Jabardast updateEpisode 61
Sikandar Emham Forest se bahar nikal gaya, us aadmi aur larki ko akela chhor kar.
“Mujhe unhein maar dena chahiye tha… lekin mere haath pehle hi khoon se bhare hue hain,” Sikandar ne dil hi dil mein socha.
Uske andar ek ajeeb bechaini uth rahi thi.
Woh bohot se log pehle hi maar chuka tha.
Jo log usne pehle maare the, sab bure log the. Sikandar jaanta tha ke woh sahi kaam tha.
Lekin ab… insaan ko maarna uske liye halka hota ja raha tha.
Sikandar ne apna haath dekha—woh garam tha, bilkul zinda.
Yeh ehsaas use dara gaya.
Woh insaanon ko maarne ki aadat daal raha tha… bilkul waise hi jaise woh supernatural makhlooq ko maarta tha.
Usne bhaunwen sikor li.
Uske zehan mein aik aik kar ke woh tamam chehre flash hone lage jinhein usne kabhi maara tha.
Usne mutthi band ki aur apne irade ko mazboot kiya.
“Mujhe aur taqatwar banna hoga… ek din aisa aayega jab main insaanon ko maarna chhor dunga,”
Apne aap ko sambhal kar Sikandar ne Emham Forest chhor diya.
Jungle se bahar nikalte hi, uski nazar kuch logon par pari jo light green uniform pehne hue thay.
Chaar log thay—do mard aur do auratein.
Sab Sikandar ki taraf ishara kar rahe thay ke woh paas aaye.
Sikandar unke paas gaya aur halki si gardan hila kar hello kiya.
Bina kisi lafz ke, woh use us jagah le chalne lage jahan uski mulaqat Reed Family se honi thi.
Unhon ne flying car istemal ki.
Yeh Sikandar ka pehli baar tha ke woh aisi gaari mein baitha.
Gaari ka interior kaafi spacious tha—paanch log araam se baith sakte thay.
Andar refreshments maujood thay aur seats mehngi leather ki bani hui thein, bohot comfortable.
Sikandar ne gaari ke andar maujood logon ko scan kiya.
Do log Peak Rank Five thay.
Baaki do unidentified thay—iska matlab yeh tha ke woh kam az kam Early Rank Six se upar thay.
System ke scan se use pata chala ke group ka leader Ari hai.
Safar bilkul khamoshi mein guzra.
Kisi ne baat nahi ki.
Do ghantay ke baad gaari land hui.
Sikandar ne bahar jhaanka aur bhaunwen sikor li.
“Yahan kyun ruk rahe hain? Mujhe laga meeting kisi ghar mein hogi,” Sikandar ne poocha.
Yeh jagah aik suburb area thi—keechad, tootay huay ghar, aur log jo phate purane kapray pehne ghoom rahe thay.
Kai log Sikandar aur unke saathiyon ko dekh kar bhaag gaye ya chhup gaye.
Yeh jagah yaqeenan Sector 3 nahi thi.
Ek aadmi ne jawab diya,
“Flying car zyada tawajjoh khainch leti hai.”
“Makes sense,” Sikandar ne socha.
Agar woh flying car use karte rehte to sab ko pata chal jata ke yeh log khaas aur powerful hain.
Aur jab Atkins Reed Family par ilzaam daal chuki hai, aisi attention unke liye khatarnak hoti.
Kuch minute chalne ke baad—
Sikandar achanak ruk gaya.
Usne aagay chalne wale aadmi ke paas ja kar dheemi awaaz mein kaha,
“Humhein follow kiya ja raha hai.”
Yeh sun kar leader ne baqi sab ko ishara diya ke tayyar ho jao.
Woh right side ek tang si gali mein mur gaye—
Gali itni tang thi ke sirf chaar log aik sath chal sakte thay.
Woh tez qadam se aagay barhne lage.
Lekin jaise hi woh gali se bahar nikalne wale thay—
Teen log saamne aa gaye.
Sab brown robes pehne hue thay jo unka poora jism dhak rahi thein.
Unki shaklon se hi lag raha tha ke woh shreef log nahi hain.
Ari ne foran peechay mur kar baqi logon ko ishara kiya—
Lekin tabhi peechay se bhi teen aur brown-robed log nikal aaye.
Gali band ho chuki thi.
Sikandar ne foran sab ko scan kiya.
Woh Ari ke kaan ke paas jhuk kar bola,
“Chaar Peak Rank Five… aur do Rank Six.”
Ari ne Sikandar ko dekha—
Uski aankhon mein aik lamhay ke liye hichkichahat aayi.
Phir Sikandar ke pur-azm chehre ko dekh kar usne gardan hila di.
“Jim, Regina aur Sikandar—tum log saamne wale group ko sambhalo,”
Ari ne hukam diya.
Jim—jiske kamar par daggers latak rahe thay—ne foran haan mein sir hila diya.
Ek aurat ne fikrmand ho kar kaha,
“Sir, aap? Aap do log ho aur teen se larenge?”
Ari ke honton par aik confident muskaan aa gayi.
Achaanak uski peeth ke peeche green rang ka spirit zahir hua—
Haath mein shield aur sword ke sath.
“Fikr mat karo,” Ari ne gardan ghoomate hue kaha,
“Main aur Irene peeche wale group ko jaldi khatam kar denge.”
Usne apni saber nikali.
Ari jismani tor par Sikandar se thora chhota tha,
lekin uska aura…
Bilkul goli ki tarah tha—jo bhi qareeb aaye, cheer kar rakh de.
Sikandar bhi hairaan reh gaya jab usne Ari ki violent aura mehsoos ki.
“Agar apni zindagi pyari hai,”
Ari ne tanziya lehje mein kaha,
“to raasta chhor do.”
Uske peeche khara spirit bhi taunt karte hue muskuraya.
Tabhi—
SWOOSH!
Brown-robed logon mein se aik achanak aagay barha.
Uski peeth se green par nikal aaye,
jo uski raftaar ko kai guna barha rahe thay.
CLANG!
Talwar aur saber aik dusre se zor daar takraate hain aur poori jagah par jang phoot parti hai.
Ari ko robed aadmi ke saath ladta dekh kar, Sikandar foran apni tamam skills activate kar leta hai, khud ko aane wali ladai ke liye tayar karta hua.
Us ka jism safed roshni se chamak uthta hai jab woh Pure Brace of Moonlight aur Force activate karta hai.
Jim aur Regina, jo Sikandar ke bilkul paas kharay thay, mehsoos kar sakte hain ke Sikandar ki power har second barhti ja rahi hai—jaise achanak us ki strength kai guna ho gayi ho.
CRACK!
Black Lightning Sikandar ke jism ke gird bhayanak andaaz mein lapakne lagti hai. Us ki aankhen chamak uthti hain jab woh kehta hai,
“Right wala mera hai!”
BOOM!
Zameen phat jaati hai jab Sikandar right side ke robed log par bijli ki raftaar se jhapatta hai.
Chehra dhaka hone ke bawajood, robed aadmi us shock ko mehsoos karta hai jab Sikandar aik pal mein us ke saamne pohanch kar us se takra jata hai.
Aik hi jhatkay mein dono peeche ki taraf ja phainkay jaate hain.
Ab raat ho chuki thi.
Creature of the Night aur baqi skills ke boost ke saath, Sikandar ki power dugni ho chuki thi—ab woh mid Rank Five, balkeh peak Rank Five ke barabar khara tha!
Sikandar ko pehla move chhente dekh kar, Regina aur Jim bhi baqi robed logon par toot paray.
Sikandar khud ko sambhal kar us aadmi ki taraf lapakta hai jo abhi uthne ki koshish kar raha tha. Us ke muqay safed roshni se chamak uthte hain jab woh Force Beam activate karta hai.
BOOM!
Mukay ka nishana chook jaata hai aur seedha peeche wali deewar par lagta hai—deewar aik hi hit mein tabah ho jaati hai.
Itna bada suraakh ban jata hai ke ghar ke andar maujood logon par eent aur pathar girte hain.
Cheekh-o-pukaar mach jaati hai aur log bhaag nikalte hain jab unhein samajh aata hai ke jang shuru ho chuki hai.
Sikandar jese hi samne dekhta hai—
Us ke chehre ke bilkul paas aik mooka pehle se maujood hota hai.
BAM!
Sikandar hawa mein uchaal diya jata hai, bilkul jet ki tarah. Us ka jism deewar se takrata hai, deewar ko cheer kar chhat se bahar phat jata hai.
‘Close-combat Awakened…’
Sikandar sochta hai.
Us ka enhanced body aam mukay ko aasani se rok sakta tha, lekin yeh punch waqai dardnaak tha.
Is ka matlab tha ke samne wala Awakened apne mana se apna jism mazboot karna bakhoobi janta tha.
BOOM! BOOM!
Door door se larai ki awaazein aa rahi hoti hain—poora sector chaos mein doob chuka tha.
Sikandar samne dekhta hai jab robed aadmi apni chadar utaarta hai.
Us ke neeche aik mazboot, barbarian jaisa aadmi hota hai—baazuon par tattoos, jism aur chehre par gehri scars, jo is baat ki gawahi deti hain ke woh aik tajurba-kaar fighter hai. Us ke paas koi weapon nahi—sirf us ke fists.
Apne competitive ko dekh kar Sikandar ka khoon ubal uthta hai.
Woh apni t-shirt phaar deta hai, steel ki tarah trained muscular body numaya hoti hai. Woh haath utha kar taunting ishara karta hai.
Barbarian aadmi hairaan reh jata hai—Sikandar ka jism us se zyada developed tha.
Magar Sikandar ke chehre par maujood challenge us ka khoon jala deta hai.
“RAAARGH!!”
BOOM!
Woh ghussay mein bail ki tarah Sikandar ki taraf lapakta hai, kamar se pakar kar tackle karne ki koshish karta hai—
Magar nakaam.
Us ki poori taqat bhi kaafi nahi hoti.
Sikandar sirf kuch meters peeche sarakta hai, zameen phat jaati hai, phir woh aadmi ko rok kar us ki reedh ki haddi par zor daar elbow marta hai.
BAM!
“Huakh!!” aadmi dard se karha uthta hai.
Woh zameen par pattak diya jata hai.
Sikandar follow-up attack ke liye aage barhta hai, magar achanak aadmi ka jism hari roshni se chamak uthta hai.
Aur phir—
SLASH!
Hawa ka aik tez waar Sikandar ke chehre ko cheer deta hai. Woh bilkul unexpected tha.
Aadmi uth khara hota hai.
Us ke muqay hawa ke mana se bhar jaate hain, aik wind barrier ban jata hai. Ghussay mein woh punch marta hai—
BOOM!
Magar Sikandar peeche nahi jata.
Us ka haath aage barhta hai aur woh mukka pakar leta hai.
Kaali bijli us ke jism ke gird lapakti hai, aur black aur green mana ke takraane se bhayanak chingari paida hoti hai.
Aadmi ki aankhen phail jaati hain.
Phir Sikandar ke chehre par aik khaufnaak muskurahat ubharti hai.
STAB!
Sikandar ke haath achanak claws mein tabdeel ho jaate hain.
Woh aadmi ke mukay ko cheer dete hain—paanch gehre suraakh, haath bilkul barbaad.
“ARGHHH!!”
Aadmi cheekh uthta hai. Us ka haath latakta hua gosht ban chuka hota hai.
Woh dehshat se Sikandar ko dekhta hai,
“Yeh… yeh kaise mumkin hai?”
Sikandar jawab nahi deta—sirf muskurata hai.
Zameen siyah ho jaati hai jab woh Black Field Orko activate karta hai. Kaali bijli aadmi ke jism ko jakar leti hai, use hilne tak nahi deti.
Siyah, thandi aura us ke andar bhar jaati hai.
Dehshat.
Bina waqt zaya kiye—
SLASH!
Sikandar aik hi waar mein us ka sar uda deta hai.
Sar hawa mein ghoomta hai aur phir zameen par bhaari awaaz ke saath girta hai.
<Mid Rank Five Awakened maara gaya – 300,000 EXP hasil hui>
Jang khatam hone ke baad, Sikandar wapas gali mein aata hai.
Wahan baqi larai bhi khatam ho chuki hoti hai.
Woh Ari ke paas jata hai—us ke qareeb aik laash pari hoti hai. Regina aur Irene bhi zameen par bejaan paray hotay hain.
Woh robed logon se haar chuki hoti hain.
Ari aur Jim ne mil kar Rank Six Awakened ko maara hota hai, phir Ari ne baqi sab ko mita diya tha.
Ari kuch dair khamosh rehta hai, phir kehta hai,
“Chalo, aage barhte hain.”
Sikandar laashon ko dekhta hai, gehri saans leta hai, phir unhein qareebi garbage container mein rakh kar Ari aur Jim ke peeche chal padta hai.
Aadha ghanta chalne ke baad—
Woh apni manzil par pohanchte hain.
Aik ghar, jo kai Awakened se ghira howa tha. Sab se kamzor bhi Rank Five hota hai.
Aur sab se taqatwar—
Andar....
Sikandar ko system ki zarurat nahi hoti. Woh mana mehsoos kar sakta tha.
‘Yeh mana… ajeeb hai,’ woh sochta hai.
Yeh aam mana jaisa nahi tha—ziyada ghana, zyada bhari… aur kuch aur bhi.
Guard ke saath andar ja kar—
Woh aik aadmi ko throne par baitha dekhta hai.
Aankhon mein thandi shahanshahi nazar.
Siyah baal, jinhon mein safedi ki lakeer. Jism kamzor magar mana la-mehdood.
Us ke dono hathon ki hatheliyon mein suraakh hotay hain—magar khoon nahi beh raha hota.
Aur us ke paas—
Deniz.
Wahi jis se Sikandar pehle cafe mein detective ke saath mila tha.
“Khush aamdeed, Sikandar,” Deniz kehta hai.
“Suna hai raaste mein mushkil aayi… magar tum pohanch gaye.”
Phir muskurate hue kehta hai,
“Umeed hai spellbooks mehfooz hongi.”
Sikandar halka sa jhuk kar jawab deta hai,
“Ji, sab mere paas hain.”
Woh adab se baat karta hai—kyun ke throne par baitha aadmi usay ghore ja raha hota hai.
‘Yahi hoga… Reed Family ka sardar,’
‘Stevanus Reed.’
_ _ _ _
Sikandar ne Stevanus ki taraf dekha jo apni kursi par pur-sukoon baitha hua tha. Uski aankhon mein halki si anticipation thi — ek aisi nazar jo Sikandar ko bechain kar rahi thi.
Poora ghar taqatwar logon se bhara hua tha. Un mein se bohot se aise thay jo asaani se Sikandar ko shikast de sakte thay.
Sab ki nazar Sikandar par thi, jo kamray ke beechon-beech khara tha. Guards ke haath apni talwaron aur bandookon ke hilt par thay, bilkul tayyar.
Sab khaufnaak thay…
lekin Sikandar sab se zyada us aurat se hoshiyar tha jo uske baen janib khari thi.
Woh aurat deewar ke saath tek laga kar gum chaba rahi thi. Dekhne mein sust aur careless lag rahi thi, magar Sikandar uski tezi mehsoos kar sakta tha.
Usay poora yaqeen tha — agar usne koi bewaqoofi ki, toh sab se pehle goli wahi aurat chalayegi.
“Sir, yehi hai woh jawan jiska maine aap se zikar kiya tha… Sikandar Silverstar,”
Deniz ne halki si jhukawat ke saath Stevanus ke kaan mein kaha.
Yeh sunkar Stevanus ne apni nazar dobara Sikandar par jamai.
Uski bhari hui awaaz kamray mein goonj uthi,
“Maine tumhare baare mein bohot suna hai. Deniz ke mutabiq, Atkins Family ko nuksaan pohanchane wala plan tumhara tha.”
“Aap ke alfaaz mujhe sharminda kar rahe hain, Sir,”
Sikandar ne adab se jawab diya,
“Maine bas wahi kaha jo us waqt zehan mein aaya.”
Stevanus muskuraya — thodi si tafreeh ke saath.
Usne umeed nahi ki thi ke itna berahm aur ruthless plan banane wala shakhs itna narm mizaj hoga. Use laga tha Sikandar ghuroor se bhara hoga.
Stevanus ne apni wind mana ka istemal karte hue hawa mein paison ka ek illusionary dher bana diya.
“Tumhara banaya hua plan be-misaal tha,”
usne kaha.
“Atkins Family ke under factories humne kamyabi se raid kar li. Wesley ka right-hand Hans wahan maujood nahi tha. Poori tarah be-difa.”
Haath ke ek ishare se paison ka dher hawa mein bikhar gaya.
Sikandar ne sar jhuka kar kaha,
“Mujhe khushi hai ke maine aap ka waqt zaya nahi kiya, Sir.”
Stevanus ki aankhein baaz ki tarah tez ho gayin.
“Plan laajawab tha… magar kya wahi tumhara akhri plan tha?”
Sikandar thora hairaan ho gaya.
“Jo shakhs aisa be-reham plan bana sakta hai, woh itna simple nahi hota,”
Stevanus ne kaha.
“Mujhe hairani hogi agar tumne Atkins Family ke saath koi aur deal na ki ho.”
Is shak bhari nazar ne Sikandar ke andar ajeeb si bechaini paida kar di.
Masla Stevanus ka cautious hona nahi tha —
masla uska Sikandar ko neeche se dekhna tha.
Pehle Atkins Family…
ab Reed Family…
sab use apni bulandi se hi dekh rahe thay.
Sikandar ne gehri saans li aur kaha,
“Aap ka sawal bilkul jaiz hai, Sir. Magar maine unke saath koi deal nahi ki.”
Yeh aik jhoot tha —
lekin aisi deal bhi nahi jo Reed Family ko bara nuksaan pohanchati.
Yeh sab sirf waqt khareedne ke liye tha…
taake Sikandar khud ko aur taqatwar bana sake.
“Aur Adhara kaisi hai?”
Stevanus ne halki si muskurahat ke saath poocha.
“Zehar ka asar theek raha?”
Adhara ka naam sunte hi Sikandar ki reedh ki haddi mein gussa daur gaya —
magar usne khud ko sambhal liya.
‘Isay zehar ke baare mein pata hai…’
Stevanus ne Deniz ki taraf dekh kar kaha,
“Deniz ke mutabiq, Wesley is baat par bohot ghussa hai ke humne unhein poison kiya. Main buddha ho sakta hoon, magar itna nahi ke main yeh sab bhool jaoon.”
Kamray ka mahaul achanak bhaari ho gaya.
Guards ki nazarain seedha Sikandar par jam gayin.
Sab ki tawajjo ke darmiyan, Sikandar pur-sukoon raha aur Stevanus ki aankhon mein dekhta raha.
Phir usne kaha,
“Main sirf aik aam aadmi hoon. Aur aap… aap 25 Golden Crest ke beech aik titan hain.”
“Atkins Family ka aap par bhonkna koi nayi baat nahi, hai na?
Kya badla hai? Kuch bhi nahi.”
Kamray mein maut jaisi khamoshi chhaa gayi.
Itni gehri khamoshi ke agar sui bhi girti toh awaaz aa jati.
Stevanus ki thandi nazar Sikandar se mili hui thi.
Sikandar be-harkat khara raha, magar la-shaoori tor par usne thook nigla.
Aur phir achanak—
“HAHAHAHA!”
Stevanus zor-zor se hansne laga.
Itna ke aankhon se aansu nikal aaye.
Yeh achanak hansna Sikandar ke liye hairat-angez tha.
Aansu ponchte hue Stevanus ne kaha,
“Wesley the Bad ko kutta kehne ki himmat… poori Ratmawati City mein sirf tum mein hai.”
Guards bhi halki hansi hansne lagay.
“Mujhe yeh bacha pasand aa gaya,”
Stevanus muskuraya.
“Ab thoda afsos hota hai ke tumne Reed Family join karne ki daawat thukra di.”
“Deal barqarar rahe gi,”
usne aage kaha.
“Spellbooks dene ke baad, Reed Family tumhari aur tumhare khandaan ki hifazat kare gi.”
Sikandar ne sukoon ka saans li aur sar hila diya.
Deniz ne ishara kiya.
Sikandar ne apni inventory se teen spellbooks nikale, unhein upar utha kar guards ko dikhaya ke woh be-hathyar hai, phir Stevanus ko de diye.
Stevanus ne unki authenticity check ki.
Deniz ne sar hila diya.
Aik guard ne Sikandar ke samne do bags phenk diye.
“Deal ke mutabiq:
10 Million Dollars aur 5,000 High Elemental Stones,”
Deniz ne kaha.
“Qismat ne chaha toh phir mulaqat hogi.”
Stevanus kursi se utha…
aur hawa mein ghul gaya.
Sikandar ne bags check kiye.
“Tumhari wajah se tum aur tumari family Reed Family ke qareeb aa gaye ho,”
Deniz muskuraya.
Jab guards Sikandar ko bahar le jaane lage, Sikandar ne kaha,
“Deniz, aik sawal pooch sakta hoon?”
“Poocho.”
“Kya aap ke paas High Dark Stones hain?”
Deniz hairaan ho gaya.
“Dark Stones? Kis liye? Tumhare qareebi logon mein koi Dark Elementalist nahi.”
“Research ke liye,”
Sikandar ne bahana banaya.
Deniz ne socha, phir ungli chatai.
“Shayad mid-rank ke kuch hon. Humein faida nahi. Chahiye?”
“Main paisay de doon ga—”
“Nahi,”
Deniz ne rok diya.
“Yeh toh hamari tauheen hogi. Tumhare room mein bhejwa dein ge.”
Deniz bahar nikal gaya.
‘Lift bhi nahi di…’
usne dil mein tanziya socha,
‘Khair…’
Usne bags ki taraf dekha, aankhon mein chamak aa gayi.
‘Is se hum kam az kam Rank Six pohanch sakte hain…
aur Supernatural territory mein qadam rakh sakte hain.’
Sikandar foran Ochyra University ki taraf rawana ho gaya.
Ab intezar bardasht se bahar tha.
Training shuru hone wali thi.

Scarlet Banes Kingdom – Supernatural Territory
Scarlet Banes Kingdom ke andar, raat ke andhere mein, kai Werewolves mil kar zameen khod rahe thay. Woh lakri ke mote mote planks istemal kar ke zameen ke neeche aik underground kamra bana rahe thay.
Agarche woh supernatural thay, lekin unka teamwork bilkul insano jaisa perfect tha—har koi apni zimmedari bakhoobi nibha raha tha.
King Baralt apne qile ke balcony mein khara tha. Uske haath mein aik mazer tha jisse woh aik ajnabi si liquid sip kar raha tha. Neeche apni qaum ko kaam karta dekhte hue, uski aankhon mein pur-sukoon si chamak thi.
Raat ka waqt tha, aur chandni seedha uske jism par par rahi thi.
Uske jism ke gird aik gehri neeli aura thi jo dheere dheere aur zyada taqatwar hoti ja rahi thi. Chandni uske liye fuel ki tarah kaam kar rahi thi—uske jism ko fresh aur mazboot bana rahi thi.
Achaanak, uske peeche sunehri armor mein lipta hua aik Werewolf zahir hota hai.
Woh foran ghutno ke bal jhuk kar kehta hai,
“Mere Badshah, main Vampire Kingdom se mutaliq aik khabar laya hoon jo shayad aap ke liye ahmiyat rakhti ho.”
King Baralt mazer ko side par rakhta hai aur gehri awaaz mein kehta hai,
“Bolo.”
Werewolf adab se bolta hai,
“Hamare spy ne bataya hai ke Vampires ne insani ilaqon par raid ki hai aur sainkron insano ko aghwa kar liya hai. Usne apni aankhon se un insano ko dekha hai.”
Woh aik lamha ruk kar phir kehta hai,
“Uske ilawa, raat ke waqt Vampire Castle par Solomon ki energy mehsoos ho rahi hai… jo aam tor par nahi hota.”
King Baralt ki bhawein sikur jaati hain. Thandi raat ki hawa mein uski fur lehrati hai.
‘Yeh kya kar rahe hain?’
‘Kya yeh apni tadaad barhane ka koi naya tareeqa dhoond chuke hain?’
‘Ya phir koi qurbani…?’
Woh dheere se sar hila deta hai.
‘Nahi… duniya abhi un ke liye tayar nahi.’
Kuch dair sochne ke baad woh hukm deta hai,
“Yeh khabar foran King Oddity tak pohanchao. Humein sach ka pata lagana hi hoga—har haal mein.”
.

Ochyra University – Training Hall
Sikandar khushi se bhara hua Ochyra University wapas aa chuka tha. Uske chehre par muskurahat thi jab woh Training Hall ki taraf ja raha tha—jahan Adhara ne use milne ko kaha tha.
Jaise hi woh hall ke andar dakhil hota hai, kai students khud-bakhud uske liye raasta bana dete hain.
Uski nazar aik jagah par padti hai jahan students ka ghaira bana hua tha, sab kisi ko hairani se dekh rahe thay. Sikandar foran samajh gaya—
Adhara.
Woh Adhara ko dekh kar ruk jaata hai. Adhara apni dagger-wielding skills practice kar rahi thi, apne element ko har attack mein shamil karti hui—har move lethal aur precise tha.
Achaanak Adhara ko Sikandar ki presence mehsoos hoti hai.
Woh mur kar ke muskurate hue pukarti hai,
“Sikandar!”
Practice rokte hue woh uske paas aati hai aur poochti hai,
“Kaam ho gaya? Un logon se milna complete ho gaya?”
Jaise hi crowd Sikandar ko dekh leta hai, log dheere dheere chhat jaate hain. Kuch log Sikandar ko boo karte hain, lekin woh unhein bilkul nazarandaz kar deta hai—jaise woh maujood hi na hon.
Sikandar excited awaaz mein kehta hai,
“Haan! Aur sirf itna hi nahi… mujhe un se kuch aisa mila hai jo tum dekh kar hairaan reh jaogi.”
Adhara ki aankhon mein tajassus chamak uthta hai.
Uski bechain nazron ko dekh kar Sikandar hans deta hai aur use room ki taraf le jaata hai.
Lekin nikalte waqt, Sikandar achaanak ruk jaata hai.
‘Abhi bhi peak Rank Three… aur will bhi kamzor,’
woh dil mein sochta hai, bina peeche dekhe chalna jari rakhta hai.
Jis shakhs ko usne mehsoos kiya tha, woh larki apne hont daba leti hai aur khamoshi se wahan se chali jaati hai.
Room ke Andar
Adhara jaise hi andar aati hai, foran kehti hai,
“Ab batao! Mujh se aur intezaar nahi ho raha!”
Sikandar usay chedte hue kehta hai,
“Aankhein band karo. Jo main laaya hoon, woh tumhari soch se bhi zyada hoga.”
Adhara pouting ke sath aankhein band kar leti hai.
Sikandar bathroom jaane ka drama karta hai aur apni inventory se bags nikal kar Adhara ke peeche rakh deta hai.
“Ab murho.”
Adhara jaise hi aankhein khol kar murti hai—
“GASP—!”
Woh hairani se apna munh dhak leti hai.
Uske saamne do bags thay.
Aik bag mein $10 million cash
Doosre bag mein 5,000 Elemental Stones, jo neeli aur laal roshni se chamak rahe thay
Deniz ne sirf Fire aur Lightning Stones diye thay, kyun ke unhein pata tha Sikandar kin logon ke saath yeh stones share karega.
Is mein shamil thay:
3,000 High Lightning Stones
2,000 High Fire Stones
Itni bari quantity dekh kar Sikandar khud bhi kabhi shikayat ka soch nahi sakta tha—yeh uske liye sapne se kam nahi tha.
Adhara bharpoor hairani ke sath Sikandar ko dekhti hai aur kehti hai,
“Tum ne waqai apna plan kamyaab kar liya… mujhe yaqeen hi nahi aa raha!”
_ _ _
Adhara ki aankhein chamak uthti hain jab woh bikhri hui High Elemental Stones ko dekhti hai. Usay aik lamhe ke liye lagta hai jaise woh khwab dekh rahi ho, kyun ke yeh manzar itna be-yaqeen hai ke sach lagta hi nahi.
Yeh sab too good to be true tha.
Agar koi bhi itni zyada High Elemental Stones dekhe,
sirf students hi nahi, balkay lecturers tak inhein chura lene ka sochain.
Yeh stones kisi bhi Awakened ko powerhouse bana sakti hain.
Jab koi Awakened peak rank five tak pohanch jaye,
toh jahan bhi woh jata hai, aik badi hasti samjha jata hai.
Agar woh Ratmawati City mein ho, toh shayad first aur second sector mein utna khaas na ho,
lekin phir bhi uski izzat hoti hai.
Magar agar woh kisi aur shehar ka rukh kare,
toh log usey khuda jaisa samajh kar poojte hain.
Uski har zaroorat poori ki jati hai, chahe woh kitni hi mushkil kyun na ho.
Kisi shehar mein aik peak rank five Awakened ka hona aik bohat badi barkat hoti hai,
kyun ke aksar Supernaturals jo raid karte hain, rank five se upar nahi hote.
Is liye aise Awakened ki mojoodgi shehar ki hifazat ko almost yaqini bana deti hai.
Sirf kuch hi ghair-mamooli waqiat, jaise Zrolis City ka attack
jahan werewolves ke leader mein aik poori horde ne tabahi macha di thi,
aise shehar ko gira sakte hain — aur aisa dobara hona bohat hi kam imkaan rakhta hai.
“Tum ne yeh sab kaise hasil kiya?”
Adhara ne poocha, jab ke uski nazar abhi bhi stones par jammi hui thi.
Sikandar halki si muskurahat ke sath hans pada aur bola,
“Bas aik deal ki thi… aur sab kuch plan ke mutabiq ho gaya.”
Phir aik lamhe ke liye ruk kar usne kaha,
“Yeh sab tumhari wajah se possible hua.”
Yeh sun kar Adhara hairani se Sikandar ki taraf dekhti hai.
Apni khushi ko control na karte hue woh uchal kar Sikandar ko gale laga leti hai.
Uske chehre par muskurahat hoti hai, kyun ke usey unka mustaqbil roshan nazar aa raha hota hai.
Jab Sikandar ko Karan ke paida kiye hue maslay ka pata chala tha,
toh woh ghabra gaya tha, uska dimagh bilkul blank ho chuka tha.
Magar Adhara ne usey sambhala, usey calm kiya,
aur isi ki wajah se Sikandar aik behtareen plan bana saka.
Aisa plan jo na sirf masla hal karta hai,
balkay unhein bohat zyada faida bhi deta hai.
Yeh kehna ghalat nahi hoga ke yeh sab Adhara ke baghair mumkin hi nahi tha.
“Achha, ab saman pack karo,”
Sikandar ne kaha jab Adhara usey chhor deti hai.
“Hum aaj hi Faraday University shift ho rahe hain.
Wahan reh kar training zyada efficient hogi.”
Adhara ne sar hila kar haan ki.
Magar jab Sikandar bahar jane laga, toh ruk kar bola,
“Lekin pehle hum tumhare father ke paas jayenge…
main unka bazu heal karunga.”
Yeh keh kar Sikandar kamre se nikal gaya,
aur Adhara ke chehre par aik sukoon bhari muskurahat aa gayi.
.
.
Sikandar apne kamre se nikal kar Vargas ko call karta hai
aur usey batata hai ke woh aur Adhara aaj hi Faraday University transfer ho rahe hain.
Vargas yeh sun kar bohat khush hota hai
aur foran log arrange kar deta hai jo unhein pick kar sakein.
Call khatam karte hi Sikandar ka phone dobara ring karta hai,
iss dafa aik unknown number se.
“Hello?” Sikandar ne phone uthaya.
Dusri taraf se awaaz aati hai,
“Sikandar, main ne tumhari hifazat ke liye log bhej diye hain.
Woh university pohanch chuke hain.
Tum unhein jaisa chaho command kar sakte ho.”
Yeh Deniz tha,
jisne pehle hi Sikandar ke liye guards arrange kar diye the.
“Main abhi unse milta hoon,”
Sikandar ne kaha aur lobby ki taraf chala gaya.
Lobby mein pohanchte hi paanch log uski taraf badhte hain.
Un mein se do chehre Sikandar ke liye pehchanay hue hote hain —
Ari aur Jim,
jo pehle usey Stevanus Reed se milwane le kar gaye thay.
Ari aik qadam aage badh kar kehta hai,
“Hum ab aap ke command ke under hain.”
“Formalities ki zaroorat nahi,”
Sikandar ne adab se kaha.
“Tum sab mujh se zyada taqatwar ho.”
Baaki teen naye chehre apna ta’aruf karwate hain —
Jayendra, Dinesh, aur Hamza.
Sikandar un sab ko scan karta hai
aur mehsoos karta hai ke Jim aur Ari ke ilawa bhi
baqi sab peak rank five ke qareeb hain,
aur clearly trained Awakened lagte hain.
“Tasks dene se pehle,”
Sikandar ne kaha,
“main yeh poochna chahta hoon ke
kya tum mein se koi yahan zabardasti bheja gaya hai?”
Jayendra hans kar bola,
“Zabardasti?
Us student ke under kaam karna jisne Wesley ko kutta kaha ho,
yeh toh hamaray liye izzat ki baat hai.”
“Woh bhi seedha munh par,”
Dinesh hans kar bola.
“Bohat zyada guts chahiye hotay hain.”
Hamza bas halki si muskurahat ke sath haan mein sar hila deta hai.
Sikandar bhi muskurata hai,
“Phir toh achha hai.
Mujhe khushi hai ke tum sab pur-josh ho.”
Phir Sikandar apni assignments karta hai:
Jim aur Dinesh → Sikandar
ke parents ki hifazat
Hamza aur Jayendra → Adhara ke father ki hifazat
Ari → Sikandar aur Adhara ke sath rehne ke liye
Jim aur Dinesh foran Sikandar ke parents ke ghar rawana ho jate hain.
Sikandar pehle hi apni mom ko inform kar chuka hota hai
ke do log unki protection ke liye ayenge.
Mrs. Greene Sikandar ka shukriya ada karti hain
aur usey tasalli deti hain ke woh bilkul theek hain,
taake Sikandar be-fikar reh sake.
Sikandar phir Adhara se mila aur usay poori kahani batayi.
Jo kuch bhi Sikandar ne kiya tha, usay sun kar Adhara aur bhi zyada hairaan reh gayi.
Na sirf Sikandar ne aise items hasil kiye thay jo un sab ko aur zyada powerful bana sakte thay, balkay us ne Reed Family ke sath dosti bhi bana li thi aur apni aur Adhara dono ki families ko protect karne ka intezam bhi kar diya tha.
Sab se zyada Adhara ka dil is baat ne chhoo liya ke Sikandar ne uske father ki hifazat ke liye do peak Rank Five Awakened assign kar diye thay.
Yeh soch kar hi Adhara ki aankhon mein jazbaat bhar aaye.
Phir dono Adhara ke father se milne gaye.
Uske baad, Sikandar aur Adhara ne Ochyra University ki taraf aakhri baar dekha.
Yeh unka yahan aakhri din tha.
Wapas aane ka koi irada nahi tha.
Lekin un dono ko is baat ka ilm nahi tha ke andar hi andar se koi unhen dekh raha tha.
Ek shaks, haath mein wine ka glass liye, dheere dheere usay hila raha tha.
Uski nazar Sikandar aur Adhara par jami hui thi.
Uske chehre par napasandeedgi aur jalan saaf nazar aa rahi thi.
Phir woh shaks muh mod kar wahan se hat gaya.
.
.
.
.
Dusri traaf
Suraj is waqt Faraday University ki taraf wapas ja raha tha.
Woh apni gaari mein betha hua tha, aaram se cigarette peeta hua.
Karan aur Ryze ki training mein madad karne ke baad, aur Sikandar ki request poori karne ke baad, aakhir kaar usey apne ghar wapas jane ka moka mila tha — Sector 3E mein.
Uske chehre se thakan saaf jhalak rahi thi.
Pichhle kuch dinon ne usay andar tak thaka diya tha.
Jo kaam Sikandar ne usey diya tha, woh bilkul aasaan nahi tha — uska jism bhi is baat ka gawah tha.
Suraj ne bheer bhari sadak ki taraf dekha, lekin uski aankhein khaali lag rahi thi.
Jaise woh kahin aur hi kho gaya ho.
Uski expression se lag raha tha ke uske dimaag mein bohot kuch chal raha hai.
Woh cigarette ka gehra kash leta hai aur dheere se dhuan bahar nikalta hai.
HONK!!
Achanak Suraj ghabra kar steering side mein ghooma deta hai.
Woh saamne se aane wali gaari se bas thoda sa bach jata hai.
“Yeh khatarnak tha,” usne dil hi dil mein socha aur gaari ko dobara seedha kiya.
Uski ghaflat usey hadsa karwa sakti thi.
Magar ajeeb baat yeh thi ke usey zyada farq nahi pada.
Aakhir, ek Awakened ab gaari ke accident se asaani se marne wala nahi tha.
Gaari sambhalne ke baad, Suraj jaise kisi faislay par pohanch gaya.
Achanak usne ek tez right turn liya.
Peechay wali gaariyan gusse mein horn bajane lagin.
Suraj ne race par paon rakh diya aur gaari tez raftaar se sadak par daura di.
Teen ghante ke safar ke baad,
Suraj aik jagah par pohancha.
Magar yeh Faraday University nahi thi.
Uske samne ek chhoti si imarat thi jo hospital jaisi lag rahi thi, lekin zyada tar ek purani drugstore ka ehsaas de rahi thi.
Yeh jagah ek tang gali mein thi, jahan qadeem tarz ki imaratein mojood thi.
Suraj gaari se bahar nikla aur andar ki taraf chal pada.
“Hi, kya main aap ki madad kar sakti hoon?”
Receptionist ne poocha jab Suraj counter ke paas aaya.
Suraj ne wallet nikala aur us mein se ek receipt nikaali.
“Meri appointment hai… Doctor Velma Zeitler ke sath.”
Usne receipt usay de di.
Receptionist ne receipt parh kar computer check kiya aur kaha,
“Doctor Velma thodi dair mein available hongi, please wahan beth jayein.”
Suraj waiting area mein beth gaya aur apna phone use karne laga.
Yeh jagah ajeeb logon se bhari hui thi.
Sirf kuch hi minute mein usne dekha:
Koi gusse mein tha,
Koi ro raha tha,
Aur koi bilkul khaali nazron se dekh raha tha.
Uske paas ek buzurg aadmi betha hua tha.
Woh bohot kamzor lag raha tha — poore safed baal, patla jism, aur larazti hui halat.
Suraj ko laga jaise woh theek se chal bhi nahi sakta.
Yeh bilkul mukhtalif tha kisi old Awakened se.
Ek budha Awakened ab bhi seedha khara ho sakta tha, sirf jhurriyan aur safed baal hi uski umar ka saboot hotay.
Research ke mutabiq, Awakened ki zindagi aam insaan se kaafi lambi hoti hai.
Kuch log 100 saal se bhi zyada jee chuke thay, phir bhi taqat se bharpoor.
Abhi tak sab se zyada umar 115 saal record hui thi — aur woh bhi limit nahi mani ja rahi thi.
“Beta, tum yahan kyun aaye ho?”
Budday aadmi ne bhari aur bhur-bhuri awaaz mein poocha.
Suraj hairani se uski taraf dekhta hai.
“Aap ki awaaz…” woh ruk gaya, phir bola,
“Meri zindagi kaafi mushkil hai.”
“Huh!”
Budday ne tanz se hansi.
“Tum abhi jawan ho aur is jagah aa gaye ho?
Agar bimar hotay to samajh aata, magar mushkil zindagi sirf tumhari nahi hoti.”
“Zindagi bohot chhoti hai beta,”
Budday ne baat aage barhai,
“Is jagah par waqt zaya karne ke liye nahi.”
Usi waqt receptionist ne budday ka naam pukara.
Doctor unka intezar kar raha tha.
Budday ne Suraj ko alvida kaha aur chala gaya.
Uske jaate hi Suraj ne phone dobara uthaya aur dheemi awaaz mein bola:
“Main bahar se bimar nahi hoon…
Lekin agar tum meri jagah hotay,
toh shayad kab ka khudkushi kar chuke hotay.”
Woh phone use kar hi raha tha ke ek aurat safed coat mein, haath mein tray liye, uske paas se guzri.
Achanak uska paon phisla.
CLANG!!
Tray zameen par gir gayi.
Is awaaz ke saath hi Suraj achanak khara ho gaya.
Usne saamne wali metallic seat ko mazbooti se pakra aur ek jhatke mein usay phaad diya.
Phir woh kamray ke kone mein jump kar gaya.
Doctor aur log hairani se usey dekhne lagay.
Suraj ke haath mein tooti hui metallic seat thi, aur woh tez saans le raha tha.
Uski aankhein idhar-udhar ghoom rahi thi, jaise woh kahin aur hi ho.
Phir achanak usey hosh aaya.
CLANG!
Usne lohe ke tukray zameen par gira diye aur sharmindagi se wapas apni jagah beth gaya.
Log ajeeb nazron se usey dekh rahe thay.
Tab receptionist ne Suraj ka naam pukara.
Usey Doctor Velma ke kamray ki taraf le jaya gaya.
Kamra pichlay hissay mein tha — pur-sukoon, khamosh, aur phoolon aur podon se bhara hua.
Suraj ne darwaza knock kiya aur andar chala gaya.
“Mr. Suraj, please andar aaiye aur bethiye,”
Doctor Velma ne muskurate hue kaha.
Suraj ne ijazat li aur unke saamne kursi par beth gaya.
Doctor Velma tees ke qareeb umar ki aurat thi.
Uski brown skin, ponytail mein bandhe howe kale baal, aur phoolon wali casual dress usay soft aur positive bana rahi thi.
Sirf uski muskurahat hi sukoon dene ke liye kaafi thi.
Suraj ke bethne ke baad Doctor Velma boli,
“Mujhe hairani hai ke aap itni jaldi aa gaye.
Maine kaha tha next session aglay mahine hoga.
Kya baat hai jo aap yahan aa gaye?”
Suraj ne nazar jhuka li.
“Yeh… aur zyada kharab ho raha hai,”
woh haklate hue bola,
“Mujhe samajh nahi aa raha ke kya karoon.”
Doctor Velma ke chehre par foran fikr ubhar aayi.
“Bataiye,”
usne narmi se kaha,
“Sab kuch bataiye.”
_ _ _
Suraj ne apna sar jhuka liya aur table ke neeche apne haath bechaini se ghoomne laga. Kuch lamhon baad us ne dheemi awaaz mein kaha,
“Session ke baad pichlay kuch hafton mein main behtar mehsoos kar raha tha… mujhe laga tha ke shayad main recover ho chuka hoon.”
Phir uski awaaz kaanpne lagi.
“Lekin pichlay do dinon se… sab kuch wapas aane laga hai.”
Woh Suraj jo hamesha Sikandar ko tease karta rehta tha, mazaq karta tha jaise usay kisi cheez ki parwah hi na ho—woh Suraj kahin kho gaya tha. Is waqt woh dara hua, kaanpta hua aur bilkul bebas lag raha tha.
Agar Sikandar usay is haal mein dekhta, toh yaqeenan hairaan reh jata.
Suraj ka is tarah hona bilkul normal nahi tha—yeh aisa lag raha tha jaise woh andar se toot chuka ho.
“Tum ne aisi koi cheez dekhi ya mehsoos ki jo is cheez ko trigger kar sakti ho?” Dr. Velma ne narmi se poocha.
“Purani tasveerein, ya kisi puranay jaan pehchan walay ka phone?”
Yeh sun kar Suraj ne apna sar aur zyada jhuka liya.
Uska reaction dekh kar Dr. Velma ne apni aankhen sikor li.
“Agar tum chahte ho ke main tumhari madad karoon, toh tumhein sab kuch batana hoga, Suraj.”
Kuch dair khamoshi ke baad,
Suraj ne aakhir kaar bolna shuru kiya,
“Main apne puranay dost se mila… aur woh bilkul nahi badla. Bilkul waisa hi hai jaisa pehli baar tha,” us ne bhari hui aankhon ke saath kaha.
Uski awaaz tootne ke qareeb thi, lekin woh poori koshish kar raha tha ke khud ko sambhal kar rakhe.
“Mujhe us se jalan hoti hai,” us ne Dr. Velma ki taraf dekhte hue kaha.
“Uska irada lohay jaisa mazboot hai. Marnay ke qareeb ja kar bhi… woh bilkul nahi badla.”
Dr. Velma ne SurJ ki halat dekh kar gehri saans li.
Yeh unka Suraj ke saath pehla session nahi tha. Apni links ke zariye Dr. Velma Suraj ke maazi ke baare mein jaan chuki thi.
Usay yeh jaan kar hairat hui ke Suraj asal mein Dwight City ka Hero reh chuka tha.
Is baat ne usay samajhne mein madad di ke Suraj ki halat ki asal wajah kya hai.
Fauj se nikalay gaye kai soldiers PTSD ka shikar hotay hain, aur Suraj jaise aik naujawan ke liye aisa khaufnaak tajurba guzarna—yeh zehni zakhmon ko janam dena laazmi tha.
“SURAJ,” Dr. Velma ne uske haath pakarte hue kaha,
“tumhari sehat ke liye behtar hoga ke tum apne is puranay dost se milna band kar do.”
Phir us ne kaha,
“Uski mojoodgi tumhari purani yaadein wapas le aati hai, jo tumhari halat ko aur bigaadh sakti hain.”
Yeh sun kar Suraj ne dheemi awaaz mein kaha,
“Main… nahi kar sakta.”
Woh baar baar bas yahi alfaaz dohrata raha,
“Main nahi kar sakta… main nahi kar sakta…”
Jaise woh khud ko hi samjha raha ho.
Dr. Velma ne bhawnay chadhaye.
“Tum aisa kyun nahi kar sakte? Yeh tumhari apni bhalai ke liye—”
BRAK!
Suraj ne zor se apna haath lakri ke table par maara. Dr. Velma ghabra kar peeche hat gayi.
Suraj cheekh pada,
“US NE MERI JAAN BACHAI THI!”
Is achanak gusse ne Dr. Velma ko Suraj se faasla rakhne par majboor kar diya. Usay saaf nazar aa raha tha ke Suraj is waqt itna unstable hai ke ghalti se kisi ko nuqsaan pohcha sakta hai.
Suraj ko apni harkat ka ehsaas hua.
Woh wapas kursi par baith gaya aur awaaz dheemi kar ke bola,
“Us ke baghair, Dr. Velma… main aaj yahan zinda hota hi nahi.”
Yeh sun kar Dr. Velma ne samajhdaari se sar hila diya.
“Main tumhare jazbaat samajh sakti hoon,” us ne narmi se kaha.
“Ab hum therapy session ki taraf chalte hain, yeh tumhein thora calm karne mein madad karega.”
Yeh keh kar woh Suraj ko bahar le gayi.
.
.
.
.
“Tum ne university ki website dekhi?” aik larki ne popsicle chaat-te hue kaha.
“Koi afwaah phail rahi hai.”
Us ke saath chal rahi doosri larki ne poocha,
“Konsi afwaah?”
“Log keh rahe hain ke Sikandar aur Adhara ne hamari university chhor di hai aur Faraday University transfer ho gaye hain. Tournament ke baad unhein scout kar liya gaya tha,” us ne udaas lehjay mein kaha.
Yeh sun kar doosri larki ne gehri saans li.
“Sikandar ke baghair hamari university ka performance bohot gir jaye ga.”
Yeh baatein Rosie ne sun li, jo apne room ki taraf ja rahi thi.
Uska chehra aik dum sakht ho gaya.
“Transfer…?!”
Rosie apni jagah par ruk gayi, aankhon mein aansu bhar aaye.
Agar Sikandar aur Adhara Faraday University chalay gaye, toh iska matlab tha ke woh unhein kabhi dobara nahi dekh payegi.
Woh khud ko sambhalne ki koshish karti rahi, lekin yeh khabar us ke liye bohot zyada dukh bhari thi.
Aansoo girne se pehle hi, woh dobara chalne lagi—lekin is dafa us ke qadam pehle se zyada tez thay.
.
.
.
.
Aik aur din guzar gaya.
Ochrya University chhorne ke baad, Sikandar aur Adhara, Adhara ke father ke paas gaye—jahan Sikandar ne apna wada poora kiya aur us ka haath system ki maddat se bilkol theek kar diya.
Jab Adhara ke father ka haath dobara ug aaya, woh khushi se pagal ho gaye.
Unhon ne jazbaati ho kar Sikandar aur Adhara dono ko galay laga liya.
Unhein yaqeen hi nahi aa raha tha ke Sikandar ne sirf unki beti ki khushi ke liye yeh sab kiya.
Isi wajah se Adhara ke father ne Sikandar ke liye apna dil khol diya.
Baad mein woh teeno aik restaurant mein khana khanay gaye aur baatein karte rahe.
Apne father aur Sikandar ke saath khana khana Adhara ke liye bohot khushi ka lamha tha—uski muskurahat se saaf nazar aa raha tha ke woh dil se khush hai.
Baton ke dauran, Adhara ke father ne apna naam bataya.
“Main Bryan hoon,” us ne kaha jab usay ehsaas hua ke Sikandar uska naam nahi jaanta.
Us ne yeh bhi bataya ke woh bhi kabhi fauj ka hissa reh chuka hai.
Adhara ki kahani sun chuka tha, is liye Sikandar ko yeh sab pehle se hi maloom tha.
.
.
Is waqt Sikandar Faraday University ke training ground ke andar sakht training kar raha tha.
Faraday University pohanchte hi,
Vargas ne Sikandar ke liye ek chhoti si welcoming party rakhne ka faisla kiya. Is party mein university ke har student ko ek mid-grade Elemental Stone diya gaya. Yeh asal mein Sikandar ke liye ek izzat bhari welcome thi.
Jaise hi Sikandar university mein nazar aaya, bohot se students uske qareeb aane ki koshish karne lage.
Sikandar ne ek ajeeb lekin achi feeling mehsoos ki—
acknowledgment, magar is dafa positive tareeqe se.
Ochyra University mein bhi log uski taqat ko maante thay,
lekin wahan yeh tasleem khauf ki bunyaad par hoti thi.
Log Sikandar ko dekh kar raasta chhor dete thay,
koi baat nahi karta tha, jaise woh koi aafat ho.
Wahan woh respected nahi,
feared tha.
Lekin Faraday University mein uski quwwat uske liye izzat le kar aayi thi.
Yahan log uski taqat ko sirf dekh kar darte nahi thay,
balkay usse izzat dete thay.
Yahan tak ke Kevin bhi Sikandar ke paas aaya,
jab Vargas ne usey bataya ke Sikandar ne cheating nahi ki thi.
Asal cheater woh jury member tha…
jise woh pehle hi maar chuka tha.
Zahir hai, Vargas ne yeh nahi bataya ke jury ko kis ne maara.
Kevin ki Sikandar se narazgi asal mein sirf ek ghalat fehmi thi.
Usey haar manzoor thi, lekin cheating wali baat usay chubhi thi.
Jab sab clear hua, Sikandar ko yeh poori situation kaafi amusing lagi.
Is waqt Sikandar Quiet Room ke andar meditation kar raha tha,
aur uske saath Adhara bhi maujood thi.
Yeh Quiet Room pehle wale room se mukhtalif tha—
yeh sirf top rankers ke liye reserved hota hai.
Jaise hi Sikandar training ground mein daakhil hua,
uske sar ke upar maujood orb golden rang ka ho gaya.
Tournament ke baad, Faraday University ke tamam students is baat par mutafiq thay ke
first year ka top ranker Sikandar hi hoga.
Kuch logon ka to yeh bhi kehna tha ke
woh third year ke top ranker se bhi zyada taqatwar hai.
Lekin Sikandar ko third-year ki seat lene ka koi shauq nahi tha.
Uske liye yeh sirf be-maqsad ranks thay,
jin ki usay zarurat nahi thi.
Adhara ne bhi yahan apni taqat ka loha manwa liya.
University pohanchte hi uska Kevin Luc ke saath sparring match hua,
aur sakht aur barabari ki ladai ke baad…
Adhara ne jeet hasil kar li.
Yeh dekh kar bohot se students hairaan reh gaye.
Unhein umeed nahi thi ke Adhara, Kevin se zyada taqatwar niklay gi.
Isi wajah se Sikandar aur Adhara ko naya laqab mila:
“The Invincible Duo”
Is waqt Sikandar gehri meditation mein tha.
Uske haath mein ek High Lightning Stone tha
jo dheere dheere apni roshni kho raha tha.
Uske paas kai aur istemal shuda High Lightning Stones ka dher laga hua tha.
Uske jism se ek mukhtalif qisam ki aura nikal rahi thi—
jo pehle kabhi mehsoos nahi hui thi.
Jab se uski Lightning Affinity high-rank mein upgrade hui thi,
uski peeth ke peeche ek kaala daaira ban chuka tha
jo kaali bijli se chamak raha tha.
Sirf itna hi nahi,
uski mana absorb karne ki salahiyat bhi kai guna barh chuki thi.
Ab woh pehle ke muqablay mein
teen guna tez mana absorb kar sakta tha.
High Lightning Stones aur
High-Rank Mana Charm Elixir ne is raftar ko aur bhi tez kar diya tha.
Ab mana kheenchna Sikandar ke liye
saans lene jitna aasaan ho gaya tha.
Koi resistance nahi thi,
sab kuch hairat angez tor par smooth tha.
Sikandar ne aankhein kholi,
chand lamhon ke liye palkein jhapkayi taake aankhein adjust ho saken.
Phir usne apne kandhon par bane rune ko dekha—
uska lagbhag aadha hissa
zabardast energy se chamak raha tha.
Sirf ek meditation session ka nateeja dekh kar
Sikandar khud hairaan reh gaya.
“Kuch hi dino ya hafton mein main mid-rank four tak pohanch jaunga,”
usne dil mein socha.
Sikandar ne apni Force Manipulation skill bhi upgrade kar li thi.
Ab woh force ke peelay bulb tak pohanch chuka tha,
jo uske stats mein 20% ka izafa karta hai.
Agar insaniyat ne yeh dekha hota ke
Sikandar ne Force ka dusra layer samajh liya hai,
to poori duniya hil jati.
Force ka pehla layer master karna hi mushkil hota hai,
jab ke doosra layer sirf chand log hi samajh pate hain.
Yahan tak ke bohot se Supernaturals bhi
second layer tak nahi pohanch pate.
Is ke saath hi,
Sikandar pehle se bhi zyada khatarnaak ho chuka tha.
“System, Yule Moon ke dauran tum kya mashwara dete ho?”
Sikandar ne system se poocha.
Agla full moon, Yule Moon,
sirf chaar din door tha.
Warning ke mutabiq,
agar Sikandar Yule Moon ki roshni mein aaya
to woh raakh ban sakta tha.
Is liye chhupna to lazmi tha,
magar woh jaan’na chahta tha ke
kya is dauran koi faida bhi uthaya ja sakta hai.
<Kuch bhi nahi.
Yule Moon cursed Werewolf ke liye saza hota hai.
Is ki roshni kisi bhi Werewolf ko kamzor aur be-difa kar deti hai
aur aakhir kaar woh raakh ban jata hai.>
Yeh sun kar Sikandar ne bhonhein chadha li.
“Kuch bhi nahi… theek hai, phir sirf shelter hi dhoondhna hoga.”
Usne baen taraf dekha—
Adhara abhi bhi meditation mein thi.
Uski Fire Affinity bhi ab high-rank ho chuki thi.
Uski peeth ke peeche aag ka ghoomta hua daaira bana hua tha
jo khofnaak garmi phenk raha tha.
Glass box ki wajah se sab kuch control mein tha.
“Yahan shift hona bilkul sahi faisla tha,”
Sikandar ne relief mehsoos kiya.
Agar yeh sab Ochyra University mein hota,
to unki energy poori jagah barbaad kar deti
aur doosre students ko nuqsan pohanch sakta tha.
Faraday University ki advanced technology ki wajah se
yeh masla yahan nahi tha.
Adhara ko chhor kar,
Sikandar apne room ki taraf chal para.

Sikandar Emham Forest se bahar nikal gaya, us aadmi aur larki ko akela chhor kar.
“Mujhe unhein maar dena chahiye tha… lekin mere haath pehle hi khoon se bhare hue hain,” Sikandar ne dil hi dil mein socha.
Uske andar ek ajeeb bechaini uth rahi thi.
Woh bohot se log pehle hi maar chuka tha.
Jo log usne pehle maare the, sab bure log the. Sikandar jaanta tha ke woh sahi kaam tha.
Lekin ab… insaan ko maarna uske liye halka hota ja raha tha.
Sikandar ne apna haath dekha—woh garam tha, bilkul zinda.
Yeh ehsaas use dara gaya.
Woh insaanon ko maarne ki aadat daal raha tha… bilkul waise hi jaise woh supernatural makhlooq ko maarta tha.
Usne bhaunwen sikor li.
Uske zehan mein aik aik kar ke woh tamam chehre flash hone lage jinhein usne kabhi maara tha.
Usne mutthi band ki aur apne irade ko mazboot kiya.
“Mujhe aur taqatwar banna hoga… ek din aisa aayega jab main insaanon ko maarna chhor dunga,”
Apne aap ko sambhal kar Sikandar ne Emham Forest chhor diya.
Jungle se bahar nikalte hi, uski nazar kuch logon par pari jo light green uniform pehne hue thay.
Chaar log thay—do mard aur do auratein.
Sab Sikandar ki taraf ishara kar rahe thay ke woh paas aaye.
Sikandar unke paas gaya aur halki si gardan hila kar hello kiya.
Bina kisi lafz ke, woh use us jagah le chalne lage jahan uski mulaqat Reed Family se honi thi.
Unhon ne flying car istemal ki.
Yeh Sikandar ka pehli baar tha ke woh aisi gaari mein baitha.
Gaari ka interior kaafi spacious tha—paanch log araam se baith sakte thay.
Andar refreshments maujood thay aur seats mehngi leather ki bani hui thein, bohot comfortable.
Sikandar ne gaari ke andar maujood logon ko scan kiya.
Do log Peak Rank Five thay.
Baaki do unidentified thay—iska matlab yeh tha ke woh kam az kam Early Rank Six se upar thay.
System ke scan se use pata chala ke group ka leader Ari hai.
Safar bilkul khamoshi mein guzra.
Kisi ne baat nahi ki.
Do ghantay ke baad gaari land hui.
Sikandar ne bahar jhaanka aur bhaunwen sikor li.
“Yahan kyun ruk rahe hain? Mujhe laga meeting kisi ghar mein hogi,” Sikandar ne poocha.
Yeh jagah aik suburb area thi—keechad, tootay huay ghar, aur log jo phate purane kapray pehne ghoom rahe thay.
Kai log Sikandar aur unke saathiyon ko dekh kar bhaag gaye ya chhup gaye.
Yeh jagah yaqeenan Sector 3 nahi thi.
Ek aadmi ne jawab diya,
“Flying car zyada tawajjoh khainch leti hai.”
“Makes sense,” Sikandar ne socha.
Agar woh flying car use karte rehte to sab ko pata chal jata ke yeh log khaas aur powerful hain.
Aur jab Atkins Reed Family par ilzaam daal chuki hai, aisi attention unke liye khatarnak hoti.
Kuch minute chalne ke baad—
Sikandar achanak ruk gaya.
Usne aagay chalne wale aadmi ke paas ja kar dheemi awaaz mein kaha,
“Humhein follow kiya ja raha hai.”
Yeh sun kar leader ne baqi sab ko ishara diya ke tayyar ho jao.
Woh right side ek tang si gali mein mur gaye—
Gali itni tang thi ke sirf chaar log aik sath chal sakte thay.
Woh tez qadam se aagay barhne lage.
Lekin jaise hi woh gali se bahar nikalne wale thay—
Teen log saamne aa gaye.
Sab brown robes pehne hue thay jo unka poora jism dhak rahi thein.
Unki shaklon se hi lag raha tha ke woh shreef log nahi hain.
Ari ne foran peechay mur kar baqi logon ko ishara kiya—
Lekin tabhi peechay se bhi teen aur brown-robed log nikal aaye.
Gali band ho chuki thi.
Sikandar ne foran sab ko scan kiya.
Woh Ari ke kaan ke paas jhuk kar bola,
“Chaar Peak Rank Five… aur do Rank Six.”
Ari ne Sikandar ko dekha—
Uski aankhon mein aik lamhay ke liye hichkichahat aayi.
Phir Sikandar ke pur-azm chehre ko dekh kar usne gardan hila di.
“Jim, Regina aur Sikandar—tum log saamne wale group ko sambhalo,”
Ari ne hukam diya.
Jim—jiske kamar par daggers latak rahe thay—ne foran haan mein sir hila diya.
Ek aurat ne fikrmand ho kar kaha,
“Sir, aap? Aap do log ho aur teen se larenge?”
Ari ke honton par aik confident muskaan aa gayi.
Achaanak uski peeth ke peeche green rang ka spirit zahir hua—
Haath mein shield aur sword ke sath.
“Fikr mat karo,” Ari ne gardan ghoomate hue kaha,
“Main aur Irene peeche wale group ko jaldi khatam kar denge.”
Usne apni saber nikali.
Ari jismani tor par Sikandar se thora chhota tha,
lekin uska aura…
Bilkul goli ki tarah tha—jo bhi qareeb aaye, cheer kar rakh de.
Sikandar bhi hairaan reh gaya jab usne Ari ki violent aura mehsoos ki.
“Agar apni zindagi pyari hai,”
Ari ne tanziya lehje mein kaha,
“to raasta chhor do.”
Uske peeche khara spirit bhi taunt karte hue muskuraya.
Tabhi—
SWOOSH!
Brown-robed logon mein se aik achanak aagay barha.
Uski peeth se green par nikal aaye,
jo uski raftaar ko kai guna barha rahe thay.
CLANG!
Talwar aur saber aik dusre se zor daar takraate hain aur poori jagah par jang phoot parti hai.
Ari ko robed aadmi ke saath ladta dekh kar, Sikandar foran apni tamam skills activate kar leta hai, khud ko aane wali ladai ke liye tayar karta hua.
Us ka jism safed roshni se chamak uthta hai jab woh Pure Brace of Moonlight aur Force activate karta hai.
Jim aur Regina, jo Sikandar ke bilkul paas kharay thay, mehsoos kar sakte hain ke Sikandar ki power har second barhti ja rahi hai—jaise achanak us ki strength kai guna ho gayi ho.
CRACK!
Black Lightning Sikandar ke jism ke gird bhayanak andaaz mein lapakne lagti hai. Us ki aankhen chamak uthti hain jab woh kehta hai,
“Right wala mera hai!”
BOOM!
Zameen phat jaati hai jab Sikandar right side ke robed log par bijli ki raftaar se jhapatta hai.
Chehra dhaka hone ke bawajood, robed aadmi us shock ko mehsoos karta hai jab Sikandar aik pal mein us ke saamne pohanch kar us se takra jata hai.
Aik hi jhatkay mein dono peeche ki taraf ja phainkay jaate hain.
Ab raat ho chuki thi.
Creature of the Night aur baqi skills ke boost ke saath, Sikandar ki power dugni ho chuki thi—ab woh mid Rank Five, balkeh peak Rank Five ke barabar khara tha!
Sikandar ko pehla move chhente dekh kar, Regina aur Jim bhi baqi robed logon par toot paray.
Sikandar khud ko sambhal kar us aadmi ki taraf lapakta hai jo abhi uthne ki koshish kar raha tha. Us ke muqay safed roshni se chamak uthte hain jab woh Force Beam activate karta hai.
BOOM!
Mukay ka nishana chook jaata hai aur seedha peeche wali deewar par lagta hai—deewar aik hi hit mein tabah ho jaati hai.
Itna bada suraakh ban jata hai ke ghar ke andar maujood logon par eent aur pathar girte hain.
Cheekh-o-pukaar mach jaati hai aur log bhaag nikalte hain jab unhein samajh aata hai ke jang shuru ho chuki hai.
Sikandar jese hi samne dekhta hai—
Us ke chehre ke bilkul paas aik mooka pehle se maujood hota hai.
BAM!
Sikandar hawa mein uchaal diya jata hai, bilkul jet ki tarah. Us ka jism deewar se takrata hai, deewar ko cheer kar chhat se bahar phat jata hai.
‘Close-combat Awakened…’
Sikandar sochta hai.
Us ka enhanced body aam mukay ko aasani se rok sakta tha, lekin yeh punch waqai dardnaak tha.
Is ka matlab tha ke samne wala Awakened apne mana se apna jism mazboot karna bakhoobi janta tha.
BOOM! BOOM!
Door door se larai ki awaazein aa rahi hoti hain—poora sector chaos mein doob chuka tha.
Sikandar samne dekhta hai jab robed aadmi apni chadar utaarta hai.
Us ke neeche aik mazboot, barbarian jaisa aadmi hota hai—baazuon par tattoos, jism aur chehre par gehri scars, jo is baat ki gawahi deti hain ke woh aik tajurba-kaar fighter hai. Us ke paas koi weapon nahi—sirf us ke fists.
Apne competitive ko dekh kar Sikandar ka khoon ubal uthta hai.
Woh apni t-shirt phaar deta hai, steel ki tarah trained muscular body numaya hoti hai. Woh haath utha kar taunting ishara karta hai.
Barbarian aadmi hairaan reh jata hai—Sikandar ka jism us se zyada developed tha.
Magar Sikandar ke chehre par maujood challenge us ka khoon jala deta hai.
“RAAARGH!!”
BOOM!
Woh ghussay mein bail ki tarah Sikandar ki taraf lapakta hai, kamar se pakar kar tackle karne ki koshish karta hai—
Magar nakaam.
Us ki poori taqat bhi kaafi nahi hoti.
Sikandar sirf kuch meters peeche sarakta hai, zameen phat jaati hai, phir woh aadmi ko rok kar us ki reedh ki haddi par zor daar elbow marta hai.
BAM!
“Huakh!!” aadmi dard se karha uthta hai.
Woh zameen par pattak diya jata hai.
Sikandar follow-up attack ke liye aage barhta hai, magar achanak aadmi ka jism hari roshni se chamak uthta hai.
Aur phir—
SLASH!
Hawa ka aik tez waar Sikandar ke chehre ko cheer deta hai. Woh bilkul unexpected tha.
Aadmi uth khara hota hai.
Us ke muqay hawa ke mana se bhar jaate hain, aik wind barrier ban jata hai. Ghussay mein woh punch marta hai—
BOOM!
Magar Sikandar peeche nahi jata.
Us ka haath aage barhta hai aur woh mukka pakar leta hai.
Kaali bijli us ke jism ke gird lapakti hai, aur black aur green mana ke takraane se bhayanak chingari paida hoti hai.
Aadmi ki aankhen phail jaati hain.
Phir Sikandar ke chehre par aik khaufnaak muskurahat ubharti hai.
STAB!
Sikandar ke haath achanak claws mein tabdeel ho jaate hain.
Woh aadmi ke mukay ko cheer dete hain—paanch gehre suraakh, haath bilkul barbaad.
“ARGHHH!!”
Aadmi cheekh uthta hai. Us ka haath latakta hua gosht ban chuka hota hai.
Woh dehshat se Sikandar ko dekhta hai,
“Yeh… yeh kaise mumkin hai?”
Sikandar jawab nahi deta—sirf muskurata hai.
Zameen siyah ho jaati hai jab woh Black Field Orko activate karta hai. Kaali bijli aadmi ke jism ko jakar leti hai, use hilne tak nahi deti.
Siyah, thandi aura us ke andar bhar jaati hai.
Dehshat.
Bina waqt zaya kiye—
SLASH!
Sikandar aik hi waar mein us ka sar uda deta hai.
Sar hawa mein ghoomta hai aur phir zameen par bhaari awaaz ke saath girta hai.
<Mid Rank Five Awakened maara gaya – 300,000 EXP hasil hui>
Jang khatam hone ke baad, Sikandar wapas gali mein aata hai.
Wahan baqi larai bhi khatam ho chuki hoti hai.
Woh Ari ke paas jata hai—us ke qareeb aik laash pari hoti hai. Regina aur Irene bhi zameen par bejaan paray hotay hain.
Woh robed logon se haar chuki hoti hain.
Ari aur Jim ne mil kar Rank Six Awakened ko maara hota hai, phir Ari ne baqi sab ko mita diya tha.
Ari kuch dair khamosh rehta hai, phir kehta hai,
“Chalo, aage barhte hain.”
Sikandar laashon ko dekhta hai, gehri saans leta hai, phir unhein qareebi garbage container mein rakh kar Ari aur Jim ke peeche chal padta hai.
Aadha ghanta chalne ke baad—
Woh apni manzil par pohanchte hain.
Aik ghar, jo kai Awakened se ghira howa tha. Sab se kamzor bhi Rank Five hota hai.
Aur sab se taqatwar—
Andar....
Sikandar ko system ki zarurat nahi hoti. Woh mana mehsoos kar sakta tha.
‘Yeh mana… ajeeb hai,’ woh sochta hai.
Yeh aam mana jaisa nahi tha—ziyada ghana, zyada bhari… aur kuch aur bhi.
Guard ke saath andar ja kar—
Woh aik aadmi ko throne par baitha dekhta hai.
Aankhon mein thandi shahanshahi nazar.
Siyah baal, jinhon mein safedi ki lakeer. Jism kamzor magar mana la-mehdood.
Us ke dono hathon ki hatheliyon mein suraakh hotay hain—magar khoon nahi beh raha hota.
Aur us ke paas—
Deniz.
Wahi jis se Sikandar pehle cafe mein detective ke saath mila tha.
“Khush aamdeed, Sikandar,” Deniz kehta hai.
“Suna hai raaste mein mushkil aayi… magar tum pohanch gaye.”
Phir muskurate hue kehta hai,
“Umeed hai spellbooks mehfooz hongi.”
Sikandar halka sa jhuk kar jawab deta hai,
“Ji, sab mere paas hain.”
Woh adab se baat karta hai—kyun ke throne par baitha aadmi usay ghore ja raha hota hai.
‘Yahi hoga… Reed Family ka sardar,’
‘Stevanus Reed.’
_ _ _ _
Sikandar ne Stevanus ki taraf dekha jo apni kursi par pur-sukoon baitha hua tha. Uski aankhon mein halki si anticipation thi — ek aisi nazar jo Sikandar ko bechain kar rahi thi.
Poora ghar taqatwar logon se bhara hua tha. Un mein se bohot se aise thay jo asaani se Sikandar ko shikast de sakte thay.
Sab ki nazar Sikandar par thi, jo kamray ke beechon-beech khara tha. Guards ke haath apni talwaron aur bandookon ke hilt par thay, bilkul tayyar.
Sab khaufnaak thay…
lekin Sikandar sab se zyada us aurat se hoshiyar tha jo uske baen janib khari thi.
Woh aurat deewar ke saath tek laga kar gum chaba rahi thi. Dekhne mein sust aur careless lag rahi thi, magar Sikandar uski tezi mehsoos kar sakta tha.
Usay poora yaqeen tha — agar usne koi bewaqoofi ki, toh sab se pehle goli wahi aurat chalayegi.
“Sir, yehi hai woh jawan jiska maine aap se zikar kiya tha… Sikandar Silverstar,”
Deniz ne halki si jhukawat ke saath Stevanus ke kaan mein kaha.
Yeh sunkar Stevanus ne apni nazar dobara Sikandar par jamai.
Uski bhari hui awaaz kamray mein goonj uthi,
“Maine tumhare baare mein bohot suna hai. Deniz ke mutabiq, Atkins Family ko nuksaan pohanchane wala plan tumhara tha.”
“Aap ke alfaaz mujhe sharminda kar rahe hain, Sir,”
Sikandar ne adab se jawab diya,
“Maine bas wahi kaha jo us waqt zehan mein aaya.”
Stevanus muskuraya — thodi si tafreeh ke saath.
Usne umeed nahi ki thi ke itna berahm aur ruthless plan banane wala shakhs itna narm mizaj hoga. Use laga tha Sikandar ghuroor se bhara hoga.
Stevanus ne apni wind mana ka istemal karte hue hawa mein paison ka ek illusionary dher bana diya.
“Tumhara banaya hua plan be-misaal tha,”
usne kaha.
“Atkins Family ke under factories humne kamyabi se raid kar li. Wesley ka right-hand Hans wahan maujood nahi tha. Poori tarah be-difa.”
Haath ke ek ishare se paison ka dher hawa mein bikhar gaya.
Sikandar ne sar jhuka kar kaha,
“Mujhe khushi hai ke maine aap ka waqt zaya nahi kiya, Sir.”
Stevanus ki aankhein baaz ki tarah tez ho gayin.
“Plan laajawab tha… magar kya wahi tumhara akhri plan tha?”
Sikandar thora hairaan ho gaya.
“Jo shakhs aisa be-reham plan bana sakta hai, woh itna simple nahi hota,”
Stevanus ne kaha.
“Mujhe hairani hogi agar tumne Atkins Family ke saath koi aur deal na ki ho.”
Is shak bhari nazar ne Sikandar ke andar ajeeb si bechaini paida kar di.
Masla Stevanus ka cautious hona nahi tha —
masla uska Sikandar ko neeche se dekhna tha.
Pehle Atkins Family…
ab Reed Family…
sab use apni bulandi se hi dekh rahe thay.
Sikandar ne gehri saans li aur kaha,
“Aap ka sawal bilkul jaiz hai, Sir. Magar maine unke saath koi deal nahi ki.”
Yeh aik jhoot tha —
lekin aisi deal bhi nahi jo Reed Family ko bara nuksaan pohanchati.
Yeh sab sirf waqt khareedne ke liye tha…
taake Sikandar khud ko aur taqatwar bana sake.
“Aur Adhara kaisi hai?”
Stevanus ne halki si muskurahat ke saath poocha.
“Zehar ka asar theek raha?”
Adhara ka naam sunte hi Sikandar ki reedh ki haddi mein gussa daur gaya —
magar usne khud ko sambhal liya.
‘Isay zehar ke baare mein pata hai…’
Stevanus ne Deniz ki taraf dekh kar kaha,
“Deniz ke mutabiq, Wesley is baat par bohot ghussa hai ke humne unhein poison kiya. Main buddha ho sakta hoon, magar itna nahi ke main yeh sab bhool jaoon.”
Kamray ka mahaul achanak bhaari ho gaya.
Guards ki nazarain seedha Sikandar par jam gayin.
Sab ki tawajjo ke darmiyan, Sikandar pur-sukoon raha aur Stevanus ki aankhon mein dekhta raha.
Phir usne kaha,
“Main sirf aik aam aadmi hoon. Aur aap… aap 25 Golden Crest ke beech aik titan hain.”
“Atkins Family ka aap par bhonkna koi nayi baat nahi, hai na?
Kya badla hai? Kuch bhi nahi.”
Kamray mein maut jaisi khamoshi chhaa gayi.
Itni gehri khamoshi ke agar sui bhi girti toh awaaz aa jati.
Stevanus ki thandi nazar Sikandar se mili hui thi.
Sikandar be-harkat khara raha, magar la-shaoori tor par usne thook nigla.
Aur phir achanak—
“HAHAHAHA!”
Stevanus zor-zor se hansne laga.
Itna ke aankhon se aansu nikal aaye.
Yeh achanak hansna Sikandar ke liye hairat-angez tha.
Aansu ponchte hue Stevanus ne kaha,
“Wesley the Bad ko kutta kehne ki himmat… poori Ratmawati City mein sirf tum mein hai.”
Guards bhi halki hansi hansne lagay.
“Mujhe yeh bacha pasand aa gaya,”
Stevanus muskuraya.
“Ab thoda afsos hota hai ke tumne Reed Family join karne ki daawat thukra di.”
“Deal barqarar rahe gi,”
usne aage kaha.
“Spellbooks dene ke baad, Reed Family tumhari aur tumhare khandaan ki hifazat kare gi.”
Sikandar ne sukoon ka saans li aur sar hila diya.
Deniz ne ishara kiya.
Sikandar ne apni inventory se teen spellbooks nikale, unhein upar utha kar guards ko dikhaya ke woh be-hathyar hai, phir Stevanus ko de diye.
Stevanus ne unki authenticity check ki.
Deniz ne sar hila diya.
Aik guard ne Sikandar ke samne do bags phenk diye.
“Deal ke mutabiq:
10 Million Dollars aur 5,000 High Elemental Stones,”
Deniz ne kaha.
“Qismat ne chaha toh phir mulaqat hogi.”
Stevanus kursi se utha…
aur hawa mein ghul gaya.
Sikandar ne bags check kiye.
“Tumhari wajah se tum aur tumari family Reed Family ke qareeb aa gaye ho,”
Deniz muskuraya.
Jab guards Sikandar ko bahar le jaane lage, Sikandar ne kaha,
“Deniz, aik sawal pooch sakta hoon?”
“Poocho.”
“Kya aap ke paas High Dark Stones hain?”
Deniz hairaan ho gaya.
“Dark Stones? Kis liye? Tumhare qareebi logon mein koi Dark Elementalist nahi.”
“Research ke liye,”
Sikandar ne bahana banaya.
Deniz ne socha, phir ungli chatai.
“Shayad mid-rank ke kuch hon. Humein faida nahi. Chahiye?”
“Main paisay de doon ga—”
“Nahi,”
Deniz ne rok diya.
“Yeh toh hamari tauheen hogi. Tumhare room mein bhejwa dein ge.”
Deniz bahar nikal gaya.
‘Lift bhi nahi di…’
usne dil mein tanziya socha,
‘Khair…’
Usne bags ki taraf dekha, aankhon mein chamak aa gayi.
‘Is se hum kam az kam Rank Six pohanch sakte hain…
aur Supernatural territory mein qadam rakh sakte hain.’
Sikandar foran Ochyra University ki taraf rawana ho gaya.
Ab intezar bardasht se bahar tha.
Training shuru hone wali thi.
.

Scarlet Banes Kingdom – Supernatural Territory
Scarlet Banes Kingdom ke andar, raat ke andhere mein, kai Werewolves mil kar zameen khod rahe thay. Woh lakri ke mote mote planks istemal kar ke zameen ke neeche aik underground kamra bana rahe thay.
Agarche woh supernatural thay, lekin unka teamwork bilkul insano jaisa perfect tha—har koi apni zimmedari bakhoobi nibha raha tha.
King Baralt apne qile ke balcony mein khara tha. Uske haath mein aik mazer tha jisse woh aik ajnabi si liquid sip kar raha tha. Neeche apni qaum ko kaam karta dekhte hue, uski aankhon mein pur-sukoon si chamak thi.
Raat ka waqt tha, aur chandni seedha uske jism par par rahi thi.
Uske jism ke gird aik gehri neeli aura thi jo dheere dheere aur zyada taqatwar hoti ja rahi thi. Chandni uske liye fuel ki tarah kaam kar rahi thi—uske jism ko fresh aur mazboot bana rahi thi.
Achaanak, uske peeche sunehri armor mein lipta hua aik Werewolf zahir hota hai.
Woh foran ghutno ke bal jhuk kar kehta hai,
“Mere Badshah, main Vampire Kingdom se mutaliq aik khabar laya hoon jo shayad aap ke liye ahmiyat rakhti ho.”
King Baralt mazer ko side par rakhta hai aur gehri awaaz mein kehta hai,
“Bolo.”
Werewolf adab se bolta hai,
“Hamare spy ne bataya hai ke Vampires ne insani ilaqon par raid ki hai aur sainkron insano ko aghwa kar liya hai. Usne apni aankhon se un insano ko dekha hai.”
Woh aik lamha ruk kar phir kehta hai,
“Uske ilawa, raat ke waqt Vampire Castle par Solomon ki energy mehsoos ho rahi hai… jo aam tor par nahi hota.”
King Baralt ki bhawein sikur jaati hain. Thandi raat ki hawa mein uski fur lehrati hai.
‘Yeh kya kar rahe hain?’
‘Kya yeh apni tadaad barhane ka koi naya tareeqa dhoond chuke hain?’
‘Ya phir koi qurbani…?’
Woh dheere se sar hila deta hai.
‘Nahi… duniya abhi un ke liye tayar nahi.’
Kuch dair sochne ke baad woh hukm deta hai,
“Yeh khabar foran King Oddity tak pohanchao. Humein sach ka pata lagana hi hoga—har haal mein.”
.
.
.
.
Ochyra University – Training Hall
Sikandar khushi se bhara hua Ochyra University wapas aa chuka tha. Uske chehre par muskurahat thi jab woh Training Hall ki taraf ja raha tha—jahan Adhara ne use milne ko kaha tha.
Jaise hi woh hall ke andar dakhil hota hai, kai students khud-bakhud uske liye raasta bana dete hain.
Uski nazar aik jagah par padti hai jahan students ka ghaira bana hua tha, sab kisi ko hairani se dekh rahe thay. Sikandar foran samajh gaya—
Adhara.
Woh Adhara ko dekh kar ruk jaata hai. Adhara apni dagger-wielding skills practice kar rahi thi, apne element ko har attack mein shamil karti hui—har move lethal aur precise tha.
Achaanak Adhara ko Sikandar ki presence mehsoos hoti hai.
Woh mur kar ke muskurate hue pukarti hai,
“Sikandar!”
Practice rokte hue woh uske paas aati hai aur poochti hai,
“Kaam ho gaya? Un logon se milna complete ho gaya?”
Jaise hi crowd Sikandar ko dekh leta hai, log dheere dheere chhat jaate hain. Kuch log Sikandar ko boo karte hain, lekin woh unhein bilkul nazarandaz kar deta hai—jaise woh maujood hi na hon.
Sikandar excited awaaz mein kehta hai,
“Haan! Aur sirf itna hi nahi… mujhe un se kuch aisa mila hai jo tum dekh kar hairaan reh jaogi.”
Adhara ki aankhon mein tajassus chamak uthta hai.
Uski bechain nazron ko dekh kar Sikandar hans deta hai aur use room ki taraf le jaata hai.
Lekin nikalte waqt, Sikandar achaanak ruk jaata hai.
‘Abhi bhi peak Rank Three… aur will bhi kamzor,’
woh dil mein sochta hai, bina peeche dekhe chalna jari rakhta hai.
Jis shakhs ko usne mehsoos kiya tha, woh larki apne hont daba leti hai aur khamoshi se wahan se chali jaati hai.
Room ke Andar
Adhara jaise hi andar aati hai, foran kehti hai,
“Ab batao! Mujh se aur intezaar nahi ho raha!”
Sikandar usay chedte hue kehta hai,
“Aankhein band karo. Jo main laaya hoon, woh tumhari soch se bhi zyada hoga.”
Adhara pouting ke sath aankhein band kar leti hai.
Sikandar bathroom jaane ka drama karta hai aur apni inventory se bags nikal kar Adhara ke peeche rakh deta hai.
“Ab murho.”
Adhara jaise hi aankhein khol kar murti hai—
“GASP—!”
Woh hairani se apna munh dhak leti hai.
Uske saamne do bags thay.
Aik bag mein $10 million cash
Doosre bag mein 5,000 Elemental Stones, jo neeli aur laal roshni se chamak rahe thay
Deniz ne sirf Fire aur Lightning Stones diye thay, kyun ke unhein pata tha Sikandar kin logon ke saath yeh stones share karega.
Is mein shamil thay:
3,000 High Lightning Stones
2,000 High Fire Stones
Itni bari quantity dekh kar Sikandar khud bhi kabhi shikayat ka soch nahi sakta tha—yeh uske liye sapne se kam nahi tha.
Adhara bharpoor hairani ke sath Sikandar ko dekhti hai aur kehti hai,
“Tum ne waqai apna plan kamyaab kar liya… mujhe yaqeen hi nahi aa raha!”
_ _ _
Adhara ki aankhein chamak uthti hain jab woh bikhri hui High Elemental Stones ko dekhti hai. Usay aik lamhe ke liye lagta hai jaise woh khwab dekh rahi ho, kyun ke yeh manzar itna be-yaqeen hai ke sach lagta hi nahi.
Yeh sab too good to be true tha.
Agar koi bhi itni zyada High Elemental Stones dekhe,
sirf students hi nahi, balkay lecturers tak inhein chura lene ka sochain.
Yeh stones kisi bhi Awakened ko powerhouse bana sakti hain.
Jab koi Awakened peak rank five tak pohanch jaye,
toh jahan bhi woh jata hai, aik badi hasti samjha jata hai.
Agar woh Ratmawati City mein ho, toh shayad first aur second sector mein utna khaas na ho,
lekin phir bhi uski izzat hoti hai.
Magar agar woh kisi aur shehar ka rukh kare,
toh log usey khuda jaisa samajh kar poojte hain.
Uski har zaroorat poori ki jati hai, chahe woh kitni hi mushkil kyun na ho.
Kisi shehar mein aik peak rank five Awakened ka hona aik bohat badi barkat hoti hai,
kyun ke aksar Supernaturals jo raid karte hain, rank five se upar nahi hote.
Is liye aise Awakened ki mojoodgi shehar ki hifazat ko almost yaqini bana deti hai.
Sirf kuch hi ghair-mamooli waqiat, jaise Zrolis City ka attack
jahan werewolves ke leader mein aik poori horde ne tabahi macha di thi,
aise shehar ko gira sakte hain — aur aisa dobara hona bohat hi kam imkaan rakhta hai.
“Tum ne yeh sab kaise hasil kiya?”
Adhara ne poocha, jab ke uski nazar abhi bhi stones par jammi hui thi.
Sikandar halki si muskurahat ke sath hans pada aur bola,
“Bas aik deal ki thi… aur sab kuch plan ke mutabiq ho gaya.”
Phir aik lamhe ke liye ruk kar usne kaha,
“Yeh sab tumhari wajah se possible hua.”
Yeh sun kar Adhara hairani se Sikandar ki taraf dekhti hai.
Apni khushi ko control na karte hue woh uchal kar Sikandar ko gale laga leti hai.
Uske chehre par muskurahat hoti hai, kyun ke usey unka mustaqbil roshan nazar aa raha hota hai.
Jab Sikandar ko Karan ke paida kiye hue maslay ka pata chala tha,
toh woh ghabra gaya tha, uska dimagh bilkul blank ho chuka tha.
Magar Adhara ne usey sambhala, usey calm kiya,
aur isi ki wajah se Sikandar aik behtareen plan bana saka.
Aisa plan jo na sirf masla hal karta hai,
balkay unhein bohat zyada faida bhi deta hai.
Yeh kehna ghalat nahi hoga ke yeh sab Adhara ke baghair mumkin hi nahi tha.
“Achha, ab saman pack karo,”
Sikandar ne kaha jab Adhara usey chhor deti hai.
“Hum aaj hi Faraday University shift ho rahe hain.
Wahan reh kar training zyada efficient hogi.”
Adhara ne sar hila kar haan ki.
Magar jab Sikandar bahar jane laga, toh ruk kar bola,
“Lekin pehle hum tumhare father ke paas jayenge…
main unka bazu heal karunga.”
Yeh keh kar Sikandar kamre se nikal gaya,
aur Adhara ke chehre par aik sukoon bhari muskurahat aa gayi.
.
.
Sikandar apne kamre se nikal kar Vargas ko call karta hai
aur usey batata hai ke woh aur Adhara aaj hi Faraday University transfer ho rahe hain.
Vargas yeh sun kar bohat khush hota hai
aur foran log arrange kar deta hai jo unhein pick kar sakein.
Call khatam karte hi Sikandar ka phone dobara ring karta hai,
iss dafa aik unknown number se.
“Hello?” Sikandar ne phone uthaya.
Dusri taraf se awaaz aati hai,
“Sikandar, main ne tumhari hifazat ke liye log bhej diye hain.
Woh university pohanch chuke hain.
Tum unhein jaisa chaho command kar sakte ho.”
Yeh Deniz tha,
jisne pehle hi Sikandar ke liye guards arrange kar diye the.
“Main abhi unse milta hoon,”
Sikandar ne kaha aur lobby ki taraf chala gaya.
Lobby mein pohanchte hi paanch log uski taraf badhte hain.
Un mein se do chehre Sikandar ke liye pehchanay hue hote hain —
Ari aur Jim,
jo pehle usey Stevanus Reed se milwane le kar gaye thay.
Ari aik qadam aage badh kar kehta hai,
“Hum ab aap ke command ke under hain.”
“Formalities ki zaroorat nahi,”
Sikandar ne adab se kaha.
“Tum sab mujh se zyada taqatwar ho.”
Baaki teen naye chehre apna ta’aruf karwate hain —
Jayendra, Dinesh, aur Hamza.
Sikandar un sab ko scan karta hai
aur mehsoos karta hai ke Jim aur Ari ke ilawa bhi
baqi sab peak rank five ke qareeb hain,
aur clearly trained Awakened lagte hain.
“Tasks dene se pehle,”
Sikandar ne kaha,
“main yeh poochna chahta hoon ke
kya tum mein se koi yahan zabardasti bheja gaya hai?”
Jayendra hans kar bola,
“Zabardasti?
Us student ke under kaam karna jisne Wesley ko kutta kaha ho,
yeh toh hamaray liye izzat ki baat hai.”
“Woh bhi seedha munh par,”
Dinesh hans kar bola.
“Bohat zyada guts chahiye hotay hain.”
Hamza bas halki si muskurahat ke sath haan mein sar hila deta hai.
Sikandar bhi muskurata hai,
“Phir toh achha hai.
Mujhe khushi hai ke tum sab pur-josh ho.”
Phir Sikandar apni assignments karta hai:
Jim aur Dinesh → Sikandar
ke parents ki hifazat
Hamza aur Jayendra → Adhara ke father ki hifazat
Ari → Sikandar aur Adhara ke sath rehne ke liye
Jim aur Dinesh foran Sikandar ke parents ke ghar rawana ho jate hain.
Sikandar pehle hi apni mom ko inform kar chuka hota hai
ke do log unki protection ke liye ayenge.
Mrs. Greene Sikandar ka shukriya ada karti hain
aur usey tasalli deti hain ke woh bilkul theek hain,
taake Sikandar be-fikar reh sake.
Sikandar phir Adhara se mila aur usay poori kahani batayi.
Jo kuch bhi Sikandar ne kiya tha, usay sun kar Adhara aur bhi zyada hairaan reh gayi.
Na sirf Sikandar ne aise items hasil kiye thay jo un sab ko aur zyada powerful bana sakte thay, balkay us ne Reed Family ke sath dosti bhi bana li thi aur apni aur Adhara dono ki families ko protect karne ka intezam bhi kar diya tha.
Sab se zyada Adhara ka dil is baat ne chhoo liya ke Sikandar ne uske father ki hifazat ke liye do peak Rank Five Awakened assign kar diye thay.
Yeh soch kar hi Adhara ki aankhon mein jazbaat bhar aaye.
Phir dono Adhara ke father se milne gaye.
Uske baad, Sikandar aur Adhara ne Ochyra University ki taraf aakhri baar dekha.
Yeh unka yahan aakhri din tha.
Wapas aane ka koi irada nahi tha.
Lekin un dono ko is baat ka ilm nahi tha ke andar hi andar se koi unhen dekh raha tha.
Ek shaks, haath mein wine ka glass liye, dheere dheere usay hila raha tha.
Uski nazar Sikandar aur Adhara par jami hui thi.
Uske chehre par napasandeedgi aur jalan saaf nazar aa rahi thi.
Phir woh shaks muh mod kar wahan se hat gaya.
.
.
.

Dusri traaf
Suraj is waqt Faraday University ki taraf wapas ja raha tha.
Woh apni gaari mein betha hua tha, aaram se cigarette peeta hua.
Karan aur Ryze ki training mein madad karne ke baad, aur Sikandar ki request poori karne ke baad, aakhir kaar usey apne ghar wapas jane ka moka mila tha — Sector 3E mein.
Uske chehre se thakan saaf jhalak rahi thi.
Pichhle kuch dinon ne usay andar tak thaka diya tha.
Jo kaam Sikandar ne usey diya tha, woh bilkul aasaan nahi tha — uska jism bhi is baat ka gawah tha.
Suraj ne bheer bhari sadak ki taraf dekha, lekin uski aankhein khaali lag rahi thi.
Jaise woh kahin aur hi kho gaya ho.
Uski expression se lag raha tha ke uske dimaag mein bohot kuch chal raha hai.
Woh cigarette ka gehra kash leta hai aur dheere se dhuan bahar nikalta hai.
HONK!!
Achanak Suraj ghabra kar steering side mein ghooma deta hai.
Woh saamne se aane wali gaari se bas thoda sa bach jata hai.
“Yeh khatarnak tha,” usne dil hi dil mein socha aur gaari ko dobara seedha kiya.
Uski ghaflat usey hadsa karwa sakti thi.
Magar ajeeb baat yeh thi ke usey zyada farq nahi pada.
Aakhir, ek Awakened ab gaari ke accident se asaani se marne wala nahi tha.
Gaari sambhalne ke baad, Suraj jaise kisi faislay par pohanch gaya.
Achanak usne ek tez right turn liya.
Peechay wali gaariyan gusse mein horn bajane lagin.
Suraj ne race par paon rakh diya aur gaari tez raftaar se sadak par daura di.
Teen ghante ke safar ke baad,
Suraj aik jagah par pohancha.
Magar yeh Faraday University nahi thi.
Uske samne ek chhoti si imarat thi jo hospital jaisi lag rahi thi, lekin zyada tar ek purani drugstore ka ehsaas de rahi thi.
Yeh jagah ek tang gali mein thi, jahan qadeem tarz ki imaratein mojood thi.
Suraj gaari se bahar nikla aur andar ki taraf chal pada.
“Hi, kya main aap ki madad kar sakti hoon?”
Receptionist ne poocha jab Suraj counter ke paas aaya.
Suraj ne wallet nikala aur us mein se ek receipt nikaali.
“Meri appointment hai… Doctor Velma Zeitler ke sath.”
Usne receipt usay de di.
Receptionist ne receipt parh kar computer check kiya aur kaha,
“Doctor Velma thodi dair mein available hongi, please wahan beth jayein.”
Suraj waiting area mein beth gaya aur apna phone use karne laga.
Yeh jagah ajeeb logon se bhari hui thi.
Sirf kuch hi minute mein usne dekha:
Koi gusse mein tha,
Koi ro raha tha,
Aur koi bilkul khaali nazron se dekh raha tha.
Uske paas ek buzurg aadmi betha hua tha.
Woh bohot kamzor lag raha tha — poore safed baal, patla jism, aur larazti hui halat.
Suraj ko laga jaise woh theek se chal bhi nahi sakta.
Yeh bilkul mukhtalif tha kisi old Awakened se.
Ek budha Awakened ab bhi seedha khara ho sakta tha, sirf jhurriyan aur safed baal hi uski umar ka saboot hotay.
Research ke mutabiq, Awakened ki zindagi aam insaan se kaafi lambi hoti hai.
Kuch log 100 saal se bhi zyada jee chuke thay, phir bhi taqat se bharpoor.
Abhi tak sab se zyada umar 115 saal record hui thi — aur woh bhi limit nahi mani ja rahi thi.
“Beta, tum yahan kyun aaye ho?”
Budday aadmi ne bhari aur bhur-bhuri awaaz mein poocha.
Suraj hairani se uski taraf dekhta hai.
“Aap ki awaaz…” woh ruk gaya, phir bola,
“Meri zindagi kaafi mushkil hai.”
“Huh!”
Budday ne tanz se hansi.
“Tum abhi jawan ho aur is jagah aa gaye ho?
Agar bimar hotay to samajh aata, magar mushkil zindagi sirf tumhari nahi hoti.”
“Zindagi bohot chhoti hai beta,”
Budday ne baat aage barhai,
“Is jagah par waqt zaya karne ke liye nahi.”
Usi waqt receptionist ne budday ka naam pukara.
Doctor unka intezar kar raha tha.
Budday ne Suraj ko alvida kaha aur chala gaya.
Uske jaate hi Suraj ne phone dobara uthaya aur dheemi awaaz mein bola:
“Main bahar se bimar nahi hoon…
Lekin agar tum meri jagah hotay,
toh shayad kab ka khudkushi kar chuke hotay.”
Woh phone use kar hi raha tha ke ek aurat safed coat mein, haath mein tray liye, uske paas se guzri.
Achanak uska paon phisla.
CLANG!!
Tray zameen par gir gayi.
Is awaaz ke saath hi Suraj achanak khara ho gaya.
Usne saamne wali metallic seat ko mazbooti se pakra aur ek jhatke mein usay phaad diya.
Phir woh kamray ke kone mein jump kar gaya.
Doctor aur log hairani se usey dekhne lagay.
Suraj ke haath mein tooti hui metallic seat thi, aur woh tez saans le raha tha.
Uski aankhein idhar-udhar ghoom rahi thi, jaise woh kahin aur hi ho.
Phir achanak usey hosh aaya.
CLANG!
Usne lohe ke tukray zameen par gira diye aur sharmindagi se wapas apni jagah beth gaya.
Log ajeeb nazron se usey dekh rahe thay.
Tab receptionist ne Suraj ka naam pukara.
Usey Doctor Velma ke kamray ki taraf le jaya gaya.
Kamra pichlay hissay mein tha — pur-sukoon, khamosh, aur phoolon aur podon se bhara hua.
Suraj ne darwaza knock kiya aur andar chala gaya.
“Mr. Suraj, please andar aaiye aur bethiye,”
Doctor Velma ne muskurate hue kaha.
Suraj ne ijazat li aur unke saamne kursi par beth gaya.
Doctor Velma tees ke qareeb umar ki aurat thi.
Uski brown skin, ponytail mein bandhe howe kale baal, aur phoolon wali casual dress usay soft aur positive bana rahi thi.
Sirf uski muskurahat hi sukoon dene ke liye kaafi thi.
Suraj ke bethne ke baad Doctor Velma boli,
“Mujhe hairani hai ke aap itni jaldi aa gaye.
Maine kaha tha next session aglay mahine hoga.
Kya baat hai jo aap yahan aa gaye?”
Suraj ne nazar jhuka li.
“Yeh… aur zyada kharab ho raha hai,”
woh haklate hue bola,
“Mujhe samajh nahi aa raha ke kya karoon.”
Doctor Velma ke chehre par foran fikr ubhar aayi.
“Bataiye,”
usne narmi se kaha,
“Sab kuch bataiye.”
_ _ _
Suraj ne apna sar jhuka liya aur table ke neeche apne haath bechaini se ghoomne laga. Kuch lamhon baad us ne dheemi awaaz mein kaha,
“Session ke baad pichlay kuch hafton mein main behtar mehsoos kar raha tha… mujhe laga tha ke shayad main recover ho chuka hoon.”
Phir uski awaaz kaanpne lagi.
“Lekin pichlay do dinon se… sab kuch wapas aane laga hai.”
Woh Suraj jo hamesha Sikandar ko tease karta rehta tha, mazaq karta tha jaise usay kisi cheez ki parwah hi na ho—woh Suraj kahin kho gaya tha. Is waqt woh dara hua, kaanpta hua aur bilkul bebas lag raha tha.
Agar Sikandar usay is haal mein dekhta, toh yaqeenan hairaan reh jata.
Suraj ka is tarah hona bilkul normal nahi tha—yeh aisa lag raha tha jaise woh andar se toot chuka ho.
“Tum ne aisi koi cheez dekhi ya mehsoos ki jo is cheez ko trigger kar sakti ho?” Dr. Velma ne narmi se poocha.
“Purani tasveerein, ya kisi puranay jaan pehchan walay ka phone?”
Yeh sun kar Suraj ne apna sar aur zyada jhuka liya.
Uska reaction dekh kar Dr. Velma ne apni aankhen sikor li.
“Agar tum chahte ho ke main tumhari madad karoon, toh tumhein sab kuch batana hoga, Suraj.”
Kuch dair khamoshi ke baad,
Suraj ne aakhir kaar bolna shuru kiya,
“Main apne puranay dost se mila… aur woh bilkul nahi badla. Bilkul waisa hi hai jaisa pehli baar tha,” us ne bhari hui aankhon ke saath kaha.
Uski awaaz tootne ke qareeb thi, lekin woh poori koshish kar raha tha ke khud ko sambhal kar rakhe.
“Mujhe us se jalan hoti hai,” us ne Dr. Velma ki taraf dekhte hue kaha.
“Uska irada lohay jaisa mazboot hai. Marnay ke qareeb ja kar bhi… woh bilkul nahi badla.”
Dr. Velma ne SurJ ki halat dekh kar gehri saans li.
Yeh unka Suraj ke saath pehla session nahi tha. Apni links ke zariye Dr. Velma Suraj ke maazi ke baare mein jaan chuki thi.
Usay yeh jaan kar hairat hui ke Suraj asal mein Dwight City ka Hero reh chuka tha.
Is baat ne usay samajhne mein madad di ke Suraj ki halat ki asal wajah kya hai.
Fauj se nikalay gaye kai soldiers PTSD ka shikar hotay hain, aur Suraj jaise aik naujawan ke liye aisa khaufnaak tajurba guzarna—yeh zehni zakhmon ko janam dena laazmi tha.
“SURAJ,” Dr. Velma ne uske haath pakarte hue kaha,
“tumhari sehat ke liye behtar hoga ke tum apne is puranay dost se milna band kar do.”
Phir us ne kaha,
“Uski mojoodgi tumhari purani yaadein wapas le aati hai, jo tumhari halat ko aur bigaadh sakti hain.”
Yeh sun kar Suraj ne dheemi awaaz mein kaha,
“Main… nahi kar sakta.”
Woh baar baar bas yahi alfaaz dohrata raha,
“Main nahi kar sakta… main nahi kar sakta…”
Jaise woh khud ko hi samjha raha ho.
Dr. Velma ne bhawnay chadhaye.
“Tum aisa kyun nahi kar sakte? Yeh tumhari apni bhalai ke liye—”
BRAK!
Suraj ne zor se apna haath lakri ke table par maara. Dr. Velma ghabra kar peeche hat gayi.
Suraj cheekh pada,
“US NE MERI JAAN BACHAI THI!”
Is achanak gusse ne Dr. Velma ko Suraj se faasla rakhne par majboor kar diya. Usay saaf nazar aa raha tha ke Suraj is waqt itna unstable hai ke ghalti se kisi ko nuqsaan pohcha sakta hai.
Suraj ko apni harkat ka ehsaas hua.
Woh wapas kursi par baith gaya aur awaaz dheemi kar ke bola,
“Us ke baghair, Dr. Velma… main aaj yahan zinda hota hi nahi.”
Yeh sun kar Dr. Velma ne samajhdaari se sar hila diya.
“Main tumhare jazbaat samajh sakti hoon,” us ne narmi se kaha.
“Ab hum therapy session ki taraf chalte hain, yeh tumhein thora calm karne mein madad karega.”
Yeh keh kar woh Suraj ko bahar le gayi.
.
.
.
.
“Tum ne university ki website dekhi?” aik larki ne popsicle chaat-te hue kaha.
“Koi afwaah phail rahi hai.”
Us ke saath chal rahi doosri larki ne poocha,
“Konsi afwaah?”
“Log keh rahe hain ke Sikandar aur Adhara ne hamari university chhor di hai aur Faraday University transfer ho gaye hain. Tournament ke baad unhein scout kar liya gaya tha,” us ne udaas lehjay mein kaha.
Yeh sun kar doosri larki ne gehri saans li.
“Sikandar ke baghair hamari university ka performance bohot gir jaye ga.”
Yeh baatein Rosie ne sun li, jo apne room ki taraf ja rahi thi.
Uska chehra aik dum sakht ho gaya.
“Transfer…?!”
Rosie apni jagah par ruk gayi, aankhon mein aansu bhar aaye.
Agar Sikandar aur Adhara Faraday University chalay gaye, toh iska matlab tha ke woh unhein kabhi dobara nahi dekh payegi.
Woh khud ko sambhalne ki koshish karti rahi, lekin yeh khabar us ke liye bohot zyada dukh bhari thi.
Aansoo girne se pehle hi, woh dobara chalne lagi—lekin is dafa us ke qadam pehle se zyada tez thay.
.
.
.
.
Aik aur din guzar gaya.
Ochrya University chhorne ke baad, Sikandar aur Adhara, Adhara ke father ke paas gaye—jahan Sikandar ne apna wada poora kiya aur us ka haath system ki maddat se bilkol theek kar diya.
Jab Adhara ke father ka haath dobara ug aaya, woh khushi se pagal ho gaye.
Unhon ne jazbaati ho kar Sikandar aur Adhara dono ko galay laga liya.
Unhein yaqeen hi nahi aa raha tha ke Sikandar ne sirf unki beti ki khushi ke liye yeh sab kiya.
Isi wajah se Adhara ke father ne Sikandar ke liye apna dil khol diya.
Baad mein woh teeno aik restaurant mein khana khanay gaye aur baatein karte rahe.
Apne father aur Sikandar ke saath khana khana Adhara ke liye bohot khushi ka lamha tha—uski muskurahat se saaf nazar aa raha tha ke woh dil se khush hai.
Baton ke dauran, Adhara ke father ne apna naam bataya.
“Main Bryan hoon,” us ne kaha jab usay ehsaas hua ke Sikandar uska naam nahi jaanta.
Us ne yeh bhi bataya ke woh bhi kabhi fauj ka hissa reh chuka hai.
Adhara ki kahani sun chuka tha, is liye Sikandar ko yeh sab pehle se hi maloom tha.
.
.
Is waqt Sikandar Faraday University ke training ground ke andar sakht training kar raha tha.
Faraday University pohanchte hi,
Vargas ne Sikandar ke liye ek chhoti si welcoming party rakhne ka faisla kiya. Is party mein university ke har student ko ek mid-grade Elemental Stone diya gaya. Yeh asal mein Sikandar ke liye ek izzat bhari welcome thi.
Jaise hi Sikandar university mein nazar aaya, bohot se students uske qareeb aane ki koshish karne lage.
Sikandar ne ek ajeeb lekin achi feeling mehsoos ki—
acknowledgment, magar is dafa positive tareeqe se.
Ochyra University mein bhi log uski taqat ko maante thay,
lekin wahan yeh tasleem khauf ki bunyaad par hoti thi.
Log Sikandar ko dekh kar raasta chhor dete thay,
koi baat nahi karta tha, jaise woh koi aafat ho.
Wahan woh respected nahi,
feared tha.
Lekin Faraday University mein uski quwwat uske liye izzat le kar aayi thi.
Yahan log uski taqat ko sirf dekh kar darte nahi thay,
balkay usse izzat dete thay.
Yahan tak ke Kevin bhi Sikandar ke paas aaya,
jab Vargas ne usey bataya ke Sikandar ne cheating nahi ki thi.
Asal cheater woh jury member tha…
jise woh pehle hi maar chuka tha.
Zahir hai, Vargas ne yeh nahi bataya ke jury ko kis ne maara.
Kevin ki Sikandar se narazgi asal mein sirf ek ghalat fehmi thi.
Usey haar manzoor thi, lekin cheating wali baat usay chubhi thi.
Jab sab clear hua, Sikandar ko yeh poori situation kaafi amusing lagi.
Is waqt Sikandar Quiet Room ke andar meditation kar raha tha,
aur uske saath Adhara bhi maujood thi.
Yeh Quiet Room pehle wale room se mukhtalif tha—
yeh sirf top rankers ke liye reserved hota hai.
Jaise hi Sikandar training ground mein daakhil hua,
uske sar ke upar maujood orb golden rang ka ho gaya.
Tournament ke baad, Faraday University ke tamam students is baat par mutafiq thay ke
first year ka top ranker Sikandar hi hoga.
Kuch logon ka to yeh bhi kehna tha ke
woh third year ke top ranker se bhi zyada taqatwar hai.
Lekin Sikandar ko third-year ki seat lene ka koi shauq nahi tha.
Uske liye yeh sirf be-maqsad ranks thay,
jin ki usay zarurat nahi thi.
Adhara ne bhi yahan apni taqat ka loha manwa liya.
University pohanchte hi uska Kevin Luc ke saath sparring match hua,
aur sakht aur barabari ki ladai ke baad…
Adhara ne jeet hasil kar li.
Yeh dekh kar bohot se students hairaan reh gaye.
Unhein umeed nahi thi ke Adhara, Kevin se zyada taqatwar niklay gi.
Isi wajah se Sikandar aur Adhara ko naya laqab mila:
“The Invincible Duo”
Is waqt Sikandar gehri meditation mein tha.
Uske haath mein ek High Lightning Stone tha
jo dheere dheere apni roshni kho raha tha.
Uske paas kai aur istemal shuda High Lightning Stones ka dher laga hua tha.
Uske jism se ek mukhtalif qisam ki aura nikal rahi thi—
jo pehle kabhi mehsoos nahi hui thi.
Jab se uski Lightning Affinity high-rank mein upgrade hui thi,
uski peeth ke peeche ek kaala daaira ban chuka tha
jo kaali bijli se chamak raha tha.
Sirf itna hi nahi,
uski mana absorb karne ki salahiyat bhi kai guna barh chuki thi.
Ab woh pehle ke muqablay mein
teen guna tez mana absorb kar sakta tha.
High Lightning Stones aur
High-Rank Mana Charm Elixir ne is raftar ko aur bhi tez kar diya tha.
Ab mana kheenchna Sikandar ke liye
saans lene jitna aasaan ho gaya tha.
Koi resistance nahi thi,
sab kuch hairat angez tor par smooth tha.
Sikandar ne aankhein kholi,
chand lamhon ke liye palkein jhapkayi taake aankhein adjust ho saken.
Phir usne apne kandhon par bane rune ko dekha—
uska lagbhag aadha hissa
zabardast energy se chamak raha tha.
Sirf ek meditation session ka nateeja dekh kar
Sikandar khud hairaan reh gaya.
“Kuch hi dino ya hafton mein main mid-rank four tak pohanch jaunga,”
usne dil mein socha.
Sikandar ne apni Force Manipulation skill bhi upgrade kar li thi.
Ab woh force ke peelay bulb tak pohanch chuka tha,
jo uske stats mein 20% ka izafa karta hai.
Agar insaniyat ne yeh dekha hota ke
Sikandar ne Force ka dusra layer samajh liya hai,
to poori duniya hil jati.
Force ka pehla layer master karna hi mushkil hota hai,
jab ke doosra layer sirf chand log hi samajh pate hain.
Yahan tak ke bohot se Supernaturals bhi
second layer tak nahi pohanch pate.
Is ke saath hi,
Sikandar pehle se bhi zyada khatarnaak ho chuka tha.
“System, Yule Moon ke dauran tum kya mashwara dete ho?”
Sikandar ne system se poocha.
Agla full moon, Yule Moon,
sirf chaar din door tha.
Warning ke mutabiq,
agar Sikandar Yule Moon ki roshni mein aaya
to woh raakh ban sakta tha.
Is liye chhupna to lazmi tha,
magar woh jaan’na chahta tha ke
kya is dauran koi faida bhi uthaya ja sakta hai.
<Kuch bhi nahi.
Yule Moon cursed Werewolf ke liye saza hota hai.
Is ki roshni kisi bhi Werewolf ko kamzor aur be-difa kar deti hai
aur aakhir kaar woh raakh ban jata hai.>
Yeh sun kar Sikandar ne bhonhein chadha li.
“Kuch bhi nahi… theek hai, phir sirf shelter hi dhoondhna hoga.”
Usne baen taraf dekha—
Adhara abhi bhi meditation mein thi.
Uski Fire Affinity bhi ab high-rank ho chuki thi.
Uski peeth ke peeche aag ka ghoomta hua daaira bana hua tha
jo khofnaak garmi phenk raha tha.
Glass box ki wajah se sab kuch control mein tha.
“Yahan shift hona bilkul sahi faisla tha,”
Sikandar ne relief mehsoos kiya.
Agar yeh sab Ochyra University mein hota,
to unki energy poori jagah barbaad kar deti
aur doosre students ko nuqsan pohanch sakta tha.
Faraday University ki advanced technology ki wajah se
yeh masla yahan nahi tha.
Adhara ko chhor kar,
Sikandar apne room ki taraf chal para.
