Jab Sikandar apne room ki traf jah raha tha to sub log use ghoor rahe the.
Yeh sab log Sikandar ke saath kaafi friendly thay, is liye us ne bhi flow ke saath chalne ka faisla kiya. Kabhi kabhi is tarah ki situation mein hona itna bura bhi nahi lagta.
Apne room tak pohanch kar, guards ne us ke liye darwaza khol diya.
Room ke andar Ryze aur Karan maujood thay, jinhein Vargas ne Sikandar ki request par yahan rehne ki ijazat de di thi.
Sikandar ne Vargas ko bataya tha ke us par in dono ka qarz hai, aur Vargas ne us baat par yaqeen kar liya.
Wahan chaar personal assistants thay—do butlers aur do maids.
Yeh room asal mein ek aur chaar rooms par mushtamil tha.
Un mein se ek room Adhara aur Sikandar ke liye tha, jab ke doosra room Karan aur Ryze ke liye tha jo zyada tar yahin rehne wale thay.
Baaki do rooms khaali thay.
Sikandar ne apni uniform kholi aur butler ke lene se pehle hi utaar di. Phir woh apne room mein gaya aur king-sized bed par let gaya jo ek rune se imbued tha.
Woh rune kisi bhi letne wale ko relax kar deta tha—bed is ki wajah se garam aur bohat comfortable tha.
Jab woh apne liye ek shelter ki jagah ke baare mein soch raha tha, tab achanak darwaza khula aur ek maid skin-tight uniform mein ek tray par drink le kar andar aayi.
Yeh dekh kar Sikandar ko ajeeb sa mehsoos hua, jaise woh koi badshah ho.
Usay pehle kabhi aisa treatment nahi mila tha, aur ab woh is se kaafi enjoy kar raha tha.
Maid ne tray ko bed ke paas drawer par bohat ehtiyaat se rakha. Lekin jab woh wapas jaane lagi to Sikandar ne usay awaaz di,
“Tum… tumhara naam kya hai?”
“Mera naam Clarice hai. Main aap ki kya madad kar sakti hoon, Sir Sikandar?” maid ne shaista andaaz mein jawab diya.
Sikandar ne sochte hue apni thodi rub ki aur phir poocha,
“Kya tumhein yahan ke qareeb koi underground jagah ka pata hai? University ke andar ya bahar?”
Maid ne kuch dair socha, phir sar hila kar kaha,
“Mujhe aisi kisi jagah ka ilm nahi hai, Sir.”
Jawab milne ke baad Sikandar ne haath hila kar usay jaane ka ishara kiya. Lekin jaise hi woh darwazay ke qareeb pohanchi—
Maid ruk gayi aur boli,
“Mujhe yaad aaya, qareeb hi ek canyon hai. Lekin mujhe nahi pata ke wahan jana abhi allow hai ya nahi.”
Yeh sun kar Sikandar ne maid ka shukriya ada kiya, aur us ke honton ke kone par ek halki si muskurahat aa gayi.
_ _ _
Sikandar apni maid ki baat ki hui canyon dhoondhne ke liye bahar nikalna chahta tha, lekin us se pehle us ne socha ke pehle kuch kha liya jaye.
Sirf do minute chalne ke baad hi jab woh university ke cafeteria ke samne pohncha, to usay ajeeb sa ehsaas hua.
Ochyra University ke dino ko yaad karte hue uske dimagh mein khayal aya,
wahan khanay ki jagah tak pohnchne ke liye kam az kam bees minute chalna parta tha.
Faraday University aur Ochyra University ke size ka farq bilkul wazeh tha.
Cafeteria ke andar qadam rakhte hi Sikandar ne dekha ke laal uniform pehne hue bohat se students baithay hue khana kha rahe hain aur apas mein baat cheet kar rahe hain.
Cafeteria bohat bara tha — har taraf tables aur chairs lagi hui thi.
Cafeteria ke aik side par bara sa glass laga hua tha jahan se football ground ka shandaar manzar nazar aa raha tha.
Aur haan… Awakened log sports bhi khelte hain.
Yeh unki class ka hissa hota hai, kyun ke is se unhein apne elements ko control karna seekhne mein madad milti hai.
Unke kicks mein unke elements shamil hotay hain, jis ki wajah se unke shots bohat zyada taqatwar hotay hain. Isi liye jo ball woh khel rahe hotay hain, woh aam football nahi hoti.
Unki taqatwar kicks ki wajah se poora football ground aik translucent energy barrier se dhaka hua hota hai.
Agar koi normal insan unke shot ki zad mein aa jaye…
to seedha maut hoti.
Haryali se bhare darakhton ke darmiyan students football khel rahe thay, aur yeh manzar cafeteria ke andar se bilkul clear nazar aa raha tha.
Isi dauran Sikandar ka pait zor se bola.
Grrrr!
Us ne idhar udhar dekha aur mukhtalif qisam ke khanay dekhe.
“Awakened High Energy Meal?”
Sikandar ne stall ka board parhte hue socha, jahan bohat se students line mein kharay thay.
Uski dilchaspi barh gayi aur woh bhi line mein lag gaya.
Kuch students ne usay pehchan liya.
“Sikandar, aap seedha aage ja kar order kar sakte ho,” aik larkay ne kaha.
Sikandar ne adab se mana karna chaha…
lekin uska pait dobara bol utha.
Grrrrrr!
Donon hans paray.
“Lagta hai aapka pait aik minute bhi aur bardasht nahi kar sakta,” larki ne mazakia andaaz mein kaha.
Sharmindagi se Sikandar ka chehra laal ho gaya aur woh chup chaap aage chala gaya.
Waisay to usay cafeteria aane ki zarurat nahi thi — uske room mein maids aur butler hamesha khana la dete thay — magar woh bas thora bahar nikalna chahta tha.
Counter par pohnch kar us ne menu dekha…
lekin zyada tar cheezein us ke liye bilkul nayi theen.
Aakhir us ne kaha,
“Aapka signature meal de dein… do portions.”
“Abhi le kar aata hoon, Sir Sikandar,” cook ne muskurate hue kaha.
Sirf do minute mein khana tayar tha.
Jab plate Sikandar ke samne rakhi gayi, to uski aankhein khul gayin.
Khanay ki khushboo itni tez aur gehri thi ke uska muh pani se bhar gaya.
Presentation khaas nahi thi,
magar khushboo lajawab thi.
Plate mein aik steak jaisa gosht tha jiske upar brown sauce thi, side par french fries aur mixed vegetables theen.
Zahir tor par, khana zyada tempting nahi lag raha tha.
Woh khali table par ja kar baith gaya jo window ke paas thi, jahan se football clearly nazar aa raha tha.
Phir us ne khana khana shuru kiya.
Bite!
Fork se gosht ka aik tukra uthate hi jaise hi us ne bite li…
woh hairaan reh gaya.
Texture ne usay hila kar rakh diya.
“Yeh khana to bilkul basic hai… koi khaas taste bhi nahi,”
woh hairani se steak ko dekhta hua sochne laga.
Lekin tabhi—
<Obtained 4,000 EXP>
Sikandar sakht hairaan reh gaya.
Usay achanak 4,000 EXP mil gaye thay… bina kisi ladai, bina kisi training ke.
Usay foran samajh aa gaya.
“Yeh khana…?”
Woh plate ko tajassus se dekhne laga.
Ochyra University mein us ne kabhi aisa khana nahi khaya tha jo EXP deta ho.
Isi dauran do log uske samne aa kar baith gaye.
Sikandar ne dekha — dono chehre uske liye naye thay.
“Hi! Tum Sikandar ho na? Main Lisa hoon, mil kar khushi hui!”
Larki ne purjosh muskurahat ke sath kaha.
Uske chhote bhuray baal kandhon tak aa rahe thay,
white oversized sweater usay gardan se kamar tak dhak rahi thi,
aur uski halki bhuri aankhein bohat chamakdar theen.
Uske sath baitha larka bola,
“Main Jack hoon, hum dono second-year ke students hain.”
Sikandar ne sir thora sa tilt kiya aur seedha poocha,
“Mujhe bully karne aaye ho, senior?”
Jack aur Lisa dono hans paray.
“Bully? Tum to third-year ke top ranker ke barabar bataye ja rahe ho,”
Jack ne gardan khujate hue kaha.
University forum par Sikandar ki taqat ki afwah phail chuki thi.
Faraday University ka har student yeh baat jaanta tha.
Koi bhi pehla banda nahi banna chahta tha jo Sikandar ke haath se pit jaye.
Lisa ne narmi se kaha,
“Hum sirf hello kehne aaye thay… aur agar tumhein bura na lage to hum tumhein university bhi dikha sakte hain.”
Sikandar ne aankhein sikor kar dono ko dekha.
Jack aur Lisa be-ikhtiyar nigaal gaye.
Sikandar ki shaan aur reputation un par dabao daal rahi thi.
“Mujhe pata hai tum dono kuch chahte ho. Seedha bolo,”
Sikandar ne la-parwahi se kaha.
Lisa ne halki si muskurahat ke sath kaha,
“Hum Adhara ke sath spar aur training karna chahte hain.”
Sikandar ne bhonhein utha li.
“Us se khud kyun nahi poochte?”
Jack ne lambi saans li,
“Woh itni asaani se approach nahi hoti.”
“Kya yeh naya environment hai ya woh waqai aisi hi hai?”
Sikandar ne socha.
Woh kursi par peeche jhuk gaya.
“Main Adhara se baat kar lunga… lekin tumhein mere do sawalon ka jawab dena hoga.”
Jack aur Lisa dono ka dil zor se dhadka.
Sikandar ne ungliyan jor kar unki taraf dekha.
Uska andaaz sanjeeda ho gaya.
Phir woh dheere se bola,
“Yeh khana… kis cheez ka bana hai?”
Dono ka munh khula reh gaya.
“Bas? Itni tension isi sawal ke liye?”
Jack ne hairani se kaha.
Lisa hans kar boli,
“Yeh gosht mutated animal ka hota hai.”
Sikandar ki aankhein chamak utheen.
“Isi liye EXP mila…”
Usay Adhara yaad aa gayi, jo pehle mutated animals kha kar strong hui thi.
Agar usay pehle pata hota…
to shayad woh kab ka yeh try kar chuka hota.
“Taste khaas nahi hota, lekin energy zyada deta hai,”
Lisa ne bataya.
Jack ne stall ki taraf ishara kiya.
“Mehnga hota hai, lekin students training ke liye khushi khushi lete hain.”
“Mehnga?!”
Sikandar aik dum khara ho gaya.
“Main ne to abhi tak payment hi nahi ki!”
Woh foran uthne laga, lekin Lisa ne uska haath pakar kar usay wapas bitha diya…
Phir us ne kaha,
“Tum bewakoof ho kya? Tum first-ranker ho, is liye chahe tum jitna bhi khao, tumhara khana university ki taraf se paid hota hai.”
woh dil hi dil mein sochta hai, lekin hairani dheere dheere ek smirk mein badal jati hai.
Takreeban tees minute guzarne ke baad—
Sikandar ki table par plates ke dher lag chuke thay. Plates itni zyada ho chuki thin ke jaise paharon ki qataren bani hui hon. Yeh manzar dekh kar aas paas bethay logon ki aankhein phail jati hain.
Yahan tak ke Lisa aur Jack bhi bilkul stunned ho jate hain.
Masla university ke paison ka nahi tha,
balke woh is baat par hairan thay ke Sikandar itna zyada khana kha sakta hai, jo ke aksar Supernaturals se bhi zyada tha.
“Burp!”
Sikandar pait bhar kar dakar leta hai. Uske chehre par poori tarah se sukoon aur khushi nazar aa rahi hoti hai.
“Sirf khanay se 300,000 Exp mil gayi… agar main roz aise khaa sakoon, to lagbhag 900,000 Exp rozana ho jayegi,”
Sikandar sochta hai, aur is naye raaz par woh bohot khush aur excited mehsoos karta hai.
“Tum ho gaye ho?”
Lisa poochti hai, abhi bhi hairani mein.
Sikandar itminan se sar hila deta hai.
“Ab second question kya tha?”
Lisa kehnay lagti hai.
Itna pait bharnay ke baad Sikandar mushkil se hiltay-dultay khara hota hai, kyun ke zyada harkat karne par lagta hai ke jo kuch bhi us ne khaya hai, sab bahar aa jayega.
Woh apna pait sambhalte hue kehta hai,
“Kya tumhein kisi canyon ke baare mein pata hai jo abhi recently discover hua hai?”
“Canyon? Mujhe parhnay ka shoq nahi, is liye nahi,”
Jack laaparwahi se kehta hai.
Lekin Lisa thori dair sochti hai, phir achanak ungli chatkati hai.
“Oh! Haan! Mujhe yaad aya, yahan ke qareeb ek hidden canyon discover hua tha. Kya hua uska?”
Lisa jawab deti hai,
“Tum university ki website check karo. Sector 3E ki har nayi information sab se pehle wahin milti hai.”
Sikandar dono ka shukriya ada karta hai. Uske dil mein hota hai ke aaj hi us canyon ke baare mein check kare.
“Bura na manna agar main poochon,”
Lisa thori jhijhak ke sath kehti hai,
“Ochyra University mein ek rumor chal raha hai.”
Phir woh aage kehti hai,
“Log kehte hain ke ek rule hai ke campus mein kisi se be panga le lo lekan Sikandar aur Adhara se panga na lo.”
Yeh sunkar Sikandar ke chehre par muskurahat aa jati hai.
“Aisa rule bhi hai? Mujhe nahi pata tha ke log mujhe itni importance de rahe hain,”
woh dil hi dil mein hans leta hai.
“Us rumor ke mutabiq,”
Lisa poochti hai,
“Kya tum hi woh ho jo Adhara ko train karta hai?”
Sikandar kuch lamhon ke liye ruk jata hai. Lisa ki curiosity aur bhi barh jati hai.
Uske chehre par bechaini dekh kar Sikandar halki si hansi hansi.
“Main uska teacher nahi hoon,”
woh kehta hai,
“lekin haan… main ne unhein strong bananay mein thora bohot role zaroor ada kiya hai.”
Yeh suntay hi Lisa aur Jack dono excited ho jate hain.
“Kaise?!”
dono aik sath cheekh uthte hain.
Unki awaaz itni tez hoti hai ke aas paas bethay log unki taraf dekhne lagte hain, jis par dono foran sharminda ho kar wapas baith jate hain.
Phir woh apna bhara hua pait sambhalta hai aur uth khara hota hai. Uska irada hota hai ke canyon ki location isi waqt check kare.
Lekin dono usay rok lete hain.
Sikandar mud kar sawaliya nazar se dekhta hai.
“Toh… kya tum Adhara se keh saktay ho ke woh hamaray sath train kare?”
Jack umeed bhari awaaz mein poochta hai.
“Hum ne tumhara sawal ka jawab de diya,”
Lisa foran kehti hai,
“ab tumhein apna wada poora karna hoga.”
Sikandar thori dair soch kar kehta hai,
“Thik hai, main us se baat kar loon ga.”
Yeh keh kar woh chal deta hai.
Chaltay chaltay, Sikandar peeche se Jack aur Lisa ki khushi bhari cheekhein sun sakta hai, jab woh celebrate kar rahe hotay hain ke Sikandar ne Adhara se baat karne ka wada kar liya hai.

Sector 2B – Wind Sorcerers Guild
Sector 2B mein waqia Wind Sorcerers Guild ka markaz Awakened logon se bhara hua tha. Guild ke andar aur bahar chhote chhote groups mein Awakened chal phir rahe thay, baatein kar rahe thay aur nayi quests ki talash mein thay.
Ye tamam log Wind Sorcerers Guild ka hissa thay, aur zyada tar yahan ek hi wajah se aate thay—
Fame.
Paise Awakened ke liye koi masla nahi hotay. Wo chahen to duniya ke kisi bhi kone se kama sakte hain.
Lekin shohrat ek alag cheez hai.
Har Awakened chahta hai ke uska naam ho, uski pehchan ho, aur uska darja buland ho.
Aur ye sab hasil karne ka sab se behtar tareeqa hota hai—
Guild join karna aur mushkil quests complete karna.
Zahir hai, har Awakened sirf fame ke peeche nahi hota.
Kuch log waqai insaniyat ke liye ladna chahte hain.
Wind Sorcerers Guild ki imarat ek gehri khaai ke darmiyan banayi gayi thi.
Ye dono taraf ki zameen ko jorne wali ek azeem bridge ki tarah kaam karti thi.
Is ke gird kai udti hui imaratein mojood theen.
Un sab mein sab se zyada numaya ek buland imarat thi jo mandir ki shakal mein thi, aur lagta tha jaise wo badalon ko chhoo rahi ho.
Ye tamam cheezein sirf is liye mumkin theen kyun ke:
Ek high-rank Awakened lagataar is system ko maintain kar raha tha
Aur ek everlasting rune jo mana se feed hota tha
In dono ke baghair ye sab namumkin hota.
Sab se buland imarat ke ilawa, ek aur imarat thi jiske upar saaf likha tha—
“Training”
Guild ke Awakened in udti hui imaraton tak wind tunnels ke zariye pohanchte thay.
Bas tunnel ke andar qadam rakhna hota, aur hawa khud unhein manzil tak le jaati.
Training building ke andar is waqt khaasi garmi thi.
Ek middle-aged aadmi hawa mein levitate kar raha tha.
Uski umar ke muqablay mein uska jism bohot muscular tha, aur uske gird hawa ghoom rahi thi jaise wo uska markaz ho.
Sirf ek nazar mein hi pata chal jata ke ye aadmi intehai taqatwar hai.
Takreeban 20 Awakened uske gird kharay thay, bilkul khamosh, poori tawajjo ke saath usay dekh rahe thay.
Achaanak, uske gird jama hone wali hawa be-qaboo ho gayi.
Wo tez ghoomti hui ek tornado ki shakal ikhtiyar karne lagi.
Is hawa ka rang red tha—
Jo saaf sabit karta tha ke ye ek high-ranking wind element hai.
Phir—
Us aadmi ke peechay hawa se bana ek azeem parinda zahir hua.
ROAR!!
Parinday ki dahaar itni khofnaak thi ke qareeb maujood low-rank Awakened par dabao aa gaya.
Us parinday ke chaar par thay jo shaan se phailay huay thay.
Kai Awakened ke paon larkhara gaye.
Lekin bheer mein se teen log bilkul seedhay kharay thay—
Jaise ye mana un par bilkul asar hi nahi kar raha ho.
Agar Sikandar yahan hota, to wo foran pehchan leta ke beech wala shakhs kaun hai—
Wesley Atkins
25 Golden Crest mein se har ek ka apna guild hota hai, jahan wo Awakened ko operate karte hain—
Quests dete hain, panah dete hain, training dete hain.
Ye sab kuch UWO ki nigrani mein hota hai.
Wesley Atkins
Wind Sorcerers Guild ka malik tha.
Wesley us middle-aged aadmi ko ghour se dekh raha tha.
Uski bhonhein sikurn gayeen jab usne tornado ke beech ek ajeeb si disturbance mehsoos ki.
Thori dair baad, hawa aur zyada compress hone lagi.
Parinda aur wo aadmi dono hawa ke pinjray mein phans gaye.
“ARGHH!!”
Aadmi cheekh utha.
Phir—
BOOM!!
Hawa zor se phat gayi.
Zabardast shockwave ne aas paas kharay low-rank Awakened ko door ja phainka.
Wesley aur uske saath kharay do aur aadmiyon ne foran barrier bana kar blast ko rok liya.
Wesley ka chehra ghamgeen ho gaya.
“Ye pehle jaisa hi hai,” uske daayein taraf kharay aadmi ne kaha.
Wo hara libaas pehne huay tha, aur uski aankhon mein ghussa jhalak raha tha.
“Loyd ka element control sab se behtar hai,” baayein taraf kharay tez chehray wale aadmi ne kaha,
“Spellbook ki instructions mein ghalti namumkin hai.”
Wesley ne thori dair socha.
‘Kya usne spellbook ke saath ched-chaad ki?’
Phir usne sar hila diya.
‘Agar wo pioneer hota to spell kaam hi na karta. Spell chal raha hai… magar wo disturbance…’
Usne haath utha kar ishara kiya.
Loyd ko bahar le jaya gaya—
Wo zakhmi ho chuka tha.
Wesley ki secretary qareeb aayi.
“Sir… Ari aur Jim se maloomat hasil karne wali hamari team wipe ho chuki hai.”
Wesley ka chehra sakht ho gaya.
“Unki aakhri location?”
“Suburb, Sir. Wahan enter karte hi contact khatam ho gaya,”
usne E-pad aage barhate huay kaha.
Wesley ne poocha,
“Stevanus ka kya haal hai?”
“Wo abhi tak apni mansion se bahar nahi nikla, lekin kuch dair pehle log uske ghar ke samne jama huay thay… aur phir sab south ki taraf nikal gaye.”
“And Sikandar?”
“Usay aakhri dafa Emham Forest mein dekha gaya tha.
Uske baad ek group usay apne saath le gaya.”
Wesley ki pareshani thori kam hui.
‘Dono ke darmiyan kuch na kuch zaroor chal raha hai…’
.
.
.
.
Sikandar is waqt university ki website scroll kar raha tha,
us canyon ke bare mein maloomat dhoondhte huay.
Aakhirkar usay ek news mil gayi.
Canyon ko chhupa hua kaha gaya tha,
jo haal hi mein discover hua.
Ek raahgeer ke mutabiq,
Galdosa River ke paas achaanak zameen se zor daar cracking sound aayi.
Usay laga jaise zalzala aa gaya ho.
Phir achaanak—
River ke neeche wali zameen phat gayi.
Pani seedha us crack ke andar gir gaya,
aur teen minute tak river ka ek bhi qatra baqi na raha.
Jab sab kuch khatam hua,
to neeche ek intehai gehra canyon mojood tha.
Sikandar ki aankhon mein chamak aa gayi—
Ye sirf ittefaq nahi tha.
Jab sab kuch khatam hua, to wahan se guzarne walay logon ne dekha ke river ke neechay zameen phat chuki thi, aur ek gehri canyon ban chuki thi.
Us aadmi ne foran ye baat FAA tak pohanchai. FAA ne investigation ke baad ek detailed report banai, aur ab wahan bohot se researchers aur experts us jagah ko explore kar rahe thay.
Sikandar university ke web portal par ye sab parh raha tha.
“Tasveer dekh kar lagta hai ke ye jagah humein Yule Moon se bacha sakti hai,” Sikandar ne socha.
Tasveer mein canyon ki deewaron par kai caves nazar aa rahi thin, jo Yule Moon ki roshni se bilkul mehfooz panah faraham kar sakti thin.
Canyon ki jagah confirm karne ke baad, Sikandar ne apni maid Clarice ko bulaya.
“Sir Sikandar, aap ne mujhe bulaya?”
Clarice ne adab se jhuk kar kaha.
Uski nazar zameen par thi, wo Sikandar ki aankhon mein dekhne se katra rahi thi.
Sikandar ne poocha,
“Is sector ka sab se bara authority kaun sambhalta hai?”
Clarice ne pur-sukoon lehjay mein jawab diya,
“Wo Sir Vargas hain. Wo sirf principal hi nahi, balkay is sector mein UWO ke representative bhi hain.”
Ye sun kar Sikandar ne apni thori par haath phaira aur halka sa haath hila diya.
Clarice ne dobara jhuk kar salam kiya aur kamray se nikal gayi, jaate waqt darwaza bhi ahista se band kar diya.
“Vargas shayad mujhe wahan jaane de de… lekin wo buddha mujhe zyada dair khali nahi baithne dega,”
Sikandar ne socha, phir bed par let kar aankhein band kar li.
.
.
.
Agla Din
Agley din Sikandar Vargas ke kamray se karwi shakal ke sath bahar nikla.
Us ne Vargas se Hidden Canyon ghoomne ki ijazat maangi thi, ye keh kar ke usay research mein dilchaspi hai. Vargas ne khushi khushi ijazat de di…
lekin us ke badlay jo shart rakhi, us ne Sikandar ko hila kar rakh diya.
Vargas chahta tha ke Sikandar doosri universities ke top-ranker students ko shikast de.
Wo chahta tha ke Sikandar Faraday University ki taqat aur shohrat sab par zahir kare — sirf university ka naam roshan karne ke liye.
Sikandar ne bohot bargaining ki, lekin aakhirkaar use maan’na pada.
Usay teen mukhtalif universities ke teen top-rankers ko harana tha.
Us ke paas koi aur raasta nahi tha…
Yule Moon qareeb aa raha tha.
Isi wajah se Sikandar ka chehra itna bujha hua tha.
Agar wo aur mashhoor ho gaya, to hasad karne walay log aur barh jayenge.
Usey insaanon ke sath aur conflicts nahi chahiye thay.
Dar ki baat nahi thi…
masla ye tha ke agar baat had se barhi, to usay phir kisi insaan ko qatal karna par sakta tha.
Sikandar bhari dil ke sath apne kamray mein gaya aur dekha ke Adhara bed par leti hui thi.
Wo abhi shower se nikli thi aur bathrobe pehne hui thi.
Adhara ne Sikandar ka chehra dekha aur poocha,
“Kya hua?”
Sikandar bed par seedha gir gaya aur bola,
“Vargas… wo chahta hai ke main doosri universities ke top-rankers ko haraoon, tab ja kar mujhe Hidden Canyon mein jaane dega.”
Adhara ne hairani se poocha,
“Hidden Canyon? Kyun?”
“Agla full moon qareeb hai. Agar hum uski roshni mein aa gaye, to bohot nuqsaan hoga,”
Sikandar ne sust lehjay mein jawab diya.
Adhara ne samajhte hue sar hilaaya, phir chupke se Sikandar ke paas aayi aur use galay laga liya.
“Sirf teen students hain. Tum to ek punch mein hara doge!”
Adhara hansi ke sath boli.
Sikandar ne apna chehra bed mein chhupa liya aur muffled awaaz mein bola,
“Ye bullying kehlati hai… un bachon ka mere samne koi chance nahi.”
Is waqt Sikandar ki taqat itni barh chuki thi ke koi bhi student, chahe third-year ka hi kyun na ho, uska muqabla nahi kar sakta tha.
Aur Vargas ka ye hukam Sikandar ko bechain kar raha tha.
Usey na to zyada attention chahiye thi,
na hi bina kisi faiday ke larai.
Uska asal maqsad sirf taqat hasil karna tha…
taake wo jald se jald Supernatural territory tak pohanch sake.
Lekin ab usay maanna hi tha.
“Aaj raat canyon ke liye tayyari karo. Karan ko bhi saath aane ko kehna,”
Sikandar ne kaha.
Adhara ne sar hilaaya aur kapray badalne chali gayi.

Raat Ka Waqt
Raat ko Sikandar aur Adhara Hidden Canyon ke liye tayyar thay.
Unhon ne bags pack kar liye thay, agar kisi wajah se wahan aik din se zyada rukna par jaye.
Aaj sirf scouting karni thi.
Abhi tak wahan se koi ajeeb cheez samne nahi aayi thi,
lekin khatray ka imkaan phir bhi maujood tha.
System ke mutabiq wahan Diamond Wolf paya jata tha —
ek mutated janwar jo zameen ke neechay rehta hai.
Isi liye Sikandar har qisam ke mutated creatures ke liye tayyar tha.
Packing ke baad wo Karan ko lene nikalay.
Unhon ne Karan ke kamray ka darwaza khatkhataya,
Kamray Ke ander
Karan bed par leta hua tha, uske maathe par garam towel rakha hua tha.
Uske paas Ryze baitha uski dekh bhaal kar raha tha.
“Mujhe jaana hai, Ryze,”
Karan ne be-basi se kaha.
Ryze foran bol utha,
“Nahi! Tum beemar ho! Tumhein bed par rehna hoga!”
Karan , Sikandar—ko awaaz dena chahta tha, lekin Ryze ne use rokh diya.
“Main Sikandar aur Adhara ko bata deta hoon,”
ye keh kar Ryze ne darwaza khol diya.
Sikandar ne Ryze ko dekha aur poocha,
“Karan kahan hai? Usey bahar milne ko kaho.”
Ryze ne ahista se kaha,
“Karan beemar hai.”
Ye sun kar Sikandar aur Adhara dono hairaan ho gaye.
Half-Werewolf ka beemar hona namumkin lagta tha.
Sirf koi bohot hi sakht disease hi Karan ko is haal mein la sakti thi.
Sikandar seedha kamray ke andar chala gaya aur Karan ko bed par leta dekha.
Karan waqai beemar lag raha tha…
lekin wo aankhon hi aankhon mein Sikandar ko ishara kar raha tha ke Ryze ko mana lo.
Adhara ne jhuk kar Ryze se poocha,
“Tumhein kyun lagta hai ke wo beemar hai?”
Ryze ne jawab diya,
“Bas uska haath chhoo kar dekho. Uska jism bohot thanda hai.”
Sikandar ne aage barh kar Karan ka haath pakra…
lekin wo bilkul normal tha.
“Thanda? Ye to bilkul theek hai,”
Sikandar bola.
Ye sun kar Ryze ne bhonay charha liye.
Wo aage barha aur Sikandar ka haath pakar liya.
“Tum bhi beemar ho! Tumhara haath bhi baraf ki tarah thanda hai!”
Phir Ryze ne sheeshe ki taraf ishara kiya,
“Sheesha dekho.”
Sikandar hairani se sheeshe ke paas gaya aur apni shakal dekhi…
Uska chehra bilkul peela pad chuka tha.
“Kya…?
Main itna peela kyun lag raha hoon?!”
_ _ _
“Main itna pheeka kyun lag raha hoon…?”
Sikandar ne hairani se socha jab uski nazar sheeshe mein apni surat par pari.
Uska chehra bilkul be-jaan lag raha tha, jaise khoon hi na ho. Isi waqt Adhara bhi aage barhi aur sheeshe ke samne khari ho gayi. Jaise hi uski nazar apni reflection par pari, uski aankhein phail gayin.
Yeh dekh kar dono sakht shock mein aa gaye.
Iska sirf ek hi jawab ho sakta tha.
“System, mere sath kya ho raha hai?” Sikandar ne foran poocha.
<Yule Moon ki energy hawa mein phail chuki hai. Is wajah se appearance ka badalna bilkul qudrati hai. Lekin Yule Moon ka asal asar abhi shuru hi hua hai>
Yeh parhte hi Sikandar ki bhonhein sakhti se sikarh gayin.
Use bilkul pasand nahi tha jab system baatein chhupata tha. Aisa lag raha tha jaise system jaan boojh kar suspense bana raha ho… jaise use maza aa raha ho ke Sikandar baad mein hairan ho.
“System, Yule Moon ke douran aur kya hoga? Sirf itna ke moonlight Werewolves ko nuksaan pohanchayegi?”
Sikandar ne almost iltija ke andaz mein poocha.
Lekin…
System ne koi jawab nahi diya.
Sikandar ne gehri saans li aur kaha,
“Ryze, tum yahin rukoge. Main, Karan aur Adhara bahar ja rahe hain. Tum bas yahin raho.”
Phir usne Karan ko ishara kiya ke follow kare.
Ryze ka chehra pareshani se bhar gaya. Usay lag raha tha ke yeh teeno theek nahi hain.
“Tum log theek to ho na—”
Lekin uski awaaz andekhi kar di gayi.
Teenon kamray se bahar nikal gaye.
Sikandar ne haath uthaya aur foran ek butler aaya.
“Yaqeeni banao ke Ryze apne kamray mein hi rahe.”
“Butler ne gehri jhuk kar salam kiya aur kamray ke andar chala gaya taake Ryze par nazar rakh sake.”
University ke lobby se guzarte hue, achanak unke peeche se kisi ki maujoodgi mehsoos hui.
Karan ne halki awaaz mein Sikandar ko ahgah kiya.
Aur phir maloom hua ke woh Suraj tha, jo chupke se peeche aa raha tha.
Sikandar ke chehre par halki si mocking muskurahat aa gayi.
Jaise hi woh university ke entrance par pohanche, Suraj ne achanak peeche se cheekh mari,
“WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING?!”
Suraj ko umeed thi ke Sikandar dar jayega…
Lekin aisa kuch nahi hua.
Na Sikandar, na Adhara, na Karan — koi bhi hairan nahi hua.
Suraj ke chehre par disappointment saaf nazar aa rahi thi.
“Hum jaante thay tum peeche ho,” Sikandar ne halki hansi ke sath kaha.
“Tum bhool gaye ke Karan yahan hai?”
Suraj ne apna maatha peet li.
“Damn… main bhool hi gaya tha.”
Kyran ke senses waqai lajawab thay Suraj jaise expert ke liye bhi.
Suraj ki excitement dheemi par gayi.
“Tum log bilkul fun hi nahi ho. Waise… is waqt kahan ja rahe ho?”
“Canyon,” Sikandar ne beparwahi se kaha.
“Saath chalna hai?”
Suraj ne Sikandar ka chehra dekha aur foran frown kar gaya.
“Bro… tum theek ho? Tum bohot zyada pale lag rahe ho.”
“Kuch nahi hua,” Sikandar ne haath hila kar kaha.
“Ab batao, aa rahe ho ya nahi?”
Suraj ne foran sar hila diya.
University mein rukna usay bore kar raha tha, aur Sikandar ke sath rehna hamesha interesting hota tha.
Yun teen log chaar ban gaye.
Jab woh Canyon pohanche, Sikandar ne dekha ke wahan bohot si gaariyan khari hain.
FAA aur UWO ki gaariyan har taraf thi. Safed kapron mein scientists ghoom rahe thay, aur unke darmiyan bohot se Awakened guards mojood thay — jin ki power Rank 3 peak se Rank 6 tak thi.
Yeh Sector 3E tha — research sector, jahan supernatural ke khilaf nayi technologies par kaam ho raha tha.
Canyon sirf 10 miles door tha Faraday University se, aur Suraj ki gaari ki wajah se safar aur bhi asaan ho gaya.
Sikandar canyon ke entrance par pohancha hi tha ke ek police officer ne rok liya.
“Bachon, yahan aana mana hai. Wapas chalay jao,” officer ne kaha.
Sikandar ne bina bole ek safed paper uske hawale kiya.
Officer ne beparwahi se paper dekha…
Aur phir uska rawaiya foran badal gaya.
“Maazrat, sir. Aap ja sakte hain.”
Sikandar ne chalte hue poocha,
“Yahan ka zimmedar kaun hai?”
“Professor Nolan Hildago,” officer ne door ishara kiya.
Professor Nolan aik budde aadmi thay, grey baalon ke sath. Safed coat ke neeche grey suit, seene par organization ka badge aur kamar par bandook.
“Professor Nolan,” Sikandar ne qareeb ja kar kaha.
“Tum kaun ho?” Nolan ne poocha.
“Sikandar Silverstar. Sir Vargas ki taraf se bheja gaya student.”
Yeh sunte hi Nolan ka lehja narm ho gaya.
“Ah… tum wahi ho. Batao, kya maloomat chahiye?”
“Canyon ke baare mein. Ab tak kya mila?”
Nolan ne gehri awaaz mein kaha,
“Hum ne sirf surface explore kiya hai. Yahan aise stones, gems aur plants mile hain jo ek bilkul nayi energy emit karte hain.”
“Caves bohot zyada hain… aur kuch bohot gehri jaati hain.”
Uska dil bechain ho gaya aur qadam aage barhane mein hichkichahat mehsoos hui.
Naam se hi lag raha tha ke yahan rehne wali cheez mamooli nahi hogi… balkay bohat zyada taqatwar.
“Sikandar? Kya hua?”
Adhara ne hairani se poocha.
Sikandar group ke aagay chal raha tha, is tarah achanak ruk jana sab ko pareshan kar gaya.
“Kuch nahi… aage chalte rehte hain,”
Sikandar ne kaha aur phir canyon ke andar gehra utar gaya.
Aage barhte hue bhi uska zehan uljha hua tha.
“Rurvi iss canyon ke bilkul andar hai… shayad sab theek hi hoga.”
Us ne halka sa sir jhatka aur apni tawajjo mahol par di.
Jab woh underground canyon ke andar aur gehra gaye, achanak Sikandar ki nazar baayein taraf saayon mein chhupi hui kisi cheez par parhi.
Us ne aankhein sikur kar dekha aur dheere dheere qareeb gaya.
Wahan… ek ghufa thi.
“Is cave ke andar chalte hain,”
Sikandar ne sab ko kaha.
Yeh ghufa itni chhupi hui thi ke door se nazar aana mushkil tha.
Yule Moon ke dauran chhupne ke liye yeh jagah bilkul perfect lag rahi thi.
Ghufa ka munh ek ajeeb angle par tha, seedhi nazar se dekhna mushkil.
Upar neeche pathron ka terrain isse aur bhi zyada chhupa raha tha.
Sikandar ke khayal mein… yeh aik behtareen hideout thi.
Karan achanak ruk gaya.
Jab baqi sab ghufa ke andar ja rahe thay, us ne baayein taraf andheray ki taraf dekha.
Uski bhonhein sikur gayin.
Usay wahan se ek manhoos aura mehsoos ho rahi thi.
Achanak… andhera hila.
Karan ghabra kar peechay hata.
“Hello? Koi hai wahan?!”
Us ne zor se awaaz lagayi.
Koi jawab nahi aaya.
Jab woh qadam aage barhane hi wala tha—
“KARAN!!”
Apna naam sun kar Karan ghabra kar ghufa ke andar bhaaga.
“AA RAHA HOON!!”
Us ne cheekh kar kaha.
Karan ko pata bhi nahi chala…
Uske jaane ke baad, wohi andhera phir se hila…
aur phir bilkul khamosh ho gaya.
Jaise kuch hua hi na ho.
Ghufa ke andar…
Sab dheere dheere andar barh rahe thay ke achanak—
“Tum log bilkul bewakoof ho kya?! Torch on karo yaar!”
Suraj ne na-pasandi se kaha.
Poori ghufa gehri tareekhi mein doobi hui thi.
Suraj teen meter se aage kuch bhi nahi dekh pa raha tha.
Sikandar, Adhara aur Karan ne aik dusre ki taraf dekha…
aur phir unhein yaad aaya.
Un teenon ko andheray mein dekhne mein koi masla nahi tha.
Magar Suraj sirf aik Awakened tha
uske paas night vision jaisi koi ability nahi thi.
Woh yeh baat bilkul bhool chuke thay.
Suraj unke paas se aagay nikal gaya aur burburaya,
“Ajeeb log hain… bina roshni ke cave mein aisay ghus rahe hain jaise night-vision goggles pehne ho.”
Us ne apne phone ki flashlight on ki aur group ke aagay chalne laga.
Paanch minute tak chalne ke bawajood…
ghufa ka end nazar nahi aaya.
Sikandar ke chehre par tashweesh aa gayi.
Bahaar se ghufa jitni chhoti aur mehfooz lag rahi thi,
andar se utni hi gehri aur khatarnak thi.
Jitni der woh yahan rahenge,
utni hi mutated janwaron se takraane ka imkaan barhta jayega—
aur yeh sab Yule Moon ke dauran.
Sikandar abhi tak nahi jaanta tha ke Yule Moon ka asal asar kya hota hai.
Achanak Suraj ruk gaya.
Uske samne do raaste thay.
Us ne peeche mur kar Sikandar ko dekha.
“Ab konsa raasta?”
Sikandar ne aagay dekha…
phir uski nazar Karan par tik gayi.
Yahan maujood sab logon mein,
Karan sab se zyada sensitive tha.
“Right jao,”
Karan ne kaha.
Sab ne uski baat maan li.
Chalte hue Adhara ne Karan ke qareeb aakar poocha,
“Tum ne right kyun chuna? Kya tumhein wahan se kuch mehsoos hua?”
Karan ne gardan ke peeche haath rakh kar sharminda sa kaha,
“Bas… gut feeling thi.”
Yeh sun kar Adhara ne aankhein ghoomaein
aur tez chalti hui aage nikal gayi.
Aur paanch minute chalne ke baad…
Aakhirkaar woh ghufa ke end par pohanch gaye.
Suraj ne aagay dekha…
aur uski awaaz hairani se bhar gayi—
“Yeh… yeh kya hai?!”
_ _ _ _
Aaj ke liye itnah hi. I hope ye episode be aap sub ko pasind ahya ho gah.
Yule moon arrived, next episode be isi par base ho gah. Lekan kuch interesting dekhne ko mile gah.
Us ke baad to pir pucho hi mat. Boht kuch hone wala hai.
Target is bar be koi ni.
Next update 29 ko ahye gah.
Target nahi hai to is ka ye matlb nahi ke like hi na karo. Ha agir pasnd nahi ahya to comments kar ke suggestions de sakte ho.
Baki milte hai next episode par bas bane rahiye sath. Tab tak ke liye.
Jab Sikandar apne room ki traf jah raha tha to sub log use ghoor rahe the.
Yeh sab log Sikandar ke saath kaafi friendly thay, is liye us ne bhi flow ke saath chalne ka faisla kiya. Kabhi kabhi is tarah ki situation mein hona itna bura bhi nahi lagta.
Apne room tak pohanch kar, guards ne us ke liye darwaza khol diya.
Room ke andar Ryze aur Karan maujood thay, jinhein Vargas ne Sikandar ki request par yahan rehne ki ijazat de di thi.
Sikandar ne Vargas ko bataya tha ke us par in dono ka qarz hai, aur Vargas ne us baat par yaqeen kar liya.
Wahan chaar personal assistants thay—do butlers aur do maids.
Yeh room asal mein ek aur chaar rooms par mushtamil tha.
Un mein se ek room Adhara aur Sikandar ke liye tha, jab ke doosra room Karan aur Ryze ke liye tha jo zyada tar yahin rehne wale thay.
Baaki do rooms khaali thay.
Sikandar ne apni uniform kholi aur butler ke lene se pehle hi utaar di. Phir woh apne room mein gaya aur king-sized bed par let gaya jo ek rune se imbued tha.
Woh rune kisi bhi letne wale ko relax kar deta tha—bed is ki wajah se garam aur bohat comfortable tha.
Jab woh apne liye ek shelter ki jagah ke baare mein soch raha tha, tab achanak darwaza khula aur ek maid skin-tight uniform mein ek tray par drink le kar andar aayi.
Yeh dekh kar Sikandar ko ajeeb sa mehsoos hua, jaise woh koi badshah ho.
Usay pehle kabhi aisa treatment nahi mila tha, aur ab woh is se kaafi enjoy kar raha tha.
Maid ne tray ko bed ke paas drawer par bohat ehtiyaat se rakha. Lekin jab woh wapas jaane lagi to Sikandar ne usay awaaz di,
“Tum… tumhara naam kya hai?”
“Mera naam Clarice hai. Main aap ki kya madad kar sakti hoon, Sir Sikandar?” maid ne shaista andaaz mein jawab diya.
Sikandar ne sochte hue apni thodi rub ki aur phir poocha,
“Kya tumhein yahan ke qareeb koi underground jagah ka pata hai? University ke andar ya bahar?”
Maid ne kuch dair socha, phir sar hila kar kaha,
“Mujhe aisi kisi jagah ka ilm nahi hai, Sir.”
Jawab milne ke baad Sikandar ne haath hila kar usay jaane ka ishara kiya. Lekin jaise hi woh darwazay ke qareeb pohanchi—
Maid ruk gayi aur boli,
“Mujhe yaad aaya, qareeb hi ek canyon hai. Lekin mujhe nahi pata ke wahan jana abhi allow hai ya nahi.”
Yeh sun kar Sikandar ne maid ka shukriya ada kiya, aur us ke honton ke kone par ek halki si muskurahat aa gayi.
_ _ _
Sikandar apni maid ki baat ki hui canyon dhoondhne ke liye bahar nikalna chahta tha, lekin us se pehle us ne socha ke pehle kuch kha liya jaye.
Sirf do minute chalne ke baad hi jab woh university ke cafeteria ke samne pohncha, to usay ajeeb sa ehsaas hua.
Ochyra University ke dino ko yaad karte hue uske dimagh mein khayal aya,
wahan khanay ki jagah tak pohnchne ke liye kam az kam bees minute chalna parta tha.
Faraday University aur Ochyra University ke size ka farq bilkul wazeh tha.
Cafeteria ke andar qadam rakhte hi Sikandar ne dekha ke laal uniform pehne hue bohat se students baithay hue khana kha rahe hain aur apas mein baat cheet kar rahe hain.
Cafeteria bohat bara tha — har taraf tables aur chairs lagi hui thi.
Cafeteria ke aik side par bara sa glass laga hua tha jahan se football ground ka shandaar manzar nazar aa raha tha.
Aur haan… Awakened log sports bhi khelte hain.
Yeh unki class ka hissa hota hai, kyun ke is se unhein apne elements ko control karna seekhne mein madad milti hai.
Unke kicks mein unke elements shamil hotay hain, jis ki wajah se unke shots bohat zyada taqatwar hotay hain. Isi liye jo ball woh khel rahe hotay hain, woh aam football nahi hoti.
Unki taqatwar kicks ki wajah se poora football ground aik translucent energy barrier se dhaka hua hota hai.
Agar koi normal insan unke shot ki zad mein aa jaye…
to seedha maut hoti.
Haryali se bhare darakhton ke darmiyan students football khel rahe thay, aur yeh manzar cafeteria ke andar se bilkul clear nazar aa raha tha.
Isi dauran Sikandar ka pait zor se bola.
Grrrr!
Us ne idhar udhar dekha aur mukhtalif qisam ke khanay dekhe.
“Awakened High Energy Meal?”
Sikandar ne stall ka board parhte hue socha, jahan bohat se students line mein kharay thay.
Uski dilchaspi barh gayi aur woh bhi line mein lag gaya.
Kuch students ne usay pehchan liya.
“Sikandar, aap seedha aage ja kar order kar sakte ho,” aik larkay ne kaha.
Sikandar ne adab se mana karna chaha…
lekin uska pait dobara bol utha.
Grrrrrr!
Donon hans paray.
“Lagta hai aapka pait aik minute bhi aur bardasht nahi kar sakta,” larki ne mazakia andaaz mein kaha.
Sharmindagi se Sikandar ka chehra laal ho gaya aur woh chup chaap aage chala gaya.
Waisay to usay cafeteria aane ki zarurat nahi thi — uske room mein maids aur butler hamesha khana la dete thay — magar woh bas thora bahar nikalna chahta tha.
Counter par pohnch kar us ne menu dekha…
lekin zyada tar cheezein us ke liye bilkul nayi theen.
Aakhir us ne kaha,
“Aapka signature meal de dein… do portions.”
“Abhi le kar aata hoon, Sir Sikandar,” cook ne muskurate hue kaha.
Sirf do minute mein khana tayar tha.
Jab plate Sikandar ke samne rakhi gayi, to uski aankhein khul gayin.
Khanay ki khushboo itni tez aur gehri thi ke uska muh pani se bhar gaya.
Presentation khaas nahi thi,
magar khushboo lajawab thi.
Plate mein aik steak jaisa gosht tha jiske upar brown sauce thi, side par french fries aur mixed vegetables theen.
Zahir tor par, khana zyada tempting nahi lag raha tha.
Woh khali table par ja kar baith gaya jo window ke paas thi, jahan se football clearly nazar aa raha tha.
Phir us ne khana khana shuru kiya.
Bite!
Fork se gosht ka aik tukra uthate hi jaise hi us ne bite li…
woh hairaan reh gaya.
Texture ne usay hila kar rakh diya.
“Yeh khana to bilkul basic hai… koi khaas taste bhi nahi,”
woh hairani se steak ko dekhta hua sochne laga.
Lekin tabhi—
<Obtained 4,000 EXP>
Sikandar sakht hairaan reh gaya.
Usay achanak 4,000 EXP mil gaye thay… bina kisi ladai, bina kisi training ke.
Usay foran samajh aa gaya.
“Yeh khana…?”
Woh plate ko tajassus se dekhne laga.
Ochyra University mein us ne kabhi aisa khana nahi khaya tha jo EXP deta ho.
Isi dauran do log uske samne aa kar baith gaye.
Sikandar ne dekha — dono chehre uske liye naye thay.
“Hi! Tum Sikandar ho na? Main Lisa hoon, mil kar khushi hui!”
Larki ne purjosh muskurahat ke sath kaha.
Uske chhote bhuray baal kandhon tak aa rahe thay,
white oversized sweater usay gardan se kamar tak dhak rahi thi,
aur uski halki bhuri aankhein bohat chamakdar theen.
Uske sath baitha larka bola,
“Main Jack hoon, hum dono second-year ke students hain.”
Sikandar ne sir thora sa tilt kiya aur seedha poocha,
“Mujhe bully karne aaye ho, senior?”
Jack aur Lisa dono hans paray.
“Bully? Tum to third-year ke top ranker ke barabar bataye ja rahe ho,”
Jack ne gardan khujate hue kaha.
University forum par Sikandar ki taqat ki afwah phail chuki thi.
Faraday University ka har student yeh baat jaanta tha.
Koi bhi pehla banda nahi banna chahta tha jo Sikandar ke haath se pit jaye.
Lisa ne narmi se kaha,
“Hum sirf hello kehne aaye thay… aur agar tumhein bura na lage to hum tumhein university bhi dikha sakte hain.”
Sikandar ne aankhein sikor kar dono ko dekha.
Jack aur Lisa be-ikhtiyar nigaal gaye.
Sikandar ki shaan aur reputation un par dabao daal rahi thi.
“Mujhe pata hai tum dono kuch chahte ho. Seedha bolo,”
Sikandar ne la-parwahi se kaha.
Lisa ne halki si muskurahat ke sath kaha,
“Hum Adhara ke sath spar aur training karna chahte hain.”
Sikandar ne bhonhein utha li.
“Us se khud kyun nahi poochte?”
Jack ne lambi saans li,
“Woh itni asaani se approach nahi hoti.”
“Kya yeh naya environment hai ya woh waqai aisi hi hai?”
Sikandar ne socha.
Woh kursi par peeche jhuk gaya.
“Main Adhara se baat kar lunga… lekin tumhein mere do sawalon ka jawab dena hoga.”
Jack aur Lisa dono ka dil zor se dhadka.
Sikandar ne ungliyan jor kar unki taraf dekha.
Uska andaaz sanjeeda ho gaya.
Phir woh dheere se bola,
“Yeh khana… kis cheez ka bana hai?”
Dono ka munh khula reh gaya.
“Bas? Itni tension isi sawal ke liye?”
Jack ne hairani se kaha.
Lisa hans kar boli,
“Yeh gosht mutated animal ka hota hai.”
Sikandar ki aankhein chamak utheen.
“Isi liye EXP mila…”
Usay Adhara yaad aa gayi, jo pehle mutated animals kha kar strong hui thi.
Agar usay pehle pata hota…
to shayad woh kab ka yeh try kar chuka hota.
“Taste khaas nahi hota, lekin energy zyada deta hai,”
Lisa ne bataya.
Jack ne stall ki taraf ishara kiya.
“Mehnga hota hai, lekin students training ke liye khushi khushi lete hain.”
“Mehnga?!”
Sikandar aik dum khara ho gaya.
“Main ne to abhi tak payment hi nahi ki!”
Woh foran uthne laga, lekin Lisa ne uska haath pakar kar usay wapas bitha diya…
Phir us ne kaha,
“Tum bewakoof ho kya? Tum first-ranker ho, is liye chahe tum jitna bhi khao, tumhara khana university ki taraf se paid hota hai.”
woh dil hi dil mein sochta hai, lekin hairani dheere dheere ek smirk mein badal jati hai.
Takreeban tees minute guzarne ke baad—
Sikandar ki table par plates ke dher lag chuke thay. Plates itni zyada ho chuki thin ke jaise paharon ki qataren bani hui hon. Yeh manzar dekh kar aas paas bethay logon ki aankhein phail jati hain.
Yahan tak ke Lisa aur Jack bhi bilkul stunned ho jate hain.
Masla university ke paison ka nahi tha,
balke woh is baat par hairan thay ke Sikandar itna zyada khana kha sakta hai, jo ke aksar Supernaturals se bhi zyada tha.
“Burp!”
Sikandar pait bhar kar dakar leta hai. Uske chehre par poori tarah se sukoon aur khushi nazar aa rahi hoti hai.
“Sirf khanay se 300,000 Exp mil gayi… agar main roz aise khaa sakoon, to lagbhag 900,000 Exp rozana ho jayegi,”
Sikandar sochta hai, aur is naye raaz par woh bohot khush aur excited mehsoos karta hai.
“Tum ho gaye ho?”
Lisa poochti hai, abhi bhi hairani mein.
Sikandar itminan se sar hila deta hai.
“Ab second question kya tha?”
Lisa kehnay lagti hai.
Itna pait bharnay ke baad Sikandar mushkil se hiltay-dultay khara hota hai, kyun ke zyada harkat karne par lagta hai ke jo kuch bhi us ne khaya hai, sab bahar aa jayega.
Woh apna pait sambhalte hue kehta hai,
“Kya tumhein kisi canyon ke baare mein pata hai jo abhi recently discover hua hai?”
“Canyon? Mujhe parhnay ka shoq nahi, is liye nahi,”
Jack laaparwahi se kehta hai.
Lekin Lisa thori dair sochti hai, phir achanak ungli chatkati hai.
“Oh! Haan! Mujhe yaad aya, yahan ke qareeb ek hidden canyon discover hua tha. Kya hua uska?”
Lisa jawab deti hai,
“Tum university ki website check karo. Sector 3E ki har nayi information sab se pehle wahin milti hai.”
Sikandar dono ka shukriya ada karta hai. Uske dil mein hota hai ke aaj hi us canyon ke baare mein check kare.
“Bura na manna agar main poochon,”
Lisa thori jhijhak ke sath kehti hai,
“Ochyra University mein ek rumor chal raha hai.”
Phir woh aage kehti hai,
“Log kehte hain ke ek rule hai ke campus mein kisi se be panga le lo lekan Sikandar aur Adhara se panga na lo.”
Yeh sunkar Sikandar ke chehre par muskurahat aa jati hai.
“Aisa rule bhi hai? Mujhe nahi pata tha ke log mujhe itni importance de rahe hain,”
woh dil hi dil mein hans leta hai.
“Us rumor ke mutabiq,”
Lisa poochti hai,
“Kya tum hi woh ho jo Adhara ko train karta hai?”
Sikandar kuch lamhon ke liye ruk jata hai. Lisa ki curiosity aur bhi barh jati hai.
Uske chehre par bechaini dekh kar Sikandar halki si hansi hansi.
“Main uska teacher nahi hoon,”
woh kehta hai,
“lekin haan… main ne unhein strong bananay mein thora bohot role zaroor ada kiya hai.”
Yeh suntay hi Lisa aur Jack dono excited ho jate hain.
“Kaise?!”
dono aik sath cheekh uthte hain.
Unki awaaz itni tez hoti hai ke aas paas bethay log unki taraf dekhne lagte hain, jis par dono foran sharminda ho kar wapas baith jate hain.
Phir woh apna bhara hua pait sambhalta hai aur uth khara hota hai. Uska irada hota hai ke canyon ki location isi waqt check kare.
Lekin dono usay rok lete hain.
Sikandar mud kar sawaliya nazar se dekhta hai.
“Toh… kya tum Adhara se keh saktay ho ke woh hamaray sath train kare?”
Jack umeed bhari awaaz mein poochta hai.
“Hum ne tumhara sawal ka jawab de diya,”
Lisa foran kehti hai,
“ab tumhein apna wada poora karna hoga.”
Sikandar thori dair soch kar kehta hai,
“Thik hai, main us se baat kar loon ga.”
Yeh keh kar woh chal deta hai.
Chaltay chaltay, Sikandar peeche se Jack aur Lisa ki khushi bhari cheekhein sun sakta hai, jab woh celebrate kar rahe hotay hain ke Sikandar ne Adhara se baat karne ka wada kar liya hai.

Sector 2B – Wind Sorcerers Guild
Sector 2B mein waqia Wind Sorcerers Guild ka markaz Awakened logon se bhara hua tha. Guild ke andar aur bahar chhote chhote groups mein Awakened chal phir rahe thay, baatein kar rahe thay aur nayi quests ki talash mein thay.
Ye tamam log Wind Sorcerers Guild ka hissa thay, aur zyada tar yahan ek hi wajah se aate thay—
Fame.
Paise Awakened ke liye koi masla nahi hotay. Wo chahen to duniya ke kisi bhi kone se kama sakte hain.
Lekin shohrat ek alag cheez hai.
Har Awakened chahta hai ke uska naam ho, uski pehchan ho, aur uska darja buland ho.
Aur ye sab hasil karne ka sab se behtar tareeqa hota hai—
Guild join karna aur mushkil quests complete karna.
Zahir hai, har Awakened sirf fame ke peeche nahi hota.
Kuch log waqai insaniyat ke liye ladna chahte hain.
Wind Sorcerers Guild ki imarat ek gehri khaai ke darmiyan banayi gayi thi.
Ye dono taraf ki zameen ko jorne wali ek azeem bridge ki tarah kaam karti thi.
Is ke gird kai udti hui imaratein mojood theen.
Un sab mein sab se zyada numaya ek buland imarat thi jo mandir ki shakal mein thi, aur lagta tha jaise wo badalon ko chhoo rahi ho.
Ye tamam cheezein sirf is liye mumkin theen kyun ke:
Ek high-rank Awakened lagataar is system ko maintain kar raha tha
Aur ek everlasting rune jo mana se feed hota tha
In dono ke baghair ye sab namumkin hota.
Sab se buland imarat ke ilawa, ek aur imarat thi jiske upar saaf likha tha—
“Training”
Guild ke Awakened in udti hui imaraton tak wind tunnels ke zariye pohanchte thay.
Bas tunnel ke andar qadam rakhna hota, aur hawa khud unhein manzil tak le jaati.
Training building ke andar is waqt khaasi garmi thi.
Ek middle-aged aadmi hawa mein levitate kar raha tha.
Uski umar ke muqablay mein uska jism bohot muscular tha, aur uske gird hawa ghoom rahi thi jaise wo uska markaz ho.
Sirf ek nazar mein hi pata chal jata ke ye aadmi intehai taqatwar hai.
Takreeban 20 Awakened uske gird kharay thay, bilkul khamosh, poori tawajjo ke saath usay dekh rahe thay.
Achaanak, uske gird jama hone wali hawa be-qaboo ho gayi.
Wo tez ghoomti hui ek tornado ki shakal ikhtiyar karne lagi.
Is hawa ka rang red tha—
Jo saaf sabit karta tha ke ye ek high-ranking wind element hai.
Phir—
Us aadmi ke peechay hawa se bana ek azeem parinda zahir hua.
ROAR!!
Parinday ki dahaar itni khofnaak thi ke qareeb maujood low-rank Awakened par dabao aa gaya.
Us parinday ke chaar par thay jo shaan se phailay huay thay.
Kai Awakened ke paon larkhara gaye.
Lekin bheer mein se teen log bilkul seedhay kharay thay—
Jaise ye mana un par bilkul asar hi nahi kar raha ho.
Agar Sikandar yahan hota, to wo foran pehchan leta ke beech wala shakhs kaun hai—
Wesley Atkins
25 Golden Crest mein se har ek ka apna guild hota hai, jahan wo Awakened ko operate karte hain—
Quests dete hain, panah dete hain, training dete hain.
Ye sab kuch UWO ki nigrani mein hota hai.
Wesley Atkins
Wind Sorcerers Guild ka malik tha.
Wesley us middle-aged aadmi ko ghour se dekh raha tha.
Uski bhonhein sikurn gayeen jab usne tornado ke beech ek ajeeb si disturbance mehsoos ki.
Thori dair baad, hawa aur zyada compress hone lagi.
Parinda aur wo aadmi dono hawa ke pinjray mein phans gaye.
“ARGHH!!”
Aadmi cheekh utha.
Phir—
BOOM!!
Hawa zor se phat gayi.
Zabardast shockwave ne aas paas kharay low-rank Awakened ko door ja phainka.
Wesley aur uske saath kharay do aur aadmiyon ne foran barrier bana kar blast ko rok liya.
Wesley ka chehra ghamgeen ho gaya.
“Ye pehle jaisa hi hai,” uske daayein taraf kharay aadmi ne kaha.
Wo hara libaas pehne huay tha, aur uski aankhon mein ghussa jhalak raha tha.
“Loyd ka element control sab se behtar hai,” baayein taraf kharay tez chehray wale aadmi ne kaha,
“Spellbook ki instructions mein ghalti namumkin hai.”
Wesley ne thori dair socha.
‘Kya usne spellbook ke saath ched-chaad ki?’
Phir usne sar hila diya.
‘Agar wo pioneer hota to spell kaam hi na karta. Spell chal raha hai… magar wo disturbance…’
Usne haath utha kar ishara kiya.
Loyd ko bahar le jaya gaya—
Wo zakhmi ho chuka tha.
Wesley ki secretary qareeb aayi.
“Sir… Ari aur Jim se maloomat hasil karne wali hamari team wipe ho chuki hai.”
Wesley ka chehra sakht ho gaya.
“Unki aakhri location?”
“Suburb, Sir. Wahan enter karte hi contact khatam ho gaya,”
usne E-pad aage barhate huay kaha.
Wesley ne poocha,
“Stevanus ka kya haal hai?”
“Wo abhi tak apni mansion se bahar nahi nikla, lekin kuch dair pehle log uske ghar ke samne jama huay thay… aur phir sab south ki taraf nikal gaye.”
“And Sikandar?”
“Usay aakhri dafa Emham Forest mein dekha gaya tha.
Uske baad ek group usay apne saath le gaya.”
Wesley ki pareshani thori kam hui.
‘Dono ke darmiyan kuch na kuch zaroor chal raha hai…’
.

Sikandar is waqt university ki website scroll kar raha tha,
us canyon ke bare mein maloomat dhoondhte huay.
Aakhirkar usay ek news mil gayi.
Canyon ko chhupa hua kaha gaya tha,
jo haal hi mein discover hua.
Ek raahgeer ke mutabiq,
Galdosa River ke paas achaanak zameen se zor daar cracking sound aayi.
Usay laga jaise zalzala aa gaya ho.
Phir achaanak—
River ke neeche wali zameen phat gayi.
Pani seedha us crack ke andar gir gaya,
aur teen minute tak river ka ek bhi qatra baqi na raha.
Jab sab kuch khatam hua,
to neeche ek intehai gehra canyon mojood tha.
Sikandar ki aankhon mein chamak aa gayi—
Ye sirf ittefaq nahi tha.
Jab sab kuch khatam hua, to wahan se guzarne walay logon ne dekha ke river ke neechay zameen phat chuki thi, aur ek gehri canyon ban chuki thi.
Us aadmi ne foran ye baat FAA tak pohanchai. FAA ne investigation ke baad ek detailed report banai, aur ab wahan bohot se researchers aur experts us jagah ko explore kar rahe thay.
Sikandar university ke web portal par ye sab parh raha tha.
“Tasveer dekh kar lagta hai ke ye jagah humein Yule Moon se bacha sakti hai,” Sikandar ne socha.
Tasveer mein canyon ki deewaron par kai caves nazar aa rahi thin, jo Yule Moon ki roshni se bilkul mehfooz panah faraham kar sakti thin.
Canyon ki jagah confirm karne ke baad, Sikandar ne apni maid Clarice ko bulaya.
“Sir Sikandar, aap ne mujhe bulaya?”
Clarice ne adab se jhuk kar kaha.
Uski nazar zameen par thi, wo Sikandar ki aankhon mein dekhne se katra rahi thi.
Sikandar ne poocha,
“Is sector ka sab se bara authority kaun sambhalta hai?”
Clarice ne pur-sukoon lehjay mein jawab diya,
“Wo Sir Vargas hain. Wo sirf principal hi nahi, balkay is sector mein UWO ke representative bhi hain.”
Ye sun kar Sikandar ne apni thori par haath phaira aur halka sa haath hila diya.
Clarice ne dobara jhuk kar salam kiya aur kamray se nikal gayi, jaate waqt darwaza bhi ahista se band kar diya.
“Vargas shayad mujhe wahan jaane de de… lekin wo buddha mujhe zyada dair khali nahi baithne dega,”
Sikandar ne socha, phir bed par let kar aankhein band kar li.
.
.
.
Agla Din
Agley din Sikandar Vargas ke kamray se karwi shakal ke sath bahar nikla.
Us ne Vargas se Hidden Canyon ghoomne ki ijazat maangi thi, ye keh kar ke usay research mein dilchaspi hai. Vargas ne khushi khushi ijazat de di…
lekin us ke badlay jo shart rakhi, us ne Sikandar ko hila kar rakh diya.
Vargas chahta tha ke Sikandar doosri universities ke top-ranker students ko shikast de.
Wo chahta tha ke Sikandar Faraday University ki taqat aur shohrat sab par zahir kare — sirf university ka naam roshan karne ke liye.
Sikandar ne bohot bargaining ki, lekin aakhirkaar use maan’na pada.
Usay teen mukhtalif universities ke teen top-rankers ko harana tha.
Us ke paas koi aur raasta nahi tha…
Yule Moon qareeb aa raha tha.
Isi wajah se Sikandar ka chehra itna bujha hua tha.
Agar wo aur mashhoor ho gaya, to hasad karne walay log aur barh jayenge.
Usey insaanon ke sath aur conflicts nahi chahiye thay.
Dar ki baat nahi thi…
masla ye tha ke agar baat had se barhi, to usay phir kisi insaan ko qatal karna par sakta tha.
Sikandar bhari dil ke sath apne kamray mein gaya aur dekha ke Adhara bed par leti hui thi.
Wo abhi shower se nikli thi aur bathrobe pehne hui thi.
Adhara ne Sikandar ka chehra dekha aur poocha,
“Kya hua?”
Sikandar bed par seedha gir gaya aur bola,
“Vargas… wo chahta hai ke main doosri universities ke top-rankers ko haraoon, tab ja kar mujhe Hidden Canyon mein jaane dega.”
Adhara ne hairani se poocha,
“Hidden Canyon? Kyun?”
“Agla full moon qareeb hai. Agar hum uski roshni mein aa gaye, to bohot nuqsaan hoga,”
Sikandar ne sust lehjay mein jawab diya.
Adhara ne samajhte hue sar hilaaya, phir chupke se Sikandar ke paas aayi aur use galay laga liya.
“Sirf teen students hain. Tum to ek punch mein hara doge!”
Adhara hansi ke sath boli.
Sikandar ne apna chehra bed mein chhupa liya aur muffled awaaz mein bola,
“Ye bullying kehlati hai… un bachon ka mere samne koi chance nahi.”
Is waqt Sikandar ki taqat itni barh chuki thi ke koi bhi student, chahe third-year ka hi kyun na ho, uska muqabla nahi kar sakta tha.
Aur Vargas ka ye hukam Sikandar ko bechain kar raha tha.
Usey na to zyada attention chahiye thi,
na hi bina kisi faiday ke larai.
Uska asal maqsad sirf taqat hasil karna tha…
taake wo jald se jald Supernatural territory tak pohanch sake.
Lekin ab usay maanna hi tha.
“Aaj raat canyon ke liye tayyari karo. Karan ko bhi saath aane ko kehna,”
Sikandar ne kaha.
Adhara ne sar hilaaya aur kapray badalne chali gayi.
.
.
.
Raat Ka Waqt
Raat ko Sikandar aur Adhara Hidden Canyon ke liye tayyar thay.
Unhon ne bags pack kar liye thay, agar kisi wajah se wahan aik din se zyada rukna par jaye.
Aaj sirf scouting karni thi.
Abhi tak wahan se koi ajeeb cheez samne nahi aayi thi,
lekin khatray ka imkaan phir bhi maujood tha.
System ke mutabiq wahan Diamond Wolf paya jata tha —
ek mutated janwar jo zameen ke neechay rehta hai.
Isi liye Sikandar har qisam ke mutated creatures ke liye tayyar tha.
Packing ke baad wo Karan ko lene nikalay.
Unhon ne Karan ke kamray ka darwaza khatkhataya,
Kamray Ke ander
Karan bed par leta hua tha, uske maathe par garam towel rakha hua tha.
Uske paas Ryze baitha uski dekh bhaal kar raha tha.
“Mujhe jaana hai, Ryze,”
Karan ne be-basi se kaha.
Ryze foran bol utha,
“Nahi! Tum beemar ho! Tumhein bed par rehna hoga!”
Karan , Sikandar—ko awaaz dena chahta tha, lekin Ryze ne use rokh diya.
“Main Sikandar aur Adhara ko bata deta hoon,”
ye keh kar Ryze ne darwaza khol diya.
Sikandar ne Ryze ko dekha aur poocha,
“Karan kahan hai? Usey bahar milne ko kaho.”
Ryze ne ahista se kaha,
“Karan beemar hai.”
Ye sun kar Sikandar aur Adhara dono hairaan ho gaye.
Half-Werewolf ka beemar hona namumkin lagta tha.
Sirf koi bohot hi sakht disease hi Karan ko is haal mein la sakti thi.
Sikandar seedha kamray ke andar chala gaya aur Karan ko bed par leta dekha.
Karan waqai beemar lag raha tha…
lekin wo aankhon hi aankhon mein Sikandar ko ishara kar raha tha ke Ryze ko mana lo.
Adhara ne jhuk kar Ryze se poocha,
“Tumhein kyun lagta hai ke wo beemar hai?”
Ryze ne jawab diya,
“Bas uska haath chhoo kar dekho. Uska jism bohot thanda hai.”
Sikandar ne aage barh kar Karan ka haath pakra…
lekin wo bilkul normal tha.
“Thanda? Ye to bilkul theek hai,”
Sikandar bola.
Ye sun kar Ryze ne bhonay charha liye.
Wo aage barha aur Sikandar ka haath pakar liya.
“Tum bhi beemar ho! Tumhara haath bhi baraf ki tarah thanda hai!”
Phir Ryze ne sheeshe ki taraf ishara kiya,
“Sheesha dekho.”
Sikandar hairani se sheeshe ke paas gaya aur apni shakal dekhi…
Uska chehra bilkul peela pad chuka tha.
“Kya…?
Main itna peela kyun lag raha hoon?!”
_ _ _
“Main itna pheeka kyun lag raha hoon…?”
Sikandar ne hairani se socha jab uski nazar sheeshe mein apni surat par pari.
Uska chehra bilkul be-jaan lag raha tha, jaise khoon hi na ho. Isi waqt Adhara bhi aage barhi aur sheeshe ke samne khari ho gayi. Jaise hi uski nazar apni reflection par pari, uski aankhein phail gayin.
Yeh dekh kar dono sakht shock mein aa gaye.
Iska sirf ek hi jawab ho sakta tha.
“System, mere sath kya ho raha hai?” Sikandar ne foran poocha.
<Yule Moon ki energy hawa mein phail chuki hai. Is wajah se appearance ka badalna bilkul qudrati hai. Lekin Yule Moon ka asal asar abhi shuru hi hua hai>
Yeh parhte hi Sikandar ki bhonhein sakhti se sikarh gayin.
Use bilkul pasand nahi tha jab system baatein chhupata tha. Aisa lag raha tha jaise system jaan boojh kar suspense bana raha ho… jaise use maza aa raha ho ke Sikandar baad mein hairan ho.
“System, Yule Moon ke douran aur kya hoga? Sirf itna ke moonlight Werewolves ko nuksaan pohanchayegi?”
Sikandar ne almost iltija ke andaz mein poocha.
Lekin…
System ne koi jawab nahi diya.
Sikandar ne gehri saans li aur kaha,
“Ryze, tum yahin rukoge. Main, Karan aur Adhara bahar ja rahe hain. Tum bas yahin raho.”
Phir usne Karan ko ishara kiya ke follow kare.
Ryze ka chehra pareshani se bhar gaya. Usay lag raha tha ke yeh teeno theek nahi hain.
“Tum log theek to ho na—”
Lekin uski awaaz andekhi kar di gayi.
Teenon kamray se bahar nikal gaye.
Sikandar ne haath uthaya aur foran ek butler aaya.
“Yaqeeni banao ke Ryze apne kamray mein hi rahe.”
“Butler ne gehri jhuk kar salam kiya aur kamray ke andar chala gaya taake Ryze par nazar rakh sake.”
University ke lobby se guzarte hue, achanak unke peeche se kisi ki maujoodgi mehsoos hui.
Karan ne halki awaaz mein Sikandar ko ahgah kiya.
Aur phir maloom hua ke woh Suraj tha, jo chupke se peeche aa raha tha.
Sikandar ke chehre par halki si mocking muskurahat aa gayi.
Jaise hi woh university ke entrance par pohanche, Suraj ne achanak peeche se cheekh mari,
“WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING?!”
Suraj ko umeed thi ke Sikandar dar jayega…
Lekin aisa kuch nahi hua.
Na Sikandar, na Adhara, na Karan — koi bhi hairan nahi hua.
Suraj ke chehre par disappointment saaf nazar aa rahi thi.
“Hum jaante thay tum peeche ho,” Sikandar ne halki hansi ke sath kaha.
“Tum bhool gaye ke Karan yahan hai?”
Suraj ne apna maatha peet li.
“Damn… main bhool hi gaya tha.”
Kyran ke senses waqai lajawab thay Suraj jaise expert ke liye bhi.
Suraj ki excitement dheemi par gayi.
“Tum log bilkul fun hi nahi ho. Waise… is waqt kahan ja rahe ho?”
“Canyon,” Sikandar ne beparwahi se kaha.
“Saath chalna hai?”
Suraj ne Sikandar ka chehra dekha aur foran frown kar gaya.
“Bro… tum theek ho? Tum bohot zyada pale lag rahe ho.”
“Kuch nahi hua,” Sikandar ne haath hila kar kaha.
“Ab batao, aa rahe ho ya nahi?”
Suraj ne foran sar hila diya.
University mein rukna usay bore kar raha tha, aur Sikandar ke sath rehna hamesha interesting hota tha.
Yun teen log chaar ban gaye.
Jab woh Canyon pohanche, Sikandar ne dekha ke wahan bohot si gaariyan khari hain.
FAA aur UWO ki gaariyan har taraf thi. Safed kapron mein scientists ghoom rahe thay, aur unke darmiyan bohot se Awakened guards mojood thay — jin ki power Rank 3 peak se Rank 6 tak thi.
Yeh Sector 3E tha — research sector, jahan supernatural ke khilaf nayi technologies par kaam ho raha tha.
Canyon sirf 10 miles door tha Faraday University se, aur Suraj ki gaari ki wajah se safar aur bhi asaan ho gaya.
Sikandar canyon ke entrance par pohancha hi tha ke ek police officer ne rok liya.
“Bachon, yahan aana mana hai. Wapas chalay jao,” officer ne kaha.
Sikandar ne bina bole ek safed paper uske hawale kiya.
Officer ne beparwahi se paper dekha…
Aur phir uska rawaiya foran badal gaya.
“Maazrat, sir. Aap ja sakte hain.”
Sikandar ne chalte hue poocha,
“Yahan ka zimmedar kaun hai?”
“Professor Nolan Hildago,” officer ne door ishara kiya.
Professor Nolan aik budde aadmi thay, grey baalon ke sath. Safed coat ke neeche grey suit, seene par organization ka badge aur kamar par bandook.
“Professor Nolan,” Sikandar ne qareeb ja kar kaha.
“Tum kaun ho?” Nolan ne poocha.
“Sikandar Silverstar. Sir Vargas ki taraf se bheja gaya student.”
Yeh sunte hi Nolan ka lehja narm ho gaya.
“Ah… tum wahi ho. Batao, kya maloomat chahiye?”
“Canyon ke baare mein. Ab tak kya mila?”
Nolan ne gehri awaaz mein kaha,
“Hum ne sirf surface explore kiya hai. Yahan aise stones, gems aur plants mile hain jo ek bilkul nayi energy emit karte hain.”
“Caves bohot zyada hain… aur kuch bohot gehri jaati hain.”
Uska dil bechain ho gaya aur qadam aage barhane mein hichkichahat mehsoos hui.
Naam se hi lag raha tha ke yahan rehne wali cheez mamooli nahi hogi… balkay bohat zyada taqatwar.
“Sikandar? Kya hua?”
Adhara ne hairani se poocha.
Sikandar group ke aagay chal raha tha, is tarah achanak ruk jana sab ko pareshan kar gaya.
“Kuch nahi… aage chalte rehte hain,”
Sikandar ne kaha aur phir canyon ke andar gehra utar gaya.
Aage barhte hue bhi uska zehan uljha hua tha.
“Rurvi iss canyon ke bilkul andar hai… shayad sab theek hi hoga.”
Us ne halka sa sir jhatka aur apni tawajjo mahol par di.
Jab woh underground canyon ke andar aur gehra gaye, achanak Sikandar ki nazar baayein taraf saayon mein chhupi hui kisi cheez par parhi.
Us ne aankhein sikur kar dekha aur dheere dheere qareeb gaya.
Wahan… ek ghufa thi.
“Is cave ke andar chalte hain,”
Sikandar ne sab ko kaha.
Yeh ghufa itni chhupi hui thi ke door se nazar aana mushkil tha.
Yule Moon ke dauran chhupne ke liye yeh jagah bilkul perfect lag rahi thi.
Ghufa ka munh ek ajeeb angle par tha, seedhi nazar se dekhna mushkil.
Upar neeche pathron ka terrain isse aur bhi zyada chhupa raha tha.
Sikandar ke khayal mein… yeh aik behtareen hideout thi.
Karan achanak ruk gaya.
Jab baqi sab ghufa ke andar ja rahe thay, us ne baayein taraf andheray ki taraf dekha.
Uski bhonhein sikur gayin.
Usay wahan se ek manhoos aura mehsoos ho rahi thi.
Achanak… andhera hila.
Karan ghabra kar peechay hata.
“Hello? Koi hai wahan?!”
Us ne zor se awaaz lagayi.
Koi jawab nahi aaya.
Jab woh qadam aage barhane hi wala tha—
“KARAN!!”
Apna naam sun kar Karan ghabra kar ghufa ke andar bhaaga.
“AA RAHA HOON!!”
Us ne cheekh kar kaha.
Karan ko pata bhi nahi chala…
Uske jaane ke baad, wohi andhera phir se hila…
aur phir bilkul khamosh ho gaya.
Jaise kuch hua hi na ho.
Ghufa ke andar…
Sab dheere dheere andar barh rahe thay ke achanak—
“Tum log bilkul bewakoof ho kya?! Torch on karo yaar!”
Suraj ne na-pasandi se kaha.
Poori ghufa gehri tareekhi mein doobi hui thi.
Suraj teen meter se aage kuch bhi nahi dekh pa raha tha.
Sikandar, Adhara aur Karan ne aik dusre ki taraf dekha…
aur phir unhein yaad aaya.
Un teenon ko andheray mein dekhne mein koi masla nahi tha.
Magar Suraj sirf aik Awakened tha
uske paas night vision jaisi koi ability nahi thi.
Woh yeh baat bilkul bhool chuke thay.
Suraj unke paas se aagay nikal gaya aur burburaya,
“Ajeeb log hain… bina roshni ke cave mein aisay ghus rahe hain jaise night-vision goggles pehne ho.”
Us ne apne phone ki flashlight on ki aur group ke aagay chalne laga.
Paanch minute tak chalne ke bawajood…
ghufa ka end nazar nahi aaya.
Sikandar ke chehre par tashweesh aa gayi.
Bahaar se ghufa jitni chhoti aur mehfooz lag rahi thi,
andar se utni hi gehri aur khatarnak thi.
Jitni der woh yahan rahenge,
utni hi mutated janwaron se takraane ka imkaan barhta jayega—
aur yeh sab Yule Moon ke dauran.
Sikandar abhi tak nahi jaanta tha ke Yule Moon ka asal asar kya hota hai.
Achanak Suraj ruk gaya.
Uske samne do raaste thay.
Us ne peeche mur kar Sikandar ko dekha.
“Ab konsa raasta?”
Sikandar ne aagay dekha…
phir uski nazar Karan par tik gayi.
Yahan maujood sab logon mein,
Karan sab se zyada sensitive tha.
“Right jao,”
Karan ne kaha.
Sab ne uski baat maan li.
Chalte hue Adhara ne Karan ke qareeb aakar poocha,
“Tum ne right kyun chuna? Kya tumhein wahan se kuch mehsoos hua?”
Karan ne gardan ke peeche haath rakh kar sharminda sa kaha,
“Bas… gut feeling thi.”
Yeh sun kar Adhara ne aankhein ghoomaein
aur tez chalti hui aage nikal gayi.
Aur paanch minute chalne ke baad…
Aakhirkaar woh ghufa ke end par pohanch gaye.
Suraj ne aagay dekha…
aur uski awaaz hairani se bhar gayi—
“Yeh… yeh kya hai?!”
