Prahsatha was pinned against the wall, gasping while Rudra held him by his throat. He had just lunged at him as soon as he heard Prahastha's confession.
"I
"No," she whispered, though it was more of a yes."Yes," he stepped in close, pinning her against the wall.
Toshani brought her arms up, determined to overpower Rudra's sleeping form. Just as she was about to take a swing at him.Her throat was wrapped by his hand and squeezed. Instinctively, her hands clawed at his iron-clad grip, her eyes watering as she gasped for air.
Toshani woke up, it took her a few seconds to remember where she was and the events of the previous day.She had been brought into what she guessed a castle, then locked up in a luxurious chamber. She was blindfolded until she reached this room which she considered rather necessary; she was not planning to run away, nevertheless. She sighed as the memories of the earlier night came crashing back to her. Worse yet, she realized that there was an arm wrapped around her waist. Her heart pounding, she searched her memory for an explanation.
Shrushaw was sitting in front of a statue, the statue was of a man sitting in a meditative pose. His eyes were closed, a calm serene expression etched on its face."I have failed father, I was unable to save the princess," she sighed, her face etched in a frown.
Toshani folded her arms and leaned against the wall," explain". Rudra ran his hand through his hair and sighed.
"A human child who will be the reflection of the mother Goddess Aditi will have the ability to remove the seal of Indra and then cast the Asuras into the other world, releasing the unbound energy. The human child of Kashyap will be able to unlock her abilities. Once unlocked, only a great sacrifice will lock the seal."
Toshani was being led by her hated enemy to another hated enemy, and she had plans to kill them all. It was ironical.Toshani peered out from the chariot as it entered the massive courtyard. Towering turrets of black arose from the mass of stones which was the castle.
Toshani opened her eyes as the pain ripped through her body. It was dim and cool where she was and smelled a bit moldy as if she were underground. Her eyes strained to adjust to the insufficient light. Her head was throbbing, and she could feel the aftermath of the hangover. She tried desperately to remember something, anything. The last thing she could remember was having dinner with her family's murderers. Rudra refraining her from attacking the king...then just darkness.
