The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth

Vinay was at a loss for words; he was terrified by what Aghori had told him, but he also didn't want to give up now. Moti, his contract beast, has been with him since the beginning; he was Vinay's closest friend.

"Should I give up right now? Have I not done everything possible? Moti would never hold it against me, but will I be able to live peacefully knowing that I could have saved him but gave up at the last moment?" He was about to give up when he realized what was going on.

He pulled his hair and slapped himself three times, saying, "No, I can't think of anything; I've already started. I should keep moving forward now."

He took a few deep breaths and relaxed; he began to analyze his situation and concluded, "I need more information; he may have manipulated the information to make me give up."

He asked, "What exactly is Yakshini, and what does she do in that book? And can you tell me what's unique about that book? Why did people contract it before me if it was so dangerous?"

Aghori sighed and explained, "Yakshini is a higher-level spirit being, similar to a djinn, who is imprisoned in that book due to a curse. She does not belong in this world; she is from the Yaksha Loka(realm)."

"I've heard that she was the most beautiful woman in the Yaksha race. She was traveling with her friends in an immortal realm when she came across a saint meditating on a mountain. He wasn't just meditating; he was performing tapasya(a holy ritual like prayer to please God), and he was almost finished.

"Yakshini's friend bet her that she couldn't wake up the meditating saint; Yakshini are a playful race, so pulling pranks is not required of them. Yakshini initially denied it, but they forced her by saying she was afraid of losing.

"Why is it always friends?" Vinay wondered.

"Then she danced and tried to charm the saint; she sat in his lap, but the saint was not a normal man; he was not affected by her charm, but when she began touching him, he could not focus on his meditation. He awoke and glared at Yakshini."

"His entire body was trembling. He had almost finished praying when Yakshini interrupted, spilling water on all his hard work. He cursed Yakshini with the magical water from his oblong water pot."

"If I, Durvasa, had lived my entire life as a truthful and righteous believer of my God, then the one who disturbed my prayer would be punished and suffer the same pain I did. Following that, lightning struck, causing the entire world to shake "Aghori explained.

"Isn't he too impatient and emotional to be a saint?" Vinay stated.

"He is known as the Angry Sage for this reason, but it was not his fault this time; he had been performing the ritual for 99 years and was about to succeed when he was interrupted, and by not immediately killing them, he had already shown some mercy."

"What happened after that?" Vinay asked.

"Yakshini and her friends begged Saint Durvasa to forgive them, but he said he couldn't go back on his words; he told them a solution to break their curse. For Yakshini, the solution was to find someone who loved her and only her "Aghori explained.

"How did she get sealed in the book?" Vinay asked.

"That was the punishment Karma gave Yakshini and her friends for upsetting Sage; they were all sealed in grimoires and sentenced to various words. Yakshini was the first to appear on Earth, and she is also the strongest one."

"Many people blinded by power tried to get the book; they didn't know what that book was, but knowing it could make them strong was enough for them. Finally, Aghori discovered and brought it to us; since then, we have protected it from outsiders who want it to gain power," Aghori explained.

"They asked her for money and power; she gave them what they wanted while demanding sacrifices. Her demands kept getting worse and worse the more the people asked her; sometimes, she even completed their demands by making them lose what was closer to them."

"One person asked her that he wanted to get a millionaire in one night, the next day, that guy became a millionaire after his father died due to a heart attack, and he got all property."

"They didn't know the way to use her; the best way is to make a contract with her by imagining her as a sister, mother, or lover, but this also has consequences if you have a mother and make her your mother."

"She will kill your mother and take her place; the same will happen if you make her your sister or lover; the only thing that will be the same will be that she will not let you get close to other women."

"This is a secret that only we Aghori know; that's why we have sealed her, not allowing outsiders to know about her."

"Then why do you tell me about the book?" Vinay asked.

"Because you don't want it for yourself, and one of the elder Aghori predicted that one day a boy will come whose destiny will be linked with the 'Book of Death.' I could see the thread of fate when I first saw you, but I wanted to keep you away from this, but it's your destiny, and I can't do anything about it."

Vinay remained silent because he couldn't understand what Aghori was saying. After some time, he said, "When can I begin? My contract beast is in trouble, and I only have applied for ten-day leave from the academy."

The Aghori began to prepare. He took Vinay to the nearest cemetery and told him everything he needed to know; Vinay had to do everything during the day and go to the cemetery every night.

He was terrified the first night because of the silence in the graveyard, but he didn't give up; he did what Aghori had told him and formed a magic circle on the floor, then brought a magic beast and sacrificed it by hacking its neck. He placed the head on a plate and lit incense and candles.

Following that, he began chanting the mantras given to him by Aghori. Vinay was well aware that he was doing black magic, but he didn't have a choice. He'd already come a long way; all he had to do now was follow Aghori's instructions and hope for the best.

After a while, it was midnight; the wind was blowing very hard, moving his hair, almost putting out the bonfire in front of him. His entire body shook as he felt the cold sensation all over his body. Sounds like "go back," "Follow me," and "come out" were coming from everywhere, but Vinay didn't open his eyes and kept chanting.

Aghori had told him that he must never leave the magic circle, no matter what. He decided to trust Aghori and took his advice. After a while, all sounds stopped; he could even hear the magic beasts. He opened his eyes to see the sun rising.

He sighed and collapsed on the ground; he had been chanting all night and needed to rest now.
