Baraka left the palace through the side door, which is usually used by maids and servants. She cried for her lover who lost his life and she cried at her fate.
"I am so sorry Odhan. I cannot do this" she whispered and removed the poison she stashed in her blouse.
She opened the sachet and was about to swallow the contents to kill herself when a voice stopped her.
"Odhan won't be happy" Darius uttered revealing himself from the shadows where they were hiding.
They reached the palace just a few minutes ago, before Baraka rushed outside with tears in her eyes.
She sat on the ground on her knees and cried for a while before apologizing to Odhan and removing some kind of dark powder.
Everyone understood what she was doing. Darius decided to save her, as he liked the prince of the dark world a little.
Baraka looked in the direction where she heard the voice from and gasped with surprise. She looked here and there for any spies or guar
Assorthan was clear-minded with the jolt of the shock he received. He understood that Darius Atticus might be here along with Theodora. He will not send her alone anywhere, let alone to another plane. With the way Theodora is talking to him, he understood that she know the past. But still she came into the Shadowland, why?Is it because of her father Norcia? But he is dead, killed by Odhan, his son, who is also dead.Assorthan did not understand their sudden appearance in his land."Now tell me the truth. Why are you here? Where is that Demon of yours?" Assorthan asked with irritation.He is furious beyond belief, and they caught him off guard. His brain is still not working to its full capability and he failed to think about the reason for their arrival.Thea and Max smirked looking at the discomfort on the Lord's face."Okay, if you want to listen to the truth, then listen. We are here for retribution against the attack on yes last n
Darius and Lucian were shocked when the portal through which Lucifer were pushed in to. When they are distracted with Lucifer Assorthan disappeared into another portal."Hey" Max yelled when he saw Assorthan jumping into the portal.That caught the attention of both Darius and Lucian."Shit" they cursed in union.Thea and Ophelia were still looking at everything in a trance-like state."He escaped" Lucian stated furiously."I don't know he can open portals," Darius said looking at the place from where Assorthan disappeared."What do we do now?" Lucian asked feeling at a dead end."We should ask for Odhan to cone here. Tell someone to Bring Baraka" Darius said and immediately Max went to get Baraka and Lucian sent one of his Vampires to bring Odhan.They were told to take the help of the witches to keep the portal open."I think we should ask the witches to come as well. Agamanam might of some hel
Darius, Lucian, Thea, Max, and Ophelia were anxious beyond words. They stayed back in the Shadowland until Lord Agamanan and his witches could come down there.After 45 mins, Lord Agamanan hastily came with a few witches. They were flying in there by the demons, who are all anxious to help their Lord."King Darius, Queen Thea, Master Lucian" Lord Agamanan greeted them respectfully."Lord Agamanan" they all greeted them as well."I need you to try and find the traces of the portal, where Assorthan pushed Lord Lucifer and Amber. I want you to retrieve them as fast as possible. We don't know in what kind of troubles they are in" Darius asked Agamanan."It's been more than half an hour King Darius. I don't think we can trace their exact location. But I will try my level best to trace them" Lord Agamanan promised Darius.Lord Agamanan doesn't want to make false promises to King Darius. So he told him the situation as it is. Even he is Anxious about Lor
"Damn, you are romancing in the middle of the ocean" Lucian teased Lucifer.Lucifer simply rolled his eyes. Amber's face became beet red."As if you are the one to speak," Lucifer commented drily.Ophelia and Thea snickered behind them."Here" Baraka brought towels for everyone to dry themselves."Thank you," Thea said with a smile."My king, Odhan is here" a Sentinel bowed respectfully."Okay, you can go" Darius sent the sentinel away.Baraka's heart skipped a beat. She wants to go see him badly but is scared to ask them so.Darius observed the sad look on Baraka's face and smiled with understanding."You can go and look after him if you want" Darius offered to Baraka.Baraka's face instantly lit up with happiness."Thank u, thank u king Darius" she said and rushed towards the palace.Everyone looked at her retreating figure."Where is Assorthan" Lucifer asked."He escaped," Darius said
Everyone was deep in thoughts after what they heard from Odhan. Suddenly Eugene remembered something before he was found by the Lord in his room."Can I have the permission to speak my lord" Eugene spoke up?He got the attention of everyone in the room."Yes, you may" Darius spoke up."Just before Lord Assorthan found me in his room, I saw a glimpse of a door like thing behind the portrait of Lady Theodora. I became suspicious, but I didn't get a chance to look at it. Lord Assorthan noticed what I was looking at and became enraged and that's when he became adamant about what I saw there. But I don't know what he wanted me to say. Moreover, I am not about to reveal the real reason" Eugene revealed.Everyone's ears perked up with interest. If what Eugene telling is right, then there might be something hidden behind Theodora's painting."Do you mind if we go and check it now?" Darius asked Odhan."Not all King Darius. Please feel free to check
When the angel turn her head and finally revealed her face, everyone remembers her differently.Lucian remembers her as her mother, who gave birth to him and somehow was taken away from him all those decades ago.Darius remembers her as the mother of Theodora, wife of Norcia a dark creature who was a slave to Assorthan.Lucifer identified her as Mother destiny, the one he and Althea met when she was little. Althea called her as mother by mistake."Mother destiny" Lucifer whispered with shock.She looked at him fondly."Yes, dear Lucifer. I am mother destiny" she said with a soft smile playing on her lips."But how come you are trapped here? When did you come from heaven?" he asked her with surprise.Her eyes became distant as if she is thinking something."Do you remember how Althea called me mother when she was little?" Mother destiny reminded him.Yes, he remember that day pretty well. That was the day Althea tied h
"Come with me mother. You don't have to stay here anymore" Lucian begged mother Destiny.She looked at him with resignation, as if whatever she was about to tell him will hurt him."I cannot son. As soon as I keep my foot in that tunnel, the water will drown us faster than we can cross it. It will kill not only me but also all of you. I finally came to know my sons and daughter are living a happy life. I cannot kill them with my one single decision" she said sadly.Lucian looked torn and a light mist of water can be seen in his eyes.She looked away from him, from them towards the sky far away from them."Look at that" she pointed towards the sky far away from them.They all looked in the direction she is pointing towards."What do you all see" she asked.All they could see was a clear blue sky. Too clear without a single cloud and only a few fishes. Wait, fishes?"Are they fishes in the sky?" Darius asked with shock.
After their encounter with mother destiny, all four of them walked back towards the exit of the palace."You can go Eugene" Lucifer sent away Eugene.Eugene bowed to them and left in another direction."What do we do now?" Lucian asked.Even Darius and Lucifer feel like, they are at a dead end. They cannot leave without finding Assorthan. But he is nowhere to be found."We don't know. We are not even sure if that arrows worked on him or not. He became lethargic after a few minutes of being hit. We don't know if it's because of the arrows or his poison" Darius murmured.A maid rushed towards them hurriedly."King Darius, Lord Lucifer, Master Lucien" she addressed them bowed deeply."Yes?" They asked in unison."Your breakfast is ready. Please, if you follow me, I will show you towards the dining room" she said looking at the ground."Sure, lead the way," Lucifer said and three of them followed the maid.
