WE CAN FLY- PART 2
Have you ever heard your own heart-beats clear and loud, were you ever so scared that your face flushed red. A tingling sensation ran through my body,
I did not know what time or what day it was, I could hear people whispering and then I heard the guns being loaded, my feet started trembling.
I could hear some footsteps and it grew louder with every passing second, someone was behind me, I could feel the breathing, they put there hand on my neck and opened my mask, I slowly tried to open my eyes, my eyes were burning to see so much light after some time, once I came to my senses and gasped the reality, I was shocked.
My mouth opened and closed a couple of times as i was not sure on how to react.
Roger was standing in front of me, the man whose murder I witnessed on a rainy evening in Patin city, he was right in front of me wearing a black suit and sitting on a chair.
He woke up from his chair and offered me water and some snacks, i grabbed them with both my hands and started to munch.
Roger turned his back to me , looked up and started speaking.
“Well… Well… Well… where do i begin my friend, where do i begin?”
Everyone was asked to leave the room.
“There is very little time on hand, i will tell you all i know.
By the reaction on your face, i assume that you witnessed my murder and you must be wondering how i am standing here, well let me explain.
You must be familiar with the folklore of the "Monk who lived”, for centuries now the idea of being immortal has fascinated mankind, there were books, poems written on it.
A monk named Punar on the Gregon alley dedicated his whole life studying about immortality, folk has it that the monk knew the key to immortality.
The details of which were safeguarded in a book called Imprece,the word was out that the monk had a way, so the king started looking out for him, bounty was placed for his capture, so it is believed that the monk safeguarded the book and took his own life.
The lore has it that many men tried to procure it and it kept changing hands
As many a men me and Karm were also fascinated by the idea of immortality, we both became archaeologist in the hope of finding Imprece and believe it or not, in one such excavation
we found our quest, we were the happiest persons on earth, believing is everything my friend, there is nothing called myth.
To our disappointment the book was written in cryptic language, it took years and years of study , research to finally crack the code.“
I was able to crack it which opened the nasty Pandora box. Power, knowledge and greed can play games with life for which you are not prepared, but i was.
I was clever, i knew what to share and what not to share with Karm,i could see the greed in his eyes.
Now you must be wondering how is all this related to you, patience my friend, patience, every door has a key, every story has a reason
And thus begins our story, we are both born on April 6th exactly 20 years apart, both our mothers died after giving birth to us, we have a mole on the right hand in the shape of a half moon, everything is interrelated my friend,everything.
The book has mentioned that exactly 20 years apart every April 6th a child is born with a half moon mole on the right hand, the birth leading to death and thus leading to immortality, but the only catch is such a child has to be exposed to a Herb called "Immorse”.
Slowly my brain started processing everything, things fell in place and i realized i was immortal.I was half excited, half scared.
I rebelled against Karm, so now he is trying to make you his pet to face me
I could Hear gun shots afar, before i could ask about my flying, the shutter opened, armed men in black from top to bottom with high end guns stood before us, they opened fire but somehow i was no more afraid, bullets passed through me, i did not feel any pain, neither did Roger, but then we saw a strange green liquid being fired at us, we were trembling with pain, i could hear a laugh, a familiar one , out in the distance from darkness into light came none other than Karm with his wicked smile, crooked face, that was the last image before i passed out.
A few hours later…………
I came to my senses, Karm was before me, Roger was beside me.
Roger, Roger, Roger you keep surprising me Karm exclaimed.
