Chapter-6

Aadrika walked with her trio into the bank of the dark river, which runs deep through the borders of the night realm, guarding its back. She stood for a while looking into the river, where its width seemed infinite. "It's time for me to practice and improve my cultivation," she said, closing her eyes and joining her hands towards the river. A wide bubble from the river covered the land. She opened her eyes after creating the protection and patted her forehead with her two fingers. A large white dragon emerged from her and soared into the sky. It roared and descended to the river.

"Why did you keep ten percent of your power outside and not in the cultivation?" asked Arit.

"Since I have informed Father about my cultivation, no one will be bothered by my existence outside. I will take this chance to roam outside," Aadrika replied with a smile.

"Born as a water dragon and acquiring the power to split yourself like a water drop, I can't believe you used it for this," said Arit.

"This is the power that I can use only in disguise. This is the power of Esha, who was the daughter of Water King. My mother passed her powers to me, but I can't reveal my power of water to the world," Aadrika explained.

"A power that is dreamed by many but can never be used!" Saketh shook his head in dismay.

"But Aadrika, won't this disrupt your cultivation?" asked Saketh.

"No. After splitting, we are two individuals, and when the cultivation is finished, I will converge them," Aadrika said, raising her hand. A sword and whip came out of the river and into her hand. The sword transformed into a fazan, which she inserted into her hair, and the whip into a ring.

"Arit, Saketh in my absence you should manage the realm with Father, and if anything is urgent, send me the signal. Nilay, you should stay here," Aadrika instructed.

"Wait, lord, you have only ten percent powers with you. How can you go alone?" Nilay said, supported by the others.

"I am going to roam around. How can I bring guards? How should I explain myself if this gets leaked?" Aadrika responded.

"Lord, I will guard this place and come with you," Nilay said.

"Even though I can't split my soul and powers, as an immortal, I can separate my soul and body," Nilay explained, turning into a small red tiger where his powers surrounded the bubble.

Aadrika nodded at his stubbornness and started her journey with Nilay, the small tiger.
