Simultaneously....

The wind was cold that night.. Krishna looked out his window..He sharpened his knife and kept it...

Rukmini saw out of the window. Nitya and Dvipat were running towards Yamuna river..

Rukmini-" Arya... These two.."
Krishna-" It's fine Priye. Let them have their time. "

Krishna stood near the window... His Yellow armour appeared... He narrowed his eyes at his giant pray...

A huge bird stood on a tree... He stared at Krishna with his red eyes... The bird took a swing and flew in the air he charged towards Krishna's house... With his divine powers a protective armour surrounded his house...

The bird dashed it and there was a huge impact... Sambh was awake at the moment and the impact made him lose balance...

Banasen felt some crushes of wood fall on his face.. But he ignored it... Charu woke up.. She felt the impact once ... Twice ... And trice...

This time she woke up... She saw her older brothers running near the main gate... Pramudya the eldest son of Rukmini and Krishna,came to her...

Pramudya-" Charu listen! We are under attack! Your other brothers and I are going a fight a huge monster out there so stay here.. Mata has sent a order you must protect Nitya and yourself! Okay little sister, stay safe!"

He placed a kiss on her forehead and headed out... It took a few moments for Charu get the talk in her head...

She turned around to the other side of her bed and was horrified to see that Nitya wasn't there...

She quickly ran out to find her....

On the other hand on the third major impact Banasen woke up... By the footsteps he understood something was wrong...

He went to wake up Dvipat..But he wasn't there... Sambh shouted near his chamber's door that they were attacked by a huge bird and it was causing major trouble...

He grabbed his sword and prayed that his twin Dvipat and his other half Charu were alright...

Charu ran frantically, she couldn't find Nitya anywhere... Just than she heard a screech... It was loud she covered her ears...

She saw Banasen running at the main gate, she followed him.. Maybe she could find Nitya in the village...

By the time Banasen reached there, Pramudya and Sambh had tied a huge rope on the bird's neck and pulled it..

Another one of the brother, shot a Arrow on it's neck... Everyone aimed for it neck... They shot divya astra at him.. Sucharu threw a rope at Banasen they skillfully tied it legs... The bird was losing momentum...

It fell down with a thud...

The boys celebrated for a moment.. But Banasen felt something was wrong... How could a bird so huge get defeated so fast? Charu took the opportunity, she walked at fast as he could.. A rock made her fall.. she fell right in front of the bird...

She groaned, Pramudya's grip loosened and Sambh cheered... Sucharu was proudly looking around..

Charu stared at the falled bird..

It opened it red eyes and stared right in her soul... It scared Charu for a moment... Rukmini saw her..

The bird got up with double strength it felt as if he powered up.. The boys lost control and were thrown in air..

The bird was ready to attack her... 

Rukmini screamed-" CHARU!"

Charu felt numb... Banasen jumped out of nowhere and grabbed her.. He pushed her out of the way..

The bird's sharp beak left a deep wound on his back.. He slightly groaned over the burning wound... Charu looked at her love, she felt his blood on her shoulder...

He winked at her, it made her eyes wet... The bird flapped it wings and screeched again...

Banasen pulled Charu close to him.. He didn't care about his bleeding back... Pramudya came running to him, he helped him get up.. Charu wasn't physically hurt but the fact that Banasen got a wound because of her left a permanent scar on her...

Satyabhama grabbed Charu and dragged her to Rukmini and left Banasen in Pramudya's care..

Rukmini gritted her teeth and was ready too place a tight slap on Charumati's cheek... She controlled herself and pulled her only daughter close to her...

Rukmini-" What in the world were you doing over there? Huh? Didn't I tell you to stay inside?"

Charu-" M-Mata! I went to find Nitya! I can't find her!"
Rukmini-" No dear! It's fine she must be alright, Dvipat is with her..."

Banasen held his hair,his expressions were pained...

Pramudya-" Banasen what happened?"
Banasen-" Ugh.. I think jhest is trying to connect with me... But something is getting in the way..."

Pramudya-" Banasen! You can't connect here! This place isn't right! You know your body goes numb after disconnecting..."
Banasen(still in pain)-" It's fine... He got the scar... And this is the only way I can protect him... Please jhest help me..."

Pramudya knew very well about the taunts Dvipat received because of his scar... The technique taught by Krishna was only possible only by Banasen's actions... He could help Dvipat... But Dvipat would never be able to help him...

Banasen-(thought -"Calm down...Just connect."
Banasen-" Jhest?"
Dvipat-" Thank God Banasen! Now tell me what is going on outside? Hurry!"

Banasen-"Jhest there is a hug demon in the form of bird but where are you?"
Dvipat-" Am stuck underwater with Kumari Nitya...."

Banasen-"Ah no! Do you need my help?
Dvipat-"  Yes listen carefully hold Your breath for few minutes I will summon a shastra from Pavandev but for that I need to open my mouth and  breathe... Please Banasen!"

Tch... Jhest you don't have to beg to me ofcourse I will help you...

Banasen-" Don't worry jhest... I will do it!")

Banasen immediately toke a huge breath... He imagined that he was calmly sitting in water... Fishes swimming around him and licking the wounds on his feet...

This peaceful image was interrupted when he felt something electric pass through his body...

His eyebrows narrowed... Just than he felt current pass through him... He felt the urge to breathe but didn't... The consequences would be big... Both Nitya and Dvipat would get the electric shock... He wanted to avert it.

The shock was there was a while... There were red rashes over his body..

Charu was crying, Jambhvati and Rukmini both tried keeping her behind...

Once the shock was over, Dvipat disconnected... Banasen felt his body go numb..His eyes were closed and head was hung down...

The bird stared at the boy taking the chance he turned his beak and pierced Banasen's chest...

Banasen felt the mixtured pain.. He lost him balance.. Pramudya immediately caught him... Charu broke past her mother...

She creased Banasen's cheeks...Her Shoulder unknowingly touched his bleeding chest..  Anger filled her body...

She got up and faced the monster...

Charu possessed a very dangerous boon from lord Agni ... Her devotion towards him could get the world shaken...

She slowly started converting... The wind was howling... And anyone who will be in her radius could get burnt alive...

Pramudya pulled Banasen away...

Sambh-" PITASHREE! IF THIS CONTINUES WHOLE DWARKA WILL BE BURNT BY CHARU'S ANGER! DO SOMETHING!"

Krishna opened his eyes... He looked at his injured student... Rukmini knew both the father and daughter were pleasent but when they got angry...

The consequences would be big...

Krishna being the universal lord wasn't affected by Charu's heat... He got close to her. Charu was almost about to transform, Krishna kept his hand on her head...

Krishna-" Oh my only daughter... I understand your anger for your loved one, but do not let your angered thoughts control you... Calm down..."

Charu was orange and looked transperant like fire... She looked at her father and nodded..

Krishna stepped ahead of her... His aura was tremendous and the bird steeped behind...

He summoned his sudarshan chakra...

The bird was down in barely few seconds... Dvipat was back with Nitya they were slightly wet...

His eyes widened at Banasen's condition..

He touched his cheeks..his teeth shivered and tears ran down his eyes..
Banasen's eyes were half opened..

The people is Krishna's kingdom gathered near his house.. They brought some weapons...

Man1-" Maharaj! What happened here? Is everyone alright?"
Man4-" Yes we have brought some weapons tell us if you need any?"

Krishna-" We were attacked... The person who sent that demon is unknown... Banasen is the only one injured, I can take care about it.. You all may leave! Please sleep peacefully no need to worry!"

After Krishna completed speaking a man came running...

Man2-" Maharaj! There is a giant dead body near Yamuna river! Who could take down such a Monster?"
Woman1-" Is that a question? Ofcourse it's the devil in that boy!"

The women pointed at Dvipat.. Nitya was shocked they were blaming him rather than thanking him...

If Dvipat hadn't taken the monster.. maybe tomorrow is would have eaten the people? Their cattle?

Dvipat stopped crying...

Man6-" That boy shall be thrown out of our kingdom!"
Woman7-" Yes! He is the cause of our attacks! Maharaj throw him out!"

Dvipat stared at his brother... He slightly grabbed his brother's collar...

Dvipat-"WHY DID YOU HELP ME OUT? HUH? IF I WOULDN'T HAVE DEFEATED THAT MONSTER THESE PEOPLE WOULD HAVE BELIEVED THAT I AM A NORMAL HUMAN BEING!! IT'S AL YOUR FAULT BANASEN, ALL YOUR FAULT!"

Banasen felt a pang in his heart...

Dvipat-" COUNTLESS TIMES YOU HAVE HELPED ME... WHY? JUST TO SHOW YOU ARE SUPERIOR? JUST TO SHOW THAT I NEED YOUR HELP TO DEFEAT THESE MONSTERS? WHY ARE YOU STILL WITH ME?"

Banasen-"I... Want ...to..pro-protect you..."

Dvipat-"THEN DON'T PROTECT ME! OR ELSE THIS LOVE OF YOURS TO ME MIGHT BECOME THE CAUSE OF YOUR DEATH!"

Banasen felt utterly hurt... He always felt guilty for Dvipat's scar and wanted to protect him.. but he never realised that it was bothering him more...

The air was filled with silence.. Krishna looked down... Why were things getting so worse? Rukmini whispered to her boys to get everyone in and arrange a bed for Banasen...

Sucharu made the Villagers go... Dvipat simply stood there...

Sambh-" Dvipat-"

He ran away...

Nitya-" No..."
Sambh-" It's fine Nitya .. give him sometime... Let him think what he uttered to Banasen..."

In the twins chamber...

Satyabhama bandaged Banasen... The glow from his eyes was lost...

Satyabhama-" Putra... I know he didn't mean any of that... Take rest for sometime.."

Banasen looked down.. his vision blurred as his eyes were filled with tears.. he clasped his bedsheet...

Banasen-(thought -"It's fine brother... You may think what you want... Even if you have the slightest chance to live I am always ready to die..)

He looked out at the cloudy sky...

[ Here it is! The awaited character development for Banasen! He loves his brother so much.. but! Does Dvipat feel the same way? Stay tuned for next chapter!]
