HELLMAARK Ch 4 -- The Heist

 HELLMARK

Chapter 4 – The Heist

Raat aur bhi gehri ho gayi thi.

Riven ke steps bilkul soundless the,

jaise wo shadow ka hissa ho.

Usne decide kiya tha — Mark of Abyss wali book usse chahiye hi chahiye.

Wo Kael ke ghar ke bahar khada hua tha.

Ghar purana, black stone se bana aur creepy silence me dubka hua.

Walls par wahi Abyss symbols carved the jo library me dekhe the.

"Kael suspicious hai… aur ye ghar bhi,"

Riven apne aap se fufusuraya.

Par uske chehre par ab bhi koi emotion nahi tha.

Riven khidki se silently andar ghusa.

Room ke andar purple lanterns me halki si jalti hui flame thi,

aur room ke center me woh book rakhi thi.

Arin, jo usse follow kar raha tha, door ke peeche chup gaya.

Usne saari cheez apni aankhon se dekhi.

Riven jaise hi book uthata hai,

Kael ke steps sunai dete hain.

Shadow me se Kael ka silhouette samne aata hai —

uski aankhen red glowing, bilkul waise jaise Arin ne jungle me dekhi thi.

"Tum samajhte ho ke tum dark ho, Riven?"

Kael ki awaaz basement me goonjti hai.

"Tum to sirf ek pawn ho.

Real darkness abhi aayi hi nahi hai."

Riven bina dare uski aankhon me dekhta hai aur calm tone me kehta hai:

"Main tumhare saare rules tod dunga, Kael."

Kael hansi karta hai,

"Tum abhi kuch nahi ho.

Yeh game abhi start hua hai."

Aur usi waqt Riven book grab karke window se bahar leap lagata hai.

Purple flame poore ghar me phail jaati hai, aur Kael ke chehre par ek twisted grin dikhta hai.

Door ke peeche Arin sab kuch dekh raha hota hai,

shock me, unable to process.

Riven jungle ke edge par rukta hai,

aur dheere se bolta hai:

"I’m ready for all of this…

Let’s start this blood war."

Chapter 4 ends — Riven successfully steals the book, Kael prepares for chaos.
