The looming death

tting the plate and water on the table.

He sits on the table with his mother with a curious expression appearing on his face.

”Mom why we live so far away from the main city ”

Arsh asks while his mouth was full of food.

Samantha glared at him and said in a simple manner

”Its quite and peaceful here ”

”But first why don you tell me about the black eye you got there , you got into fight again? ”

The boy was caught offguard by this. He was sure he washed all of his face and cleared his clothes before entering the house.

”You shouldn fight Arsh, They are just a bunch of kids and today you really did something horrible to them. They have serious injuries because of you ”

Samantha started scolding him in harsh voice.

”It was his fault for calling me bastard ”

Arsh rebutted angrily with tears forming near his eyes.

”He also said horrible things about you, i can stand people like him. He should be thankful i didn killed him ”

”ARSH!! ”

”Voilence is not answer to the problems ”

”It seems to work well enough ”

Arsh said while rolling his eyes.

”Why don you tell me anything about my father. Where is he, Why he left us all alone in this middle of nowhere ”

The mother went silent while her eyes downcasted and it was quite for some time with an awkward tension around both of them.

”You will know when the time come. That is all you need to know right now ”

Samantha said in emotionless voice.

….

After eating the lunch together they made thier way to village chiefs cottage.

”Hey Arsh you have grown again ”

”We literally just met yesterday ”

Arsh said in annoyed voice.

”Can you step out of cottage for some time there is somethings i need to talk about with samantha ”

Arsh left the house and started wandering around the village he saw Edward talking to a girl. While being genuinely curious he started making his way towards them.

”Hey Arsh what are you doing here? ”

The girl started leaving as soon as Arsh appeared there.

”Girlfriend? ”

Arsh said while raising a brow.

”Kid you shouldn be poking your nose where it doesn belong and i already have someone i admire ”

Edward glared at Arsh and started moving deep into the forest.

”Well i don have anything better to do so lets eavesdrop on our most fearsome village chief ”

Arsh started retreating back to the old cottage.

He climbed a tree near the balcony and moved closer to the room where they were talking.

”You know you can protect him Samantha ”

The village chief said in a low voice.

”I don care about that i alone am strong enough to kill any person who will stand in my way ”

”I don care if they are mythical beings or whatever ”

Samantha replied with full composure.

”Ask for forgiveness Samantha and they might let you live with your life ”

”I think we are done here chief. Don call me again if we are going to have the same conversation again ”

Samantha rushed out of the door and started moving towards the house.

”So how much you listen? ”

Arsh was startled by the sudden voice just above him.

”Who were you talking about? ”

Arsh asked with a grim expression.

”You don need to know child. Remember there will come a time when you will be presented with everything. You have to choose the path your mother always tried to open for you. The choice will be yours, remember you mean everything to samantha so don take it all the love she given you for granted ”

The village chief mysteriously said.

”Remember everything in this world is made for the sole purpose of praying to the gods ”

”If we went against thier will they won sit still, i think you already know about them and thier embelems ”

Arsh nodded . He really knew most of things there is to know about gods and mystical beings.

”It is for the better ”

”Now Go we don have much time left ”

The chief said hurriedly.

Arsh started rushing toward his house with his every thought in a spiral.

He had questions, several questions about what they were talking about and he knew it was about the time he got some real answer from his mother.

”It all sounds really Ominous ”
