Kavi's POV
"The history what you were taught was wrong. The real war happened between Chandran, the Moon God and Layla, the Goddess of Darkness and it is you who was born as Kavithanjali now!"
He said with a distanced look. I started laughing hard ignoring the amused look of Maayan and annoyed look of Akhilan.
"I understand we might be married which would make me your wife, but Goddess... me... really? Stop joking around. Then how Goddess of darkness, who is a threat for Moon was born under the species he created?"
I asked him in between my fits of laughter.
"That's called Destiny, Cupcake!"
He replied calmly in adoring tone. I stopped laughing and looked at him. Was he serious?
"How is it possible? If she was Goddess of darkness, why her powers were taken away from her and how could she regain them."
Akhilan asked Maayan.
"It was a big story. And her powers were cursed upon me. But I can't use them. I am just a medium to hold her powers and guard it until she gets back to me. We need to go to the place where it all happened to find a way to transfer the powers back to you. But that place might not be left unguarded that too after my release. So we need to be careful even though you are a good fighter. And we need help from our people."
He paused and walked near me. I couldn't properly think about what he said. I curled my toes as his scent was making my senses go insane. He smirked knowing his effect on me and looked at Akhilan with the same smirk.
"I can't risk my mate's life. Don't drag her into danger!"
Akhilan and his wolf growled.
"I failed once. But I will not let her die this time. If I didn't give back power to her, that bastard will easily take her life again. He may not enter this realm alone but if Sun decided to join him, then Chandran can break the shield of this realm so easily and that's why she needs her power back."
His aura was so dark. His emotions were so raw. I touched Maayan's shoulder to calm him down. I never knew the feel of touching him would overwhelm me. I could understand that it was because of my last life. Because every nerve ending in my body recognised him. Unlike tingles, this was something different. More magical!
Akhilan's wolf calmed when Maayan mentioned about my death.
"He can't enter this realm now, Cupcake. And this place was lifeless without you. Now you are here, let our realm know you are back. Just get down."
I looked at him strangely. Would something really happen?
"Just think you are coming down in air slowly."
He instructed me and demonstrated me by landing gracefully before the humongous doors of the Castle. I looked at Akhilan and he was already lowering to the sand surface. I took in a deep breath and instructed myself I'm lowering and I came down just like they did. When my bare foot touched the sand of this place, like magic the Castle gained back its shining and the purple grass started coming out below my foot and sprouts came out and turned into trees. The place now smells so good and the row of similar purple tree wants me to go to look at the pond I seen in the vision. I walked that way and found a familiar pond with black lotus and the silver swing near a purple tree. I admired the black and dark purple lotuses in awe as they don't exist in the earth. Akhilan was too looking at the Castle and surrounding in amazement.
So this Goddess thing was true. Why did I fight with Chandran? I should ask Maayan about it. But my mind was distracted when a fully bloomed lotus raised in the air and floated its way towards me.
Was it happening on its own?
I extended my hand to get it and inhaled its divine smell. I blushed at the memory of the vision I had and bit my lips to stop myself from blushing more and raised my eyes at the person responsible for it. His eyes filled in love and he walked to me.
"This pond is our favourite spot and you love these beautiful flowers. And whenever I give these flowers to you, I will be rewarded with..."
Maayan paused trailing off his sentence and looked at me with a naughty smile. I was blushing hard knowing very well what he meant. I even felt my lips tingling just at the thought of kissing him. He ran his tongue over his lower lips so slowly in a teasing manner and smirked at me. Damn him! He knew his effect on me and playing with that. I love the way he was teasing me but couldn't enjoy it fully because my closeness with one person will affect the other one.
"Are these flowers magical? How did it come to me?"
I asked him purposely to divert the topic.
"Sorry! I just forgot your memories weren't with you. You just look the same to me! I am a wizard, the first human born with magic which made me the strongest and powerful wizard in the world. The wizards and witches living in this era weren't aware of what the real magic is. They only knew ten per cent of what I knew. That's how I managed to contact you during your birthday in the dream world."
I looked at him with wide eyes. He is a fucking powerful wizard!
He knew all about me but I don't know anything about him. This is not fair!
"Can you tell me about our past first?"
I asked Maayan curiously.
"I don't want to narrate it now, Cupcake. You will remember it when you get your powers back. We can go there after making the necessary arrangements. I am not perfect but all I want is your trust."
He started with a painful and distanced look making my heart clench but he covered it quickly and smiled at me lovingly.
It was so confusing as I was feeling the same way for both of these males who claiming me theirs. I can't differentiate them. I love Akhilan very much but there is no doubt my heart has the love for Maayan equally.
I looked behind him and found Akhilan leaning on a tree and having a distanced look. He had let his mind open and I saw him worrying about being against Moon God and his wolf was annoyed with Maayan. I sent him the memories of us making out near the Waterfall outside our territory and I heard a loud growl. I smirked happily when he made his way towards me. I caressed the silky petals of the lotus and asked Maayan that I want to go inside the castle. Akhilan's darkened eyes glared at me playfully for arousing him.
We walked back and I looked at the massive gates shining in silver looking very heavy and terrific with the carvings of a big snake spread across each side. The knob-like setting was the head of the big snakes. I extended my hand and caressed its head and the snake moved startling me. It wasn't a real one but seems like the magic in this place made it move. I moved backwards at the unexpected movement. I heard Maayan's manly laughter and he patted my head which I didn't like a bit. I glared at him and looked at the wide-opened door.
"A very few only have the magic in their hands to open it. And you always have that because this place is yours. The right side was covered with water and ice and the left side has volcano and fire pits and the castle in the centre. That's the way you created this realm. And you have set the lighting of this realm closely related to the earth. You have a great attachment to that planet. That's why you set this invisible realm in the void place near the earth."
Maayan stated and walked inside extending his hand to follow him.
