Ineffable Conquest

your chief and she will tell you our identities,' said Erica angrily. Yoddha chief was nearby. Erica without any fear on her face moved towards Yoddha chief and addressed her, 'Om Namah Sairendri. I hope you remember me.' 'Ohhhhhh my god!!' said, excited Sairendri. 'Where are my manners?Om namah Erica. Is it really you?'   It was every confusing and awkward for Erica's sons. Yoddha chief recognised their mother. Yoddhas are very introvert and interact very less with humans. Here, it looked like Erica and Yoddha chief were friends.   How did Erica knew Sairendri? How did Erica knew Yoddhas salutations? Did she knew Yoddhas personally? Think about it Daara.Daara was frantically searching through the northeastern mountains. He had already explored the northern mountains. He hadn't lost even a bit of hope. He knew he would find them. Why? Because he had friends alongwith him. Not to forget thousand soldiers who were here to serve their leader. His friends were Sanjit, Joro and Mumbasa. They were not only skilled warriors but great adventurers. Daara had met them during his journey. 'Daara I see footmarks,' said Sanjit. 'How many,' said Daara. 'Six,' said Sanjit. 'Two are female. Footprints are fresh. They must be nearby.' 'Alert!' Arrows swooshed from the trees. They were hit with great precision. Ten bodyguards of Daara were dead. 'Don't shoot,' shouted Mumbasa. 'We are here to talk,' said Daara. 'I need to know the history of this great land.' 'Who are you,' said a feminine voice. 'I am Daara. Son of Paxton and Eva. Leader of Mir. I have been searching for seven years. Please answer my questions.' 'What do you intend to know son,' said a heavy masculine voice. 'History. History of this land. Our land. People have forgot the reason of peace and freedom. They don't know its price. I intend to know it,' said Daara. 'What will you achieve.' said a figure emerging out of darkness. 'I want people to know the reason of their lives. I want them to know the reason of their coexistence. I want them to know their history,' said Daara. 'Daara if you want answers then come with us. Alone. You are at your own risk,' warned the mysterious human. Daara nodded. His friends were against his decision. Daara was a stubborn guy. He would not listen to anyone, once he had made his decision. And this one was made way back, seven years ago. He had determined that he would get knowledge on the history of this great land. He ordered his troops to wait for him at the foothills. He hugged his friends and followed the mysterious figure. 'I will start the narration of the history of this beautiful land. Listen carefully and dare not to interrupt until told to,' said the mysterious figure. Daara nodded.       Beckett, Dwayne and their mother Erica were at the shore of River Samzar of Kingdom Zimland. Beckett had a torch in his hand. Beckett had lighted the pyre of his father and stepmother.   Blazing fire had engulfed their bodies. Manu and Godavari had died saving thousands of lives. Beckett had lost his idols. Dwayne was grief stricken. Erica was weeping. She said, "I never thought they would leave me alone." Beckett and Dwayne didn't like Erica though she was their biological mother. Well don't get them wrong, she was indeed a mysterious woman. She never gave them the attention they needed. They always thought that she was hiding a secret.   'Of course mom they should have taken you along,' said Dwayne. 'Dwayne hold your tongue,' said Beckett. 'Is this how you talk to your mother.' 'No, Beckett don't stop Dwayne,' said Erica. 'I owe you my sons.' 'Mother you know this isn't what Dwayne meant,' said Beckett. 'I understand,' said Erica. 'Anthony is alone with Xander and Xavier. We must get back to our shelter quickly.'   Younger ones didn't knew about deaths. Xavier was quick to realise absence of father and stepmother.   'Mother Erica I don't see father and mother Godavari,' said Xavier. 'I am sorry my dear sons. I couldn't save them,' said the grief-stricken one.   Younger ones couldn't believe it. Dwayne quickly got hold of them. He had Anthony on one side and Xander and Xavier on his other. He tried to console them. Mother was weeping. The loss was unbearable. None of them were strong enough to hold back their tears except Beckett.   Beckett intervened, 'Mother. I think we don't have any choice now. We should move from Zimland. I think we should move to a safer place.' 'Of course! We will leave Zimland,' said Erica. 'It is refrained to travel from Zimland,' said Dwayne. 'Not for us,' said Erica. 'It is for commoners and merchants of Zimland.' 'Mom have you lost your mind,' said, frustrated Beckett. 'We are commoners.' 'Mother do you mean we belong to nobility,' said Xavier. 'Yes brother as ONLY nobility are allowed to travel,' said Xander. 'Let me get this,' said Anthony. 'I know father isn't any ordinary warrior. He must be from royal family.' 'Stop your assumptions,' said, enraged Beckett. 'Show some courtesy. Mother. We are listening.' 'You have deciphered the secret my intelligent sons,' said Erica. 'Your father Manu is the king of Southerland. He is the emperor of Sech.'   Beckett never felt this confused. Dwayne had zero emotions. Anthony was overwhelmed. Xavier was shocked and Xander let out an 'Aahhhhhhh'.   'M...Mother do you mean we are a part of royal family,' said Beckett 'Mother Erica you are queen of Southerland,' said Xavier happily. 'This is quite a revelation mother,' said Xander. 'Wait...Does this make brother Beckett king of Southerland?' said Anthony. 'Anthony make a correction,' said Dwayne patting Beckett's back. 'It is emperor Beckett for you.' 'Mother Erica tell me WHY father vacated the throne?' said confused Beckett. 'Why did he come to Zimland? What is the present scenario of Southerland? Am I really the next king of Southerland?' 'Dear Beckett I will answer your each and every question. For now we have to leave Zimland.' 'Mother I hope you could give us answers first,' said Dwayne. 'Dear son, we have to quickly leave Zimland before the antidote wears off.' 'Brother Dwayne mother Erica is right,' said, frightened Xavier. 'According my calculations antidote shall last for only 2 hours.' 'Fine, Medicine Maestro,' said Dwayne. 'Brother Dwayne don't be so harsh on brother Xavier,' said Xander. 'No more arguments,' said Beckett. 'Xavier's advice shouldn't be ignored. Let's move out of Zimland.'   They left their shelter hurriedly. They only carried water and their weapons. Memories of Manu and Godavari were left behind as they scampered towards the exit.   'Mother how did father and mother Godavari die?' questioned Anthony. 'After your father and Godavari had found out that the disease was neither air nor water borne they tried to investigate its transmission. During this experiment they got infected.' 'Did they find out the mode of transmission of this disease?' enquired Beckett. 'Yes brother it transmits through s****l contact,' said Xavier. 'Precisely speaking only through copulation. The organism which causes the disease mutates itself during its transmission. This is the reason there is no proper cure for it. Everytime a solution is found that f*king organism mutates.' Dwayne said 'Language, Xavier.' Xander asked, 'Erm..How do you know this, brother Xavier? 'After father and mother Godavari united. He got infected by this organism he tested his and mother Godavari's blood. He found out that organism had mutated and transmits due to s****l contact.' Anthony questioned, 'Who was infected?' 'Mother Godavari was infected. Father tried to cure but he....he failed. Even I couldn't protect them,' said, weeping Xavier. 'Come here my boy,' said Dwayne. 'I will give you a hug.' 'Brother Dwayne I think we should maintain some distance. I worked on the organism with father. I may transmit the disease to you if I have a physical contact with you.' Xavier was maintaining quite a distance. They had reached midway towards the exit.   Daara enquired, 'Sorry Sir. Can you give a brief description of each one of them.' 'I said NO INTERVENTION,' said the mysterious one. Daara was quite. His heartbeat rose. His breathing heavy. He had never felt so fearful in his whole life. He apologized. Narration continued.   Beckett said, 'So you mean this disease cannot be cured. How can father not find a cure for it? Now its only you, Xavier.' 'It can be cured brother Beckett. Only certain parts of organism mutate. Its orginal or parent body remains intact and is common to all organisms even after mutation. If I could find a nemesis of this parent body then this organism can be destroyed.' 'Well, Medical Maestro,' said Dwayne. 'I think none of us understood even a bit.' 'Brother Dwayne it means one needs to find a way to kill that organism by destroying its main part. Am I right Xavier?' said Anthony. Xavier nodded. 'Why don't you use easy language rabbit?' said Dwayne laughing heartfully. 'Wait.... Do you mean brother Xavier you knew father and mother Godavari were going to die,' enquired Xander. Xavier nodded. He said, 'I even knew about the antidote administration.' Beckett asked, 'When was the antidote administered?' 'Last night's dinner had a bitter-sour taste. It was due to antidote added in it.' Anthony was frustrated. He was not happy that Xavier had to undergo this trauma alone. Anthony enquired about the reason. 'Father,' said Xavier. ' He had prohibited from revealing any information of disease until it reached king Z'Nor.' Xavier's absence last day was justified. Xavier had went to deliver his father's findings and research on this deadly disease. Frightened, Dwayne asked,  'Wait....When I held you in our shelter why didn't you resist?' 'Brother Dwayne this disease doesn't transmit through physical contact.' 'Then, why didn't you let me hug now.' 'A small lie for my safety from your crushing hug.' 'Dwayne he is smart enough to ward you off,' said Beckett.   Everyone had a wholehearted laugh. And well you know Dwayne gives Xavier a crushing hug. 'Mother how is Brother Dwayne so strong? My body is aching. What will happen to his wife?' giggled Xavier. There goes another crushing hug of Dwayne. Xavier is the victim again. 'Don't talk about my wifey dear Xavier,' said Dwayne. 'Y...Yeah. S...Sure!!' 'Xavier, why were we given antidote?' enquired Anthony. 'When organism mutates we cannot predict that its mode of transmission. To be careful father had prepared this antidote. Young mutated organisms are unstable and at the same time infective. This is reason that this deadly disease may affect children too. Luckily, father found the antidote for these young mutated organisms and obstructed their transmission. Mode of transmission depends upon mutation.' 'Are we safe from the organism or should we take another dose of antidote?' enquired Beckett. 'No brother Bec, we will be fine once we leave Zimland.' 'Xavier, why are we in danger now? said Dwayne. 'Father and Mother are dead. Now we cannot be affected by the disease.' 'A new wave of young organisms is infecting,' said Xavier. 'Its mode of transmission is through touch. It is spreading very quickly. This is the reason we are leaving.' 'What about the people of Zimland?' asked Anthony. 'Father's research will be useful,' said Xavier. 'The people of Zimland will be safe.' 'We trust you, Xavier,' said Beckett. 'How was mother Godavari infected?' questioned Dwayne. 'Dwayne where are your manners? Is this what I taught you?' shouted Erica angrily. 'Sorry mother Erica,' said Dwayne. 'It wasn't any young organism transmission,' said Xavier painfully. 'The organism had mutated in mother Godavari's body.'   They reached the exit gate of Zimland. It was heavily guarded by a group of Yoddhas. While they were trying to pass the exit gate, one Yoddha questioned 'How dare you filthy commoners?' 'Yoddha you shouldn't dare to call us filthy. Call your chief and she will tell you our identities,' said Erica angrily.Yoddha chief was nearby. Erica without any fear on her face moved towards Yoddha chief and addressed her, 'Om Namah Sairendri. I hope you remember me.' 'Ohhhhhh my god!!' said, excited Sairendri. 'Where are my manners?Om namah Erica. Is it really you?'   It was every confusing and awkward for Erica's sons. Yoddha chief recognised their mother. Yoddhas are very introvert and interact very less with humans. Here, it looked like Erica and Yoddha chief were friends.   How did Erica knew Sairendri? How did Erica knew Yoddhas salutations? Did she knew Yoddhas personally? Think about it Daara. Daara said, 'Answers lie in her past.  I don't know her past. I can't answer your questions.' 'Well done young one,' said a mysterious feminine voice. 'Come with me. There are many secrets awaited to be uncovered.'
