Past or Future: Truly Unknown - II

"Well anyways that is not supposed to be a part of my story. Let's go ahead"

"No, I want to know more. I want to know the truth. "

"It would be better if you hear it from his mouth, not mine... "

"Okay"

From the look in his eyes, I knew this topic was over.

"Let's continue from where I left..."

"Sure"

" So when I was on the brink of death, choking on my own blood, she was the one who saved me...

All of my people massacred, the most powerful race amongst all supernatural's erased completely...

A time when I met her, the 25th Witch Queen, the kindest witch of all. A time of difficulties.

She helped me, at a time when I was burning in self melancholy. ", said wavvy with self mock.

I could see that pain in his eyes.

He couldn't forget it even after so many years.

He spent his whole life in self mock.

"But it wasn't your fault that they died.", said I sympathetically, trying to male his guilt go away

With nostalgia in his voice, he continued, " Well anyways, Anuja was a kind person.

She used to take great care of everyone. "

"Me??"

"The 25th Witch Queen was Anuja.

Her name was Anuja...."

"Ohhh"

"After that, she took me in. Taking care of my wounds...

She helped me gain my confidence and pride as a dragon king.

And then I decided to serve as a protector for her and her future generations.

You, mortals, have so short life spans...

So many years passed, so many which queens came and went but all of them had that same kind heart.

Those virtues that defined her.

All of them were noble at heart and sharp at mind."

A pride unknown to the world could be seen in his eyes.

Trying to overshadow the sadness of the past.

Time heals the outer wounds but some scars never heal, the ones given on heart.

"Do still miss them?

You still cry for them

You still feel that pain

You still want to return to them

You still want your revenge"

"I do remember those days. But I have long forgotten that pain, that sadness, that urge for revenge.

The only thing that makes me sad is that there is nothing constant in this world.

People whom I met in these past 60,000 years died in front of my eyes.

But I couldn't do anything.

She died in front of my eyes, but I couldn't do anything.

There was a way by which I could save her.

Killed in front of my eyes.

Similarly, all the other witches of her future generations died in a mysterious way."

A gloominess overshadowed his playful nature.

"That's the way of life, nothing is constant.

Nothing shall ever be constant for the life must go on.

The world must move on."

"Hmmm"

"Moving on, what has this got to do with my parents??

It's not like they are linked to this world..."

"Well not everything is like it seems and not everyone is what you though.

Sometimes we need to build a web of lies for the protection of our loved ones."

A web of lies??

What is he trying to say??

Does he mean my parents lied to me and we're actually a part of this world.

They had been here before too.

I don't get it

How could this be possible, they were just some normal human beings.

"...", with a tilt of my bead, I give him a puzzled look.

Urging him to explain it further on.

"The last witch queen, the one before Maya, was a girl of true character and nobleness.

She always helped people in need.

One day, while her visit to the human realm.

She was attacked by some assassins in her way.

She survived that attack somehow but was badly injured.

She decided to take a rest and hide from any further attacks in the deep parts of a nearby forest.

But she didn't expect to be found by a human at that dark mysterious night.", said wavvy with a mysterious glint in his eyes.

As if he knew something unusual, something exciting, something sad.

A mix of contradiction feelings could be seen in his eyes.

"When the human found her, she had already fainted from too much loss of blood.

He took her in, cared for her day and night.

And nursed her back to health.

During her stay in the mortal realm, she fell in love with him.

Deciding to get married and settle down.

They had a lovely daughter. "

So that's the reason why she disappeared. I could never imagine this to be the reason for her disappearance even in my wildest dreams.

No wonder, no one could find her.

After all, she settled down in a completely different realm.

"Sooo...

What happened after that??"

"Well if there are happy times in life, there are tough times too.

Life is used to taking an unexpected turn of events at unexpected times.

And so it did.

On the day of her visit to Amar Realm with her husband, something unexpected and horrifying occurred.

She had left her daughter behind in the mortal realm with some friend of her husband.

And she would be thankful for doing so till eternity.

For she wouldn't want the same thing to happen to her daughter, what happened to her..."
