There was a princess from the illustrious House Adren, known for their deep connection to elements.Her face caught the light like moonbeams and eyes that caught everyone who beheld her.Yet, it was her enigmatic aura that set her apart—often training alone , whispering secrets to the wind and mysterious yet captivating.
I had heard about her but the first time I had seen her remained in my heart.
‘Fresh raspberries.Raspberries.’
‘Handlooms.Toys.Clothes.All the way from the capital.Get it here’
‘Freshly plucked vegetables.At the cheapest. Veggies.Veggies.Plucked fresh.’
It was a long time after Dhruv and I had bunked training just for fun.The weather was scorching hot and we craved for an ice popsicle.
As we gobbled it, a blazing fire broke out. It reached the corners of the market in a flash.The crowd was in turmoil.The panic set forth a stampede.
‘Chal yaar, wahan chal’ Dhruv hurried along with my hand to a corner.
As we waited we saw a little girl.She wore white silk with a blue lining.She seemed to be looking for someone.But she looked terrified and ran to the corner in which we were hiding.
She didn't notice our presence.The panic in the crowd grew louder and louder.The alley was scary and dark.It terrified her and she decided to escape from it.
Dhruv swiftly grabbed her hand back.’You idiot. Here, take her.’ He gestured towards my side. Naina looked up at Dhruv ,her fear momentarily overshadowed by curiosity at this brave stranger.
But the hope was lost too quickly inside her.She started wailing while everyone around us were screaming.
She wailed ‘ I want daddy.Please. Someone.’
Dhruv looked at her like she was mental but something came over me.It reminded me of my childhood.
I grabbed her from back.In a calm voice ‘ It's fine. Calm down.Please.Just calm down and breathe.’
