The Sword in Hand But Vincent on Remand!

Prompt 5

Second Branch

Chosen Question is:

Where is the original sword?

 (Vincent needs it to open the portal)

 

Vincent Uncle was in deep sleep. In his dreamland he heard somebody calling ‘Vincent Uncle.. Vincent Uncle..’. In the dream Charu was murmuring ‘Mr.Vincent! An ‘Eureka’ call for you! Listen!’ For some time the voice echoed through various objects and images like radiation, electro magnetic waves, Sword, William..

‘Shutup’ he shouted and voice slowly went in air. A big hospital was spreading over in front of him and there were patients who confusingly resembled Martha, William, his professional assistants, Charu.. All found in same bed one over the other. ‘What nonsense it is’ he shouted and ordered. The beds were set right. One bed came nearer to him and he found Charu in the bed. ‘Uncle I will sleep in your sleep. Can I?’. Uncle Vincent tried to speak but he couldn’t. Charu super imposed in himself and started sleeping deeply.

 

Almost at the same time, Charu was in the deepest Dream-in-Sleep-in-Dream-in-Sleep-in-Dream! Charu was travelling. She didn’t know from where to where she was travelling. But she was travelling. She didn’t know the mode of travel. But she was travelling. She never ever travelled in such a speed. But she was travelling. She or her entire body was shivering and trembling. But the travel continued. Somebody was driving the mode of travel. But it could not be realised who was driving. It looked like Yuvaan. In another moment it resembled Ruth. In yet another moment it flashed the sorrowful – beautiful face of the woman in the abstract painting - which she saw in cover of the fifth book she purchased in the old book shop in kochine - with no eyes but with tears, nose and lips. All of a sudden she could also see the face of Vincent Uncle.

The journey never ended. Charu could see Sheryl or herself disguised as a ghost. The thought of ghost made her to feel as if she is travelling via a graveyard where innumerous cemeteries existed. In that tremendous speed of travel, she could see the flash of certain words from certain cemeteries. Suddenly one such reading flashed

‘SWORD - MV02FK09’

Charu ordered in the biggest of her voice: S T O P

Everything stood still. No air flown. No trees moved. The entire world became noiseless. No shivering or trembling. No movement. No driving faces to see. Charu searches the Cemetery. ‘Uh.. there it is!!’

‘SWORD - MV02FK09’

born 15th century – buried 21st century

 

Charu is thrilled. No one nearby. Everything motionless. Her eyes searches. She finds a ‘mamotee’ nearby and starts to dig the cemetery by herself. At that time she feels as if Vincent Uncle stood nearby and asks her ‘Hey Charu.. what are you doing..’. She ignores and continues her targeted task. At last she finds a shining ‘velvet’ cloth with top and bottom sides wound and pasted with a metallic rod. On an attempt to read its content, Charu can see the inscribed words:

Go to forest A – Collide with R – Lift the S and open the portal between the two worlds C and U

 

‘Eureka.. Eureka…’ Charu started shouting and at the same time the journey restarted with the same vigour and speed. The shivering and trembling Charu was lifted up and down on the bed and got slipped out of the cot, with the continued shouting ‘Eureka.. Vincent Uncle.. Eureka..’. The medical staff rushed in and reset everything wondering ‘what for is this Eureaka and who is Vincent Uncle!’

In Egypt, Vincent Uncle got up vibrantly.

Go to forest A – Collide with R – Lift the S and open the portal between the two worlds C and U

These words ran fast in his mind. The major portion of the dream was converted into fumes except these words and Charu.

Vincent called all his assistants. It was a gathering of about ten of his assistants. He gave the synopsis of the context and ordered them to start decoding the big phrase

Go to forest A – Collide with R – Lift the S and open the portal between the two worlds C and U

immediately.

The work started at jet-speed. All the search engines of the cyber world were put under intense use. After considering various permutations and combinations, the phrase was decoded as follows:

Go to forest A – Forest refers to the Amazon Forest

Collide with R - ‘R’ refers to the ‘Robbers’, popularly

       known as ‘The Ethinic Jungle Monsters’

Lift the S  - Steal away and escape silently with the

        SWORD from there

Open the portal } open the portal between the two worlds, 

between the two } the conscious and the unconscious

worlds C and U } one that existed even after one died.

The full meaning of the phrase was decoded as:

‘The Ethinic Jungle Monsters’ were one among various dangerous groups of Robbers with forests as their hideouts. Generation after generation, they carry on this task. Their main focus was the ethnic and historically popular treasures and monuments. They normally reside in the unreachable deepest areas of the darkest portion of the forests. Due to the difficulty in accessibility and the various dangers involved, only a few times in a year these robbers venture out with perfect plans and loot the historically important monuments or treasures and return back to their hideouts from where they departed. It was also found from the searches conducted by the assistants, that the ‘Original Sword’ that was in search by Vincent Uncle was looted from its original location and was then available in the collection godown of the ‘The Ethinic Jungle Monsters’ which was in the Amazon forest.

Uncle Vincent created a master plan. He utilised his complete ability to collect exact information from his circle of intellectuals around the world. He reviewed his plan by putting it on the paper.

The plan of actions were as followed:

Uncle Vincent shall reach the ‘wormhole entry’ of the Amazon’s Forest on the upcoming Friday.

He will wait for the loot-members of ‘The Ethinic Jungle Monsters’ group to reach the ‘wormhole entry’ on the way of their return after the loot.

Without their knowledge he will join them and go along.

May take three days to reach the destination – and hence he should go prepared.

Second day the gang – and Vincent Uncle – will reach ‘The Point of Tigers’. They will take rest. Vincent shall hide himself from them and take rest.

Next day they – and Vincent Uncle – will reach ‘The Point of Hell’. Ready to face the untoward and be prepared to manage in the path.

Next day they – and Vincent Uncle – will reach the ‘Monster Bay’ where the gang reside. The gang will enter the ‘Collection Godown’ to unload the loots, and Vincent Uncle also enters the godown along with them.

Before entering, they will enchant the ‘code of manthra’ to open the door of the Collection Godown. Uncle Vincent shall follow the manthra, swallow it, observe it, note it! If he forgets, that will be his dooms day.

The entire gang will exit the godown, chant the door closing manthra (which again Uncle Vincent shall follow, swallow observe, and note!

Uncle Vincent shall stay in. Let them depart. Let them close the doors of the godown. Then start his search and find his target – the ’Original Sword’!

Uncle Vincent shall chant the Manthra code from inside. The Godown Door will Open. He shall come out.

And then ESCAPE!

Before departing Uncle Vincent called his ten assistants and told them to select four among themselves to be ready for a call in executing the plan ‘Operation Amazon’. He told that, if within seven days of his departure, he did not return, all those four should venture in to the forest.

Evan, Vista, Inker and Lara came forward.

‘Good! I am departing right now!’

Uncle Vincent’s Amazon Forest Adventures need a separate story pack to elaborate. To be brief, it is to be mentioned, that, his plan of action was absolutely problem-free till the point that he found the Original Sword inside; Chanted the Manthra code from inside; The Godown Door Opened; And his coming out!

But, when he came out he was surrounded by a big killer gang of the ‘The Ethinic Jungle Monsters’.

Uncle Vincent was Shocked. But fortunately he knew the procedures of the gang. They will definitely sacrifice him to their Goddess on the seventh day. Uncle Vincent had no other alternative, but to wait for the four Evan, Vista, Inker and Lara! He calculated and found that the FOUR may reach exactly on the day of his massacre in the name of sacrifice.

Uncle Vincent was waiting for Evan, Vista, Inker and Lara (E.. V.. I.. L.. – EVIL)!!!
