11 Go to war.

while Andhaka was sitting in the darkness and trying to meditate to find a way out,

the atmosphere in the pataal look wasn't good.

" CROWN PRINCe, WHAT happened to you? Answer me Yuvraja... "

when Vidar the Asura general and the personal bodyguard of Andhaka came to pick up their crown prince and saw him lying there with a pool of blood around him he was immediately stuck with shock and grief and ran towards Andhaka and picked him up.

With a worried face and hopeful eyes at the same time, he quickly put his hand on Andhaka's chest and kept in there even after some time... Finally, a minute had passed but Vidar still couldn't hear a single sound.

With a devastated and sad face, he removed his hand from Andhaka's chest.

He looked at the still-fresh wound and stopped the bleeding with magic and then quickly got and disappeared from the place and appeared back in the Asura palace where the king and queen with all the others were waiting with a ceremonial tilak to welcome their son and the crown prince.

As Vidar appeared, Rushbhanu looked over there with a happy and excited smile on her face as she hasn't seen her son for more than five years and was dying to meet him back and was excited to see how much he would have changed.

the excited smile on her face froze and she looked at the figure in Vidar's arms.

The whole of the hall stopped as if somebody had stopped the time itself and everybody present looked at Vidar and Andhaka.

" Vidar?? " Andhaka's father and the cruel Asura king Hiranyaksha looked at his General with a questioning look in his eyes.

Vidar looked at the worried faces of his king and queen and he controlled his tears and looked forwards and slowly shook his head horizontally with a face full of grief and sadness.

Rushbhanu's knees collapsed on the ground and tears started to pour out of his eyes.

" QUEEN " Her maids rushed to her and held her quickly as their queen suddenly lost her consciousness and was going to fall flat on the ground.

" NO - Nooooo, this can't happen " Hiranyaksha shouted in grief and hysteria and rushed to his child's body in Vidar's hands.

With shaking hands and a tearful face, he raised his hands forward to let Vidar give Andhaka to him.

Vidar carefully handed the bloody body of Andhaka to Hiranyaksha.

The Mighty Asurs king's knees collapsed on the ground after feeling no breath in the body of his son.

" Ahhhhhhhhhh, why - why - why - WHY my CHILD???? YOU COWARDLY INDRA!!??? Hiranyaksa shouted angrily as he can feel the divine energy of Lightening on the wound on Andhaka's body.

Even though it could have also been that someone else was trying to frame Indra and start a dispute between the devas and Asuras but this was just nonsense and Hiranyaksha surely knew that only Indra can do something insidious and cowardly as after all the guy was famous to create problems during the meditation of his enemies.

All the Asuras became mad after hearing Hiranyaksha's words and an insane look of anger appeared on their faces.

They hadn't done anything so insidious and cowardly to any to any of their enemies and the anger for the devas reached to the max in their hearts as they hadn't started any type of war for around so many years but it looked like the Devas weren't interested in peace.

Now since they wants a war, the Asuras were ready to give them the war.

Shukra suddenly appeared in the hall of the Asura king palace with a worried face after sensing the humongous amount of angry aura in the place.

He looked at the Asura general Vidar standing there frozen and Hiranyaksa who was in front of him was on his and held a bloodied figure in their hands. l

A look of devastation and shock covered his whole

face and he stepped forward while looking at the child in Hiranyaksha's hands.

As he reached near and a look of grief and anger spread on his face while looking at the bloody wound and the lifeless body of his student.

" who did this?? " He asked with gritted teeth and fierce eyes.

Hiranyaksha didn't reply as he was still in shock and grief on the death of his son.

He at first just wanted an heir and didn't have any thoughts of being a good father but now after all these years he had become too much attached to his child and can't imagine him being dead.

Hiranyaksha wiped away his tears and an angry look clouded his face while looking at the son of his face.

" Shukracharya, is there any way to bring him back to life? Even if it included anything such as which makes me face Yama the God of death I will do it. " Hiranyaksha spoke quietly with a resolute and fierce look on his face.

Shukracharya started to think while looking at the body of his student with a dilemma filled face.

His face looked as if confused between something and was pondering about something very rapidly as if thinking about the consequences of whatever he was thinking about.

even if Hiranyaksha spoke in a low tone all the Asuras were looking at Shukracharya and hoped that there would be at least some way.

" There is indeed one way but...

" But what Shukracharya? " Hiranyaksha asked quickly with a pleading and hopeful look on his face.

Shukra looked at the hopeful face of Hiranyaksha and Sighed for a second and then became solemn once again.

" There is indeed one way but for that, you will need to Get the earth goddess and then go and find the Turtle king Kurma at the cosmic ocean and then create a mixture from the Bone of the turtle and the life energy of earth goddess but I don't think they will do that willingly as if done it would destroy a big part of the human world which would end up in the death of many innocent creatures. " Shukra spoke slowly with a look of grief and self-blame on his face.

As A Sage himself he should act like one but now at the moment, he chose the life of his student over the life of so many other innocent creatures.

He knows it himself that he was doing a very great sin by doing this and it also puts Hiranyaksha in danger as abducting the mother earth may anger the firstborn sages or the Trimurti which would most likely end up in Hiranyaksha getting killed but it was the decision of a father and a king so he didn't obstruct it too much and somewhere in his heart he also hoped that he comes back with success.

" Brother you go and handle the earth goddess and Kurma till then we will distract the devas by attacking them with surprise. " Hiranyakashipu spoke with a solemn look on his face and The Danava king Viprachitti Also stepped forward and nodded after hearing Hiranyakashipu's words.

After listening to Hiranyakasipu's words the silence cracked in the hall and the Asuras started to talk among themselves and were started to get ready for the battle in which they may be going to fight against the devas.

Rushbhanu who had now regained her senses back rushed to Hiranyaksha after she heard about the way to bring Andhaka back to life.

" Husband please save our child. please save our child. " Rushbhanu spoke while crying and bent down near her husband's legs and started to plead with both of her hands.

The Asura king looked at his wife and then at his dead child and a look of cruelty crowded his face.

He didn't care about the lives which can be lost to revive Andhaka and with a firm expression, he looked at Guru Shukra and then disappeared from the hall after nodding to him respectively.

Vidar who was standing there like a statue also controlled his emotions and disappeared for the place and went behind his King.
