Tendula:- Oh! My God! For the first time in my life, I killed
a mermale.
Maradon:- It is just an act of self-defense. Don’t feel
guilty about it.
Panduram:- Arindam, we have killed all those warriors of
Kakrasa who tried to kill you in the name of medical treatment. Now, enter
inside the Royal Palace of Tabernia like a true champion.
Arindam:- The body armor made of Shark’s skin is really a
good body armor. Special thanks to Tendula and to you two also.
************************************************************************
Monduka:- Your Highness! There is a bad news. One mermale has
survived in the Swayambar Contest.
Kakrasa:- Oh! No! How is it possible? I want detailed
information about that mermale and his family backgrounds.
***********************************************************************
General Damus:- Wow! God is gracious! Finally, we have got a
groom for our beautiful Princess Mirinda. I request all the spectators out here
to give a big round of applause for our champion mermale, Arindam. Arindam has
won the Swayambar Contest. Congratulations, Princess Mirinda, at last, you have
won the battle against Emperor Kakrasa.
Princess Mirinda:- Thanks a lot, General Uncle. This mermale
is smart and handsome. I am feeling myself very lucky now.
King Fola (whispering at his wife):- See! I told you earlier
that my sixth sense was always telling me that someone is surely going to win
this Swayambar Contest. My daughter, my little sweetheart will be very happy
with that mermale.
Queen Lucy (in an angry mood):- Oh! You are such a nut! That
mermale is not a prince of any kingdom. Look at Vikrant! Vikrant is the son of
Emperor Kakrasa. Had you accepted the marriage proposal made by Vikrant for
marrying your daughter two years back, then by now itself, we would have got
some important posts in the cabinet ministry of Emperor Kakrasa.
King Fola:- Had Mirinda married Vikrant two years back, then
by now, my daughter would have either killed Vikrant or committed suicide or
both. You are always hungry about power and jewels. That’s a material life. It
has no value at all. You married me to enjoy power and social status. You never
loved me like a true lover. But, at least, I am proud of our daughter because
she is not a selfish mermaid like you.
Queen Lucy:- I am a selfish mermaid. Uuh! Just go to hell.
Don’t forget that if that winner marries your daughter, then you will have to spend
your remaining life as a prisoner of Kakrasa.
King Fola:- I don’t care about it. When my daughter is happy,
I am happy; no matter, where I am. I am not only a King of the Tabernia
Kingdom, but a kind-hearted and caring father also. By the way; if I go to the
Xolariv prison of Emperor Kakrasa, then you will become the Queen of Tabernia
Kingdom. You must feel happy about it. Anyway, let me not waste any time. Let
me start the proceedings of my daughter’s marriage. Hey, Damus, make the
announcement of my daughter’s marriage.
General Damus:- As you wish, Your Highness! All the mermales
and mermaids present here, please pay attention. Today, just after the sunset,
we will have the marriage ceremony of our Princess Mirinda and Mermale Arindam.
All the decorators, musicians and Hydro electricians are hereby requested to
decorate the Royal Palace of Tabernia like a true Paradise of Love.
Kakrasa:- Wait! Our spies have got the information that the
mermale Arindam belongs to Jatikano community. As per the traditional marriage
rules of our species, a mermaid of Rajakya community cannot get married to a
mermale of Jatikano community.
King Fola:- Arindam, is it true that you belong to Jatikano
community.
Arindam:- Yes, Your Highness! I belong to the Jatikano
community.
King Fola (whispering at General Damus):- Damus, I am
confused now. As a very conservative mermale, I don’t want a mermale of Jatikano
community to become my son-in-law but on the other hand, I don’t want to make
my daughter’s married life a nightmare by making Vikrant as my son-in-law.
General Damus (whispering at King Fola):- Your Highness!
Change is Constant! You have to accept this brutal truth. In this scenario, had
I been in your place, I would have accepted the champion mermale as the future
husband of Princess Mirinda. I just gave you my viewpoint. Ultimately, the
decision is yours only.
King Fola:- All the mermales and mermaids here; please be
silent. I have an important announcement to make. Despite knowing about the
fact that Arindam belongs to the Jatikano community, I have decided that
Princess Mirinda will get married to Arindam only. I am ready to accept any
punishment from Emperor Kakrasa regarding this matter.
Kakrasa:- Well; it is easier said than done, King Fola. As
Arindam is a mermale of Jatikano community, he has to pass another test. If he
passes that test, then he can surely marry Princess Mirinda.
King Fola:- Arindam, are you prepared to take another test or
will you withdraw?
Arindam:- No, I will take the test.
Kakrasa:- Good! Just around 80 Kilometers from here to the
north-western region, there is a place called Megunaz. You have to bring one
Evol flower for Princess Mirinda if you really want to marry her.
Princess Mirinda:- What! I have strong objections to it.
Kakrasa:- Sorry! Little Princess! The rule is rule. It is
just another extra round of your Swayambar Contest. Had Markov been alive,
there would have been a tie-breaker round with Arindam. Just regard it like
that type of a round only.
Princess Mirinda:- Ok! Emperor! Then, I also have one
condition. If Arindam succeeds in bringing the Evol flower to me, then you
cannot take my father as a prisoner of your Xolariv prison even if I get
married to Arindam.
Kakrasa:- You are a very smart mermaid. Ok! I agree to these
terms and conditions.
Vikrant:- Arindam, you have to start your journey now only.
King Fola:- Arindam is already tired. I suggest that you
order him to start his journey towards Megunaz tomorrow morning. Till then,
Arindam will remain as a guest in our Royal Guest House.
Vikrant:- Ok! Not an issue! Arindam, remember another thing.
We have arrested all your three friends. We will release them if and only if
you return to Tabernia Kingdom with an Evol flower.
Arindam:- Vikrant, one day, you and your father may have to
pay heavily for your cruelty.
Kakrasa:- You don’t need to think about us, poor mermale. Let
us make this round tougher. You are starting your journey tomorrow. You have to
come back here with that Evol flower before the sunset of day after tomorrow. So,
in total, you can hardly afford to have a rest of around 2 to 3 hours only.
Keep on swimming, poor mermale. Best of luck!
*********************************************************************************
Finnie (One of the childhood friends of Princess Mirinda):-
Hi, I am Finnie. How are you feeling in this Royal Guest House of Tabernia.
Arindam:- Oh! Yeah! Absolutely fine! This is a nice guest
house to live in. But, I have seen three of you in the front row of spectators’
seats during the Swayambar Contest. You are Finnie, but what’s the name of
other two mermaids?
Susan (One of the childhood friends of Princess Mirinda):- I
am Susan and she is Nancy.
Nancy (One of the childhood friends of Princess Mirinda):- Our
Princess Mirinda wants to meet you in her private room. So, we have come to
take you there, but, secretly. There are many spies of Emperor Kakrasa here and
there. Come on! Don’t utter a single word now.
***********************************************************************************
Princess Mirinda:- Hi, I am Mirinda.
Arindam:- Yeah! I know that. But, why have you called me in
your private room now. It is midnight now.
Princess Mirinda:- Take this locket and wear it on your neck.
Arindam:- What! What kind of a locket is this? The word,
‘Megunaz’ is written on the locket.
Princess Mirinda:- Exactly! There is also a special tiny ruby
attached with the locket. It is a very special locket. Megunaz is a lovely
place. It has a lovely scenic beauty. But, it is also a restricted place. You
cannot go beyond a certain region in Megunaz. I went there once with my friends
as a tourist. You are smart and brave. Best of luck to you! That’s all. You can
go now.
Arindam:- I am still confused. Anyway, if I fail to pluck
that Evol flower, there is no point in coming back here. I will straightaway go
back home from there itself.
Princess Mirinda:- Provided if you fail. Go now. Good night.
Arindam:- Good night, Princess.
***********************************************************************************
Dobla (Winston’s Assistant):- Sir, have you read the
headlines of today’s newsleaves?
Winston (Union Leader of all the Unions of Jatikano
Community):- Kakarasa’s warriors have kept three innocent mermales of Jatikano
Community in the Xolariv prison. Plucking an Evol flower is not an easy task.
Moreover, to go to Megunaz from Tabernia Kingdom by the shortest route, one has
to cross through our Oprestonia Kingdom. I want to have a glimpse of this brave
mermale.
Dobla:- Our King Criston belongs to a hybrid community. His
mother was of Jatikano community and his father belonged to Pitrala community.
Moreover, King Criston always demanded to keep our Oprestonia Kingdom outside
the control of Emperor Kakrasa, though he failed against Emperor Kakrasa after
so many protests.
Winston:- Sometimes, I wonder, why I have kept you as my
assistant. Don’t beat around the bushes. Just say directly what you want to
say.
Dobla:- Only our Oprestonia Kingdom has a battalion of
Blade-Fishes and Piranhas. This battalion is totally controlled by the Magician
Mombaura, the magical mermale. We can easily break the Xolariv prison.
Winston:- Forget about breaking the Xolariv prison for the
time being. Send someone to give the information to Zwala that if he protects
that special mermale from any danger, then we may try to break the Biggendo
prison of Kylowga Kingdom.
********************************************************************************
Vikrant:- Hardly, anyone goes to that restricted area of
Megunaz. Till date, I have heard of only 3 mermales who have been able to come
back alive after plucking those Evol flowers, but, none of them have been able
to swim with that Evol flower for more than half an hour or so. But, we cannot
take a chance in case of Arindam. That smart mermale is very tricky in nature.
Install some of our warriors at the outer gateway of Lingolia Kingdom. After
crossing Oprestonia Kingdom, it is Lingolia Kingdom and at the outskirts of
Lingolia Kingdom, it is the Megunaz. Just beyond the Megunaz, it is the Kylowga
Kingdom. Arindam is not a fool to come back through the Kylowga kingdom. He will
come back through Lingolia Kingdom only as it is the shortest route. If
possible, take the help of King Ragamoah’s warriors in Lingolia to kill
Arindam, if he succeeds in returning back from Megunaz with that Evol flower.
After killing him, throw his dead body at Megunaz itself. All the mermales
should think that Arindam has died while plucking that Evol flower.
General Monduka:- Don’t worry! Prince Vikrant. Arindam will
not survive at any cost.
*********************************************************************************
Octopus Olympus (A Guard of the restricted area of Megunaz):-
How dare you! Go back from here; else, we will kill you.
Arindam:- My goodness! I thought that you are just a colorful
coral. You are expert in changing your colors. I must appreciate that.
Octopus Olympus:- Thanks for the compliments, but, we will
not allow you to go beyond this point. Why have you come here?
Arindam:- I have come here to pluck an Evol flower.
Octopus Olivia (Wife of Octopus Olympus):- They are poisonous
flowers. If you don’t know the art of plucking that flower, you will die. All
these Evol plants control the temperature of the Sea World. If you pluck a
single Evol flower, then there will be either an increase or decrease of 0.5
degree Celsius automatically. That’s why; our ancestors have been guarding this
Evol flowers and we are also into this profession. The stems of Evol flowers
secrete a special type of juice. If you collect those juices and keep it inside
a fully covered conch-shell, then that conch shells look like a golden locket
after a week.
Arindam:- I am not interested in those fairy tales. Move
back, else, I will kill you. Beware of my sword.
Octopus Olympus:- Ok! Mermale! Let us have a fight.
Arindam:- Then, here I go!
Octopus Olympus:- Oh! You failed to strike at my body. Now,
it is my turn.
Octopus Olivia:- Stop it! I said stop fighting. Both of you
stop fighting please.
Octopus Olympus:- Have you gone crazy, Olivia. It is our duty
to protect the restricted area of Megunaz from any destroyers. We can even die
for that. Look there, all the Octopuses are eagerly waiting to kill this
mermale. If I order them, they will all attack this mermale.
Octopus Olivia:- Look at this locket at the neck of this
mermale. We gave this special locket to someone. Do you remember? Few years
back, our son Octavian went out of this restricted area while playing with a
shoal of fishes. A sword fish attacked our son as he was of a very small size
at that time. A mermaid who was on a tour in Megunaz with some of her friends
killed that Sword fish with her sword to save Octavian. For her bravery, we
gifted to her a special locket. Do you remember?
Octopus Olympus:- Yes, how can I forget that? But, how come
that special locket is at your neck, mermale?
Arindam:- Princess Mirinda gave me this locket. As per the
new rules of the Swayambar Contest, if I can gift an Evol flower to the
Princess Mirinda, then I will become eligible to marry her.
Octopus Olivia:- Don’t worry; you will surely get an Evol
flower. Let there be a little fluctuation in the temperature of Sea World.
Wait! You don’t need to pluck an Evol flower. There is a technique to pluck it.
If you pluck an Evol flower in a wrong technique, then its petals emit out a
poisonous juice to kill you. Only the Octopus species is immune to that
poisonous juice, though too much poisonous juice makes us senseless sometimes
for 1 or 2 days. I will pluck it for you and then I will wrap it up with the
special Boozol leaves. The poisonous juice remains active in the petals of an
Evol flower for around 2 hours from the time of plucking it. The Boozol leaves
secretes out a special juice after its plucking and it makes a neutralized
chemical reaction with the poisonous juice of Evol flower to make the yellow
colored Evol flower a very sweet and harmless flower. Just wait here for a
while.
***************************************************************************
Octopus Olivia:- Here is your Evol flower wrapped under
Boozol leaves. I have tied the Boozol leaves with the special Srenity sea
grasses. So, it is very hard to open it now. I suggest you not to open the wrap
even out of extreme curiosity while swimming. If you do that, you may die. Open
the wrap only after reaching your destination. By that time, Evol flower will
become a romantic flower for you and your Princess Mirinda.
Octopus Olympus:- This is our sweet son, Octavian. Octavian,
say hello to your mermale uncle.
Octopus Octavian:- Hello! Mermale Uncle!
Arindam:- I have a name dear. My name is Arindam. Anyway, thanks to you all for giving a great
co-operation to me. I would have liked to spend some more time with you all,
but, I have to reach my destination before tomorrow’s sunset.
Octopus Olympus:- Oh! Yeah! We understand that. No hard
feelings, Arindam. Best of luck to you!
Octopus Olivia:- Arindam, if possible, please give a sweet
kiss to Princess Mirinda on my behalf and tell her that Octavian will always be
grateful to his sweet mermale aunty, Mirinda.
Arindam:- Sure! Sure! Surely, I will pass on these messages.
Good bye! Guards of Megunaz!
Olympus and Olivia:- Good bye, dear.
**************************************************************************************
General Monduka:- It is an order from our Emperor Kakrasa
that your warrior should help our warriors to kill that mermale.
General Greg (Army General of King Ragamoah):- Your Highness!
You order us what to do. Generally, we are not in favor of killing innocent
mermales.
King Ragamoah (King of Lingolia Kingdom):- Orders are Orders!
I am not an Emperor, just a King. Follow the orders of Emperor Kakrasa for the
time being.
General Greg:- As you wish, Your Highness!
************************************************************************************
Arindam (talking to himself):- Oh! No! Kakrasa’s warriors are
after me now. Oh! Mirinda! You gave me the locket but you failed to give me the
information that Kakrasa’s warriors will try to kill me on my return journey. I
am missing my childhood friends in this scenario. Oh! Come on! Arindam! There
is no running away from it. Fight against those warriors. Kill them, though
they are too many in numbers. Come on, you cruel warriors. Try to kill me and
get killed in that process. Oh! They are expert in fighting too. I have already
killed 7 of them. More to go; I hope. Come on!
Zwala (The younger brother of Whale Zumlu):- Are you having a
very tough time, young mermale? I am Zwala.
Arindam:- Oh! Yeah! Oh! My God! Now, I have no chance to
survive.
Zwala:- Don’t worry, dear. I am not here to kill you but to
protect you from these bloody warriors of the cruel Emperor Kakrasa. Will you
give me the permit to kill all these warriors?
Arindam:- Of course! Zwala. They are all yours. Instead of
fighting, it will be better, if you take me out of here to a safe zone.
