The Journey Of A Savior 1 The Arrival

It had been very quiet after the thunderstorm. Not even a single leaf could've been found fluttering. It seemed like even the wind was tired of moving around.

The silence just broke by someone's rapid footsteps. There was someone running very fast. He was running as though his life depended on it. He wasn't in good shape. His upper part of the body was drenched in blood. There were marks of heavy wounds on his chest and stomach and, yet he was carrying an infant in his arm.

Not very far, a low screeching voice was heard and a mysteriously outlandish looking portal appeared out of nowhere. There were some ten to fifteen inexplicable, sword and spear wielding soldiers, who came out from that portal. They were wearing helmets and battle armors on their bodies. If a normal person were to see them he would've thought that either they were shooting a historical drama or a period movie.

"Where is he? Look for him. He must be here somewhere." A bearded soldier ordered them in loud voice. He had a nefarious looking long scar on his face. Imposing from his demeanor it was obvious that he was the leader of this group.

"Pardon my interruption but are you sure that we are in the same planet as him, sir? We've been chasing him for a long time now." An ominous looking soldier bowed and asked in a very polite manner. His manner of asking at this moment didn't suit his persona.

"Why, do you doubt me now? I have been tracking him all the way from TEJAS. I admit that I'm not as good as him in a one on one fight, but I can say that there is no person in the whole BHAGEERATHI galaxy, who can hide themselves from me."

"That's why his highness allocated this mission to me. Now stop your blabbering and go find him. We should kill him and the boy otherwise none of us will be able to live after returning. And one thing you should keep in your mind that if you managed to find him, never engage alone. You all aren't a match to him." Leader answered.

"But General, he is wounded right now." Another soldier asked.

"He's wounded?" Leader grinned. "He's the legendary General sent by heavens to protect BHAGEERATHI galaxy. People called him 'Immortal General' for a reason. That kind of wound is nothing for him and you should know that a wounded lion will be more dangerous than a dragon. If you find him, just flash the signal and I'll be there to suppress him." Leader said with a frown on his face.

He brought out a bag from his storage bracelet and rubbed it lightly." This should be an extraordinary item if it can hold back the ex general. His highness gave it to me to restrain him. If I can manage to keep this with myself, I will be invincible among those other Generals. I should complete this mission very nicely. Only that way I can get this stone as a reward." Leader's lips curved slightly upwards while he thought about this. At this moment everyone scattered to find the ex General.

"So, they have followed me till here. I've got no time left. I've got to shake them off my tail." the wounded guy stopped in an alley and looked around after hearing the tap sound of running footsteps. He looked fatigued. It felt like he was on his limits and he could collapse any time.

The sound of footsteps became louder and louder. It meant that they were closing on. The wounded guy's face sank after hearing that. He was sweating too much and all that sweat was pouring into his wounds. He was enduring everything while panting heavily. He had a mission given to him by his majesty himself. He had to complete the given task. He couldn't give up now.

After resting for a moment, he picked himself up and ran. While running, his eyes stopped at an old looking building across the alley. The building was made up of mostly wood and clay, but it looked very grand. He stopped himself and looked at the nameplate of the building.

"An orphanage! Perfect." His eyes were glowing after seeing that nameplate like he was thirsty for days and now he has seen a water source. He looked at the boy in his arm again and said, "I've failed your parents once, but I can't fail you now."

He brought out a basket from his storage bracelet and put the baby into that and then he ran towards the front of the building. He put the basket down at the doorstep of the orphanage. He turned to the baby and said "Don't worry, my prince. You'll be alright here. No one will be able to pose a threat to you for quite a while. You should enjoy your life. I'll come back when the time will be right. Farewell, my Prince."

He turned his head to the other side and murmured to himself "Now I should make them pay for making me run for all this time." A Sinister smile was forming on his face. He turned back to the direction where he came from.

This baby was going to bring peace to all the realms one day, who could tell from seeing him laying into the basket very comfortably on the doorsteps of that orphanage. On this day he was just an ordinary baby looking at the red sky peacefully with his crystal azure eyes like he didn't have any care about how he lost his entire world last night.

He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He should've led his life in the most peaceful way possible but at this moment not even a seer can predict the number of difficulties he will face in his upcoming life.

He was going to make his own destiny. He will have to, because he was already a savior to billions of people by coming into this world. Their hopes and dreams of freedom and independence rested on his tiny shoulders.
