“What’s there to discuss, lord Yama gives us order and we follow it, that’s it,” said the lord of Avici
“That is the thing which you are not trying to understand,” said the lord of Krimisha, “we are not slaves, we are lords of hells and lord Yama gives us orders like we are bloody damn slaves”.
“Are you trying to turn us against lord Yama?” asked the lord of Dandasuka
“No, I’m not, I’m trying to…” The lord of Krimisha got interrupted
“Yes, yes, you are trying to turn us against lord Yama because he shamed you in front of the whole court, and you are trying to take revenge on him,” said the lord of Avici
“don’t look it that way” said lord of Krimisha trying to convince, “I want to take revenge on him for all of us, for all the things he did to us and once we will start to rule, everything will be different and we will be able to operate our hells in the way we want, not in the way he tells us”.
“So, I indeed was right,” said the lord of Dandasuka, “you are planning to overthrow the rule of lord Yama”.
“Yes, I am, but does it even matter if it is right?” said lord of Krimisha
“It is right, only for you, not for us,” said the lord of Avici
“We will not support this at all,” said Dandasuka, “this meeting ends here”.
All the lords of hell got up from their seats.
“Wait, only you two are the ones who don’t agree with me,” said Lord of Krimisha, “what about the others?”.
“We also do not agree with you,” said the lord of Tamisra
“But why? don’t you guys feel chained by the rules of Lord Yama?” asked lord Krimisha
“We do feel a restraint, but we shouldn’t act on every restraint because some of them are important for the stability,” said the Lord of Dandasuka
“Lord of Krimisha, the rules about which you are talking are necessary for the souls. These rules were made when we were not even a thing,” said the lord of Avici
“Exactly,” said lord of Dandasuka while looking towards lord of Avici, and then he gazed coldly at Lord of Krimisha, “like it or not, these rules are the ones that we have to live by”.
Lord of Krimisha was listening to all of this in silence,
Bloody cowards, they don’t have enough guts to stand up for themselves, so how did I expect that they would stand against Lord Yama? It was my mistake.
“This meeting ends here, lord of Krimisha. If you ever tried again to corrupt us or turn us against Lord Yama, then Lord Yama will deal with you by himself,” said the Lord of Avici, and he walked away from the meeting, followed by all the lords of hell.
I shouldn’t have risked making this move; I guessed wrong about all of them. I thought they knew how powerful they are, and we all could have easily taken the rule of Yama. Now I have no choice except to take my steps back and let Lord Yama rule because without the help of other lords, I cannot defeat lord Yama.
“Lord of Krimisha, I think you should return to your hell; there are still many souls left to punish,” said the Yamaduta standing beside him.

Lord of Krimisha walked away from the council area to Krimisha.
Ivaan was looking at the full moon shining in the night sky while sitting outside the hut. The witch came from behind and sat beside him. She held him in her arms,
“What are you looking at?” the witch asked
“I’m looking at the moon,”
“And why is that?”
“I don’t know,” he said, “maybe I find the moon beautiful and somehow the moon calms me down whenever I look at it”.
“I don’t understand why you need to calm yourself…”. He glanced at her but didn’t say anything.
“Are nightmares still troubling you?” asked the witch. Ivaan nodded
“Oh, they always ruin your sleep,” said the witch, “don’t worry, today I will do a spell for you and those nightmares will never trouble you again”.
“Thank you, mother,” he hugged her tightly.
“How many times do I have to say to you, don’t thank me?” said the witch, “Even if you are not my blood, you will always be my real son, and nobody can deny that”.
“Mother, I have a question,”
“What is it?”
“Why do I get so many nightmares?” he asked, “I am also able to hear the voices of my parents calling me, is something wrong with me?”.
“Who said that something is wrong with you?”
“When I used to live with my parents, everyone used to say that I get so many nightmares because I am cursed ,evil and that something is wrong with me,” he said with teary eyes.
“I’m sorry, my dear child,” said the witch, “that you have to face such people. But let me tell you the truth, you are special like me, and those people are nothing but normal. You are a magical child. Some people are born with special senses and powers. Dreaming is also one of the powers; dreams are a medium to connect with the higher realms and to receive messages from the spirits.”
“You get so many nightmares because you are in tune with the energies surrounding you, and your energy is special. That is why you are able to sense unseen energies surrounding you, which takes the form of your dreams, which is also the reason why you are able to contact your parents, because they live in the spiritual realm.”
“Me and you are special, different from others, and whenever people notice someone who is different and have supernatural powers, they label them evil or sometimes devil worshippers. Then they punish and kill us.”
“Why do they do such thing, mother, it is so wrong,”
“It is, my child” said the witch, “Some people do this out of envy, some do it because of jealousy and some do it out of fear. This is how this world works, envy, jealousy and greed”.
“Then it is so pathetic to live in such a world,”
Then the witch made him sit beside her, “It will not feel pathetic, if you will live in the same way as others do”.
“But my father used to tell me that it is wrong,”
“Once I also used to think like that, until those people killed my family brutally, and they tried to burn me when they got to know that I have powers,” said the witch
“What, they tried to burn you!!”
“That day I came to know that this is how this world works, there is no good in this world and the only good there is in this world, is that do whatever you want that makes you happy and safe,” said the witch, “listen carefully, people like us cannot survive in the light that is why we choose to live in the dark”.
Ivaan was listening silently.
“And that is your first lesson of magic,” the witch laughed while she tickled M in the stomach.
“Really? You will teach me magic,” he said with a wide smile
“Yes, I will,” said the witch and kissed him on the cheek
“You’ll be punished for eternity for your sins,” said the lord of Krimisha. “Torture him more,” the lord screamed
“Punishment!!...do you even know how to punish souls, or didn’t you got proper teaching?” said a sinner to mock the lord of Krimisha.
“You’ll suffer for every word you say,” said the lord.
“Suffer???...you tell good jokes, lord,” said the sinner, “now admit it, you don’t know how to punish souls here, or you're too weak,” and all the sinner souls started laughing.
The lord of Krimisha turned his face away from them,
How much torment I have to endure, first lord Yama and now these…these filthy, sinful souls, should I request lord Yama to send me back to my previous hell and forgive me for all of my mistakes and sentence me to some other punishment?
“What happened?” asked the sinner, “wait…are you crying…” All the souls started laughing.
“Oh lord,” said another sinner, “you really don’t know what you are doing, you will not believe me, but I have tortured humans with my spells way better than this…I think we should exchange places,” and the sinner started laughing.
“You cannot laugh at me,” said the lord of Krimisha
“And why is that??” asked the sinner, “It is only truth, we have done way more than this with our magic than what you are doing right now”.
I can’t tolerate these souls anymore…wait a second…they said that they were very powerful with their magic while they were on earth, I can’t rule at the place of Lord Yama because other lords will not support me, but I can rule on earth with the help of these souls.
