Chapter 1 - Towards Hindustan

Everyone in the Northern Country had seen the valour of the Crown Prince Kalki and rejoiced the country's victory over the war.

Yes! The war lasted for almost 6 months! The war almost killed the Emperor.

It was a war which took toll of around 10000 people's lives in a single day. The Final day of war lead whole country to famine.

The rich and healthy country turned into a land of Nightmare!

-----

The Crown Prince walks out from the Emperor's chamber and growls "Victor!".

The soldiers stood like stone. Even they have guts, they would never move an inch from their position till the Crown Prince leaves the courtyard.

The Chief servant Victor kneeled his right leg before the Crown Prince and hands the edict by his both hands, raised above his head. Prince Kalki snatches it from him and reads with a solemn face.

His lips curved into a mockery smirk "This is it?!".

No one had courage to answer him. Only Victor nodded lightly without a word.

Prince Kalki rolls the edict and keeps inside his robes elegantly. He holds his both hands back and glares around the room.

"Raise".

Victor raised and stood bowing his head down.

Kalki says "Prepare Everything! Your Highness will leave in an hour time!".

Throwing these lines, Kalki walks out of Emperor Courtyard.

-----

An Hour Later.

Crown Prince started his journey towards Hindustan! He heard of the country already. The Country of Spiritual powers. He is a strong believer of mysterious powers! He is too excited to explore a country actually had people who worship different Gods! Poor man didn't know what he was going to bring back with him!.

'Just what made my Imperial Father, who was a strong devotee of Jesus ...Named me "Kalki" An Hindu God-to-be-incarnated'.

------

After a few days of travelling, Kalki was resting on a tree branch. He couldn't trust this unknown land and its wildlife especially in the dark. He had been feeling breathtaking since he reached the country. He never knew that the 'country' Hindustan is not a whole one like his nation.

One thing he got to know about is, this mysterious place is far from his imaginations!.

After talking with many people, he got to know that he just opened a single vault of treasure with tones of lost secrets.

He was so immersed in his marvelous memories and was sleeping soundly until an arrow hit behind his head!

He jolts from his sleep and peers through the darkness. He gasps seeing a pair of green eyes....watching him. His hand gripped his sword already and he stood still not to provoke his uninvited 'guest'. He still didn't find who or which was it!.

He had an advantage of the height as those green eyes were in the ground. But he didn't dared to underestimate whoever it was.

Kalki frowns seriously as the eyes stared to divert from him and staring something ... beside him!.

Before he gets a chance to turn, he felt a light touch behind his neck. He gasps audibly and stares at those green eyes turning into crimson red.

Kalki attacks behind him but he felt nothing! He creases his eyebrows and turns to see behind.

But he only closed his eyes unconscious and was elevated in mid air before reaching the ground.

A shadow comes out from the darkness and speaks in a creepy voice "Goddess! This thing has to be cursed! He saw you-".

An another sound came from the ground and Kalki's body was gradually floats down towards those crimson red eyes. Only a hand came forward from a mist of smoke and touched Kalki's forehead.

The creepy voice states in a stoic tone "He took lives of many innocent and he definitely doesn't deserves Goddess's mercy!".

The hand which was touching Kalki's forehead withdrew from him and came a mesmerizing voice "Take him to the Banks of Sister Ganga. He would get what he came searching for".

The creepy voice sounded annoyed "Goddess! This man must be cursed for his deeds! Why is he getting the thing that he wanted? Please enlighten this student".

A husky yet divine laugh escapes from the mist of smoke and speaks "The curse...I felt on his soul already".

A gasp escaped from the creep voice this time "Felt?! Goddess! This can't be true! You can see the cursed person even without seeing their face! But you felt it?! This means...".

The divine voice announces "Take him to The Sister. And help him finding an enchanting soul named Maya there. This man would do the rest".

The creepy voice only silenced and Kalki was moved effortlessly still in mid air following something aimlessly!.

-------

When Kalki opened his eyes, he was lying on a tree which looked exactly same as he slept before. He hears some loud voices and frowns. He jumps from the branch and lands on the ground elegantly.

He stands before a grand temple which took his breath once again and takes out the edict which his father gave him. It was exactly how his father portrayed!. He enters the temple not before removing his boots. He asks a person "Where can I meet Master Kalki's daughter?".

The man who was writing something in a cloth lifts his head. Kalki didn't miss the astonishment in that man's eyes.

The man's face turned disgusted in a moment and mumbles "Find her where the illiterates were locked!".

Kalki instantly lost his thought in meeting whoever the girl is and hands the man a piece of cloth which his father gave him when he met him last time. He mentioned that was enough to find the girl.

The man's eyes turned serious and reads the content intently. In a few moments, he stands "I beg your forgiveness majesty! I will right back in a moment!".

------

In an hour, he was sent with a carriage with the girl in it. He never had a chance to speak to the girl and the girl too didn't insist on meeting him.

He snorts in disdain 'Indeed ... What can he expect from a mere illiterate thing?! Once I get the throne...'.

------

Kalki didn't even remembered any glimpse of the events that happened last night.
