Chapter-12

"With this, we have only one culprit before us..." Nirav said with cold eyes.

"But lord, if... I am saying what if the traces were destroyed?" Adhyant asked 

"Adhyant, I don't understand; you are the general of Heaven's army. Why are you always siding with the night tribe." Nirav asked angrily.

"Lord, It's not me being a renegade but you are being too prejudiced... just like the floral tribe being with the heavens. They without any evidence blamed the heavens and somehow we are also doing the same." Adhyant told his real words after bottling them up for a long.

"Sorry... Lord... I will take my leave..." He bowed and left. Nirav noticed his general's eyes were teary.

"Bhavin... this??"

"Hmmm... I think you don't know about his childhood..."

"Childhood!!??" Nirav was still perplexed.

"Adhyant lived near the borders of the floral realm from childhood. Almost all his childhood friends were flower elves. But after the issue, they declared the entire heaven as their enemy which includes Adhyant. he never again met his friends and it has been almost 2000 years. 

"Among us three, he has the biggest reason to find the culprit," Bhavin said looking at the doors he left open.

"I know... I am too fixated on the night tribe. I will try to analyze better." Nirav said clenching his hand.

"Then... a break..." They both went behind Adhyant following him.

Aadrika and Nilay reached the gates of the capital.

"Lord, from here is the capital city Amidah. " They queued with others for identity checks. After that, they took a stroll on the street. It was full of shops and people. Unlike other places she visited, the people here were either dressed too luxuriously or in cheap clothes. Middle-class people were too rare.

"Lord, where are we heading to?" Nilay asked knowing the answer.

"To the place where Esha decided to give up her heart to a demon." She deviated from the hustling crowd and headed towards the side alley.
