Story of a falling kingdom


             On a mountain of Himalaya, surrounded by clouds there was a small state called Amroha. With great surroundings and endless beauty it was a great place to live. The people were simple and cheerful, Ready to help each other, as same as their king. King Ripuhant was a aggressive warrior, great leader yet a humble king. Harmony between king and his men was teasing the other countries. He has some extraordinary skills. he was a great archer and he started playing with sward from his childhood. 
Amroha can be divided in three part, first one was the castle and advanced city around the castle. Second were the city and the last were villages situated on the outer side of the state. Life of the city was a bit fast and of villages was a bit slow but they all have almost the same lifestyle. After completing their day to day works people of they had a long time to talk about their village, about their daily problems, about their king about each thing that matters for them. And they celebrate a single moment of joy doesn't matter to whom it belongs. Easy life was passing like a sweet dream.
           In the far west, there was jungle with the tallest trees in this area. Dense enough that a person can't realize is it day or night. Area was full of caves about which people were sure that living being of these caves were neither living nor dead but a creatures of between these two states. some people have another views about these creatures that they were the normal humans with the extraordinary weapons and shields provided by that mysterious power, protecting the outer areas of that cursed kingdom called Kindhwagarh also known as "Dark Heaven". People called it heaven because people say that it had several huge treasures that whole Amroha can spend their lives for several generations without working. But they have such a great fear in their mind that these treasures were a worthless stones for them. And they called it Dark because no one has seen it, no one goes there and nobody comes from there. Any king who tried to attack that was ruined. History witnessed that if any one who anyhow succeeded to conquer that state, in the end he was destroyed by the time to the ashes. Every one knew that there was a mysterious power that protects the state and always helps them in different form.
        This story was not new to the king Ripuhant but was very hard for him to believe the existence of such power. He had his own thoughts about this. He knows that one king who won that state earlier and died, had some internal conspiracy against him and other had a serious disease. Ripuhant has researched each and every thing about history of that state. He had belief in God. He knew that the source and end of supreme power is only one, and that is the God himself. And he also knew the philosophy of “light and shadow“ that tells: if there is a God, there must be evil. But accepting this theory publicly might make his people desperate with fear of that neighboring, mysterious kingdom and their homicide beasts or humans whatever they were. This acceptance might disturb a peaceful environment of a beautiful state, that he would never want.
         It was a hard cloudy and cold day on the hill-top. An old saint was arguing with guards on the main gate of the fort. With a long beard waving in the cold wind, that saint had a really great personality that was attracting the nearby common people. Soon there was a great crowd. Realizing that guards will not allow him to go inside to meet the king he decided to disclose the mystery to whom it may concern. "This is not good. The king has to think about his people. We can't see our beloved dieing in front of us." At that time people become curious as well as suspicious about upcoming event. Afraid of a fear that always resided in their mind but no one had thought that it might happen to them. Then the gate opened and few guards took him inside the castle.
         Yesterday a group of (person who graze his cows or sheep) was disappeared from the forest in the west as they lost the way and gone missing. They might have entered the Kindhwagarh region. There is another incident of the last week when a person claimed that he saw some kind of thing attacking a group of travelers; he somehow made a escape from there. These kinds of incidents have increased these days and people have different mouth different stories about it. The king was worried and needed a person who can help him by showing the right way what to do.
        The saint was raj purohit of Amroha. He had leaved the home in his childhood and lived in caves of Himalaya. He spent his time in meditation and prayer of God. His face is full of light of Knowledge and shine of spiritual power. He never came here for a long time. With a good height and a muscular body he seems in good health. Whenever king need a help on any issue he himself went to his cave but on that day he was there without any information. This shows the seriousness of the problem. Everyone was afraid of the future. His calm face was furious. Previously he had solved many problems for the king and every one was sure that he will show a right way out of this situation.
More Coming Soon..........
