Crystallized Truth

Prologue

Darkness captivated the sky and trees shuddered as hissing wind hit them hard. Owls mourned hiding themselves in the holes of trees. The birds cloaked their children under their wings. Each and every animal hid itself in the darkest corner of their shelter.

A scream erupted from the middle of forest where a man punched and kicked the trees, uprooting the trees in his fury. He opened and closed his palms but feeling nothing he gave out another shuddering scream.

"Take a hold of yourself!!" The man standing behind him spoke quietly

The furious man halted and jerked towards him. His eyes red with anger and filled with so much hatred that it would poison the person who would dare to look in them.

"you are asking me to calm down? Me? " he growled poking his index finger on his own chest and looked at the other man with accusations

"Have you seen what they did to me?" He shouted

Their was no response from other man.

The man extended his both hands and shouted - "see what have they done!! I can't use my powers. I can't use the powers I live my whole life with. See what have they done to me"

"I know what they did to you. I know how Raichand and Azaad destroyed everything for you but so they did with me too. It has been fifty years, damn fifty years to that incident and our destruction. None of them is alive anymore so what's the use of this anger every night?" The other man spoke calmly but coldness and hatred laced his voice for certain Azaad and Raichand

The man looked away furiously. His pain was too raw and fresh even after years. He couldn't forget it and neither he wanted to forget it nor he would let anyone forget it. It was the sole reason of his life. His revenge and his hatred.

"You are right. They destroyed your life too but they destroyed me twice. First they killed my King, taking away my precious powers but when I turned into vampire to gain certain powers, they had to destroy it too. Just due to betrayal from their owns, they destroyed us too." The man gritted

The other man flinched reminiscing how they were mercilessly crushed due to Azaad and Raichand. He couldn't forget the betrayal of their own in that matter. The only pain similar between him and that cursed family. They all were played by their own.

He was soon distracted by his furious companion who started to ramble once again.

"They may have snatched my powers but my powers still guide me and I know, I can feel it, that they are back. Those bloody Raichand and Azaad are back. Maybe not all of them but a few of them are surely back."

They were familiar words he was hearing from his companion from past two decades but nothing of that sort was proved yet. He finally decided to voice out his thoughts which he knew wouldn't settle well with his companion

"They may have returned but what can you do? Its not like you can go out of this place" He spoke calmly

"They will come here. They have to come here. I know they will come kyunke unhe ana hoga un ki adhuri dastaan ke liye aur unke us badle ke liye jo unhe lena hai par jab wo yahn ayainge ..... Tb mai unhe tabah kr dunga jese unhone mjhe brdad kiya.(because they have to come for their incomplete tale and for the revenge they have to yet take but when they will come here... Then I'll destroy them just like they destroyed me)" his eyes showed fire as he answered

The air shuddered with the intensity of his voice and his words stilled the surroundings.

Sitting on the topmost floor of sky kissing flat in Paris, she was busy enjoying the beauty of outside with the large window being wide open. Everything seemed so small if she looked down from her window and she enjoyed the sight very much.
