CHAPTER 26:RUDRA, THE MAN BLESSED BY HEAVENS.

The ground was trembling and, the Licchavian army was approaching them with a speed which was beyond imaginable. However, like a pillar they stood to intercept the rising storm. 

"Assault!!!!! My soldiers!!!!!", shouted Rudra. 

That moment Rudra remembered everything that has ever happened in his life

20 YEARS AGO

"Where is my son Rudra?," asked a woman. 

"Don't know", said a stranger. 

The woman was paranoid over losing her son in the market, roaming around it seamlessly. 

"RUUUDARRAAAA!!!!!!", called the woman. 

CCCCRAAAAAASSSSHHHHH!!!!!! A man came flying due to the impact of someone's punch and crashed before the woman onto the ground. 

"Is he a monster?", said a shopkeeper. 

"That punch, is he one of them, the man blessed by the heavens!!", asked another man. 

"A boy of 14 years, this is unimaginable", said a man. 

The woman heard all of this and shouted," RUUDDDRAAAA!!!"

"YESSSS MOTHERRRR!!!!", a sound emerged amidst that multitude of people. 

"Mr. please say what happened here, and why is my son fighting like this?!!!", asked the woman. 

"Yeah a few while ago a shopkeeper was hitting a girl of 14 years in the middle of the market, she was a worker in his shop. The man was drunk", said the man. 

"AAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!", shouted a man amidst that crowd. 

The woman entered the crowd, she was startled by the blood in the ground. Amidst that pandemonium Rudra stood like a lion who had feasted on its prey!!!

"Yuu Ha, are you okay?", asked Rudra. 

"Rudra, you are bleeding!!", replied Yuu Ha with great fear and sorrow. 

"Rudra come here now!!!!", shouted the woman. 

"I am coming mother", replied Rudra.

"Yuu Ha, come... come back to our village there is no need to work in some place like this. Live with you grandmother," said Rudra. 

"But.... I don't have," said Yuu Ha and that moment Rudra held her by her hands and ran towards his mother.

"Rudra!!! My son!! what were you doing??!!!", asked the mother. 

"I was protecting her mother", replied Rudra. 

"Anyway Yuu Ha return to the village with us!!", said the mother. 

They walked over long distances, for 2 days along the changing landscape and finally reached the lush green village of Chendropidaw 

"Thank you Rudra", said Yuu Ha. 

"Yuu Ha dear you don't have to work anymore, that man won't take you for any forced labor anymore!! You can live peacefully", said the mother. 

"Lets play tomorrow Yuu Ha", said Rudra. 

Both of them gave their farewells and left. 

AFTER 1 DAY

"Yuu Ha, where are you?", shouted Rudra in front of Yuu Ha's house. 

"Huh? what is that?", asked Rudra and he stepped into the house. 

He got startled by seeing her grandmother on the ground. He kept his finger below her nose, there was no breath!!

Adjacent to her, there was something, a piece of paper. "What is this piece of paper?", asked Rudra. 

The paper read," Please help my grand daughter!! She has been taken away by a group of rebels for inappropriate intentions. Please save her, this is the dying wish of an old hag!!"

"Yuu Ha was taken!!!", shouted Rudra. 

He ran out of the house, a drop of water fell on his nose. There started a downpour, the puzzled Rudra stood in that rain, it felt like a waterfall of despair for him. 

A girl who works hard everyday, pushing herself beyond her limits to help her grandmother had to face a fate like this. 

AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!

He heard a scream, from the direction of his house. 

That moment his mind was taken over by his desperation, he ran under the clouds, in that melancholy rain. 

He reached his house, and there stood one of the rebels, his mother was on the ground, stabbed with a knife on her abdomen, blood gushing out. 

The rebel was killing her by making her suffocate, he kept his leg on her neck. She was struggling, and in a few moment the struggle stopped, her movements ceased, that moment Rudra saw his mother dying before him. 

The desperation that had already taken over his mind, changed into something called 'Rage'. The rage to kill all of the rebels!!!

That moment his body moved by its own, clenching his fists, sprouting his veins. 

CRAAAAAAASSSSSSSHHHHH!!!!!

"Hey....!!! What are you!!!! How did you hold me by my neck and do this!!!!!", asked the man with great fear. 

"People used to call me a boy blessed by the heavens, but I was rather the opposite, a man blessed by the hell!!!!", shouted Rudra. 

"The number of people and their location, tell!!", interrogated Rudra. 

"Ha Ha!! Like I will... Oi what are you gonna...", before the man completed what he was saying, a hand grasped his neck. And a fist appeared out of the blue

PUUUUUCNNNNNHHHHHHH!!!!!

The impact of that led to the man breaking his neck!!! 

"Don't kill me!!! I have a daughter!!! I am the only guardian for her!!!". begged the man. 

" Huh? You have a daughter? Well that's a good information!! How about I kill her!!!!", asked Rudra possessed by his rage. 

That moment, the man took his fist to punch Rudra. 

CRRRRRRAAAAAACKKKK!!!!!

Rudra broke the man's arm, and punched one of his eyes. 

"The number of people and location that's the only thing I need. Or else I will be the one to show your daughter hell!!!", declared Rudra.

"No!!! No!!! She was taken to the mountains!!! To have pleasure!!", said the man. 

CRAAAAAACKKKK!!!!

Rudra broke the man's neck again, in that instant when he heard that. The man died. 

Rudra dashed towards the mountains, running along the fields. That day everything felt black for him. It was as if he was running along hell itself!!

Ascending the mountains, he heard the scream

"Nooo!!!! Noo!!! Please leave me!!!", screamed Yuu Ha. 

The rage inside him completely consumed his mind, that moment Rudra became the true incarnation of devil himself.
