Karen Redclaws, a man of generosity fallen in love with a girl who he always wanted to be his mate. When he overheard the conversation of his dad from a faraway land, repeatedly saying the word DARLING, he straightaway craved to see that girl.
He insisted to accompany his dad all the time, whenever he was decided to visit his Darling. He would be denied by his dad to take care of their land and their people in his dad’s absence.
As a decade passed, Karen brewed his hidden love for that unseen girl secretly in his heart waiting to burst at the right time. A long waited prayer of him was answered finally. To his wonder, his dad gave him an offer to accompany him. How the lover boy like him would deny such an offer to meet his love. So, the answer is readily a big YES from Karen.
The two men marked their route to their destination through a horseless carriage, a car of model Mercedes AMG GT gullwing. On the way to their destination, Karen threw tons of questions to his dad about the girl. For all the questions, his dad who remained silent finally opened his mouth and said, “She is the one in the entire world who I wanted to protect her with all my life”.
His father, Alabruz Redclaws is a remarkable leader and invincible legend in the whole continent. Karen always feels pride and proud to be his son. But, the words uttered by his dad gained more attention towards that girl. Because the man of legend wants to protect a girl with his life! That implies she is the most important person in his dad’s life.
Karen always wanted to get answered to the question, "Why Akshara is an important person than his own family?"
Apart from all those questions, his heart was bouncing against his ribcage in the thought of meeting his love when his dad turned the way towards their destination. They arrived at the big arching entrance with a naming board ARDNA CHIRIG.
Karen read those letters carefully and asked his dad pointing to the address board, “Dad, what that means?”
Alabruz replied by looking in the direction where his son meant, “It’s the name of this land. Have you not heard of this?”
Karen told him with a disappointed look, “No… I don’t even know that kind of land exist in this continent”
Alabruz asked him, “Why you are unaware…. As a boy of your age, you must explore many things including lands.”
Karen told him, “Dad, that’s because mom has forbidden me to explore.”
Alabruz gave him an Awe expression and replied to his son, “I can guide you. But you need to do it on your own.”
Karen expressed his inner thoughts, “I will dad. I won’t defame you, I swear.”
After gazing at the environment, Karen was keeping the tracks of the route they entered as their Mercedes (car) taken numerous turns. Karen was forced by thoughts to clear his instant doubts to his dad, “Dad, we would have travelled nearly for half an hour from the naming board Ardna Chirig but I haven’t seen any houses or people. All I could see only woodlands. Are we going on the correct track or just you have forgotten your track since your last visit was half a decade ago?”
Alabruz gave him a disappointed look and replied, “Do you think I am old enough to forget the tracks besides being an alpha?”
Karen pressed his lips and answered to his father, “Dad, you have misinterpreted what I say. I mean to say….”
Alabruz interrupted Karen, “Don’t explain, I can read your mind.” He winked at Karen, “This land is cursed.”
Karen asked him, “Cursed!?! What do you mean by cursed?”
Alabruz explained, “This land was known for its beauty applied scenery of fertile land. The name Ardna Chirig means the plinth of the moon. As the name says the history of this land echoed.”
Karen listened to his dad with keen ears, Alabruz continued, “Heard about bluemoon?”
Karen shook his head in negative and Alabruz complained to him with a sigh, “You don’t even know about it…”
Karen responded, “Dad… What am I to do with the land in the east? I can tail anyone with a blind walk in the north”
Karen continued, “As far as I know, this land once was blessed but now it was cursed. Fine about the land! Tell me about your darling, Dad.”
Alabruz could read his mind and replied, “Don’t ever try to mess with my darling. I will rip you apart in pieces… Karen.”
Karen widened his eyes and thoughts while their Mercedes car stopped at the entrance of a palace. Alabruz had blown the horn three times in three different frequencies.
Karen asked his dad, “Is that a signal? That’s the reason you snatched the car key from my hand?”
Alabruz titled his head to the left with raised one eyebrow, “You don’t know the path as well.”
Karen opened his door and stood before the entrance of the palace and admired its beauty and turned to his dad to ask him, “Whom do you signal to?”
Alabruz was impatient in getting inside the palace and replied on his quick steps, “You will see it eventually.”
Alabruz suddenly stopped and moved towards Karen and said with a gesture in his right hand, “She knows only little about us. Don’t scare her”
Karen replicated the gesture using his thumb and index finger, “How much little?”
Alabruz marched towards the entrance and replied in short words, ”Very little”
Soon after he entered the palace of Nicoria Blackfire, his eyes wandered to see the image of the girl he loves and even expected to see her portrait on the walls. He was very curious to find many answers for the arousal of questions, "Will she recognize me. What would be her reaction to see me after a decade? How to greet her - by handshaking or a gentle hug. What will she like? Oh my god, I have forgotten to bring any gifts for her. Will she accept my love…?"
His wandering thoughts were interrupted by a frisson voice from upstairs saying that she is coming. Karen prepared him to meet Akshara; he could hear the loud beats of his heart. As expected, the girl of a stunning beauty who was descending from the stairs like a feather who linger in the air to reach the ground is Akshara.
Unconsciously, Karen’s lips gestured a smile while he saw Akshara and opened his mouth to ask, “Dad…is this you’re Darling…Indeed she is a Darling”
He never thought that she would grow into such a beautiful young lady. He tried all his way to get close to her whenever the time permits and wanted his love to reciprocate towards him.
*****
Karen and Akshara were in the middle of their conversation on the thunderstorm night …
Both Karen and his thoughts were lost in the eyes of Akshara which were twinkled in the luminosity of atmospheric electricity, a flash of lightning. The adrenal glands of Karen were rushing him to perform his love but he took control of it and spoke those words by holding her hands, “Axe, I’m trying to protect you”
“Protect me …? Thanks for your concern, Karen. But from whom …?” Akshara questioned Karen who was trying to loosen her hold from his hands.
Karen understood her gesture and taken his hand away from her and said “From…”
“What from… where from… For god’s sake, Karen … I think I need protection from you. You need a broom to sweep off your dirty thoughts” said Akshara in a state of annoyance by poking his head with her fingers.
Karen was infuriated by the poking of Akshara and replied hastily, “Give your brooms to your God-mother”
Akshara immediately pointed her index finger at Karen and said, “Stop your mouth Karen, You are going overboard. How dare you to speak ill of my godmother. What do you want to tell me exactly is happening, tell me directly? If you can’t… just leave, I never waited and expected for a person who would come and save me from everything and nothing.”
Akshara pushed Karen away from her who was blocking her way; she rushed into the banquet table to save her Uncle who was followed by Karen silently murmuring “Axe, Wait”.Akshara told him, “Move away, if you don’t want to be hurt, Karen. I will speak for my Uncle, whatsoever sin he committed.”Akshara immediately rushed to the banquet table without further delay and she was shocked to witness the scene that the banquet table was empty and she could smell the odour of dead candles which were kept in the middle of the banquet table.She found no trace of any meeting held there previously and she suddenly turned her head to the window to notice the weather. When she found out the weather also changed from a furious thunderstorm to a cold breeze and the sky was clear with twinkling stars and beamed with moon rays, her heart merely skipped a beat.Akshara turned
The tons of puzzles have engaged the mind of Akshara and she barely slept. The golden lights of afternoon sunlight pierced through the bedroom window of Akshara, straight into her face.Sun and Shine (Akshara’s pet birds) entered through the window and settled near her bed and chirped to wake her up. Akshara slowly opened her eyes and glimpsed the memory of last night. Soon she hopped out of her bed and cleaned herself, and decided to get all the answers from Karen.But before meeting him, she wants to share everything she encounters with her dear friend Azile. She located her friend in the kitchen, who was helping her mom with lunch.Akshara entered the kitchen and hide from the doorway and signalled Azile to come out, despite coming out shook her head negatively to Akshara.Akshara whispered in a soft tone, “psst… psst… Azu... psst… Azu”&
While the three young dragons were in search of a witch palace everywhere, Akshara in Ardna Chirig was filled with many surprises. She wanted to get hold of everything, which seemed to be puzzled to her human knowledge. She wanted to untie the knots of riddles around her. So, she searched Karen to get her questions to be answered, as he promised her to reveal.In the dusky evening, everyone was settled in their room, Yadivah pleaded to her husband in their room by holding his hands, “Bruz, you can’t do this.”Alabruz replied with exhaustion with face-palming with one hand, “I have to do this to safeguard the life of Akshara.”The name of Akshara mentioned by her husband triggered her inner rage, “You are going to risk your life for her. (She threw the tantrum by taking her hands from his hands) When will this come to an end? When are we going to live in peace? We too have
The haze of fear was spread every corner of the deep forest of Andhar Mountain. The inhalation becomes even harder for Akshara. As her lungs were running out of oxygen, she begins to fill in through her mouth. The terror sucked every breath from her mouth.She could feel that her heart begins to beat faster rapidly. Akshara’s skin started secretions of sweating to keep her body cool. She stood behind the tree with hands in her mouth to cover her breath sound not to be heard by the demonic beast behind the enormous tree.Even though he is not the man she knows an hour before, it’s a beast. Only Terrific Beast!Karen who now completely transformed into a werewolf could smell her fear, approached her to reveal his true self and called in a wolfish tone, “Axe…!”Akshara freaked out in panic and her brain was preparing instantly to two options FIGHT OR FLIGHT.
The rage of the storm begins to rise severely with a loud sound, collecting all the specks of dust. The rigorous sound of the storm killed her eardrums and the specks of dust were filled in her eyes. Akshara could feel that her hands were holding something tightly. Karen reached her to help, for which he was ignored by her.Akshara with a scared voice asked him, ”What do you want?”Karen replied in a wolfish tone, “I want to help you” for which the reply fromAkshara had thrown an immense blow at his mind, “If you want to help me, and then stop following me. Just stay away from me.”Karen replied in a sad tone, “Axe, stop yelling AWAY word at me. I wanted to help you.”Akshara quoted one of the sayings which she remembered suddenly, “Wolf worried of its prey being drenched in rain.”Karen stood silen

Though being the strongest female warrior in the entire Ayruzglow kingdom, she felt the pain gravely.What hurt her most was not the wound on her left-winged arms; it’s the failure she grasped in the battle between Queen of Black Witch and warrior pack of werewolves.While hovering over the Black Iris Forest, the tired wing of Nora leads her to a rough landing in the bank of Fairy Tears River.Nora smashed her head against the piece of rock.
