He dipped his head, brushing his lips along the curve of her chest, his kisses scattered like whispers. The warmth of his mouth against her skin clouded her thoughts, and she hated that she let herself feel anything at all. Still, her body betrayed her—the tension in her limbs loosening, her mind beginning to blur beneath the weight of his touch.

Between kisses, his voice came, low and threaded with something heavier.

“I must leave soon,” he murmured, his lips trailing slowly across her skin. “War stirs on the horizon.”

He lingered just beneath her collarbone, as though he could press the truth into her bones with his mouth alone.

“The river Eldrida… it’s no longer just water—it’s blood waiting to be spilled. Tziyonia and Everia now stand at the edge of war.”

A soft cry escaped her as his mouth continued its devotion. Her fingers twisted into the silk sheets beneath her, the tension tightening through her thighs.

“I—I know,” she managed, voice trembling, eyes shut tight as her breath

  • The Rule   VII Love Spell

    When Aabroo returned, she was met by an angry Inayat, who scolded her for being so careless. Inayat had been worried about her the entire time. Aabroo’s habit of climbing mountains and touching peaks always unsettled her, because Aabroo was someone who would do anything for others — no matter the cost. And sometimes, that kind of kindness could come at a steep price.But Aabroo had her ways of making it up to Inayat. With her soft words and starry eyes, she always managed to win forgiveness.Afterwards, she and Aniruddha enjoyed the wild raspberries together. Meanwhile, Akshara had her share at home with her father, and she made sure to pass them around to everyone.That same night, it happened.Aabroo lay in her bed, not in deep sleep — just like her brother. The soft breeze of the night swayed the net curtains of her room. She rested on her plush bed, her gentle snores filling the air. Then, a sound shattered the silence.Footsteps.Though they were cautious, they still caught Aabro

  • The Rule   VI The Beginning Of Them; Smitten

    Ten years had passed. Much had changed — Aabroo most of all.She was no longer the timid, shy girl of the past. She had become a wild, learned, and fierce woman. She was fire walking across stone, a phoenix soaring in the sky — untameable, her wings wide, setting the air ablaze.She had grown into a woman. A beautiful one. She had inherited her brother’s spirit — the refusal to give up — as she stared at her goal and smiled wide.“Finally…” she whispered, standing tall.“Aabroo!” a voice called from behind, loud and pleading.She turned, pressing her staff to the ground as she faced the rising figure. She smiled, watching the younger girl struggling to climb the mountain, taking heavy steps, leaning on her own staff for support.Aabroo waited patiently, settling herself on a rock, her eyes fixed on the girl.The girl climbed with effort, drawing long, deep breaths, as if trying to drink in the air itself.“It was... it was hard,” the girl said at last, dropping beside the rock and lea

  • The Rule   V The Heir Has Arrived

    After the baby was washed and gently cleaned, the midwives wrapped him in linen straps and brought him to Inayat. Her arms reached out eagerly to receive him. For a moment, she simply stared — gazing at the child in silent wonder. He was pink, fair, and delicate — beautiful in a way that made her breath catch. She looked at him as if seeing a miracle, awestruck by how God had blended her and Samarth’s features so perfectly into this tiny creation. In his face, she saw divine artistry — and the undeniable mark of Samarth. The realization that this was their son brought fresh tears to her eyes. She drew the baby close. Her motherly warmth soothed him instantly, as though this comfort was the one thing he had been longing for all along. Once she had held him, the midwives allowed Aabroo and Akshara into the room. Aabroo stepped forward first, her smile soft and full of awe. She leaned down, touched the baby's cheek, and whispered, “He’s so cute.” Akshara giggled quietly b

  • The Rule   IV Smiles Amidst Chaos

    A few more days had passed since Samarth’s burial. Inayat had not spoken much since then. She could not bring herself to. The only words that echoed in her mind were the ones Aabroo had said to console her — “He’s gone to be with the Lord.” Those words gave her a fleeting peace, but now, silence had become her constant companion. She smiled at times, but used her voice only to read scripture or answer the occasional question from those around her. Beyond that, there was no idle talk, no laughter, no unnecessary chatter. It was as if she were sinking quietly into the comfort her environment could offer. During that time, Akshara, Raj’s daughter, had arrived safely. Raj was relieved to see her unharmed — not a single scratch on her. Her arrival brought joy to the household, especially for Aabroo, who now had a companion of her age to dance with, sing with, play with, and learn skills beside. Among the children of the village, the two girls were forging new and beautiful bonds. Both w

  • The Rule   III The Burial

    Inayat gently dismissed the women gathered around her and walked toward Aabroo. Her boots pressed softly against the smooth pebbles that filled the path, each step slow and deliberate as she approached the girl seated alone by the riverbank.The water whispered quietly in the stillness of the night, its surface glowing under the canopy of stars. Yet Aabroo seemed lost in a different world — until Inayat spoke her name.“Aabroo...”The girl turned at the sound, a small smile blooming on her lips without hesitation. She remained seated on the rock, looking over her shoulder.“Inayat, you should be in bed,” she said gently. “It’s late. You need your rest.”Inayat paused for a moment, struck by the calm wisdom in the child’s voice. Aabroo had changed — there was something older now in her gaze, something that pain had etched into her.“And so should you,” Inayat replied, her voice carrying across the hush of the river. “You think I shouldn’t be out, but don’t you think the same goes for y

  • The Rule   II Elan’s Hollow

    They found shelter in the centre of the village, where life was bustling. The village was neatly laid, just as only fairytales could show.At the heart of it stood the House of the Lord, where they gathered every morning and every evening to stand in the presence of God. The village was spiritual, no doubt — the scent of that spirituality lingered softly through the people who could understand it.Around the House were the dwellings and the narrow streets, and beyond them, mountains and forests — rich in herbs, woods, and many other blessings. Rivers emerged from the mountains, encircling the village, giving life to the trees planted beside their flowing banks.The leader of the village welcomed the exhausted group warmly, even though their clothes were torn and bloodied, their appearances marked by battle. The men looked dangerous, with cuts and scars drawn across their faces, especially with the armour they wore and the swords they carried. Yet no fear was shown. Only stillness. Onl
