Timelines-Chapter-5- Investigation

Everything was not going well, Adhira died mysteriously turning into dust when an arrow was been shot by Akuma. The plan failed and Akuma got a lot of scoldings from Dark Lord when he got to know that Akuma missed such an easy shot. Ashok promised Arun that he will bring Adhira back as fast as possible. Now continuing:

Ashok and Arun were in the castle of Obeg and were discussing who must have done this mysterious work, Arun was still sad as Adhira died in front of him, and couldn't do anything to save her," Are you sad, I feel sorry for you that is why I am asking this question to you" Tells Ashok, Arun doesn't reply instead decides to stay quiet and just stay sad. Ashok again tries to talk with him, this time with a sorry as he also couldn't do anything when she got shot," You know what Arun, there is no use staying quiet, instead let's find who is the murderer even Aarush is in our team now, we can find him" No reply still.

Meanwhile," Hmm, I wonder what is Ashok doing in Obeg," says Professor, suddenly a sound approaches him," Who is it" No reply was coming, he was in confusion plus scared, and suddenly a man approaches behind him and says," Sighs, I want you" Professor replies," Who are you" The mysterious person replies," I am a man who needs you, come with me and you will be safe or else, no need to tell, you understood, right" Professor didn't have any other choice except to go with him.

Suddenly the Commander in Chief of the Army comes to their room," Sir we got a map from our dear Malli, he found it in the garden of the castle of Obeg" Ashok replies," Show me" " Also there is a book". He perceives the map and finds that there is a point near Terricle Kingdom. When he opens the book he finds written," Do you want to find the gem, come to this location you will find a clue for a solution to all the problems of you and your friends". Ashok gets confused and shows it to Arun, Arun was angry but when he reads the book he finally talks to Ashok," Wait, we need to go, think once what's our problem, it's to bring Adhira back to life, this can solve our problem" Ashok replies" Yeah but there is a problem, the book says we need at least 3 men" Arun replies in confusion," Yeah that's a problem, let me think, wait why are we thinking so much, we can take Aarush with us it will be three men" Ashok replies" Oh, yes we can take him with us".

Ashok, Arun, and Aarush after 3 weeks, after all the preparations, they started to proceed to their destination.

A man was sitting in front of a volcano, praying something mysterious. He was playing an instrument called Bouzouki (An instrument which is a member of the long-necked lute family, with a round body with a flat top and a long neck with a fretted fingerboard, just like a modern-day guitar) suddenly he starts to play the Bouzouki, and the rock body's above him also start's to move their face at the center of the cave (The volcano). He suddenly disturbingly uses the Bouzouki, and the sound of the music can be heard even outside, he then suddenly starts singing, and with him, all the rock statues also start singing. He then senses someone trying to enter his cave, he stops to sing and suddenly uses some mysterious chants.

Suddenly when Ashok, Arun, and Aarush get blinded, they were getting extreme pain and stress in their eyes, Ashok then says," Guys be closer don't go too far, let's be together or else we will be lost" After some time Ashok tries to open his eyes, he finds that he can only 10 meters from his point of view. 2 of them also open their eyes and they also report the same thing happening to them. Ashok reports that" Guys there is decent over here we can't go further" Whereas Aarush tells" Wait, guys, there is a cave over here, I guess we found the place where we needed to come.

The mysterious guy again spells something mysterious, and suddenly he becomes invisible. Ashok, Arun, and Aarush enter the cave and come across many cobwebs, not unusual at all, but then they see a large space that looked like a big cave, a statue of a mysterious man was at every corner of the cave, at the middle, there was a volcano and below that there was a campfire and a seat," This place completely looks like a man-made cave, we need to be careful anyone can come and catch us" says Arun, Ashok tells" Guys look everywhere, see if anywhere we find something good for us and can solve our problems" Aarush sees the volcano, and he wanted to see whether there is anything useful over there, he tells to Ashok" Ashok I am going at the top of the volcano to see whether there is anything useful for us" Ashok gives thumbs up which meant 'Ok'. Ashok then goes near a statue and says" Who must have been here, this place looks so horrifying, feels like a musician must have been here" Arun over there was seeing the campfire and was thinking," Someone should be here minutes ago because the fire is still lit" He then continues to search, whereas, Aarush climbed the volcano and found some tools and some food over there," Guys I found something here" Say's Aarush, Ashok replies" We can't come there tell me what you found" Aarush replies" I found some tools, weapons, and some food" Ashok replies" Sighs, we have all of them already we ain't need anything from there, you come down" Suddenly voice echos at the cave," No one will escape, give me a sacrifice or else you all will die as a sacrifice" Ashok gets surprised and tells to the mysterious sound," What do you mean?" Tells Ashok very rudely, the mysterious sound replies," I mean a sacrifice, someone should die for Dark Lord" Ashok replies" No one is going to die, well why did you leave a letter and a map in the garden" He replies" What do you mean? Why would I leave a letter in your garden?" Ashok was in shock, he then says," What! Wait, so who left the letter and this map" he shows the map to the cave and the mysterious guy replies," I don't know who gave you the letter but I know one thing whoever comes here must kill a human as a sacrifice" Ashok stops him and says," Shut up! No one is going to die here" The mysterious guy gets offended and says," You stopped me, how dare you stop me, this is your punishment" Suddenly Aarush gets a push and falls into the volcano and dies. Ashok was in shock," Are you serious!" He kneels and starts to think," First Adhira and now Aarush" He shouts and yells and says 'why only me'. The mysterious guy then says," This is what you get after disgracing me", Arun then says to Ashok," Ashok, come out of your sadness, even I was sad when Adhira died, we need to escape this place as fast as possible before this mysterious person kills us all, come let's run".
