Chapter 23 - CHAPTER 23: IMMORTALITY

Like a God he stood before Rei. That moment, that instant, the sun was setting, the sky was red, the crescent moon on its rise with the subtle shine on the East, he felt the meaning of the word that he never understood, "fear". 

The experience of death brings out fear, the ones who give in to that fear get enveloped by death. However, the once destroy the very concept of fear when they are right before it are said to be immortal. 

A man will die, the true meaning of immortal doesn't mean to cheat death, but to destroy it every time it comes near you. 

"Were the stars always meant to rise in the sky? did they beg for it? did they earn it? the fact is that I know neither. And now I feel like I am losing, I am being enveloped by death. It has happened several times but I destroyed it and took on the whole army of the Licchavis and gave their king the feeling of fear. He got subjugated by it and lost that moment. He was enveloped by it, I evaded it. What would happen to a man who has destroyed it several times. And now Its standing right before me?", thought Rei. 

Narendra rose his right leg to stamp on Rei's chest and destroy his heart with his legs. However, Rei was talking to death that right before him, he didn't do anything.

Narendra stamped on his chest, breaking through his ribs, the blood gushing out, and finally reaching his heart. Crushing it. 

The setting sun radiated its sympathies on the blood. Its redness signifying the blood, for the soul to rest in peace. 

The sun slowly set into the horizon and before Rei stood Narendra, beast under the moonlight. 

He was possessed by something else, when destroyed the very concept of death he was subjugated. 

He slowly started to walk away, the moon was slowly being covered by the rainy clouds. 

The leaves started to flutter, due to the wind and received the first drop. 

That moment, in the downpour Narendra pondered," What if a man becomes that much capable of destroying the concept of death that he can go to the level of defying it."

"Never thought it would rain today," Said Rei who had already become a corpse.
