Bab 233: Pancharakshas [1]

The gentle breeze brushed the lush and tall trees as it passed. The sun rays filtered through the canopy of the green forest. The forest was like a mat of green stretched across the horizon. The Empire had many such vast and lush forests. 

In the middle of this vast forest was a small building made of wood and vines grew around the house. Moss was trekking up the wooden walls of the building. It barely stretched across a few meters and by the looks of it, it had one rather spacious room.

It was surrounded by tall trees and was blending in with nature. It was hard to spot from afar due to the vines and moss covering. 

Masked men surrounded the building. There were a few on the tall trees looking out into the distance from all sides. Two masked men wearing black clothes with red highlights stood near the door. They gripped their spears and stood attentively, looking around and scanning their surroundings. 

This place was the meeting place of the Yamaduts.
