1 Starting of our Legend
An exceptionally beautiful island surrounded by all the sides with seemingly infinite ocean located in the Arabian Sea. More than one third of the island is covered with forest, dense vegetation. The remaining one third is covered with plains. A wooden house can be seen at the cliff. The house is made nicely, must be made by an expert.
A fairly build young man aged 21-22, quite fair in color, brown eyes, shoulder long black hairs with few white hairs at the front side which looked like silver linings, slightly pointy nose, light pink lips, wearing a plain T-shirt, and check slim cropped trouser, synthetic low top shoes with ankle socks, sitting on a cushion long chair looking through the window at the peaceful ocean out there while picking up a cup full of tea from a small table kept near him and sipping it slowly.
Seemingly respecting the peaceful dawn. Sun, orangish in color, heavily surrounded by clouds. The sky was getting dark from the side of dusk, and reddish-orange at the side of dawn.
Black dots can be seen at a distance in the reddish-orange sky. These black dots were coming towards the Island, near the wooden house to be precise, when they got closer to the wooden house, it could be seen that they seem to be a Flock of birds, these birds look like Wood Sandpiper from a distance.
These birds are bigger as compared to normal birds, too big to be exact. Each individual bird is about 1 meter long, and a flock of them looks intimidating, especially the biggest bird which is 2 meters tall and is flying at the central-front area of the flock. He seems to lead this flock.
Just as this Flock of birds got too close to the island.
ROAARRR
An overbearing and dominating roar of a beast was heard from the depth of the forest. Every bird on the island flew as fast as it could. All the animals on the island started shivering. The entire forest was silent. Not a single bit of sound could be heard. The Flock of birds was now non-existent.
The young man was unaffected by this roar. He continued sipping his tea.
But this absolute silence on the island made him remember about the past. His whole body slightly stiffened, grief and excitement could be seen from his eyes, he started thinking about what happened in the past which changed everything, totally everything. He murmured to himself,
"Three years, it all started 3 years ago."
----------
I was going back to my parent's home, this happens every weekend. As on both Saturday and Sunday, I have no lectures to attend in my college, so what I always do is that I travel back to my parent's home, which is about 50 kilometers apart to enjoy my weekend with them. It freshens my mind as I can relax and my parents also feel good since no parent wishes to live apart from their children.
Usually I go back alone to my parent's home, but fortunately this time I have my brother-cum-friend, Malank, he is 6 feet in height, fair in color, have a slight tummy (average), and his skin is average in touch, since he does not do gym, he has brown eyes and black hair, he wears spectacles, and he has an amazing styling sense, so he looks good all the time, and his girlfriend, Tabu, she is 5 feet 2", fair in color, slightly chubby but both beautiful and pretty, she has brown eyes likewise and black hairs, and voila she also wears spectacles, she also have quite good styling sense.
Well, we partied up all day, a small party. It was not a 'party hard' party, but a small, simple 'family friendly' party.
And since they also have to follow the same route as me, therefore I have companions with me in my journey to home. We all know that it's really boring to travel back alone, at least I feel this since it takes me an hour and half to reach the destination, so I was genuinely happy.
But, something keeps bothering me. It is my instinct. I trust my instinct completely, since it has helped me everywhere. It has saved me from many incidents. I will not go deeply into the incidents, but I completely trust it. I don't know if you can call it instinct, but this is what I call it. It gives me 'feelings' and 'hints' about something.
I am having a weird feeling. This feels like something bad is going to happen, utterly bad. I think that this feeling will go by itself if I focus on different things, so I started doing some jokes with my bro-friend and his girlfriend, but it was not working, and I guess it was not just me, but everyone felt something like this as today, the metro was awfully quiet.
Somehow I was able to keep avoiding this feeling of mine, but after both my bro-friend and his girlfriend went off at their respective stations, I have nothing else to do but to unknowingly think about this weird feeling, and it bothered me a lot.
I reached my parent's home and am welcomed warmly by my mother and sister. My mom is making my favorite dish, Aloo Paratha, eating this with sweet curd is the best. I am salivating just by smelling the beautiful fragrance of this dish.
My sister went inside after greeting me since her exam season is on, and so does her study mode. This is what happens when you watch daily soap all day and then suddenly exam comes in.
She deserves it đ.
My dad has yet not reached home, he is on his way back. I ate my favorite dish with my sister, while my mum was making it hot and putting the Parantha on the plate directly from the pan, it tastes best like this.
We had our fill, then after an hour my dad came back, since I am doing some important college paperwork (playing game), therefore I only shook my head as I welcomed him.
What I noticed today is that everyone is feeling quite low, it is like something was worrying everyone. And believe me this feeling sucks.
Suddenly I feel ugly. It's tough to describe this feeling in words, but it is incredibly ugly.
After a few seconds, I feel calm, completely calm. I am feeling incredibly peaceful. It feels like all the things I felt now was just a dream, but from what I think that was not it, the air also feels fresh, incredibly fresh. I have went to hiking in quite a few places, and now it feels like the air is fresh as compared to those places.
I went to my balcony to check the changes and found out that the night sky is exceptionally beautiful. We cannot see the milky way galaxy normally due to the amount of pollution, but now I can see the outline of it, not completely but yes we can.
I cannot claim that the air got fresh as compared to the quality of a forest, but still it's better now.
Me and my family slept soundly without any idea of how far the world has changed.
And by the way my name is Debjit.
