Chapter 5: Entering into the unknown: ShahKaj
The sun was shining furiously behind Nivi and the ninja has they entered the first lost world. They were in a green field, with long geen plants with yellow flowers. In the distance a cow could be seen and the sound of the cow's bell could be heard. (trying to describe DDLJ song scene from memory, doing a bad job lol) If one listen carefully a soft song was playing in air "tujhe dekha to yeh". This world had a soft and loving atmosphere to it.
"Looks like we have entered ShahKaj world, its more lovely then I imagined" Nivi exclaimed has she read a old script in her hand.
The ninja was suddenly very quiet and only managed to nod in reply. He wanted to ask about the strange script but decided to ask later. Something was wrong in this world and he just couldn't pin point the cause of his worry. Or maybe it was just restless on his own feelings. It been so many years that he enjoyed the sun and the open air and having the feeling of love around him. Maybe after years of living in the dark he has forgotten how it is to actually live.
In a split second of wonderment his eyes shifted around looking for any shadows. Having found one he looked deeply into it...it was like any normal shadow...but before a smile could reach his mouth...there it was a flash of red. And automatically his one second joy was destroyed. He thought to himself in anger..."What was I expecting...a little sunshine and all my worries are gone?"
They started to walk towards the cow. After few minutes of silence Nivi decided to break the awkwardness.
" You know I was thinking...since we are travelling together...we should get to know eachother name. Hi I am Nivi..."
Nivi's voice broke ninja's deep thought and he managed a quick reply "Viren"
"Oh Viren is a nice..." Suddenly Nivi tripped over a rock on the ground but was saved by Viren's quick movement,
"Than..." Nivi looked up and came eye to eye with Viren. And suddenly it was like everything stopped as a unexplainable feeling washed over both of them.
Nivi in her dream state reached out for the mask covering Viren's face...
"Its really hot here...dont you want to take that off...?". The second Nivi's fingers touched the mask Viren snapped out of his state and jumped back in shock.
"DONT TOUCH THAT!"
Nivi also snapped out of her state and in her confusion could only say "Sorry"
"No sorry I should be the one saying sorry, it just shocked me that all..." There was a long silence has both of them were lost in their thoughts about what just happened. And they both came to the conclusion that it was just the strange atmosphere of this world.
Nivi started running around in circle in wonder.
"This world is really strange...looks like I turn more and more solid as we walk deeper into this world...I havent had these sensation in what seems like centuries" Nivi exclaimed trying to understand how a soul could trip on a rock and be saved by a normal human even if the human was a ninja. She enjoyed the feeling of the heat, air and flowers around her.
A tiny sparkle appeared in Viren's eye looking at Nivi enjoyment...but then there was a sudden change in the air and Viren noticed movement around them.
"Nivi come close to me...theres something out there"
Nivi moved close to Viren and both of them looked around. Nivi noticed three scarecrows facing eachother.
"Oh I don't remember seeing those three scarecrows before and in such strange arrangement" She said looking at Viren, She looked back and there was four scarecrows...
"Where did the other one just come from?...OMG do I see a knife in the scarecrows hands?"
"Stay here!" Viren said has he ran towards the scarecrows. When he got there he saw two people on the ground deep asleep in a hug and the scarecrows surrounding them. There was a female dressed in Asian white dress and a man dressed a jacket weatern clothes with a guitar next to them.
"WAKE UP!" Viren shouted...
Nivi was too busy watching Viren to notice the movement behind her...there was a scarecrow slowing making its way towards her...
