Chapter 34: Chapter 34 : The Aries Family Heirloom
In the dim moonlight, the lady was walking with the support of Das shoulder while carrying the baby on her left side. As she was pointing in the direction, Das helped her move in that direction.
After walking continuously for half an hour, the lady sat on a big stone with a tired face. There is not much time for her, as the poison is slowly showing effects on her body. The energy almost drained out of her body.
"Lady, it is not safe here. Shall I take you to any safe house?..." Das asked with concern.
The lady sat there dazedly while observing the baby's condition. From the beginning of the fight until now, the baby never cried for a bit. Das also started closely observing the baby with a sudden curiosity.
The baby had milky white skin with red cheeks. Suddenly, Das's gaze stopped on the eyes of the baby. One of her eyes is a golden brown in colour, while the other one is a sea blue colour.She looked more like the daughter of an angel with two different eye colours. Das got mesmerised by the beauty of that baby's face.
"I don't have much time left. There is a small hill about a mile from here. At the base of that hill, you can see a small cave entrance. If we travel along this path for a few more minutes, we can reach it. Could you carry me to that cave?..." The lady asked with a requesting tone. n.)0VelbIn
Without thinking much, Das immediately agreed to her request. As she is still carrying the baby in her hands, Das supported her back with his left hand and used his right hand to pick her up into his lap.
After grabbing her steadily, Das started walking towards the direction of the cave. The lady who killed more than twenty members in a short span is looking like a fragile leaf in Das hands. Das can see that she is slowly losing her consciousness, but the lady has forcefully maintained her vision to see the baby's face in her last moments.
Das can see that she was biting her tongue to maintain clarity. As they were moving forward, the lady did not say anything to Das; she was silently observing the baby.
After walking for fifteen minutes, Das finally reached the small mountain area that the lady mentioned. The lady pointed her finger in the direction of the cave. Das slowly walked towards the cave and entered in side by bending his body at the cave entrance.
Just with one glance, Das found that she was hiding in this cave even before the fighting with the mob. Das placed the lady on a stone bed at one side of the cave. There are also several ready-made food supplements and a large pot of water available inside the cave.
Das filled a glass of water for the lady. As Das was supporting the base of the glass, the lady drank the water slowly in small amounts. With the help of Das, she placed the baby on her right side.
After taking a moment of rest, she finally decided to release the bow from her left hand.
"Das, please untie the bow on my left hand. Do not use force; gently untie the rope without grabbing the bow."
The Aries spirit does not like others to touch the bow. The lady asked for his help, with a warning at the end.
While using his both hands, Das started to slowly untie the rope that was binding the two broken hands of the bow with the left hand of the lady. As Das was loosening the rope carefully, a sea-blue coloured gaseous energy started to release from the broken ends of the bow.
Just as Das completely separated the bow from her left hand, The Aries spirit inside the bow is released outside, and the Aries spirit is in the form of a mountain goat.
With an angry face, the spirit stood directly before him while staring right into his eyes. After seeing the Aries spirit, which is looking like a giant mountain goat in the form of an energy being, Das started shaking his legs from the nervousness.
His hair almost stood on end as the Aries spirit was constantly staring right into his eyes. In this one night, he got more shocks than he faces in his entire life. He can't believe what he is seeing with his own eyes.
"Wait! he is not an enemy..." The lady cried with a weak tone.
The spirit turned its attention towards the lady who was lying on the stone bed.
"Oh, mighty Aries, please show your mercy and protect my daughter. Please grant my dying wish for the sake of my family. As the last rightful heir to the Aries clan, I'm pleading with you for the survival of my daughter. Please show mercy."
The lady was continuously begging the Aries spirit with a weak tone. Das can see her emotional outburst after the appearance of the Aries spirit. But the Aries spirit stood still without responding to her plea.
The spirit was constantly staring at the baby's eyes as it was searching for something. The spirit closely observed the body of that small baby for a moment, and later the spirit turned its focus towards the lady on the bed. For a second, the spirit vigorously smelled the wounds of that woman and stood there in a thinking posture.
"I'm not worried about my life... Please protect my baby." The lady spoke again with a pale voice.
Finally, the spirit turned its head towards Das, who stood nervously at one corner. Das did not understand why this animal spirit was focusing on him rather than saving that lady.
Suddenly the spirit came running towards Das, who stood with wide open eyes. The spirit entered his body through the point between his eyebrows. Das felt like a tornado hit him in the centre of his head.
While clutching his forehead, Das started screaming like a five-year-old. The lady, who is at the end of her life span, was staring at Das with a stupefied look. There is also a small amount of sadness in her look.
With an astounded look, she was staring at Das, who was still screaming with a painful expression. After another fifteen minutes, Das finally felt some relief from the pain, and he slowly opened his eyes to see the lady who was looking at him with a devastated face.
"Miss, what happened to me? Where is that mountain goat?" Das asked with a confused look.
"Das, I don't have much time left... So, please listen carefully. What I'm going to say is crucial information related to your survival."
"The Aries spirit chose you as a vessel, and from now on, you are the owner of the Aries spirit. As a former servant of the Aries spirit, I have one final request from you."
"Das, I don't know why the Aries spirit chose you. But promise me that you will look after my baby. You don't need to do it for free. There are ten ghost cards inside my bag. Each card contains ten billion American dollars. Please take them as payment for looking after my daughter."
"I just want my daughter to live a normal, happy life. Don't tell her about the Aries family and her parents' history. Please take good care of her. This is my last wish." The lady said it in a dying tone.
"Miss, what if the people who came after you also found the location of your daughter?... I'm not a strong man to protect your baby against a mob." Das said with a concerning tone.
"Das, You don't need to worry about her. At present, you have an Aries spirit in your body. So, you are more vulnerable than my baby. In the future, there will be an army of people who will look for this Aries animal spirit."
"At any cost, don't tell anyone about the presence of the Aries spirit in your body. More than that, never forget that the spirit chooses your body as a vessel to store her power. In the future, your body will experience a greater amount of change."
"If you successfully train your body, you can even face a large army with your bare hands." She explained with a vulnerable tone as she is slowly losing her life force.
"Miss, I did not fully understand what you were saying. But I'm also not interested in knowing about this mountain goat."
"Please tell me about yourself. If I know about you, I can sufficiently prepare for the future dangers." Das asked with a hurried tone. At present, the news of this dying lady is more important as he can guess more about the oncoming troubles based on her background.
"Das, at present, I don't have much time to explain everything. I will try to speak until my last breath. So, don't ask any questions in between."
She said before starting to explain her background in weak, feeble tone with a pale white face.
Note: I wrote this chapter in a little hurry as i'm busy with my lab work... that's why i failed to fully express the emotions of Das who experienced unimaginable things in one single night. I'm deeply sorry for this and I promise that it won't happen again.
