SAKYA PARAKA: THE LIBERATOR

The 'Forgetable' Nest Part 1

There was a scream of pain before the creature was still motionless. Screams echoed around the hallway, not long after that another scream sounded as if it was reprimanding. Similar creatures began to arrive. Approaching quickly. This time 3.

Sakya gets ready with a fighting position. When the creatures arrived, his sword swung rapidly killing the three creatures.

THE SKREEET!

There was the scream of death again. Sakya begins to think that maybe it is not a scream of pain but a call for help. His estimation was correct, another shriek sounded. He could sense some of the creatures were starting to come closer.5 tails, Sakya thought.

This time Sakya did not wait for them to come. He immediately darted away towards the creatures. The reason was simple, he did not want their corpses to pile up blocking the passageway of the mine.

When they met, screams began to be heard again. Sakya did not care, she swung her sword without stopping running. When one group starts coming again, “Agni Ardhachandra.(1)” Fire out of Sakya's hands instantly engulfed the newly arrived entourage.

The same thing happened constantly, Sakya thought there would be endless battles in the 2-meter-wide passageway, but this time he did not feel any creatures coming again. Sakya stopped running to take a breath. He returned towards the body of the dead creature. He needed to know what kind of creature was attacking him.

He lit a fire with his hands. Now it is clear that there is a torch bar at the edge of the cave, Sakya picks it up and lights it. The creature lying dead is now clearly visible. Sakya's forehead frowned at the creature that was in front of him.

These creatures living in the soil do not have worm-like eyes. While the body is like a caterpillar, a little fat in the middle. Sharp thorns surrounded his upper body like thorns on a rose stem. The most scary part is the mouth where there are a series of sharp teeth.

It is not surprising that the creature is referred to as ‘the forgotten’. There was never a record of them. Sakya hits the body of the creature and deduces that it has the power to match the level of praboditha. Strangely they have no csidra.

There were at least two reasons Sakya could think of right now. First there were beings who had strength equivalent to the chess level of praboditha or even stronger. The second is probably because they are too numerous. Whatever the reason, he had to go deeper into the mine to find out the answer.

Torchlight illuminates the mine passageway. The walls of the hallway are now starting to look more clearly. Seen some flickering stones reflecting torch light. Gemstone, murmured Sakya. There are still remains of gemstones in this mine despite its small size. Sakya hopes to get inside there is a larger size. The gemstone he needed for his plan ahead.

Slowly, Sakya continued her journey cautiously getting into the mine. The silence again enveloped the passage of the old gemstone mine.

Sakya's estimate is correct. The deeper into the mine ‘the forgotten’ the stronger. Now those who come have the power of dwi praboditha. Stronger, faster and bigger.

Sakya chose to throw a fire arrow instead of swinging her sword. They seem to be more vulnerable to fire. Smoke billowed from the carcasses that began to blacken. Reducing the size of their bodies which were originally 1 m wide and 2 m long by half because of wrinkling. Sakya no longer needs to worry about the road back covered in carrion.
