The mask and black cloaks were enough for the hostages to understand the situation. They were tied and silenced but their folds were removed. Intense light gushed into their eyes leaving their vision blurred and retaining its power gradually."All the maids here are lackeys of Mekala placed near the commander. Cobras with lord are assembled in a room." Deva informed Ashok."Check among them and confirm for the mole. As for them, they had tried to poison Devi before. Starve them and put them in the dark prison.""Ashok, I have a gut feeling, we don't have a mole among us.""Your reasons?""If we had a mole who is capable of trapping the commander, then he should be able to lock us both. Also, the mole doesn't know that Devi is commander Amanya. This contradicts the above statement.""I hope so." Ashok stroked his chin."Lord, a guard walked in; we have confirmed no one in the room is a mole.""Ok." Ashok stood from his chair and walked towards the window. The night was colder than the
The sky was crowded with dense clouds that even the sunrise was obscured. Eagles flew around the prison and crows flew above the palace in large. The capital is no longer in peace. The streets were filled with people worried about their queen; though she was not crowned officially. They waited for their prince's action and his majesty's verdict declaring her innocent.The court was unrest. Ministers were debating among them about the probability of her crime. Even the arrival of the king couldn't completely stop this uncertainty. Their whispering filled the walls of the Amaian court. A massive bolt of lightning flashed in the sky rumbling the court. It became silent all of a sudden. The atmosphere started to be eerie. The morbid silence filled in the pillars of the court. The ministers were anxious at the bad omens. The loud footstep of a battalion echoed on the ground. Yuvan entered the court perspiringly with his sub-generals."Father.." He bowed with troubled eyes."What happened??
Blood smeared with his sword. The sight was too frightening leading to some old ministers fainting on the spot. Yuvan blocked Mekala but she saw her maid lying in the bed of fazan as it seemed."Naman.. escort the king back and guards take the ministers back." The entire scene was evacuated within minutes. The maid was as white as a ghost as her whole blood was drained out."Lord, her body has 100 fazans. " Charan said with a stern voice."They are too inhumane. But.. why do they have to attack this mere maid in such a cruel way. What is their message??" Ashok went near Yuvan to know his emotions."Inhumane!! Ashok this act can't be simplified by a small word." Abhik was still in his trauma."Lord is it Devi's...?""I am also thinking the same. her brothers can't be belittled. But...""What??" Ashok was getting curious at their confusion."If it is her brother's work, then they should know that there are only two days remaining now. even if they wanted to revenge, they would have wait
Wake up!! The man was standing in front of her in a black cloak. He looked like a cobra but he wasn't. His demeanor was like that of a commander. His face wasn't clear and from her current situation, it wasn't sure whether he was a friend or foe. From yesterday's event, she was sure that she was betrayed by a cobra. But all these facts were not restraining her. The unknown man gave her unexplainable confidence and trust. She slowly put her hands through the iron bars trying to reach his face. Seeing her actions, he moved a step back and removed the cloak. In the bizarre light, she saw his face; "Jiva... Brother, why are you here... Jiva..." He remained silent until she stopped her words. He took a step front and raised his hand. Time stopped at that instant. She couldn't believe her eyes. The flame of the lantern in front of her stood still. She was taken aback in shock. He moved towards her and passed through the rails as if he had no body but just a soul. Amanya lay on the grou
"Lord, everything is arranged as per your order." A guard reported. Even after the report, he was not satisfied; he still walked around the immortal lily garden. The palace of water was decorated as the most beautiful palace in the entire heaven. Guards in white armor were walking all around occupied with decorating pieces of stuff, all confused and excited."Aras... Calm down. If I was not an old lord, I would have confused the water palace with the supreme palace. Even the people with the invitation may think it is your wedding day!!""Aydin, Now I know the reason for humans behaving so confused these days.." Ahaan walked into the conversation with his sun fan."Why??" Aydin pouted."Because the lord of knowledge's head is screwed.." Ahaan was known for his wit among all the gods."Aydin... This is Krithika's 20th birthday. You guys may tease me but I still feel it is not enough. ""Aras... We know how important your sister is to you but brother this... this is splendid."Ahaan: "We
The palace of water is all set to celebrate its lady's birthday. Unlike her other birthdays, this was special. Ranging from the small immortal fairies to the supreme lord of heaven were invited to witness her day. Gods of different Supremes flew to celebrate with her. She walked down the aisle in a flowing white dress with lilies embraided and diamond bordered to greet the guest. Accompanied by loud trumpets and flowers, the supreme god of heaven walked in with her father; the god of water. They were seated at the head and thus started the celebration. After the feast, the supreme god rose on his chair and clapped his hands. The current queen of heaven walked in with a group of 24 heaven maids following her to the feast. She was in a golden robe with her powerful wand, her official attire. Her emergence was unpredicted. She hadn't shown up in the public for almost a decade.Alun, God of water rose from his seat and preceded towards Krithika. He picked up her cold hands and walked towa
The sudden events lead to a storm in her heart. Crown princess?? How have things changed suddenly? How can she be betrothed to a man who is ...Her wild thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Aras."Aras... " She looked at him with the same gaze she looked at her father during the event. It seemed all her dear had deep secrets with them."Krithi... It's not that we wanted to hide; but..""What?? When did I get engaged??""On your birth," Aras answered looking straight into her eyes."Aras... At least now, speak; who is he, crowned prince of heaven? Why have I not heard of him? ""Do you remember the war of hell a decade ago? During the war, the crown prince lead the war and defeated the demon himself to end the sufferings of three realms.""Then??""He was exhausted and went missing. Some believe he will return and others believe he sacrificed himself to end the war." His words backfired on her. Instead of calming her, the truth angered her."I got it. I am going to the mortal world. I
She stood still. Demons won't dare to point a mere human sword at her. The sword was still and its owner was a determined hand. She remained calm and slowly turned. The man wore a royal dress and was in armor. He snatched the pendant from her hand and examined it carefully; "Take her to the Serpent bureau." He walked back and his subordinates handcuffed her. "Heyy!! What are you doing... Leave me... Who are you? Why are you.." They dragged her. Instead of being angry she was more curious about the new situations around her and decided to play it by ear. They lead her to a big office building with a large board 'Serpent Bureau'. It was crowded with soldiers similar to his dress. He sat on his chair on an elevated platform while she was presented on the ground. He caressed his double sword and pointed at her.His subordinate questioned her, "Tell us, where is the list?" "List?? What list??" "Don't play the fool. If not why do you have the pendant?" "Sir... Believe me. I am a lone
