Chương 138: Deed-138: Depend

{November 2007 A. Y. Yokai Realm, far from Naimisha Kingdom} [While flying in the chariot] [Ram was sitting with a bit of discomfort] [Ban observes, that Ram was sitting dull and silent] [Ban in a curious tone] Ban: Lord, you look dull! Should I land somewhere!?! [Ram smiles] Ram: No need for that, dear! Ram: I am all fine, please take me there fast!!! [Ban with a bit concerning tone] Ban: Sure, my Lord! But can I know what is it that troubling you!?!

[Ram with a bit sarcastic grin smiles, while Ban listens with complete attention] Ram: I thought that my queens would stop me, I thought that they would ask me to wait for a day! Ram: As we have returned recently, and it hasn't even been a year, yet we are leaving to fight! I assumed that my queens won't send me or stop me from going!!! Ram: But all they said to me was to leave, and save the continent! I suppose they have all become independent and can manage themselves! Ram: Should I be happy or sad, NARAYANA!?!

[Ban was surprised on hearing that] [Ram with a concerning tone] Ram: Even other commanders were silent, they didn't have the guts to say that they would accompany me or asked me to wait until lunchtime, and share the dining hall with them! Ram: They were all silent, it was like they wanted me to leave immediately!!! Ram: I know how strong Lord Chand is! I know that he can handle it all alone, yet all my yokai wanted me to go immediately, to help Lord Chand!

[Ram with a bit curious tone] Ram: Ban, how strong are those Asuras anyway!?! [Ban with an obedient tone] Ban: My Lord, Asuras are sure strong creatures! They can't be defeated that easily without astral powers! Ban: In fact, weapons without astral powers can't even scratch them! Even artillery or cannon can't stop them! Ban: Lord, to defeat one Asura, we need at least 5 skilled astral powered weapon holders!

Ban: Hence, everyone wanted you to leave as soon as possible, it's not a joke to defeat those Auras, my lord! To not let our yokai get killed, they wanted you to leave soon, my lord!!! Ban: They all want to depend on you, my lord! We live as we all depend on you, we know that you would protect us all, that's why we don't worry about ourselves, my lord!!! Ban: We know that you will protect us and our happy smiles! We know that nothing would happen to us, as long as you love us! Hence, we think about others!

As not everyone has Lord Ram on whom they can depend!!! Ban: That's the only reason why they all wanted you to leave and defeat those Asuras, as they didn't want any yokai to get even a scratch, as we all know that how sad you would become, that if you get to know that because of your laziness or selfishness some yokai got killed! This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

Ban: Then you will act as if it was all your fault, and we know that it isn't your mistake but you would feel sad, despaired, yet continue to smile, like a father who always hides his pain with a smile! [Ram smiles] Ban: You care about all the yokai, as if you are our real dad and you would keep on feeling depressed and sad even after centuries, as if it was all your mistake!!! Ban: But it's not, my lord!

Even if we try to convince you, you won't be relieved and hide it all with a smile and act like you are all good and happy! Ban: You would just fake happiness and none of us want that! Hence, instead of ever getting into such future, we all have promised ourselves that we would never let you feel down, that's the only reason why they all were in a hurry to say bye and send you! Ban: As in future we could never see you sad or faking happiness for us, my lord!!!

[Ram smiles happily as he understood how much his yokai loves him and wants to depend on him] [Ram with an enthusiastic tone] Ram: Continue telling me about the Asuras' strength! [Ban with obedience and serious look on his face] Ban: My Lord, I can heal anyone in this realm, who gets hurt by nature or other yokai! I can heal them all, within 30 seconds! But I can't heal someone who gets hurt or even scratch by Asura or any other astral entities, within such a short time!

Ban: I can't heal wounds caused by Asuras, Rakshasa, Brahma-rakshasas' etc. astral entities swiftly, my lord!

Ban: Hence, I can't heal you even if you get hit by Asuras! It would take me at least a few weeks to heal your wounds caused by Asuras! Ban: Please be careful, my lord!!! Don't take a hit from those Asuras!!! [Ram smiles with an assuring gesture, pats Ban's shoulder] [Ban with a sincere and curious tone] Ban: My Lord, do you have astral powered weapons!?! [Ram smiles enthusiastically] Ram: No, dear! But I have a strong body, would that be enough!?! [Ban with an obedient tone] Ban: Of course, my lord!

Weapons are just an extension of us! Ban: You can surely defeat those Asuras, my lord! [Ram smiles] Ram: Do you have any!?! [Ban nods his head with a bit embarrassment] Ban: Sorry, my lord!!! I don't have any! [Ram pats and smiles] Ram: No need to worry! We will figure out things and defeat those Asuras! [Ban with enthusiasm and faith on his Lord] Ban: Sure, my lord! Thank you for the kind words, my Lord!

Ban: My Lord, we have to defeat 100 Asuras, it sure is going to be an awesome adventure, but please don't be reckless, my lord!!! Ban: You sure are the strongest, my lord! But still, it's better to be cautious, my lord! [Ram smiles] Ram: Thank you, dear!

[After flying with full speed for a while, they saw two commanders and hundreds of troops of Lord Chand, who were posted nearby the nations' north border] [Ram orders Ban to land nearby the border] [While Ram's chariot was landing, Lord Chand's commanders and their yokai posted at the border were relieved on seeing Lord Ram's flag over that chariot] [On seeing Ram's flag, those yokai and commanders started hailing and praising Lord Ram] [As soon as Ram lands, he prays and gets off the chariot after prostrating to Bhu Mata with his right hand first and then disembarks from the chariot gently] [While Ram was prostrating, the commanders approached Ram with hope and curiosity] [Ram with an assuring smile looks at all of them, while Ban parks the chariot] [The commanders with an unanimous and curious tone] Commanders: Lord Ram, are you here to assist our Lord!?!

Commanders: Please assist our lord, Lord Ram!!! [The commanders and yokai started requesting Ram to assist their Lord] [Ram smiles] [Ram's inner voice: All these commanders are standing at the border! These are the strongest yokai in this continent, yet they are asking for help as if they are helpless children] [Ram's inner voice: Those Asuras are sure strong, I have to be cautious, NARAYANA! I know that if all these commanders and soldiers attacked me at once, when I am all exhausted, then they can defeat me for sure, but won't be able to kill me!] [Ram chuckles] [Ram's inner voice: No one can kill me, I have NARAYANA and all devatas' krupa on me!!! Yet, I can be defeated and get fatal injuries if I am not cautious! Ram's inner voice: Now I understand, why my commanders stood silently! When the continent's strongest yokai are frightened, then how can someone who look up to them, can ever dare to step in? Ram's inner voice: It would be like insulting all these yokai and taunting them! Even if someone who thinks that they are stronger than these commanders, then all he/she is dreaming a delusional nightmare with a fake overconfidence! Ram's inner voice: All these strong commanders are requesting me to help, then what chance does anyone in this continent has to defeat or even fight an Asura, NARAYANA!?!] ----Meet you in the next deed, Guys
