KaSh Heaven:CongratulationsVIRINA! We❤️You!! Pg58

-----------------

'Ferret out every expanse of the forests, I Want my daughter back!' The Emperor calls the shot to his cavalrymen as he threw them words of authority and power.
In the nick of time, the horses and his men set out, adhering to his command.
Sudden fear had robbed the Queen of speech ever since Shilpa was taken away. She was blankly staring in the direction of the forest. Shashank could not exacavate any words of comfort to his dearest wife as he was himself dreading the thought of the worst happening of what Karan could do to their daughter.
'Padma' he said softly. A look of blank astonishment crossed her face as she looked at him. 'We can't afford to waste time!' she merely conveyed her understanding by blinking her eyes.
No sooner said than done, the King and the Queen set off with the horses, making their way down the forbidden forests following the cavalrymen. Only one objective was set at the core moment: Set Shilpa free from the clutches of Karan.

An obscurity started to form in the aerospace of the Earth. The King and the Queen halted with the horses along with the horsemen, as their eyes met the sky. The weather conditions suddenly seems to be deciding otherwise. The sun was growing dull and matt. The Moon's penumbral shadow was gradually striking the Earth. It was no longer giving out it's brightness. They were all left horror-struck at this sudden occuring, as they witnessed the moon shielding the sun. Moreover, an austral wind viciously blew around the forests, with the dead leaves dancing dangerously around. A smoggy cloud formed in the air and circled the whole surrounding. The cavalrymen felt on tenterhooks as they looked at their Lord.

'This is a sinister-calling My Lord!' Helios, the right-hand orator of Shashank spoke gravely to the King.

'This is all Karan's doing!' he said with intense sharpness while he eyes were still fixed skywards.

'We have to find Shilpa quickly!' The Queen stated fiercely. 'I don't want any harm caused on her'

'We comply to your fear Our Majesty...but so far we haven't trace any inkling of either of them. We have scoped half of the forests,yet there's no clue still.'

'I bear no explanations, we will hunt down the whole universe if we had to, my daughter needs to be found.' Fury burn in her eyes as she spoke with vehemence.

'Yes Our Majesty!' he bowed abiding to her command.

'What is this whole significance of this sudden eclipse?,' Shashank demanded to Helios and look back again towards the sky as clouds turned grey.

A haze spreaded all around the forest unabling them to see their further tracks. Out of nowhere, a silhoutte appeared, walking in a lightening rod- like a Divine inspiration, leaving everyone alert. He was clad in a long dark blue robe with a golden cloak shouldered on it, a long white beard reaching his navel and long gracious white silk hair. He walked with a wand, a green spherical-crystle glistening on top of it. His feature came visible to them, as they decipher it was Merlin-The Wizard.

'Merlin', The King recognized as he neared him with his horse. The magician bowed in front of him while Shashank gave a nod of aknowledgement. 'I beckon you to tell me the sudden occurence of the eclipse.'

'My Lord, it has been scripted in the myths that the intrusion of the Lord of Deaths to the Earth,taking an alive human down the Underground World would result of the whole Earth bereaved of the sun,hence the occurence of an eclipse' The King and The Queen looked at him with apprehensive fear as he continued in his smooth voice. 'The bad omen has already started it seems' he looked at the sky. 'The Dark Lord has triumphed in his deed.' he ended in a grave tone.

'How do we hinder his evil deeds?' Shashank demanded desperately.

'You cannot unring the bell now, he is on the crest of wave...he has accomplished whatever he wanted to. It's fait accompli now.' he said in his oldy timber voice. And with that, he walked back in the smoggy atmosphere and disappeared on a flick of a snap.

Petrified by the words of the magician, The King wasted no time in taking immediate actions as he shouted out orders to his men. 'Hound the whole forests!Karan shouldn't succeed at any cost. I beseech prompt actions.' With that, they all dispersed in the nucleus of the forests abiding to the orders, along with the Emperors as they fought for visibility amidst the fog.

-----------------

Shilpa's hand was clasped in his sinewy one. Despite her struggles, it was impossible to extricate herself from his hold. His poised and impertuable demeanour remained intact. He made no fearful annotation towards her inspite of the upheaval she tried to create along the way but he contniously dragged her to the crux of the forest. She lamented, yelped and pleaded behind him but he acted deaf ear to her supplications. Her gown trailed mercilessly on the ramshackle tracks. The forests grew grim and mournful as a smog started diffusing on every side. The sun was no longer giving it's light. It was sombre and bleak all around.

'Let go of me.' she shouted.

'Cry for your life, dear Daddy won't be able to rescue you from my clutch.' he said donning his usual diabolical tonality as a gust of wind blew on the surface.

'Your conjecture of this act is just a recipe of disaster you are calling for, you have not the slightiest idea what The Lord of The Earth may do to you.' she said with angst.

He stopped and faced her. His grip seared on her arms as she struggles to get out of it. 'I do not fear your Lord!' His face was stern.

'I do not fear you also.' She added with her Goddly-stance.

He locked his gaze down at her again and his evil smile twiched on his lips again. 'That am witnessing it...'

'Your powers will be reprimanded by the Gods.' she said fiercely.

'My dear Goddess, you are so naive...' Karan burst out in a scornful laughter on hearing her. 'My brother's weakness...' his eyes skimmed her intensely. 'am ruling the roost for the moment, he can't even put a scratch on me'

'You will not be successful in any of your evil deeds.' She shouted, as she strived to loose his fingers on her.

This is called evening the score' he was cool, composed but deadly. 'Had your Lord not poked his nose in my affairs...you would have been merrily playing in the field, running..dancing..bathing...' he ended wickedly as an evil smile passed his face as Shilpa's eyes widened with astonishment at his words. 'The dreamy Goddess, waiting for his knight every day,isn't it?' He let out a crazed laughter making crawl from inside. Even his laugh was satanical.

A booming sound made them alert as they heard approaching footsteps coming their way. It was the galloping sounds of horses. Sharped-eyes, Shilpa glanced in all the directions being hopeful for a rescue but amidst the haze and obscurity, she could vaguely see anything.
Karan became more vigilant, as he rose his one hand towards the sky and with the sleight of his hand through his occultism he further darkens the sky and encompassed a heap of fog all through the forest. Nobody was going to defy his will today. He was the one who reigns and only him, he thought acidly. The Majesty will have to pay the price for stomping his orders in his World.

In the blink of the eye, Shilpa managed to get out of his grasp and sprinted towards the sound of where the horses were coming from fleeing from the callous Dark Lord. As she kept on running, her silhoutte fought against the fog, trailing her presence behind her.

Karan chased her, his wrath growing strong. He was the one holding the reins, at no cost, was she going to get out of his trap. She was His now. His slave. The footsteps were growing more closer and he catched a glimpse of her ahead of him. He stopped as took a great gulp of air.

His hand rose towards the ground and in a spell-binding whisper, he ordered the Earth to open up.

-------------------

From afar, the King and the Queen spotted a dark silhouette drawing further to them amidst the haze until it struck them that it was their daughter. Alleviation took over them as they saw her darting at a breakneck speed in their directions.

'Shilpaaa!' His father shrieked at once along with his wife shouting her name behind him, as they rushed towards her.

Shilpa heart was slamming hard against her chest as she knew Karan was chasing her behind. It was the luck of the draw for her when she perceived her parents. 'Mom...Dad' an audible whisper escaped her mouth echoing silently . Finally, they found her, she thought. They would save her from the evil hands of Evil Lord. A ray of hope finally rose from her heart.

But suddenly, she felt her legs wobble as she was running. Initially, she thought her knees were giving up because of the running but she fell into consternation when she sensed the Earth quaking beneath her. A strike-split of the Earth occured as the faults were maginifying all around. An enigmatic fear overpowered her as she countersign the ground splitting into two, separating her from her parents. Paralysed with fear, she fell down as tears brimmed her eyes. The Earth was suddenly roaring with anger as a booming sound fell over them.

A heap of dust accumulated and clambered up blocking her vision and the least she could hear, was the cry of her father and mother, shouting for her. 'Shilpaaa!' the cry of her parents died over thundering sound of the cracking of the Earth.

The ground was intensely opening up and her parents seems now panoramic. She was incapable of uttering out a word due to lack of mental faculty. The vicious Dark Lord finally did succeed in his malicious work.

A dominant hand was enclosed around her waist as he pulled her up. She did not have to do two guessing to know who it was. His cold fingers holded her still as he smirked down at her. She was again in his trap.

'Running away from me beautiful?' his fiery and toxic eyes locked with hers. 'You cannot step out of my noose, you cannot escape the unevitable...Hence You CANNOT ESCAPE ME!' putting emphasis by biting off the words with acute venom. 'Now shout, SHOUT loud and asked for help.' He menaced her. 'Not even my dear brother, the King can come at your rescue.'

His fingers were piercing her arms, as he stood there with all his Mighty Malevolent air, his words stinging her. Pure terror, sliced through Shilpa but she kept a composed face, making no sign of fear.

'You are the beast of evil, you make my skin crawl at your mere touch' she spat out.

'Then wait till i make you sinfully mine forever.' He was striking and dangerously exciting, with his bold, dark eyes and the lazy, sensual curve of his mouth.

'You'll wait forever, because am never giving myself to you.'

'I have my own ways of making things work my dear Goddess..' his back-hand skimmed her silky cheek making her hiss in dispise. His eyes rested on her mouth.

'I'll prefer death than ever surrendering myself to you!'

He laughed uproariously at her gullibility. 'My dear, you are forgetting am the Lord of Death...your life dwell between the palms of my hands.' He opened his hand, demonstrating her, his strong and mighty hand, then a fine fire flickered between his palms making Shilpa flinched back. His eyes locked with her, intense, dark as sin and just as tempting as the fire blazed through his eyes. Abruptly, he snapped his palm closed as he viewed her dangerously, as he ordered the nature to obey to his orders. The Earth stopped creating faults at once and the roaring sound stopped at his mere command as his eyes were still fixed on her.

Shilpa cowered back, her heart stopped, then began pounding against her rib cage with a force that almost made her sick. He lunged forward like a snake striking, his face twisted with rage as his neck corded.

'Am...am..no... not coming with you..' she said firmly.

'Am not asking for your opinion!' he tilted his head evilly and in a fraction of bewitched second, they were transported to the deepest of the curve again to where they were initially. Darkness surrounded them again as Shilpa once again tried to flee from his captivated plans. Impetuously he grabbed her by the nape, drawing her closer to his face. 'I have this gnawing lust to keep you mine.' His face and eyes were red-hot as he meant every word candidly.

'Tyrannical Lords like you don't make me feel anything.' her mesmerizing deity face glowed in intense firmty.

His wicked leer appeared on the corner of his lips again. 'You are more enthralling than i was imagining.' There was a total sudden stillness in him, his breathing had changed,deepened and took on a ragged edge as he was unable to stop staring at her soft and velvety, rose-petals lips.

As if her mind had blown a fuse that she couldn't even begin to think straight as she witnessed his foxy and sly eyes fastened on her mouth, he drew her closer until her perfect body rested against him. A twinge of uneasiness crept over her, as she was able to to inhale his musky aroma of his aura. His features were so readable, so roguish, so wicked, so hot and torrid. She was unknowinlgy welcoming the essential Lordly maleness of it, her heart-kicking-slightly against her ribcage.

His hands seared her nape, and tucked her one hand behind her back. He wanted to taste the velvety taste of those lips. The feel of her, was warm and soft against his rough and fiery one. He saw her eyes widened, the black pupils expanding. A shiver rippled through his body as he brought her up to his own level, then he bent his head, and fed his deep hunger that has been arousing for a very longtime. He slanted his head and increased the pressure of his mouth, forcing them to open up.
Her body went stiff unto his hold but then she fought to detangle herself away from his venom mouth. Blood thundered through her veins as she resisted the kiss but he was plundering his mouth onto her unabling her to move out.
He had always saw her from afar, his mind always drifting on her exquisite beauty and those soft lips. Now she was live in his hands. The mere touch of his lips to hers had seared him. The press of his body to hers was eager and instintive. He wanted her so fiercely.
Her hands hitted his chests feriously, but Shilpa was enraptured in his diabolical kiss. Her head went dizzy and without knowing, she laid unconscious in the arms of the Dark Lord.
