Part 17
The Preparations Begin
"That Mansion..., Ghosty said. "How come it is here, Geet said confused. "You both should go and investigate it ...you will get the final clue to your mission, They heard Amrita's voice. "Alright, then let's go, Ghosty said. They went through a strange path that lead to the Mansion. "Wait...it is guarded by strong magic..., Geet said. She went ahead and touched the shield around it creating an opening for them to get in. "How did you do that, Ghosty asked. "Its Grandpa's magic...I have inherited some strange magical powers more than that of my brother's ...some of them I'm still unaware of like this one, She said. As they neared it they heard voices from inside.
"You imbecile...you have bought Prince Maan and the Princess closer than ever ...I thought that you were clever, They heard that voice and peeked up to see two Aryans there. "I asked that Amrita to put that potion on Geet but ..., The first Aryan said.
"You moron, now listen very carefully ...this is where Maan should die and I hope you don't ruin our plan ...this time I will take the Princess won't be able to safeguard his body in time using her magic but I will destroy him to gain his powers ..., He said. "Safeguard in time...what do you mean...didn't you say that you killed him and the Princess was married to you, The First Aryan said. "No ...before I could kill him the Princess used her magic to freeze his body and his soul just wandered in this Mansion ...The Princess said she will come back to him to free him and that little descendant of mine is the Princess herself to free him ...that is why they have come back here to change everything but I will not let that happen this time, He said.
Geet and Ghosty heard the conversation and they quietly left the place before they could notice them. "He said ...I'm not completely dead and you are here to free me, Ghosty said. "Hmm...let me think what to do next then, Geet said thoughtfully. "I think we should try contacting the spirit world ...they could help us in stopping everything from here on, Geet said. They went back to the Palace and heard that the wedding preparations were already starting. "Already...but how ...wasn't it supposed to be later, Ghosty said. "Something is wrong and we must hurry, Geet said. They saw the Princess and Prince coming towards them so they tried to mask their shock expressions. "Congratulations on your wedding, Geet smiled. "Thank you, The Princess smiled. "If you don't mind could we ask why the sudden change, Ghosty asked not able to stop himself. "We are happy and love each other so why should we delay the wedding so we with our elders wishes just shifted the date early by few days, Prince Maan said. "That is great, Geet smiled not wanting Ghosty to ask more questions as it would raise suspicion. Geet and Ghosty went to find Amrita as their plan needed to be executed tonight.
They found Amrita and she looked worried. "We were looking for you, Ghosty said. "He will kill Divyansh please save him, She pleaded. "Come with us, Geet said escorting her to their chambers. "Looks like there are two of grandpas who have done this one is like him and the other from this era...we need to hide you and I'm contacting the spirit world now to take help, Geet said. She summoned the spirit world and the portal opened. Her Mom appeared, "Geet how have you been you didn't contact us and your father was so worried. "Are you alright my little angel, Her father appeared soon after worried for his child. "I'm fine Mommy Daddy, She grinned.
"This don't look like your room where are you, Her Mom asked. "She's in the past, Ghosty answered. "So you are with her...then it is all good, so why did you summon us, Her Mom asked. "Mom, I need your help, She said and narrated everything to her parents. "I think the King could help us, Her dad said. "King...who is that, Geet asked. "I am the King, She saw a man and was shocked to see him as the same man who send her to Ghosty's place. "You ...you are that man who send me to ward ghosty off, Geet said. "Yes,I was the one as I knew only you have that power to free Prince Maan and to capture Aryan who has been wandering in the mortal world, He said.
"I...but how..I want your help to save Princess Amrita here and also her love Prince Divyansh, Geet said. "You are the descendant of the most powerful sorceress Princess Geet...there is nothing you can't do, you have many powers which are yet to be awaken, come here dear, I will help you, The King said. Geet moved forward and the King blessed her awakening her powers. "To free Divyansh, is a simple task for you, right Geet, He said. "Yes Sir...I get it now and to save you we must tell Princess and the Prince our true identities, She grinned. "Are you sure, Ghosty asked. "You think I'm bluffing just wait and watch, She said. They went to the room where Divyansh was held captive. Geet used her now awakened powers and the door unlocked easily. They entered with caution, she looked around and saw the magical barrier.
"He is under a barrier, She pointed. "Yes but only Aryan can break it, Amrita said worried. "Don't worry, his descendant can do that too, She grinned. She touched the barrier and unlike others she was able to pass through it. Divyansh looked up to see Amrita who signaled him not to speak. Ghosty was amazed to see how easily she unlocked the magical cage around the other Prince who was freed in an instant. "You really freed him, Ghosty said. "Yes, I did and now for the final act as grandpa will be furious upon learning that this Prince escaped, She grinned. She summoned her powers and formed an illusion of Divyansh in that cage.
"How did you do that, Ghosty said. "So ghosty you thought only you can have good powers, She grinned. "That was amazing, good work kiddo, Prince Divyansh said. "Hehe, actually you should thank the King of spirits he was guiding me, She said. "Oh so that is how you did that, Ghosty said. "Alright then, you two elope just like we planned and the King of spirits will help you find a secure place and now for the tough part to go and reveal our identities so are you ready Ghosty, She said.
"Thank you both of you for saving us but are you sure you don't need any help for Aryan, Amrita asked. "Ah, no don't worry we have a hidden weapon against my dear grandpa so just wait and watch, She assured. Amrita and Divyansh went through the spirit portal guided by the King and were taken to a secured place.
Geet and Ghosty went to the Prince's chambers, where both he and the Princess were present discussing their wedding which was to happen the following day. "Pardon me, My Lord, we ..have something to tell you, Ghosty said. "What is it, Young Lord, is there any trouble that you look nervous, The Princess asked. "Ah, no Milady, it is just there is something we wish to speak about before your wedding tomorrow, Ghosty said. "You can tell us anything Young Lord, please don't hesitate, Prince Maan said. "Actually, we are you from the future, Geet said hurriedly awaiting their reply but what they heard was laughter. Both of them looked up to see the Prince and the Princess laughing. "So you finally decided to tell us, The Prince said. "So you knew, Ghosty asked. "Of course I did and so did the Princess, He said. "How, Geet asked.
"There is no way I couldn't recognize my Geet even if she is from another time line, Prince Maan said that knowingly just to gauge Ghosty's reactions and he got what he thought and smirked. "His Geet...he says, huh what a two timer he already has his Geet and still eying on ...mine, He thought angrily. "You seem to be in a deep thought, Young Lord, did I say anything wrong, Prince Maan prodded. "Ghosty, don't go in dreamland, here we are in the middle of a serious conversation. Okay so we have thought that we replace you two in the ceremony, so even if grandp...I mean Prince Aryan tries something you can be safe, Geet said. "I think he is after you my dear, The Princess said. "What..., Ghosty said alarmed. "Yes, he is after her our descendant who is currently more powerful than him or myself, The Princess revealed. "So what do you propose, Ghosty asked. "I was thinking that if you and I should stand at the aisle while the Prince and the kid wait for the right time, Princess suggested.
"Seems good enough, what say Ghosty, Geet said. "I..I'm not sure, Ghosty said not wanting to leave Geet with his other self especially when his words of his Geet rang through his mind. "Ladies, if you don't mind could you leave us alone, I want to have a chat with my future self here, Prince Maan said. Both nodded and left them alone. "Scared, young Lord, that I might take your Geet away, The Prince said as soon as they left.
"W..What do you mean and why would I be scared, Ghosty said. "You can lie to the world, but not yourself and I am you, He said. "I don't get you, Ghosty said irritated with his riddles.
"You love the kid, don't you and you are repeating the same mistake you did when you were here...not telling her and letting her go...rest you can be assured my previous statement was just to confirm my doubts and you acted exactly the way I thought...so give it a thought and let's face this ordeal together, He said. Ghosty thought about it and nodded, "Alright we will go with the Princess' plan.
The day of the wedding finally arrived and the stage was now set. "You look beautiful, my dear, Prince Maan said looking at the Princess.
"Thank you, My Lord, I hope after this ordeal we will united in this life time forever till eternity, She smiled.
"We will, I'm sure. You nervous for our plan, He asked. "I'm worried about the kid and the other you more than myself as he is there I can see it in my visions, She said. "Don't worry this time we will get our happy ever after, He smiled.
Ghosty got ready in the same attire as the Prince. "Brings back memories, right, He turned back to see Geet there.
"Yeah, a little though I don't really remember any of this, Ghosty said. "Don't worry Ghosty, we got your back and you do know our secret weapon, right, She smiled. "Are you sure...you are risking too much here..what if he gets you, Ghosty said.
"I will be fine Ghosty, I know what to do, you will get your freedom soon, then we can meet again, right, She said. "We will surely meet again..., He smiled. All the four now awaited the final moment which would decide everything.
