I trudged through the dense forest, my senses on high alert. Arjun walked beside me, his eyes scanning the surroundings with a mixture of excitement and apprehension. We had been searching for the supernatural fruit for hours, and the sun was beginning to set.
Suddenly, I sensed a presence. Two ghostly wraiths materialized before us, their ethereal bodies shimmering in the fading light. I reached out with my mind, trying to understand their intentions.

"They're trying to confuse us," I whispered to Arjun. "They'll try to make us see things that aren't there."
Arjun nodded, his hand on the hilt of his sword. "I'll take care of them," he said confidently.
But as the wraiths began to weave their illusions, I realized that this wouldn't be an ordinary fight. I focused my mind, using my powers to see through the deception. The wraiths were trying to separate us, to make us doubt each other.
I reached out to Arjun with my mind, connecting our thoughts. "Trust me," I said. "I'll guide you through this."
Together, we fought off the wraiths, our movements synchronized as we struck down the spectral beings. When the battle was over, we stood panting, our bond stronger than ever.
"That was just the beginning," I said, my eyes scanning the forest. "We need to be ready for what comes next."
Arjun nodded, his face set in determination. "We're in this together, Abhay. Always."
Swara point of view
I and sanskar are sitting in the library and shommy enters the room, sanskar started shouting at shommy .
Sanskar's eyes blazed with anger, his fists clenched at his sides. "You're supposed to be her protector, but you were nowhere to be found when she needed you most!"
Shommy's expression remained calm, but his eyes flashed with a hint of defensiveness. "I can only protect her physically, Sanskar. I can't shield her from mental attacks."
Sanskar snorted. "Useless!"
Shommy's face tightened, but he remained silent.
I intervened, "Stop it, Sanskar. Shommy didn't know what was happening. And he's right, he can only protect me physically."
Sanskar's anger slowly dissipated, replaced by a scowl. "Fine. But I'm not leaving her side again."
Shommy nodded. "I understand. I'll stay close too."
As the tension in the room eased, Shommy turned to me. "You should rest now. You've been through a lot."
I nodded, my eyes heavy with fatigue. Shommy escorted me to my room, Sanskar following closely behind.
As they settled her in, Shommy turned to Sanskar. "I'll stay here, outside her room.
Sanskar's Point of view
I and shommy came out of the room.
Shommy said your brothers needs to hurry up and find the witch and you need to be crowned as king soon only then you can save swara for the creature or else it will be too late . You don't have much time left you know that right asked shommy
Shommy's words sent a surge of urgency through me. I knew he was right - time was running out, and I needed to find a way to save Swara before it was too late.
"I know," I said, my voice firm. "I'll do whatever it takes to save her. But I can't be crowned king without finding my soulmate."
Shommy's eyes narrowed. "You don't have time for that, Sanskar. You need to find a way to circumvent the curse."
I shook my head. "I can't. The curse is binding. I need to find my soulmate, or I'll never be able to claim the throne."
Shommy's face twisted in frustration. "Fine. But you need to hurry, Sanskar. Your brothers are getting closer to finding the witch, but they're not the only ones searching for her. The creature is getting stronger, and it won't hesitate to strike again."
I nodded, my mind racing with the weight of the task ahead. I needed to find my soulmate, and fast. But where did I even start looking? And how could I convince them to help me when they didn't even know me?
"Do you have feelings for Swara?" Shommy asked, his eyes piercing mine.
I scoffed, my face twisting in disgust. "What kind of ridiculous question is that? No, I don't have feelings for her. I'm just trying to save her because it's my duty ."
Shommy's eyes narrowed, his face set in a determined expression. "Sanskar, I know you better than that. You can't fool me. You have feelings for her, don't you?"
I laughed, a harsh, mocking sound. "You're delusional, Shommy. I don't know what kind of fantasy world you're living in, but I don't have feelings for Swara. And even if I did, which I don't, it wouldn't matter.
Shommy's face fell, his eyes clouding over with disappointment. "Sanskar, don't be like that. Acknowledge your feelings. It's the only way to—"
I cut him off, my voice cold and cruel. "No, Shommy. Just no. Get out of my sight before I lose my temper completely."
Shommy's face fell, and he turned away, his shoulders slumped in defeat. I watched him go, my heart hard and unyielding. I wouldn't let myself feel anything for Swara. I couldn't afford to.
