why, I stepped outside and told him that I will find a way by myself. Then I climbed the stairways which had emerged in front of the elevator, as I moved on I saw a hallway down the alley, I saw many cellar doors but none of them carried the numbers similar in any respect to what that man inside the cabin told me. The place was something like a prison. I reached a large hall where there were writings on the wall, one of it read keep leaving milestones, and few read the voices have stopped, some said surrender to win, I wonder why I too made a mark on the wall and then I laughed.

 

 

Catch the Mouse

 

As I went ahead the dark alleyway I found a bucket of water at the end of the alley, I drank some water and as soon as I quenched my thirst I found myself in an auditorium standing on the stage, the audience was very less in number, around twenty, and nobody was looking at me except one glance from a man who looked like someone famous whom I knew when I was in Arindhara, I tried to remember who was he but couldn’t. Suddenly the auditorium grew bigger, and I could see more people staring at me, suddenly I heard a familiar voice which shouted ‘catch him', and I sensed danger and decided to run I saw a man and a child walk towards the exit sign. I followed them immediately. The exit was a window emitting red light, I was about to jump through the red window when a cigarette came in my hand I clutched it and jumped through the red window. I woke up in my mother's arms. She asked me why did I ran from the auditorium I told her I heard someone say catch him so I grew afraid and ran, then she said some silly things and left.

The unknown power unmasked

I heard someone shout 'KAYLE of Drofolax the time has come', from nowhere, disturbing that eerie silence. I had never heard such voice anywhere before. I asked who and where you are. The voice replied ‘I am everywhere’. You are the first Kayle reborn, and I am the unknown power which you used to know as Arizel when you were in Drofolax, and Alyonushka when you were a girl in Upnafed, now you are in the land of nightmares that belong to me, it is deep in the caverns of the existent of the silent forest of Dreams, here no one can harm you, this place is entirely hidden from the evil masters of the unknown power. I have controlled as well as altered your destiny since you were born, and now you are ready for the purpose for which I chose you. I am with you now and I can come in any form you would like me to and I can give you whatever you desire if you stay with me, but first we have to win the final battle against the evil forces which are stronger than me’.

 

Arizel told me that it was my choice whether to trust her or not and if I choose not to devote myself completely to her then she will send me back to where I belong, and all her efforts will be in vain and moreover it will be dangerous if I get caught by the evil forces. If I choose to leave then I must stay hidden because now many powerful evil forces will try to exploit me for their gain and now she may not be able to save me. Arizel said, “Trust me whatever I did to you was for the goodness of all the sentient beings in the whole universe, if you choose not to follow me you have to keep everything that happened to you a secret. If you tell anything about this to anyone, the evil forces will find you, and you will go back to the same place where you were asked to find the two cellar doors, while doing that, soon you will be thirsty and if you drink from the bucket you’ll reach that auditorium again, this time you will be recognized by the others who are the masters of different galaxies. They are angry; because of you the Kayles of their galaxies are living freely in Alyonushka universe now.”

 

Arizel’s the hunted

Arizel told me that no mortal can understand the masters of the unknown power unless the masters possess a body of any mortal, it’s the only way to interact with mortals but because of the training which I received in Drofolax and which that happened to me in Upnafed galaxy I am the only human who could distinguish between the voices of the masters of evil forces (who sat in that auditorium) when they speak in my mind, they are the other masters of different galaxies who were unaware of me but now they are startled and are now looking for me madly and desperately, she said, “I was the one who shouted 'catch him' to confirm whether you understood me or not”, she said, ‘I will again be sitting in that auditorium but now I will not be able to save you from others like me’. She assured me that right now I am in her territory nothing can harm me unless something happens to her or if I reveal the secret of her bondage with me. “I am being hunted too by a powerful force known as Rakhtavar,” Arizel said, “If I am killed, Rakhtavar will gain control of all my powers, the free will which everything has in Drofolax galaxy is granted by me, and if I want I can make them totally under my control, that was what happened when your world became rocks and working machines, I gave them impossible orders by speaking in their minds. If I lose, my hunter will make everything into machine for his morbid purposes.”

 

Secrets revealed

Arizel said, ‘Rakhtavar is the ruler of the Kontradar universe where everything is a working machine except the slaves and the Rakhtavar himself and the Gojolins. He is very powerful and he hunts beings like you known as Kayles, he has created a virtual world called 'Upnafed' one each for every Kayle he catches, but he has not yet succeeded in training any Kayle. Now he knows about me and you and will be chasing you from now onwards to steal your memory and create an army of Kayles by training the other Kayles the way I trained you.’ I asked Arizel why you told me not to marry, the voice replied, “I had made a shield around you to protect you from Kilkanuks, who are Rakhtavar’s slaves and followed you, it was no use killing these slave because Rakhtavar would have sent more. Rakhtavar is searching all the time for Kayles like the one you are, in different galaxies of this universe. As soon as you got married he captured you and transmitted you to a virtual galaxy called Upnafed where he keeps the Kayles he had captured after erasing their previous memories, one Kayle in one planet, there every captured Kayle share one same life unaware of this fact and all of the Kayles are given same choices in their life. All the captured Kayles are puppets of one master who is Rakhtavar. When you were in Upnafed you freed all the other Kayles captured by Rakhtavar and now they are living freely in Alyonushka galaxy. The galaxies to which these Kayles belonged were enslaved by Rakhtavar and the master of the unknown power belonging to that galaxy are hiding here in this silent forest of dreams, here Rakhtavar cannot enter.”

 

Arizel helped me at all the stages of my new life in Upnafed where I was Ivanushka the girl. She was the boy Alyonushka, who inspired me in that limbo, about which I only can make out by reading the diary that Tarkone gave to me. Arizel said, “You not only proved to be the first Kayle who has succeeded in learning the language of the masters of the unknown powers present all over the universe moreover you succeeded in liberating all the other Kayles of different galaxies, trapped in Rakhtavar’s virtual Red Upnafed, now all these Kayles are living freely in the universe called Alyonushka hidden safely and far away from the clutches of Rakhtavar, waiting for the summons to the final battle to save the universe.”
