SAVIOUR

The Pir Panjal Mountains

Thirty Centuries Earlier

The wolf pack halted. Snouts rose to sniff the air; thick fur bristled, dislodging the snow that lay heavily on the backs of the six wolves. The night wind sweeping down the mountain face carried the unmistakable smell of blood. There was death nearby, but there was life too: warm, fresh meat. Intriguingly, the wind also carried a sound, a high-pitched mewling that was distinctly human. The wolves hesitated—they had learnt to be wary of man. They shuffled forward guardedly, snow-covered, ghostly shapes, almost invisible against the white hill. Their prey came into view: two bodies, a woman and a leopard, still warm, still streaming blood. And four squalling infants, wriggling, helpless. The wolves weren’t hungry, having feasted recently on a warthog, but this kill was too easy to resist. They made up their minds, and loped forward.

‘Yaahh!’

A firebrand whirred through the air and landed in their midst. They yelped and turned to face the intruder. Human, standing just ten yards away, holding another flaming torch, bearded face grim, eyes gleaming in the light. He had caught them unawares, creeping up on them downwind, soundless in the snow. The wolf pack gazed at the steady eyes and the dancing flame. This was no mewling newborn. An attack would have consequences. Anyway, they had just eaten and could afford to let it go. Ears flattened, tails dropped; the pack slunk away.

From untruth lead us to truth.

From darkness lead us to light.

From death lead us to immortality.

Om shanti, shanti, shanti.
