Wake up!! The man was standing in front of her in a black cloak. He looked like a cobra but he wasn't. His demeanor was like that of a commander. His face wasn't clear and from her current situation, it wasn't sure whether he was a friend or foe. From yesterday's event, she was sure that she was betrayed by a cobra. But all these facts were not restraining her. The unknown man gave her unexplainable confidence and trust. She slowly put her hands through the iron bars trying to reach his face. Seeing her actions, he moved a step back and removed the cloak. In the bizarre light, she saw his face; "Jiva... Brother, why are you here... Jiva..." He remained silent until she stopped her words. He took a step front and raised his hand. Time stopped at that instant. She couldn't believe her eyes. The flame of the lantern in front of her stood still. She was taken aback in shock. He moved towards her and passed through the rails as if he had no body but just a soul. Amanya lay on the grou

The palace of water is all set to celebrate its lady's birthday. Unlike her other birthdays, this was special. Ranging from the small immortal fairies to the supreme lord of heaven were invited to witness her day. Gods of different Supremes flew to celebrate with her. She walked down the aisle in a flowing white dress with lilies embraided and diamond bordered to greet the guest. Accompanied by loud trumpets and flowers, the supreme god of heaven walked in with her father; the god of water. They were seated at the head and thus started the celebration. After the feast, the supreme god rose on his chair and clapped his hands. The current queen of heaven walked in with a group of 24 heaven maids following her to the feast. She was in a golden robe with her powerful wand, her official attire. Her emergence was unpredicted. She hadn't shown up in the public for almost a decade.Alun, God of water rose from his seat and preceded towards Krithika. He picked up her cold hands and walked towa

She stood still. Demons won't dare to point a mere human sword at her. The sword was still and its owner was a determined hand. She remained calm and slowly turned. The man wore a royal dress and was in armor. He snatched the pendant from her hand and examined it carefully; "Take her to the Serpent bureau." He walked back and his subordinates handcuffed her. "Heyy!! What are you doing... Leave me... Who are you? Why are you.." They dragged her. Instead of being angry she was more curious about the new situations around her and decided to play it by ear. They lead her to a big office building with a large board 'Serpent Bureau'. It was crowded with soldiers similar to his dress. He sat on his chair on an elevated platform while she was presented on the ground. He caressed his double sword and pointed at her.His subordinate questioned her, "Tell us, where is the list?" "List?? What list??" "Don't play the fool. If not why do you have the pendant?" "Sir... Believe me. I am a lone

Standing at the threshold of the bureau, she gripped the pendant in her hand tightly and looked up at the sky. A wild smile flashed on her face, to be specific a sinister one."Then should I consider it a yes?"She walked out as an answer to his question."Lord, did she just reject you?""It's her choice." The disappointment on his face was vivid."Lord.." The guard at the gate rushed in and kneeled before him."The lady asked us to give it back." He presented the pendant.Vakul grabbed the pendant from his hand. His face lightened up instantly."I will be looking forward to working with you.""Lord, what do you mean by that? Didn't she just reject your offer by returning the pendant? "Vakul turned towards Nilan and patted his head; "She asked me to keep this pendant for her."The water palace was in silence despite its effusive celebration a while ago. All the guests were sent back. Guards were stationed around the palace to report her arrival. Aras was waiting in the front yard. He

The crowd was dispersed but the bureau was filled with their whispers. He took her to the office with a composed attitude, a glib sham he tried to keep before her."You were..""Did you just remember my lord??" The words from Nilan were pugnacious and proof of his disapproval."No... Where were you for one year?" asked Vakul calming the tense situation Nilan was slowly stirring."I went back to seek permission from my martial sect. It took a year.""Where is this sect that took this long to give permission and mysterious that even the serpents failed to locate you."She slowly walked towards Nilan, her calmness was the confirmation of her claim. "I understand; one year has disappointed you and your master. You can ask me the questions you have.""We know nothing about you; not even your name," Vakul replied.She started with a smile, "Krithika. I practice martial arts in the water sect.""Water sect??""We live in seclusion in the faraway mountains and practice to attain spirituality.
