Chapter 37 : A New Era Of Drawns

Srishti's thoughts drifted back to the conversation she had overheard a few days ago. Someone had mentioned that the Shadow Realm had a new king, one who was surprisingly young - the same age as her. They had described him as kind and polite, and spoke of how he had helped his father, Xandros, break free from the influence of Malum and Zero. At the time, she had dismissed it as mere gossip, but now she realized that the new king was none other than Rishi.

Meanwhile, Rishi and his teammates had emerged victorious, defeating Mr. Kumar's army in a mere half hour. Rishi and Dhruv had even gained new members for their army - powerful shadow demons and undead warriors.

Mr. Kumar, once so confident in his powers, now knelt on the ground, defeated. Rishi approached him, his eyes gleaming with a mix of triumph and justice.

"Srishti, come here," Rishi said, his voice firm but gentle.

Srishti hesitated for a moment, then walked towards Rishi. He turned to her and said, "It's time to give your uncle the punishment he deserves."

Srishti nodded, her heart heavy with emotion. She knew that her uncle had brought this upon himself, but it was still hard to see him like this.

"What do you want me to do?" she asked Rishi.

Rishi's eyes narrowed. "I want you to decide his fate. He has wronged you and your family for far too long. It's time for justice to be served."

Srishti took a deep breath, steeling herself for what was to come...

Srishti's heart was heavy as she looked at her uncle, kneeling defeated on the ground. She had never wanted it to end like this, but she knew that justice had to be served.

"What will you do with him?" she asked Rishi, her voice barely above a whisper.

Rishi's expression was grim. "He will face trial for his crimes, and if found guilty, he will be punished accordingly."

Srishti nodded, knowing that this was the only way to ensure that her uncle would never harm anyone again.

As they led Mr. Kumar away, Rishi turned to Srishti and said, "But for now, let us celebrate our victory. A new era dawns on our world, one where darkness will no longer reign supreme."

Srishti smiled, feeling a sense of hope that she had not felt in a long time.

Rishi offered Srishti his hand. "Come, let us go to your father. Rishi says I already tell my friends to go and released your father from prison

Srishti's heart skipped a beat as she took Rishi's hand, and they walked together to the palace of Frosthaven. When they arrived, she saw her father lying on a bed, his body weak and frail.

Srishti's eyes welled up with tears as she rushed to her father's side. "Father!"

Rishi placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry, Srishti. Your father is back now. He will be the king of Frosthaven once more."

But Srishti couldn't hold back her tears. She wept, seeing her father in such a state.

Lyra, the Time Empress, approached them. "Do not worry, Srishti. I will restore your father to his former glory."

Rishi nodded. "Please, Lyra. Use your powers to heal him."

Lyra placed her hands on the king's body, and a warm, golden light enveloped him. Slowly but surely, the king's body began to transform, his strength and vitality returning.

Srishti watched in amazement, her tears of sorrow turning to tears of joy. "Thank you, Lyra. Thank you, Rishi."

Rishi smiled, his eyes shining with warmth. "You are welcome, Srishti. Your father is safe now."

And with that, the king of Frosthaven sat up, his eyes clear and strong once more. He looked at Srishti and smiled, his voice full of love and gratitude. "My dear daughter... I am proud of you."

Srishti embraced her father, overjoyed to have him back.

The king turned to Rishi and nodded in gratitude. "Thank you, Rishi. You have saved my kingdom and my daughter. I am forever in your debt."

Rishi smiled, his eyes shining with warmth. "You are welcome, Your Majesty. Let us work together to build a brighter future for our realms."
