Palace----
Devsena was standing in front of the picture of her Appa.
"Congratulations! Loads of congratulations! Today, my Devsena... Oh! Apologies, Queen Devsena had made her Mausi Amma proud. Today was a golden day of my life where I saw the fighting of such a great warrior. You were the ultimate form of Dravid courage, power and patience today but I wasn't able to understand the reason of your moderation today. Why didn't you killed that Arya today only"?
" I, myself, also try to understand this. Before today, whenever I landed on the battlefield for a combat, upon lifting the weapon my could only concentrate on the attack but today, I was unable to bring that intensity in my attack".
"Well, I have never seen such a strong and skillful warrior till today. You are fighting with such a capable opponent for the first time, maybe because of it".
" I don't know. I have to kill him. He have to die. I want his death. Only death".
"I have total faith in you that when the combat will restart, you will follow the Dravid faith and you will only make this combat decisive. You are surely your mother's imitation. Today your words memorize me of Chamundi Akka".
Arya Camp----
Varundev's Room----
Sivaan was applying ointment on the wounds of Varundev.
"The game of luck is very irrelevant. The person who have never ever had a small cut in any fight is now having his body full of wounds that to from the hands of a Dravid women".
" Are you teasing me, Sivaan"?
"No! I am warning you because the ointment I am going to apply in your wounds now, will give you immense pain but you have to endure it because this is only going to make your wound heal sooner".
Sivaan started to apply the ointment but Varundev sat still. Not even a ounce of pain in his face. The ointment that Sivaan was applying could have given a burning sensation which is not even comparable to the stab of thousand times in the same wound.
" Sivaan, you are shocked that why your medicine is not giving me any pain. Right? Because these are not wounds. These are only the marks on the places where Devsena had touched me. During the combat, whenever she came in front of me and saw through my eyes, it felt like not only her sword but also the arrows from her eyes are piercing through me. That causes injury to the core".
"Can I say something? You have started speaking the language of love. You have already fallen for her".
" Sivaan, just leave me alone for sometime. The combat isn't over yet. I want to practice ".
" As your wish"!
Dravid Palace----
Hahuma's Room----
Dayalini went and stand in front of Hahuma.
"Worshipful Hahuma"!
" Speak. What is the result "?
"Arya was saved today".
"How? Why"?
"I have to adjourn the combat because of the combat being unfair. It may restart tomorrow if the rain will stop. Devsena will only win the combat".
" If this can happen tomorrow, then why didn't it happened today".
"Why are you being so worried Hahuma? There is only a difference of a single night between today and tomorrow. Are you also inkling the same crisis as me"?
" Night means darkness means emptiness and you know what can happen in this time, right "?
"The legislation of law or treasure of love. You were also not able to defend the words of Chamundi Akka. Is this is what worrying you"?
" No this can't happen. I can't let this happen. I want to talk to Mahisiamman. Give me some privacy, Dayalini ".
Devsena's Room----
Devsena was sleeping in her room but the face of Varundev in her dreams, wake her up. She went to the balcony to let the rain wash away all her thoughts. When she went into her room, the first thing that fall in her eyes was the teared up portrait of Varundev. The anger inside her heart aroused again. She took the sword near her and was about to strike again...
she saw that their is the mark of the lion symbol which indicates the Aryans. She called Anguri.
" Where's my sword? This is the sword of the Aryans not of my Amma. Where is it"?
"Apologies sister... I mean my queen. After the adjournment of the combat, the soldiers of both the side went into an argument. Maybe at that time the sword have been mistakenly exchanged".
"Fine! Leave. You should be taking rest now".
Devsena was viewing the sword but she felt like she is holding Varundev's hand. The sword dropped from her hand. She was about to pick up the sword but she felt like someone is watching her. She looked up to find, it's Varundev. She watched him with shock.
"Why are you seeing me like, you have remembered someone else but instead you find it out to be me".
" You.... You are not ".
" Ask your heart. If I am or not".
"No! You are not".
She blinked her eyes several times and found out that she was just having a illusion.
Arya Camp----
Varundev's Room----
Varundev was about to bring his sword for practice but he noticed a bull sign in that swords that is the mark of the Dravidians. He carefully hold it and lied it in his bed. He was about to turn and move out but felt that somebody hold his hand. He turned his eyes to the bed only to find out Devsena was lying in it. But the image evaporated after sometime. He kneeled and said,
"Look! How unique relationship have been formed among us. These wounds on my body doesn't at all feels like the cut from the enemy's sword but rather feels like the caress of my love".
Meeting Hall----
Angdev said," Purohit Agnimitra, our defeat is worry less. Varundev taking part in the combat itself was a wrong decision. Otherwise, the warrior who never once have a cut in his body is now totally wounded by a women. Seeing him fight, I was feeling like age is kneeling in front of courage, bravery and skill. Or we can say that the youth of our Arya Veer was kneeling in front of that mesmerizing beauty".
Abhrook said, "Apologies Chieftain, but if you were have to go to that arena, we might not been seeing you here right now. Before questioning Varundev's skill think that none of us have any experience in fighting with a woman still Varundev not only fight that combat, but also gave the introduction of skill and Arya decorum. Purohit Agnimitra, I have full confidence in Varundev that he will give us victory and will also complete our dreams of Aryavarta".
" And if it will not happen, then? What will happen if Varundev will lose the fight? Have we ever thought that with his defeat our dream will also die".
Agnimitra said, "And I am never going to let that happen. If in tomorrow's combat we will have less chances then we will move towards the next plan. Chieftains, please believe in the God of Thunder's grace and me".
