PREFACE

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.
