Planet Monsara. A combined population of around 5000 to 7000 Monsarians (Residents of Monsara planet). Trees on this planet grow taller than earth. Every monsarians skin is a bit
different from the earth's people. Their skin doesn't bleed and it automatically adjusts its
temperature according to the season. There are two different types of seasons on this
planet. First one is Questa (Monsoon) and the other one is Lomra (Summer). People on this
planet don't believe in civilization. However, they live inside the Vander (Cave).

There are usually 50 to 200 monsarian's Khuban (Groups) in a single vander. Whose purpose for life is to wake up, get prepared for hunting and then leave till the evening. Hunting is only allowed for Monseras (Male) and Monseris (Female) jobs are cooking and protecting the vander from any incoming creatures like Zitas, Goras, Lilibas (Some wild animals).

Piuja is considered one of the biggest and strongest khuban on Monsara. If the nearest
khubans encountered any kind of problem in hunting or in any kind of stuff during their
everyday lifestyle, they can ask the Piuja's bija the solution. Bija means the leader of every
specific khuban. Every khuban celebrates their hunt in the cave after coming from hunting.
They prefer singing and dancing to express their happiness. Monsarians are only allowed to communicate in their typical alien language inside the vander. Outside the vander, they
communicate with their known sign language.

Today is Ozovaa. A festival which is celebrated on the entire Monsara and on this festival all
the wishes of any monsarian comes true. Because, if you ask for something on this day
nobody would say "No". So, a young monsera from Piuja's khuban asks to marry a beautiful
and sweet monseri from his khuban. And as I've said, no one would say no to you on this
holy day.

So, everybody is celebrating that young monsera and monseri's Butta (Marriage). Everyone is happy for them, especially the young monsera with the wish.

One season has passed. Now it was the time for the season of Lomra. Everything was good
so far and then the bija of the khuban Simra came and expressed his desire to talk to Piuja's bija. Simra's bija started talking in their typical alien language, "Master, you know that our khuban is the biggest khuban on Monsara. So, we need more food to feed our people. So,
one week ago, we sent 60 of our monseras for hunting and no one in them reached the
vander yet. We've been searching for them for seven days but still no signs of them like the
whole group has just vanished. We all are too worried, master. Please do something."

Piuja's bija said that it's impossible for 60 monseras to disappear this way. Then he said that the next day they all will leave in the morning to search for the lost monseras.

Days went by. They kept searching and searching for them but they haven't found any signs of them yet. Not even their weapons. Everyone was upset. Both khuban's bija were
disappointed because they couldn't do anything for the lost monseras.

That night, the newly married Dimba (Couple) finished their Koki (Romance) and that's when
the monseri asked the monsera, "What may have happened to them?" Monsera replied, "We don't know that yet. But, we will find that out." Monseri said, "I just want you to be safe,
okay? I don't want you to get lost in search of the lost monseras. I don't want to be a Mini (Widow). Just be careful when you go out there. Because I love you and you're all I have,
understand?" "I do." The monsera replied with a soft chuckle.

Next day, when both of the khubans were leaving to search another area, monseras from the Kasun's khuban came across their way. Bija of Kasun came ahead and bowed to the Piuja's bija and he said, "Master, we apologise for crossing out of our Shery (Borders). But, we had no choice. Our khuban's 33 monseras are missing. We had been searching for them for a month. But, we still got nothing." Then the Piuja's bija told them their condition and he
offered 'em to search along their khuban. Then those three khuban left together to search for
the lost monseras.

During their search, the jungle led them to a strange place. It was a vander too, but it was
undiscovered. This vander was ten times bigger than their biggest vander. Monseras were shocked and a little scared. It was like a nightmare for all of them. Even the Piuja's bija said that they shouldn't go inside of this vander without having any knowledge of what's inside. Everyone agreed to this. They came back from there without even getting any closer to that massive vander.

That night, three bijas and their khubans were discussing what was that vander and what could be inside of it. Then the newly married monsera stood up and asked the Piuja's bija, "Master, you remember you used to tell us about the stories of our ancestors
when we were kids. I mean, the legends of "Dantra". Suddenly all the monsarians in that
vander started chattering indistinctly. Kasun's bija said, "But that is just a mythology. There is
no strong proof of that. Even if he was a story, then we should know that he went extinct a
long time ago. He can't be alive anymore." Then the young monsera said, "What we saw
today is the strongest proof to that myth." You're just scaring everybody, silly kid." Kasun's
bija yelled angrily. "There's no use shouting and fighting with each other." Said bija of Simra. Then someone from his khuban asked Piuja's bija about that myth. Piuja's bija sighed and said, "I hope this would be just a myth. Thousands of years ago, our ancestors made
paintings in the vanders of.... "Dantra". We learn from those paintings that Dantra is double the size of a normal Persilia. (Persilia is an extinct animal who used to be near the size of a Mammoth) Dantra used to live in vanders just like we have seen today. This animal will swallow you in just a single bite. No one has ever seen him or no one is alive who might have. He went extinct a thousand years ago. We shouldn't be worried about him now. He's not alive, not anymore."

The newly married monsera stood up again and said, "I apologise for interrupting you
master. But, I think we need to be worried about that beast. It would be our fortune if he's not alive. But, we need to be prepared for anything. We have lost nearly hundred of our brave monseras. There is a strong possibility that something horrible have happened to them and if he is really out there and killing our monseras then we must fight him rather than sitting here and discussing about the lost." Kasun's bija stood up and shouted, "You're talking too much, kid." Piuja's bija interrupted him and asked the monsera how they could fight Dantra.

Then that monsera started talking and letting them understand his plan…

"First of all, we all will cut Merien trees as much as we can. We will gather Eliot from those trees. (Merien trees are only found on Monsara planet and Eliot is a liquid which work like an explosive fuel) we will put meat outside of his vander and you all will be climbed up on the trees and when he'll come out and go near the meat you all will have to pour that eliot on his body. Once that is done, I will go and burn him with a Goega (Flambeau). This is how we are going to take him." "Do you think this is a joke? If that creature is really Dantra and he is taking our people then we can't do a single thing to him. We all will be dead even if we try to go near him and you're saying that you'll burn him with a Goega?" Bija of Piuja said with a lot of sarcasm and a bit angrily. "Master, trust me. We can do this. We just need to believe in ourselves. If we won't do something in time, then we will have to lose more monseras. They could be from anywhere. They are all our people, master. We'll have to take the chance." Said the monsera. Bija of Piuja stood up and took a walk silently and then broke his silence,
"We will go near that vander again tomorrow and we will find out if there's really something
like.... Dantra.

Next day, all of the monseras arrived. First, they put meat of some Zitas and waited for that monster to come out. They had to wait for like four hours. But after that time, they got to
know that legends of Dantra was not just a myth. All of the monseras who were considering that Dantra was just a story, they now were seeing him and everyone was scared as hell. That beast was so big that they were seeing him directly from the straight way sitting on the trees. He had a Foundu (Horn) on his head like a rhino which was making him even scarier for all of them.

They came back in the vander in the evening and then everyone, even the three bijas
agreed to the newly married monsera's plan and they all were ready to do what he said
before. All the monseras decided to kill Dantra before he kills them all. The next few days
they all were busy gathering the eliot from the Merien trees. They all worked hard putting
their families faces in front of their visions. In just five days, they all collected enough eliot to
kill Dantra. They all were putting that eliot into the Dodas (Pots which can carry the eliot), the night before the bloody day.

And now, this was the day for the execution. All of the monseras were saying goodbyes to
their families, because they know that if this plan works then they can live like before. But,
there was only one chance out of a hundred. One mistake and game over.

They left on their route. On this day, they brought some more meat than the last time.
Because the monsera said that the more meat they will take with them, the more time they
are gonna have from Dantra. Inviting Dantra wasn't that difficult this time. They didn't have to wait that long. He came out of his vander quickly as they arrived and put those zita's meat there. On that monsera's signal, all of the monseras who were climbing up on the trees
poured the eliot on Dantra's body all at once after a few seconds when he started eating the meat. Dantra panicked for this sudden move. Obviously, he wasn't prepared for this. He was jumping and roaring as the eliot caused him itching and swellness. The monsera with the plan had the Goega in his hand and he was waiting for the opportunity to go closer to Dantra and just burn him. But, going any closer to Dantra means hanging yourself to a tree. Then he thought about his people that they all are doing this thing just because of him, then why shouldn't he? He put all that motivation in his head and started running. Dantra was so big that after burning him with the Goega, he left between his legs running. Dantra started screaming and running unsteadily as he was burning and he ended up hitting himself with a huge rock mountain. He got unconscious. But, his body was still on fire. It took him two hours to get burnt all the way and to stop breathing.

Everybody was happy at this moment. Because there was nothing threatening for them. Not anymore. All of the monseras were too impressed by the brave work and with the genius plan of the young monsera. Everyone appreciated him for his efforts. Just because of him, their families had no fear and threats of anything.

So, the moral of the story is....

No matter how strong you are and how perfectly you've prepared yourself for the battle, sometimes, your victory depends on how worthy you were for the victory rather than your opponent....
