The tent turns out to be a very interesting and intriguing place with its exotically dancing djinn woman and men who are more than ready to throw their hearts at their feet.
I have never seen such fluid and eye capturing dance moves before just as I have never heard such enchanting music topped off by the pleasant smelling smoke floating in the tent .
More than a couple of those beautiful dancing female djinns approach Arham and he van0ishes with them . Emir stands by my side but I see him eyeing a beautiful red haired djinn while she does the same to him .
Deciding that I don't want to stop him from whatever he wants to do I lean close to him so he can hear me over the enticing music
" I need to breathe fresh air pl
says taking his eyes off the red head.
" It is " I lie.
He nods almost talking to himself " The aphrodisiac in it does that to people sometimes "
" There's aphrodisiac in it ?" I ask shocked.
" Yes" he shrugs as if it's no big deal while I suddenly feel like I have just gotten some unwanted drug in my body.
" I'm going out " I hurriedly say over my shoulder already making way towards the exit.
When I emerge out of the tent the scenary I see is jarrs my senses as dark and ominous fog curls in the air like a giant serpent. Chaos , screams and frantic sounds of running assault my senses as my hearing is no more occupied by the enticing music inside.
" Don't inhale " Prince Ruslan is instantly beside me his shoulders tense and stance ready to fight though his sword is sheathed in its scabbard as there is no visible enemy in sight for now , only the fog .
His face is set with determination and his violet eyes narrow as he concentrates on making the fog dispel while the panicked Djinns around us are scampering in every direction.
" The fog cannot be countered " Emir comes out from the tent behind us, though his hair are disheveled his eyes are keen and his sword is clenched in his hand . He takes a large inhale of the rapidly spreading smoke and informs " It contains a strange poison that keeps breaching past the air shields " he lets loose a string of expletives as the dark fog continues to thicken in front of us
" Must be one of Ayelet's cursed new concoctions"
The Fog keeps spreading like an inky blot against the tranquil sky and though I try not to breath suffocation sets in forcing me to inhale and my eyes start stinging . Coveing my nose I try to wipe my eyes but the stinging sensation only increases .
Prince Ruslan turns towards me and says something but the numerous howling sounds that suddenly pierce through the air drown out every other sound. Even the dance tent behind us has gone silent. People have emerged out of it looking shocked and confused but Prince Arham who for once looks serious as he pulls out his own sword shoos them all back into the tent.
Suddenly deep keening sounds fill the air on all sides but stop just as abruptly making unnerving silence fill the air .
The sounds are terrifying enough to make goosebumps break across my skin .
I don't know what is worst the dreadful sounds or the unnerving silence.
The entire area seems to have been deserted now also it is impossible to see anything beyond five steps as the repulsive fog grows thicker by the second obscuring the view and fresh air.
" What was that sound ?" I ask my voice barely above whisper as fear claws up my body .
" The Dothrakaäns" Emir replies not taking his eyes off the fog surrounding us though I can see his eyes have watery sheen due to the sting in the air.
The fog is affecting both the princes
Prince Ruslan exchanges a hard look with his friend, " Where is Yaman ? "
" East side, the fog began from there" Emir replies sniffing once again. He must have some magical air powers to be able to sense this so easily.
With a short nod Prince Ruslan unsheathes his sword , and the sound of his weapon being pulled out of the scabbard echoes into the eerie silence.
" Secure the Princess " He strides ahead of us as Emir and Arham quickly stand in front of me and it dawns on me that these djinns intention is to shield me from potential attacks.
While Prince Ruslan chooses to stands a few feet ahead of us as the first line of defence . His back tall on prode and his stance protective and fierce as he narrows his eyes at a spot in the fog ahead and then.... all hell breaks loose.
Snarling beasts leap out of the fog. I barely get a glimpse of their demonic form before I'm shoved behind Emir's back while Arham letting loose a string of colorful expletives directed at them jumps in front of both of us , but by now my watering eyes can't see much of him either.
The stinging in my eyes intensifies further as if someone is spraying acid over them.
I gasp clenching my throat which feels like it is on flames and it keeps spreading mercilessly.
Tears run down my eyes almost blinding me .
The last I see are the huge dark forms leaping on the fighting Princes , and then I fall.
