Chapter 12: 11. Twin Yakshini
As I don't want to wait for 100 years for my army to be ready, I used my powers to increase the lust of all the Asura and Danavas. This led to a steep rise in childbirth for the next few decades and the population grew even more than my father and uncle's rule, like Asura and Danavas don't want to wait keep it in their pants for even a second and the women are forever horny. And we were not lacking in land either, especially with the newly acquired land in Sutala Lok.
In this time, Prahlad at the cost of all his sons has been able to make the Sutala completely habitable and so new villages and towns had been built there, while many different breeds of Krodhvashas are being bred and used beasts of war. But after losing all his sons Prahlad also lost the will to live and died.
In this time, I also met with my uncle who is still alive, Vajranga. He was living in a forest with his wife Vajrangi and son Tarakasura. The same Tarakasura who is fated to die by the hands of my future little brother Karthikeya (also known as Skanda, Murugan and many more). Technically he can die by my hands as well because according to his boon he should die by the hands of son of Shiva.
I went there to try to recruit him in my army, but he refused for a peaceful life. But I can see that his wife is not satisfied with just that but wouldn't say anything to oppose him as well. Neither does his son looks like he likes it any more than his mother but there is something else as well in his eyes. Greed, greed for power, for my throne. It can be seen clearly in his eyes when he looks at me. Well, it's a good thing that I could defeat and /or kill him as well after he gains his boon if he decides to rise against me in future.
As he refused to join the army as a commander, I gave him the offer to be the trainer of my army and guard it in my absence. In return his son will be given the education deserving of a prince by Shukracharya. For his son's future he agreed and came with me to Pataal.
Well with a good trainer for my army secured my lower ranked soldiers should be well trained and Shukracharyaa will see to it that those who are particularly skilled reaches the peak of their potential. According to the later my army should be trained with more than enough Maharathi, Atirathi and Rathi to command them by the next decade.
In this time Shimika has also been able to grow the female legion of the army to just a little less than the male. The main reason being her excellent prowess in the Danava war. Seeing her success, I have tasked her with creating a further elite division made up of only Rathi and higher-class female warriors who will work as royal guards. They will be the elite of elites and will be trained in every kind of warfare and weapon. They are not allowed to marry and will have to leave all the relation with their family behind. They will guard the family wing of the royal palace, antahpura and will be responsible for the safety of royal family and will follow them everywhere, even in bedroom.
In this time, I went on a sort of world tour, not like travelling different places on earth but travelling in the universe visiting different loks (dimensions where different beings and deities stay). In this travel I met with various rishis and sages in all the different loks and serviced them and earned some small boons in form of divine weapons (swords, spear etc.) or divine metals which I'm going to use in future to craft my own weapons.
While on this travel, I met with two Yakshini who were twins and were deep in meditation in a cave on top of a mountain in Himalayas. When I entered the cave for some rest they came out of their meditation and saw me.
"Swami (means husband or lord)" they said to me. I was shocked as to why two unknown women are referring to me as husband.
"Devi (lady), you are mistaken. I don't even know you than why are both of you calling me swami." I asked them.
They smiled and said "One day we went to meet with Lord Brahmdev, to ask about the future of our race as we were not strong like rakshasa and neither centralized. He told us that in future the son of sage Vishrava, Kubera will become the god and guardian of wealth. And so, it happened but nothing changed for us, we just have to follow his orders, of someone who don't even belong to our race, so we started Tapasya to lord Shiva and years later he appeared in front of us and told us to ask for a boon other than immortality. We asked for sons who together will defeat Kubera and become the King of Yakshas. Bholenath granted us our wish and told us to wait and meditate in this cave till a man comes in this cave who will be our husband and will give us the son that will defeat Kubera."
They narrated their whole story. But after hearing I became shocked and afraid that if the trinity or Shiva know about my reincarnation but soon dismissed the thought as it may not be my intention to fight a war with Shiva over marrying my own mother, Parvati but I don't plan to be all jolly with devas and other races and they won't offer me the leadership of one of the races so easily. So, it most likely is one of the domino effects of my reincarnation or some help by whoever send me here. Either way I am not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.
"And what will you do if I refuse to accept you." I asked them just to check their dedication.
"We will question Mahadev and if he doesn't answer our questions we will die by self-immolation." They said to me with a fire in their eyes I rarely see.
"Hahaha, I like your answer. Ok, I will accept both you as my wives, but our marriage will have to wait for some time." I told them.
"We have waited for you for years Swami, we can wait for a few more." They said happily.
"Then pack anything you have here that you want to take with you and get ready to travel." I spoke.
"Where are we going Swami." They asked.
"Pataal" I said, and they looked at me with confused look. "Oh, sorry I forgot to introduce myself, I am Andhakasura, the lord of pataal, king of Asura and Danavas and the firstborn of Shiva and Parvati." As I said this, I turned into my 12 feet thousand handed and 500 headed form just to show them but soon returned to my normal form. All this while I looked at their faces closely to see any fear or regret but didn't see anything.
And so, I returned to Pataal lok with my future wives with satisfaction as this trip has proved itself very worthwhile.
