Deed-182: Astral Powers

{ 3rd January 2016 A.Y. Yokai Realm inside Naimisha Kingdom's Treasure Room }

[ Lotus immediately catches those astral creatures while they are screaming out loud with pain, as if they were thrown into the fire ]

[ Lotus in a dominating tone ]

Lotus: This is what happens when an evil yokai touches me, they feel as if they are thrown into fire!!!

[ Lotus shouts ]

Lotus: Hey, you two! Start telling me what you were doing in this sword, or else I would make a paste of you two!!!

[ Those two astral creatures with fear, start talking ]

Astral Creatures: We are Hori's friends! She asked us to enter the treasure room and hide in a sword and let her know where we have hidden!!!

Astral Creatures: After hiding in these swords, we were ordered by Hori not to leave these swords and change the swords' dimensions by consuming the wielder's lifespan and aura!!!

Astral Creatures: She ordered us to guide the wielder and make him look like a weapon master while consuming his aura and if we get overloaded, then we have to generate aura!

Astral Creatures: These were the orders given to us by Hori! Please don't harm us! We are astral creatures created from her aura, we have no free will. It's all her doing! Please don't punish us!!!

[ Lotus with a bit of rage, looks at those astral creatures as they dared to consume her son's lifespan and aura ]

[ On seeing Lotus in anger, those astral creatures beg for mercy ]

[ Lotus smirks and looks at Sampath ]

Lotus: Do you still think that Hori is trustworthy and we are all manipulative!?!

[ Lotus throws away those creatures and walks away, while those creatures get evaporated in thin air ]

[ Sampath with complete shock, shame, embarrassment, regret and guilt, cries out loud. It was as if he had committed the biggest sin in the universe by doubting his parents because of others' words ]

[ After walking for a few steps, Lotus turns back and, in an irritated tone, speaks ]

Lotus: Come fast, your brother is searching for you!!!

[ Sampath with doubt, shame and embarrassment, looks at maa Lotus while kneeling on the floor ]

Sampath: How can I ever show my face to them all, maa!?!

Sampath: Please throw me in a prison and torture me, maa!!!

[ Lotus smirks ]

Lotus: That would have happened for sure if you weren't my son!

Lotus: Now come, it's not good manners to make them all wait!!!

[ Sampath with guilt and regret ]

Sampath: How can I? How can you forgive someone like me!?!

[ Lotus approaches Sampath and pats his head ]

Lotus: Mothers can never end up hating their sons!

[ Lotus comforts Sampath with her words and lifts him up to stand and holds on to his swords ]

[ Lotus holds onto Sampath's hand and walks towards the exit while motivating him ]

[ Lotus tells Sampath that she isn't mad at him, she is just upset that her son got manipulated. Lotus says that she got angered when he didn't defend Ram's honor and started thinking of him as an enemy ]

[ Lotus tells Sampath that she doesn't hate him, as the first wish he asked was for his brother's safety. Sampath wasn't a cruel or unfaithful son, it was all because of Queen Hori's poisonous words, which made her son Sampath fall into despair ]

[ Lotus comforts, motivates and encourages Sampath that they all have forgiven him, and he doesn't have to feel guilty and stay in the past. Rather than that, it is better to never repeat the mistakes he committed today ]

[ Lotus walks towards the exit with Sampath and orders the treasure chamber guards to guard properly and not let anyone enter unless Lord Ram accompanies them. By saying that to the guards, Lotus along with Sampath and Sampath's swords, leaves ]

[ While walking towards Lotus' chamber ]

[ Lotus orders Sampath to forget all this and smile as if nothing has happened ]

[ Sampath was still hesitant to become normal, yet as his maa Lotus comforted and ordered him to become normal, he slowly started becoming normal and forgot about his sins ]

[ Sampath curiously asks ]

Sampath: How did you know all this, maa?

Sampath: It was as if you were beside me all this time and listened to everything! How were you able to know all this, maa!?!

[ Lotus smiles ]

Lotus: Your brother has returned and he asked for you!!!

Lotus: But you were nowhere to be found! Then I used my astral power to know where you were and what happened to you!

Lotus: I knew that you are the most anxious one and you would be waiting for Sri Hari's return, but you were missing! It made me suspicious, and I ended up using my astral powers!!!

Lotus: I am the daughter of BHAGWAN CHAND. I can go back in time and see what happened exactly!!!

[ Sampath with surprise and excitement shouts ]

Sampath: Really!?!

[ Lotus smiles ]

Lotus: Yes, but it sure has its limitations!!!

[ Sampath smiles and looks at his maa with hope, that she will protect him no matter what ]

[ While walking, Lotus with a bit dominating tone ]

Lotus: Don't talk about all this to your dad! Don't tell him how you got manipulated and feared!

Lotus: Your dad would end up killing Queen Hori for manipulating you! I don't want to kill any of our guests!!!

Lotus: Moreover, if Lord kills Hori, then Barfi could never return to Naimisha, as if Hori dies, the authority to relieve Barfi also dies!!!

Lotus: So, just don't talk about all this with anyone! Let us leave it all to devatas! If they want Lord Ram to know the truth, they would have revealed it by now!!!

Lotus: So, just don't think too much and forget all this, my dear!!!

[ Sampath nods his head in agreement and curiously asks ]

Sampath: Why are you carrying those swords with you, maa!?!

[ Lotus smiles ]

Lotus: Nothing, just for some experiments!!!

[ Lotus in a comforting tone whispers ]

Lotus: Just forget all this and behave normally!!!

[ Lotus and Sampath go to Lotus' chamber where Sri Hari was waiting ]

[ While walking towards Lotus' chamber, Sampath was frightened, as he was fearing that Sri Hari would have told them all how he left him all alone and ran like a spineless coward ]
