Ineffable Conquest

Savlin says

'Daara,' said the pleasant masculine voice. 'Take rest. I will meet you tomorrow.'

'Will Sophia come to meet me,' said Daara.

'No,' said the pleasant masculine voice. 'She is a bit angry on you. Maybe she will meet you tomorrow. She has prepared porridge for you. Do eat it. I take your leave.'

Daara nodded. He ate the porridge thinking of Sophia.

(I am sorry. I am really sorry.)

He was tired from the travel. Even the narration was alot to digest. He was very eager to know about what Savlin says. Thinking about Sophia and Savlin he drifted off to sleep.

Daara was awake and he heard the pleasant masculine voice,

'Daara. Today you would have no breakfast. We traveling towards the highest peak of northeastern mountains.'

'Did Sophia tell you to cancel my breakfast,' said Daara.

'No,' said the pleasant masculine voice. 'Don't think so much about Sophia. It will divert your concentration from the story.'

'I am sorry,' said Daara. 'How many days will it take to reach the peak.'

'Three days,' said the pleasant masculine voice. 'Behold the greatest leader of Mir. Here I narrate the most important phase of the story!'

'I hope brother Dwayne wakes up,' said Xavier.

'We are already late,' said Xander.

'I see rabbits talk about me,' said Dwayne.

'I didn't expect seeing you this early,' said Anthony.

'Come on,' said Dwayne. 'Anthony, I didn't expect this from you.'

'Can we leave for Talo,' said Beckett. 'We are already late.'

'I am sorry,' said Aditi. 'I am your culprit. But I have rectified my mistake. I have arranged a chariot for you.'

'It was not needed your highness,' said Beckett.

'Dwayne!' said, frustrated Aditi. 'Tell your brothers to not address me as your highness. We are family now.'

'Yes,' said Dwayne. 'Now that we are married you can call her Aditi. Ah! Yes but you could call him your highness as now I am the king of Astralaya.'

'You will always remain our Dwayne,' said Beckett.

'We shall never address you as your highness,' said Xander.

'Aditi,' said Anthony. 'Where is the chariot?'

'It is near the southern exit,' said Aditi. 'I have told the charioteer to leave you at the city center of Talo. He will also be their to pick you up at the evening. I want you all back in the palace for dinner.'

'We could have gone on horses,' said Xavier. 'You didn't need to give us a chariot.'

'Its okay,' said Aditi.

'I think Aditi has given us the chariot as she doesn't want her hubby to ride on a horse,' said Xander. 'Brother Dwayne she is already started to take extra care of you.'

'Okay then Xander,' said, smiling Aditi. 'Let my dear hubby go on the chariot alone. Four of you could still ride the horses.'

'Xander,' said laughing Anthony. 'You messed with the wrong lady.'

'My bad,' said Xander.

'Now aren't we getting late,' said Dwayne.

'Aditi,' said Beckett. 'Please take care of mother Erica. I know she can protect herself but still.....'

'I understand,' said Aditi. 'I have personally told Jay to guard her.'

'Keep a watch on that gracias girl,' said Xavier.

'I have kept a watch on Margaret,' days Aditi.

'Bye dear,' said Dwayne.

'Have a safe journey,' said Aditi.

Dwayne kissed Aditi before leaving for the chariot. Brothers left from the southern exit of the palace. A chariot was awaiting their arrival. It was just a hour on horses but half the time on chariot. They reached the city of Talo. City was full of furnaces and industries. They were either for producing finished goods from raw material or producing weapons. The chariot dropped them at the city center. There was a feminine Forg already waiting for them. She was quite short in height. Only about four feet. She was blue in colour with a pointed nose and large ears. It appeared as if she had hardly opened eyes. Her arms were longer as compared to her height with six long and pointed fingers. Her legs were short. She wore a baggy shirt and boots. She addressed Beckett,

'I, Simone Savlin, daughter of Savlin Zeor and Heartha Almad welcome you to the secret city of the Forgs.'

'But we are in the city center!!!!!!' said Xavier.

'You were in the city center handsome,' said Simone.

'Welcome to the secret city of Vapenus,' said Simone. 'The last refuge of the Karma thread of Forgs.'

'But how did we reach here?' said Xander.

'Is it magic?' said Anthony.

'How do you define magic?' said Simone.

'Magic is anything that cannot be understood,' said Anthony.

'Magic is a science either of deception or higher knowledge known to one performing it and unknown to the one watching it,' said Xavier. 'What you did is teleportation. It is a science.'

'Impressed,' said Simone. 'I teleported five of you. Father will be here anytime.'

'How many Forgs live here,' said Beckett.

'About three hundred,' said Simone.

'Isn't this a small number?' said Beckett.

'Yes,' said Simone. 'But we live happily.'

'How many Forgs are there in Sech?' said Beckett.

'Forgs mainly live in Nort kingdom though we have heard that some of them are spotted in other parts of Sech too. My calculation says about five thousand Forgs live in Sech.'

'Halló young ones,' said Savlin. 'I, Lord Savlin Zeor, on behalf of the Karma race of Forgs welcome you to our secret city of Vapenus.'

Savlin had come along with his guards. Savlin was shorter than her daughter. Though he looked very similar to her. He also wore a baggy shirt except that it was brightly coloured.

'The search had ended,' said, crying Savlin. 'Father!!! Grandmother!!! I have done it!!!'

'I am....' said Beckett.

'I know son,' said Savlin. 'You are Beckett the righteous. One of greatest warrior of Sech when equipped with a spear. One who is equal unto 100 Yoddhas prowess. Honest and truthful. The eldest son of Manu and Erica who possesses heightened sense of hearing. Full four cubits tall with strong chiseled body. I offer my salutations to you.'

'Lord Savlin,' said Dwayne. 'How do you know so much about brother Beckett?'

'You are Dwayne the powerful. The strongest human ever alive with physical strength equal unto 100 Mandhas. When equipped with a mace is equal unto 1000 Yoddhas. Angry and kindhearted. Second eldest son of Manu and Erica who possesses heightened sense of smell. Two metres tall with strong muscular body. I offer my salutations to you.'

'I think you didn't get the question,' said Anthony.

'Anthony!! Anthony the fierce. The most powerful warrior of Sech. The greatest archer ever born in Sech. Brave and determined. Youngest son of Manu and Erica who possesses heightened sense of sight. Seventy-five inches tall with rigid body. I offer my salutations to you.'

'I am up next,' said Xavier.

'You are Xavier the handsome. One who specialises in ancient knowledge even unknown to the Forgs. Master of medicine, surgery, animal and plant sciences.

The best swordsman of Sech.

Intelligent and soft-spoken. Eldest son of Manu and Godavari who possesses heightened sense of touch. One hundred and seventy-five centimetres tall with beautiful body. I offer my salutations to you.'

'Here we present you,' said Xander.

'Xander the beloved. One who can sense even the slightest change in environment. Master of astronomy, materials science and architecture. Affectionate and straightforward. Youngest son of Manu and Godavari who possesses heightened sense of taste. Six feet tall with golden wavy hair. I offer my salutations to you.'

'That was quite a description lord Savlin,' said Xander.

'How do you know so much about us?' said Beckett.

'This is the description given of the great five learned brothers in our ancient texts. The great humans who will take birth in order to protect this great land of Sech.'

'How will we achieve this purpose of our life?' said Anthony.

'I don't know,' said Savlin. 'The description I gave you is not complete. You have still many powers which you will find out in due course of time.'

'How do we know that you aren't fooling us,' said Dwayne.

'Dwayne,' said Savlin. 'Forgs were the makers of this beautiful land. Initially they were content and happy but some of them were bored of their long and happy life. They decided to make a new race which would be contrasting to their own. They created Mandhas. They used to help Forgs during initial days of their creation but then they revolted against Forgs and established their rule on this great land. Their were fights among the Mandhas for superiority. Mandhas forced Forgs to create a new race which will protect and defend them. They wanted a race of gruesome warriors who would pour their blood for the Mandhas.

Forgs had no other option other than following their commands. They created Yoddhas. Initially they were trusted ones of Mandhas. But with time they revolted and thwarted Mandhas. Many Forgs were either killed by Mandhas or Yoddhas. But a few of them escaped. One billion population of Forgs reduced to mere one million.'

'Does he really understand English?' said Dwayne.

'He didn't mention about humans,' said Xavier. 'Maybe he is quoting this from an ancient text of Forgs. Even our descriptions must be from the same ancient text. Lord Savlin please tell us about humans of Sech.'

'A secret which nobody knows is written in the ancient text of Odin's truth. Humans were the original inhabitants of this land. Forgs were infiltrators. They used humans as their tools. As humans were far more skilled and powerful as compared to Forgs. Forgs using their intelligence manipulated humans and made them their workers and assistants. Then bored of them they created Mandhas who were far more skilled and powerful than humans. Humans were kind to even allow thier infiltrators to rule them but the Mandhas were cruel that they didn't even allow their creators to rule them. Humans accepted the rule of Mandhas. They were treated as serfs and slaves by Mandhas. After the rise of Yoddhas the number of Mandhas and Forgs decreased as Yoddhas killed everyone who they thought as a potential threat to their power. They always thought humans were inferior to them and allowed them to populate and used them as their servants. But Yoddhas were a race of gruesome warriors and they couldn't maintain peace for a long time and indulged in internal feuds. I, Odin, was the only Forg alive to know this truth right from the infiltration of Forgs to feuds of Yoddhas. But then one fine day I envisioned the supreme lord. He blessed me with immortality and told me to find a child prodigy who was the son of human father and Mandha mother. I frantically searched for the child and found him. He was named as Rishi Vijay, son of chief priest of human and Mandha princess. He slained the Yoddhas and established human rule. He himself guided the humans to rule and then vanished. I, Odin along with Rishi Vijay wait for the arrival of the great five brothers who are learned and skilled. The descriptions are as follows.'

'He gave our descriptions,' said Xander.

'Yes,' said Savlin. 'He mentions that if the brothers fail in their task then the beautiful land created by Forgs will be destroyed. Only the great learned brothers can save it. I insist the alive Forgs to guide and support the learned brothers to achieve their goal of life.'

'That was a quite something,' said Anthony. 'We have responsibilities and thus are bestowed with this powers.'

'Odin mentions that he is immortal and Rishi Vijay has vanished,' said Beckett. 'They might know what is the motive of our lives.'

'Odin wrote this text before he went into coma. Rishi Vijay was not spotted after he vanished. Nobody knows about existence.'

'We have to find them to know about our motive,' said Xavier.

'I think that should be enough for now,' said Savlin. 'Let us have some breakfast.'

'It is the first time that I am going to taste food of Forgs,' said Xander.

'I hope you enjoy the food,' said Simone.

'When was the food served?' said Beckett.

'When did we sit?' said Dwayne.

'Magic!!' said laughing Anthony.

'Science!!' said Xavier.

'Eat!!' said Xander.
