Chapter-14

She walked out of the alley and came back with some food and water for them. The smell of the food enticed them, they circled and grabbed the food from her and distributed it among them. They acted like hungry wolves after hunting their prey. She sat close to the alley, observing them.

"Lord... you are fluctuating!!?"

"Nilay, I know... But they remind me of the early night tribe... our helplessness when no one... hmmm..."She sighed.

"Lord, then the temple?"

"We will go... after settling this. We have enough years left."

"Then...; what do you plan about them?"

"I plan on adopting them."

"Lord!! they..."

"Nilay, at first I planned to spend the rest of the years near the temple; But now... I want to give them a bright tomorrow."

She stood and went near them as they finished the food she brought. They all gathered near her. They were about 20 children.

She said in a loud and determined voice, "If I give you a place to stay and a chance to study, are you willing?" The children looked at her, their eyes flaring with resolution.

"The human realm??" 

"If she wanted to hide back then and that too in the human realm, no one would find her," Nirav spoke with a serious face.

"This is just a doubt with the theory that she escaped and used the chaos to remain hidden," Bhavin said aiming at Nirav.

"I know... it's just a theory.

But even then, no one considered the human realm as her disappearance caused a stir in all other realms."

"But even if it is true how are we going to prove it? It's almost 2000 years. The human realm has changed." Adhyant responded, expressing uncertainty.

"By finding her traces. 

I am sure, her traces won't escape from my golden feather."
