Chapter: Chapter 33I had an idea that these savage tribes must drink blood of animals. I had heard some rumors about those tribes existing somewhere on the planet, but I did not know I would encounter them one day. My father used to tell me those stories of savage people who drink animal blood and eat human flesh. And also, they ate male organs as snacks. My father did not say it specifically, I just guessed from their behavior. "Aw, hell no. I am not going to drink this sh*t." "Hulle hula hulle hullu," the tribal man gestured me to drink the thing. I had no choice but to drink it. I wondered if they would give me water if I denied to drink it. "Fine." I took up the horn and gulped it all down in one go. "Wow." To my surprise, it did not turn out to be blood of some animal as I thought it to be. It had a bitter-sweet taste, just like some berries you find in my land. "What is it made of?" I wondered. "It is made of blood berries found on this island only," said the tribal old man, upon entering th

Chapter: Chapter 32"Hey, I feel there are people around here," Govind said to Ghosavasu. "There must be those tribal people moving around," Ghosvasu said. "Stay low and silent. Do not reveal your location." The two were heading towards the location they had heard the howling from. However, they knew they could not afford to be seen. "Hey, old man, how would we fight them?" Govind asked as he grabbed the arm of the old man in fear. "Have you thought of a way?" Ghosavasu side-eyed at him. "Why would we fight them? We just have to sneak in, save our companions, and escape." "Ah, right." "Our destination is not this island, but somewhere far beyond it," the old man added. "But how would we do that?" wondered Govind. "About that," Ghosavasu smirked. "I do not know." "What?" Govind raised a brow. "I thought you had already planned a way to get in." "Calm down, young lad. I have never been to their place before. How would I know its layout, the number of people there, and the positioning of guards? I

Chapter: Chapter 31"Where are you taking me?" I shouted when they carried me somewhere. I looked at the masked old man. "What is going to happen to me?" He remained silent and just stood there with his hands behind his back. "Hey, do not stay shut. At least, tell me my fate so that I can be prepared for it." He still stood there silently and watched the gorilla carry me away on his shoulder. I only hoped for Govind and Ghosavasu to save me somehow. I did not know how they would do that, but I had trust in them. I knew they could find some way. Somewhere back in my mind, I worried about Govind. I wondered if he was alright. Last time I had seen him, he behaved strangely. The gorilla dropped me on an elevated wooden platform. "Owe, that hurts!" This son of a bi*ch. He threw me like a rice bag. I moved my head and saw the masked men had gathered around the platform. They again stomped their feet and howled. "Aauuu! Aaaauuu!" "What the hell is happening?" I said. "What are they trying to do with me?" The

Chapter: Chapter 30"How do you know about that mythical creature?" Govind asked, walking deep into the woods. Ghosavasu answered, "I had heard it in mythical stories during my early days. I was once in a country of merchants, and this story of a traveller was particularly popular there." His eyes scanned for dangers lurking around. "What story?" wondered Govind. "I can not remember the details, but from what I can gather there was a traveller a long time ago who was robbed by pirates and was thrown off board into the sea. He ended up on an island and was bitten by a snake, unfortunately. He was on the verge of dying, but he ate a golden-striped pig he found there and miraculously recovered. He somehow built a boat and found a way to his home," Ghosavasu told. Govind was astonished by this story. "So, this story might be true." "It might be, but we do not know yet." "I wonder if we could steal one or two of them and sell them for fortunes," Govind muttered. "We should find your friends first," Ghos

Chapter: Chapter 29Ghosavasu was in a dilemma whether he should take the boys with him and escape, but he was not in the condition to carry anyone. The masked tribal people were climbing the ship, so he had no choice but to flee. "I will come back for you, young men. Just hang in there, and do not give in," he said and jumped into the sea. "Hullu hulle hulle hulloo..." one of the tribal heard something drop into the sea when they climbed the deck. They checked and found no one. Just some minute disturbance in the water. "Hullee hullu hullee," one of them ordered the other to carry the tied sleeping men with them they found on the deck. They checked their breath and pulse to confirm if they were alive and then carried them with themselves. Ghosavasu swam to the other side of the island to not get spotted by those weird masked men. He panted while lying down on the sand. "What the hell just happened? How am I supposed to explain this to Arsh and Govind?" Something bolted his mind. "Wait, are they even

Chapter: Chapter 28"Huh? Where am I?" It was an unusual place I found myself in. Not that the place I was earlier was my daily walk, but I found myself laying on top of an endless water surface. I observed the water was as clear as a crystal as I could see strange fishes underneath me. "What is this place?" I wondered. "You must think what this place is," I heard a voice behind his back. It was the same old man's voice I had heard multiple times earlier inside his head. I turned and discovered a silhouette at a distance. "This place is the mental realm. A different dimension," said the old man. "A different dimension? What am I doing here?" I could not understand how I reached this weird place. What more I could not understand was why this old dude was not showing me his face. "You are not physically present here. I just brought your consciousness in this realm," the old man paused as he realized he made a mistake. "Ah, no. I moved this realm into your head, basically." It was hard for me to unders
