Everyone could hear the soldiers excruciating cries as their bodies plummet towards the rocky ground below. The sound of death as well as pleas for help went on deaf's ears as Kali had instructed that they had no time to worry about the injured. The loud roar had shook the land so hard that even the trees could not hold on. Uprooted trees and branches now covered the ground as well as many leaves and vines.

"What was that?!"

Samarjeet along with Veer and Ajay had no doubt that was a roar of a beast. Remembering just how powerful the Tiger was made them shutter to think there might be something else out there lurking behind the shadows. And what was worse is that they were all injured and the sky was now dark.

"Was that the White Tiger?"

Shaking his head "no" Kali's eyes widen as he sees Sahil at the bottom of the cliff.

Veer: Impossible. The Crown Prince is right there riding the White Tiger.

Ajay: Then what was that?! Is there another beast here we don't know about?!

Veer: Your Highness?

Gritting his teeth as he remembers what he had burnt long ago made his brow furrow. The thought of such a powerful beast still among them made Kali seethe in anger that he could not see it. He had already lost the White Tiger to his son and the chance of finding the Beast was close to none and there was no way in hell he would reveal it to anybody tonight.

"I only know of the White Tiger."

Samarjeet who was anxious to find Gauri didn't want anymore distractions to delay the search.

"It doesn't matter. We need to find them soon. The sun is rising and the Mordis army will be here."

As the men waited for more soldiers to make it down the cliff Svetlana had walked away to whistle out to her men.

"What is going on?! Where are they?!"

Pacing back and forth in the dark while everyone else was busy looking for The King of Mordis Svetlana could not fathom that the leader of her Secret Guards had been killed. She was hoping that they could help her locate Gauri before everyone else and maybe even try to kill Sahil during this mayhem.

"There is just no way they have all died! Especially Shatki!"

Digging her fingernails into her palms Svetlana decided to walk back to her carriage and wait to see what will come in the morning.

Meanwhile Sahil was already below the cliff in search of his sister. Even though he too heard the loud roar and Kiba had told him about the Black Lion and the Fountain of Healing Sahil just didn't care.

"I just want to find my sister Kiba. No need to try and convince me to find the Fountain of Healing. I don't care if it disappears later. I just want my sister. Without her I don't care about the poison in my body Kiba...do you understand? Come let us walk around more. I refuse to believe she is gone!"

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

Bhavya who had frantically hurry back to Khanna's place opened the door to see him still lying in bed.

"Khanna! The Princess!! Wake up! Damit!"

With tears running down her cheeks and her hands trying to shake Khanna awake Bhavya felt that everything was against her. The drugs that Gauri had given her to give Khanna was just too strong and he was still out cold. Trying to control herself Bhavya stepped back to calm herself.

"I can't lose it! What to do..what to do...."

Taking a deep breath Bhavya remembered Gauri had once told her.

"If one day I am not here you as my student will have to watch over the Crown Prince Bhavya."

Biting her lower lip Bhavya decides to run back to Gauri's courtyard to find the herb that The King of Mordis had brought along with him.

"I promise Princess! I will go make the tea and bring it to the Crown Prince. I will make you proud! So please make sure to come back and see what I've done."

As she runs and wipes her tears Bhavya was sure that her Princess was alive and that she must do what is most important...and that is to ensure the life of her master's beloved brother.

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

Rudra who could already see Ashen's border looked over to his right to signal one of his men to take out the Mordis Army Horn.

"Blow it."

With all his might the soldier blew on the horn sending everyone's hearts ablaze.

Dandi: They are here.

Ranveer: Our Mordis Army Horn. Now Ashen will know that we have arrived.

If the horn was not enough to send chills to everyone one in Ashen the loud metal steps pounding on the ground should shake them to the core. As the sun's rays peaked through the horizon Dandi and Ranveer could see a storm of dust coming their way. With thousands and thousands of horses galloping and troops running on foot it was if a sand storm was coming.

When Rudra and his men finally arrived at the border Dandi and Ranveer was not the only ones waiting for them. Ashen's army was also standing guard.

Dandi and Ranveer quickly rode their horses out to welcome Rudra.

Dandi/Ranveer: General.

Rudra: Tell me.

When they were about to report everything to Rudra they could see Tej and Daksh heading towards them.

Tej: Yes..do tell us where our King's body is.

Daksh who only wanted to find the physician that was curing Omkara was tired of the poison's torture every week. The pain was unbearable and the thought of having to endure it again in a few more days made him want to see Omkara's dead body even more.

Dandi who looked sharply at Tej with murderous eyes.

"My Lord have mistaken. I used the Mordis Death Flare to have the General come and help locate the King. He is not dead."

Tej smirked at the loyal bodyguard who was obviously lying.

"Then do tell us all what happened."

With her hair still hiding her scar Priyanka told her maid to escort her where Rudra was and when she heard Tej imply that her brother was dead her blood boiled with rage.

"Who dare to stop entering Ashen?!"

When they saw her slowly approach everyone got down from their horses to kneel.

"Princess."

"Dandi! Ranveer!"

"Yes Princess!"

"You can report everything to all of us on the way. No need to stop. We need to find our King."

"Yes Princess!"

But when they were about to cross the border Ashen's soldiers drew their swords to block the way.

Ashen's Soldier: Halt! You may not enter so easily!

Rudra who had a sword pointed at him laughed loudly sending chills to everyone around.

"You and what army is going to stop me? It seems only half of the Ashen army is here. Move before I lose my patience!"

"Are you declaring war?! If so we will die protecting our land!"

Priyanka: General! Clear my path!

Rudra who did not want to shed blood just yet gave Ashen one more chance.

"We are here for Our King. You best to move. I will leave half of my men here and only let half enter. This should be enough to show you that we are here to find our King. Now move........."

The soldier knew that it would be suicide if they engage in battle now and the only hope Ashen had was for them to find their King alive.

"Fine. Leave more than half your men here!"

Smirking at the idiotic soldier Rudra nodded his head.

"Fine."

Before entering Rudra whispers to the soldier he left in charge.

"When you hear our horn blow twice..you know what to do."

Bowing his head to his General "Yes General! No one lives!"

"Good. I leave you to watch them. Killl them if you see them do anything suspicious."

"Yes General!"

As they marched towards Ashen's Forest while blowing their horn Kali and everyone around him looked up towards sky.

"They are here."

Seeing the pebbles under their feet bounce up and down showed just how powerful Mordis was. With troops heading their way Kali commanded his men to stop searching and to head towards the forest gate.

"We need to convince them that their King may be alive because we have yet to find his body!"

Samarjeet who did not want to stop had no choice but to follow leaving Sahil to ponder what he should do.

Sahil: I can't leave Ashen to be obliterated! Gauri would not want that! Come Kiba! We will also greet Mordis at the gates!

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

Gauri who could hardly sleep during the night woke up when she heard the Horn.

"What is that?"

Omkara who was letting her rest on his lap continue to play with her long silky hair.

"Mordis Army Horn."

Turning her gaze towards the land above Gauri did not want to wait till night time for Ari to fly them out.

"What happens if we leave now?"

Seeing his eyes grow cold as he looks over at Ari Gauri asked again.

"What if we leave now?"

"Ari will release the barrier and let the water in. And once the cave is filled with water the pressure alone will destroy it."

"Then what is the problem?"

"Ari will have to fly us out through water."

"And?"

Pinching her chin to look into her scared golden eyes. "There is a chance you could drown because remember Princess..you do not know how to swim. Ari wanted to use the high tide to use it's force to blow us out quickly but to let water in this way we loose that strong pressure."

"I want to risk it."

Grinning at his determined future Queen Omkara chuckled as he caressed the side of her face.

"And what do I get?"

"What is there for you to want?"

After letting those words slip her heart began to pound as she sees his gaze soften and lips softly grazing against hers.

And with his husky voice and his strong arms around her "Why ask the obvious...Princess."

"I...Omkara..."

"Don't make such a face."

Seeing him smirk at her made her feel defeated.

"Stop teasing. I want to risk it and go now."

Slowly moving from her lips to her ear which was already pinkish at the tip.

"Risk it? I will not allow such a thing. If my Queen wants to leave then I shall make it happen."

And for the very first time Gauri felt special having him call her his Queen but at the same time she knew not to try to fly too high on this feeling. With her eyes betraying her every attempt to hid her true self from him Omkara held her tighter.

"You can hold back all you want...but know...sooner or later that tight grip you have will be loosen by me."

But with the Mordis Horn echoing through the forest and into the cave Gauri quickly pulled away from Omkara's strong hold.

"I am ready."

Omkara: Ari.
