Mother's death

A boy was sitting on the bank of a pond thinking about something and throwing pebbles in the pond, when he heard someone's voice from a distance, when the boy looked in the direction of the voice, he saw a boy coming towards him calling his name, "Shivansh Shivansh."

The boy who was sitting near the pond's name was Shivansh. Shivansh was a resident of the green kingdom of the snake region of Vichitra Lok. Vichitra Lok was a world where the people were half human and half some other creature like snakes, birds, and animals.

Shivansh was a resident of the snake area where people had the powers of snakes, they could even transform into snakes if they wanted to, the name of the boy who was running towards Shivansh calling him was Mayank.

Seeing Mayank, Shivansh went towards him and said, "Mayank, what happened? Why are you nervous?"

Hearing Shivansh's words, Mayank said panting, "Shivansh, your house is on fire and your mother is inside the house."

On hearing Mayank's words Shivansh shouted loudly 'Mother' and quickly left for his house. There was no one in Shivansh's life except his mother. Shivansh had never seen his father nor did he know anything about him.

In no time, Shivansh reached in front of a burning house, where there was a crowd of many people and they were trying to extinguish the fire using their powers, that house was Shivansh's, when Shivansh saw his house burning, he started calling his mother and trying to go inside the house.

Seeing this some people caught hold of Shivansh and started stopping him from going. Seeing people stopping him Shivansh said while crying, "I have to save my mother, let me go."

Shivansh was trying to escape with all his might but his strength became weak in front of the strength of those people and Shivansh could not escape from them, after the efforts of the people the fire was extinguished and after that everybody left Shivansh.

As soon as he got free from everyone, Shivansh quickly went inside the house, Shivansh's house had been completely burnt, after going inside the house Shivansh started calling his mother, then he heard someone groaning from a room, hearing which Shivansh went towards that room and went inside, the door of the room had been badly burnt.

When Shivansh went inside the room, he saw that a woman was badly burnt by fire but she was still alive. That woman was Shivansh's mother. When Shivansh saw his mother, he quickly went to her and said while crying, "Mom, I will not let anything happen to you. I will save you."

Hearing Shivansh's words, Shivansh's mother groaned and said, "No Shivansh, I am not going to survive now but before dying I want to give you something."

"No mother, don't say this, who else is there in my life except you," Shivansh said.

"No son, you are not alone in this world, you have your whole family. Do one thing. There will be a small box in that burnt box. It will have the answers to all your questions. Go and take them from there," saying this, Shivansh's mother started to die.

Seeing this, Shivansh started crying and said, "Mom, nothing will happen to you, I will take you to Vaidya ji."

After saying this Shivansh started to wake up his mother, then his mother extended her hand towards Shivansh and said, "Shivansh today the fire in the house was not set intentionally and this is your mother's murderer."

Saying this, Shivansh's mother gave something to Shivansh, when Shivansh saw that thing, it was a locket on which some strange marks were made, Shivansh was looking at the locket when his mother gave up her life.

As soon as Shivansh's mother died, Shivansh started crying loudly. Seeing this, Mayank who had followed Shivansh started taking care of him. By now, many people had come to Shivansh's house. Everyone listened to Shivansh's mother and everyone started talking about Shivansh's family.

After Shivansh's mother's death, Shivansh's neighbors helped Shivansh in his mother's last rites. After performing his mother's last rites, Shivansh did not come out of his house for two days. Mayank came many times to call him but he did not go anywhere and stayed in his mother's room in his house.

After two days, Shivansh remembered his mother's words and he quickly went towards the box and opened it. After opening the box, Shivansh found a small box in it as per his mother's words. After seeing that box, Shivansh picked up the box.

When Shivansh opened that box, there was a golden coloured locket in that small box on which the mark of Garuda was made, Shivansh was looking at that locket when his eyes fell on a ring, that too was golden in colour on which the mark of a seven headed snake was made.

Looking at the ring and the locket Shivansh said, "What does this mean and what is this locket with the mark of Garuda doing here and this ring with the mark of Lord Sheshnag, what is my relation with these two after all?"

After seeing that locket and ring, Shivansh kept both the things aside and picked up a paper kept in that box and opened it, that paper was a letter which Shivansh's mother had written for Shivansh.

Seeing the letter written by his mother, Shivansh's eyes filled with tears and he started reading it. It was written in that letter, "My son Shivansh, I know that you think that you are alone in this world now but this is not true. Your father is still alive. I know who he is. Once a resident of Garud region came to our region floating in water. At that time I was also sitting on the bank of the river. I saved that man's life and took care of him and gradually we fell in love and we got married in Gandharva. After that I became pregnant. After some time your father returned to Garud region and before leaving he said that he will return but he did not return. His name was Shivdev. When the news of my pregnancy reached my family, your maternal grandfather was defamed a lot because no one knew about my husband. Your maternal grandfather is an emperor and his name is Emperor Sureshwar. For the sake of the honor of the royal family, he had to leave his beloved daughter from the house. So Shivansh, when you become powerful, then help your maternal grandfather. He has many enemies and at the end it was written your mother.

Shivansh's eyes became red after reading his mother's letter, he said, "My father Shivdev, he betrayed my mother, he will have to answer for the injustice done to my mother and mother, I promise you that I will go to Nana to protect him."

After saying this, Shivansh started looking at the ring and locket in his hand, then his eyes fell on another ring kept in the box, seeing it Shivansh picked it up and started examining it, after examining it for a few moments Shivansh said, "This is a storage ring, is there anything in it."

After saying this, Shivansh looked inside the storage ring and saw that a bundle was kept inside it. When Shivansh opened that bundle, he was shocked to see what was inside it.

Actually there were gold coins in that bundle. When Shivansh counted the gold coins, he found that the total number of gold coins was one thousand. After counting the gold coins, Shivansh said, "If mother had so many gold coins, then why were we living in poverty. Mother must have had some compulsion."

After saying this Shivansh put the bundle back in the storage. After that Shivansh again started looking at the ring to see what was in it. Then Shivansh saw a sword. Seeing the sword Shivansh said in his mind, "This is a magical sword."

Shivansh took out that sword and used it and then kept the sword in the storage and sat at his place and wore the storage ring and kept both the lockets and rings of his hand in the storage.

After wearing the ring, Shivansh looked towards the sky and said, "Mother, how will I complete the task you have given me? My power level is not increasing and there is no one to help me."

Shivansh was much weaker than the boys of his age. He had turned seventeen but he was not able to move ahead from zero rank. It was not that Shivansh did not work hard, Shivansh worked very hard yet there was no effect on Shivansh's strength level.

Shivansh was thinking about ways to increase his power level when his eyes fell on a picture hanging on the wall of the room which was of Lord Vishnu, Shivansh and his mother were devotees of Lord Vishnu.

After seeing the picture of Lord Vishnu, there was a sparkle in the eyes of Shivansh and he got up from his place and folding his hands in front of the picture of Lord Vishnu, said, "O Lord Vishnu, my mother used to tell me since childhood that you can go to any extent to get justice, so today one of your devotees is asking for justice from you, I have heard that you fulfill every wish of whoever climbs the Vaishnav mountain and goes to your temple, but till date no one has been able to reach your temple, but today I will come to you and you will have to help me."

Saying this, Shivansh bowed to God and left the room. Vaishnav Parvat was a mysterious mountain of Harit Rajya which no one had been able to climb. It was believed that only a true devotee can climb this mountain. This mountain was at some distance from Shivansh's house, so Aryan quickly left for the mountain without a ride.

After about half an hour, Shivansh reached the mountain where many people were worshiping Lord Vishnu below. No one had the courage to climb the mountain because many had died while climbing it.

After reaching near that mountain, Shivansh first bowed to Lord Vishnu and proceeded to climb the mountain, when Shivansh started trying to climb the mountain, some people tried to stop him but Shivansh did not stop and started climbing the mountain.

Shivansh Vaishnav was climbing the mountain and people from below were trying to stop him, Shivansh had covered a distance of fifty meters in a short time but then the rock on which Shivansh was keeping his feet broke slightly due to which Shivansh's feet slipped and Shivansh was about to fall down when he caught hold of a rock with his full strength and started maintaining balance.

When the people standing below saw that Shivansh was about to fall, they all started worrying about Shivansh and they all started asking Shivansh to climb carefully, in some time Shivansh maintained his balance and started climbing up.

Seeing Shivansh's courage, everyone started praising him, they all started believing that Shivansh would climb the mountain, in a short time the news of Shivansh trying to climb the mountain spread in the surrounding areas.

After about three hours, Shivansh climbed the mountain in an injured state. Shivansh was badly injured, he had wounds all over his head till his feet. As soon as he climbed the mountain, Shivansh fainted and fell on the ground, but when Shivansh was becoming unconscious, he saw a temple in front of him on which something was written.

Shivansh could not read and fell unconscious, a lot of blood was flowing from Shivansh's body, after being unconscious for about two hours, when Shivansh opened his eyes, there was a temple in front of him, this was the same temple about which there was talk among the people.

At the entrance of that temple of Lord Vishnu, there was a statue of two seven-faced snakes standing as gatekeepers. Looking at the statue, it seemed as if the statue was alive. The beauty of that temple was amazing. No one used to come there but still the temple was very clean. There was no dirt in that temple.

Shivansh bowed to the stairs of the temple and went inside. After going inside Shivansh saw that the temple had a huge statue of Lord Vishnu. Behind that statue, Sheshnag was seated holding an umbrella. The divinity was clearly visible from that statue.

Seeing that idol, Shivansh bowed to Lord Vishnu and said, "O Lord Vishnu, I, Shivansh, your devotee, have come to seek justice from you today. Today, until I gain the strength to get justice for my mother, my eyes will be on you and my tongue will chant your mantras. I will remain like this until you bless me.

Saying this, Shivansh sat on the floor of the temple and started meditating while looking at the idol of Lord Vishnu. Due to chanting mantras while looking at the idol for about two days, Shivansh's eyes had become blood red. Looking at Shivansh's eyes, it seemed that in some time blood would start coming out of Shivansh's eyes.
