Chapter 07: Docter Shreesha

While Anand and Ritu were praying for their captain's well-being and safety, their captain Marakh who was currently lying on the bed could feel death only a few breaths away from embracing him into eternal sleep. When his consciousness was on the verge of slipping by, he suddenly heard an almost muffled and clouded voice of a woman chanting some unknown mantra, then he completely lost his consciousness.

Meanwhile, after examining the overall condition of Marakh, Dr. Shreesha instantly came to know when and how he was injured and the degree of his injuries just by looking at it.

So she wasted no time and started preparing all the necessary ingredients and materials to create a time-space isolation barrier, then she quickly proceeded to make a small cut on her palm and telekinetically controlled her blood to form a large square altar of 4-meter in length and breadth with the bed on which marakh was currently laying in the middle, she then drew 2 diagonal lines with her blood which connected each corner of the square to its opposite one in X shape.

Then she took out a golden havan kund which was inscribed with ancient Sanskrit runes all over its surface from her spatial bracelet and placed it on the floor over the intersection point where the 2 diagonal lines intersected with each other, she then wrote several ancient Sanskrit words along the sides of the square.

After that, she proceeded to place aside several materials from her spatial bracelet, like a few thin blocks of sandalwood, a time wheel flower, a small bottle of essential oil from a century-old Ashoka tree, roots of deep-sea Neelukam lotus, and 10 leaves of the sacred Tulsi, powder formed from the shell of an ancient timeless turtle, and lastly seeds of a Bodhi-vriksh (vriksh means tree in Sanskrit).

Then she placed the blocks of sandalwood inside the havan kund and lit them up by creating a fire from her spirit energy, she then sat on the floor in front of the havan kund and started chanting the "Samay Viparitam" mantra (Time Reversal mantra) with her voice imbued with spiritual energy while channeling her spiritual energy throughout her body in the meanwhile slowly and sequentially adding all the other materials into the havan flames in the following order of wood, essential oil, roots, seeds, leaves, flower, powder and lastly few drops of her own blood, as the process went by, some invisible changes started taking place inside the square havan kund altar, invisible walls formed from the smoke coming out of the havan covered and isolated the entire area inside the havan kund altar as if the time inside has been completely isolated from the outside.

As she meticulously carried out the whole procedure, at the end of the mantra she pointed her finger toward the half-dead Marakh lying on the bed, suddenly her eyes started shining in golden light as tiny ancient Sanskrit texts started appearing on her golden glowing iris from the edges while spiraling into her pupil in a spiral motion, the body of marakh who was lying on the bed was then slowly lifted into the air to about 1 meter from the bed and then a huge round ancient looking golden clock appeared behind him, the clock gave off an extremely ancient and mysterious feeling as if it had been existing and observing all existences for countless eons, it appeared real but ethereal at the same time, the clock had uncountable mysterious patterns and unknown ancient scriptures carved over its surface and had only a single golden needle-shaped hand with the same countless mysterious patterns and scriptures.

At the moment the clock appeared to be still, as if frozen in time. As soon as the golden clock appeared behind marakh, Dr. Shreesha wasted no time and said "Samay Viparitam to 1 hour!!" in an extremely solemn tone, as soon as she said that the entire square havan kund altar and the ancient Sanskrit words started glowing in a mysterious glow and the single needle hand of the ancient golden clock started moving in the reverse direction in a moderate pace which was not too fast nor too slow, while it was moving, the body of Marakh was now floating in the air and started going through some extremely incredible changes, the state of his body stated reverting to that of 1 hour ago before the dreadful mirror demon had torn a hole into his chest and ripped his heart.

His old heart actually started forming inside his chest cavity and the hole in his chest started to mend and revert to its normal state before it was torn apart. When the golden needle hand of the clock finished a complete reverse cycle, the entire body of marakh had now completely reverted to normal like how it was 1 hour before.

The instant the ancient golden clock finished its reverse cycle it started fading away until it couldn't be seen anymore and the moment the clock was gone marakh's body which had been floating in the air 1 meter above the bed suddenly fell down on the bed with a loud thump and bounced. 

At this point, Dr. Shreesha was already sweating and panting profoundly as she tried to compose her breathing and calm her mind, after a while when she was back to her tranquil state with deep serene eyes.

After the ancient golden clock disappeared the invisible walls that covered and isolated the havan kund altar also faded away and now everything was back to normal as if nothing had happened, she then proceeded to tidy up by cleaning the square blood altar and put back the havan kund into her spatial bracelet.

Once everything was done she checked marakh's condition which was now back to its normal and healthy state, the whole procedure took about 10 minutes which was a miracle on its own. She then went outside to inform the 2 who were waiting outside the office.

A while ago when Dr. Shreesha was going through the treatment, those 3 who were waiting outside were talking among themselves, "Captain's heart has been ripped apart from his chest, how will Dr. Shreesha treat him? There needs to be an available heart of the same size and capacity as the captain for heart replacement to take place" said Anand in an extremely anxious voice.

"You must be a new recruit, right? From the looks of it you must not have heard or known about Dr.Shreesha" said the receptionist in a slightly proud tone, "Yes, I was recruited and selected into the team about 2 months ago and was mostly assigned to be on safe missions…..this mission was also supposed to be safe as we were only required to scout and investigate the time-space frequency that was sensed by the higher-ups, but who could've imagined for things to go spiraling for the worst" said Anand in a dejected tone.

"Don't worry situations like these happen now and then, it's quite normal here, your captain is actually quite lucky to be brought here before his soul got extracted or left his body, that could've been a complicated case" said the receptionist in an experienced tone as she had seen many situations which were far worse than this.

"What about you? You've been awfully quiet this whole time" asked the receptionist to Ritu, who was deep in thought all this while, "I've been thinking about the culprit who could put the captain in such a state, whoever he or she was must not be anyone simple, either someone above the 6th stage, or from a very dangerous organization or an extremely skilled Atmasar with a terrifying battle experience and abilities" said ritu in a solemn and contemplating tone.

"You don't have to worry too much, once your captain reports the whole incident to the headquarters the culprit will be hunted down no matter who or where he/she is," said the receptionist in a proud and knowing tone.

"By the way how are you so confident in Dr. Shreesha? Who exactly is she?" asked Anand curiously, "Ohh let me tell you about Dr. Shreesha Brahmaputra, as from the name itself you can tell she's a member of the Brahmaputra clan, she's the granddaughter of Director Spandan Brahmaputra who is one of the Clan heads of the Clan and is the Director of the Medical Department of the entire Brahmaputra Clan, Dr. Shreesha is said to be at the 6th stage of Brahma Pathway!!" explained the receptionist in an extremely excited and proud tone.

"Ohh I've heard that only a select few heavens chosen candidates can walk on the path of Brahma Pathway as it has an extremely strict and impossibly difficult requirement for succeeding in the Atma-Vidhi," said Anand in an extremely awed tone.

"That's right! Currently, there are around only 500 or so members of the Brahmaputra clan who have successfully completed their Atma-Vidhi in the Brahma Pathway, but the exact number is unknown…..it is said that only those from the Brahmaputra clan can walk the Brahma Pathway of soul ascension and each and every one of them is nurtured like a priceless treasure by the Brahmaputra clan" said the receptionist in a slightly fanatic tone, "But there are also those from the Brahmaputra clan who fail their soul ascension and die every year, and their numbers are in thousands, well that's the same case for all 3 supreme Clans, as the path they follow is extremely arduous which lefts them with only a few select ones, but those few select ones are monstrous beings capable enough to terrify the whole world!" said the receptionist in an extremely solemn and fanatic tone.
