RED MUSHROOMS

"Lady, actually he took a bite of that red mushroom"

"What? I already told that the mushrooms might be poisonous. Why did he eat it?"

Suddenly the knight turned in to a beast. He become a dinosaur like T-Rex and started attacking us. Soon I threw one of the bottles at him. After that he fell down unconscious.

"Stella, now I understand everything. The people here are beasts in nature, they went vigorous after consuming the mushrooms, that's it"

"But, aaranya, how did the knight turned in to that form? Is he a beast in nature?"

"Haha, stella what do you think? All people you met in the world of beasts are beasts in nature. Atur is the most powerful beast among them. He is a yazhi, have you read about yazhi in our ancient literature?"

"Wow, I do. Is the crown prince yazhi? After returning to the world of beasts please ask him to show me his true form. I'm very keen to see his true form"

I hadn't replied to stella. I simply moved away from her. She followed me quietly. The little boy picked us to the house which was situated alone in the middle of nowhere.

"Hey, boy, who lives here?"

"Lady, my grandpa used to live here. Before famine this place was a beautiful garden but now it looked like a deserted place"

We slowly entered in to the house. We found a old man lying on the floor. The boy rushed towards the old man. I went near him to look him closer. The old man looked too weak, his body was too lean like a stick. Stella examined his body.

"Aaranya, we must feed him or he might die due to hunger"

We fed him some of the fruits we brought for us. After an hour, he gained some energy to sit. He looked at me with strange gaze.

"Grandpa, are you alright?"

"Taka, my grandson, I thought that you too consumed the mushroom and gone mad. Happy to see you in right mind"

"No, grandpa, I too consumed it. They are the one who saved me. They also saved many of our people"

He again looked me and questioned, "How did you cure our people?"

"I just make them to smell jasmine"

"Ah, jasmine the flower that our god loves a lot"

"What? who's your god?"

"You are the person of god. You came here to save us"

"What? stella, what's this old man blabbering?"

"I will take you to some place. Please follow me"

We all followed the old man. He took us to a building which was built by huge stones. The walls of the stones are carved with words. We went inside the building. The interior almost looked like a temple. There existed a sanctum sanctorum. I went near it to look inside. There was a huge spherical stone inside the sanctum sanctorum. The spherical stone had a pair of eyes and a lips engraved on it. The eyes were closed.
