such a state, the Gods cursed King Ekavardhan to be half-human crowning the head of Jamadagni, thus the demon Bakasura roamed & gaurded the portals of the Underworld.
There were totally 9 Doors that permits access between connected Worlds. One such door had been breached, but Bakasura gaurds the gate at Fort of Kathipara not knowing that its face is not at the right world but of the inverted. His greed will soon take him over if he comes to know that he is back into the World that he ruled, and now with his Army of Minotaurs, he would try to regain what he had lost to the Gods. Bakasura should be stopped before he gets any ideas of taking back his Kingdom.
Kochadaiiyaan instructed his team to take positions and he walked towards the enterance of the fort crouching. At the mouth of the fort, he analysed the zone to gain an upper hand over the bulls roaming around the fort. He climbed up a broken wall and stood directly on top of Bakasura, when a spear hit him hard on the back of his head which made him fall directly at the feet of Bakasura.
Bakasura laughed at Kochadaiiyaan. He amused with his army for capturing the Demon Slayer and finally the Hunter was in chains. Entirely cuffed with iron shackles and the ends pulled by two soldier minotaurs, Kochadaiiyaan managed to draw himself towards the fort's broken walls. Below was the rough Death Sea. Bakasura took out his sword and order Kochadaiyaan to kneel down. Kochadaiyaan obeyed. Before striking the metal blade around Kochadaiiyaan's neck, Bakasura mocked the Saint's stupidity to have come all alone, to which Kochadaiyaan replied - Only bulls roam together, Kochadaiiyaan hunts alone.
At the very moment Jishan's twin arrow cut the chains held by the soldier minotaurs and liberated Kochadaiiyaan, who, without wasting any second, jumped the wall in one swift movement and dived into the sea waters.
It all happened quickly, Bakasura saw Kochadaiiyaan leaping and at the same time turned to see the source of the arrow. Before him were 6 warriors and behind them were trash of dead bulls - Bakasura Soldiers beheaded. Bakasura let out a huge cry and the army of bulls ran towards the Warriors. Bakasura appraoched angrily with his eyes glowing red.
http://www.mayyam.com/talk/attachmen...7&d=1440160032
The warriors were cornered in no time. Surrounded by the bulls, they saw the Gaurdian General walking towards them. He laughed and said that they will join their Master soon and ordered his pawns to push the warriors into the Death Sea, when the bulls noticed ripples from the water below. Soon the curls became massive. They heard whistles that sounded like war horns. Bakasura reached the walls and analysed the suituation. The Warriors too turned their heads towards the chruning sea water, not to know what went on but to witness the miracle.
All of a sudden, a Dolphin rocketed from the pool of the sea. Kochadaiiyaan stood errect on top of the Dolphin's nose with his hands placed on his hips.
http://www.mayyam.com/talk/attachmen...5&d=1440159992
Kochadaiiyaan jumped from the soaring Dolphin and landed inbetween Bakasura and the warriors. With a singular motion he took out Arga and sliced the bulls those which surrounded them. Not expecting Kochadaiiyaan to be back, Bakasura raged that it spit fire from his body, and he stood as a Glowing Fire Bull in front of the Magnificient 7.
http://www.mayyam.com/talk/attachmen...6&d=1440160020
Each performed their roles to glory :
The Axeman nailed his axe into the bulls.
The Babydoll punctured the demons with her Sai.
The Archer's multiple arrows did not miss their targets.
The Whip did a dance with his lash ending it as deadly blow.
The Wrestler pulled, pushed and lifted anything that neared him.
The Knife-Thrower moved in circular motion, while hitting the Bulls Eye.
Kochadaiiyaan fought Bakasura, each blow from Arga leaked molten lava from Bakasura's body. Kochadaiyaan looked at the fierce battle, The Warriors were getting tired, and Bakasura cannot be defeated with blows but has to fall to assure the Army of Bulls to retreat. At the same moment, Bakasura came charging at Kochadaiiyaan, a hit that will kill anyone on its way.
Kochadaiiyaan closed his eyes, called to his Father, re-opened his eyes and stamped his feet hard on the ground and lifted himself up just when Bakasura was about to collide with him. He landed straight on the shoulders of Bakasura which made the charging bull to come to a surprise stop. Pouring much weight, Kochadaiiyaan pressed his feet harder over Bakasura's shoulders which made the demon to kneel. With one pushing force, Kochadaiiyaan lifted his right leg and pressed its feet at the knee side of his left leg, at the same time raised his left hand folding his 3 middle fingers and letting out the small finger pointing towards the sky and the thumb pointing towards the ground, while his left hand palm faced the ground and all the while forcing all his devastating power onto Bakasura. Kochadaiiyaan's hair were floating in the air and spread as the dark sky. The Master stood in that position on top of the Gaurdian at the Gate, with jaws clenching and eye wide open looking menancing straight at the Army of Bulls.
The glowing body of Bakasura further lighted up Kochadaiiyaan's stance, looking at which the warring bulls left out a fearful cry and dropped their weapons and came to their knees too. Surrounded by the warriors, Kochadaiiyaan stood on top of Bakasura until the floor became like a soft butter and took in Bakasura slowly. Kochadaiiyaan too descended with Bakasura and when he reached the floor, he held to his stance eventhough Bakasura was nowhere to be seen.
Looking at thier General's fate, the rest of the bulls started to run and reached the shallow molten well. They jumped inside one by one.
Shama approached Kochadaiyaan and touched him. Without moving his vision from the Portal, Kochadaiiyaan followed Shama. That evening the Alwars came to work at the Fort of Kathipara to seal the shallow molten well, the Portal through which the rest of the bulls have traveled back to their proper World.

Yudhi, The Axeman
http://www.mayyam.com/talk/attachmen...1&d=1440412640
Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears. - Edgar Allan Poe
Yudhishesta was a freelance woodcutter. He, along with his family - wife, 3 sons & 2 daughters - roamed the Central Lands, which had a dense naturally cultivated woods. The woodcutter family would install beside a village and propose their service to its dwelers. Once the job was done, they move to the next parts on their caravan. When Yudhi's family were camped at a working site, Barbarians from the north raided the nearby homelands. They did not spare anyone, and when they reached the woodcutter's caravavan, they did a total ravage to Yudhi's family.
The Barbarians hit Yudhi hard on the back of his neck, which drove him dizzy. Before his blurry vision the Barbarians did horrible things to his family. They left him for dead by piling his family members on top of him. Yudhi spent the whole night weeping both in pain and agony under the bodies of his beloved. Next afternoon the rage got him the courage to push the dead bodies and emerge out. Soaked in red, he cried and performed the last rituals for his wife, sons & daughters.
That evening he sharpened his axe. He handmade the handle to have a devastating grip and the blade was heavy, thick and razor edged that it can cut a leaf vertically into 2 halfs. He chopped trees with minimal blows, until he was satisfied with his handmade weapon. The night had fallen. Yudhi approached the Barbarian camp at the sea side. He did not do a surveillance, but directly entered the camp and took the Barbarians by suprise. With slashes, slits and swings, Yudhi dropped every Barbarian until the last one fell. He piled the bodies of the Barbarians one over the other, which looked like a tiny hill of chopped meat. He yelled and shouted out his rage and came down to his knees and weeped.
Yudhi wiped his tears, got up and walked to the sands. Beyond the sand, sea was his path. He entered the sea until he was completely taken in by the rough waves. He opened his eyes and was inside a cabin, maybe of a ship. A young attractive girl was beside him. She was trying to calm him while he started to move not tolerating the thought that he was still alive. He found his life useless without his family. At that moment a man in Blue pants and a naked torso entered. The small cabin suddenly seemed to lighten up. Yudhi could not take his eyes off the charismatic stranger. The man touched Yudhi's shoulder and after a brief moment, he simple left the cabin without uttering a single word. Over his shoulder Yudhi found a tear drop.
Yudhi became the Axeman amoung the Warriors, fighting for the Man who Shed Tears for him.

Vrikoda, The Wrestler
http://www.mayyam.com/talk/attachmen...2&d=1440413093
[Herucles wrestling the giant Antaeus - Vase Painting 5th century B.C., at Cerite National Museum, Italy.]
One often learns more from ten days of agony than ten years of contentment. - Merle Shain
Vrikoda Gadajit was a professional gladiator. He fought beside his 10 prefect fighters and performed spectacles around all the Kingdoms by fighting ferocious beasts and challenging the best contenders on land. Vrikoda considered the 10 fighters as his own brothers. His agent, Uluka, would organise challenges and money was pouring in each time Vrikoda & team tasted undisputed sucess, until Uluka got a radical proposition from the organisers of events for an Untold King. They ran into a contract with Uluka to make Vrikoda do a blind fight, a first of its kind in any Kingdom. In return Uluka would be bathed in gold and power.
That evening Uluka spoke about the idea to Vrikoda who was repairing his Club (Gada). Valliant Vrikoda was impressed with the idea, and gave a nod but asked Uluka to keep his brothers out of the competition. Uluka agreed, and the event was setup. The travel to the arena was by sea and land and the whole time Vrikoda was blindfolded. He was put inside the arena ring. Vrikoda heard a voice announcing the begining of the tournament, which would last 3 rounds - an beast, a predator & finally gladiators. Vrikoda prepared himself by making his ears sharper. He was no more distracted by the cheering of the crowd, but concentrated on the noises inside the fighting zone.
First he heard a heavy breathing, then a paw landed on his back. He rolled to the ground holding to his club intact. He heard roaring thuds and when the sound was closer, he tackled to his side without being hit by the beast this time. He calculated the timing and when the beast was fast approaching, Vrikoda, with one swift move of his club, broke the jaw of the Grizzly Bear.
A moment later he heard a roar of a unknown predator. This time the foot steps of the cat were slient. And from nowhere sharp nails tore the flesh near his biseps. Vrikoda bent towards the fighting floor in pain, resting one of his knees to the ground and the other foot, flat on the floor. The lion would be closely circling, he calculated. Sharpening his olfaction, he smelt hard for the foul breath of the animal. He truned towards the wiff by droping his club, while keeping his bare hands ready. The foul ordour was followed by lion's leap with its mouth wide open and teeth ready to pierce Vrikoda's fleash and that was when Vrikoda caught its mouth mid-air and tore it by pulling the jaws in opposite directions.
http://www.mayyam.com/talk/attachmen...3&d=1440413104
Sudden attacks were charged at him. He could make out spear, half-sword, sheild, pike, harpon, javelin, broadsword, scimitar, casting net & throwing spear. Gladiators were inside the arena. He looked for his club and got hold to it. Each weapon had its own weakness - some could be effective in closeness, the rest only from a distance. And the wind is the friend to find the attacker, as when a warrior charges he briefly cuts through the wind. Vrikoda waited and took out the 6 close range combatants. He searched for the remaining 4, who should be scattered in the strategic corners of the arena. He found the throwing spear man and skid before him by hitting hard his knees with his club and when his victim's body was suspended in the air briefly, he crushed it to the ground by hitting his club hard on the falling galdiator's pelvic area. Similar fates occured to the remaining long range combatants, and then there was calm inside the arena. The cheering amoung the spectators grew even louder.
Vrikoda looked around, still blindfolded. He heard the announcer praising him. The tournamaent was over. Vrikoda felt pride over his victory. He slowly removed the black strip covering his eyes. What he saw before him brought him down to his knees along with tears in his eyes. His 10 perfect soldiers were lying dead around him with the bear and the lion. They were all blind folded too. Uluka had tricked them. He had narrated the same story to each one and convinced them to fight with each other without their own knowledge. They trusted him. Vrikoda looked amoung the crowd and found Uluka sitting dressed up well in a special box. He rushed and tried to climb the arena walls under the royal box, but nets were thrown on him. The captured Vrikoda was sentenced to be hanged for attempting to murder a statesman.
Hanging rope was droped around his neck, all the while Vrikoda was looking at Uluka. And the death lever was pulled. The rope withstood the weight of Vrikoda and his body was dancing in the hallow. His dying eyes did not loose the vision of Uluka, who was smiling at Vrikoda. Suddenly, Vrikoda fell off to the ground. A moment later, a short man with an axe jumped before him. With a sharp knife, he freed Vrikoda, who without wasting a second rushed towards Uluka bumping all the soldiers on his path. He got hold of Uluka's neck and took his time to squeeze it, allowing Uluka to take much suffering from the loss of air. Soon the Island soldiers started to charge in, when Vrikoda saw a man in Blue pants signaling him to come over board a massive ship. Vrikoda ran and reached the end of the dock and took the free jump. Mid-air his hand caught a rope thrown and held by the Man in Blue. Vrikoda swung and slowly climbed up the pacing Anagha.
Vrikoda was called the Wrestler within the Warriors, who fought by the side of the Man who pulled him up from the Pits of Agony.

Pandu, The Knife-Thrower & Jishan, The Archer
The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury. - Marcus Aurelius
Pandu Devnath and Jishan Devnath were twins. The Devnath Brothers were fabulous and famous boys in the town, not only because their father was a reputed merchant, but for their mischieves too. Jishan had sharp eyes while Pandu used to make the best of tiny objects, be it a metal or a wooden piece. Both their vision were as sharp as an eagle. Jishan used to climb up the tree and open the latches of neighbourhood stores by shooting an arrow from his handmade bow, while Pandu would climb inside the shop and using his special tiny objects would open the baskets which would seem untouched after his exit. They shared the stolen apples & oranges. All this just for fun & adventure.
During their pre-teen years, they used to spy on girls, sometimes steal or replace the pretty girl's objects, so that they request the young detectives from Dev Detective Agency, to find it for them. Recovering their lost objects made the girls droll around the lads. But the brother's fun ended when they boarded their father's cargo ship.
The Brothers were always eager to take the sea route with their father. But an over protective father stopped them citing the are too young for the rough sea, but assured them that the whole shipyard will belong to them when they are real fine men. One sunny day, being impatient, the rebel teens got on a cargo ship which eventually was loaded with precious freight. On the sea, their father's ship was circled by the 3 Pirate Ships and the cargo ship was no match for them.
The Pirate Captain & his troop descended onto their ship and massacred the crew members. Jishan and Pandu launched secret attacks on the pirates with their palymate arrows and tiny wooden spears. None missed their targets, but their weapons were harmless on their targets. Moreover, their attack guided the pirates into their hiding place. The teens were brought to the deck before their father, who was kneeling on the wooden floor. Behind him was the Pirate Captain. Their father was suprised to see his sons on board. Dejected he dropped his head. Then, with a sober voice, he gave all the secret codes for opening the chests to the Devil Captain. He pleaded to spare his kids in return.
Without hesitation, the Pirate inserted his sword into the back of the merchant crushing his spinal and screwing the blades path out through the heart. He silently approached the teens with a cruel smile. An arrow from nowhere entered the temple forehead of the Captain, and exited through the other. The Pirate Captain dead body stood for a while and then fell flat over the cargo shop's deck. There was panic amoung the pirates who were laughing just a moment back.
From a very massive ship, 3 men came down to the cargo ship. Everything seemed to be a dream vision for the teens, everything was moving slower than usual around them - A short man with the Axe, A huge man with a club and A man in Blue with a heavy blade took out the defending and helpless pirates. The cargo ship was libearated from the sea theives threat. Few pirates escape and set sail on one of their ships in an attempt to escape. The Dev Brothers ran to jump over the moving ship to avenge their father's death. Two hands cupped them together. A chain of beads hung between the heads of the Brothers. They tried to break free, but the hold was strong. When they calmed down, their capturer liberated them. The escaped pirate ship sailed further away. The twins turned to see the Man in Blue walk away from them. They had a choice - sail back to the lands and live a the merchant's life or stay on sea to protect cargo ships from the Pirates. They followed the Master.
On Anagha, they were trained. Special equipements were made for them by a set of people who didn't talk much and were called Alwars. Hostlers and gadgets were provided to the twins crushing their vengence but providing them the Power to Protect.
Jishan fine-tunned his archery skills, that he can shoot multiple arrows on multiple targets without missing a single mark.
http://www.mayyam.com/talk/attachmen...4&d=1440417808
Jishan became the Archer inside the Warriors, who kept a close gaurd for the Man who saved him from jumping into the Sea of Vengence.
Pandu mastered his knife throwing ability and was quick in unleashing the Blades of Terror on his enemies.

It is well-known what an orphan's life is, although he is little and has not yet a man's wisdom, he will follow every trail, try every task. - Alexander Afanasyev
Schizophrenia is a cruel illness. Unable to connect thoughts logically and self imposed interference to be organised, a nameless young woman roamed the market place of the Southern Kingdom. She hallucinates seeing and hearing things that don't exist. Sometimes she was found sacred and running around, other times she was happy in a corner coversing with the emptiness. She did not mind about her appearence and often seen loitering around. The vendors in the market fed her with what could not be sold.
One evening 7 drunkard men passed through the market. Seeing the young structure of the delusional woman, they forced captured her and carried her into the dark alley. They took turns, and spent the whole night with her. Scared, the woman did not even scream but took in all the horrors the whole night long.
Several weeks after, she was found pregnant. She was not able to speak out about that cursed night, neither the vendors knew what really happened. Some started to mistreat her, few others gave her timely shelters. Few months later she gave brith to a boy child and an unknown person named baby Deva Ari - an unknown gift from the Gods.
Ari grew faster amoung the garbage of the market. His mother's condition was getting even worser. One day she climbed the top of a Temple Tower and jumped. Deva spent a whole afternoon weeping over the splattered body of his mother, until the Social Men came down to remove the body. Deva did not know where they took his mother's body or what they did with it, as they left him stranded on the streets.
Entering his teens, Ari was already a rebel. Once he stole the fruits from the temple to feed certain orphan gang hid under the sewers. Taking the God's belonging was a huge crime and the Priests sent out a word to the Social Gaurdians, who tracked and caught Deva. He was sent to the juvenile prison for relegious crimes. The prison was exclusively for isolating the orphans - named as Street Children - from the soceity and it reminded hell. Deva survived several years inside the prison, always planning for an escape. He was given the task of rope-making for ships. While making ropes, he used to steal and stock few strands of thread and at night in his prison cell he made an ultimate weapon which looked like a whip. With that he planned to attack the night gaurds and mount over the walls.
One night he escaped the confinement and for the first time he noticed that the juvenile prison was an island itself, surrounded by rough sea. He sat on the sand not knowing what to do until dawn. A dozen soldiers came looking for him the next morning. Deva stood before them on the sand with his rope whip ready to defend himself.
The soldiers charged at him. Deva closed his eyes and when he reopened them, he saw the soldier closer to him hit back by something hard & heavy. Following that the rest of the 11 soldiers fell in every direction. Deva turned to look at the sea. Further on the sea was a massive ship. At the shore there were a couple safe boats and around them stood 5 men, two on each side of the Man in blue pants. They walked past Deva and after a while returned with the other orphan kids. No soldiers were seen following them.
All the orphans mounted the massive ship. Anagha harboured at the the nearby port. The Man in Blue, who looked like the Captain, descended to the land and after a while, he came back with few merchants. The orphans were taken in by respective merchants. The kids will be sheltered, educated and then will work for the merchants for a living. Once all the orphans were taken in, the Man in Blue reached the deck. Before him was one orphan kid left - Deva. The stranger walked towards him and disturbed his hair with his warm hands. Anagha left the port into the sea with Deva looking at the fading land, holding his handmade rope whip tightly.
Deva got trained in Whip Art. The Alwars made him special Whips through which he can exercise and master his force. He carried with him 5 different kinds of whips - The Bullwhip, The Snake Whip, The Signal Whip, The Stock whip & The Cow Whip - and according to the suituation's demand, he used his respective weapon efficiently.
Deva launched himself as The Whip for the Warriors, who protected the Captain who had removed him from the Concretes of Unknown.
