Tailer walked up
the stairs into the hall and went forward past a door into the veranda. He
placed his hands on the wooden parapet which seems to be more than 1000 years
old; yet seeing its superlative strength Tailer concluded it to be built by
some glorious empire. He sighed at the beauty of nature in front of him. It was
a beautiful scenery. He could get a good sight of the surrounding from his
position as the veranda is protruded outward from the building. In front of him
he could see an infinite number of strange yet awesome looking trees which
blocked him to see further deep into the forest. To his both side stood a row
of some strange tree which stood as if a wall. It has yellow trunk and light
green leaves which seems to be glowing. These rows of trees seem to be a
natural border! The border to the well-developed land of humans and some
mysteries; the mysteries which are seldom known to people. He gazed forward
again; the thick forest was glowing, he amazed ‘what type of leaves these trees
are having?’. At that time his gaze fell on a plant which is on the ground
below the veranda which he is standing. It is having a pentagon shaped red flower
head. An attractive butterfly with glowing blue wings that has many patterns in
it was resting on it. It is this butterfly which turned tailer’s gaze to the flower.
He gazed at it for some moments, and then suddenly a long tongue came and
wrapped the butterfly. It tries to resist by fluttering the wings, but was of
no use. The tongue took it, the way back to the mouth of a frog.
CHAPTER 1
‘The nature, its
beauty, everything has become treacherous! How can we live in this world? May
be these are aftereffects of what we have done’
Tailer was a young fellow, in his early
twenties. He doesn’t have any job, nor he like to have one. His family was one
of the richest of India. Tailer wasn’t his real name, he adopted it. His
parents died even before his memories started to strengthen. After the death of
his parents due to an earthquake (as told by his uncle), his uncle, Ram, looked
after him. Uncle Ram was an unmarried man, who gave too much love and affection
to Tailer. When Tailer was fifteen, uncle Ram died due to some disease which was
unknown to medical science. This left Tailer alone in the huge bungalow with
only the richness his parents earned. He spent his life by researching and
discovering about the mysteries that no one ever knows. Recently he discovered
that, there are some secrets hidden in a forest of south India. The forest is
bounded by a special kind of tree, with yellow wood and light green glowing
leaves. The forest was once a vast kingdom and is surrounded by wall. The wall
hid the trunk of the tree from outsider’s view. This made the tree to appear
like mahogany tree to the outsiders. The only entrance to this forest was a
building which was at the centre of the wall. The door to this building is
locked from centuries ago. But no one dares to enter the building as there is a
haunting story behind this building which made the neighbouring people to fear
even for going there at night. Also, if somebody dares too, there is no gain
for him in entering into a mahogany forest.
Tailer decided to visit that place. One night
he got to that place and unlocked the building with a metal wire and moved into
the building and closed the door from inside.
There is only a stair in front of him which lead to the only room, or
hall may be, of the building .He climbed the stairs to reach to the hall.
The stair was not a straight one
was there a sharp turn to the left after reaching ten or twelve steps. Tailer
entered the hall after a few steps from the turn. The hall was indeed just a
room with nothing inside. An empty room! Tailer looked to his right and saw
there was a doorway. The door was not locked, actually it is half opened. He
knew for sure, it is the way to the great forest which hid a load of mysteries
within it. He walked to the doorway and went past it without any hesitation.
He was now in a corridor, which was protruding forward from the
building. It was well constructed, providing high safety as it include parapet
which prevent the fall.
CHAPTER 2
An ocean of happiness surrounded Tailer when he stood on the corridor.
He gazed at the beauty of the nature. His heart is pounding hard, he couldn’t
know what type of joy he had.
’India,
the place of different gods, different religions, different cults, different
languages and yet the most beautiful place on earth. She had concealed many
mysteries within her. May be no other place could probably have that much
mysteries as she does have. And now, one of her prime mystery of this age is in
front of me! It is grinning at me! Ma India is going to reveal one of her
secrets to me! ’
He couldn’t think properly with anticipation peaking each second. He has
no idea what will be there in this vast forest, nor the book in his hand which
gave him reference to this land. For his surprise, the book was unnamed and
even the name of the writer was not present. It was handwritten. Prime of all
these surprises was the way Tailer got this book. He got it from one of the
oldest library, may be a hundred and fifty years old. Looking at the book and
the boldness in its writing Tailer can swear the book must be written within
two years or so. And further, for his surprise the book was hidden beneath
another book titled “GLORY OF INDIA” (the book and the title was in Sanskrit,
but Tailer was a scholar in the language).
‘Perfect
place for hiding the manuscript!’ he realised ‘a few people in modern India knows Sanskrit’.
But who wrote this book? Why it was hidden?
All these are huge questions which Tailer found hard to answer. But the
explorer in Tailer forced him to find out the place and find out the mystery to
which the book points. And now he has discovered the place and I standing on
the balcony of the building which marks the border to the forest stated in the
book.
Tailer
walked back to the hall and to his surprise he noticed many things which he
initially did not. There was a large wooden box on the right side of the
entrance from the stairs from which he entered the hall earlier. It was a huge
box indeed. He went near it and inspected. The box was locked and the lock
seems to be made of silver or something similar to it. He wondered how come
this box in this building where nobody leaves. Tailer noticed that the box was
wooden yet it is perfectly carved and its surface is smooth, moreover it shines
as a ray of light falls on to it from a hole in a window door. Then he realised
if he’s gonna think too much about these things he would have to spent a lot of
years and discarded his thoughts. Then he saw something inscribed on top of the
box.
He didn’t get
any sense by looking at the script.
’What does it mean? YakshaRajya? What is
that? Could it be the name of the lost empire or something? ‘.
He then turned his gaze
to the lock. It has no keyholes! Tailer was wondered by this. But without
wasting any more time, he lifted the lock with his right hand. Suddenly, the
lock began to glow, producing radiance all over the room and then, with a click the lock
unlocked and vanished from Tailer’s hand. Tailer was gapping with astonishment
of what he has just witnessed. It took him some moments before coming back to
his sense. When he got back to his sense, he was hardly able to believe what he
has just witnessed. He slowly place his hand on top of the box expecting more
wonders, but nothing happened. So he managed to open the box, it was a strong
one he spent a good portion of his strength to open it. Once he did, he
examined the content of the box. He was unable to know what was inside.
Anything which is inside the box is hidden from view as it is covered using
some material akin to cloth.
He gently took out the cloth and realised it
as a costume, it looks special, like that of some traditional king’s or some
warrior’s. He place it on the floor, to his left, and again looked into the
box. It was filled with arms. He doubted the box to be somebody’s arsenal.
After taking a deep breath, he stood up and stripped himself. Once he did, he
the costume which he left on the floor and wore it. There were arrangements in
the armour to hold the arms which he got from the box. He placed the arms, one
by one in the apt positions. When he was finished he looked more as a
traditional prince than a modern day gentleman. He then walked back to the
corridor.
