Chapter 1 – Khamoshi ka Sandesh

Raat ka aasmaan ek ajeeb sa tha. Taron ki jagah upar chamak rahi thi ek aur hi prakash—ek shattered planet ka tukda jo dhoondli si roshni faila raha tha. Jungle ki hawa bhaari thi, jaise har ped apna koi raaz chhupaye khada ho.

Arien ne apna cloak zyada kas kar lapet liya. Uska chehra thoda rugged tha, par aankhon me ek ajeeb si udaasi thi. Usne apni kamar se latka hua chhota dagger check kiya aur apne bag me chhupa hua ek ancient relic nikala—ek translucent crystal jo kabhi-kabhi khud hi dhadakne lagta tha.

Usne dheere se bola:

Arien: "Phir se... tum chamak rahi ho. Jaise tum mujhe bulati ho."

Jungle ki khamoshi me ek achanak thandi si awaaz gunj uthi. Na zyada tez, na halki—par ekdum andar tak utar jaane wali.

Awaaz: "Arien… tumhe apna raasta choose karna hoga. Tum smuggler ho… ya rakshak?"

Arien ka haath ek pal ke liye kaanp gaya. Usne dagger tight pakad liya aur charon taraf dekha. Jungle khaali tha, par pedon ke pattiyon me se hawa aise chal rahi thi jaise kisi ne usse jhula diya ho.

Arien: "Kaun hai? Samne aao!"

Lekin koi nahi aaya. Sirf crystal aur tez chamak gaya. Ek pal ke liye usne apni maa ki awaaz mehsoos ki—woh maa jise Empire ke soldiers ne maar diya tha.

Narration: Arien ka dil ek hi pal me past ki taraf kheench liya gaya. Uska gaon, uski maa, jala hua ghar… sab kuch wapas samne aane laga. Usne khud ko us din se banaya tha ek smuggler, ek bhagauda—jo sirf apna zinda rehna chahta tha. Lekin ab, lagta tha uske liye zinda rehne se zyada bada koi kaam tay ho gaya hai.

Jungle ke andheron me usne apne aap se kaha:

Arien: "Main hero nahi hoon… lekin agar tum chahti ho ki main tumhe uthaun, toh tumhe mujhe majboor karna padega."

Usne relic ko apne bag me dubara rakh liya, par uske dil me pehli baar ek halka sa darr utar gaya tha.

Ek patta zameen par gira. Arien ne turant dagger uthaya, jaise koi uska peecha kar raha ho. Lekin jungle abhi bhi wahi tha—khamosh aur bhaari.


Lekin Arien ko ek baat samajh aa gayi thi:
Ye jungle khaali nahi tha. Aur uske aage jo bhi raasta tha, usme sirf uska guroor ya uski zindagi nahi—poori duniya ka kissa judne wala tha.

Chapter ka ant: Relic ek baar fir se tez chamakta hai aur door ek silhoutte nazar aati hai—lekin Arien samajh nahi paata ki woh insaan hai ya kuch aur.

Chapter 2 – Ek Ajnabee ki Jhalak

Jungle ki raatein hamesha khamosh hoti thi, par aaj hawa me ek ajeeb sa tanav tha. Arien ek purane temple ke khokhle darwaze ke paas baitha tha, haath me dagger aur bag me woh chamakta relic. Uski aankhen abhi bhi uss silhoutte ki taraf thi jo use jungle ke dusre kinaare par nazar aayi thi.

Par ab jungle khaali tha. Jaise kuch hua hi na ho.

Arien ne apne aap se kaha:

Arien: “Bas… thodi thakan hogi. Dimaag mere saath khel khel raha hai.”

Usne apni chhoti si fire pit jalayi aur baith gaya. Raat ka safar usne akele nikalne ka socha tha, lekin jungle uski soch ke hisaab se zyada zinda tha.

Tabhi ek awaaz suni gayi—patton ke crunch hone ki.

Arien turant khada ho gaya. Dagger uske haath me tha, aur uski aankhen shadows ko scan kar rahi thi.

Aur phir… usne dekha.

Ek ladki.

Safed–silver ke jaisi chamakti ek patli armor pehne hue, haath me ek chhota sa staff. Uske chehre par gusse aur confidence ka ek mix tha. Uski aankhen—badi, sharp aur dhoondti hui.

Ladki (thandi awaaz me): “Jo bhi ho… saamne aaja. Main tumhe dekh rahi hoon.”

Arien ne dagger uthaya, par uske lips pe ek halka sa smile tha.

Arien: “Kya tumhe lagta hai main itna bewakoof hoon ki khud ko expose karun? Tum kaun ho… aur jungle me akeli kya kar rahi ho?”

Ladki ne apna staff zameen par mara, ek halki si chamak nikli jaise usme koi hidden magic ho.

Ladki: “Naam hai Lyra. Aur main tumse wahi sawal poochh sakti hoon. Jungle me ek smuggler kya kar raha hai?”

Arien ka dil ek second ke liye ruk gaya. Ye ladki uske baare me kaise jaanti hai? Usne apna expression badla, ek casual sa shrug diya.

Arien: “Smuggler? Shayad tumne kisi aur ko dekh liya hoga.”

Lyra (smirk karte hue): “Tumhari belt par jo emblem hai… wahi emblem black market ke smugglers ka hota hai. Main andhi nahi hoon.”

Arien chhupane ki koshish kar raha tha, par andar hi andar impress bhi ho gaya tha. Ye ladki smart thi.

Woh dono ek dusre ko dekhe ja rahe the. Fire pit ki roshni me Lyra ka chehra aur zyada clear ho gaya—thoda sa thaka hua, lekin ek determination ke saath. Jaise uske paas bhi apne raaz hain.

Silence ke kuch lamhe ke baad, Lyra ne apna staff neeche kiya.

Lyra: “Dekho, mujhe tumse ladaai nahi chahiye. Mujhe bas yeh pata karna hai ki tumhare paas kya hai. Maine jungle me woh relic chamakti dekhi thi.”

Arien ki aankhen tez chamki. Woh ek pal ke liye socha ki is ladki ko maar de aur chala jaye—par uske dil me ek ajeeb si awaaz ne roka.

Usne fire pit ke paas baithne ka ishara kiya.

Arien: “Theek hai. Tumhare paas jawab chahiye, lekin main tumhe sab sach abhi nahi bataunga. Tum chaaho toh mere saath baith sakti ho.”

Lyra thoda hesitant thi, par usne apna staff ek taraf rakha aur fire pit ke paas baith gayi.

Aag ki roshni un dono ke chehron par pad rahi thi. Arien ka rugged aur thoda cynical expression, aur Lyra ka strong lekin vulnerable look. Dono ki aankhen ek pal ke liye takraayi… aur jungle ki khamoshi unke beech ek alag hi tension create kar rahi thi.

Narration: Ye pehli mulaqat thi do logon ki—ek smuggler jo apna past chhupane me mahir tha, aur ek ladki jiske paas apna ek sach tha jo abhi samne nahi aaya. Dono ke dil me kuch sawaal the, par jawab abhi jungle ki andheri raat ke liye chhupaye gaye the.

Chapter 3 – Jungle ke Andhere Raaste

Raat gehri ho chuki thi. Fire pit dheere-dheere bujh rahi thi, aur sirf jungle ki awaazein sunai de rahi thi—kabhi door se kisi janwar ki cheekh, kabhi hawa ka shor. Arien aur Lyra dono chup the, jaise apne apne khayalon me kho gaye ho.

Lyra apne staff par ungliyan ghumati rahi, par uski aankhen Arien par tikti ja rahi thi. Arien ne ye mehsoos kar liya tha, par usne jaane-anjaane me palat kar kuch nahi kaha. Uske liye trust ek aisi cheez thi jo bohot mushkil thi.

Phir achanak…

Ek halki si “click” ki awaaz hui.

Arien ne turant dagger nikal liya aur hawa me tez saans bhari.

Arien (dheemi awaaz me): “Shhh… yeh jungle ki awaaz nahi thi.”

Lyra ne apna staff tight pakad liya. Uske chehre par pehli baar ghabrahat dikh rahi thi.

Aur tabhi—pedon ke beech se do-do red laser dots unke chehron par aake ruk gaye.

Lyra (faint whisper): “…Empire ke soldiers.”

Jungle ek dum se jag gaya. Chaaro taraf se armored soldiers nikal aaye, unke haath me blasters aur unke helmets par Empire ka kala nishaan.

Sabse aage ek commander tha—lamba, ek mechanical arm ke saath.

Commander: “Relic hamare havale karo, aur shayad hum tumhe zinda chhod dein.”

Arien ne Lyra ki taraf dekha aur usne sirf ek smirk diya.

Arien: “Mujhe nafrat hai jab koi meri raat kharab karta hai.”

Aur usne dagger feka—seedha ek soldier ke blaster par. Weapon chingariyon ke sath gira aur soldier peeche gir gaya.

Lyra ne turant apna staff zameen par mara, aur usse ek blue shield nikla jo blaster ki goli ko rok gaya.

Lyra (Arien se): “Mujhe cover do!”

Arien: “Tumhe lagta hai main tumhari madad kar raha hoon? Main toh bas apni zindagi bacha raha hoon.”

Lekin dono saath-saath chalne lage. Arien apni daggers se close combat me soldiers ko girata, jabki Lyra apne staff se glowing energy bolts chhodti. Jungle ek dum se battlefield ban gaya.

Ek soldier ne peeche se Lyra par attack kiya, par Arien ne turant uska haath pakad ke twist kiya aur usse ped se de maarha.

Lyra (ek pal ke liye Arien ki aankhon me dekhte hue): “…tumne meri jaan bachayi.”

Arien (smirk karte hue): “Ab tumhari baari hai.”

Lyra ne ek bada energy wave nikala jo chaaro taraf soldiers ko peeche dhakel gaya. Aag aur roshni ke beech, Arien aur Lyra ek dusre ke peeth se peeth milaakar khade the, dono ke haath weapons par, saans tez, aankhen shikari.

Narration: Us pal me, jungle me do anjaane log ek dusre ke rakshak ban gaye. Aur dono ke beech ek aisa rishta banta ja raha tha jo abhi shabdon me samajhna mushkil tha.

Lekin ladai khatam nahi hui thi. Commander abhi bhi khada tha, uska mechanical arm red light se glow kar raha tha.

Commander (garaj kar): “Tumhe lagta hai tum bach jaoge? Relic tumhe hamare paas la hi dega.”

Arien ne apne bag ko tight pakad liya. Relic uske andar se phir se chamak raha tha—jaise woh khud bhi iss ladaai me zinda ho.

Aur usi chamak ki roshni me, Arien aur Lyra ek dusre ki taraf dekhe… ek chhupi hui understanding ke sath.
