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
The Shambala Chronicles Chapter 17 - The Party
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
The Shambala Chronicles Chapter 20 - The enchanted forest
17 years ago -Queen Kalita tucked three-year-old Revati in her bed. Her golden curls spread on the pillows.After years of being childless, they had finally adopted Revati, an orphan child of King Suchihero's cousin. Suddenly, a bright light filled the room. Squinting her eyes Kalita stared at the source, which was a woman looking at her with sad eyes."Who are you, lady?" Kalita asked.Surprisingly, her presence was soothing rather than scary."You will be a mother again Kalita. Though you will not have much time with her. But you are going to be a vessel, a vessel for my heir.""I don't understand, my lady, " Kalita said."You will understand everything in time, child."The woman disappeared as unexpectedly as she had materialized. Kalita woke up from her dream. She rubbed her head trying to decipher the dream.***********Presently -"I have a question brother, " Rudra asked Anbir as they were getting prepared for the camp."Sure, go ahead, " " Why does the father want you to mar
The Shambala Chronicles Chapter 21 - The song of the Phoenix
Rudra rode through the thick vegetation following Toshani. Before he knew it, they were ridiculously deep in the wood where the sun was starting to get dimmer.Rudra wondered, where they were heading. Soon enough Toshani stopped, in the middle of nowhere.They got off their horses and left them to graze."What is this place? Why are we here?" "Well, since all you guys are so desperate to see fairies, I thought let me show you some."His eyes widened in surprise."Really? There are fairies here?" He whipped his head around, but he could not see anything except trees and plants."What a pervert!" Toshani shook her head."Excuse me! What did you just call me? How does that make me a pervert!" He looked offendedToshani chuckled."They are actually pretty vicious and dangerous, fairies I mean. " "Have you seen them?" "Yes, a long time ago. Since we are Shambala royalty, all beings living in this forest are under our protection. But that does not mean we can intrude in their dwellings as
The Shambala Chronicles Chapter 22 - Out of the maze
Toshani shivered, even though they were standing in front of the fire. She felt his hand going around her unfastening her wet cloak."What are you doing?" She asked, startled."I think we should get out of these wet clothes, you will catch a cold, Toshani, " Rudra said while removing her cloak, he spread it out on a rock. Then proceeded to remove his cloak and started unbuttoning his wet shirt.Her eyes grew wide, as his perfect abs were revealed one by one. She turned away, trying her best not to look at him. He smirked, confident about the way he looked.It was still cold. Her layers of wet clothes were not helping much but it felt weird to undress in the company of a boy right after confessing their love for each other, and kissing."You are still shivering, Toshani, " he reminded her."I..... I am fine, " she replied as her clothes dripped with water."Don't worry, I won't do anything, " he raised his eyebrows, "Anything inappropriate is the last thing on my mind right now."She bl
The Shambala Chronicles Chapter 23 - The awakening
"You were supposed to be in the maze, Anbir," Rudra said aloud. The thunder had stopped but the sky was still grey with rain falling in buckets."I don't know, I just killed the Phoenix and suddenly I was in the middle of a thunder," Anbir replied wiping his forehead.His clothes were slowly getting soaked in the rain."Come here, this cave will provide us with some shelter, " Rudra said.He looked inside; he could see the silhouette of Toshani pulling on her dress. He sighed with relief; it would have been embarrassing to be caught a few minutes prior.A few moments later Toshani, Rudra, and Anbir were sitting in front of the fire. Anbir glanced at the red-faced Rudra and Toshani after they explained how they ended up in the cave. They had skipped over the intimate details of course, but Anbir could guess what had transpired between them.He burst into laughter, while Rudra and Toshani looked flustered..."This is interesting. So, did I interrupt something?" He said with a glint."I
