Chapter 6 - The Beginning

In a big Hall, there was a big blank screen with multiple knobs and controls. The room was completely white; walls, floor, roof, everything, except for screen and apparatus. It had six doors: three on the right, one in front and two on the left of screen wall. There was a big television hanging on the wall between two doors on the left wall. The television was on and room echoed with its very loud noise.

The single door in the front was thrice the size of other doors and had two red dragons carved around it. The dragons rose from the ground from the sides of the door and faced each other in center above the door. They were looking fiercely at each other. Like all other doors, it was white. There was no knob or keyhole on the door. "Door of opportunity" was inscribed above the door in an ancient language. All other doors seemed regular.

There was one big revolving chair lying in front of the Screen and a man with pure white long beard and hair was sitting in it comfortably. This man had no wrinkles on his face or his body. He had majestic aura around him which was almost being invalidated by his wardrobe choice. He was wearing short Blue pants, showing his thin lower legs and a red t-shirt with yellow floral design. He looked like mix of a perverted cross-dresser and an old era sage. He was immersed in watching a show on television, starring his all-time favorite Sania Gold.

Suddenly, He heard someone's footsteps. It seemed like someone was running towards the room. He looked at television more intently, thinking it was coming from it, but it did not appear to come from Television. He put off television with remote control lying on the right arm of chair.

He sat up in his chair and tried to pinpoint the source and direction of sound.

"Impossible." He thought "No one can come in here. It must be my hallucination. Have I really grown old?" He murmured

"Hahahahahaha. Impossible." He laughed at his absurd thought.

"I am timeless." He thought.

The sound was coming from direction of the Door of Opportunity. Out of curiosity, he stood up and moved towards the door. He could never open that door. Actually, no one can open that door.

"Is there some kind malfunction with the system" He thought.

"No. Not possible. It can never happen" He negated his thought right away.

The sound got stronger and stronger as if someone were coming nearer. He had completely forgotten about the show and looked in the direction of sound keenly, without even blinking his eyes. He was moving towards the door with caution. He had reached almost at the center of the hall when suddenly someone grunted and dived into the hall out of thin air. The mysterious man fell in front of the Door of Opportunity.

The old looking was taken by surprise and fell on his back. Impossible had happened. He was flabbergasted. His mouth and eyes were as wide open as they could. He was unable to believe his senses.

The butt naked invader fell on the floor like he dived to catch something.

"Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh." The mystery man screamed loudly.

Then he stood up and hid his eyes with his hands and shook his head like he was trying to cast something off his face.

"A Man?" Old man thought, rubbed his eyes, blinked them multiple times, thinking this could be hallucination. But that mysterious brown man did not disappear.

"Whooooo aaaaaaaare yoooooooooooo?" It took old man some time to come out of shock.

The mysterious man suddenly blacked out and fell on the floor. He was still covering his eyes by wrapping his arms and body around.

"It has never happened all my life. No one can come in here. It is the absolute rule of the universe." Old man murmured to himself.

Thoughts and questions stormed his mind. With all intellect and knowledge, he gained in his long life, he could not think of any plausible causes allowing the mystery man, lying on the floor, to enter this place.

"What should I do?" He thought to himself. His surprise started to fade away and restlessness and confusion started to rise.

He looked at the mysterious man carefully for the first time. He was butt naked. He had long black beard and hair that reached below his knees. He had thick facial hair and they were a mess. He was very slender. His cheeks had sunk in his mouth and Old man could count his ribs. He was half as tall as the old man himself.

"6 feet?". Old man guessed.

He looked like a prisoner who escaped from some ancient tyrant king. He looked filthy. At first glance, he looked like he had brown complexion but now at a closer look, the old man could tell that he was in fact pale; very pale. All the filth had changed his complexion. The mysterious man looked very weak.

"Looks like he's been starving for quite some time." The old man murmured.

"But look at his Aura." He exclaimed in surprise. Old man could sense a strange aura and an unusual and extraordinary Will to live from this man.

Now that his surprise faded away and he came back to normal, he stood up and moved towards the mystery man. As he reached closer, strong unbearable stench bombarded his nose.

"What the hell?" He was disgusted by the stench. He exhaled loudly to throw the stench out his nostrils. He tried to undo what had already been done. He then covered his nose with his hand but no benefit. At last, he held his breath.

"What a filthy pig. No human smells like that. How crass" He thought. He continued getting closer at a quicker pace now.

He reached the mystery man and sat down on his toes. Mystery man was still covering his eyes. The stench was unbearable here. He could feel it even when he was not breathing. He checked the mystery man's pulse. It was very weak.

He was at the brink of death.
