Chapter 87 - Little Soul

Ch-86

Next Day, 

Bhairava wore white clothes and left the palace in the early hours. He went to the Clan Temple and greeted his guru. 

"Guruvaray, I came as you asked. Please guide me in the process of cultivating myself!" Bhairava asked. 

"This is called Pancha Bhuta deha krushi (Five elemental body cultivation)! According to our ancestors, a human body is made of Bhumi (earth), Neeru (water), Vayu (air), Agni (fire), and shunyam (space). 

"Bhumi for our flesh and skin. Neeru for blood, Vayu to breathe which is for lungs, agni to make us feel hungry and feel pain when hurt, Shunyam to keep space in lungs, stomach, so that our body parts would stick together!

"So… There are no other great things which can help you in cultivation! Now, we are using them. But as you know too much of anything would lead to doom. Also remember, if you are fed with poison you may die but if you are fed with poison daily then you will grow resistant to it. Even if you were fed with any kind of poison you will not be killed. So… Let's use that tactic!" The Kula Guru said.

Bhairava just nodded his head and followed him. They both went into the underground as they went lower it looked like a cave. They reached the point where underground water started oozing.  The Kula Guru led him farther inside the cave. But it looked very dark there was no source of light but thanks to their night vision they could see everything properly. The Kula Guru stopped at a certain place. That place looked peculiar as there was a big stone in it and the four sides were covered with water while the middle part was clean and tidy. 

"Create a star and rest all the five elements on it and then focus on cultivating. Till when you think you can combine all the elements like water and milk. Then it means you finished your cultivation. One thing all the elements should be in equal amounts! And I am closing the door here! It will open only when you reach your peak point of cultivation. If you want to run away, you can't. Either cultivate or die!" with that, the Kula Guru disappeared and the cave was closed with a bang. 

Bhairava immediately continued to work on his task.

Four days passed…. 

It's the fifteenth day after Raudramuki was dead. 

The Kula Guru went to find Shakti in the palace. His unexpected entrance caused an eruption in the court hall but he didn't care. He took part in the court session but did nothing; he just watched the things. After that day night, he took Shakti and went to her dead body. 

"I need a place where there is no one and the moon can be seen!" he said. 

Shakti dismissed everyone and pushed the body to the lawn. 

"Guruvarya!" she called. 

"Shhh! Wait till the moon reached its highest point," he said. 

"Fortunately…. It's a full moon day! This girl is lucky yet unlucky!" he murmured. 

"Guruvarya, what do you mean?" Shakti asked. 

"When she was killed, her life should be in danger but she was killed forcefully! The people who did this will die terribly. When she was dying she vowed to get revenge! She was fated to be reborn but the child is indeed little special," Kula Guru said. 

"Guruji, Special in the sense?" Shakti asked. 

"No death! But…." he looked at the child soul which was still trapped in his mother's womb, stroking his beard meaningfully. 

"I will take care of him from now!" The Kula Guru said. 

They both waited in complete silence till the moon reached its peak! 

Kula Guru chanted some Sanskrit chantings and attracted the Raudramukhi soul which was wandering in the Basilisk palace. 

"Re Chara Atman! Aham asmakam atman muktim prasaditham bhavan shariram! Cha varam danam karishyami punahjanma sadhatey! Bhavatam prapnoti nishchaya arhah! ( Oh Wandering soul! I am relieving your soul connection with your body. And I am giving you a boon to be reborn again! You will get what you deserve!)" With that, the Kula Guru released the soul into the air. 

Raudramukhi appeared in the sky and stopped for a second before she could disappear. She greeted both of them in that place and directly went to the moon. 

"Guruvarya! She will not be born until a few centuries, right?" shakti asked. 

"Bhairava's heart is locked. In his heart, only three people are there. You, Raudramuki, and his unborn child! Magical Soul tree locked his heart. If he wants to unlock it, he needs a person who can love beyond limits. We have to wait till he meets that person or he meets the reborn Raudramuki!" he said. 

"Why won't she be reborn now?" she asked. 

"Shakti, Raudramukhi feels at peace only when she sees him walking here and there! And she is a soul she cannot reach him now! If she goes near him, she will be forced to be born now! When she sees him in person she will take birth!" he said. 

"And she knew what to do and what not to do. Don't worry," he continued. 

"The child?" she asked. 

"I will take his soul away!" he said. 

Shakti nodded but she still had some doubts. 

"This guy is fated to get his parents together!" he said. 

Shakti got the main answer she was thinking she buried the rest for another time. 

"As for the process of both of your cultivations were different because the soul energy swords mixed with divine energy, the chants, and our both soul energy, but for Bhairava the seed is made of Daivata Dwadasha dhatu golam (divine twelve elemental spheres), soul energy, Divine energy, and the chants and both of our soul energy. You may think it's only one element but you know better it has twelve elements! And as for why his heart was locked, it was because he wanted to become strong to protect the people he loves! And the people he loves are you, his woman, and his unborn child! The magical soul tree locked his heart from loving anyone apart from the three of you!" Kula Guru replied to her question which she was having for long ago. 

"I need five more seeds!" he asked. 

Shakti placed her right hand in ninety degrees as she kept her palm facing the sky. Soon, a wooden box appeared. She opened the box and showed it to him meaning that asking him to take as much as he needed. 

He took five seeds and secured them safely. 

"Don't worry, I am using these for your nephew! As for the remaining seeds. Keep each seed in a single box and store them in different places." he said.

"Bury the body properly," he added and disappeared in the night. 

Shakti sighed as she looked at the body. She decided to bury it properly the next day with all rituals.

Meanwhile…

Bhairava was cultivating without any second thoughts. He concentrated on the five elements as he tried to develop and cultivate his inner self. It took nearly a hundred years for him to cultivate. 

And when he tried to do the things his Master asked he noticed all the elements weren't in equal amounts. Many times he found that the fire element was in a high amount. As days passed he noticed that two or three elements would not sink with the other element's weight. 

He tried as much as possible to control the quantity of those elements. E took ten years to attain the balance of elements. But the important thing was to combine them no matter what he couldn't do. Even though he did that the elements didn't mix. His body was damaged by their effects. He almost died many times but he got through them! 

In another fifty years, he cultivated his inner self. After he was done cultivating, he noticed his body turned lean but he was stronger than before. Maybe he was almost equal to his sister. 

After he got out of the cave he met his master and let him check his strengths. The Clan Guru used few spells to cultivate Bhairava for the next few years. After nearly two hundred years, Bhairava returned to the palace after turning into a strong person. 

On the other side.... 

The Kula Guru turns the Bhairava's son's soul stronger using the five divine seeds. The child soul struggled to survive the harsh conditions which were all thanks to the Kula 

Guru. 

The Kula Guru felt that torturing the pure child soul was fun! The child soul was bearing the torture of this old man from the past two hundred years. 

"Guruji! When will I get a body and meet my parents?" he asked impatiently. 

The little child doesn't even want to call him master but he has no choice because if he doesn't call him master, this old man would torture him harsher than now. 

"There are few decades. But when you get the body and turn into a human being, all your powers will be locked and you will not remember anything. Also, he will behave like a normal kid on the earth." he replied. 

"When will I unlock the powers?" he asked. 

"That would be based on you. If you ask me now, I won't say anymore. Now go learn the Brahma mantra (it's a type of spell)!" the kula guru said as he growled at the pure innocent soul. 

"Guru! Last question! How can I enter the temple while my mother can't?" the little one asked in an agonizing tone. 

"Just recite that spell!" he said. His eyes were warning him, 'if you stay any longer I will make your soul disappear!'.  The little one disappeared immediately!
