The very next day after departing the treehouse village .

At a random village,current time 6.a.m

As sushil went to village at late night, he was unable to wake up at right time (5 am).

He left the military house also known as army house.

The two guards were talking to an old man, around the age of 65-70 .

Those three saw sushil and greeted him.

Guard 1 : This man right beside me is the chief/head of the village.

Sushil said, "Nice to meet you, chief, I'm the member of research division of army, I was going to the far north to research something, I would now like time take my leave.

Chief said, " You can live here for as much as you want."

If you are going towards north, than please visit the village which is towards the north, it is from distance of 2&3 days by walking.

Sushil said, "Thanks, I would definitely go to it ".

The village chief arranged breakfast for the sushil . Sushil checked his belonging and left the village after eating the breakfast.

After walking for almost 3 hours, he heard a scream of girl coming from the front direction

He quickly grabbed his sword and went to see what lies ahead of him.

He went fast without making much noise.

He saw that some girls and men were attacked by a cat looking monster . He saw that two of them died , one was men while one was woman.

He was about to help the people, but heard some noise of armour, he saw a woman with blonde hair and a sword.

The woman first gathered the attention of monster and that monster went to attack that woman.

At that time sushil checked the level of that woman, her level was 15.

While the monster went to attack her, she quickly grabbed her swords and close the distance between them, and quickly went straight to his head and slashed the head.

The people were crying tears of joy. They thanked that woman .

That women told the people that she is going to the same place.

Sushil thought that it would only make situation more complicated so he decided to not do anything.

Sushil stayed hidden until all of them left.

They after that he left that place.

Sushil had some lunch prepared for him before hand and had a lunch at good place, first day ended he didn't reach his destination.

For the second day, he decided to travel faster to reach his destination ahead of time.

He hunted down some boar and ate it.

Finally the night came, sushil saw the village .

He went straight to the guards and showed his badge which contain swords and shield, this village was a lot bigger than the last village.

Sushil entered the village, it was night time, so he can't to much, so he asked the guards to show him the army house.

The guard did as he asked them to, they guided him towards his destination.

At the next morning, sushil wake up and ate the breakfast which was on the table near his bed.

While having breakfast he heard many noise, but neglect it.

After eating breakfast, he went outside to see what is happening in the village.

The people were making preparation for the festival, which was going to begin after 2 hours.

The guard said sushil that you can have bath at the back of the house, as there was both toilet and bathroom, and the water was in bucket.

After having bath and running and hunting, finally two hours passed.

The village became crowded, it looked like many more people from other village also came only for this festival.

Sushil heard a familiar voice that voice of non other than the Chief of last village.

Sushil greeted chief, and so did chief.

Sushil said, "You could have said you were coming too"

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

"It would be easier of us to travel "

Chief said, "I was going to, but you went more early than predicted"

"While we are at this festival, I would show you around "

Sushil said, "Thank you "

Those two now were seeing the festival.

There were many stalls, people were selling many clothes and other things.

Sushil bought a pair of black cloak, with a mask covering the whole mouth, there were some design of dragon and tiger in that mask.

He thought that it would come in handy.

At the moon, the whole village was moving towards the temple located in the middle of village.

After that the festival ended.

Sushil and Chief were in the army house.

Sushil said, "so, what was this all festival about "

Chief, "it's a long story, I hope that you would listen it peacefully , while not disturbing me"

Chief started the story

"It was approximately 1500 years ago "

"The world was in crisis"

"Hatred was in its prime"

"Not a single country would consider each other friends, companion or business partner.

At last the war broke .

Many people died, many places were destroyed, the life of normal people became hell.

It looked like the world was coming to an end.

But, it was not the end, a man came forward, he defeated every single country which caused the war and killed every king and royalties of the whole world

The war ended, many lives were lost, this festival is to pray the soul of those who lost there lives in that war..

Though only our area follows that custom.

Sushil said, "so, that the case"

"If, he killed every royalties then, what rule today, who are they"

"And what about that man who stopped the war"

Chief said, "No one knows who he was or where he came from, but there was one thing every one knew "

"He said, the following sentence while leaving "

You are disturbing my Lord, if you did this again, if he woke up he would destroy the entire world.

Sushil in his mind, "maybe the person, who this man said, was someone related to raskh or maybe he was the raskh itself"

Sushil said, "Thanks for giving me precious information"

Chief said, "But, the story doesn't end here"

"You asked who this royalties are ruling country, there ancestors were commoner but they gain more magical power and became powerful, even though, they are very powerful, but even if all humans of today evn fought the weakest royalty of that time, than we would have lost with few hours"

Sushil said, "Were they that powerful"

Chief said, "Yes, they were indeed"

"But all this war was caused by a single queen, she was a wicked woman, because of her greed, lust she led the world towards the destruction"

"That man cursed that wicked queen , and made her immortal but even if she became immortal his second cursed destroyed her"

"According to that curse, that wicked queen became the prostitute until the end of world and will have regret until the end , no one would love her, she started the war, she would just be a toy for playing in the bed, that was the curse left by that man "

Sushil learnt about important even of history through eri, but she didn't mention about it either.

Sushil said, "so, why don't the whole world know about it "

Chief said, "Everyone thinks that, this is just a story "

"Even if we tell them, they just make fun of us"

"The area from now onwards is the most historical area, there are many caves and other things near it, but no one can enter it, without the permission"

Sushil thanked the chief for giving him important information if it was real.

Chief said, "By the way, even though there are many caves here ,but there's a problem"

Sushil said, "What problem? "

Chief said, "To reach the caves you would have to travel from mountains, te caves are surrounded by mountain, first it was not much difficult to enter it, but it has now became impossible "

"From last 10 years, there's a heavy rain of snows, there "

"There should not be any snow in its region, but it's snows at that mountain from last 15 years "

"Many people tried to enter it but no one came back "

" Even my son went in the mountains 14 years ago, but never came back "

"I would advice you, to not go there even though you are in army "

"Many higher ups of army tried to go there but no one came back "

Sushil had many doubts in this matter, sushil said thanked to chief and went towards army house.

I(Sushil )thought that it would be interesting there, so I Decided to visit it next day.

It was evening already , I decide ho have a look at village, as I was getting bored by sitting at one place.

All the decoration and other things were removed, I already kept my cloak and full face mask in my bag, which I was carrying.

While roaming in the village, I saw some men training, with swords and other weapons, and the woman I saw earlier was teaching them , how to do it.

After watching there training for some time, they invited me, they asked who I'm, and after knowing about me, they asked me, to have a little spar with them.

The woman name (Shia) was actually a young lady around of my age, she decided to take army training camp, and was going to participate next year in that camp.

I and shia had a spar with swords, I took my sword she took her and she decided to attack first, I blocked it, she attacked again, I blocked again.

She took a few step back and then quickly attacked faster and faster each turn, I was on the edge now, if I didn't attack now, she would most probably defeat me.

I went serious and attacked her, she was not able to block my attack.

I was actually shocked that how she is 13 level .

I remembered that laz told me that skills are more important than level as skills will defeat opponent even higher level than yours.

Honestly if I was lower than level 20 , I would be defeated, looks like my level helped me to gain a momentum, but I realised that, if she was even a level more than she, she would have defeated me very easily.

Later, we had a little chat,where I get to know that her father is an important figure in army, and trained her , starting from the age of 12 .

I was in a state of little shocked as it would be more dangerous to get further involve with the daughter of army higher ups.

I knew at that moment, even though I learned from eri, she was not much of a great coach, she helped me learn basic,, but still I was weak at swords, I knew that for winning at raskh I need to become more powerful and master swords.

Apparently all those who were training were at the age of 15-16 . Leaving shia

Everyone left, than a boy came towards me and asked whether, I would like to join dinner at his house, he was the sun of this village chief so I decided to pay a visit to him too.

While having dinner we had many discussion among them one was why army send me to such a place.

I informed them, that the main reason why I came here, was to check, the mountains where their is a heavy rainfall of snow.

They told me that it would be dangerous to go there, but it was an important place, where I could get my hands on some valuable information, as I learned how to read the language of this world in the last 6 months.

They knew that I wouldn't stop now so they decided to let me go.

While having other discussion I got to know , that here are some good doctor available.

Though the world was behind than ours in the field of science, but there medicine were almost many centuries ahead of us.

They could almost save many person if the person , has come to there place, before dying.

I decided to visit the mount the very next day.
