Chương 139: Deed-139: Compassion

{November 2007 A. Y. Yokai Realm nearby the Mahindra Giri Kingdom's border} [Ram while being surrounded by Mahindra Giri's commanders and army, who were requesting Ram to assist their Lord] [Ram with an assuring and comforting smile] Ram: Please, don't insult me by asking help!!! [All the yokai surrounding him were surprised] Ram: Lord Chand is my dad! What kind of son would I be, if I am of no help to him!?! Ram: I don't need any invitation or request letters for that!

Don't insult me by thinking of me as an outsider!!! Ram: While I was coming here, my son Sampath enthusiastically rushed towards me and told me, that he would accompany me! Ram: I am the father of such a son!!! How can I ever let my father fight alone!?! [By hearing those words all the yokai around Ram were surprised and felt assured] [Commander Sashi (2nd Ranking Commander(Vidhur's Brother)) with pride] Commander Sashi: Lord Ram, even Gunaniddhi said that to Lord Chand, that he would accompany Lord!

Commander Sashi: As of we speak now, one of our commanders is training Gunaniddhi, as we all were moved by your son's determination! [Ram smiles] Ram: Thank you all for training him, I am honored that my son is being trained by such strong commanders!!! [All the yokai became embarrassed and looked down shyly] [Ram patted the commanders' shoulders] Ram: I didn't mean to insult or taunt you! Don't make these faces! You all are the hope of our continent, hold your head high!!!

[Ram encourages them all and makes them all enthusiastic again, while Ban returns after parking the chariot] [By looking Ban, many yokai with fear and reverence showed him path to approach and stand beside Lord Ram] [Ram smiles and looks at Ban's expression, whether he was getting any pride that he was being feared and revered by others] [Ban with obedience and without any pride approached Ram as if he was a mere yokai] [Ram smiles and pats Ban's shoulders] [Ram in a curious and enthusiastic tone asks those commanders] Ram: What are you doing here!?!

[Commander Sashi with obedience replies] Commander Sashi: Lord Chand has ordered all his commanders to scout the whole continent, and us two to scout the border, to check for any Asura's escape, my lord!!! Commander Sashi: If any Asura escapes Lord Chand's sight and approaches the kingdom, we have to send signals, indicating that we are in danger!!!

Commander Sashi: Lord Chand ordered us all to stay on high alert, as this would be the best time for other kingdoms to attack our kingdom and become the continent's 1st ranking! [Ram sighs, as they have to be ready for war, irrespective of what ever happens] Commander Sashi: Hence, all the 8 commanders with their army are scouting all over our border, while the 1st ranking commander is training Gunaniddhi and protecting the palace!!!

[Ram with a dominating tone] Ram: I will cross the border and meet Lord Chand to defeat all those Asuras! Ram: Commander Sashi, how far is Lord Chand from here? Commander Sashi: Approximately, 10-15 kilometers away! This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings. Ram: Ban, how many clones can you manage? Ban: As many as you want, my lord! Under 20 kilometers I can manage them all! Ram: Hmm, I want you to generate 100 clones and put them here on guard duty and help these yokai!

Ram: I want you to send 200 clones and scout outside the border, where Lord Chand is fighting, I want all those clones to just scout! Ram: Only Lord Chand and I would fight them, all other clones will only scout and inform me, if any reinforcements or traps are on the way! [Ban gets a bit dull] Ram: Ban, I know how strong you are! Yet, I don't want you to fight those Asuras, it's final!!! [Ban with a requesting and pleasing face looks at Lord Ram] Ram: No dear, I know how badly you want to help me!

But, you won't engage in battle! [Ban with a bit requesting tone] Ban: My Lord, I won't engage in close combat, but can I at least attack them from long range!?! [Ram smiles] Ban: I won't disturb your fight, my lord! I would never dream to, but my lord! Please, at least let me act as a decoy to confuse the yokai who are attacking you from behind or... [Ram with an authoritative tone, making all the yokai and Ban around him frightened, by his aura and voice] Ram: You aren't allowed to act as decoy, no matter what!!!

Ram: I allow you to attack from long range, but you are strictly prohibited from being a decoy, as soon as you see an Asura within 2 kilometers range, you will leave that area! Ram: If you promise that you will maintain 2 kilometers distance between them, only then you are allowed to enter!!!

[Ban was frightened to the core, he didn't even have anything to say as Ram's aura and words were so authoritative] [Moreover, Ban knew that if he tried to push his luck further, then Lord Ram will order him to return to Naimisha, hence Ban stood silently and agreed on Lord's condition while all other yokai were surprised and shocked by Lord Ram's aura, words and love, it made them all remember Lord Chand's way of commanding with love] [Ram turns towards the yokai while Ban rushes to bring the chariot] Ram: The more time I waste, the more hectic it would become for Lord Chand, I will go right away!

I don't want my dad to take any stress! [On listening those words from Ram's mouth all the yokai around him were looking Lord with love, admiration and faith] Commander Sashi: Lord Chand, won't be far away as he has left by walk, today morning after his breakfast he came here with his chariot but from here onwards Lord Chand walked towards Asura all by himself, as he didn't wanted even his horses to die! Commander Sashi: Lord Chand didn't wanted anyone to get into risk, hence he has left all alone by walk!

You can meet him soon if you rush your chariot, my lord! [Ram smiles on Lord Chand's compassion and concern towards his yokai] Ram: Ok, then! Meet you guys after victory! I don't want to keep dad on waiting!!! [By saying that, Ram looks towards Ban who was sitting at the driver seat of a Byakko pulled chariot. Ram hops on to that chariot and with that chariot they cross the border, while all the yokai were hailing and praising the Lords] [Ram waves at them back, and with full speed they rushed towards Lord Chand while Ban was creating his clones and driving the chariot] [All the yokai got much assured as Ban's clone stayed with them to help them in case of emergency or for immediate communication with their Lords] [Ban's clones were running with the speed of hawk, and were scouting all over the place] [Outside the border it was filled with undisturbed ecosystem, with mountains, waterfalls, tall trees, ripe fruits on the ground, wild beasts wandering and running away by looking at the approaching chariot] [After few minutes of journey, the scouts saw Lord Chand resting in a den] [As soon as Ban's clone saw Lord Chand, Ban rushed the chariot towards Lord Chand] [While Ram along with Ban were approaching them, the clones met Lord Chand and updated him about the current situation to Lord Chand] [Lord Chand was both angry and relieved, as he got assistance from Lord Ram] [By the time clones' explanation was over, Ram was there] [On seeing Ram, Chand became happy and hugged Ram] [Chand with a bit authoritative tone] Chand: Why did you come?

What will I answer to my daughter if you get hurt? [Ram smiles] Ram: What will I answer my SHRI GURUDEV, NARAYANA, all DEVATAS, my queens, my children and myself, on knowing that I sat silently when my dad was fighting with powerful creatures!?! [Chand smiles and pats Ram's head with love and proudness] [Ram in a curious tone] Ram: Are you ready, dad!?! [Chand with an enthusiastic tone] Chand: Sure, dear!!! Ram: Then come, dad! Let's go and defeat those Asuras and head back home!

[Ram in a sarcastic tone] Ram: We have queens waiting for us at our homes!

[Chand and Ram smiles and boards the chariot] [Chand and Ram along with Ban rushes towards the Asuras] [While going towards Asuras, Chand explains his plan to Ram and how to defeat those Asuras without astral powered weapons] [Ram and Chand discussed for a while, and after a while they saw Asuras, as soon as they saw Asuras, Ram ordered Ban to stop the chariot and with his clone take the chariot back and while maintaining 2 kilometers distance attack those Asuras] [As per Ram's order, after dropping Ram and Chand 500 meters away from the Asuras, Ban took the chariot and left towards the border] [After getting 2 kilometers away from Asuras, Ban jumps on to a tall tree with his bow, while Ban's clone drives the chariot back to the Mahindra Giri, while Ram and Chand moved towards the Asuras to fight] ----Meet you in the next deed, Guys
