The
secret of Eta Black by Ananya Sharma
A man sitting behind the bars named
Eta black has no clue what is happening with him. He was searching for
questions like, why he has been put inside jail? Why everyone is hating him?
Why everyone is abusing him with non- patriotic slogans. He was taken by Hercules
Soldiers.
Eta black was born in Orion constellation and his parents
left him in front of an orphanage where he grew with his friend Canopus,
Rigel and Polaris , though Rigal was his best friend. On a fine day all five friends
went for walk in the forest. Unfortunately there came a leopard and they ran
away in different directions to save themselves and got separated but Regal and
Eta black were together fall down and got fainted.
Rigal was picked up by a family
who donot have children and has been taken to the Hercules constellation. Rigal inquired about his friend
Eta black and they informed that he has been taken by King’s Soldiers and would be hanged the next
day.
Rigal got worried and started thinking how to save his
friend and start seeking guidance from the family to give him some clue how he
can save his friend.
Mr. Vega, the head of the family offered wine amphora along with roasted sorghum to Rigal and started thinking
along Rigal for the solution for the saving Eta black life.
While thinking, Mr, Vega said, I know how to come out
from Jail, but I donot know how to go inside the jai?
Rigal asked with surprise, what do you mean by that?
Vega said, I mean my ancestors had made this Palace and
my grandfather was a great architect, he was put inside the jail after
finishing this beautiful king’s palace since the king don’t want him to make
similar palace for any other king. Hence my grandfather, know that so he had made
a tunnel from the palace to the sea. He used that tunnel and came out and settle
in the other constellation.
But that was palace this is jail, asked Rigal?
Now that palace has been converted into Jail, answered
Mr. Vega
While Rigal was thinking and they heard a noise outside,
both came out and saw that the Kings ride was passing from their street. Rigal
started walking aggressively and hit on
a Kings Solder on his face saying that “O kings Solder, am your father
and hit the face with aggressive slap” The Soldier came and started hitting him
to almost death, Vega tried to save him but all vain. The king ordered the
soldiers to put both of them in the jail as he was getting late for Dawat
In the jail, whatever they have left with energy, they
started looking for Eta black and could not found him, then they started
shouting with a different type of voice which only Eta black can understand.
When Eta black heard the voice, he woke up from his
unconsciousness and started walking towards Rigal. Both friends met and started
crying like anything and now everyone start abusing both friends with
non-patriotic slogans.
Rigal asked why they are abusing us, Eta said, I am also
looking the answer of this question?
At the same time, Mr. Vega came towards them and asked
not to make any noise we will leave this jail tonight.
But Eta said, that I will not leave this jail until I get
the answers, why they are abusing us without any reasons.
Vega and Rigal try to convince Eta but all in vain and
hence they thought how to get answers of Eta’s question.
Vega suggested let’s talk to the prisoners, who is
abusing to understand the reasons, but the moment they went to ask the
prisoners, the prisoners started beating them. Now they have no energy left and
fall sleep.
Eta dreamed that he is being hanged by the Kings Soldiers
and woke up suddenly in the night. He was very frightened and cried, at the
same time both Vega and Rigal also woke up by hearing his voice. Finally they
decided to go out through the tunnel and later they will find the answers for
Eta’s questions.
Suddenly they realize that the door of their barrack has
been locked from outside. Regal said that I can open the door if I got a small
pin since I know how to open locks. Trio started looking for Pin but could not
found inside the barrack. Vega saw a wood stick and picked up the wood stick, sharpen
with his teeth and handed over to Regal for opening the lock.
After multiple efforts, they were finally able to open
the lock, they came out with stifled steps and started crossing the corridor.
Now it is Mr. Vega turn to lead them and
take them out from Jail. He said lets us look for a “Ficus bengalensis” tree
but it was extremely dark night, they were worried for any noise.
Suddenly the king came back from Dawat and asked the Soldiers
to bring them in the court to be hanged in the night itself.
The Soldiers ran towards the jail barrack and to their
surprise, they could not found them inside that, all these is being observed by
Eta black, Regal and Vega. The solders whispered themselves lets search them otherwise
King will kill us. To search them they turn on the lights inside and outside
the Jail. THe moment light turns ups, Eta saw the Ficus bengalensis tree and
they started running towards the tree, while running, Vega saw another Ficus
bengalensis tree, he stopped them and said, lets us take pause and decided
which one is right tree. By this time, they have noticed by the King Soldiers
and they started celebrating saying that, ohoo hurray they are inside the Jail
and become slow. Eta Black got an intuition and said the old one would be the
right tree and they started running with full energy toward the old tree. The
Soldier were still in dilemma that where they will go they will remain inside
the Jail, so they decided not to chase them since they thought that when they
will get tired they, we will catch them.
Trio went near the Ficus bengalensis tree and Vega
started looking for clue, they found a bunch of large stones and started
putting them away. The Solider thought that they are making an arrangement for
sleeping. They have lifted all the stones but one and could not found any clue
for exit, but the moment Eta black take out the last stone, the saw lot of water
through the bark, everyone without wasting time jumped in the water and started
swimming in the dark night and reached the sour and boundary of the kingdom.
