I do not know how long I was unconscious. All my senses have been nonfunctional. But still my consciousness could feel everything that's going around me. I have heard the stories that how one's body would became immobile as they gone through the Gate's Of Hell. But never heard of it becoming hot and itching like something crawling over? Wait? Something really crawling over me? Where am I? Hold on? It's not cold like I expecting? Is this not Himalayas?

With great difficulty I tried to open my eyes but "Hiss..." I heard a sound which was inviting of a 'BAD' omen. Just as I opened my eyes a big 'Python' slowly climbing over me.

"What a delight, hiss...! I got such bulky human today, hiss...! It's a lucky day for me, hiss...!"

Locking it's eyes with mine it hissed once again happily rejoicing that it found testy food to eat.

"Lucky Day! Like hell!! Oh yeah? This place not hell but earth, right? Like you can eat a Death God! Not in a million chance! Now get off of me right now!!" I commanded it but it's no use. After some time when I finally regained some sense in me.

"You human hisss. Let go of me I'm the brother of the Snake king Cobra Raju, hiss...! I may give you a quicker death than my brother, hiss...!! As soon I grabbed it's head it's hisses in high pitch and I tossed it off me but it kept tried to come at me so, I grabbed it's head.

"How disrespectful, hiss... My Anna save me? Hiss... Let go off me you stupid human, hiss..." It hissed in anger as I grabbed it's head once again. I brought it to my face and said_

"Look you spineless crawling worm🐛... I, Nishindhar. The Death God. The Prince of Naraka (Hell). I am no food you puny earth life could consume. UNDERSTAND!!!" Almost screaming it's brains out. It cringed and tried to get away from my hold but failing at it miserably.

"Now cut your nonsense and tell me where is THIS place?" Receiving an order from me it's temper raised to another level. For it, probably never received commands from anyone.

"You dis-speakable human, hisss... I, the brother of the king of Anathagiri Hil-ssss...!" Before it continued with it's bla...bla...bla... I knocked it off. Any way I got what information I needed. So, this place is Anathagiri Hills huh?" Looking at it now I have surrounded by hills and forest. It's a place filled with nature had the essence of both in spiritually, emotionally.

But, "Enough with touring around! This is Anathagiri Hill's? The Gate's Of Hell were supposed to be opened at Himalayas? And Why am I here? Hold on! Wherever I may be teleported I should have my aura with me which will prevent any living creature from approaching me right...?" It was so confusing but after some deep thinking things over and over again. Reality kicked in me that as the G.O.H (I can not bother saying it in full form every time you know! As a matter of fact...) Were closed so did my powers were switched off too? So, which means I have turned into a normal human being on earth? Than with G.O.H gone I can not go back nor use my powers can I? In an instant my expression took an 180° turn from worry and anxiety to joy and enthusiasm. "Yamaho Yama!!! I am free... Now I can stay here as long I w8sh and do whatever I want to do..." I was screaming in joy.

After I came to conclusion that this is an 'after effect' might be the cause of closing the G.O.H and me using the it at the same time. "If that's the case than I can not become invisible or jump through space and mostly use my powers anymore...? Anyway since I'm here already let's have look around than. Walking out of the forest was... A...? Little? Okay a lot confusing I need a guide. Where can I find a guide in this jungle... "Hiss..." I turned back and found a perfect guide beside the one laying down near the tree scrubs sleeping soundly.

"He-he... Why am I flustered about such minor problem When I have the solution right behind me...!" I walked back and said to the King Cobra "Hey, I don not know what's your name but your lucky. I'm new to this place and I'm in need of a guide. Your timing is good I guess you have enough what it takes to be my guide. So, you have the honor. Now show the way..." I turned around saying, but then I heard it speak. No, more like threaten me.

"Hiss... You human how dare you hit my brother? I'll take your life now" It rapidly approached me to bite which I let it to happen. Two sharp teethes dug into the skin of my right hand pumping the venom into my vein's. After doing so it backed away from me to a safe distance and said laughingly "Serves you right now you will die within 10 minutes, hisss..." I placed my chin on my left hand sat down on rock nearby watching the 'SHOW'...

After 10 minutes later...

"How does it feel, hisss... Death is approaching you with five minutes, hisss..."

A five minutes later...

"Hisss... Every cell within your body might be burning by now. Testing the death. Now even if you beg me to spare you, hisss... there's no way I could help, hisss... Just few minutes more, hisss..."

A few minutes more later...

"Very soon your body going to be limp and you skin will turn into blue color, hisss..."

After...? Huh? A very soon later, maybe?...

"Now...? You'll...?" I could not take this any more and burst out into a historical laugh. Seeing me laugh like that the poor thing cranked into a small ball of a defeated snake.

"Oh! Common. I can not take it anymore this is too much, too funny. Hah aha..."

Seeing me in fit of laughter the 'King Cobra' retreated into an alert mode. "You...? Hisss... You are no human. Who are you, hisss... Why my venom is not working, hisss... I shoot every drop of it into you, hisss... And I am someone who stepped into gods realm, hisss... Why can't I kill you, hisss... What are you, hisss..."

"Oh, now that you have asked, I am 'DEATH' itself. I'm not someone of you level of poison could kill easily..."

"Death' itself? Name, can tell me your name... Your esteemed self...!" It changed it's behavior. I think after unable to kill me it finally came to knowing it's place.

"As I said I'm death, Death God Lord Yama's descendant. Prince Nishindhar."

"Death God...!? Lord Yama...!?..." I let it to take sometime to digest the truth. With a serious look in it's tiny eyes it contemplated the truth. Then spoke in a respective stance "I, Raju I'm with no excuses Your Highness, please do not forgive my nonsensical behavior of attacking Your Highness..."

"Well, it's alright Raju. You did for your brother anyway and I can feel the aura of celestial god from you?"

"Yes, although I was achieved my current powers just recently, I'm still 758 years old and far from reaching the level true celestial,.!"

"Age doesn't matter. Despite being from a different race you stand for that stupid who is sleeping soundly over their, that's loyalty is far more than enough and no need to call me 'Your Highness' all the time one or other way we're both might be cousins so call me Nishin Anna' too"

Hearing me it widened it's tiny eyes a little bigger and with heartfelt gratitude it said "I am truly honored" Just than the python woke up from it's slumber. Right after it woke up, it saw that I'm totally fine from top to bottom jogging it's head up and down. It turned it's head towards the...!? Raju (King Cobra) It shouted historically at his brother...

"Hisss...My brother, hisss... Why is this, hisss... Disgraceful, hisss... Human is, hisss... Still alive, hisss..." It was almost in tears and it;'s too funny than before.

"Shut up, hisss... You useless prick, hisss... Don't you know who you should and should not pick a fight with, hisss... He no longer an enemy, hisss... He's our Anna from this day and forth, hisss..." Raju severely scolded the python as the poor thing could not understand why it's brother is angry at him rather than at me.

When they are done Raju said facing me "Nishin Anna' you said that your new here and need a guide, hisss... I have traveled all over the INDIA, hisss... Where do want to go first, hisss...?"

"INDIA? Where is that place!?" I asked as the name was a little new.

"Hisss... It's what they call 'BHARATH' currently in 21st century, hisss..."

"21st century!? 'Kaliyoogh' is too young, forget about walking it did not even started you crawling and yet they have already changed the name of this sacred place. UNSPEAKABLE?" What do they know about 'Bharath' Ignorant fools.

"Hisss... That's how 'Kaliyoogh' and the worst things are about to come, hisss... So, Anna' so, hisss...?!"

"Do you want to know why and what am I doing here on earth!?"

"Hisss... Yesss..."

I explained from beginning to end. They both listening with great interest. Their eyes reflected every emotion that went through their heart. This really made think that it's not just funny but also a lot endearing.

"So, I'm going stay for a long time till the Gate's OF Hell are opened and you might need to tag along with me on this most hilarious and thrilling journey with me which means you have to leave this place" I said and waited for few seconds before continuing "Look Raju I'm not forcing you. You can decide for yourself, and I will compile with your wishes. Now choice is yours... What are you going to do, stay here or come with me leaving everything behind?"

Raju was in deep thought 💭' and I am patient as if I have all the time in the world.

"Hisss... I am willing to go on this adventures journey with you brother, hisss..."

"Hisss... Brother?, hisss..." The python was dejected that it's brother wanted to leave.

"Hisss... Don't worry about you do know that I started traveling since way long back and this it's far different from back than and I have a responsibility for you and that is you are going to care of this place behalf me, Okay..."

"Hisss... Okay, hisss..." I watched them behaving like true brothers that's really sweet though.

"Then Raju shall we go." With out most care I picked up my guide. The blazing Sun God my great Grandfather's father have been paying too much attention at me perhaps it's too hot and I'm sweating like crazy which oozing out non-stop.

"Yeah,. I know my Great Ancestor it's wrong of me doing J-O-T-W. But you must understand that how much I wanted to visit earth. Can't you give a little leniency to you loving grandson, pretty please🥺" I tried to coax him but just like Lord Surya' he sticks with his rules.

"Hisss... it's not that much hot is it?" Raju said. I looked down on to my left shoulder where he laying and Sigh...

"Can we find a lake or something?" The second I asked the question Raju replayed.

"Hisss... There is a water fall which should be there, hisss... If not a lake will sure be their, hisss..."

"Really! What are we waiting for, let's go..." Suddenly I felt like energized just from thinking about taking a bath in waterfalls.

Walked throughout a thick forest are light lovely whispers of waterfalls welcomed me with enthusiasm. "Hisss... Can you hear it? We are getting close Anna, hisss..."

"Yes...!" Pushing through the scrubs I find my way to the falls... "IT'S BEAUTIFUL..."

In 'Naraka' we do have one called 'Vaitharani' but they are different in nature, I guess...!"

Hearing the name 'Vaitharani' Raju flinched and said in a mono-tone "Hisss... My dear Anna please don't try to compare them, hisss... Of 'course it would be a big epidemic if they are not different, hisss..."

I slightly chuckled at him and begin prepare for long nice bath.

I spent the whole afternoon in the water and Raju had his fun too. By the time of quarter 5, as Lord Sun getting ready set and rise on the other side of the earth. Oh! we need to get going. I dressed up and got ready to begin our adventure.

"Hisss... Anna?, Can I ask you something, hisss..." Said Raju.

"Hmm... What is it?" Not minding him as my focus is all over my surroundings.

"Hisss... Do- you, hisss... Do you have money?, hisss..." He hesitantly asked me.

"Oh! I do have...? I have hunch that they may not be sufficient fir all our living expenses, am I right?" All my excitement gone in an instant.

"Hisss... I guessed right, hisss... We need do something to earn money somehow, hisss..."

"Something means... Like street performers!?" I said and Raju immediately rejected the idea. Soon we both ended up in a heated debate on what and how we're going to earn money without realizing we walked into human territory.

Suddenly Raju became quiet for some reasons, odd reasons, he kept staring at a certain direction.

"So, Raju what do you think about working under some...? Raju...? Are you their...?" With no response I searched through my long coat whether he's still there with me.

"Oh! He's their! Raju...?" After I felt him I literally screamed at him waking him up from his daze.

"Hisss... What? Who? Oh! Brother it's just you, hisss..." He was startled by shouting through mind link.

"What are you looking at?" I chuckled at his reaction.

"Hisss... Looks like there going to be a break for our path of money making, hisss..." His voiced carried a bit of anxiety.

"What? What break!?" I asked.

"Hisss... Sir Modi has announced the beginning of the 'LOCKDOWN', hisss..." He said with heaviness.

"LOCKDOWN!?!?..." I repeated again as my mind may not processes it well.
