The candles were lighted in the centre of the banquet table with a peculiar style candle holder and the seats were fully taken up by the loyal members of Mrs Blackfire. Alabruz Redclaws was on his knees beside Mrs Blackfire.
Yadivah Redclaws was pleading with Nicoria to spare the life of her husband. Akshara was shocked to watch the scene. She wondered when and why her aunt Yadivah comes to the palace.
Akshara rushed to her uncle to help him as she could not tolerate watching him kneeling; suddenly a hand grabbed her from behind and covered her mouth from shouting in shock.
Akshara couldn’t figure out who grabbed her, but she could sense that the person wasn’t mean to hurt her but to help her from being spotted by Mrs Blackfire and got punished. The anonymous hand-pulled Akshara to the darkness and the person came close to her ears and spoke, “Shush...”
“Karen...” Akshara wondered.
“Shush. Axe, Keep your voice low. What if they found you….” requested Karen.
“Found me! Are you included in that and I am an intruder?” – Akshara asked with puzzled eyes and she continued, “Is this family gathering? Why Am I not acknowledged for this? You are in that gathering too. Why I am not allowed…”
“Axe, so many are happening beyond your knowledge. You must be ready to accept that. You must be aware of everyone around you… Axe, you should be very careful”, Karen wouldn’t want to answer her rather he said something which could confuse her even more.
“Stop Karen, Why are you, all of a sudden, sound concerned? You are scaring me. Did you watch any emotional movie last night?” - Akshara replied him in a soft tone.
Karen holds her arms with his hands and wanted her to listen to him, “Axe, listen to me. You must not believe all by their outward appearance, you must…”
“Karen, don’t change your topic, I found Uncle Bruz was kneeling and aunt Yadivah was pleading Nic. What is happening, Karen? What is the sin Uncle did, when aunt did arrive, who are those persons in the banquet table, why you are all awake expect me, Who are they, Are you going to answer me or not….”
Karen was annoyed by the rain of questions from Akshara, to stop her; he shushed her to stop. But, Akshara was too talkative and wanted to be answered, so Karen unconsciously made a sudden move to get closer, maybe to kiss her.
Shocked Akshara forced Karen to stay away and said, “Karen, Are you insane, what you are trying to do…?”
“I’m trying to stop you, Axe” Karen replied in a hasty and guilty tone.
“I don’t find the best way to stop me from questioning is to kiss me”, she slashed him with her reply.
“Axe, I don’t mean to do that. I was … Sorry,” when Karen was trying to explain Akshara gave a disappointed look to him.
Karen was hurt by her disappointed look and continued, “Listen Axe for god’s sake…”
Akshara kept her hands in one arm’s distance to stop him who was moving towards her, “What is it, Karen. I am listening…”
Karen understood her gesture and maintained the least distance and answered her, “They are all invited by your Godmother. Even my dad and I are called by her. My mom just arrived now. My dad is being punished for his fault. I cannot have a voice against this matter. Because it is decided by Queen…”
The eyebrows of Akshara were widened and her eyes were shocked and her mind was more puzzled and asked “Queen… What Queen? Are you addressing my godmother as Queen?”
“Yes, she is indeed OUR QUEEN”

On the banquet table,
Uncle Bruz kneeled before Mrs Blackfire and his wife Yadivah was on her knees to plead to spare her husband’s life.
“No Bruz. You shouldn’t allow it to happen” – Mrs Blackfire spoke.
Alabruz was spotted by his sin by the people in the banquet table one after the other.
Uncle Bruz opened his mouth without lifting his head, “I know! I wronged you all. But I can’t help. What should be happening has happened. How I can stop?”
One of the people with a black cloak with a hood told him, “But you could have tried to stop…”
One after the other, everyone pointed their Alabruz (Uncle Bruz) with their possible statements, Yadivah replied to everyone with her full effort.
Therefore, the verbal fight started and the noise polluted the living area which stimulated the attention of Mrs Blackfire. She gave a chiselling look towards all the members and silence was spread over the banquet table.

The mighty wings of red splashed through the top-notch trees on their way to the castle.It was almost dawn, when the eyelids of icy-blue iris were opened quickly, and realized his whole body was lifted by Ivan Shirk in his red dragon form, his soul-friend and general in his army.“Let me down, Ivan.

All the magical beings of witchcraft were aware of the ability of a White dragon-wizard and the effects and purpose of his Golden Blood. Unless his magical quality, he was a dual hand toxophilite (archery expert) and a sword fighter. Dev had already figured out why he was called by his mother. She always warned him not to have any fight unless necessary. But his curiosity provokes him to battle with all types of magical creatures, which is one of his favourite hobbies.Mirabella taught her son - how to use both physical strength and spiritual strength equally. She doesn’t find any difficulties in teaching him - the powers, usages of white magic, and tactics of the battlefield. Dev prefers to use his physical strength rather than choosing his spiritual strength of magic unless it is necessary to use his jinx against his rivals.Dev Swiftwings was very much bonded to his mother that she is the on

Akshara pushed Karen away from her who was blocking her way; she rushed into the banquet table to save her Uncle who was followed by Karen silently murmuring “Axe, Wait”.Akshara told him, “Move away, if you don’t want to be hurt, Karen. I will speak for my Uncle, whatsoever sin he committed.”Akshara immediately rushed to the banquet table without further delay and she was shocked to witness the scene that the banquet table was empty and she could smell the odour of dead candles which were kept in the middle of the banquet table.She found no trace of any meeting held there previously and she suddenly turned her head to the window to notice the weather. When she found out the weather also changed from a furious thunderstorm to a cold breeze and the sky was clear with twinkling stars and beamed with moon rays, her heart merely skipped a beat.Akshara turned
The tons of puzzles have engaged the mind of Akshara and she barely slept. The golden lights of afternoon sunlight pierced through the bedroom window of Akshara, straight into her face.Sun and Shine (Akshara’s pet birds) entered through the window and settled near her bed and chirped to wake her up. Akshara slowly opened her eyes and glimpsed the memory of last night. Soon she hopped out of her bed and cleaned herself, and decided to get all the answers from Karen.But before meeting him, she wants to share everything she encounters with her dear friend Azile. She located her friend in the kitchen, who was helping her mom with lunch.Akshara entered the kitchen and hide from the doorway and signalled Azile to come out, despite coming out shook her head negatively to Akshara.Akshara whispered in a soft tone, “psst… psst… Azu... psst… Azu”&
While the three young dragons were in search of a witch palace everywhere, Akshara in Ardna Chirig was filled with many surprises. She wanted to get hold of everything, which seemed to be puzzled to her human knowledge. She wanted to untie the knots of riddles around her. So, she searched Karen to get her questions to be answered, as he promised her to reveal.In the dusky evening, everyone was settled in their room, Yadivah pleaded to her husband in their room by holding his hands, “Bruz, you can’t do this.”Alabruz replied with exhaustion with face-palming with one hand, “I have to do this to safeguard the life of Akshara.”The name of Akshara mentioned by her husband triggered her inner rage, “You are going to risk your life for her. (She threw the tantrum by taking her hands from his hands) When will this come to an end? When are we going to live in peace? We too have
The haze of fear was spread every corner of the deep forest of Andhar Mountain. The inhalation becomes even harder for Akshara. As her lungs were running out of oxygen, she begins to fill in through her mouth. The terror sucked every breath from her mouth.She could feel that her heart begins to beat faster rapidly. Akshara’s skin started secretions of sweating to keep her body cool. She stood behind the tree with hands in her mouth to cover her breath sound not to be heard by the demonic beast behind the enormous tree.Even though he is not the man she knows an hour before, it’s a beast. Only Terrific Beast!Karen who now completely transformed into a werewolf could smell her fear, approached her to reveal his true self and called in a wolfish tone, “Axe…!”Akshara freaked out in panic and her brain was preparing instantly to two options FIGHT OR FLIGHT.
The rage of the storm begins to rise severely with a loud sound, collecting all the specks of dust. The rigorous sound of the storm killed her eardrums and the specks of dust were filled in her eyes. Akshara could feel that her hands were holding something tightly. Karen reached her to help, for which he was ignored by her.Akshara with a scared voice asked him, ”What do you want?”Karen replied in a wolfish tone, “I want to help you” for which the reply fromAkshara had thrown an immense blow at his mind, “If you want to help me, and then stop following me. Just stay away from me.”Karen replied in a sad tone, “Axe, stop yelling AWAY word at me. I wanted to help you.”Akshara quoted one of the sayings which she remembered suddenly, “Wolf worried of its prey being drenched in rain.”Karen stood silen
