Chapter 1:

By the Pond

Cursed Head


Vihaan had just stopped reading a book. He put the book in his bag and went to a pond nearby his house. He sat there for a while looking at the view of far land engulfed in purple gas. He noticed that it had reached nearer than the last time. Being tired after a whole day at grammar school. Then he looked in the pond looking for the tadpole released there a few days ago. He kept looking deep into the pond for some time and finally saw something. It was not a tadpole but some kind of jar that he had never seen before or hadn't noticed before. He tried reaching it.

Someone from behind touched him. He just freaked out.

He said, "Come on Easter, don't scare me like that!"

She replied "Hey don't scream at me. I am your older sis..."

Vihaan interrupted by saying "Yeah yeah by measly 21600 seconds. What do you want?'

"Mom is calling us for supper and you better be on time"

"I will come in a few more minutes"

Easter said "But the wanderers are coming" in an informative manner.

Vihaan started running to the square as soon as he heard her sister telling about that. He was so excited to see them. He recklessly ran through the stairs of the hills, through the alley and he kept moving. The reason for his excitement was that he always wanted to join the military and be a great wanderer himself as he thought that he could go on adventures, find habitable zones and kill some "URC MONSTER".

After he finally got there he noticed that there were far fewer wanderers at arrival than when they departed. He was looking at them and suddenly heard a nearby passing wanderer saying  softly to himself "WeAReGOnEthEYwILlCOME"
