As they reached the end of the cave they saw a young girl around eighteen to nineteen years sitting in a decent posture folding her legs....
She had long beautiful white hairs and her eyes' iris had a light golden shade to it....
She wore a kimono having the same shade as her eyes and a red bindi at the centre of her forehead.....She gave a powerful and pure appearance as that of an angel....
The cave around her was lit with bright yellow candels and a small waterfall behind the girl ,the water of which disappeared as soon as it touched the ground.....
The place itself gave a very pure and serene feeling to Indra.....
Both Hakai and Indra were convinced that the girl in front of them was indeed a warrior, they didn't need any verbal proof, their instinct...was triggered...it was the feeling one gets when one soldier meets another.....
" It has been a long time, Mr. Kai" said the girl with her sad eyes slightly bowing forward to greet him...
As Indra saw her sad eyes he felt a similar feeling , the familiar emotions that arose inside him when he first met and saw into Hakai's eyes...
" Are these two the one the higher officials want me to work with" asked the lady in her chill voice...
" Yaare...Yaare...Hmmm..you three will be working together in a team from today....and ..you know...what is the good news...you three are almost of same age so you can work better with each other...." replied Kai..
" Yes but I still cannot understand why these two only .... there are many others..." asked the lady...
" Hmmm...you all have been already informed that the decision has been taking by the higher ups , even the TRISHOOLS are involved in it...I don't understand either...just follow the orders...there must be some reason which we cannot understand right now...." replied Kai...
" Yaare...Yaare...I will be going now...you three can talk and resolve rest of the things with each other...." said Kai...
" A MISSION!!....A MISSION!!....A MISSION!! HAS BEEN GIVEN TO 'HAKAI'...'INDRA'...'MEIKO'.... I REPEAT A MISSION HAS BEEN GIVEN TO 'HAKAI' 'INDRA' 'XYZ'.." A sharp voice echoed inside the cave
" GO TO THE NORTH TOWARDS THE 'MOVING HELL' region and eliminate the 'ANANTA SERP' which is destroying everything as he move SOUTHWARDS!!! You have Only One Month prepare yourself for the Mission !!..."
said the voice before it slowly disappeared in the air.....
"WHAT!!!! " exclaimed Hakai...
" A MISSION!! ALREADY ??? ANANTA SERP,!!! MOVING HELL!! Huhhh ??" exclaimed Indra
" Nah , that is not what is worth surprising, it is the MOVING HELL , it is not something that we three can handle, it is a mission that should be assigned to higher rankers or it should be handled by the TRISHOOLS , What does that even mean?? First a Team , now a high ranking mission..." complaint Hakai in confusion....
"Yaare...Yaare.. ,Hakai stop complaining like a kid...Do not act like a coward..You already know what work we do...rankings are just designation for ease of workflow, when the time comes even a rookie will point his weapon towards the King...We are that rusted sword burning in revenge that is making itself better with each slash for that one final blow....Never Forget That!!!" said Kai taking a deep breath....
Hakai was silent in regret , he had no words...He could only remember his friends he lost...then realised how stupid was his complain...
Just before leaving the cave Kai stopped took a calm breath and said, " Yaare Yaare, you three, do not forget we are just sacrifices for others...."
Hakai and Indra were silent, thinking deeply of the sudden situation they were in...
" I am sorry I did not introduced myself , my name is MEIKO and I will be joining you both in the team..." said the lady in a soft voice...
"It's okay we are not any special..." replied Indra...
"Now that we are a team there must be a leader..." said Indra
"Yeah...but usually it is decided by the higher ups...but we are not informed yet..." replied Hakai...
"I am sure it must be you genius kun....." said Indra in confident tone looking towards Hakai....
"Ummm... actually the higher ups have appointed me as the team leader...I should have told you this at the beginning" said Meiko looking at both of them....
Both of them did not know how to react, they were convinced by her but both of their past experiences with women gave the two a bad feeling....
" Okay....then...What should we do from here Ms. Leader?" asked Indra...
" You still have not figured it out yet, there is nothing for us to do...." said Meiko in a disappointed but firm tone...
" What do you mean? Should not we train or get ready for our journey?" asked Indra in confusion...
" She is right ... this mission is fishy from beginning...I know I was talking like coward earlier but what I said was logical...it is not a normal mission but yet it was given very casually to us...the enemy we will be facing is far beyond are grab..still we were given this mission in a hurry..higher ups know that then also they gave it to us..." replied Hakai
" Then why!? I still cannot understand what it means" said Indra looking at Hakai
" It is simple Idiot, it means we are just a small part of a bigger mission...in simple words we are distraction , SACRIFICES!, Mr. Kai was not giving us any moral lecture..it was a hint of what is going to happen with us...the higher ups must have thought a way to defeat The Serp in exchange of our lives" said Hakai...
" Ufffff....what does it even matter, I already have sworn to kill each one of them and then finally the King, I knew it will be going to life and death situation every time I will face a King's Soldier" replied Indra with determination in his eyes.....
" I expected something stulid like that from you but, I am with you on it you Idiot" said Hakai with a big smile on his face....
When Meiko listen to them, she was surprised, she had thought of talking about this mission to higher ups and assign it to only herself alone, she did not want anyone else to loose the life but....seeing those two stupid smiling even knowing the reality she also smiled.....
