Jai walked into Markaat's temple, his fists clenched in anger. The cold stone floor echoed with his heavy steps as he moved toward his statue and summons him by their secret words.

"Markaat, I've tried everything!" Jai said, his voice sharp. "Bani won't kill Veer! She's different now. There's something going on between them. I don't understand it."

Markaat said "You're too impatient, Jai. You don't see the bigger picture. Bani is tangled in her feelings for the Cheel prince. She's weak, confused, and it's perfect for us."

Jai frowned. "What do you mean?"

Markaat said "I have a plan. There's a creature-a powerful one. Naagcheel. She's half Naag and half Cheel. She's lived for centuries and hates Aadinaagin with a burning passion. If we use her, we can tear Bani apart. She'll think the Cheels are attacking the Naag Lok, and the Naags will believe it. They'll think Bani is the reason for all this chaos."

Jai's eyes widened as the pieces started to fall into place. "You want me to make her destroy Bani. Expose her as the one who married Veer. Make them think she betrayed her own people?"

Markaat replied "Exactly. Let the Naags see her as a traitor. Then she'll have no place with them. She'll be lost."

Jai grinned, his mind racing with the possibilities. "I'll do it. I'll make sure it works."

Later, Naagcheel stood in front of Jai.Her half face burnt.

"So, Jai, Markaat send you." she asked, her voice filled with suspicion.

Jai smiled, a hint of malice in his eyes. "Yess definitely .It is high time to get Bani in trouble."

Naagcheel looked at Jai for a moment, then nodded. "Fine. I'll do it."

With a wave of her hand, she commanded the army to follow her. The ground shook as the Cheels took to the skies, heading straight for the Naag Lok.She was given this army by Markaat to help him fight their common enemy Aadinaagin.

At the Naag Lok, Bani could feel the tension in the air. Her warriors were already fighting the Cheels who had appeared out of nowhere. She rushed to the battlefield, her heart pounding.

"Step aside, my warriors. I'll handle this," Bani said firmly, her voice full of authority.

She stepped into the middle of the fight, her eyes locking with Naagcheel, who had transformed into her hybrid form. The creature sneered at her, her teeth sharp as knives.

"You think you can stop me, Aadinaagin?" Naagcheel hissed.

Without a word, Bani launched herself at Naagcheel, her energy crackling in the air. But Naagcheel was fast, shifting between her forms in an instant. She was at two places at one time -part snake, part eagle-and every time Bani tried to strike, Naagcheel was gone.

Bani was growing frustrated. She needed to end this quickly. She released a blast of energy, but just as she was about to strike again, Naagcheel and her army of Cheels vanished, leaving only a scroll behind.

Bani picked it up, her hands trembling. The message on it made her blood run cold: "We will end Naag Lok once and for all."

Her heart raced as she crumpled the scroll in her hand. "This isn't over," she muttered, her fists tightening.

Jai appeared from the shadows, his smile smug. "Bani, it's over. You think you can still protect your people after what you've done? You married Veer, the Cheel prince. Do you really expect the Naags to trust you now?"
