is nothing to eat here except for the leaves and not even a fruit.
Mano opened his backpack and inside it are some wrapped covers.
“You unpack the food,I’ll get some water.” Abhi said.
“I’ll come with you.”I said quickly.
I have a lot of things; I need to ask about Radhi and Mano.
“Does Mano love Radhi?”I asked.
He nodded.
“Who is he?”I asked.
“He is from Xavier’s college our parallel.He is a good guy. Don’t worry about Radhi.”he said.
I nodded.
“Thanks for saving me.”I said after a while.
He remained silent for a moment.
“I saved you because I don’t want to miss you in my life.”he said.
I stared at him, how deep is his love for me?I thought.
I could see Radhi and Mano in deep conversation when we approached them.
We have bread for our breakfast. We ate them heartily.
“Why did you come from that camp to this one?”I asked Mano remembering Radhi telling me that he is from the other camp and moved in a few days back.
“I came here in search of a friend of mine.”he said.
“Did you find him?”I asked.
“No,he is dead. The camp officer said that he is one of the victims in the tripped boat accident."
“I’m sorry,”I whispered.
Radhi moved close to him and squeezed his hands gently.We set out at once after the breakfast.I saw someone in the woods far away from us,I could clearly see the white suit,few steps towards him made pretty clear that he is the stranger whom I met at the college few days back.
“Hi,kids,good to see you.”he said beaming.
I ignored him.
“Let’s have a talk.”he said blocking our way.
“I don’t speak to strangers.” Radhi replied.
“I’m not a stranger.”he said.
“Say it, we don’t have much time.”I said.
He looked at the ground,I thought he is framing the words of what to say to us but then slowly the grass began to move,A pile of grass formed in front of us and then it twisted and twisted;My vision became blurry of those rapid moments and then finally in front of us, is a chair made of grass. He sat into it with a majestic flicker of his hands,he gestured us to sit. When I turned back to the direction he pointed there are four more chairs,we sat in them awkwardly;it felt soft to sit on them.
“So,you are a magician.”I said decidedly.
“You can think better.”he said.
“I love to but I can’t”I said.
“I come here seeking your help.”he said.
“What should we do?”I asked.
“Just follow my instructions.”he said.
“What kind of instructions would that be?”I asked.
“Anything for now it is to head towards the highway.”he said.
“No, we can’t.I have to see my parents.”I said.
“Well! they are not in that camp.”he said.
“Come on,he is a mad guy and he doesn’t know what he talks.” Radhi said and rushed me to the opposite side.
We walked in silence,he didn’t follow us or stop us from going. After some time the air smelled of burnt charcoal.
“What’s that odor?”I asked.
“I think the camp is on fire.” Mano said and rushed towards the camp.
People are running away from the camp. The trees and tents are completely in fire. I heard someone crying and looked towards the direction from which the cry is heard. A small girl was lying on the floor; hurt in the stampede. I rushed towards her to help.I helped her up.
“Look out.” Abhi shrieked.
I saw the half burnt tree falling towards us,I thought of saving the girl but she is in no condition to move. I crouched on her so that branch would fall only on me.I counted seconds but still no pain of the sharp blow,gently opening my eyes,I stared at the tree suspended in the air. Abhi rushed towards me,he dragged me away from the tree while Mano scooped up the little girl into this hands.
I stared in astonishment when the tree hit the ground as soon as we are out of there. I sat there unable to contemplate what has just happened.
“Meg,your parents are not here. I checked your parents names on the list of the campers with the officer.” Mano said.
“Is there any other camp,then?”I said regaining my conscious suddenly.
“Not that I know of,”he said.
“Where could they be,If not here,unless….”I stammered and burst into tears.
“No,girlie. They are safe.”the strangers voice echoed.
“Who are you? Why do you follow us everywhere?” Radhi shouted.
“Your parents are safe with me, Meg.”he said.
“Take me to them.”I said.
“I can’t,”he said.
“What do you mean by you can’t?”I asked.
“Ignore him, he is just lying.” Radhi mumbled.
“Am I?”
“How did you save her from drowning?”he asked directing his question towards Abhi.
He flinched.
“See,you know there is something wrong.”he smiled.
“And,you meg, how did you save yourself and the girl from the burnt tree.”he asked.
He caught me there.I was wondering about it myself and what does he mean by the question he asked Abhi.
“The task I’m going to give you is an important one and the whole life of the planet depends on it.”he said.
He continued,”I know you don’t believe me but what else can you do,where will you go in search of your parents and by now the campers will know you are missing so you are not welcome there. This one is completely burnt.You have to go somewhere. Why can’t it be the place I direct you to go?”
“I mean no harm to you and you have to trust me on this.”he said.
“Will you show my parents,first?”I asked.
“Meg,you are not considering what he is saying?” Abhi asked.
“She has to.” Radhi said.
“Radhi..” Mano screamed.
“Yes,I know.I sound stupid but something tells me that she has to.”she mumbled.
“Fine,if that’s your decision. I’m coming with you.” Abhi added.
“No,you won’t.”I said.
He just shrugged his shoulders.
“Where should we go?What we have to do?”Radhi asked the stranger.
“To the highway as I said before.”he said.
“Wait,I have some questions.”I mumbled.
“You are not a magician,that I’m sure then who are you?”I asked.
“You won’t believe me even if I say,it gives you more chance to think I’m nuts.”he said.
“Try me,”I said.
“I’m Indra,the king of gods.”he said.
Abhi burst into laughter.I smacked him. The stranger glared at him that’s when a thunder burst through the sky,one after the other,blinding us.We covered our ears unable to bear the sound.I stared at the stranger.
“Okay,I believe you are Indra,stop the thunders.”I quizzed him.
His face grew pleasant and then the roar of thunders instantly subdued.
“How did I save, the girl?”I asked after a few moments of silence.
All our gods agreed upon giving powers to the people who goes for this secret mission on condition the powers are rewarded for those with brave heart and true love.That’s how you get the shield power and that is how you protected yourself by creating a shield around you.That’s how you are able to breath easily and feel no pressure in that strong currents.He said the last sentence to Abhi.
“Do you say that we are rewarded with these powers.” Abhi said.
“Yes,”
“Cool.”abhi said.
“Are we set to go?”lord Indra asked.
“One last question,you told that only people on this secret mission will be awarded powers.We never agreed upon it until now,”I said.
"Very clever."he said smiling at me.
“I know you will because you are destined to.”he said.
“Okay,let’s go then.”I mumbled not sure of what I'm getting in to.
We all turned towards Mano.To see,if he is following us.He is been silent all through the conversation.
“I’m not going on fool’s mission.”he said and left us.
Radhi lowered her head in sadness.
“Don’t worry,my child. He’ll back in no time.”Indra said.
She gave him a weak smile.
We all tagged along him. I stayed beside Radhi comforting her.After a few hours we reached the highway.
“Let’s wait here for a moment.”Indra said.
We stood there staring at the stars.I’m no mood for discussion.
“Do you really have thunderbolt?” Abhi asked.
“Yes,”
“Can I see it?”
“It’s at my home,I don’t carry it around."
“I’ll show you,one day.”he added.
Abhi’s face enlightened.
We heard footsteps.We stared into the woods.
“Mano..”radhi screamed and embraced him tightly.
“How did you know that he’ll come?”I asked Indra.
“The prophecy says four children and here you are.” he winked.
"What prophecy?" I asked.
"All in time."
I don't know why I even believe him but something said that this is really important.
“Where to now?”I asked.
“To where the destiny leads you.”he said.
We followed him on to the highway.
"This is where I leave you. From here your on your own but remember one thing I'll always watch over you."
"Wait, what are we supposed to do. Where do we go now."
"You will realize everything in time. Now, go on until you find a home." he said.
I turned to ask him one more question when he disappeared right in front of my eyes.
We walked along the road for a long time so it grew dark. I was bone tired and we couldn't find any home as Indra said.
"Meg, look at that." Radhi shrieked in happiness.
There's a huge building standing right in front of our eyes.
"Do you have any money. If it's a motel we need to pay right." Abhi said.
They started discussing about what to do but I was so immersed in watching something weird.
"Guys, I don't think we need any money." I said.
"I don't think it's even real world thing. Look at the people who are passing by they aren't even looking at. It's not in human nature to appreciate something so beautiful as this. They seem to drive away as if there is nothing existed here." I added.
"Let's go and check your deduction." Mano said.
We stood in front of the huge doors for few minutes none opened them for us. Abhi apparently tired of waiting pushed it open.
I'm not surprised to see that the doors opened easily. The interior was really exquisitely built. We tried to take in every detail when the smell of food invited us in.
"Wow! seems like we are in star hotel." Radhi exclaimed seeing the dining table all set with many dishes.
We ate heartily and retired to our beds as we are so tired of all the day's events.
Early in the morning I woke up and freshened up. I thought of washing my clothes since they are really dirty but thank god, I found new one in the closet which I accidentally stumbled upon. I dressed myself and woke up Radhi. We all gathered in the dining hall.
"What do we do today?" Abhi asked.
"I feel like staying here for ever."
I smiled at her who would leave such a place where we don't need to anything except eat and live.
"What do you think Indra want from us?" Abhi asked.
"I'm not sure myself." I replied.
"Why do you think he chose us of all the people?" Radhi asked.
"What about the prophecy?" Mano added.
"Lots of questions unanswered.." I said.
"If we want to know the answers to these. Only thing we can do is get out of this home and do What we can." I added.
"Yeah! right." Radhi said somewhat disappointed.
We stuffed two more pairs of dresses each in our backpacks and some food. When we reached the main door we found a bag left at the door
