Nothing to win..

..The sound of the victory horn is still in the air .. swords are still shining after a long lasting blood bath .. soldiers are making preparation for the celebration of final victory .. all the world he knew is now beneath his feet... The warrior is now relieved, winning his last possible battle .. he looked at his soldiers they seemed relieved too .. smell of fire, destruction and freshly slayed human bodies are every where ... He looked back standing on the frontier .. all that is left after his conquest , still carrying the marks of his triumph and bravery... he has achieved all that a man can dream about ...
.. but what has
he really achieved after all this blood , sweat and tears... yes he had to
loose many things in search of greater glory.. he also had seen life draining
away of people he held close to his heart .. but nothing could stop or dissuade
him from the destination he voyaged for... right now was not really the time
for tallying up sheet of loss and gain .. it was the time to embrace his hard
earned achievement ... but he needed some time to contemplate so he moved away
silently from his followers ..
He reached the
bank of the river beside the battlefield ..The water used to be crystal clear
even few days ago.. pebbles and rocks carefully gathered by the river is now
stained red.. the place became a nightmare to the peaceful civilians but to the
warrior it was nothing of surprise as he had seen worst ... He sat beside the river
dipped his feet into the water .. It was cold .. so cold as if the river was
carrying melted ice .. the warrior of battle .. the denier to death.. the
messenger of destruction felt the peace climbing up his veins.. cooling down
the rage that kept him company through the days of battle.. soothing up his
nerves that stretched like steel ... the moisturized air flowing in his face
..made him feel like so very normal .. just like his long past childhood
.. It will be a
new world from tomorrow .. the world of his own.. won by injuries and deaths of
thousands ... but there will be no more from tomorrow .. what will his blood
thirsty soldiers do from tomorrow then ?? They chose him their leader .. He
taught them to be barbaric and ruthless in war.. all that they do good now ..
but what will be their purpose when there is no war left !! What will be his
purpose ?? !! All that he learned .. and did well is how to be victorious
in war .. how to survive from death lurking around all the time .. He could not
find a single purpose in the world absent war.. He wanted the world to bow ...
He wanted the command over every possible human .. He shaped the world on his
mold.. but he never thought if the new world will want him ..!! whether he will
be welcomed in the world of his own making ... he never thought before
... and now he had no idea ... !! now it was hard for him to face the purpose
he have been fighting for through the years.. that thought infected his
conscience ... turned him into a confused loner now .. roaming for answers ..
