Chapter 7 - Someone needs blood

Here is a little info so that you don't get confused--

DIVISION OF LANDMASS

The planet's name is Dharitri but it is generally called Earth. Why? It will be answered in the story. The basic regions in which the land is divided are---

GRAM - VILLAGE OR TOWN

KSHETRA - BLOCK OR SECTOR

JANPAD - DISTRICT OR CITY ( generally district headquarters are big cities)

MAHAJANPAD - KINGDOM

TITLES OF WARRIORS

These titles denote the general power level of warriors not their position in society. There are no restrictions on the number of warriors one region can have. (These names are given by me so don't search their meaning as they are more symbolic than literal.)

1. VEER- A basic soldier

2. VEERVAR - A warrior who can defeat ten soldiers( Veers) in any condition.

3. PATTI - A warrior who can defeat ten VEERVAR in any type of fight. He is a village level threat.

4. GAJ - A warrior who can defend any village against MINIMUM 10 PATTI

5. GAJPATI - A warrior who can defeat 10 GAJ and is able to defend a KSHETRA( sector) alone against them.

6. ADHIPATI - A warrior who can survive against 10 GAJPATI alone and is able to sense GAJPATI anywhere in his JANPAD ( District).

SEEKER TITLES

Now I could call every SEEKER a SEEKER but that doesn't sound right. So here are hierarchical titles for them. Only the last two of them are generally used as honorifics.

JIGYASU- One who is curious about knowledge

VIDYARTHI - a student, one who is learning

VIDWAN- one who is well read and completed his education

GURU - A TEACHER. One who has accepted information he had read and turned it into knowledge, he has got is able to preach and teach it

GURUVAR - One who understands knowledge and has acquired wisdom.

( People should understand the difference between knowledgeable and informed & intelligent and wise. )

After giving the DMF team orders, Gajpati Bheem turned towards Satya and Savita. He questioned them " Did you two survive this catastrophe? "

" No , we came here just before you ,Gajpati. We were staying near the central building. Our sons stayed here while we were gone to take a bath. When we came back here everything was just as it is now, except for that sphere. It was a little more bright in colour." Satya replied to the query while Savita was trying to control her tears.

" Okay, then stay here till SEEKERS come . We need to check that you aren't infected or influenced by that sphere. After that you guys have to come with me as first witnesses. I need you in order to make higher ups get their asses to work. They didn't listen to me earlier. Now see the result. Thousands of lives have been lost." Ganapati Bheema was getting angrier with every word he spoke.

" Why are you ranting in front of civilians, Bheema." spoke the man who had just come. The newcomer had grey hairs and beard, a handlebar moustache, serene blue eyes and a nose like a parrot's beak. Bheema turned around and saw the man. " Come, Guruvar Shuka. I got a little distracted due to anger. Please, check up on these people." Bheema answered, requested and then questioned " But how are you here?"

" Are you not happy seeing me here ? " Shuka retorted.

" That's not what I meant. You are generally in University." Bheema said with hesitation.

" Haha, Got you. I was just kidding. I came here because I could sense the pulses of negative energy coming from here. You forget I am your teacher." SHUKA said with a laugh. The serene look on his face was gone.

" Here he goes again. Never being serious is a serious problem" Bheema thought.

" Always being serious is a serious problem,too". said Shuka while inspecting the couple. " Guruvar, if you can hear thoughts too why don't you ascend ."

" I have heard the same sentence from you a thousand times. Why do I need to hear your thoughts for this." said Shuka while inspecting the sphere.

" The couple is alright. There are no traces of negative energy on them. But this summoning is unusual. Its much more intense . They will need to do YAGNA to cleanse this place." Was the conclusion he gave.

Meanwhile, in the hospital where Shambhu and Ananta were getting treated, in a room, a boy was standing near a hospital bed. There was another boy 15 or 16 years old lying face down on the bed, unconscious. He had reddish brown hair and fair skin. There were many wounds on his back. Some of the wounds were one inch deep holes and some were less deep cuts.A doctor was standing there talking to someone through the wrist band he was wearing. The doctor turned towards the boy standing there and said " He is really lucky. Someone with the same blood group is present in the hospital."

The boy's eyes got teary from the good news. He had deep brown eyes , light brown hair and light dark skin. He has normal square face and normal 15 year olds body. His clothes were all like the children's Shambhu had met on the bus.

" But he too is getting treated. We don't know if he will be able to give blood."

Charan, the boy standing there, then spoke " Doctor, please, tell me where he is. I will plead to him. We will compensate him with whatever he wants, however he wants. I can't let anything happen to my brother in this manner. " " His name is Shambhu and he is on the 2nd floor. Let's go I will come with you."

Both of them came out of the room. There were 9 more boys sitting on the benches on the outside. All of them were wearing black and red uniforms. Both of them hurriedly reached Shambhu's room. Doctor explained the situation to him. Shambhu had bandages on his back and his right hand. He was told to rest as he too has lost some blood. He asked to see the injured boy first. The three of then again reached the room where the injured boy was.

Seeing the boys, wearing the same uniform sitting outside the room, Sambhu got curious , again. But this time he asked Charan to quench his curiosity " Are you guys from some organization?"

" Yes, we are students at PROTECTOR UNIVERSITY, PRAYAG." Charan answered.

" But the University is in the main City. How did you guys come here ?" Shambhu asked as he entered the room. Seeing the condition of the back of the boy, he added " And how did he got injured so badly?"
