2021-07-19 17:09:19Amanya walked out so fast that she reached the fort within minutes. Jatin and Dhruv literally had to run to catch up with her. She was waiting for them at the imperial garden. Whenever she felt stressed it was her habit to visit a garden to cool down.
"Amanya are you fine? don't stress out yourself"
"Yes Amanya. Even if they really have ill intentions, don't you have faith in serpents and hawks? "
"Hmmm." Amanya smiled but her face changed red instantly.
"Now since they forced us then I can only reassure my reputation as the cold blooded Serpent Queen " A demonic smirk flashed behind her smile.
"Ok jokes apart, now let's get down to business. Dhruv ask the cobras to report everything once in a week and immediately if they smell anything unusual. Focus more on Amai. Especially keep a watch in their court and generals. I believe if they plan against Hiranga then it would be a big plan."
"Will be done commander."
"Jatin, ask pythons to help hawks in security as there will be a shortage of people in the coming days. Also keep a close watch in the north west of Hiranga. Whoever lingers there, should be arrested immediately for clarification. I will ask Jiva to issue a notice regarding this."
"Ahh, Our sleepless nights are coming" Dhruv cried.
"Don't jinx it Dhruv" Jiva said with a smile.
"Jiva, don't try to bring a forced smile. Your eyes have betrayed you" Dhruv replied.
They rested for a while and went back to their base camp. The squad was informed about the Commander's decision and was asked to inform all the snakes. Jiva was there waiting for his sister because he knew it was really a gamble to let them near Hiranga. He needed to talk with her for a fault proof plan and deep down he knew she was not happy with his decision.
"Amanaya, my dear sister, I was waiting for you."
" I can see that". Her face blackened.
Jiva and Dhruv murmured to each other "Seems like the situation is going to be fierce."
"Jiva, Amanya we are taking our leave" and they dashed from the situation."
"Amanya are you still maddened with your brother?
I am sorry
It's my fault to oppose you but in that situation, I thought now since it is peaceful in Mekong we should be a little more flexible than in the past. Even if all the other countries unite with each other to go against us we still have an upper hand but won't we also suffer. Think about it dear. Please"
Her face gradiently changed from black to pink. She started laughing.
"Oh, my innocent brother, I was just teasing you. Why take it seriously? Mr. crowned prince, You should know I am a commander, a general who only knows to kill and to be wary of everything around me. I was taught to be prepared for the worst but you are the crowned prince, the future king of Hiranga. you should know …"
"To kill with one hand and to care with the other." he completed her words.
"You stinky brat, you still have the nerve to tease me ah, even in this situation."
She smiled at him innocently, more like retardedly.
"Amanya, we should plan further. "
"Hmm Jiva, I was going to that topic. Let's have a meeting tonight to discuss further steps. Inform your commander. You can decide the venue."
"Ok then. Let's meet here and ride to the North-west of Hiranga where this is going to end.
"Looks like a storm is nearing. I am thrilled".
The sky was ablaze with the setting sun. They set their horses to travel to the north west of Hiranga. Since the place mentioned was in the borders of Hiranga they had to travel about 3 hours from their camp. The sky had changed from raging fire to an ocean of stars. That place called the old Lexicon was a barren land. Hawks had already set their tents there. As she expected, Jiva arrived earlier.
"Commander of Hawks respect Commander general of Serpents"
"Forget the formalities Aram. Let's get down to the business"
"We have informed our decision to the committee of Decade conference." Jiva started the conversation. he continued
"Now we have two major goals, one is tight security both for our people and the guests. If someone among them is harmed then we will be in a tough spot and this place the Old Lexicon. This is a matter of Hiranga's dignity. We have to change this place's overall appearance."
"You mean hell to heaven?" Dhruv sighed.
"Yes exactly and that too in one month."
Amanya was pondering on their suggestions. A cool breeze touched her body and kissed her cheeks, tickling her. It came from somewhere suddenly with a mesmerizing scent. She heard a sweet but unclear voice. The voice became more and more clear and carried a sweet jasmine fragrance accompanied by the night shadows. Her eyes closed slowly and she started to bask in it. That voice gave her a sense of belonging. It started from a sweet melody to a sorrowful melancholy. She could feel hot tears dripping on her cold cheeks..
"Amanya
Amanya .."
"Ah " She suddenly woke up, opening her eyes to see three of them staring at her.
"Hey are you ok. Why are you crying?
were you really sleeping?"
"No Jiva. I was listening to that music. It was a bit emotional. I never thought hawks will arrange this."
"what?? You even dreamed while dozing; I am impressed commander."
"Dhruv I was focusing on your talks also"
"Really, then tell me where were we"
"You were talking about old Lexicon"
"Ahh.. That was half an hour ago" She suddenly felt it was weird.
"Wait.. so you are saying that there was no music played behind; impossible"
"Commander, how can that be possible. We only started our preparation today evening."
"No Aram. That jasmine scent.."
"Amanya, this is a barren land. How can there even be a jasmine plant." She was confused because it was the first time she was totally clueless.
"Ah.. whatever.
Let me conclude our stand as serpents. We will help in security of our people and guest ; and won't be part of this conference from start to end"
"Let's stop for today. I just remembered I have an important meeting with my father. Aram come with me." Jiva was behaving oddly. His face became pale suddenly. He left in a hurry.
"Aye.. what just happened now. He didn't even say anything about our decision regarding participation.
Something fishy." Dhruv said.
A breeze flowed through them.
"Amanya .."
"What now?"
"There is a strong scent coming from you. " Jatin looked at her.
"Ah?"
"Wait, let me check." Dhruv went to her and smelled her scarf .
"It's jasmine."
"What.."

"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
