Chapter 111 Meeting Yakshini
Vinay continued his routine for two more days. He was terrified, but he couldn\'t back down now. He was also frustrated because he couldn\'t feel Yakshini\'s presence; Aghori had instructed him to begin this ritual by dousing his entire body in beast blood.
He began the ritual once more, but this time was different. He could sense the presence of many spirits around him and hear spirits pleading with him to give up and return. He continued to chant the mantra, and after a while, he heard the sound of anklets, followed by the sound of a woman laughing.
Vinay caught a whiff of something enticing and was about to open his eyes when he remembered Aghori\'s warning, \'Don\'t open your eyes; she will test you many times.\'
Vinay kept reciting mantras despite hearing a sweet voice telling him to follow her and dance with her. He bit his tongue so hard that it bled, but he never opened his eyes.
The night passed in some way. Vinay was drenched in sweat and blood in the morning; he was on the verge of opening his eyes today but managed to restrain himself. He sighed, relieved that he had to start from scratch.
Vinay was reciting mantras and performing the ritual in front of the fire when he felt someone touch him. He felt a chill run through his body but concentrated on the ritual. \'Why are you trying so hard?\' he heard a sweet voice ask.
The wind began to blow, and he felt the touch of someone; he ignored it and continued chanting when she asked, \'Do you know who I am?\' Vinay remained silent and continued his ritual.
He could hear whispers of a woman in his ears, but he continued biting his tongue controlling himself.
On the last day, he felt someone sitting on his lap, pulling his hair to stop him, but when Vinay managed to control himself, someone began choking him. He was fortunate that it was already morning, and the spirit fled.
He could even see the scars on his neck, where he was constantly burned. He ignored it and began planning for the next night.
This went on for another day; each day was becoming more difficult for Vinay, but he managed to keep himself under control; he hadn\'t gotten enough sleep and looked like a beggar right now, but he wasn\'t discouraged because this was the final night.
He prepared by bathing in the river today; he gathered flowers from the nearby mountain and made a garland out of them. He also prepared more flowers to decorate the location of the ritual.
A boy with white hair was seen sitting in a lotus position with a circle of flowers around him, chanting mantras beside a pot of water with the full moon\'s reflection visible.
He held a flower garland in one hand and a black book that appeared old and ancient in the other. Vinay lit the fire and pulled out a knife at midnight.
He threw the book into the fire and cut his right hand. He passed it over to the book, and blood flowed from his hand onto the Book.
The book was also mysterious; instead of burning, it shone red when blood fell on it, and the mantra chants began to increase.
Vinay thought something was wrong, but he heard a woman laugh: "Ha ha ha ha."
A small explosion occurred, and a spirit emerged from the book. She had a horn on the right side of her forehead and pointed ears like an elf. Her eyes were blood red, and her long hair were also blood red.
Her long canines were also visible when she laughed. She had a lovely, enchanting face, but her other features and expressions gave her a terrifying appearance; she was standing on fire as if it couldn\'t hurt her.
She stepped out of the fire, and her entire body became visible in the moonlight; she had light blue skin and a pendant with a blue gem on her neck. She was standing naked, with a grey mist covering her vital organs, She turned to Vinay and said:
"Are you the person who called?" in a beautiful, entrancing voice.
Vinay paused his chanting and nodded.
"What exactly do you expect from me? Money, power—ask whatever you want. I am pleased with you, " Yakshini said.
"I want to marry you," Vinay said after taking a deep breath.
The Yakshini was perplexed for a moment before laughing, "Ha ha haa haaa." "Interesting, no one had ever asked me to marry him."
"Aren\'t you too young to get married?" She went on to say.
"Everyone alive on this planet is younger than you," Viany said, "and I will grow up in a few years."
Yakshini burst out laughing at this response. "Do you know who I am?" she asked, lifting Vinay\'s chin.
Vinay was terrified, but he responded, "I know you are Yakshini, and I need your assistance to save my contract beast."
"Then you can ask me directly to save him; do you need to ask me for a marriage, you naughty kid?" She said this while pinching Vinay\'s cheek.
Vinay replied, his eyes closed, "That is true, but how would I manage my contract beast? You will only grant me one wish."
Yakshini smiled and asked Vinay, "Aren\'t you too greedy, kid? Do you know what I do to those who betray me?"
"I know," Vinay admitted.
"All right, then open your eyes and look at your wife," Yakshini said.
Vinay slowly opened his eyes and saw Yakshini\'s face in front of him; he was taken aback and stepped back. Yakshini burst out laughing when she saw that.
Vinay was speechless; he had never seen a woman so beautiful and frightening at the same time, and when he noticed she wasn\'t wearing anything, he blushed and looked at the ground, not daring to make eye contact with her.
He stood up, took up his garland, and approached her. He gathered his will and looked at her in the eyes for the first time. Her aura terrified him, but he persisted and placed the garland around her neck.
Yakshini was always smiling. She magically took out a garland from human skulls and draped it around Vinay\'s neck. He was disgusted and scared to see it, but having spent a week in the cemetery had improved his ability to maintain a straight face.
Yakshini reached out her hand to Vinay, and a book appeared on it. This book resembled the previous one but was much more descriptive and mystical. She chanted something and placed her hand on Vinay\'s brow.
Vinay felt like a piece of him was escaping from his body, and the pain caused him to pass out. While fainting, he only heard the Yashini laugh before collapsing.
