Knight In Panter's Skin searching!

SEARCHING FOR KNIGHT IN PANTER'S SKIN

When flower is taken away from sun, it withers away, isn't it sad?

avtandil was flower in reality..and Tinatin was his sun!

Days were passing, months! Years..time was running out!

He checked all directions, be it north or south, east or west!

He passed borders of Arabia.. searching in every kingdom he set his foot in..

Be it snow, or rain, cold or sunny, he was not stopping..

Ofcourse..he was getting tired..

He was losing hope of finding him..

he even asked people around him..but no one had seen such knight!

AVTANDILI

*in mind* so long has passed but there is no trace of him..how will I go back to Tinatin without him?

AVTANDILI

*in mind* I have walked so far..so many nights..is this all in vain?

AVTANDILI

*In mind* im ashamed to go back like this..I prefer to die then go back empty handed..

AVTANDILI

*in mind* how could he be a vision? He was real..he beated people!

AVTANDILI

*in mind* and if he is devil..how can I not find him? Just as long as he exists as human or devil, it's possible to find him..

AVTANDILI

*in mind* but how!!

His head was aching, everything was frustrating him.

AVTANDILI

*In mind* I don't have hope of finding him anymore..it's better to die here..

AVTANDILI

*in mind* I have warned shermadin already..if I won't be back in 3 years..he will go and declare my death..

AVTANDILI

*in mind* yeah..it's better like that..how can I go back and marry her majesty when I can't even do her order!

He was worried..he wanted to give up..but he still continued..deep down he still had hope..

AVTANDILI

*going over mountains, forests , still searching*

AVTANDILI

*in mind* what have I done to you God? Did I sin too much..why aren't you reliving my pain?

AVTANDILI

*in mind* you are still giving me pain..and cure seems nowhere to be found..

AVTANDILI

*in mind* I can't even change whatever you have planned for my life..at least give me strength to bear it!

Tinatin again came to his mind..

AVTANDILI

*imagining going back to her*

AVTANDILI

*stands in front of Tinatin as he got back*

TINATIN

*looking at him with hope and curiosity in eyes*

Her presence was bright..she was shining! After all that what her name meant..tinatin.. bright light that shines wherever she stands, looks or walks!

TINATIN

avtandil! Where is that unknown knight? Did you not find him?

AVTANDILI

*comes out of his imagination as tears fell*

AVTANDILI

*in mind* crying won't fix anything..

AVTANDILI

*comes down from mountain, now passing rivers*

As he passed, he looked around him..there was no humans nearby him!

Only wild animals..that attacked on him..

But wild animals were nothing..he wasn't scared of them at all. Defeating them like a hero..he sat to eat

AVTANDILI

*let's his horse eat nearby at field as he makes fire for himself, cooking meat on it*

as he was done he sew few men nearby.. holding one man in their arms..

AVTANDILI

*takes his arrow and goes to them in hope of them knowing something about unknown knight*

as he walked to them..he smiled.. confident, strong..brave!

AVTANDILI

greetings brothers! I thought you guys were thiefs..!

three prince

don't be scared brother! We three are not thiefs but princes from khataetis kingdom!

AVTANDILI

And who is this injured man?

three prince

Thia is our youngest brother! we came across a bad luck!

Avtandil got Curious..he wanted to know what had happened.. maybe it was something that would help him find knight in panter's skin?

three prince

oh brother you don't know! we are cursing ourselves!

They started telling him what had happened..

three prince

We three came here for hunting..with lot of our warriors!

three prince

We wanted to know who is the best hunter among us..we asked our knights to leave and started hunting!

three prince

At that time, some unknown man showed up!

AVTANDILI

three prince

We still don't know..he was wearing skin of panther! riding black horse and looking heavenly handsome!

AVTANDILI

!!! *in mind* it's him!!

three prince

We wished to see him..make him come with us..now I wish we didn't come here for hunting at all!

three prince

our youngest brother went to him calmly..and that man took out his whip!

three prince

He beated us..but my brother! Look at him! he looks dead! *pointing at his youngest brother*

three prince

I have never seen such violent man!

three prince

he didn't even bother to ask or say anything! he beated us and left calmly!

three prince

Look at him! He is leaving so calmly and slowly! Is he disrespecting us or what!

three prince

*pointing at unknown man riding black horse far away*

three prince

At least disappear fastly! * looking at that man*

AVTANDILI

*unknowingly smiles in brightness as he was happy*

AVTANDILI

Brothers! there is my camp fire and food! I'm giving it to express my gratitude! You don't know what you did just now! *jumps on his horse*

AVTANDILI

May God protect you from any future harm! * fastly rides It to catch up with the knight*

three prince

*watches him ride away* what did we do..?

Avtandil followed knight in panter's skin for two days and nights..

He was following secretly..not taking his eyes off him

He finally had catched him, there was no way that knight was getting away from him..

After following him for 2 days.. without any of them eating anything.. unknown knight finally stopped..

He passed river and stopped at entrance of a cave..while avtandil tied horse's leash on a tree.. following him quietly..

From the cave..woman dressed in black came out..

she hugged that man.. crying in his embrace

knight in panter's skin

*crying with her as he hugs her back*

They were crying for long as avtandil was watching in confusion..

Then they both entered the cave..not coming out until tomorrow

at morning, they again did same..came out , hugged and cried as knight left again..

asmati

*crying more as he had left*

asmati

*in mind* when will happiness find us?

AVTANDILI

*watching everything from a far*

AVTANDILI

*in mind* he will come back here..but this time he will meet me as well.

To be continued!
