Akshara was surprised to see one sword, “Huh, Only one sword? How will you teach me with one?"
Dev smirked at her, Akshara shook her head in no, “Devil, no, I know your devious plan. I am not falling for it.”
Akshara tried to run away from him while he grabbed her from behind. “Hum hum, you can’t escape me,” saying he tucked his hand around her waist while his other hand held the sword, “Like this.”
“Are you going to teach me in this position?” Akshara asked while inhaling deeply.
“Yes, hold the sword,” Dev instructed her.
Dev’s face drew closure to hers resulting the goosebumps on her; she fixed her eyes on him. The mix

The ferocious animal grunted and witnessed the amulet of Akshara on her neck glow brightly to make her vulnerable to seeing what was happening. Akshara’s pet birds chirped loudly and closed their eyes in extreme brightness. The amulet on her neck glittered and formed a layer of light around her body. The light covering her healed her physical wounds, while in her dreams, Dev was making love to her. In dreams, Akshara felt the healing that gave her vital strength and pushed Dev to hover over him. She surprised him with her ultimate moves and kisses. Dev enjoyed every string of this dream, and Akshara told him, with her overwhelming smile, "Come to me, Devil. I need you." The next morning, Akshara woke up to find that she was no longer in the dream world. She was back in the real world, and Dev was nowhere to be found. She was alone with her pet birds chirping next to her. She found her wounds vanished without any marks. ***** In
ICICLES OF GOLDEN BLOOD 69. Exposure of Love
Back in the forbidden tower, Dev had a really hard day fighting the raven wizards but felt some happiness in winning over Igikran once again. The dried rays of the moon did not give him a cool night; his eyes were awakened with sleeplessness and he gazed widely at the moon. "Aren’t you asleep, Dev?" Ivan asked while leaning on the floor beside him, staring at the moon. "It’s surprising that you are still awake." Dev looked at the full moon and exhaled his distress. "She is suffering." Ivan started to ask who but bit his lower lip knowing the answer, "What happened to her?" "I saw her wounds," Dev said in a sad tone with furrowed brows. Ivan wondered at his reply, "What? Wounds? It’s surprising." "Surprised? Ivan, I am worried about her. You said she is like your sister. How can you be surprised at her wounds? " Dev lifted his head, turned to his side, and showed his anger. "You should be worried. At the least, you have to show some con
ICICLES OF GOLDEN BLOOD 70. Ivan' s Lost Soul
A few suns and moons have raced against the clock, and Akshara’s life in the ice castle has been scheduled to ‘Rest Less and Works More’. Eating becomes the reward for her tireless work. Akshara would share her reward, i.e., food, with her pet birds, Sun and Shine.Her roommate, the ferocious animal, doesn’t look ferocious anymore to her. She finds it cute and kind. When her work didn’t meet the reward, the ferocious animal would help her with the fruits from the tree located in the dungeon.Akshara had rotted in the dungeon with the ferocious animal, which had more mercy on her than the castle's inhabitants. Nora and Indigo did everything they could to bring their evil to torture Akshara solely because of her title as the Hybrid Crown Prince's Bride.Apart from the tiring day, Akshara found joy in fewer resting hours. Dev’s words lingered in her mind, "Come into my arms wherever you are in trouble.” The ecstasy of runni

In the east wing of Ice Castle,Nora stood before her large mirror, adjusting her garments while her maids stood beside her, heads facing down. Nora’s sharp ears heard some murmuring noise behind her, and she eyed the mirror. Her maids gossiped and chuckled at each other without realising Nora was watching them through the mirror."What’s so amusing?" Nora asked them with an evil smile on her lips, "Am I not qualified to get involved in your amusements?" She asked them without turning back while attaching the embellishment to her garment.All the maids were gulping terror and fear for their lives. Nora is known for her fiery approach to her anger; she would burn anything with her purple heated flames into ashes.One of the maids opened her mouth, "My lady, we are talking about the girl that was brought by our crown prince."Nora gritted her teeth and destroyed the embellishment in her hands, and the maids took a step back, dreading Nora's wrath. Nora turned her look to nothingness and

After a few minutes of discussion with the dark knight, Dev spoke to his mother, “My queen, I must take our dark knight with me with your consent. His presence is a need in the Forbidden Tower.”“I might want you to be my side, Dev.” The white queen told him. But Dev smiled at her, “Mother, I know you are the strongest woman of all ages. Whatever you decide, you will have a deep consideration of me.”“But you are the topic of today’s gathering, Dev, I...” Before the white queen could complete her words, Dev told her in low voice, “You take care of everything here (gesturing towards the Las Oajar). I will take care of everything there. (Mentioning the Forbidden Tower) Good sound of the deal, isn’t it?”“Dev, Dev,” while the white queen was repeatedly calling her son, Dev smiled at her in reply. Dev and the dark knight were exempted from the court

The word spread across the corners of the world, but not to the dungeon inside the ice castle. Las Oajar passed its verdict to the queen of Ayruzglow to invite brides from neighbouring kingdoms upon the bride selection of the crown prince of Ayruzglow, who was alleged to be crowned as king of Ayruzglow with his queen.With her ambiguous mind, Nora was filled with a poisonous desire to ruin every ounce of charm Akshara bought. Nora was determined to make Akshara become the rumour that echoed over the icy walls of the Ayruzglow kingdom."I don’t know who else I have to fight with to get Dev. First, it was the witch from Frozen Crescent, and now it's random brides from allied kingdoms. I can’t tolerate Dev being with anyone." Nora decided to update her torment to include Akshara."I intend to destroy the charm that engrossed my D

Dev was standing over the top edge of the tower, watching for assailants with his arms to hold back his broadened chest, just before Akshara entered the burning orchid. His icy blue eyes were alert to any sound coming from any direction, and his ears were alert to any sound coming from any direction. Ivan was singing a hymn."Ivan, stop polluting this atmosphere with your unbearable hymns," Dev said, despite Ivan's hymns being unpleasant and unbearable.Ivan didn’t listen to Dev but continued tying some cloth around his feet. Dev asked about his action, "What are you doing?""When I last turned into a dragon, I burnt my shoes. So I am covering my feet." Ivan replied while tightening the cloth around his feet."Add two more layers; you might melt the castle with your heat flaring feet." Dev mocked him, and before Ivan could reply, Dev added, "with your mouth shut. Don’t invite any intruders with your noise.""Devvvv. I am Ivan, not a siren to sing a mesmerising song to attract any sail
ICICLES OF GOLDEN BLOOD 75. Shades of Indigo
Indigo, the dragon maid of Nora stood awestruck in front of the orchid which turned into ashes. She wasn’t able to move any of her muscles on seeing the happenings in the orchid.“Is she really chosen by our crown prince? The amulet, he gave her, is really protecting her on his behalf. It lit off the fire set by Nora and healed her too. Indeed, she is chosen one.” Indigo talked to herself and rushed toward Akshara after the fire was out completely.Akshara was lingering in her partial conscious talking to Dev. She woke up suddenly when she heard his voice whispering in her ears, “Wake up, Sara. It’s time for you to find yourself.”Akshara opened her eyes and saw Indigo standing in front of her and she asked Akshara, “What were you blabbering?”Akshara tried to stand up and fall immediately to the ground. She tried again with the echo of Dev’s voice which was instantly boosting her. She glanced at Indig

But Karen maintained a void expression on his face since he had seen her feelings for Dev in life back in Crystal Forest.Before Akshara could enter the witch palace, she assigned everyone the task of gathering their army. Karen was not convinced to leave her alone, “Axe, I cannot leave you alone. I cannot trust the witch inside. Let me accompany you.”Akshara smirked and reply, “Karen, I can defend myself. I don’t want any guard to protect me.”Karen replied with a ragged tone, “Axe, why do you always push me away from you… Am I nobody to you?”Akshara replied, “Karen, you are brave and powerful.

The pack of Delta werewolves sensed danger behind him and was ready to rescue their Beta Prince with all their lives.When Karen was about to leave the ice castle, Dev denied taking his bride with him. Even though Dev got an explanation from Akshara, he was not ready to give up his bride to a werewolf.Dev stopped Karen from taking Akshara with him, "You can’t take my bride away from me, never."Dev was jinxed to the ground, which cracked, and many plants of wolf's bane emerged from the cracks. The smell from the wolf's bane plant stroked Karen’s nose, and Karen was driven mad at that smell.The dragon warr

Karen searched everywhere in his werewolf form inside the castle for Akshara. Nora informed him that Akshara was in the dungeon. Karen in his haste of looking at Akshara smashed everyone who ever appeared in front of him.Karen rushed to find the way to the dungeon ferociously. He wandered in random directions to the way of the dungeon, like a lunatic beast.*****Akshara was taken out of the dungeon by Dev after healing her. But, Akshara wanted more time to convince herself of his doings. "I can’t be convinced that easily with his smooches. Your actions broke me into pieces. Do you think I would forgive you after your flirting acts?"Akshara confronted him, "I was touched when you saved my dignity in the Frozen Crescent. Back in there, everyone cursed me for seducing you; they even called me a witch to jinx you to fall for me with the help of my external beauty. (She smacked her lips) But you rushed to give me this amulet by shutting everyone’s mouth.""But, no one realizes that you

In the dungeon,Dev remained silent, accepting his mistake of delaying meeting her when she was awake rather than waiting for the true culprit to reveal himself. His wait had damaged all his hopes of retrieving his love and he realized his mistakes.Akshara continued to accuse him, "Devil, you would have jinxed us to merge our dreams as you always do. But you never did anything to explain it to me."Akshara continued her accusations, while Dev remained silent. "Every morning I've been disappointed that I haven't met you. I've had several rejections when I tried to meet you. Dear Devil, I have run out of love and strength. I'm completely out of blood, and I don't even have any tears in my eyes. I've gone insane because I keep asking myself why you pushed me away from you.""I have never pushed you away, and I promise never to. Let us hear your heart; the only thing keeping me away from you is your mouth." She was urged by Dev."There is nothing to hear or ask." Akshara inhaled all her

The light penetrated through the cave, where Akshara saw her mother again. Akshara stood to her feet and watched her closely. Sinentha had brought meat from a goat to feed the hungry wolf.The wolf ate the whole goat. Akshara found that the scene was fast-forwarded, as she could see her mother coming and feeding the wolf every day.The feeble wolf in the cave had grown into a healthy wolf thanks to Sinentha's food. One day, the wolf howled continuously, which pierced the ears of Akshara.Akshara shouted, blocking her ears with her hands, "You, stop howling. My ears are hurting. Why do you howl? Keep quiet. Wait for my mother to come and feed you."Akshara closed her mouth with her hands. The wolf turned into a man and knelt before Akshara. "Why all beasts deceiving me by turning into humans?" She exclaimed.Akshara left out the word "Uncle Bruz?" through her closed mouth.Akshara remembered everything about Uncle Bruz and his son Karen, who loved her crazily and risked his life taking

The scene again changed to an open garden where twins were dressed in the same colour and looked identical to each other. Akshara was perplexed as to which one was Mira and which one was Ria.The first girl told another, "Let me go first to check on his love for you. Men are cheaters."The second girl nodded and hid near the bush where Akshara was standing. As Akshara was invisible, she tailed the girl who had gone to meet the man. Akshara came to the conclusion that the first girl was Mira and the second was Ria, hiding behind the tree.When Mira was waiting in the garden, the man in golden armour appeared. Mira had fallen for the man at her very first sight, but she hesitantly thought of her twin sister, Ria.The man in golden armour confessed his love to Mira, and Mira readily accepted his love. Akshara shouted at Mira, "Hey Mira... He is your sister Ria’s possession. Don’t do that. Tell him the truth."The man said, "Same time, tomorrow. I will be waiting."Mira had sparkling eyes

In three suns and three moons, Akshara learned to tame the beast, El Detza, and in exchange, El Detza assisted her in entirely healing her wounds. Every day and night, El Detza would choke, snarl, and suffer greatly to expel whatever had entered its mouth.Nothing but Akshara attempted to enter El Detza's mouth when it was fast asleep. Despite her unpleasant temperament, El Detza revealed to her a secret path in the dungeon."What exactly is this? For my independence, a hidden passage?" Akshara raised an eyebrow."A door to all your inquiries," El Detza stated once and pushed her inside. "Are you getting rid of me?" Akshara inquired."Knowing the history is your choice." El Detza, the beast, showed her the hole in the dungeon and invited her to enter. Akshara denied it, but it pushed her farther into the abyss.While Akshara walked onward, the hole in the dungeon spread into a cave. El Detza cut a section of rock from the cave to allow ventilation and light to enter.The moon rays wer

The Ayruzians cheered to welcome Dev, but he maintained his equanimity when he looked at either side. On his right, it was his dearest friend, Ivan Shirk, who was chained to the ground, and on his left, he saw his hearty beloved girl, Akshara, who was soaked in her pool of blood with bruise marks.When Dev looked into her eyes, her ever-charming, exotic eyes were filled with tears. Akshara was broken into tears on seeing him. Akshara moved towards him but Dev looked away from her and hurried to stand by Nora.Akshara was upset and remained silent about his action. Nora thought, "Why did Dev appear all of a sudden to ruin all my plans?" "Now he will defend her. My entire plot has been smashed." "Err, I lost again."Nora tried to explain the situation to Dev, who stopped her by placing his arm around her shoulders. Nora looked at his hand and returned her looks to Dev who was facing forward.Everyone, including Akshara, was shocked to see his actions with Nora. Nora was overwhelmed with
