Chapter 225

Nobodies POV:

Half an hour has passed since Hiccup destroyed the dam that held back the life-giving waters of the Ganges river and since then the royal army had come, led by Toothless to capture the cruel cultists and to collect Hiccup. The area where the servants of Kali had quickly been overrun by the men who served the rajah but there was not that much for them to do because all the followers had already been dealt with. They'd even been tied up and gagged by Hiccups ninja who had been staring at the now rushing river with their heads bowed down in respect for the master that they feared they had lost but could feel was still alive. Toothless walked up to them and looked at the water before turning to them and letting out a croon but all he got was a gentle pat on the head from Wind. As Ishir's forces loaded the servants of Kali onto the horse drawn wagons they'd brought with them, they could all only wonder what happened here and what happened to Hiccup Haddock.

Hiccups POV:

I groaned as I opened my eyes to find myself lying down on the grass of a large jungle clearing and looked around to see nobody present other than me until my eyes landed on a giant stone alter with a single figure that had a torch bowl on either side sitting on a large cushion. When I looked up at the figure I immediately dropped down in a bow, recognizing them as the god Shiva who is said to be the destroyer of evil and is also the one who I know created the gems that held the magic to bring life to the land and helped me beat Sahil. Shiva smiled down at me and said.

"There is no need for that or the fear you feel right now Hiccup Haddock after what you have done for my land." I slowly stood up and said.

"I am honored to be in your presence great one, but does this mean I'm dead?" Shiva chuckled.

"No, you are very much alive." He then frowned. "Hunar however, is now in the capable hands of Kali who is ensuring both him and his followers are paying for their crimes in her name." I nodded.

"So, if I'm not dead than what's happening because I remember that large river of water hitting me?"

"Right now, your body is still back on earth being looked after by one of my worshippers who I sent to collect your body from the flowing river before any major damage could be done to it." I nodded. "As for why you are here." He smiled. "I figured you had been on enough adventures to figure it out for yourself." I raised an eyebrow before snapping my fingers in realization.

"To be thanked for my services to this land."

"And to be rewarded for all you have done with not just the servants of Kali but also with what you did for prince Sanjay." I raised an eyebrow.

"You mean how I saved him from the Servants of Kali?" Shiva shook his head.

"What you did for him is open his eyes and allow him to see who he truly was and who he would become if he did not straighten up as they say." Shiva then smiled. "Because of this he shall mature and grow into a leader who shall be able to help his land flourish into a truly glorious place for people to call their home." I smiled hearing that Sanjay was going to grow up a bit.

"Glad to hear he's going to grow into the leader his father always believed he could be." He smiled and nodded.

"Now onto the gifts." He clapped his hands before the smoke from the torches slowly came down and swirled in front of me, forming something and then dissipating to reveal a long length of rope that was rolled up on the ground. "This rope may not look like much but I can assure you that it is not as it seems, but its powers are something you shall have to discover for yourself." I smiled.

"That makes the gifts more fun for me." Shiva smiled as the smoke came down again and took form before dissipating to reveal small sculpture about the size of my head that looked like flowing water going up in a spiral shape and ending with a small split at the end but the water looked as if it were constantly flowing.

"This sculpture is made with water of the Ganges that I myself have enchanted to give healing capabilities so wounds may easily be tended to."

I smiled knowing this might help my wives calm down a bit when it comes to me and Brant getting hurt during our training sessions before the smoke came down again forming two rings before it dissipated to reveal two new chakram. These chakram had silver outer bodies that made up the blades and gold lining the insides and the silver blades had curved, wind like patterns carved onto them. I had to say they were impressive pieces as Shiva said.

"These rings, like the other weapons gifted to you by the gods have powers that shall aid you in battle, but they are not the only weapon I shall bestow upon you today." The smoke came down again and took form before dissipating and revealing a folded-up red war scarf commonly used by the soldiers in the Indian desert in case of sandstorms. "This scarf has multiple abilities for bot offence but also defense but you will have to learn what they are for yourself." I smiled as I said.

"And with its coloring, it'll really make my eyes pop." Shiva chuckled as the smoke once again gathered and took form as he said.

"I understand you had a few issues on your trip when one of the Servants of Kali tried to sneak into your room to do away with you." I nodded.

"That's one of the many reasons I sleep with one eye open."

"Well hopefully these will help you sleep a little easier and are also something that snake guardian you call your wife will like." The smoke dissipated to reveal a small pile of rolled up tapestries. "What they do is something you will need to find out for yourself but I do recommend hanging them by your bedroom doors." I nodded as the smoke came down again andthen formed a small puff. "I believe this will be a nice addition to your island." The smoke dissipated to reveal a new island piece that was green and yellow in color before the smoke slowly flowed towards me. "And now for you to receive the blessing of the gods of this land." The smoke flowed into my prosthetic and I grit my teeth in pain as a new symbol wrapped around my arm and when the pain stopped, I let out a sigh of relief.

"And it is now with these gifts, I send you back to your body in the mortal world."

There was a bright flash blinding me and then I let out a gasp as I reopened my eyes and found myself staring at the ceiling of a cave with the sound of a pipe being played. The sound of a pipe being played came to an end before a voice said.

"I see you have awakened from your slumber young man." I slowly sat up and looked to see a thin old man with a long beard, wearing dirty white pants, no shirt, an old white turban and a snake charmers' pipe in his hand with a basket in front of him but what caught my attention the most was how he was sitting on a bed of nails. "Praise Shiva that he told me where I could find you." I slowly sat up.

"You found me?" The man who I'm guessing was a Fakir nodded.

"When I did, you were lying unconscious on the side of the river that I am glad to see is rushing with life once more." He stroked his beard. "I assume you are the one my people have to thank for that." I nodded.

"I was able to destroy the dam that the Servants of Kali had set up to block the river and make it seem like the gods were angry."

"Well I am truly grateful for this deed of yours."

"And I'm grateful you took me in when I was unconscious mr-" I raised an eyebrow realizing I hadn't gotten his name before he gestured to himself.

"My name is Kiaan, Hiccup Haddock." I raised an eyebrow.

"You know my name?" He nodded.

"Shiva told me when I was sent to collect you, but I was not expecting such strange things to appear around you while you were resting in my humble home." I looked around and saw the gifts I was given, sitting around me before I sighed and ran a hand through my hair.

"They're my rewards for all I've done in this land but what they do I have no idea, but I look forward to finding out." It was then a thought struck me and I turned to Kiaan but before I could say anything he said.

"You have only been out for a few hours so do not worry." I let out a sigh of relief.

"At least it wasn't a few days this time, but I still need to get back to the city." I tried to stand up, but I immediately fell back down grasping my leg in pain and looked down to see my upper right leg had been bandaged.

"You might want to give that leg of yours time to heal first my friend." He then pulled out a familiar dagger. "When I found you, this was lodged into your leg." I slapped my forehead.

"I forgot about that." Kiaan patted my shoulder.

"To be fair, you did just get tossed about in the water for a bit and I wouldn't be surprised if you hit your head along the way." I chuckled and looked around at the gifts before I looked at the water statue and shrugged.

"Might as well give it a try." Picked up the sculpture and examined it. "Wish these things came with a book on how to use them."

Before I could do anything though, sculpture began flowing out of out of my hand and around my arm, making its way around my body until it came to my wound. It came to hold still on top of my wound before the pain on my leg slowly disappeared and then the water flowed back into my hand and returned to its original form. When this happened, I took the bandages off and saw my wound had been completely healed and smiled as I stood up and looked at the statue as I said.

"Well that's going to come in handy during the training sessions I have with my son." Kiaan asked.

"You have a son?" I nodded.

"And a little girl, both adopted but I love them as if they were my own as do my wives if the glares, they give me whenever our boy comes out of training with a few bruises is anything to go by." He chuckled.

"There are few things that can measure up in intimidation than a protective mother's anger at someone for hurting their young." I chuckled and nodded.

"That is something that could not be truer." He chuckled. "Well I better get my stuff together before heading back to the city to make sure everything is alright." I slowly stood up and gathered my belongings into my spiderpack, including the dagger that I was stabbed with and bowed to Kiaan. "Thank you for caring for me while I was unconscious." He just bowed back with a smile.

"It was my pleasure Hiccup and I wish you luck on your future adventures and if you wish to get back to the city, all you have to do is follow the river." I nodded in thanks and made my way out of the cave.

Nightfall

I ended up spending my entire afternoon following the river towards the city and didn't make it back till a few minutes ago and immediately made my way towards the palace after stopping by the part of the river where people bathed. I admit it was nice to see people washing off all the muck that they'd spread onto their bodies when the river had been dried up thanks to the dam. As soon as I got back to the palace, I was barely able to give a salute to the guards at the entrance before I was led straight to the throne room but the second the doors opened I was pushed back, pinned to the ground and covered in slobber by Toothless.

Once I was able to get him off me, Ishir welcomed me back to the city alongside Advika before they both asked me what in the world happened to me since when the soldiers arrived, I was gone. When they asked this, I brought out my golden spider and showed them everything up to the point I woke up in Kiaan's cave and the talk I had with him. This leads to now, with me finishing off a question and answer session with Kiaan smiling and nodding before he said.

"This proves to me that the gods are watching over you my friend." I nodded.

"I just wish they'd allow me one trip to a new land where I don't get roped into some big adventure where I have to go up against some dark force before I'm able to enjoy a little peace." Both he and Advika chuckled.

"Well I cannot deny that I am curious to know what these gifts from the gods I believe it best for you to get some rest my friend." I bowed to him with a smile.

"As the rajah commands." He chuckled before I lead Toothless out of the room so we could get some rest.

5 days later

It's been five days since I met Shiva who gifted me with items to help me in my future journeys and after spending the past five days testing them out, finding their capabilities, learning how to control them and of course, figuring out where I could use them. The water statue was easy since I already knew what it was capable of doing with it flowing around my body, searching for wounds and healing them but when I wanted it to heal another person, I'd have to have my hand on the person to form a bridge for the water. I'd already used it on a few of the injured and sick citizens and there were a lot of sick and hurt people thanks to their bathing in the dried-up lake with a few bones in the water that cut them a bit.

Then there's the rope that at first, I didn't think of much since it looked like a normal rope with a golden ring on each end but then as expected, it was not an ordinary rope. To begin with I learnt it could either extend till it was sixty feet long or shrink down to the point that I can use it as a bracelet for my wrist. Along with this it had a similar ability to my bandage bands meaning I could let it loose and control it like the bandages to tie up my enemies but I figured I could use it as shackles between those I capture. Along with this I learnt it could rise up and become solid so I'd be able to use it to climb up to places including enemy fortress walls without alerting enemies and this would be the main thing I'd be using it for since it was quieter than my hook and could help evacuate prisoners.

Then there are the tapestries which I learnt on the first night were traps for people who intended to come into my bedroom while I was sleeping. These tapestries had framing with it going in gold, red, gold and ending in red before the patterned part that has a single stripe going down the middle with gold and blue patterns on it. The way these tapestries work is someone would come to my room door but if they meant to disturb me or cause me harm, the line going down the middle would lift up from the bottom to form a snake that would lash out, off the tarp. From there the snake would wrap up the victim before sinking its fangs into them, leaving the victim paralyzed for twenty-four hours allowing me to come and deal with them. I was given ten of these tarps and I knew I'd be taking at least two of them with me when I'm going to places, I have a house to keep me safe from either enemies or crazed fan girls. The ones I set up on either side of my bedroom door had already caught five Servants of Kali, masquerading as guards who were arrested shortly after they were discovered the following morning. (AN: Picture on pinterest page with water.)

There's also my scarf which I intend to wear it with my regular clothes from now on since along with it being a fine addition to my normal look and making me look good, it's also a powerful weapon. The way it works is like my third arm sash since like the sash, it can extend up to fifteen feet but unlike the sash, which is used for domestic use, this scarf was made for battle. The way it worked is when it extends the edges would become thin and hard allowing them to act as a blade that had no trouble cutting through solid rock like a hot knife through yak butter while moving as fast as a speed stinger. What really shocked me though was how at times it had a will of its own which is something I learnt when I was out in the courtyard practicing my ninjutsu style when a guard who was also a Servant of Kali tried to put an arrow in the back of my head. Before I could even react, the scarf sliced the arrow in two when it was five feet away from me while the guards caught my would-be assassin.

After that we ran a few tests and I had to say after the test where I had guards fire blunt wooden arrows at me from all sides, I knew the scarfs abilities were beyond my expectations. The reason for this is there were twenty-five men and out of the twenty-five arrows shot at me, only five made it to my body and even then, they wouldn't have hit anything vital. Along with this, I could also use it to strike things but make sure the edges or dulled so it doesn't cut but it's still a strong blow that feels like a strong blow from a blunt blade.

Finally, there are the chakram which I learnt were similar to my golden arrow and boomerang since they could float and be controlled by my will and make them float but they had their own abilities. To begin with they can easily pierce through stone as if it was nothing while also being able to split into two separate chakram when tossed and go separate ways so they can take out more enemies. Speaking of enemies, like my golden arrow and boomerang, they can go right through them either killing them or knocking them out cold for five hours. I had the feeling that when used together with my arrow and boomerang, I'd be able to clear out an entire army base within minutes

As for their own abilities they could grow to the size of an elephant and be then split into two with one hovering above the other forming an invisible wall connecting them, creating a cage. With this cage I could throw people into it but once they're in between the rings, they can't get out without me letting them out, so they're trapped until I release them. This meant when dealing with large groups of enemies, I could handle things faster by simply throwing them into the rings trapping them so I wouldn't have to knock them out or do too much to incapacitate them. I could also use this ability to create traps for animals and men by simply setting up the cage somewhere and making sure the rings were hidden and leaving some bait and the prey would walk right into it and never know they were trapped until it's too late. The growth ability also has another use and this ability is when I throw them at people who I wanted awake for interrogation, they grow slightly bigger and wrap around the victim, trapping them before I could will them to drag the victims back to me or fly them away.

Along with this they also had an ability that I knew would be helpful in taking out groups in rooms while also keeping my distance from them using only the discs and my Loki balls. The way it goes is the ring I use splits in two and while one of the discs it split into stays with me while the other one goes flying to wherever I willed it to. From there if I put something through the ring that was floating by me, it would then come out the other ring instead of the other side meaning I could drop gas filled Loki balls near anywhere including rooms that only had narrow windows.

Now I was laying against Toothless in the middle of a clearing in the jungle while my gathering chameleons were on the surrounding trees, gathering samples from the various plants while my harvest mantises looked for trees that held fruit for harvest. As I lay there, watching the clouds go by through the openings in the tree, I took a breath and smiled knowing this was truly the first time I've been able to truly relax in this land. The reason for this is I've been so busy either helping round up the remaining Servants of Kali who were masquerading as guards and citizens or dealing with my new adoring fans who wanted to know me about my fight with the Servants of Kali and past adventures. I admit it was nice to enjoy the piece but the sight of the clouds made me long for the soft lap of one of my Blanca while Astrid lay down next to me as the scent of my gardens flower was carried on the wind along with the laughter of my children who were playing among the garden.

I admit I got to enjoy a bit of time talking to Blanca through my wedding ring but it wasn't the same as talking to her in real life like when I'm lying in bed in the evening with her and Astrid while waiting for slumber to take us. I had to admit holding her and Astrid in my arms as we enjoyed some down time together wasn't the only thing I missed since I also missed my sparing with Astrid, walking through the forest with Blanca, enjoying dinner together with them as we all went over our day's events. I didn't just miss my wives though, I also missed my animals, my other dragons and of course Brant and Chara who Blanca told me are doing well but missing me. I had to admit I missed training Brant, carrying Chara through the garden while telling her about the places I've been to and of course playing with the both of them. Blanca told me that Brant had still been training hard and practicing the various moves I'd been teaching him and under the influence of Astrid while Chara had been studying under Blanca in the library.

Although I wanted to go home to the loving embrace of my loved ones, I still wanted a few more days here to explore the land and gather materials while also taking in some more of the culture. I figure I could collect a few seeds from the native herbs and fruits so I could grow them in my crop garden back home and use them for various things like healing gels or food recipes. With the way my automatons were working, I'd have all my samples in an hour but when I get home, I'd have to work on an automaton design to help carry the crops into storage. It was then my time of peace was ruined by the sound of a voice saying.

"Well what do we have here?" I opened my eyes and pushed my body up while Toothless quickly got up and growled as I looked around and saw a large group of men, walking out of the jungle from various directions, completely surrounding us as the man who was at the head of the group said. "Looks like we have the hero who had to go and ruin our great money-making business." I raised an eyebrow and looked the guy up and down and saw he was wearing brown pants, black shirt and turban, an elephant tusk ear ring in the right ear and a nasty set of three scars going across his face, most likely from a tiger but I didn't recognize the guy or any of his shirtless comrades.

"I'm sorry but have we met?" He shook his head.

"No but you knew my best client, Hunar who lead the Servants of Kali." Hearing this I growled and knew a fight was coming.

"You worked for Hunar?" He nodded.

"I supplied him with sacrifices to Kali and was paid a good amount of gold for it but now thanks to you that's over." He then brought out a sword as his men pulled out their own weapons. "I believe that calls for punishment and a little reparation money." His eyes then landed on Toothless. "And I'd say that beast of yours will fetch a high price on the open market." I glared at him while releasing my Chakram and taking one in each hand.

"If you want my dragon then you are going to be disappointed as I'm not going to give him up without a fight." He smiled

"I was hoping for that." He then pointed his blade at us. "Kill the man but leave the beast alive so we can get a higher price for it."

The men smiled and began walking towards us as I turned around and tossed one to the ground and watched it grow before another floated up above it. The men looked at the rings confused but five just ignored their confusion and charged right at me as I smiled since in doing so, they ran right into the ring and into the cage. When they reached the other end and tried to go over the ring though I smiled in amusement as they slammed right into an invisible wall, making everyone stop and stare in shock as the men recovered before they began feeling the wall. I turned to the leader of the group and said.

"These chakram were a gift from the gods and have many abilities like for example and ability to form the cage your men are now in." I then smirked. "Want to give up now or would you prefer a bit of a fight." I got into my battle stance while Toothless got ready for a fight.

"Get that man and that beast." The men charged at us as I smiled.

"Let's do this bud." He growled and nodded before the fight began.

Nobodies POV:

Toothless immediately slammed his tail to the side, striking two men armed with daggers to the side and right into the chakram cage with their friends who were pummeling the door. While this happened Hiccups, scarf blocked a downward slash from a sword from one guy before he slashed at the man with his chakram knocking the man out. Hiccup then turned around and threw his chakram at three charging men knocking them out before Toothless fired a plasma blast at a group of four men who were coming at Hiccup from behind. Hiccup smiled and signaled Toothless for a move who growled and nodded before Hiccup ran at him as Toothless lowered his head allowing Hiccup to jump onto it. Toothless then quickly lifted his head, throwing his rider up into the air before Hiccup twisted his body to maneuver his body towards one of the men.

Hiccup quickly landed on the man's shoulders, wrapping his legs around the guys shoulder and then pulled back, pulling the man with him before landing on his hands and using his strength to pull the man up and toss him back into another man who was trying to help his friends escape the cage. This resulted in them both being pushed into the chakrams ring, trapping them while Toothless slammed another man into the cage after them using his head. Hiccup then quickly got back onto his feet and turned to avoid a stab from a man before he grabbed the guy by the wrist and threw him towards Toothless who quickly swatted the man into the cage using his tail. Hiccup smiled at this, giving Toothless a thumbs up before quickly doing a backflip to dodge a man charging from behind and then slamming his foot into the guys back, causing the flaming bull to appear out his chest as he screamed while being dragged to the cage.

It was then six men charged at Hiccup from all sides making him smirk as his scarf rose up and in the blink of an eye it was out, striking the men in their guts or necks quickly, knocking them out in six seconds flat. Hiccup looked around for his next opponent and saw there were still three men, not including the leader who weren't looking very confident right before they turned around and began running. Hiccup just rolled his eyes and held out his arm that had his magic rope on it and quickly willed it after them with the rope growing and extending and then going around their legs, tripping the men before dragging the men to the cage as Hiccup looked around. Doing this he saw nobody was left as the only men who were still conscious were all trapped in the chakram cage except for the leader who was looking at Hiccup in shock and horror but Hiccup just smirked and said.

"And here's another fun ability that my chakram have." He threw the chakram right at the leader before they spit in two and grew, quickly catching up to him before wrapping around him as they then shrunk, pinning his arms and legs together. "The ability to restrain my opponents and keep them from going anywhere." The chakram then began dragging the leader back to Hiccup while Hiccups rope returned to its original place around his wrist. "You shouldn't have messed with me or worked with the Servants of Kali." The leader just glared at Hiccup who brought out his Celtic bag. "The Rajah will decide the fate of you and your men." Hiccup then began gathering all the men into his bag.

5 minutes later

Hiccups POV:

I sighed as the last of the men was pulled into my Mystic Celtic bag and turned to Toothless who crooned making me smile as I patted his muzzle before I said.

"Well bud, I don't know about you but I think that's enough excitement for today so what do you say we grab the automatons and head back to the palace." He crooned in agreement. "Before we do though, we should check the area for their campsite since there might be more men there." He growled and nodded. "We can take a rest though; my automatons will handle the search for us." He growled in approval as he lay down making me roll my eyes and mutter. "Lazy reptile." I then shrugged and lay down with him.

1 hour later

It's been an hour since our encounter with the men who were led by the man with the scarred face and after that, we were able to relax a bit while my automatons worked on finding their camp. It took half an hour to find their camp and another half to deal with all the men there were and also do a full raid of the entire camp, finding nothing more than a bit of food, a few jewels, some gold a couple of animal pelts and something that surprised me. This brings us to now with me standing in the middle of the camp with Toothless and cradled in my arms was the thing that surprised me, a tiger cub who couldn't be more than two months old and sadly, one of the pelts I found most likely belonged to its mother. Knowing I couldn't leave the little guy alone since he'd be meat in the jungle and although I know its nature's way, it doesn't mean I have to like it. I looked down at the little guy and saw it was a male who was staring up at me in curiosity as I sighed and turned to Toothless before gently placing the little one in an empty saddle bag, standing up so his head was sticking out before I said.

"Let's get to the palace bud." He growled and nodded.

6 days later

It's been six days since I took down the bandits who used to supply sacrifices to the Servants of Kali and in that time not much has happened besides me doing a little digging up on the group after handing them over to the guards. Turns out the leader goes by the name Samarth and the warriors of this land had been after his group for years for multiple crimes but they were always able to escape into the jungle somehow. I was given a large amount of gold as payment for my services and allowed to keep the loot from their camp but I gave away the tiger pelts, not wanting the cub to feel uncomfortable. Speaking of the cub, I rarely left the little guy alone since I wanted him to know that I was going to look after him for now and given him the name Kanan to make things easier when it comes time to train him. Along with the cub, I was given another companion as a gift in the form of a baby female elephant who I'd named Ahana since she looked like an Ahana to me. She was a gift from a local who raised and trained elephants to help people get through the jungle and had lost his eldest daughter to Samarth and his group so he wanted to thank me for bringing them to justice.

Now I was out in the palace garden where I'd set up a portal door, Toothless on my right with Kanan in his saddlebag, Ahana on my left and Ishir and Advika in front of me. It was then Ishir stepped forward and said.

"Hiccup, I will never be able to thankyou enough for all you have done for my people, from defeating the servants of Kali while also exposing Hunars true colors and capturing Samarth and his group." He placed his hands on my shoulders. "If you ever need anything, just let us know and we will come to your aid." I smiled and nodded as Advika said.

"And next time you come, let's make it so you're here for a vacation with your family." I chuckled.

"Things rarely go that way for me but it never hurts to try." They chuckled as the portal door opened.

"Now if you'll all excuse me, I need to go and face an enemy more fearsome than any demon or monster." They all looked concerned as I smiled. "My wives who are no doubt going to be angry when they find out what I've been doing in this land." They chuckled as Ishir said.

"There are few things in this world that can measure up to the intimidation of the anger of a woman which is only worse when it is the ones we love." I smiled and nodded.

"Too true." I then bowed. "Till next we meet my friends." With that said I lead my little group through the portal door.

Hiccups island

Nightfall

I was once again on my island after a long day of questioning from the people and answering from me with little Chara sitting on my lap until the session was over and she was taken outside by Brant. This was of course so she wouldn't be present for me getting yelled at by her mothers and my parents who were not too happy with me for going up against an entire evil cult, an evil magic giant and of course, destroying a dam while I was in the river it was blocking. Once the yelling was over and done with I was able to enjoy a little quiet time, catching up with my wives and parents to find out what I'd missed while I was away. Not much has happened other than the usual stuff with my mom and Astrid helping with the riders, improving their training resulting in Snotlout once again getting his butt set on fire and the twins doing some damage to people property.

When that was all done I got to work on the new island piece and was surprised when the new piece turned out to be a new jungle piece but the plants of the jungle were those native to India. In the temple was a large temple on a giant platform that lead up to the ring-shaped temple and this temple had a statue of each of the main gods between the large pillars that held up the roof that lined the edges of the temple. The statue of Shiva was the one that was opposite of the entrance and had a giant gong behind it while the floor that made up the entire courtyard had a beautiful but complicated pattern. I figured it would be a good place to both worship the gods and for Kanan to be kept until he was old enough to roam on his own and also keep Ahana until I could build her a pen.

Now I was in bed after enjoying an evening with my wives who wanted me to know they were glad to have me back and did not want me going anywhere for a good few weeks. I gently caressed their heads while thinking about what I'd gone through and knew that after all this I wanted to just enjoy a little down time with my family but my life wasn't that simple. I knew it was only a matter of time before another adventure and if the feeling in my gut that something big was coming getting worse was anything to go by, what was coming is big. For now, though, I was content to just enjoy the quiet while it lasted and with this in mind I drifted off into the sweet realm of sleep.

Cliff where Sahil was defeated

A hooded figure stood at the cliff and held out his hand facing down into the waters below before dust slowly floated up from the water, taking the form of a skull with a small piece of ruby in the forehead. The skull was pulled into his hand before he took a breath as he said.

"Reforming this was not easy but all this work will be worth it once my master is returned to this world and for my services, I will be well rewarded." With that said he made his way into the darkness.

AN: And this brings an end to this chapter and this time in India, I hope you all enjoyed it and will actually review it but anyway, I was going over my profile and figure its time I try to get back to my roots and continue my A&O stories so the chapters for this story might take a little longer. Anyway, have a nice day and remember to review kindly.
