A Slave Who Became Emperor - 117 True treasure

Shameen went into a state of penance..her mind was clear..her soul could now be projected to wherever she wished…her soul moved across the Hindu Kush mountains..it reached the Sindhu river basin.. slowly moved towards Hindustan..

Soon it went into a deep forest..there was a huge cave..she entered the Takshaka tribe territory.. and entered into the small enclosure where the sorcerer sat cross legged..

Beside the sorcerer was Raj guru..the sorcerer had a bright blue halo around his head while Raj guru had a blinding white halo around his head..they looked like deities..

Shameen’s soul was pitch black..Raj guru seemed to sense her presence.. without opening his eyes he said ,’ you are here again..’ she said,’ yes.’ he said,’ you are stronger..’ she said,’ so are you and the sorcerer..’he smiled and said, ‘ it is not here..’ she said,’I know.. where is it?’ he said,’ why do you need to ask? project your soul like you did now and search..’ she said,’ you know that I can’t keep looking in every nook and corner till I find it and Hindustan is huge..’ he said,’ what makes you think it’s still in Hindustan?’ she said, ‘ there was no cross border moment detected by the spies of Shah.. except for the small group you sent with Zaffar..’ he said,’ good.. keep looking..’ she let out a frustrated gasp and said, ‘alright..but why don’t you use it to increase your power? why do you keep it in hiding wherever it is..?’ he laughed and said,’ I know that once I get it out, you will know.. and you will not rest till you get your hands on it..it will come out eventually ..but not yet.. and you are not strong enough to over power my soul..the soul attack you made last time pushed me hard..I worked hard to recover..post recovery, I came here and got a major breakthrough in my level.. I know I alone can’t stop you, so I helped my friend ..the sorcerer to advance in his spiritual prowess..now it’s tough for you to stop our advances.. and I know that you sacrificed many lives to get where you are.. but blood spill will no longer help you..’

The conversation was flowing naturally..they didn’t have any fear towards each other.. it was as if they were discussing weather..

Shameen said,’ alright then I will continue searching ‘ and withdrew her soul..

Raj guru nodded..he searched the entire territory and knew that Shameen withdrew..the sorcerer opened his eyes, Raj guru faced him with a smile.. ‘ where is it now?’ asked the sorcerer..Raj guru said, ‘ not yet.. I will tell you once the time comes ..’ he nodded..both closed their eyes and went into penance.. again…
