Riyaaz wielded his dagger,slashing his opponent on the shoulder."Prayag!On your right!"He shouted to his best friend over the noise of clanging metal.They were fighting some masked men in armors,who were defending themselves with ancient looking shields.
Blood was being shed,both the sides fought bravely, but the Vyaghras,literally the tigers,seemed to know what they were doing and were more skilled.The tiger warriors suddenly retreated,taking away their dead and injured with them.
Riyaaz and his men were not prepared for anything like this.They found it unbelievable that the vyaghras existed,because they were rumored to be bandits who did not want anything to do with the modern world.They were tall,and muscular,and the area on the side of their eyes glowed golden,even through the black cloth they draped over their face.
They managed to kill nearly half the number of their enemies,but surprisingly didn't hurt Riyaaz even when they had the chance.

Everything came to a standstill,as the men waited for the deadbody to be brought there,their curiosity showing on their faces.The crowd let out a gasp as Riyaaz undid the draping on his head.The head of a screw was embedded into the flesh,emanating a glow,and it looked like hot lava has been poured into his temples.It was said that it was a vaccination,to prevent diseases.The rumour is true,then...
They cremated the body in their village.Known for its stunning beauty,which was enhanced tenfold due to the Hiranya river,the Shreni village left anybody spellbound.
Riyaaz looked down and scooped up his son,laughing heartily.'Papa!More volume!Come on!"the boy said,pinching his father's...
