I will help you

In the valley....

A boy was was sitting on a mat made by rocks. His eyes were closed but his awareness was very high compared to before. A small tornado of sand was all around him. His skin that was fair in color that sometimes gave an impression of a very fade golden colour. It had been only a month since he started adjusting to his new capabilities and understanding the essence of Earth. But he felt like now he had reached an impasse. Then he heard two people coming inside the valley. Valley was resonating with him. After his meditation here and after getting the earth essence he felt like he could feel the earth around him and it's every movement. But as this valley was created by earth essence itself he could feel the whole valley. When they finally reached him then he slowly opened his eyes and smiled.

They were prince Pranay and holy princess Sara. Sara was amazed by the small tornado of sand that had vanished when shiva opened his eyes. It was supposed to be a work of atleast middle level mystic. But what she didn't know was that the sand tornado was not formed by shiva. But when shiva was meditating the sand of the valley itself was rotating around him willingly. It was something very different from the common rule of bending elements to your own will. It was more like a mutual respect for other. There was no force involved and it was a very gentle handling of elements.

Prince and Sara sat down beside him as prince finally broke the silence,"I was planning to come after 2 month but due to some incident I had to come here early itself. I came early because I wanted to discuss something."

Even though shiva was just around 11-12 and he looked like 16-17 but a freshness of youth was always around him. He shifted his gaze to the new guest and said in a very polite tone," I am shiva and you might have heard all about me from the prince already."

Sara's mind was too preoccupied in thoughts but the calm voice of the boy dragged her from her daydreaming to the present. A boy not tainted by arrogance even though he had accomplished too much at a very young age. It was her first time seeing shiva but his calm words made her feel like she can easily approach the boy. And she was really thinking about what good deed sun Dynasty did in the past so that this boy was born there. But only few people knew that shiva was adopted.

Sara finally took off her veil that was covering her perfect face. She just thought that it was rude to speak to someone like Shiva while wearing a mask. But shiva's eyes were same as before and no change at all. Her beauty didn't affect him. Even the prince was shocked for a minute when he saw her for the first time but shiva was like a monk. No beauty could affect him. What shiva saw was not her beauty but deep sadness and pain written all over her face. And he could feel that the lady had been keeping some pain inside for so long. He knew a sad story was hidden beneath the beautiful face. And this time Sara was really shocked. Even though she was a kind and good hearted lady. But deep down she also liked the fact that she was the most beautiful women in whole saint Dynasty. It was an ego at the subconscious level. But looking at shiva's expression her ego was shattered. What he saw was not some goddess like beauty but a person that is not happy. He had also gone through a lot of pain. He knew it must have been difficult for her keeping it all in. But there was neither sympathy in his eyes nor pity. His eyes were clear representing that no amount of sympathy and pity can change her real situation. It will only make her less of a human and will only make her feel inferior.

"I will assist you",shiva finally spoke. No sympathy, no pity but only action.He had declared his help even before knowing the root cause of her pain. It was a help without undermining the recipient.

Sara felt like this is it. She didn't want someone's pity. She wanted someone who can understand it as it is and can assist her. Tears started falling from her eyes as she told her story to the shiva. He listened patiently till the end and smiled. She was confused at first. Shiva spoke,"I have never yet seen such determined person who didn't give up even in the worst of the situation.You are very brave Sara."

Someone has seen her in new light even after listening to all reality about her.Now she knew why prince said that only shiva can bring the downfall of dynasties. Prince also smiled and told all about his training and how he feel like he is near some breakthrough but sometimes it feel within his reach and sometimes very far.

Meanwhile...

Second prince carriage was approaching the valley of falling rocks. He was also anticipating a good fight with the this new kid who is told to be the most talented person this world has ever known. This carriage was followed by a shadow horse. Horse was emitting a dark aura. It's eyes were burning fire. A man was riding this shadow horse. He was wearing animal skin to cover his privates and apart from it he was without clothes. And all the animals will run away in fear when they see the Shadow horse approaching them.

An another white horse was also approaching the valley. It gave an impression of holy beast. The man riding this horse was covered in shining heavy armor. He was the trusted subordinate of golden prince and was from the Sattva headquarter.
