Chapter 4-Kaala Agni Ki Sacchail"

(Scene: Ek purani shamshaan bhoomi, jisme hawa ekdum bhaari hai. Charon taraf puraane

vriksh hain, jinpar kale kauwe baith kar jaise kisi ka intezaar kar rahe hain. Beech me ek bada havan kund hal, jisme ab bhi bhasm jal rahi hai. Aarav behosh pada hai, uske haath ab bhi Kaala Agni ki garmi mehsoos kar rahe hain. Anaya uske paas baithi hai, uska chhota sa Jal-Mudra use thoda thanda kar raha hai.)

[Shamshaan Bhoomi Aarav aur Anaya

(Aarav dheere dheere apni aankhein kholta hai.

Uska sir tez dukh raha hai. Jaise hi uski yaadash wapas aati hai, uska dil tez dhadakne lagta hai-Rudra Samaell)

Aarav (tezi se uthne ki koshish karta hai): "Woh... woh kahan gaya?! Rudra Samael!"

Anaya (use zabardasti neeche bithate hue): "Arre nuk ja! Tu abhi ladne layak nahi hai!"

(Aarav uske haath hataane ki koshish karta hai, lekin uske sharir me ab bhi Kaala Agni ki jalan hai. Uske haath ek ajeeb si kaali chhaya me lapet chuke hain.)

Aarav (shock me, apne haathon ko dekhta hai): "Yeh kya ho raha hai?! Yeh cheez hat kyun nahi rahi?!"

(Anaya uske haathon ko ghoorti hai, uski aankhon me ek ajnabi dar dikhai deta hai.)

Anaya (gambhir awaaz me): "Yeh sirf ek shakti nahi hai, Aarav... yeh ek shraap hai."

Aarav (hairan hoke)

*Shraap?

(Anaya uske samne ek chhoti si moorti rakhti hai. Woh ek praachin devta ki murti hai, jiska ek haath aag aur doosra andhkaar se ghira

hai.)

Anaya:

"Sadiyon pehle, ek Rakshak Sant the-Rishi Agnivardhan. Unhone ek bhayankar Rakshas ko haraaya tha, jiska naam Raktaj tha.

Aarav (halki awaz me). "Raktaj... yahi naam mujhe sunaayi diya tha."

Anaya (haan bharti hai):

"Haan, kyunki ab woh tere andar hai."

(Aarav ek dum se seedha baithta hai. Uska sans tez ho jata hai. Woh apne haath firse dekhta hai, jisme Kaala Agni dheere dheere aur gehra ho raha tha.)

Anaya:

"Raktaj ek aatma nahi hai... woh ek Vinaashak

Atma hai. Jab Rishi Agnivardhan ne use haraaya, toh usse seal kar diya gaya tha. Lekin jo bhi Shakti Seal todta hai, woh us shakti ka agla shikar ban jaata hai"

(Aarav ka dimaag tez tez chal raha tha. Usse samajh aa raha tha ki uske saath kuch aur bhi

ho raha tha-woh sirf Kaala Agni ka malik nahi tha, woh ek Rakshas ki atma ka vaahan bhi ban chuka thal)

Aarav (dheere se, khud se):

"Matiab... agar maine isse control nahi kiya toh main bhi ek Rakshas ban jaunga?"

Anaya (serious tone me): "Nahi. Agar tune ise control nahi kiya, toh tu

sirf mar jayega. Kyunki Kaala Agni sirf ek insaan ko nahi jhel sakta-yeh tujhe andar se kha jayega."

(Ek dum se, Aarav ko sirf andhkaar dikhai

dene lagta hai. Uska sharir ek ajeeb si bhoj mehsoos karta hai. Uski aankhein dheere dheere laal hone lagti hain. Uske andar ek dusri awaaz gunjne lagti hai~)**

Raktaj (andar se aati awaaz, ek bhayanak hasi

ke saath):

"Toh ab tujhe sacchai pata chal rahi hai, Aarav Sen. Ab tu sirf ek insaan nahi raha... tu mera

awaas ban chuka hai!"

(Ek dum se, Aarav tez cheekhta hai. Uska

sharir hila bhi nahi sakta, jaise koi use andar se control kar raha ho. Anaya ek dum peeche hat

hai)

Anaya (shock aur ghabrahat me): "Yeh ho kya raha hai?! Aarav!!"

(Aarav ab dheere dheere uthta hai, lekin uski

aankhein ab sirf laal hain. Uska pura sharir Kaala Agni me lipta hai. Uske andar se ek

teesri awaaz aati hai-jo na Aarav ki hai aur na

Raktaj ki.)

??? "Aakhirkar... ek naya sharir mil hi gaya."

(Anaya ek dum se trishool sword nikalti hai, par uske chehre par sirf dar hai.).

Anaya (andar hi andar)

"Yeh Aarav nahi raha... yeh kuch aur ban raha hail

(Aarav ya jo bhi ab uske andar hai, dheere se muskuraata hai Uske haath se Kaala Agni ki

talwaron ki shakal banne lagti hai. Woh Anaya ki taraf ek kadam aage badhata hai)

???

"Ek naye yudh ka samay ho chuka hai... ab sirf ek asli vijeta bachega

(Mandir ke bahar, kahin door Rudra Samael ye sab dekh raha hota hai. Uski aankhon me ek ajeeb si chamak hoti hai.)

Rudra Samael (dheere se):

"Yeh toh aur bhi behtareen ho gaya... ab asli khel shuru hoga

(Kya Aarav apni shakti ko wapas paa sakega? Ya fir woh sirf ek Rakshas ka vaahan bankar

duniya ke liye ek naye bhayankar vinaashak me badal jayega? Jaanne ke liye padte rahiye-Shakti The Seven Seals!)
