Triumph

Iris started screaming because of the intense pain , everyone came inside her room.

"It's the time for childbirth" said one of the maid.

Ramiel sat beside Iris and tried to console her, he started giving her foot massage.

"Get the birth things ready, fast!!" said the queen.

The maids were rushing here there, Iris was having intense pain. "I request all of you to go outside" said the maid. Everyone went out quickly. Ramiel was very much panicked. "You are a prince of hell and still you are behaving like normal fathers" said the king. Ramiel ignored his words, his mind was focused at Iris. After sometime they all heard the cry of a baby from inside. Everyone was filled with happiness, Ramiel couldn't control and tears rolled down from his eyes "Yes!! I became father". Everyone rushed inside. But Ramiel was so emotional that he did something out of the box. He entered the room and sat on his knees , bowed his head and said "For whatever purpose you were here but at the end you gave me the most precious thing , I will always be grateful for this". Everyone was completely taken aback by his this behavior, no one ever in this hell has behaved too romantic. The child cried and everyone surrounded the child. The maid said "It's a girl". Ramiel took the child in his hand first. She was too cute that that he can't help but smile. "Our baby girl is so adorable from head to toe" said the queen. Everyone was lost in her beauty. Ramiel took the baby closer to Iris, Iris touched her and said "My angelic baby girl". King looked at her angrily because he called her angelic .Ramiel diverted everyone's mind. 

"Prepare the hall for great party we have a cute little princess here "said queen.

"Yes!! Her name ceremony and princess crown ceremony will take place " said king.

The moment Ramiel was going to give the baby in Iris's hand queen took it from his hand and went from the room. Ramiel got angry and followed her mom. Iris had a breakdown at that moment and why not she was unable to hold her daughter. "Mom stop , you can't do this Iris is her mother" said Ramiel.

"Iris is a human and she was cheating us and now it's time for her to die" said queen and went.

Ramiel went to Iris. He saw her crying but couldn't help , he went from there without saying anything.

"King has called everyone in the hall" said the servant .

Everyone  gathered in the hall. Ramiel came, somewhere he could sense what was going to be discussed but he wasn't ready for that. 

"As we all know our little princess is here between us and as we have decided to put Iris to death now the time has come to do so" said the king.

"This is not possible princess is very small and she needs her mother" said Ramiel.

"She is an evil princess soon she will grow up and understand everything , the decision won't be changed" said King.

After saying this the king ended the meeting and went from there. Standing alone in that great hall Ramiel was thinking about Iris and the moments he spent with her. Only then the maid came and said "Princess is crying too much , please come with us". Ramiel got nervous and ran towards her daughter's room. He took his daughter in his arms and went into Iris's room and handed her in her arms . Iris was overwhelmed after holding her daughter for the first time , surprisingly she also stopped crying maybe she liked the comfort of her mother's arms. Ramiel was adoring his daughter and wife, he knew he won't be able to see this moment again. He sat on bed touched his daughter's hand and said" Don't worry Iris I will take care of our daughter, I won't let her cry, I promise". Iris didn't said anything only looked in his eyes and hugged him tightly , she knew she won't be able to meet him , see him again. Iris asked Ramiel that she wanted to spend some personal time with her daughter and Ramiel left them alone. Iris closed the door and asked his father to appear. His father appeared in Markz's form , she hugged her father very tightly crying in his arms she said "Look dad I became Mom".

"Yes my daughter but now the time has come to run away from this place , you will be put to death soon before that we should leave" said his father.

"Dad but my daughter is too small and I don't want her to suffer from any kind of pain and I am sure Ramiel will put all his eyes on his daughter" said Iris

"Calm down!! Do you really think you will be able to escape this place with baby" he said.

"What do you mean dad?" asked Iris.

" Go to Ramiel and give him his daughter , I know he will keep his daughter very happy" said his dad.

"But what about the key, that can be touched by someone who is of hell and without my daughter how will I take that key" said Iris.

"Just do whatever I told you and then we will escape from here , the real hardship will start from the south gate get ready my daughter" he said.

Iris kissed her daughter and gave her back to Ramiel ,"Always take care of her" she said and left. Ramiel was bit confused because of her annoying behavior but he thought that she is going to die maybe that's why she's behaving strange. Ramiel started playing  with his daughter. Iris went into her room and her dad was waiting for her. "Let's go , see that hole on the wall it will take us to the south gate" he said. They both went inside that hole. 

"It's too horrible" said Iris.

They were standing in front of the south gate. The big brown dangerous gate had a drawing of skeletons all over it. "Iris! people who do wrong deeds are taken inside and are punished in several ways over and over again" he said. Iris looked quiet nervous and said" How will I take the key and where it is?". 

"This place has five hells inside for different types of sins and we have to cross all and at end we will get the key and there is one more thing which is hidden from you" he said.

"What dad?" she asked.

"You gave birth to twins, a daughter and a son but when you was giving birth all the maids were bewitch by me and then I took the son" he said.

She was stunned , she couldn't believe in his dad's words."Are you serious , It means you fooled them and me too". 

"No! I did this because I knew they will never give you the baby and this plan would have been destroyed leave all this I will give you your son and then you have to accomplish this mission , I will go back as Iris so that they will put me to death and will think you died" he said.

"You won't come dad?" she asked.

"My journey with you was till here only , I have to go back to heaven" he said.

He gave her son, Iris hold her son in her arms and cried kissed him. He left that place.

"My son I am sorry I separated you from your dad and you won't be able to see him in your life and your sister too". With a heavy heart she opened that door. She hold her son tightly in her arms the sight which she was pathetic. Screams of people everywhere , she was standing in the first part of hell 'Tamisram', she knew people who rob others of their wealth wives and children are punished here. She saw a huge crowd of people being bitten from the iron chains and their screams were too loud that her son started crying.

"Hey my little prince please stop crying we are here to save our world and I know you are brave and will help your mother" she said this to his son. Her son looked into her eyes as if he was understanding his mother's words and stopped crying. Iris started walking in that crowd, those people were bleeding, Iris was shaking out of fear for a moment she sat in between those people she felt as if she was going to faint. But his son's wide eyes was looking at her and she realized she has to leave this place as soon as possible. She stood again and started walking between those people only then one iron chain was going to hit her and in order to protect herself and the baby she used her power and threw that iron chain away from her and started running. Her dress was red because of the blood of others that touched her body. 

"Any how I have to end this all , I can't loose hope" she said this to herself and moved ahead. After sometime she was standing in front of the second part of hell 'Kumbhipakam'. Iris was shocked to see, people were being put in a huge vessel of boiling oil and stirred continuously . They were screaming because of the intense pain , Iris calmed herself and hugged her son. Iris knew that these people deserve this as they must have harmed someone who is innocent . She continued walking, she was feeling very hot over there ,her skin was burning. She started crying because of the pain but only then she realized that her baby's body was cold just like an ice , she understood that God was helping her. She moved forward and stood in front of the third part of the hell.

"Sorry my son , after birth people celebrate their child birth's and look at me I am just putting you in the mouth of death" she said. Her son smiled as if he is proud of her mother. Iris went inside the third part 'Rauravam' hell. she trembled inside, her heartbeats rise. From childhood she was having fear of snakes and now she has to face it. Snakes all over the land , biting those people who must have persecuted other living beings . Iris was unable to put her feet on the ground she was standing in front of the gate , thinking what to do. Suddenly her baby fell from hand , for a moment she was all blank shaking with fear but she noticed that the snakes ignored her baby as if he was an uninteresting object. She took her baby in her hand and put her one leg inside the ground and the snakes didn't bite her. She understood these are for bad people only and moved ahead. While going a bit deeper in that hell she noticed that the crows and mosquitoes were eating the flesh of those people and this process was being caried again and again .

While walking she was talking to herself "Thank you God for choosing me and my child to do such a good deed , me and my child will never do any sin".

Iris was feeling very frustrated because of those screams, she was emotionally tired because of those dangerous scenes. For a moment she just stopped in that huge crowd of people, when she looked all around she found herself standing in between those people who have done something wrong on the Earth, the crows , insects were flying eating their flesh the snakes were biting them. There was an outburst of her emotions and she shouted" stop... please stop" crying loudly but no was there to listen her. Her son started crying ,looking at his face she stood up and motivated herself to continue her journey again. Now she was standing in front of the fourth hell 'Prana Rodham', this was the place for those people who used to cut and hurt other animals. The hugely populated hell , people were being cut and their body parts rejoined itself and again they were being cut. The dark and foreboding atmosphere made Iris uneasy. She was walking slowly, looking here there. Her son had fallen asleep, she looked at him and kissed him. Iris then started running in order to get out of that hell quickly. She reached the fifth hell 'Taptamurti 'hell , she saw people were being tied , whole land was of fire and they were thrown on it. Their bodies were melting like metals . Iris knew that this hell is basically for those people who do unnatural sexual activities and make  Illicit relationships. 

"How will I walk on this land with fire" she said to herself.

While she was standing and thinking , a voice echoed in the whole hell.

"The yamraj is coming"..

"I have to take the key as soon as possible" saying this she started running without even caring that she was running on the land with fire everywhere. She reached near a big castle . Iris knew the key must be inside, the moment she was going to enter in the castle, she heard a voice.

"Stop.." said Yamraj.

Fresh terror reared up within her , she turned her face towards him .

"Where are you going?" he asked.

Iris stood still." I know that you are the wife of Prince Ramiel but what are you doing here?" he asked.

"I..."

"Hahaha I know you want the key , I am not the king of this hell but I have got the duty to judge right and wrong and I know whatever you are doing is right so I will help you , I will take you out from this hell but before that go and take the key" he said.

Iris went inside that castle , a chill ran down her spines as she stepped inside as if the castle was haunted. The castle was surrounded by a desolate moor, with no signs of life in sight. She was afraid but she knew that finally her mission is going to be completed. She went more inside and reached near a big black door . She was hesitating a bit to open it but she accumulated her strength and opened that door. The door opened with a creepy  voice , the troop of demons attacked her , she started running and they were behind her trying to catch her .

"Oh! god what should I do now!!" she said. Only then she remembered that God has given her enormous power, while running she saw a mirror in front of her. She used her power and put that mirror in front of those running demons and one by one they entered in that mirror and got locked in it. Iris took a deep breath and hugged her son tightly. Once again she went inside that gate. She went more deeper in that room and then she saw someone sitting on the throne and laughing on her. It was a dark black shadow.

"What do you think of yourself?" he said.

"Who are you?" she asked.

"Aren't you afraid" he said.

"Not at all" said Iris.

"I am your death and no one can take this key from here" he said.

"I will take" she said.

" Ok try it " he said.

Suddenly he was divided into many , everywhere his black shadow was standing. The was echoed  "recognize me ". Iris was looking here and there ,trying to recognize the real one but they all looked similar she got so confused. In just a fraction of seconds her son was taken from her hand.

"Hey give my son back, your fight is with me".

The shadows caught Iris, A lake of fire appeared in front of her.

"My child sorry but because of your mother I have to do this !" he said.

Iris turned her head back and saw her son in his hand and shouted " give him back , give my son back". The shadow went near that lake and hold her son high to throw him in that lake.

The fresh air of the forest was buzzing with energy and excitement , finally Iris was successful in her mission , finally she was out from that dark hell. She received a letter from God.

"Congratulations my dear child you have done an outstanding task , you saved your world".

Iris was smiling and then she read another part of the letter "Dear child as your childhood was taken from you, do you want to become a child again or want to be a mother?" 

Her eyes become wet , she looked at his son and whispered " a mother" , and that letter got disappeared. Thinking all about her past and what happened she stood up and thought to forget everything. 

Iris together with her son began a new life. 

"What happened at that castle ?"
