Standing at the threshold of the bureau, she gripped the pendant in her hand tightly and looked up at the sky. A wild smile flashed on her face, to be specific a sinister one.

"Then should I consider it a yes?"

She walked out as an answer to his question.

"Lord, did she just reject you?"

"It's her choice." The disappointment on his face was vivid.

"Lord.." The guard at the gate rushed in and kneeled before him.

"The lady asked us to give it back." He presented the pendant.

Vakul grabbed the pendant from his hand. His face lightened up instantly.

"I will be looking forward to working with you."

"Lord, what do you mean by that? Didn't she just reject your offer by returning the pendant? "Vakul turned towards Nilan and patted his head; "She asked me to keep this pendant for her."

The water palace was in silence despite its effusive celebration a while ago. All the guests were sent back. Guards were stationed around the palace to report her arrival. Aras was waiting in the front yard. He

    Lord... Nilan looked at the pendant hanging in his master's belt with disapproval."Lord, it's almost a year. We have never seen her again. You had even deployed serpent forces in search of her. Lord... you don't even know her name; how long are you going to wait."A calm smile caressed his face gently, "Nilan; I am not waiting for someone. I am keeping a promise.""Lord maybe; but many are curious.""Curious??""Yesterday, the crowned prince asked me about this pendant. It's not common for a prince to suddenly wear a pendant and keep it this long.""Brother asked about this pendant?? What did you say?""I just told him you were interested. ""hmm... It seems like we can only go to the bureau afternoon." He walked out and jumped on his horse, "First to the palace."The streets were full of life. With the sudden galloping sound of horses, people moved from the road, some with respect and others with fear. The name serpent bureau was enough to be compared with a nightmare. It acted as

    The crowd was dispersed but the bureau was filled with their whispers. He took her to the office with a composed attitude, a glib sham he tried to keep before her."You were..""Did you just remember my lord??" The words from Nilan were pugnacious and proof of his disapproval."No... Where were you for one year?" asked Vakul calming the tense situation Nilan was slowly stirring."I went back to seek permission from my martial sect. It took a year.""Where is this sect that took this long to give permission and mysterious that even the serpents failed to locate you."She slowly walked towards Nilan, her calmness was the confirmation of her claim. "I understand; one year has disappointed you and your master. You can ask me the questions you have.""We know nothing about you; not even your name," Vakul replied.She started with a smile, "Krithika. I practice martial arts in the water sect.""Water sect??""We live in seclusion in the faraway mountains and practice to attain spirituality.

    "Aras... Aras..." Ahaan rushed into the water palace running straight to Aras's chamber. His cry was as loud as the entire palace was alerted. He pushed the guards stamping the doors open. He stood still before Aras. A petrified Ahaan was a rare sight for almost 1000 years."Out... I want to speak to him in private." Ahaan's gaze was sharp toward the maids in the chamber.Aydin joined the conversation just before they started. His state was no better than Ahaan's."What happened Ahaan? It's scary."He took a deep breath, "Aras, listen to me calmly. Kriti is in the mortal world right...""So..""She is in love with a human," Aydin said in a single breath."What??" He looked at Ahaan, perplexed as if he couldn't just process the words."What do you mean??""We visited the mortal world to give her a surprise but.. we saw her with him..""enough!" Aras stopped Ahaan and Aydin. He rushed to the mortal world followed by them. He fell into the world like a bolt of wild lightning, that no win

    The palace of wisdom was brewing in agitation."I have checked his fate. It's void." Aydin informed them."From the moment Kriti entered his life, it has been null." He said."Aydin... anything else by which we can get her back?" asked Ahaan."I think this will help, Aydin said slowly. A war is going to fall on his kingdom shortly. But... but it won't affect him.""It will affect him," Aras said with a deep tension in his eyes. "This war is going to cost him.""Aras!" Ahaan stared at his words. "An immortal interfering in a mortal's life... ""And why kill him?" Aydin completed his words."The punishment for this is... Do you think as the god of lightning, I can't even handle some mere thunderbolts? As for him, I owe this and I will repay this injustice faced by him in his next life."Aras returned to the mortal world assigning them tasks in heaven. He was puzzled by the days ahead. By the deeds he is going to do, he was sure that things won't remain the same with Kriti anymore but he

    The way through the woods was damp as it rained for the last few days. As she walked about halfway, it slowly started to rain. She stood under a tree casting a shield from falling water drops. The raindrops were dripping through the canopy and slowly slipping above the shield into the land. The recent developments in the country and the sudden war seemed odd to her. The rain was getting stronger.A sudden hunch made her observe. She suddenly placed both her hands on the ground. A strong horror overwhelmed her eyes. She looked straight and galloped in the rain. Her spells couldn't keep up with her pace. The soldiers were in armor, assembled before their base. She didn't stop and dashed into his tent. He was in his armor, alone ready for the battle. She stood before him, drenched, breathing heavily disquiet;"Why this war??"He darted towards her, inspecting her soaked state and giving her a towel."They have advanced for early war." He took the towel from her hands and dried her wet ha

    Water was dripping from her robes."I.. I... " She stood baffled as he left for the war leaving her in a tangle. She didn't expect his confession. It was out of the blue. The war and its circumstances, she forgot why she rushed to meet him nor could she warn him about the new military advisor."But.. how can I... " Her mind traveled back to his proposal. The time she asked from Aras is going to end.Going back.., for the days she spent here, she has never planned about the day parting with him.Thinking back, starting from the day they met at the night market till today, all her memories in this journey had him. She was finding it hard to imagine a day without him.'I should go back, it's a promise I made.Am I going back just because of the promise?' She was trying hard to sort her mind."I am the crown princess of heaven, I am betrothed." She clenched her sword hard, reminding her responsibilities.But... There is no crown prince waiting for me... She thought."No... As an immortal,

    The battleground was silent. They all perished. She started to search for him among them moving the corpses around her crazily. She howled like an insane beast thirsty for vengeance. She was losing her control and took her sword, raised it towards heaven."Heaven!! Get ready to pay for their life."A spear landed from heaven near her. It was the solar spear of Ahaan. She stretched her sword slashing his spear out of her way.Ahaan landed with the spear in his hand, " Kriti, come back.""Lord of Sun, do you think you can stop me?" She pointed her sword toward him."Everything has a reason. Please."She looked at the body of Nilan staying motionless and pushed the sword touching his throat,"Where is he?""Ok. I know I can no longer stop you." He raised his spear and took her into his formation. She was dropped into another dimension; It was a replica of the ground except that there were no soldiers."Aras?" They both were standing face to face. The presence of her dear brother shattere

    "Why did you do this Aras?" Her voice was melancholic but resolute enough for an explanationHe held her hands "you are willing to call my name, Kriti?" His words were merrier than depressed."My soul was guarding this land for almost five centuries. I know you never killed them. You just knocked them to force me.Why did you plot this? I just got swayed for a moment.""As your brother, I would have been the happiest person for my Kriti to fall in love but you are not just my sister.""Why!!! I just loved." Her breath was heavy."You should know, in heaven, even the god of freedom has to pawn his freedom before responsibilities.""Responsibilities?? Where is your responsibility towards Vakul, his death?""His life.""Life??""Kriti, heaven has no news of Vakul or Yuvan. If the father gets to know about him, they won't just kill him but will destroy his soul so that he can never get reincarnated. For all these years I have guarded this secret against every eagle of heaven and hell. We

    "It has been fifty years. Why don't you go inside to see him?" Aras stood near his sister who was on the border of Amai for five decades waiting for him. "I am afraid; If I meet him again... " She sounded tired. "Even after all these years you still can't let go of him. Why don't you return to heaven?" "Because of my selfishness, I ruined his two life. I have to make sure that his next life will be smooth and prosperous. " "You just want to meet him for the last time and tell him, you never misunderstood nor hated him." "Maybe... Yes. I don't want him to leave with regret and disappointment. I want him to be happy for eternities from now on." "My little sister is grown up..." Aras hugged her with his left hand. Loud bells gonged all around Amai. The king is dead... She pressed her hand in anguish. She was sweating, her breath was getting denser. 'He is coming... I am meeting him... For the last time. Will he resent me' Her mind was full of thoughts? "Apu... " She turned back.

    They went back with Naman and Ashok. Her death was his biggest punishment and he was punished for a lifetime. He sat on the aisle for a whole day. Tears rolled and caressed his lips dropping on the mask in his lap. All envoys left Amai fearing Hiranga. Amai was completely alienated from that day. Abhik and Charan stood beside him. He loved his di and Ashok was a brother to him. It was as if he lost all his siblings on that day. They couldn't process her death or the newly introduced cobras.A sudden thought struck Yuvan and he rushed from the palace. He rode his horse like a madman and entered his mansion. Abhik and Charan followed him. When they reached there, they heard his cry. It was from his room. They saw him collapse on the floor."Bruddah..."They saw him clenching the mask and weeping hardly. "They took everything, everything she had here except this mask that witnessed her... last... tears.""Out... Out..." He pushed both of them out of his room and ordered every person to b

    "Amanya... Apeksha..." His legs were shaking. Was it because of the poison or her name, he was not sure. The day from Sayyonee to the last feast flashed in his mind. His face was sad,"was it all a plan?" The undercover legacies of Amanya ringed his ears."Whatever she planned was her responsibility just like you planned beside her as Yuvraj. But.. meeting you and falling for you were pure accidents." Ashok answered his whispers."Accidents??!!" His red eyes stared at them in umbrage."For you, she left her country, her crown, her privileges' of a queen; but... you let her down.She trusted you, to be with you she was silent about Amai's injustices. Every day was a thin ice. She walked on it just to live with you.""You let her down..." Dhruva roared.Jiva stared at Yuvan, "On that day, when you barged into my kingdom; I just asked you one thing and it was her happiness. You promised me; then where is she??" his eyes were red."You can't even protect your wife from these hypocrites, h

    The palace court was eagerly waiting for him. Envoys from different countries who arrived at the feast of their wedding had not left the country. They were stationed to discuss the recent powerplay of Hiranga in Amai. But what they witnessed shook them. They experienced the psychotic arrogance of Cobra. Though they were feigning courage, their faces were pale. Their fear was evident. The majestic door of the court was opened for Yuvan. He could see the real situation of Amai from them. "What is happening outside?" "Did you catch them??" Questions were flowing from all directions. "Yesterday, Amai was in a fire. All our irrigation fields and shops were burnt and we have concluded that it is done by Hiranga." Abhik and Charan with the subordinate of Mahesh entered the room. Mekala was already present in the court with her father. All the generals were summoned and stationed outside the palace. Soldiers were all over the streets. Within two days the complete system of Amai was in cha

    Thick fumes covered the capital. Cries for help spiraled from every direction. Soldiers and people filled the streets trying to blow out the fire. But the fire spread out faster and was multiplying its reach on all sides. Within time, the entire farming of the Amaian capital was burning. They rushed to the nearby fields and joined them trying to bring down the fire."Lord, it was set manually. We smell the oil." Charan reported.People were crying loud in their burnt fields. They lost their hard work before their naked eyes."Lord!! " Some soldiers rushed towards them in fright."Lord, the shops are on fire. ""What??" They couldn't even get time to understand the situation they are in. They hurried with the soldiers. People were running frantically and the streets were in complete chaos. The entire capital was on fire. Soldiers assembled large water pipes and sprayed them. By night they were able to bring down the fire but it exhausted the capital totally. They were afraid to leave t

    She was rested in the flower bed. It was filled with white lilies and candles. Even the majestic armor couldn't hide her sorrow. Her sword and mask were removed from the coffin. The entire crowd was silent. Jiva caressed her and adorned her face with rouge and flowers. Tears were dripping in the room engulfed in silence and darkness."Till her end, she was the princess of Hiranga, the serpent queen but she was also the crowned princess of Amai. She should get the farewell she deserved." Jiva tuned towards Ashok and stumbled over Naman who just witnessed her silence."Naman, lead her to Hiranga with Deva. But you should be back by morning.""Prince then you..""I should stay..." He looked at her lifeless body in silence.Yuvan was brought back to his mansion. The entire night in the peak of angst exhausted him. He was tired but resolute to turn every stone he met in his favor. The loneliness around him was submerging him in darkness."Bruddah, Ashok... is missing." Abhik rushed to his

    Yuvan was slowly dropping his hopes. The only way to prove her innocence was Mekala but she was too scared even to speak. Despite her state, she insisted on being clean. She admitted to harming and trying to frame Apu but with a fazan that surprisingly vanished from the scene. A cobran cloak and dagger are not in the capacity of Mekala. Only two days are left. He was too reluctant to leave the mansion of Mahesh empty-handed as he is not sure of his next destination or a new lead."Lord..." Charan stopped his horse in the mid of the road. His lips were shivering and his hands on the rein were shaking."Did you find something to save her??" He was miserable."Lord please follow me.." he galloped on the road. Yuvan followed him to the burnt prison. Large fumes filled the clouds above the land. Yuvan got off with trembling legs. He stood in a daze but was stirred by the fall of walls. He rushed in but was blocked from all sides."Apu... Apu..." He screamed with all his strength. He collap

    He rolled out of the prison. The thunder stopped but the skies were still dark as if they were ready to mourn for her."She... is..."His lips were dead. He kneeled before the gate of the prison and screamed."Ashok... " A distressed voice echoed behind him. He was feeble for any response. His entire body was numb."What happened??" Another sound forced him to raise his head. Dhruva looked at him in angst."Ashok... Crowned prince and general Dhruva is here to rescue commander back." Deva spoke in a monotonous tone." Let me meet her." He tried to get up but the guilt and remorse were too much for his shoulders.He couldn't face his prince nor a word was uttered from him. All he could do was cry. He cried his heart out. They panicked at his conduct."What happened??"He bowed striking his head on the floor and extended his hands; stained with her blood.He groaned; "I... failed... her.""What?? " Dhruva grabbed his hands tightly, their eyes were red."Repeat it.. if you dare?""Lord...

    The spectral darkness gulped the walls of the prison. She was hushed, her tears were rolling down.The deep silence inside the cell was getting interrupted by lightning. A heavy footstep was approaching her. She had decided her end and was waiting for him."Ashok...""Amanya..." Ashok was fuming in vengeance but this mighty word in prison sounded despondent."Ashok... I have decided to leave here." Her words were lifeless."Commander, your guilty sub-captain is here, waiting for your order." His words were suddenly loud as if he dared to proclaim his reality to the entire Amai."Bring my sword and mask. I wish to leave here as the commander of serpents."He was back within an hour. She is going to complete her life in the world. There are many she wished to do, yet she has to go without a farewell."Ashok..." Words from her were a big relief for him, " Come back after an hour.
