Fiction based on the digital art of @xpilar | End of injustice
There was a small settlement of fishermen on the beach. One day while the fishermen were going fishing, they saw an old man standing in the water. He was shaking hands, saying, "Don't go, stop, the storm is coming, you'll drown!"
Nobody had ever seen that old man before. Most fishermen understood, perhaps someone has gone here by wandering mad. They went ahead with their boats. They were laughing at the old man. But some fishermen were affected by old talk and they did not go fishing. After a while there was a really big storm. The departed fishermen did not return - they were drowned in the grip of the storm.
Now the people of the township understood the heart of warning of the old. They all gathered together and went to find him. He was sitting on the beach. On seeing the settlers, he said, "I had already refused those people. It is good to pay attention to a person older than yourself. ”
The old man built a hut on a rock and lived there. The fishermen also decided that they would take every warning of the old age ahead.
Every prediction of old was correct. He used to tell many days ago that a storm would come at this time. Then none of the fishermen of that settlement got trapped in the storm.
Soon his fame spread far and wide, now even the captains of big ships started coming to him for advice about the weather.
Everyone was surprised how his predictions came out so accurately. Some people started spying on him where he goes, what he does. But nothing could be known. Used to sit on the beach all day. Nobody saw him coming and going anywhere.
The king of that region also heard about the old man. He was an arrogant and ruthless king. He thought of taking advantage of the strange power of old. He had enmity with the king of Shami Island in those days. He thought - the old man can be very useful when attacking Shami Island. In the last invasion, our Navy was caught in a severe storm. If we get the right weather information before the attack, we can win.
The commander was well aware of the king's anger. He knew that if something happened to the old man, then his life was not good. He immediately sent a soldier to the king, because the condition of the old man was not worth traveling. The rest took care of the old. There was a pond nearby. A soldier ran and brought water
There was magic in the water. The old man opened his eyes after drinking water. The shadow blackness on his face also diminished. But still the danger was not averted.
The messenger and the horse rushed to the king's camp. The king also got scared on hearing this. He immediately went with the soldier to see the old man.
On seeing the old man, the king understood that it would not live long. This is the chance. If its secret is not known now, it will never be known again. He said in a sweet voice, 'Look, you are at the door of death. Now you should tell your secret. ''
The king got angry. He pulled out the sword. He said to the commander, 'Catch the devil! I'll just behead it. "
The soldiers jumped into the water, but the old man did not come. He had gone far enough in the water.
The king was not amused seeing this. He jumped into the water with a sword. As soon as he jumped, he got trapped in the bushes growing under pond. He flopped too much to get out, but could not come out. The soldiers came to save him, but the king sank before he arrived.
The old man laughed loudly and laughed for a long time. Then said to the general, "This is the end of injustice and ignorance."
The very next moment the soldiers noticed that the old had disappeared into the water. They stood for a long time, but then the old man did not come out of the water.
After that no one saw the old man. People would often visit his hut that he might have returned. But he did not return. There were various stories related to him which are going on till today.
