The Lost Dynasty

Chapter 12

This was all too much for Kyda.

She laid down on the hand woven charpai on top of the rooftops of the palace. As the sky began to form a sunburnt orange with traces of fuscia pink clouds.

The cool breeze hits her roasting skin.

Her eyes were swollen.

The tear trails dried up on her reddish cheeks caused by the heat. If her mother was there, she would have slathered her with sunscreen. However, the old wise man was there as a substitute parental figure and pats her head gently to calm her down.

Just like her Nana (grandfather).

She couldn't break herself away to thinking about Saif and hating herself for it.

He was not hers.

She was not supposed to be here and should not be his.

How could she behave such a way towards him?

Amita came back with some chai (tea) and her lips managed to curl up slightly on both ends as she noticed Kyda was coming back to her normal state. She placed the tray of 3 cups of chai (tea) onto the wooden coffee table in front of them and joined her on the charpai. Kyda sat up to make some space for Amita, but she placed Kyda head on her lap allowing her to recover from her breakdown and stroking her hair "It's ok there enough space for me".

The Dr observed Kyda condition and knew she was going to be fine.

She just had her moment of weakness.

"What made you behave that way earlier?" Dr Adil wanted answers, knowing he will soon have to exhibit those answer to the soon livid Emperor, once he hears the events from his next heir.

Kyda sat up again as she was too self-conscious to make eye contact with those, she caused so much unnecessary trouble for. She watched the sun set as the variety of the Emperor birds was chirping in their gold cage, mimicking a castle.

"I miss home... I don't belong here, and I just want to go home" she spoke without facing them.

Amita hugged her from behide "Don't worry, you will be home soon... but we can do many fun things before you go back". Kyda smiled weakly towards one of her only companions "I can't wait" her throat was still sore and dry from her emotional fit.

She may have fooled Amita with her words but not the Dr.

The Dr knew something was pestering Kyda state of mind, allowing her to become detrimental to not just others but to herself.

He will naturally come to know the truth.

"Good news for you, Kyda. I may have found a way home for you"

The two girls faced him in shock.

Did he really find a way home for her?

"Are you serious?" Kyda couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"How did this all happen?" Amita, as his mentee, became curious to how he figured out such a perplexing occurrence. "The medical chest that, Kyda came out of did not originally belong to me, it belonged to a questionable character. He was known to cast bewitching black magic in his village. With his misdeeds, the villagers feared him as he ruled with an iron fist over them.

This chest was known to bring items that were needed into his possessions". Kyda went towards them obviously confused with the whole situation "So you're telling me the medical trunk that I came out from, was owned by an evil wizard?". Amita followed and stood by her side "And what do you mean needed items?".

Kyda was still not over by the fact that the people of this era believed in wizards and black magic "Your telling me that you knowingly brought back a magical trunk from some evil wizard, expecting that no one could go wrong?".
