Days passed in a stately procession.
Words of warning, dismissed from brain as trivial matter.
Lying dead on the bed slipping into a dreamland babbling,
"Prince, please turn around. A glance at your charming face will make my day"
As the dream unfolds, her body started sweating, shivers running down her veins, her grips tightened on the sword,
"Mother! Father! Stop it"
Heart heaving to the maximum, anxious mind making her uneasy to breath eventually breaking her nightmare.
She woke up with a loud, "Noooo.."
Panic crept through her veins, blocked her thoughts, leaving the scar on her palm unnoticed.
"Burning sensation! My palm hurts!"
Then my eyes fell on the, bright, dazzling mould of metal.
I only knew the sword as an antique material preserved my father. I had no clue of strange powers surging within this sword.
A cunning smile crawling over my face, "This might hike the worth! I can claim more Ginni's from 'Serpent Queen'".
The very next day, at the day break my steps moved in the direction of battle ground. The last day of the offer.
"It feels good to be escorted rather than being abducted"
Sweet smile seen on the face of 'serpent queen' has lightened the mood of the room.
I barely noticed the luxurious view of the room the other day, as I was frightened.
Crystal chandelier in the centre illuminating every corner of the area influencing its dreamy appearance.
"If you finished scanning my chamber, I would love to have a look at your sword", words alarmed me.
"oh! Certainly", I handed over my sword to her.
The very moment, sword was freed out of the hold of leather scabbard, it was dazzling with the flames.
Untold rage of the burning flames of the sword, preparing itself to cremate the person in embrace.
Losing the control under the dominance of sword, Serpent Queen set her own chamber on fire.
"Aaah! Stop it. Orzala…."
"I have no idea how to deal with it"
Running around the battle ground haphazardly, setting fire on everything that crosses her path. Staff including Orzala running behind her,
"Queen …Queen"
"Bulls are escaping"
"Queen leave the sword"
"I can not"
"Use the power of water"
"I don't have such range of control to reduce these, overpowering flames"
"You little brat calm your sword down or I will see the end of you"
Cruse word on Orzala triggered the hidden temper of sword releasing higher flames enough to burn down the entire area to ash.
Rage of the sword consumed entire rich, dreamy, underground battle yard of 'Serpent Queen' in a few second, filling it with cinders.
Gloomy clouds acquired the sky, declaring the rise of real serpent from the grave, her steps moving towards me with the aggression of loss, hot and cold flushes running through my body
"You shall be my slave till I recover the cost of this destruction, It's not a suggestion but an order to follow"
Giving her verdict in cold voice, she told her men, "If she fails to follow, kill her"
"Oh! My poor soul, she could have told those harsh words once I was gone", picking up my sword
"This is the trouble solely created by you, why should I pay for your sins?!", angrily, cursing my fate, I headed back home.
Manly voice questioning with concern,
"Saisha, why did you lie?!"
"Revealing the truth to her immature self might prove dangerous, so having her close to us is a better option"
"What if you fail?"
A death glare making me realize my boundaries as a slave and she being my master,
"Losing is not an option to me. Either I get to survive or… he"
Past twelve at night
Sounds of weeping heard inside an abandoned palace room. A lady staring at a portrait mumbling,
"Mamma will save you.. Be brave and wait for me like a good child"
Hitting the table in anger lady yelled, "This calmness, is one that occupy the land before a devastating storm, and I will be that storm"
"Remember no one in the battle is more dangerous than a mother protecting her child", a man in a distance whispered with vicious smile.
At the same time, many other kingdoms were in turmoil, the consequence of naked ambitions of demons sustained by the evil spirt of Demon Lord, powered with blood stone.
