Chapter 5:

Destination

Reappearance of the lost ones (RLO)


They reached the airport and boarded the plane at four-thirty, along with many other people who had the same destination as them. All of them got in their respective seats inside the plane. Raj got a seat next to the window and was excited to get a glimpse of the view from thirty thousand feet above the ground. After about a minute they boarded the plane, a beautiful young lady(air hostess) older than Raj came out. She was wearing a good quality georgette shirt and grey skirt matching with the color of the shirt. Her pale skin was enough to make any guy fall for her. The hostess then started to explain the rules and safety measures for attending the flight. Raj stared at her continuously as the pheromones in him started kicking in!

'Oi...', Karya who was sitting next to him shook his shoulders.' Don't stare at her too much- it will make her unpleasant.'

Raj was immersed in his own fantasies staring at the flight attendant and just ignored what Karya said.

'Then, Ladies and gentlemen, please have a comfortable flight.' the flight hostess ended her instructions. All of the passengers fastened their seat belts and the flight took off. Everyone was enjoying the flight and some of the passengers had started to experience the air turbulence. One of them called for help as he started feeling extreme air turbulence. The same hostess who relayed about the safety protocol arrived and gave the person suffering from turbulence some medicines.

She went to the cockpit and it seemed she had discussed with the captain about the matter of the turbulence. Following the incident, another notification was relayed to us through the speakers attached near the cockpit.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Captain has turned off the Fasten Seat Belt sign, and you may now move around the cabin."

The seat belts that were locked emanated a strange sound and were unlocked.

"Please move as little as possible within now that you are free to move."

Another message rang through the speaker. Raj went to the bathroom after the message was conveyed. Karya followed him shortly after.

KNOCK!

'Please open the door.', Karya called out Raj who was still inside the toilet.

'Is it an emergency?', Raj answered.

'Yes, it is!'

Raj opened the door. Karya entered the bathroom hurriedly, and both of them were inside when he locked it. He took out the sword from the ring and gave it to Raj and told him to calmly try to bond with the sword.

'What bond?', Raj was confused. 'How am I supposed to bond with the sword?'

'Just try to imagine the sword as a part of your own body and concentrate on it only.', Karya told.

Raj accurately did what Karya told and the next moment an unsettling surge of waves obstructed- destroying Raj's concentration. An instant later, the palm where he held the sword ached. Raj instinctively threw the sword upon not being able to bear the pain. Just when he was about to scream out because of the pain, Karya tightly wrapped up his mouth.

'Shhh, listen to me.', Karya said.'It seems the sword is resonating because of the existence of another power near us which is almost similar to Ravanas' will or power. When you went to the toilet before, I felt a similar aura as you give- to be precise Ravanas' aura give but you were not near to me but still, the sensation was not fading.'

Karya continued,' These auras can only be detected only within about five meters. We are in the second row and the bathroom is more than ten meters away from our seat but even when you left I could still sense the aura. It seems someone other than you possess Ravana's physical prowess since it can't be his will which has possessed you and strength, though the aura is relatively very much small compared to yours.'

Raj listened carefully to what Karya was explaining. 'So you mean to say, there are many others who are like me?', Raj questioned.

'Yes, but they possess only Ravana's strength and which is also in very less amount as, without a will, large strength can't reside within a single human.' Karya answered.

'Ok, I understood. But didn't you said the strength is in possession of those Ravana's followers?'

'Yes, but what they have is probably in large amount and people like the one in the plane have a very small amount. Still, even a little amount of that strength will give the host amazing physical prowess and the host will be a lot of times stronger than a normal human.'

Following their conversation, both of them returned to their seats.

'Can you figure out which of them have that strength... huh, Karya?'

'I can but it needs a little more work and I need to teach you about the rings too.', Karya sighed.

Raj sighed too as he remembered he had yet to understand about those rings. 'In that case, let's learn about it fast and find out which of the passengers here has Ravana's strength.', Raj told.

Raj spent the rest of the flight learning to use the ring. He succeeded in making the ring his own but whether he could store weapons just like Karya or not was unknown because it couldn't be done in front of all the passengers and also it was announced they will reach Sri Lanka within an hour.

A while after the announcement every passenger was provided with their last meal of the flight. Raj was eagerly waiting for their meal. He chose chicken as a slice of preferential meat with some salads and yogurt as dessert from many options. The meal was served to them within five minutes of the order. It was presented beautifully enough to make anyone crave for it. Big and bright raspberries topped with fluffy whipped cream inserted in the semi-solid yogurt- was served as dessert. Raj hadn't been eating properly due to his work and studies. He was savoring all of them properly after a long time. Seeing Raj enjoying food Karya sneakily put a slice of meat from his plate to Rajs'. They both finished their food within a short time.

"Flight attendants, prepare for landing please.", the speaker announced.

The plane landed as all of the passengers got out. they were taken to a bus and the bus gave them a ride up to the reception in the airport. Everyone took their luggage so did Raj and Karya. They both got out of the airport.

'Where is the next destination?', Raj asked anxiously.

'First of all, we will go to our lodge and within an hour lord Kiaan will tell us the exact location of those perpetrators.', Karya replied.

'Let's go.'

They got in one of the cabs parked near the airport and went to their reserved hotel. It was within half an hour ride from the airport. Both of them reached their hotel and checked -in.

'I will go and take a shower. You can take it after me.', Raj humbly told Karya.

He agreed. Both of them cleaned their fatigue and stress in a cozy tub. Raj asked Karya to take out the sword from his ring.

He took it out. Then, Raj tried to store it in his own ring and succeeded. He looked a little happy for accomplishment.

RING...RING

Karya's phone vibrated as he got a message from Lord Kiaan. Both of them hurriedly unlocked it and saw the message.

"Ravana's follower who kidnapped Raj's brother was located in the jungle of Sigiriya"
