The treasure

Mirza's heart kept beating faster, looking at her beautiful blue eyes, he was losing control.. he felt as if he was falling into a trance.. she touched his hand and said, 'Mirza.. ' his name never sounded so beautiful..he thought.. his brain was no longer thinking logically.. only her countenance was resurfacing in his mind.. she continued, 'can you tell me where the treasure is? ' he looked at her and said in a mechanical voice, 'I don't know.. ' she asked him again, he repeated the same, then she said, 'go to the top of the Palace.. ' he nodded and kept walking in a trance.. she followed him till top.. she said, 'are you telling me the truth? you don't know where the treasure is? ' he said, 'it's true, I don't know where it is.. but I read some indications to understand the place.. ' she asked, 'what are the indications.?. ' he said, 'it is being guarded by an ancient tribe.. no one has seen it.. it is buried underground.. the existence of this ancient tribe is unknown.. ' she said, 'you fulfilled your duty.. now.. go to the top point of the palace.. ' he nodded and walked.. she took a silver dagger, muttered an incantation.. she cut her palm and drenched the dagger in blood.. she said, 'I sacrifice this dutiful and loyal man... a good man who served his master well till death.. with this sacrifice I incur the spirits to show me the path to the treasure.. give me the directions.. show me the actual treasure buried under the ground.. show me the greatest treasure in Hindustan.. ' she uttered these words, went to Mirza and gave him the dagger, she whispered in his ear, 'cut your palm.. ' he did as she said, even the pain didn't bring him back to conscious state.. that was the power of the trance he fell into.. she took the dagger from him, and collected the blood in a vial.. she sprinkled the blood in four directions in offering, and then she whispered in Mirza's ear, 'jump!' he jumped from the top most minar (pillar) of the palace.. as soon as he came in contact with the ground, his spine broke and he died on the spot.. a black coloured smoke came out of Shameen's hands, it went down towards Mirza's body, many guards came running, Shameen shouted, 'stop! 'everyone froze in their spots..' this witch!' they thought.. that black smoke surrounded Mirza's body, it was so dense that no one could see what was happening, after some time the smoke came back to Shameen and entered her body.. everyone looked at the spot where Mirza's body fell.. there was only a skeleton left.. no trace of flesh or blood was left on the skeleton.. as the smoke entered her body back,she closed her eyes..there was a vision which formed in her subconscious.. it showed her scenes of the treasure.. huge mounds of gold, barrels filled with gold coins, pearls, diamonds, emeralds, precious ornaments.. then the vision changed, dark skinned men and women.. snakes.. children playing with snakes..a path in the dense forest.. a faint whisper in her ears.. 'the heart of Vindhyas.. densest part of forest.. cave.. ' she opened her eyes, she smiled.. that smile could melt any man's heart.. she said in a faint voice, 'Shah.. you can't handle this alone..! '
