Mahitha : what she is doing there ?

Mahitha slowly walked towards that person. She stopped as that person turned back and stabbed the one who is following her. The woman is none other than theera. She stabbed the commander. Mahitha felt like as if her world is collapsing. Her eyes are filled with rage. She felt disgusted for trusting theera.

Mahitha rushed towards them. By the time she goes theere theera went into the cave. 

Mahitha : commander ! 

Commander : princess ! Do,n't...tru..st

Commander breathed his last. He is dead.

Mahitha held her head in frustration. She then realised that even the antidote is with theera. She went towards the cave. When she is about to enter , theera came back.

Theera : princess ! 

Mahitha : don't address me with that mouth of yours. Shut up !

Theera peeped towards commander's dead body.

Theera : you are misunderstanding me princess. Commander is working with Priyamvadha.

Mahitha : how you concluded that ? Do you have any proof ? then what about our horses ?

Theera : what ? What happened to them ? I have proof against commander.

..........

Priyamvadha reached the forest. She panted . She slowly limped towards the pond. Her leg is badly injured. She thought her leg would get amputated soon. An arrow got hit to her leg. It pierced much deeper into her leg.

She drank some water and sat on a stone. She examined her leg.

Priyamvadha ( to herself ) : is this what you dreamt of priya ? Look how you ended up !

Shodasi devi : you'll end up in a better condition dear ! You'll end up in our prison. Soldiers ! Arrest her.

Priyamvadha : how did you trace me ?

Shodasi devi : you are a jackal and i am a lioness. A jackal can plot well. But a lioness can hunt well.

The soldiers dragged Priyamvadha. Shodasi devi saw priyamvadha's ring beside the stone on which she sat. 

Shodasi devi observed it. It have a snake logo.

Shodasi devi : this might help us. Keep it with you.

Minister : ok maharani ! 

...........

Veerendra deva waited for mahitha and theera's return.

soldier : maharaja ! 

Veerendra deva : yes ! What happened ?

Soldier : an old sage came here saying that he is here to save maharaja vallabha deva and the other man on yuvarani mahitha's wish.

Veerendra deva : send him in. Treat him in the best way.

Soldier : yes maharaja !

The saint walked into the medical chamber. He checked the pulse of vallabha deva. 

Saint : he have an extreme body. After giving the antidote he must be cautious for few masas (months )

Veerendra deva : ok ji ! 

Saint poured the antidote into vallabhadeva's mouth and vallabha deva started shivering. Veerendra deva and kritaja looked at him with concern.

Saint : don't worry ! It is working.

Veerendra deva thanked lord shiva internally for sending this saint throw mahitha.

Saint moved towards adarsh and checked his pulse. He suddenly left adarsh's hand and looked at the king.

Veerendra deva : what happened ji ?

Saint : who is he ?

Veerendra deva : yuvarani mahitha's friend.

Saint pressed his thumb against adarsh's forehead and closed his eyes. He started reading his mind. He read when adarsh was born , how his parents died , why he came here , how he came here and what is going to happen now. He opened his all of sudden. The saints calm eyes are now bloodshot. 

Kritaja : what happened guruji ?

Saint : he isn't born to be a prominent one in his time. He is born to 'rewrite the futures' of people.

Kritaja : I didn't understand guruji ! 

Saint : it's better if you don't understand that princess. Leave that. 

Saint treated adarsh and checked vallabha deva.

Saint : they will wake up in few hours. Give light food for few days. Here ! Keep this with you. Give this to mahitha once she returns.

..........

The soldiers throwed Priyamvadha in the prison. 

Priyamvadha smirked. 

Priyamvadha ( mindvoice ) : you thought you are going to win right ? He will come soon. He will kill all of you. He will end the lineage of both vijayapuri and ujwala. You can't stop him. Not even the trideva's. Because he is a walking death for all of you. He will make you pay for everything.
