Shadows Of Amber and Scarlet

Chapter 19- The Power Unleashed

After a harrowing encounter that left Amara injured, they finally return to their temporary sanctuary. Exhausted from the ordeal, Amara collapses onto her bed, immediately succumbing to the embrace of sleep. However, Arjun finds himself unable to find solace in slumber.

Arjun went to Rajan, " Rajan what exactly happened, can you tell me?"

" The Amulet recognised Amara as its weilder and owner, not in the last, but at the very beginning of the battle. ", told Rajan and momentarily paused,

"Continue, its not all right? if  it recognised her in the beginning, why did she collapse in the end?"

"You see, amulet has immense power, and to control it or to make a connection with it is beyong human strength. However Amara has this ability within herself to weild, but still she is a human. During the battle, when you thought you won and were happy in the moment, someone tried to attack you with some sort of spell, when Amara blocked it without your knowledge. The impact of the attack would be huge to human body, making it weaker. Now, because the impact made her body weak, the powers of the amulet which made connection with her became unstable, which made her levitate. Unable to stand the unstability, she collapsed. Her current condition is weak, but her healing abilities are better than you think Arjun, it will take some days, but she will recover. "

Arjun was shocked to hear this, and left Rajan's room without uttering a single word. 

He gazed at Amara's peaceful sleeping form, an overwhelming surge of emotions flooding his being. The vulnerability of the moment deepening his love and devotion for her.

Hiss thoughts were consumed by the image of Amara's injured form, her pain etched into his memory. He somehow blamed himself for putting Amara in danger.

Silently, tears stream down Arjun's face, his heart heavy with regret and remorse. 

In the quiet of the room, Arjun made a silent vow to himself. He promised to protect Amara, to shield her from any harm that may come her way, pledging to be the source of happiness and strength in her life, determined to make up for the pain she endured.

As his tears fall, a newfound resolve took hold of Arjun's spirit. He will be unwavering in his dedication, going to great lengths to ensure Amara's safety and happiness. The weight of responsibility settling on his shoulders, driving him to be the protector she deserves.

The tears gradually subsided as Arjun wiped them away.  "I will keep you safe, Amara. I will cherish and protect you, always."

In the room adjacent to Arjun's restless pacing, Amara slowly regained consciousness. Her eyelids fluttered open, and she found herself lying on a soft bed. Confusion washed over her as she tried to make sense of what had transpired. The memory of being lifted by the amulet and the subsequent fall flooded her thoughts. She sat up, her head still spinning, and took in her surroundings.A gentle knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. 

Arjun cautiously entered the room, his eyes filled with concern. 

"Are you alright, Amara?" he asked, his voice laced with worry. Amara managed a weak smile. "I... I think so. What happened?" she asked, her voice tinged with a mix of curiosity and apprehension .Arjun approached her, taking a seat by her side. "I don't know, Amara. The amulet glowed with such intensity, and suddenly, you were lifted into the air. It was as if it recognized you as its owner," he explained, his voice trailing off, not telling her what exactly happened.

Amara's eyes widened in surprise. "The amulet recognized me?" she repeated, her mind trying to process the revelation. "But why? What does it mean?"Arjun shrugged, his brows furrowed in confusion. "I wish I knew, Amara. But for now, we need to focus on understanding what just happened and finding a way to control these newfound powers," he said, determination flickering in his eyes.

Amara nodded, her mind racing with a mix of curiosity and trepidation.

 "Agreed. We can't afford to ignore this. We need to seek guidance, find someone who can help us understand the amulet's purpose and how to harness its powers, but somehow, everytime, like every single time there are some of these weird people which we dont know about, literally wishing to kill us. You know this is not what makes me think is weird, or it is not that I am afraid, its just that these people know about us more than we ourselves do, at some times,its like we dont really know who we are or what we are. The irony is while all the people here know about us, we have no idea about who they actually are or how many such groups are there. We dont even know about this amulet. " she said.

Arjun's gaze softened as he looked at Amara. "We'll figure this out, Amara. Together. We've come this far, and I won't let anything stand in our way," he reassured her, his voice filled with unwavering determination.Amara reached out and grasped Arjun's hand, a silent acknowledgment of their shared commitment. "Thank you, Arjun. Now that i think about it, I couldn't imagine going through this journey with anyone else by my side," she confessed, a hint of vulnerability in her voice.Arjun felt a mixture of gratitude and affection. "The feeling is mutual, Amara. After all we make a formidable team, dont we?," he said, a warm smile gracing his lips.Their conversation was momentarily interrupted by a gentle knock on the door. Arjun rose from his seat and opened it to reveal Rajan, the local scholar they had sought assistance from earlier. He entered the room, a knowing look in his eyes.

"I couldn't help but overhear your conversation," Rajan began, his voice filled with a sense of wisdom. "It seems the amulet has chosen you, Amara. Its power is immense, but also untamed. To unlock its true potential, you'll need guidance," he explained, his gaze shifting between Amara and Arjun.

Both of them exchanged glances, a mixture of anticipation and uncertainty in their eyes. "We're ready to learn, Rajan. We're willing to do whatever it takes to master this power and fulfill our purpose," Arjun said, her voice steady and resolute.Rajan nodded, a small smile playing on his lips. "Very well. Lets start on a new journey to help you.," he declared, his voice carrying a sense of gravitas.

And so, as the night deepened, Amara, Arjun, and Rajan embarked on a new chapter of their quest. Guided by the enigmatic power of the amulet, they would traverse uncharted territories, face formidable challenges, and uncover ancient truths that would shape their destinies. Little did they know that their journey was about to take an unexpected turn, unveiling secrets that would test their resolve and push them to their limits.
