A father's love
Maldus gazes intently at the sparkling red TIGER EYE CHAKRA before him in awe. Bewitched by it's red luminosity, he rubs it absentmindedly. It emits red sparks and shakes violently and he watched on dolefully. The CHAKRA priests had just left the palace and they brought bad news. He was sad and he could not conceal it, the CHAKRA priests said he would be returning the CHAKRA to the werewolf nation in few months. The chakra was about to be taken away from him when he had just begun to fall in love with it.
He never knew the value of the gem until few months back when he waged war against the trolls to enlarge his coast and subdue them. He was hit by the ancient arrow of Homes which caused a great wound at his thorax region. He bled badly and his mage spells and potions combined with his wife's could not heal the wound or stop it's bleeding.
His body was laid in the CHAKRA chamber before the Chakra itself as that was the practice for Kings during their last moments or dead Kings before their burial rites. Immediately he was laid down, the Chakra stone shone it's red luminosity in his unconscious body and the bleeding seized followed by the continuous and spontaneous knitting of his flesh until only a tiny scar was left.
His only daughter's life was also tied to the chakra, during her convulsive fits she would stretch, shiver and clench her teeth together until she was given the water dripping from the CHAKRA to drink. Only then will she be calm and sleep peacefully
He would keep the Chakra because of his daughter, he would wage war against the other nations and the Chakra priests if they dared to stop him. For if his daughter dies, he is as good as dead too.
"Why don't we keep it?" His wife, Laui asked as she broke through his thoughts.
Startled, he spun around immediately to face her
"Keep what?" he asked feigning ignorance.
"You have forgotten so soon, dear husband. That I read minds too"
"Oh, yes. I plan to keep the gem for the sake of our daughter. I'll wage war against the 3 nations if they dare hinder me."
She moved towards him and rubbed his bald head with her long black fingernails.
"We can't wage war against the three nations and the Chakra priests my dear husband. It is impossible" She said
He heaved heavily and gazed at the Chakra again. His wife was right, he wouldn't dare wage war against the three nations.
"What should I do then? Do you have any idea my lady?" He asked staring at her.
"According to the book of rules, which ever nation possessing the CHAKRA when the eclipse occurs has to keep it forever." She stated staring into space
"Well, the werewolf nation would be in possession of it by then. The eclipse is in six months and the chakra priests will come for it in three months time"
"We have to use the divisive spell on them" she said looking him in the eye
"How does the divisive spell help matters in this case? Besides..."
She cut him off with a hard stare
"The divisive spell will cause war and confusion between the 3 nations till the eclipse occurs. Then we keep it forever." She added grinning wickedly.
"The divisive spell isn't easy to break my lady. I know you don't want to lose Tara, I don't want to lose her too. But this is..."
"Join me dear husband or watch me do it"
She walked to the center of the chamber, closed her eyes and raised her hands upwards humming strange words like one in a trance.
On seeing this, Maldus joined in and together they chorused:
"Azris benteios guloshon
In the three nations cause confusion
War, malice, bloodshed and division"
With the speed of light, a wild whirlwind appears in the chamber with thunder and lightning and the whole CHAKRA chamber shakes violently.
The whirlwind disappeared as fast as it came and the chamber grew silent as a graveyard, only the heavy breathing of Maldus and Laui could be heard.
