The Boons

Shiva:"Enough my child, although you have shed the strings of fate, you

would not be able to ascend as your soul strength is very weak due to the

corruption of Kaliyuga. This is why you could not perceive me even in my

infinitesimally weakened form . Parvati also wants to meet you but you are

too weak to handle her presence"

Vivek nodded in his mind and asked," so will it be like those novels? You will

send me to a universe and I do tasks to ascend?"

Shiva smiled and said , " Not exactly. I will make you my apostle and you will

spread destruction among the worlds as you deem fit. You could side with

Order or Chaos as you deem fit. You could destroy the entire world if you

judge its time is up or you could save it. Your judgement will affect your

Growth, so please be mindful of it".

"Sweet! So do I get BOONS?"

"Yes, you get three , now ask away" he said.

"For my first boon I want all the Yogic and Tantric knowledge of the path of

Left Hand of Shiva"

"Are you sure my child? ignorant people will dismiss it as mere Blackmagic

and deem you insane." Shiva said with a tone of worry.

"Don't worry about it! as long as I have you and M Parvati watching over

me, I have nothing to fear!' Vivek said with conviction.

"Now, for the second boon, I want a body which is in Unity with my soul.

Magic will not be able to mess with my body or soul and my soul could not be

separated from my body."

"..and for the last boon, I want to take specific people people who I will mark with me on my journey to different worlds ."

"Tathastu( so be it)" Shiva smiled as he said that.

" This is where we say goodbye , my child. We will watch over you from

Kailash. Don't keep us waiting for too long ok?"

" Of course! Please tell Mata to prepare my favorite dishes when I will visit,

ok? Ah! I will try to bring a bride along with me! Goodbye!"

The world started spinning around Vivek as soon as he said it and when he

opened his eyes, he was in an unfamiliar room with complete darkness.
