Toshani's eyes slowly opened, focusing on a pillow near her face. She was lying on her stomach; her hair was strewn about. She lifted onto her elbows, wincing at the pain throughout her body. All her muscles were sore from exhaustive travelling and being tied up all the time, and she was incredibly thirsty and hungry. Her clothes were filthy, she had not changed in three days.
Prahsatha could feel his skull throb, he had been kept blindfolded and tied up ever since his capture. He could escape but he preferred to wait. He was patient.Apart from her screams when they were being transported from Llkash, he had not seen or heard of Toshani, he prayed that she was fine.He knew Rudra would no

Toshani brought her arms up, determined to overpower Rudra's sleeping form. Just as she was about to take a swing at him.Her throat was wrapped by his hand and squeezed. Instinctively, her hands clawed at his iron-clad grip, her eyes watering as she gasped for air.
Toshani woke up, it took her a few seconds to remember where she was and the events of the previous day.She had been brought into what she guessed a castle, then locked up in a luxurious chamber. She was blindfolded until she reached this room which she considered rather necessary; she was not planning to run away, nevertheless. She sighed as the memories of the earlier night came crashing back to her. Worse yet, she realized that there was an arm wrapped around her waist. Her heart pounding, she searched her memory for an explanation.
Shrushaw was sitting in front of a statue, the statue was of a man sitting in a meditative pose. His eyes were closed, a calm serene expression etched on its face."I have failed father, I was unable to save the princess," she sighed, her face etched in a frown.
Toshani folded her arms and leaned against the wall," explain". Rudra ran his hand through his hair and sighed.
"A human child who will be the reflection of the mother Goddess Aditi will have the ability to remove the seal of Indra and then cast the Asuras into the other world, releasing the unbound energy. The human child of Kashyap will be able to unlock her abilities. Once unlocked, only a great sacrifice will lock the seal."
