Devil's Whisper

Rug continued to beat Rudra, but not even a single scream escaped his mouth. His face was blank, lifeless eyes, his limp body got thrown around but didn't suffer much injury since Rug didn't want him to die.

This continued on for half an hour before stopping. Rug sat near a tree with Rudra in his right hand. The previous madness in his eyes receded a little. He went deep into thoughts to find a solution. He is, after all the most intelligent one among the three of the sane individual of Yogolueme race. He was also the one who came up with an idea to uproot a part of land to save his own kin.

An idea flashed through his mind. He brought Rudra's face near him and spoke-

" You want to revive your family, don't you? I can help you." Rug spoke in an amusing tone.

A light of hope flickered in Rudra's eyes. Rudra lifted his head and looked at Rug.

" I have a Revival stone which can bring the dead back to life."

" Hehe.... that's right. I can revive your family."

" Do you know why the other races hunted our race down? This revival stone is the sole reason of our races down fall. If you want I can give it to you."

Rug flicked his tongue out. He brought Rudra's ear near his mouth and spoke-

" Do you want to revive your family.?"

His voice slowly made made way into Rudra's mind like a true Devil's whisper.

Rudra's breathing hastened as he listened to his voice A streak of life appeared in Rudra's eyes. A slow whisper like voice escaped from Rudra's mouth.

" Y.. yyyes."

" Hm? I didn't hear you? Speak loudly." Rug spoke in a loud voice.

" Yes... Yes....YES." Rudra yelled loudly.

Hearing Rudra's response an eerie smile crept up on Rug's face.

" Now that's a response I wanted." Rug chuckled.

" But I can't give it to you for free now can I? You have to do something for me."

" Kill all the other 7 generals for me. I will give you what you desire the most."

Rug spoke and put Rudra down, He stood up and began to leave.

Rudra slowly lifted his head in Rug's direction and spoke-

" How can I trust you?"

Hearing this Rug came to a halt and turned his head around.

" I am speaking the truth. It's up to you if you trust me or not. I will come back here with the Revival stone in five days from now on, make your decision till then."

' Kuku.... I will give him a fake one then eat him alive, slowly slowly while he struggles to bring back his family with that duplicate stone. Aaahh.... I love this.'

' No matter how dumb he is, I need to find something which can deceive him.'

Rug left after answering back.

Phoenix city, USA

Human Base.

Rudra sat on the chair near a window in a room. His eyes kept staring into the distance through windows.

" Is what he said true?" He spoke in his mind.

" I don't know if what he said is true or not. But I do know that they have something of similar value. It's one of the reasons I participated in the war." The voice answered him in mind.

Rudra asked while staring into the distance.

" What should I do, master?"

" I don't know, may be he is right or it could be a trap," The voice speculated.

Rudra kept staring into the distance with the same lifeless look in his eyes.

" Can Zertaix kill him?"

" It will be a tough fight but yes he can. But you are forgetting something boy. The Revival stone he speaks of shouldn't be in his position. Afterall, he is just a general, if my guess is right then it should be in possession of Kuram."

Rudra went into deep thoughts after that.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day.

Terra and Kuram's battle came to an end. Kuram was heavily injured while Terra also also lost a lot of her authority. Finding an opportunity Kuram escaped from Terra and teleported using an artifact to USA near Yogolueme race's base.

Terra also teleported to the human base. After coming back, Terra held a long discussion about their situation with the 7 generals. Rudra was also invited, but he did not respond. After the meeting came to an end, Terra appeared in Rudra's room.

Rudra was sitting in the same position as before. He didn't even sleep. He was still staring into the distance with a lifeless look. Even after Terra appeared in his room, he did not turn back or gave any response.

Both were silent for a moment. Rudra asked in a slow voice while still staring into the distance.

" Why did you break our promise?"

Terra was silent for a moment before answering.

" I promised to protect your family as long as you are alive. The moment you entered the Dead sea I felt our connection got cut off. Which was only possible if you died. So I thought you were dead. Which means our promise ended there."

" She's clearly lying, I severed the soul connection after you woke up in the cave." The voice said.

Rudra processed what Terra said for a moment then asked immediately-

" H....how did they die?" His voice cracked for a moment but he quickly regained himself.

" Your father and mother both were killed by a monster, as for your brother, he died at the hands of Rug a general under Kuram the king of Prisoners."

" I see." Rudra said while still staring into the distance.

" Did you really not find anything?"(Terra)

" I just jumped in, searched around but did not find anything so I came out. But when I came up a year already passed by. There must be something in the Dead sea which can change the flow of time."(Rudra)

" You are really good at making up things, aren't you?" the voice said sarcastically in his mind.

This time Terra didn't try to form a soul connection with him as he was of no value to her. She disappeared again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Next day.

Two teams formed under Terra and Han Lei's command. Team 1 under Han Lei's command consists of Romario, Rurik(Anna's father), Moon Ae Ri and eight thousand soldiers who were the last remaining members of the Human race. Team 2 under Terra's command consists of Neon, Andrew, Anna, Aisha, Juliana. Team 1 will be in charge of attracting attention of two generals and other Yogolueme race. Team 2 will be in charge of killing Kuram. Since Kuram suffered heavy injuries in his previous fight with Terra, it won't be of much problem to kill him.

According to the reports submitted by the scouting devices. The Yogolueme race has created their base in the Kaibab National forest. It wasn't much of a surprise as the Yogolueme race is always hungry for food.

While all of this was happening, Rudra was still in his room. The whole base got to work to end this war for once and all.
