The Ugliest Ticking Time Bomb.

Everybody, so happy and continuously celebrating their prince's birthday for 2 days and 3 nights staright as a festival, unaware of the doom they are going to face in few days.

But one man 'Hamitra' knew whats coming.

'Hamitra' the man of wisdom, he knew all the secrets of the universe. And he was the only one who witnessed the spell being cast.

But the sight he experienced on the day of the divine feeding was so mighty, that he thought not to disclose the flaw in his mighty king's act of heroism. But he also could see into the future, but only through his dreams; and there was only one catch, he was the one to choose whether it was an intuition or an actual dream. And being alive since so long; that nobody knew exactly when was he born or how old he is; he had developed a state a total awareness by observation alone.

And even he knew, the episode he was dreaming since ages ain't no fairytale; and actually had meaning, a horrible one but a simple one; true destruction.

But he wasnt the only one getting larger than life dreams at the moment, even was the prince,

'Leo Jewel' the second.

But the only difference was Hamitra had nightmares and Leo had the best time of his life.

The moment when he met the love of his life, the women of his dreams finally was with him, but in his dream alone.

'I want to know more about you', these were the words he said everyday while he stood at the balcony with heavy breeze hitting his face, while he thinks to himself;

'Who is that girl?'

Like every other day he stood in his favorite spot, thinking about his favorite thought, reliving his favorite fantasy over and over again;

A limitless land covered in clouds, creatures so adorable, like they came right out of a fairy tale, and in between of all this stood the perfect woman. The girl who could rule the entire universe just by her presence; the girl who could even make stones move and adore her, the girl who stole the heart of the prince of Dion.

Leo slowly walked towards her, bowed and went down on his left knee and gently held the left hand of the marvelous beauty standing in front of him, and gently kissed on her hand; stood up and looked into her deep eyes and promised to stay with her forever, no matter what the cost. And had the perfect kiss...

Atleast that's how it is supposed to happen, but only the kiss was interrupted by Hamitra.

Hamitra finally decided to reveal the truth, because he knew that if there was somebody who had to know what was to come, it was Leo;

because he is the only man capable of defeating Cinn.

He narrated the entire thing to Leo. And Leo being the boy trained to keep his emotions to himself, even though he was dying of panic he let none of it come to his face.

"Hamitra!!!", Leo says in his deep voice, "You were right, people always intend to put the mistakes above the good deeds, Yes it was possible that the people who worship my late Grandfather today, and recognize him as the man who saved the kingdom; could turn into the people who hate him and see him as the man who brought Cinn back to the mortal realm; but, the fact stays... You were wrong."

Hamitra with his eyes filled up looks down in shame.

Leo continues, "You were wrong to assume that his own people will go along with that route, here's what would have happened, grandpa could have been still the hero who saved the land and people would still respect his bravery and worship him; but also they would have been prepared for what's about to come. But still it's just a possibility...the real question is why me?"

Hamitra looks up and smiles and says 'Why me?!?'

"What's the reason?", Leo asks.

Hamitra looks straight into Leo's eyes and says in one go, "The same reason why you were named 'Leo Jewel' the Second and not your father."

Leo still unsatisfied looks at Hamitra.

Hamitra continues, "Simply put you are the savior who's been appointed to perform this duty".

Leo still shook to his core takes a gulp of nervousness.

He looks at the sky and just screams for a while,

and then in his natural confident charm he asks,

"So when exactly is our friend coming to visit?"

Hamitra shares all the details.

Leo mentally prepares himself and takes the decision of not letting anyone other than himself and Hamitra to know about the situation and announce the grandest festival humanity has ever seen; The festival of Black feather.

which was stretched for 12 days with 2 days of preparation and the main attraction was to happen in the end of the festival, the fight between Leo and Cinn which none of the people knew.

Even in between all this chaos Leo couldn't resist revisiting the fantasy. Which makes him even motivated and gets his head in the right space.

A barrier is constructed over the borders of the kingdom on the seaside, advertised as the ground on which the final display will take place. But little did the people know this might not just be the last day of the festival, but also the last day of their lives.

"What's the probability of victory?", Leo asks.

Hamitra replies with a '5 percent'.

Leo laughs and says, "That's reassuring".

People are having a blast in the unexpected grand festival by the prince. While Leo's busy standing on the balcony.

"Now only time can tell what happens..."

Hamitra says while he approches the prince.

Still facing outside Leo replies with a smile, "Dont you think The prince of Dion is capable of saving his own kingdom."

Hamitra coughs and says in his old deep voice, "I dont think, victory is going to be ours..."

Leo turns his head exactly parallel to his left shoulders and stares Hamitra sideways.

Hamitra continues with a smile, "...because I KNOW, the victory is ours."

Leo laughs, looks at the sky and slowly says,

"I really hope it is".
