Chapter 31




Sahil didn't care that the entire sky was red as blood because all he could see was the man in black trying to run away after piercing his arrow into his beloved sister. Grabbing Kiba's soft white fur Sahil evilly smirked when he saw it's eyes reflecting red due to the Mordis Flare.

"Today Kiba you are my demon pet! We must kill him!"

Kiba roared as it senses the murderous aura surrounding it's new master and with such a strong bond the two now shared it didn't take long for Sahil to catch up to Shatki. Sahil could see the man's eyes widen as his White Tiger claws the side of his horse.

**SWISH**

Blood stained his pet's white fur as he sits and stares at the man jumping down from his dead horse. Sahil was now filled with so much rage that he took out 2 arrows and shot it simultaneously at Shatki who easily dodged it. But what Shatki could not foresee was the speed of Sahil's White Tiger. In just a split second after dodging the arrows the young Crown Prince was now just inches away from him and when he felt a pain in the back of his shoulder Shatki tried to run the other way.

**SWISH**

"ARGGGGGGgg"

An arrow pierced threw his right knee forcing Shatki to stumble onto the ground but he knew that he had to get up and run.But every time he thought he had lost them the White Tiger would appear out of nowhere and all he could see was the sinister smile of the young prince of Ashen toying with his life.

"You think death is what I will give you! No! You must suffer!!"

As Sahil laughed while backing away from Shatki to let the assassin continue to run the entire forest remained still unlike before. It was as if it knew that the White Tiger has found it's master and that it no longer needed to protect it. The vines never moved an itch while it watched the assassin run through the forest with trails of blood left behind.

**SWISH SWISH**

"ARGGGGG"

With two arrows sticking out from both his knees Shatki could no longer run and when he looked up he could only see the boy bend down from his White Tiger.

"Tell me who sent you!"

But when Sahil saw Shatki reach for his dagger that was hidden in his boot he quickly called out to Kiba.

Shatki could only see the flash of shiny sharp claws penetrating from the top of his shoulder and slicing him all the way down to his thigh.

"AHHHHH!!!!"

When Sahil saw that the man was no longer able to fight him he jumped down from Kiba's back and squated down to pull on Shatki's mask.

"So...you rather die than to betray your master?"

Seeing the man spit up blood while nodding his head Sahil slowly stood back up.

"Very well."

Taking his royal sword from his waistband Sahil plunged it into Shatki's heart.

"I don't need you to tell me because I will find out and kill them all!"

As his eyes rolled back behind his head Shatki's last thoughts was the frightening smile of the Crown Prince of Ashen. "He will surely grow up to rule mercilessly."

Stroking Kiba's soft fur while it purred Sahil thanked his new pet.

"Kiba if not for your strength and speed I would have never been able to do such a thing. With you by my side I will promise you I will become stronger! Come! Let's go find my sister!"

When Sahil saw Gauri fall off the cliff his mind was filled with shock and anger but now that he had time to digest everything he was sure that his clever sister had to be alive. Hopping onto Kiba's back once again Sahil decided to return to the cliff since the sun was quickly setting and soon darkness will befall the entire forest.

***************************************

As the red sky turned black Kali, Veer, and Ajay grew impatient when suddenly they heard the Ashen's army horn. From afar they could see thousands of lights heading their way.

Ajay happily tried to life up his upper body to see "It's them! They are finally here!"

When Kali saw his army carrying torches in their hands his eyes sharpened and once he spotted the Queen's carriage being escorted by his General Kali called out to her.

"My Queen has finally come. Why did it take so long?"

She could hear the anger in his tone as she stepped out of her carriage with the help of her maid.

"My King I came as fast as I could. To assembly the entire Ashen Army is not an easy task. Physicans! Come tend to Your King and the Princes of Uthon immediately!"

As she quickly strided over to Kali's side Svetlana did her best to look concerned.

"How could she do this?! Where is Princess Gauri!"

As he let the useless Palace Physician try to treat Gauri's poison that was running through his veins Kali could only grit his teeth as he remembers Sahil taming the White Tiger.

Physician:Your Highness...I don't know what type of poison you are suffering from but I can prescribe medicine to slow it down.

"Useless!!"

Even though he wanted to kill all of his untalented Palace Physicians Kali had already knew that the poison that his daughter makes would never be easily cured by another.

"Queen! Send the troops down the cliff to find her! NOW!"

"But My King it's so dark right now...."

"Do you want me to die?! I don't care if it takes all night! GO! If we don't find them soon Mordis will invade! Do you hear me?! They will be at our borders by tomorrow!"

Svetlana could see Kali getting very angry and she had to admit it scared her. Instructing her maid to get all the Generals to come received the King's Decree.

When Kali saw his 5 Generals kneel down before him he quickly commanded them to by all means find the King of Mordis as well as Princess Gauri. All the soldiers started to grab ropes and hooks to help them down the cliff while another would hold the torch to light the way.

Kali, Veer, and Ajay could feel the medicine helping a little because they were able to move about. They could see Samarjeet look down the cliff as the Ashen soldier's were now covering it's walls. As the three men joined him Samarjeet looked over at Kali who was unable to stand without the aid of a servant.

"Why did Your Highness try to hide it?"

Kali looked at Samarjeet in confusion "What is the Prince implying?"

"We all saw Your Highness...Princess Gauri's true face."

Even Veer and Ajay wanted to know why Kali had hid such a beautiful daughter from their eyes.

Samarjeet: Did you intend to let the King of Mordis marry your most beautiful daughter?

Kali's laugh echoed throughout the forest as the Princes stared at him.

"Do you think if I knew I would have hidden her beauty? This daughter of mine has proven to be very clever. Even I was led to believe she had scared her face due to a fire within the palace but trust me when I say that the King of Mordis will not marry her!"

Samarjeet was thrilled to hear that Kali had no intentions of marrying Gauri off and when he was about to suggest to let him have her hand Riddhima came running out of her carriage.

"Mother! Father! I can't find Gauri's maid anywhere!"

Riddhima who was now wearing a veil to cover up the fresh wound on her cheek frantically ran to her mother's embrace.

"Mother it hurts and the useless Palace Physicians all said they didn't have any medicine to prevent my face from being scarred!"

Patting her daughter's back Svetlana tried to convince Riddhima to go back into the carriage to rest with Ishana who was still feeling numb between the legs.

"Do not worry dear. When we find Gauri I will make her treat your face! Go and rest. It is already late in the night."

But when Riddhima turned away from the cliff she suddenly screamed forcing everyone to turn around.

Sitting on his White Tiger Sahil sat upright while gazing at his so-called father.

"You scared me Sahil!"

As he looked down at his step sister who had always tortured him Sahil grinned.

"Scare you? I did not scare you but Kiba did..but do not worry...Kiba is not yet hungry...and he doesn't think you'd be tasty."

Everyone was silent as the White Tiger slowly trotted towards the cliff so that Sahil could see the Ashen Army hard at work.

"Have they found my sister yet?"

Kali who was clearly coveting Sahil's strong White Tiger was now using a different approach in order to form a better relationship with his son.

"Not yet..but do not worry son...we will! Father promises you!"

Petting Kiba's head Sahil didn't bother to listen to his father's false words because he knew that the poison everyone was suffering from was the driving force to finding his sister. So before he left them to scour other parts of the cliff Sahil left them while chuckling sinisterly.

"If my sister dies at least others will join her."

**************************************

Gauri had tried looking for a way out of the cave for hours now. But every time she and Omkara followed a pathway it would lead them right back to the pond. Omkara who was feeling his old poison acting up again tried to hide his pain to help Gauri but she knew very well that he needed to soak in the pond one more time. At first she didn't bother about his condition because she was too worried about Sahil and figured if they could get out she could always bring him back here but it seems things were not in her favor.

"Your Majesty....."

Seeing her sad made him sigh as he walked over to rub her cheek.

"Do not worry. We will find a way out."

Grabbing his hand to stop him from walking Gauri looks at him. She could clearly see he was tired from enduring the pain.

"It's useless right now. Your Majesty should soak in the pond one more time. After that your poison would be cured."

"Are you giving up?"

Smiling at the man who should stop caring for her Gauri let out a small chuckle.

"If the Fountain of Healing does not want us to go then we cannot. Maybe it senses the poison in you. You should soak and maybe it will release us from it's power."

Omkara felt that her reason was very plausible so he quickly undressed to soak into the water but when he saw Gauri turn around to sit on the other side he quickly grabbed her arm to twirl her back around.

"Are you not joining me?"

Letting out a laugh Gauri gently pushed him away.

"I don't have any poison in me why would I need to soak?"

Pulling her back into his embrace Omkara whispers suggestively.

"To spend quality time together of course."

But as she stood on her toes for her lips to reach his ears her warm breath sent shivers down his spine.

"I am quite tired from walking for hours I don't think I can widthstand your stamina Your Majesty. I will just lay over there to rest while you soak."

When he saw her lean against a large rock at the edge of the pond Omkara slowly submerged his body into the water. He could feel the pain leave his body immediately and the thought of not having to suffer from it ever again made him think of Tej and Daksh.

"Wait till you get wind of my health Lord Tej..the look on our face will definitely be priceless!"

30 minutes in Omkara could tell that Gauri had fallen asleep against the large rock. He knew she must have been really tired by her breathing pattern. He could see her eyes were moving indicating she must be dreaming and you only dream when you fall in a deep sleep. Slowly trying to make his way closer to her Omkara was once again mesmerized by her beauty. Her smooth neck was teasing him as the loose strands of her hair danced along her neck. Her lips were red and plump as it seductively calls out his name.

"Om..kara..."

"She's dreaming of me?"

But as he got closer he saw a pair of beastly yellow eyes appear behind her.

"Gauri....."
