9. Experiment

The day came, in an underground laboratory a boy was being operated on, the boy was Shivaay, he was kept under deep sleep… “Artificial root implanted, start applying ancient god crystal energy in the meridians”

“Beep, beep, beep” the machine sounded

“What’s happening?” … “His god cells are reacting with the ancient crystal…stop it…stop it… it’s going to explode” ... “Run, run, get out of here” … everybody ran out of the laboratory.

The laboratory burst into pieces; tremors could be felt for more than a km. Nobody survived in the explosion even the officers.

Below the debris, a young boy could be seen unconscious and unharmed even from such a large explosion. Shivaay was dreaming of a huge man meditating on an ice glacier… Shivaay’s height could only reach the man toes… even in such cold the man was only wearing an animal skin cloth like a proud trophy, his whole body was covered with ashes and skulls of humans and animals could be seen all around him in thousands, he had a distinctive long hair with a crescent moon on his hair like a jewellery, there was a third eye on his forehead and a big black snake around his neck.

Shivaay was shocked as he had not seen such a big and unique person in his whole life. This person was emitting a very powerful aura of death. Shivaay froze ,he felt if he takes even a single step, he will die…the man opened his eyes and smiled at him, Shivaay could feel calmness from this man’s eyes as if the man knows everything and no secret in the universe can be hidden from him. A name appeared in Shivaay’s mind Lord Shiva- the God of destruction one of the three supreme gods. He was so freaked out that he woke up from the dream.

He looked around; he was in a small house…he saw a young girl bringing a cloth … “Ahhh! You woke up” … “Sorry, I didn’t saw it before…how are you…are you fine…are you hurt anywhere” …Its look like she is the one took care of me, but why am I here… Shivaay pondered.

“Sorry, I didn’t introduce myself… I am Aisha” she smiled innocently. Shivaay was already 7 years old but she looked much younger than him.

“Shivaay, sorry for the inconvenience caused to you, but may I know where am I”

“You are in the Siliguri town, my grandfather found you in the river while fishing with his friends, you were injured so he bought you home” she told him honestly with a smile.

Maybe something happened while I was being operated… luckily, I survived…I have to find a way to my aunt my mother told of.

“Aisha, I came home…give me a glass of water” an old man entered home. He saw the injured boy… “Child you woke up, are you fine?”

“Thank you Sir, I am alright, thank you for saving my life” he bowed honestly.

“It’s fine, I had to do it, but how did you end up in the river” the old man asked

“I came from a small village south of here, bandits attacked and destroyed our village making me the sole survivor… having no way to run I jumped into the river, I don’t remember anything after that”

Aisha became sad hearing the story, tears formed in her eyes… “Grandpa, please let him stay, he doesn’t have anyone”

“Sure, my princess” … “You could stay here as long as you want” Grandpa smiled and said.

“Yeaaaah … Can I call you big brother?”

“It depends, if you let me call you small sis” Shivaay said with a smile on his face… in her face he saw the family he lost.

“Yeah” Aisha was very happy. “Big brother did you fought the bandits at your village…are you powerful… from which school did you learn to fight” she bombarded him questions one after another.

Shivaay shook his head sideways “I got injured while running and my root meridian got damaged, I can’t fight anymore” Shivaay lied disheartedly.
