The Secrets of the Elements

Chapter 30: The Past Battle

"Then what did the kings and queens do?" quizzed Rishi.

"They battled him, against his enormous army of pure evil," revealed Indra.

"And lost?" asked Rutuja.

"Not really," said Indra. "Yes, they lost their lives but only after successfully destroying almost all his army. They just couldn't destroy him."

"Destroy?" said Rishi. "You mean to kill?"

"No, I mean to destroy," said Indra.

Rutuja and Rishi exchanged a confused glance.

Daksh, on the other hand, was now almost lying on the grass, closing his eyes, taking deep breaths, somehow not bothered about the story his father was telling.

"Azazel is dead, technically, so you can't destroy him," revealed Indra and looked at Dai Ma.

"What do you mean?" asked Rutuja and straightened her back.

"He did die in the battle against the kings and queens, but they did not kill him," said Dai Ma. "Nobody knows how he died, but, he resurrected, nobody knows how."

"I don't get it," said Rishi. "We all are protecting a self-sufficient book. I mean it has the powers of all kings and queens."

"Exactly, son," said Indra.

Daksh opened his eyes to look at his father and then shifted his gaze to Rishi who was somewhat smiling. He rolled his eyes and sat up straight, stretching his arms and turning his neck from the right to the left.

Rutuja looked at him and gave him a 'were you actually sleeping?' look.

"The powers in the book can be earned," said Indra. "Either if the book chooses you, or, forcefully, that's what we expect Azazel to do."

"Forcefully," Daksh finally spoke. "How? Dad."

Rutuja could not understand the need for Daksh stressing on the last word.

"Azazel holds some exceptional powers which we aren't aware of, yet," replied Indra. "If he gets his hands on the book, he can bewitch it, control Grantha, and snatch those powers, or worse, make her his slave."
