THE TEARS OF KUMARI KANDAM
CHAPTRE 49

The silent lightning that graced the dry season sky finally broke, along with the wrathful cry of the wandering tribe's deputy leader, Aryesh Farorz. Again Aryesh was late preventing the reckless actions of his leader. The leader, Daxraj Natesh, again changes his age to joke with time.

And what makes Aryesh angry the most is, the look without regret Daxraj who in the end always succeeds in relieving anger of any magnitude. Aryesh dropped his body onto the chair, while taking a deep breath. Along with Aryesh's mood that improved again, the sun reappeared, expelling terrifying mysterious flashes.

Aryesh's wrath begins with Daxraj who for the first time falls unconscious. Daxraj is weakened, due to the age it continues to give to the time. It is known that Daxraj changed his age again to save Haala who was supposed to be returned to the future in accordance with their agreement. But Daxraj reneged on the deal.

" ... So now no matter if Haala's heart wavers, time must not touch her before hearing what answer she will give, so?"

"Yes" Daxraj replied to Aryesh.

"Yes Gods. Hey, are there just complicated things in your head?"

Daxraj. "I'm sorry if what I'm about to say sounds harsh, but I think the nomadic tribe's leader lives to pass on his extraordinary powers. Not to compete in romance" Aryesh added.

Daxraj was silent. "Why did you take the trouble to make Haala love you? Wasn't it obvious there was only His Majesty the King in his heart? Marry Haala, make a successor, inherit your powers, and be done. Easy, right?"

"You're right."

"of course. Look man, you know best what's going to happen in the future. Gaana* is not the only enemy of Kumari Kandam, and Lord Krpaya* will not turn his head if that time comes. So stop taking care of things that are not important. Focus on."

The Gaana* is a sacred soul-eating creature that lives in the Mook Forest.

Krpaya* is the God whom the Kumari Kandam people worship.

"Yes, I'll consider."

"What's? Wh why? Why should we still be considered?" aryesh asked in a half-screaming voice.

"Because I have to keep an eye on that pervert King Kumari Kandam."

"Ah right too. You said Haala was only meant to have two children, right? And if Haala and Bra-, ah I mean His Majesty the King to the point of having children, they'll have twins and it's no different than letting the world perish."

"true."

Aryesh. "Well, it's complicated. I feel like I want to quickly kill Gaana and return everything to its place. Rather than that, you said you killed Gaana in the future but she's still alive, isn't she? Then why don't you hunt him down and kill him again? Why turn back time?"

"Because I can't feel her whereabouts."

"What's? Doesn't that mean he's already managed to devour ten thousand souls?"

Daxraj just nodded. "Dam. Apparently we were fooled all out by that bastard. Then you also said you went to see the future? What's going on?" ask Aryesh again.

"Gaana managed to get her revenge, and a future war broke out without me being able to do anything."

"What?"

"I lost my power after killing Haala. Because she kept protecting Gaana who was possessing her little sister's body."

"Isn't that exactly what's going on right now?"

"No. This time Haala didn't choose to protect anyone."

"So that's why you turn the clock?"

Daxraj nodded. "Because Haala loves her sister so much. Not even Bheim can persuade him. He must be shown firsthand what consequences he will bear if he still chooses to protect his sister."

"So so. I get it."

Daxraj. "But my gut feeling is bad."

Spontaneous Aryesh moves on. "Why? You feel Gaana's back in trouble?"

"That's impossible. No one can break through the portals of the future except the people you want."

"That's right. But has my firast missed even if just a little?"

...¤○●¤○●¤○●¤...

Deep in a sacred forest on the Chamakadaar Continent*, there was a sound of dense grasses that were preoccupied with something. Judging from the shadow reflected by the faint moonlight, a woman was dragging a mound as big as a ship with one hand, while humming cheerfully.

Chamakadaar*one of the eight lost continents including the Kumari Continent of Kandam.

That woman, looking so beautiful that it could make even people who were not dying would think if they were dying. Because of her truly angelic beauty. But when viewed with common sense, her beautiful figure was just a trick from her figure who was actually a creature from hell.

"So that's how you play, Daxraj Natesh," said the nymph, Gaana.

Gaana chuckles, while throwing Namakeen*, Ghinauna*nya Chamakadaar. Gaana then approached Haala's father who was lying covered in blood on the grass. The terrible grin was on the protagonist's face when he saw Haala's father being tickled by death.

Namakeen* a type of Ghinauna that inhabits one of the sacred lakes on the Chamakadaar Continent.

Ghinauna* giant fish guard Lake Baadal.

"You thought about making me fish food but in the end it was fish that became my food. You must not have expected it, right?"

"Huh, shit."

Gaana again chuckled in response to Haala's father. "And you certainly do not know if the soul of the fish is equivalent to seven thousand saint souls" added Gaana.

"Yes. I just heard it today."

"Then? Hurry up and beg for your life." Gaana grinned.

"I'm not that sad."

"It looks like you're very confident that I'll forgive you."

"While true, I'm sorry I didn't take it."

"People who will soon become carcasses are always arrogant. Yeah, enjoy it while you're-"

"So what percentage of your power came back after devouring Namakeen's soul?" sela Haala's.

Gaana crouched down, bringing her face closer to Haala's father. "In addition to being arrogant, apparently the candidates for carcass are also very curious."

"There's no harm in answering, is there? Let's just say it's my last question as your former subordinate."

"You think I'm a moron? After I tell you everything, aren't you going to hang out to meet the leader of that goddamn wandering tribe and report it? I won't let it."

Haala's father chuckled. "Ah, I was found out. Too bad."

"Damn it! Die, Salmalin Josha!"

Gaana's fists missed hitting the grass, because Haala's father, Salmalin Josha, suddenly dodged. Gaana quickly chased after Haala's father, but of course Haala's father had disappeared before Gaana could reach him. Disappeared by making Gaana ruled by wrath.

"You think I'm a moron too? I predicted everything before I met you. Because this body belongs to a Jyostishee*." Haala's father disappeared.

Jyostishee*a future fortune teller who comes from Narak region.

"No! He can't find Daxraj Natesh! Daxraj Natesh can't know if I've recovered and can keep an eye on his every move! Nah! Can't!"
