"My lord, we need you."Annoyed at his broken daydream Rudra turned towards Malcolm."What happened now?""The Prince....he is not waking up," Malcolm replied, fear exhibiting on his face.Rudra sat up immediately."What do you mean not waking up? What happened to him?" He did not wait for an answer and scrambled off the bed pulling on his robe. It was not late night but most of the people in the palace were either asleep or going to sleep.Rudra rushed into Anbir's chamber. Gopi their other guard was sitting near him bending on his body shaking him awake.Gopi turned towards Rudra and bowed slightly.Rudra approached the sleeping form of Anbir.

The Shambala Chronicles Chapter 15 - – Bonding and Danger
Udaya checked the pulse of sleeping Anbir and sniffed the wine goblet."It's a simple sleeping potion but combining it with wine can make a person sleep for 24 hours. Luckily, I have an antidote." She smiled pleasantly.She took out a root that smelled like wasabi. It was strong enough to make anyone's eyes water.She broke a piece of the root and pushed it in Anbir's mouth."It will work in a few minutes, " she added.Rudra waited with bated breath.In a few minutes, Anbir woke up coughing and gagging."What the hell is this! Who stuffed this nasty thing in my mouth.”? Anbir grumbled and spit the bitter root. Then catching glimpse of everyone in the room he asked."What happened? Who is this lady?" He eyed Udaya."Give him a cold shower, and drink lots of liquid. This will flush out the potion from his body." Udaya gave further instructions to Rudra while Anbir looked on stupidly."Thanks, Lady Udaya. Please allow me to escort you back to the infirmary." Rudra said."I will explain
The Shambala Chronicles Chapter 16 - The third round "fight to death"
The arena was full of people. Right from the Royal family, the noblemen, knights, and the commoners. Everyone was packed in the circular arena with a capacity of more than 5000 people.The third round of the contest was about a show of strength. The contestants had to fight against -"Ogres!" Rudra gasped.Ogres or rakshasa were magical creatures who were inhumanly large, tall, with a disproportionate head and body. However, they were amazingly fast, extremely powerful with an appetite for human flesh.They also had literally impenetrable skin making it exceedingly difficult to kill or subdue them through normal weapons."Some of them might die here, my lord." Gopi who was standing behind him whispered to Rudra." Yes, it is a fight to the death, but Anbir will make it. He is the best warrior of Vatsaya." Rudra replied.While the ogres roared behind their cages the seven contestants prepared themselves to face the ogres.Killing an ogre was tricky, it required special weapons, a massiv

Prahastha walked through the narrow lanes of the city. Every nation no matter how prosperous they are having hidden nooks and corners where the poorest, the most vicious, and the most unfortunate hide behind the veil of obscurity.This was the dingy part of the Aumeria, one of the major cities of Vatsaya. Even the king's guards avoided this part of the town.Like a sore wound, it was ignored by the rest of the population.He preferred living among these outcasts. No one bothered him and he could go about his business in peace. He threw some coins at a beggar sitting near a hidden entrance. Then he mumbled the magic words which unlocked the door of an ageing building. A flight of stairs led to a medium-sized quarter. No one could guess that Prahastha, one of the most accomplished and gifted Mages of the century was now a dreaded assassin - Dark Shadow.*******"And in conclusion, I would like to thank......" Prince Leonard droned on and on and on."I bet he loves the sound of his own v

She crossed the stables and reached a clearing which was surely an archery practice area. Rudra could see painted targets in the dim light some distance away.Toshani stopped there."How good is your archery?" She asked him with an amused smile."Not bad, are we going to practice archery in the dark?""It's more fun if you do in the dark. Shooting fixed targets in the daylight is easy, have you ever hunted in the dark? " She gave him a challenging look."Never tried it, though I am fascinated, let's see your skills, " he looked around then focused on a tree."Can you pierce the leaves of that tree?" He pointed at the tree.Toshani looked at him, her eyes conveyed she thought he was stupid."Is that all? I am the best archer of Shambala, Sir". She lifted her chin and gave a smug smile."Interesting, let's see the best archer of Shambala." He folded his arms and leaned against another tree.Toshani huffed then picked up a bow. She fitted the arrow on the string. Her eyes screwed in con

"Please, I am sorry, just let me go, " Leonard pleaded.Blood was pouring from the cut on his lips, it flowed down his chin and stained his pristine white collar. One of his eyes had turned black, the rest of his face was covered in bruises.Bent into a fetal position on the floor of his own room, he shivered in fright."Oh! Come on, I thought the great conspirator would be stronger than this. What a pathetic piece of shit!" Anbir spat at him."I think that's enough brother, he has got his lesson. Just ask him to withdraw from the competition."Rudra said from the chair he was lounging on. After reaching the banquet, Rudra had informed Anbir about what he had overheard in the courtyard. They had lured Leonard to come along with them. While Malcolm and Gopi kept a lookout.Anbir and Rudra had overpowered Leonard, roughed him up, and now he was crawling at Anbir's feet."I have a better idea, I can just kill him, " Anbir said while gritting his teeth in anger."I would suggest not to d
