“Then you can also notice how loyal I am to you, lord Yama,” said the lord of Krimisha.

  “Indeed, lord of Krimisha,” said the lord, “everyone is well aware of your loyalty. Do you know why you are predictable? Because you never change and grow, and you always keep repeating the same mistakes.”

  “Thanks for your advice, sire,” said lord of Krimisha, “I want to know the reason for my summoning.”

  “What’s the hurry?” said lord Yama, “I’ve just started praising you.”

  “Please, sire, there are many souls to punish,”

  “Is that so?” said lord Yama, “Well, surprisingly, I haven’t heard anything about your hard work.”

  “What did you mean, sire?” asked the lord.

  “I mean, I’ve heard from Yamaduta that you haven’t been punishing any soul for many days, and also you didn’t inform me about any problem, so what is it?” asked Lord Yama

  “It's something shameful that I didn’t want to share,”

  “You can tell me, I’ve already heard a lot of shameful things about you, so another one will make no difference,” said Lord Yama

  “I’m not being able to punish those souls as they should be; my punishments are too weak for them,”

  “Hahahaha,” Lord Yama laughed, “Now you understand the reason why I assigned you the lord of that hell. I wanted to teach you a lesson. Anyways, you’re the lord of that hell, so you should ensure that every soul there gets the punishment appropriately.”

  “I will try, sire,” said the lord of Krimisha

  “I don’t care about your effort, I care about the result, which is that the souls in your hell should get punished,” said Lord Yama, “or you will receive the punishment in hell at their place, is this something you want?”

  “No, sire,” said Lord of Krimisha, “so you better do your job.”

  “I promise, sire, this won’t happen again,” said the lord

  ‘I don’t believe in fake promises,” said Lord Yama, “by keeping your promise, you will have to prove that you are still capable.”

  “I will, sire,”

  “Now you can go,”

  “Do you think that he will keep his promise?” asked a lord of Avici to the lord of Dandasuka.

  “That is not the matter of concern,” said the lord of Dandasuka, “the matter of concern is whether he is saying the truth or not.”

  “What do you mean by that?” said the lord of Avici, “Everyone knows here that he isn’t punishing any souls in his hell, that is the only reason why Lord Yama summoned him to the court.”

  “You didn’t understand,” said the lord of Dandasuka, “it is true that he isn’t punishing the souls in his hell, but the reason he said that he isn’t doing that anymore could be a lie.”

  “How could you say so?” asked the lord of Avici, “Everyone knows that the souls in Krimisha are difficult to punish; that is why lord Yama made him the lord of krimisha.”

  “Maybe you are forgetting the time when he called a meeting of all lords of hell to overthrow the rule of lord Yama,” said the lord of Dandasuka, “what’s the guarantee that he is not doing the same thing again?”

  “You are overthinking,” said the lord of Avici, “you also know that without our help, it will never be possible.”

  “I don’t know, the souls in Krimisha are really strong and powerful,” said the lord of Dandasuka, “and I know to what extent he can go to take his revenge.”

  “So, what can we do?” asked the lord of Avici.

  “We will spy on him,” said the lord, “to know what is really happening so that we will be able to stop him from doing anything wrong.”

  “Nice plan,” said the lord of Avici, “if he lets us do that.”

  “There’s a special thing about anger and revenge,” said the lord, “when a person is focused on them, then he isn’t able to see what is happening around them, which is a perfect opportunity for us.”

  Don’t worry, lord Yama, enjoy whatever moments you have left because once I start ruling the earth, lord of Krimisha thought, I will take everything from you and you’ll suffer every day, and I will watch you suffer every day as you did to me. You will get tenfold what you have done to me.

  “Ivaan!!! Ivaan!!!” Lord of Krimisha shouted, “Where are you?”

  “I’m here, sire,” Ivaan said from a distance, he was filling up the potion bottles placed on the table in front of him.

  “And what is it that you are doing?” asked lord of Krimisha while gradually moving towards him.

  He paused for a moment, but before that, the lord rushed and stood in front of him.

  “Let me answer it for you,” said the lord, “you’re fooling me and wasting my time.”

  “It’s not true, sire,” he said

  “Then what is the truth?” asked the lord, “It has been so long, and you haven’t been able to prepare a few potions; maybe choosing you to lead them was my biggest mistake.”

  Indeed, it was your biggest mistake because it is going to destroy you for forever in a way you cannot imagine.

  “The truth is…” he said while looking at the potions on table, “both of the potions are ready, sire, and after some preparation, you’ll be able to get out of here.”

  “Are you sure that it will work?” asked the lord of Krimisha while gazing at the potion bottles.

  “Yes, it will, sire,” he said, “I can promise you that.”

  “So, when can I get out of this place?” asked Lord of Krimisha

  “There are some arrangements required for the spells to work,” he said, “once they are completed, you will be good to go.”

  “Great, that is what I wanted to hear,” said the Lord and spotted Ivaan gazing at him.

  “You don’t need to worry, you’ll get everything that I have promised,” said the lord

  “Thank you, sire,” said Ivaan, “just give me some more time so that I can try to do the arrangements fast so that you will be able to get out of this shitty place.”

  “Inform me when these arrangements are completed. I don‘t want any delay.”

  “As you say sire, sire,”

  Lord of Avici came to lord of Dandasuka in his hell.

  “Why are you here?” asked the lord of Dandasuka, “You are supposed to be in your hell.”

  “Indeed, but I can’t do anything if the situation commands it,” said the lord

  “What happened?” asked the lord of Dandasuka

  “You were right about spying on the lord of Krimisha,”

  “Did you act upon it?”

  “Yes, I did,” said the lord of Avici, “and I can’t believe what I found.”

  “What did you find?” asked the lord

  “You were right, he was lying that he is not able to punish the souls, but the truth is quite the opposite,” said the lord of Avici, “he is not punishing them because he had made a deal with them about something, and in return those powerful souls are working for him.”

  “This is both good and bad,”

  “What is good about this?”

  “The good thing is that we are aware of what lord Krimisha is doing,” said the lord of Dandasuka

  “We only know that the souls are working for him, but they are working towards…what?” asked the lord of Avici

  “It has quite a simple answer,” said the lord, “we will start from where things ended.”

  “What do you mean by that?”

  “By that I mean, last time lord of Krimisha was talking about overthrowing the rule of Lord Yama, and I believe this is what he and his souls are working towards,” said the lord

  “How can you be so sure? What if it is not what we think it is?”

  “It can be true,” said the lord of Dandasuka, “but it doesn’t matter; he is not punishing the souls, and he is making them work for him, which means he is already doing wrong, so it doesn’t matter what his plan is; he needs to be stopped.”

  “But we can’t go to his hell without his permission,” said the lord of Avici, “and we don’t have any proof against him, so how will we stop him?”

  “We don’t require any proof,” said the lord of Dandasuka, “we will stop him by ourselves without telling Lord Yama.”

  “I’m not having a good feeling about this,”

  “Neither do I,” said the lord, “but there are things which we need to know from him before telling Lord Yama about him.”
