61. Awaken of Monster Within

In the Forbidden Tower, the dark knight and his soldiers were heavily guarding, Jaravles Shirk asked his dragon soldiers, “All my dragon warriors... I ask you to be ready all the time”
All the dragon warriors were ready to protect the Forbidden object within the energy shield.
Igikran took some of his raven soldiers to the Forbidden Tower and started attacking the energy shield with their magic power. As it was nighttime, the raven wizards hide under the darkness and started to use jinx to break the energy shield.
Jaravles and other dragon warriors shot an arrow at the sky where the attack originated from. The raven wizards continued to hide and attacked the dragon warriors ferociously.
One after another, the dragon warriors fled to the sky to attack their enemies. Upon numerous attacks by raven wizards, the dragon warriors were defeated one by one.
While the raven wizards were attacking by distracting the soldiers of dragon warriors, Igikran was jinxed to break open the energy shield. The multiple layers of jinx made a little crack in the energy shield around the Forbidden Tower.
Igikran and his raven wizards evacuated the forbidden tower with a victory of cracking the energy shield.

Nora was found unknown for the rest of the two days and finally came to her chamber in the ice castle of Ayruzglow.
Indigo rushed, “My Lady... You have arrived? Where have you been for these days? You look pale, what happened to you? What happened at the masquerade party?”
Nora replied in a calm tone, “Indigo, Stop.”
Indigo complained, “My lady, I am worried about you... But, you are so...”
Nora interrupted her, “At least, there is someone to worry about me”
Indigo continued, “Why do you say that? Your brother is indeed worried about you. He even sent some soldiers to look for you”
Nora nodded, “Is it?”
Indigo scanned Nora for a while and told her, “My lady, you behave differently... What did something happen at the masquerade party?”
Nora asked her, “Why do you want to know about that...?”
Indigo replied, “If your mind is fine, I will say so...”
Nora asked, “I am fine... Tell me”
Indigo explained to her, “I was expecting you with our crown prince on that day... He returned with your brother and also he brought a savage girl with him... He made that girl live with him... Upon her appearance, I assumed that she could be the witch you told me earlier.”
Nora frowned and her eyes flared in anger, “What else had happened?”
Indigo continued, “They were romancing everywhere... Surely, that witch jinxed our crown prince. My lady, I request you to take necessary action to stop that witch nearing your prince”
Nora asked, “Did Dev ever ask about me...?”
Indigo replied, “My lady since the witch has arrived at our castle, the behaviour of our crown prince was changed. He had been tailing the witch day and night. I don’t think he remembers you”
Nora’s anger bubbled in her veins and her evil side knocked her mind. The evil Nora laughed from inside and gave a ferocious plan to destroy the good side of Nora.
Nora told to her with an evil sneer, He is mine. I won’t share him with anyone. I have won many battles; can’t I win over his heart?

In the castle of Ayruzglow,
Akshara got her faded memories with the help of Dev and couldn’t figure out the people around her in the past.
“I get the fainted memory of my childhood,” Akshara told Dev by wondering the ice castle, “From my childhood to till now, I had been admired for being to the top of the crystal mountain”
Dev asked her, “Where is that, Sara? I can take you there.”
Akshara replied, “We are in that crystal mountain”
Dev was puzzled and Akshara continued, “I am mentioning this kingdom of Ayruzglow”
Dev laughed at her, “Is this your crystal mountain?” Akshara had a puckered brow, so Dev said, “Well… I won’t laugh at you, is that ok?”
Akshara nodded and continued, “I just can’t believe my eyes that I am in this crystal mountain. But I wanted to see the green plants and colourful flowers, though I see the only blanket of ice everywhere.”
Dev wondered, “Sara! Do you want to grow a garden…?”
Akshara insisted to him, “I don’t know how I forget my past… but after seeing you, Devil, every night in my dreams I remember something. Last night I remembered the home that I had been growing up in a home which had a beautiful garden with a big tree.”
Dev felt guilty and wanted to reveal to her the truth behind her memory loss, but managed, “Do you want to recreate it… Here?”
Akshara widened her eyes and asked him, “Is that possible?”
Dev doesn’t want her too sad about knowing the truth and told to himself that he would reveal it when the right time knocks and replied to her demand, “What if I say… Yes!”
Akshara screamed, “Oh… that would be awesome”
Dev asked Akshara to close her eyes to recall her memory of her garden, “Sara, I want you to remember every inch of your garden…” and floated his hands to jinx the place from Akshara's mind to reality.
Dev covered her eyes with his hands and asked her, “Sara… Are you ready?”
Akshara nodded her head quickly, when Dev removed his hands from her eyes, she was mesmerized to look at the angelic beauty of the garden.
Akshara extended both hands wide to explore the garden, the little saplings touched the tip of her fingers and she felt the chillness by closing her eyes gently. She memorizes every inch of the garden in her mind and she found smiling Dev standing in front.
The amulet she wore glowed brightly to bring her inner love to display. She was overwhelmed in joy to thank her destiny to meet Dev and his love. the amulet’s brightness grew when she indulged in his love. in the eyes of Dev, Akshara wandered like a fairy with self-radiance in the middle of the god’s garden.
Dev understood that Akshara was thinking about him in her mind and he could witness her love for him. In a fraction of a second, Akshara rushed to Dev to wrap her arms around his neck and whispered in his ears in a husky tone, “Thank you…”
Dev was shocked to receive such gratefulness from her, for a second he thought that he was in the dream world but the warmness of Akshara made him realize that he was in reality.
Akshara came to her senses that she was embracing him, the fact made her nervous and she loosen her hold on him with a blush. Dev pulled her towards him and downed his head to smooch her.
“Sara…”, Dev journeyed his fingers circling on her spinal which gave her goosebumps. She tightened her grip on his back head and her heart nearly skipped a beat and he caged her in his arms calling, “Dev...il”
She wanted to avoid his torture with his hands and never wanted to avoid it. To stop from giving her fully to him, she pecked on his lips hardly. When Dev was about to administrate her lips, she pushed him away and ran into the garden shouting, “Thank you… Devil.”
Her sudden departure triggered his inner feelings and he followed her into the garden. Akshara knew that Dev would follow her after her mischievous activity with him. “Catch me, Devil.”
Dev jinxed to create a white cloud that lifted Akshara from her hiding place and dissolved in mid-air to drop her in the hands of Dev, “Found you, Sara.”
Akshara jumped from his arms to the ground and said, “You are a cheater. You couldn’t have found me without your powers of both dragon and wizard.”
Dev raised his eyebrows and replied with a smirk, “Sara, you want to know my mortal powers? (He whispered into her ears) let us start our life when the sun is down tonight.”
Akshara blushed heavily and raised her hand to give him a beat but before her hand landed on his shoulder, Dev caught her hand and twisted her to place her against the bark of the tree in the orchid.
Dev caged her with his hands and eyes. His icy blue eyes gazed at her avidly and halted over her lips. He touched his lips and asked, “What’s that for?”
Dev got his face closure to hers and waited for her positive gesture. Akshara neither stopped her blushing nor show her true feeling for him. she thought to herself, “It’s a warning sign, I never thought he would get me this close. If I mustn't act now, then I will respond to him. I can’t let that happen.”
Akshara inhaled and turned her face away from him to avoid his eye contact, and barely spoke, “For the orchid… Don’t overthink, Devil. (She looked at his eyes) I don’t give any positive response to you.”
Dev’s heart jumped in the joy of her understanding his mind and his palm gently stroked her hair at her back head. His stroking gave her goosebumps and she closed her eyes unwillingly.
Her half-closed eyes and parted lips certainly gave him a positive response, yet he wanted verbal confirmation. He asked her while she was indulging in his stroking, “Can you guess… What‘s in my mind?”
Akshara thought, “Why talk, do your devilish act. Every inch of skin is craving for you, your touch. Just do it, and end my suffering.”
Dev was awestruck after reading her mind and he lowered his head towards her lips to end her suffering. Akshara talked back, “I can’t read your mind. (Akshara heaved her chest to fill her outbreathe lungs) Can you do that?”
