Ch 9-Reverting journey

Weee weeee,Far away around the shore, a group of dolphins were playing with a shark by piercing and poking the soft body of the shark. 

Their joyful sounds were heard along with the ringing bell of a temple on the silent, blood stained battle field.

 "If one witnessed the dolphin playing, they would be joyful, but what about the pity for the shark. One would be sad when witnessing a shark eating a dolphin joyfully, they would feel pity for the dolphin. Then why to pity?what to pity? What is pity.." Is what Abi thought when he heard the commotion of the crowd in the caravans while standing on the silent batte field.

The battle field resembled a lake without any ripples, brigth under the moon yet soo dark under the lake.

Punal stopped bleeding, and his wounds were healing slowly, it seems he is out of Zen.Sadan was unconscious in a 4-foot-deep hole, and even though he had no injuries, his brain hit his skull due to the impact. Mahin was sitting at the edge of the hole, his back facing Punal.

"Elder Janah, what's the matter, We were about to finish them," the king said as he entered the caravan."Let them go" floating in the air, with his eyes closed said Janah.

Even the king won't question an elder recklessly, some of them were even stronger than the king itself. One does not become an Elder just because they are strong, each one excels at scheming and follows their own morals and principles.

 Even though a human life could sustain only 100 years, Janah is said to have lived over a course of 300 years. Each decision has an accumulation of 300 years of experience. So King was in deep thoughts on why he said that.

" Dont think about it too much, Abi will come back to our palace on his own, as for the Punal and Sudan, they are at the stage of death but not dead yet" said Janah in calm voice.

These words would not make sense for normal people, but Rony was wise enough to understand what Janah meant.Even a bee stings before it dies, let alone the Zanderz brothers.

Rony wanted to question how Abi would come back, but wasn't because of the 'dont think about it', it profoundly meant, 'dont question my intentions, just listen'.

"I will take my leave", Rony said as he walked out of the caravan.

" Mahin prepare the caravans to leave "

Without any reply Mahin stood up and gave a glance at Punal before leaving,

" Abi follow us " , said Punal as he carried Sadan and the pile of dead soldiers

They started their journey to the north east of the kingdom, while the Zanderz kingdom was in the southern part.

They then traveled to the east, then to the north-west, and finally reached their destination.

This is the way they used to kill the men who tried to find the location of the Zanderz kingdom.

They finally reached the stranded island with one little hut.

" I can walk ", said the conscious Sadan while in Punal's arms.

" He had the guts to join Rony's army and face against us ", with frowned eyebrows, said Sadan

" Calm down " said Punal

" How can I!! That bastard,that betraying goat has the bloody nerve to face us, if we weren't facing the king I would have torn him into pieces " with his hands clenched, and his teeth crackling, said Sadan.

" yes, for the things he did " sigh, while lifting his hand to open the entrance said Punal.

"I will never forgive him--" Before Sadan finished his sentence, Abi said while looking at Punal,

" He was never going to attack you, was he"

"What do you mean, kid?" Sadan inquired, doubtfully. 

With his eyes widening, Punal thought "This little kid!!"

Abi witnessed the change of face of Punal and went on to explain to Sadan,"What I meant is that Mahin only attacked you when you were conscious, he didn't when you were unconscious."

"Such a stupid question, I had the Zanderz special temparment coating still on while I was unconscious,"  said Saran

" hmm" said Abi,

The entrance opened, and they flew downwards towards the last floor,

"Is he normal, or is he acting normal?" thought Punal 

Mid way through the journey Sadan flew away to another floor while these two continued to the last floor.

In confusion whether Abi has found the truth or not Punal tilted his head to look at Abi.But Avi was already looking Punal dead in the eyes with a grim in his smile.

" I don't know the full story but it seems like you dont want this to be known" said Abi with an menacing smile.

"Haha as I thought. Your dad was a strange man, you might live up to his reputation, hahaha " said Punal with no fear neither in his voice nor his eyes. 

By hearing the tone Abi had to think for a minute.

" You are smart, but you dont know a lot of things, but for now it seems like im in your control hahaha but dont test me, like I said you dont know a lot of things" with his eyes half closed and calm voice said Punal as they reached the foot of the palace.

"Hmmm" while noding his head Abi walked into the palace with Punal.
