Chapter 2 _A hard decision

4/1/3,228 BCE (12:00 AM)

SOUTHERN MALA "ANANDA VILLAGE"

Random people's in-crowd, person 1 _ "chief Bhishma looks very terrified ."

Person 2_"What is inside that smoke ."

Person 3_"It must be something dangerous ".

Slowly the smoke was cleared. The entire crowd went silent from what they saw.

Even for a moment, Bhishma couldn't want to believe what he saw there. In the middle of all the destroyed fields on the burning land, there was a child. A child who was glowing like an eternal light in the starless night.

People's in the crowd, person 1 _ "What the hell is that".

Person 2_ "Hey stay away from it, don't get too close."

Person 3_" That child is the reason for all this destruction."

Person 4_". Kill that child before he will do any more harm to the village."

The villagers were very terrified. The child was shining strangely and that made villagers even more terrified. Bhishma was standing still. He wasn't moving his body, not for an inch. When village elders went to Bhishma to take his opinion about the situation. he was standing there speechless. He didn't have words to describe the situation.

Village elders _ "Bhishma what's your opinion about this situation. What should we do right now? You are the leader of this village so you have to guide us. ... . to lead us, in this difficult time.

Bhishma _ " I never sense this kind of strange and vast amount of prana in any living organism yet so far ."

"And for a child to have this much prana is impossible ."

People from the crowd, person 1_ "chief we should kill this child right now ."

Person 2_ " If we wait any longer then who knows what will happen ."

No matter how scared Bhishma was but his mortal's never let him kill a child just because they are afraid of it.

Bhishma _ "No we can't kill this child. And even if we do kill this child, then God will never forgive us for committing such a felony. Children are the form of god."

Parikshit _ "What are you saying, dad. If we let this child live then, the village will be in great danger soon."

Bhishma was terrified but, after taking a deep breath he decided to went towards the child.

Bhishma was slowly moving towards the child. As soon as the distance between him and the child began to decrease, his fear began to dissipate and he suddenly felt calmness and peace in his heart.

Bhishma (inside his mind, with echo voice)_"What is this feeling, why didn't I feel fear anymore, why suddenly I am feeling so good, what is this. Why my body is moving on its own, why I can't stop myself ."

It was like magic and he was amazed by this. He picked up the baby in his arm.

_ "chief stay away from that child . He can harm you ".

Parikshit _ " Dad please throw that child away and get out of there, dad please stay away from that thing ."

But Bhishma wasn't listening to them. It was like he was deaf for a moment. He was continuously looking at the child in his arms. On close inspection, he found out that, the child was a boy. The boy gave a smile to Bhishma. And that smile gave Bhishma never-ending happiness which was reflecting from his face.

Bhishma _" See there is nothing to be afraid of. This child is completely harmless ."

_" But chief he harmed many people's and he almost destroyed our fields."

_ " if there is nothing to be afraid then why is that child shining ."

Bhishma _ "We can't change what has happened but we can correct it. And this child is shining because maybe he has something divine in him. Maybe he is a gift of the god.

_ " We don't believe this ."

_" The child who caused this much destruction cannot be a gift of god ."

Village elders _ "Bishma this is only your beliefs and we can't risk the future of the village, just based on your beliefs ."

But Bhishma didn't want to leave the child from his arm. It was like magic a few seconds ago bishma was so afraid of the child that he didn't want to go near him, but now he didn't want to let the child get away from him.

Bishma _ " If that's the matter then......

(Bishma shouting towards the sky ) _ I BHISHMA SON OF DEVRAT SWEAR'S TO PROTECT THE ANANDA VILLAGE TILL MY LAST BREATH. ANYONE WHO WILL TRY TO HARM THIS VILLAGE HAS TO FACE MY WARTH, EVEN IF IT WILL SOMEONE VERY CLOSE TO ME."

_ "FROM THIS MOMENT I WILL TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS CHILD AND IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO THE VILLAGE SHORTLY THEN I WILL BE THE ONE WHO WILL RESPONSIBLE FOR IT ."

The entire crowd went silent in front of Bhishma's voice.

Bishma _ " Even after this ........ if anyone tries to harm this child then, ...... they have to pass my dead body before hurting him ."

In the entire village, nobody had enough courage to stand against the bishma because he was the strongest in his village.

Bishma _" please believe in me, I will never go back on my word. I will protect this village till my last breath. So please don't harm the child ."

Bhishma's word's had a great impact on the villagers. Now villagers are slowly believing in him.

Village elders _" Ok then Bhishma, we are allowing this boy as a member of this village. But if in the future, we sense any signs of danger from him. Then he will be executed, at the same time and in the same place without any arguments.

Bishma _ "Thank you very much, sir, I am giving you my word that day will never come ."

Village elders _" You better be right ."

Parikshit _ " Ok dad, if you are going to adopt him then give him a name ."

Bishma _ " Ok then let see Mmmmm. Omkar ."

Parikshit _ "What ."

Bishma _" From now on this world will know him as Omkar ."

Bishma was very happy from inside. But he didn't know the reason for this happiness. He was happy to save a child which, he met a few hours later. But their happiness wasn't last long.

In outer space, there is already someone who senses this prana on earth. But Bhishma wasn't aware of the upcoming danger which may destroy their lives forever.

Unknown voice 1_ " One of Karasu's parts has fallen on Earth, we must conquer it at any costs ."

Voice 2 _ "But my lord the maharishis will be our greatest obstacle on earth ."

Voice 3 _ "This kind of coward doesn't suit you Daksha. My Lord gives me a chance I will not disappoint you. I will bring you that part of Karasu.

Voice 1 _ " Daksha is indeed right. The maharishis will be our great obstacle on earth. Are you sure that you can do this?"

Voice 3 _ " My lord, I will not disappoint you, I give you my word, my lord next time when I will be here then I will be here with him, or else I will never show you my face.

Voice 1 _ " Your bravery is indeed praiseworthy ...

..... Mmmmm, well then go bring me that part of Karasu .... salya ."

Voice 3 ( inside his mind ) _ No matter how brave and powerful are you salya. You are underestimating the maharishis, their powers are beyond your understanding capabilities, you shouldn't underestimate them, mainly don't underestimate him. The warrior of the sun.
