The Narrow Lane

Everyone had paid their bills now and were ready to leave the place, but before that, they went near to their friend. Everyone surrounded Hordon and was talking to him on various topics---like his restaurant, his hospitality, and many more but, the dusty clothes man hadn't left the place till now. However, he had already finished his dinner and requested the bill. Hordon's mother had been attending him till now, so, upon his request, she went to the counter, took the bill from there and went towards him to give it. She handed over the bill to him and said, "Sir, here you go. You can pay either in cash or by card as per your wish "with a closed and happy expression.

He replied, "Thanks" and turned back on his table and opened the bill to see the written amount in it that he had to pay. However, in the meantime, the discussions among Rohan's group had already been over and they bid Hordon goodbye by waving their hands on the way and began to leave the place in a body. However, the man was glancing frequently, looking at them from time to time as they left the building from that glass door. It seemed that something was running up and down in his mind all this time. But anything couldn't be guessed by seeing his face as it was fully covered.

On the other hand, at the mothership of Cizilians, something surprising happened. Everything was running at the usual pace when it was interrupted by a search team's findings.

On the deck, a hologram screen opened up containing a tiger-like appearance but with white colour and grey stripes but was not like the earth's one as it was standing on its two hind legs. He even had closed eyes. He was the leader of the search party assigned to the solar system.

"It's the head of the search party A, Yagora, here." as he opened his green eyes with black colour eye pupils.

The head of the mothership's engineers said, "It's Malia here, the head secretary and engineer of the mothership. What is it Yagora? Have you been able to detect anything about that? " She was a tiger as well, but she had green fur with white stripes on her body. In addition to that, she looked really serious and beautiful as a tigress and had orange colour eye pupil.

"Affirmative Madam. You have guessed it right. Recently, our scanners had received a strong signal from a planet about the activated powers of the black suit in this system. " Everyone on the deck began whispering among themselves as they were quite surprised and were finally able to detect that weapon. On hearing the news, everyone seemed to be quite happy, except her. She said, "Where?"

"Near the heavenly star Sun, the third one, I have been informed that it was called the blue planet, Earth. About 350 light-years away from the mother ship in the direction of 483 trions. "

"Ok! Yagora. It was a great piece of information. I will immediately pass it on to our chief. "

"OK! Yagora out, "he said with closed eyes again and the screen diminished until it went out totally.

She thought, "I must immediately report it to the head. I should hurry" and began to walk out of the deck in haste.

However, on the other side of our beautiful and peaceful Earth, Rohan and his gang were walking towards their home collectively. They were nearly tired as their stomachs were full and energy were almost zero. They enjoyed themselves in the mall to their heart's content. Nevertheless, the fear was completely erased from their faces and they now looked as if nothing had happened to them in the recent past. The horror memories of the terrorists have nearly gone away. Notwithstanding, Rohan didn't seem to have any change in his behaviour, though he had defeated those fearful terrorists by himself. It seemed to be his other nature.

All of them were walking slowly until the divider path appeared in front of them. All of them stood in front of it. There were two ways, one going towards Rohan's house and the other going towards the house of the rest of the members of his gang. Simon turned back to Rohan and said, "OK, so see you two tomorrow at school..."

He replied, "Ay. See you all tomorrow as well. Our time spent in the mall and the restaurant was great! "with a smile.

The rough one said again, "Hey, don't forget about my proposal."

These words made him filled with horror, "That one?!" he said in a low voice.

"Yeah... please do not deny me..." He quickly went towards him, held his hands together and made glittering eyes as if he was making his earnest request. However, Rohan couldn't deny him in any case, since those eyes were unavoidable and his accepting nature. On second thought, the one who seemed to be insulting him had not been requesting him for training. This was a positive point due to which he agreed.

Suman said, "Ok then, BYE!" and the rest of them said as well, "Bye!" Some with closed eyes and some with open eyes and one with glittering eyes, but all with the same smiling faces. The two bid them by as well, by waving their hands. After some time, the other gang members disappeared from that road. Sumina turned towards Rohan and said, "So we may go as well, brother."

"Yes," he replied by looking towards that road, turned to his own way and both of them went on the path to their home. Suddenly, on the way home, Rohan felt something, some magical essence, strong but protected. He should sense such because of the capabilites given by the black suit. It seemed to him as if someone was watching them from the back. He immediately turned around to catch him but there was no one. Viewing that his brother was no more in her side, she turned around to find him and saw he was looking on the way from where they were travelling. Also, she noticed his unusual behaviour again, Sumina asked, "Is there anyone else here?" by looking towards the direction in which her brother was looking.

He replied, "No... I think it was just a hallucination. Let's get going. " he turned back on his original path and went on. Without asking any more questions, Sumina said, "OK" and she turned back as well and began to walk towards home. However, this time there was someone else on the road. A man was present there who swiftly crept behind a pole so that he wouldn't be caught by Rohan. He even succeeds in doing so. Without giving it a second thought, both of them continued on their path.

In the meantime, while walking, Sumina said, "Hey brother..." while looking down on the road and slightly red face. He asked without turning towards her, "What is it?" with his normal tone. She replied, "I want to thank you for saving me from that big man at that restaurant."

"Ah... sister, don't worry about it. As long as I am there with you, I will let none do any wrong with you. " by turning towards her while walking. He had a smiling face with closed eyes and white teeth as he opened his mouth. These words had a great impact on Sumina as they had even increased her love for him by leaps and bounds and felt as if she was safer with him. She replied by looking towards her brother by saying, "Thanks." then both of them turned back on their road and continued on their journey. Suddenly, something happened unexpectedly...

After walking a distance, Rohan felt as if he was alone. He said, "Hey Sumina..." while turning towards her on his left, but she was not there at all now. He got surprised and shouted, "Sister?" by looking around by turning his head. Out of the blue, his eyes fell on a figure which seemed to be stuck on the way. It seemed to him that she resembled his sister greatly so he went near him. Suddenly he felt a strong magic essence again but he didn't stop this time. When he reached there, he saw something really awful. His sister...

The figure was not resembling his sister but it was his sister only. She had been turned into something like a rock but not clearly, and the last expression that she bore was a happy face while crossing the lane. He couldn't feel her magical presence at all now and was in great horror seeing his sister turning into something like stone. At the same time, his eyes glided over the environment to search for help, but the thing that he could see was lamp posts, dust bin and the house at that place and none was on the road except for him and his sister. Suddenly, everything around him got darker and darker as if they were losing their colour at a great speed and after a second the thing that Rohan could see was a dark area in which he and his sister were. After some time even the dark area got coved with watery violet-like colour and the same made him filled with horror from top to bottom. He quickly glided his eyes around to ask for help but suddenly he saw something unusual. That narrow lane, which had not lost colour before which his sister was standing. Suddenly, he felt something from it, so he tried to connect with Wimon immediately. He asked," Wimon... What is happening here?" with the fear-filled face.

Wimon replied, "Do not worry stay calm and you will get your answers." He could now all at once began to sense a strong magical essence coming from that narrow lane. Two red eyes suddenly appeared out of the blues in that darkness. He was a little more frightened to see that presence, as well as those red coloured eyes and it, increased his horror exponentially. The presence slowly began to walk out of the darkness--step by step, slowly by slowly towards Rohan. Just when he kept his feet in the transition of light of the lamp which had shown the way into the darkness and darkness. Instantly, even that lane got covered in black and now everything was covered in watery violet colour. Moreover, the white light which fell on his face and made him covered it, had now faded. Like the other day, Rohan removed his covering from his face i.e. his right arm and on the other side, he found himself in a black chamber which was covered by watery violet colour earlier but now entirely black. Nothing was visible near him, only the visible thing was his sister and that figure's presence. Just when he removed his hands from his face and opened his eyes, he saw someone very familiar. The presence was nothing but that old dusty clothes man !!!

He was shocked from top to bottom to see that man again especially in front of him right now. It seemed that he had left the restaurant after the student gang had left it and was following them till now. There was a complete silence fell on the chamber but after some time Rohan broke it by starting the conversation with fear, "Don't tell me... So you were following us till now?"

The man nodded without any hesitation. He became more frightened by his behaviour as well as his powers as a magician and ultimately began to fall back. Suddenly, he realised that his sister had turned into stone by him and to turn her back to normal, he had talked to this man or else defeat him, if necessary. He raised his courage to a great extent for his sister and remembered that he had the support of Wimon. He asked with a fearless mindset now, "Who are you and what do you want?"

The man didn't reply and kept silent. They were staring at each other in their eyes. Suddenly the man knelt down with one leg and one hand on the floor and hung his head down. Rohan got surprised. He didn't expect such type of response rather he thought he had to fight him. He was somewhat surprised at this man's behaviour.

The man started his speech politeness, "Rohan, is it?" still looking down. Seeing that his opponent had a formal attitude, he got somewhat relieved of his fear. He straightened himself to carry out his formal attitude.

He replied with some hesitation, "Y-Yeah..."

"I am Geroge, the commander of the Vanguard of Earth's Magical Forces. I am highly honoured to meet you here, sir. " However, Rohan remained silent, he seemed to be out of his mind due to his unusual behaviour.

"I know that you are angry with my behaviour. As I have frozen your sister and brought you two into this dark dimension with force. I want to apologise to you for that since it was necessary at this time. "

He gathered his courage a little more and said, "Um... Why have you brought us here? ANd what is all of this about?"

"It's your greatness that you are acting as if you are nothing. But I am informed as well as confirmed about your whereabouts and your powers. Even your acton in that restaurant had made me believe about your greatness. I swear by my faith that such a power has never been born on our planet till now and it might never be. I know my lord about that mysterious weapon that you possess and your capabilities. I am now relieved that The Legendary Black Suit is acquired by you and is now in safe hands. "

Rohan got surprised. he thought," How could he know about Wimon?"

"Um... Please stop giving me so much respect and raise your head" he said.

"As you say, my lord." and he raised his head and again stood upon his position.

Rohan continued, "First of all, could you please explain to me --- what you are doing and why you are giving me so much respect?"

"As you say, My Lord! I will try to full fill your wish as best as I can. " with closed eyes and with the same or more respect.
