" You are not one of them but you do smell like one." said the man in his deep attractive voice.
"What's wrong with everyone commenting on how I smell ?!" said Indra in an irritated tone.
Indra added " Don't you know it is bad manners not to introduce yourself before speaking to someone?"
" Huhh.. Who cares about introduction if we are going to die anyway?" The man said in a tired voice.
"What do you mean?" asked Indra
"If you cannot tell , then you are a lost cause. But I am surprised that someone dared to enter this mountain. Who are you?...You... are new in this region?" the young man asked doubtfully.
"Still trying to act superior?..huhh.. Anyway I am Indra and yeah..you can say I am new here..." said Indra rubbing off snow from his shoulders.
" Indra..never heard of that name....I am Hakai " said the man slowly standing and stretching his body.
"I have some questions" said Indra .
"Are you serious? This is not the right time and place for asking questions. We need to hurry and find a way to leave this mountain " Hakai said in a serious tone.
" What do you mean? Can you tell me more clearly ? " asked Indra loudly feeling irritated because of the pain he was feeling from his wounds.
"Shhhhhh... Don't be loud..or she will hear us..." Hakai said in low and concerning tone.
"F..O..U..N...D... Y....O..U " a sharp feminine voice echoed in the mountain.
"Idiot RUN!!" Hakai screamed at Indra.
"No need to run dear...I am here for you...Now come..come to me....No more running " the feminine voice urged in a playful tone as if teasing Hakai and Indra .
Indra felt a strong eerie presence and understood why Hakai told him to run. He began running behind Hakai but...it...was too late... a tall woman stood before them. Her presence made Indra nervous and in that cold environment he started sweating.
The women wore a full frock wedding gown. It was black.. transparent around the sleeves..she wore a transparent black veil over her head which hid her eyes. She had dark bright red lips..her eyelids were light red ...she had long beautiful black hairs..and she wore sparkling red conical earrings...looking at her one could think of her as a reincarnation of a Goddess giving presence of a Demon.
" So young ...you both are soyoung..." she said in a seductive way looking into Indra's eyes.
Indra began to feel nauseatic , his vision became blurr and he felt soft hands touching his body..lips touching his neck...he was loosing consciousness...
"WAKE UP IDIOT!!" Shouted Hakai and hit Indra's head with his sword's bottom part.
Suddenly the illusion shattered and Indra saw Hakai pulling him by his hand and running away from the mysterious woman.
"Be.. careful . Don't be... fooled by her.. that easily." said Hakai taking long breaths.
" What a cute couple? Aren't you.." said the lady laughing loudly.
"I can run by myself ." Indra said feeling a little embarassed.
" Huhh..Who even wants to pull you?..if you were not so brain dead .." said Hakai in an annoyed tone leaving Indra's hand, he too trying to hide his embarassment.
Hakai ran towards the women , took a deep breath and calmly muttered ,
" SVEN SWORDS GAME "
Hakai's seven clones emerged from thin air which surrounded her and tried to attack her...but..in an instant they were completely nullified by her...then she looked around for the real one but she couldn't find Hakai nor Indra...'the clones were a diversion!'..to buy time...they were successful in running away.
Both of them were taking deep breaths sitting behind a huge rock..they were sweating profusely..their heart beating like crazy .
"Who is she?" asked Indra still taking deep breaths.
"She serves the King.. and is the Third Chapter in the King's Book ' The Hidden Queen' , Her name is Amora. " said Hakai in nervousness.
" Why are we running then?...We must defeat her..." said Indra showing determination in his eyes.
" Idiot...we cannot defeat her now. You yourself have seen...she is in a different league...besides you already seem wounded badly...and I am not in any different condition...if we fight her now..we will not see tomorrow's morning." said Hakai in frustration.
" Hmmm...I cannot argue any further..." sighed Indra rubbing snow on his wounds.
"If you knew about her..why did you come here..?" asked Indra.
" I will tell you in detail...if we survive..for now let us find a safer place first." replied Indra standing up from his place and getting ready to leave.
But.. suddenly the rock behind them shattered into pieces..she was there...Amora was there in front of them...
"Tsk" muttered Hakai pointing his sword towards Amora.
"I will assist you" said Indra loudly..
"Yeah...but try not to die..We need to survive this till night no matter what..." said Hakai , carefully taking an attacking stance.
"Till night?.. I would like to ask you many questions but for now I will follow you..." said Indra showing trust in Hakai.
Indra ran towards Amora...while Hakai waited for the right time to strike maintaining his stance, Hakai was surprised by Indra's speed, it was hard to follow Indra's movements as Indra kept on increasing his speed running around Amora trying to find an opening and as soon as he thought he found one from behind...Amora disappear in thin air...Indra stopped in confusion and he received a heavy blow in his guts which was enough to throw him a few metres away in the air...
Indra collided with a tree receiving heavy injuries...He found it difficult to stand again....Now Amora flew towards Hakai...and ..Hakai immediately slashed her hands with his sword...but again...nothing happen ...her hands felt as hard as a diamond... she grabbed Hakai's shoulder and pierced his chest with her fingers...
