Chapter 244 - Queen Sister

Ch-243

Cyrus snuggled closer to Esther and tried to sleep. But something was not right. His heart… It's hurting. No… Not hurting. It's just… he couldn't say it in words. He felt like his heart was being twisted in sixty-four tricky knots. He felt like it's being squeezed by someone. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead. He felt like he was going to die. Cyrus saw Esther sleeping peacefully. He doesn't want to disturb them as she was tired of their actions earlier. He got up from his position and walked out. Cyrus went to the study and sat on his chair. 

But walking from his bedroom to study was a big thing to him. He clutched his heart as if someone was pricking it with hundreds of small needles making him restless. He crouched down and hugged himself like a ball. Cyrus looked extremely pitifully in that state. What's going on? What exactly happened? 

He groaned in pain. He just got his love and formed a family. Was he going to lose all of it? 

He became stiff and numb to the pain. He felt that blood stopped flowing in his heart. Black dots formed in his head, his back soaked in sweat, his limbs contracted together. Soon, he froze like a doll. There was no moment in his body. His heart stopped beating, his pulse rate went down, stopped breathing. He was turning into a lifeless body as seconds passed. Soon… his eyes closed. His body fell to the ground with a thud. 

The lights flickered in the mansion, the winds blew harshly, the curtains fluttered, the chessboard in Cyrus's study fell from the racks, the chess pieces rolled on the floor. A bolt of lightning struck in the sky. A flicker of lightning made its way into Cyrus's study.  A small flicker went towards the fallen chess pieces. It directly swirled around the fallen queen piece, making it stand tall, proud, and mighty. 

A blue hollow formed in the room. It turned from minute size to seven feet size. It looked like a black hole. Let's say since it's in blue it's a blue hole. Soon a leg of a woman in a blue saree came out. After her leg, her hand appeared, gripping the sides of the blue hallow, which was adorned with gold and pearl bangles giving others the impression that she was a royal and a queen. And in a second she was out. She raised her hands and snapped her fingers which were adorned with turquoise rings making the hollow disappear from the site. She turned around revealing her black beady-like eyes, her coin size nose splint, her moon vermilion in between her brows, her forehead chain, her heavy bangles, combined with her silk blue saree designed with golden threads made her look like an angel. 

She walked forward as her anklet chains made the sounds of 'gul gul gul gul'. Her silver chain anklets were adorned with the blue sapphire looking for simplicity, richness, and elegance. 

She crouched down in front of  Cyrus. "I know this would. Your woman… can kill you and give you life. And now… she killed you. But… I will never let you die," she said in her low yet soft voice but one could sense the dominance and the chilliness in her voice. A faint smile formed on her face as she ran her fingers in his hair. 

She took a pouch that was tucked in her waist. There was a small seed in her hand. It's the same seed that Cyrus used to cultivate two hundred years ago. [Refer ch-82 'BACKLASH'] It's the seed formed by the twelve elemental powers. The same seed was used by Cyrus when he cultivated it to increase his strength. She put that seed on the left side of his chest making it flicker with a green light. 

The seed started glowing intensely, the light green light changed to dark green. Soon… it turned into a hammer… in front of the woman's eyes, it merged in his heart. Cyrus's heart was dried from all the blood, the lock-in his heart sucked all the blood to unlock his blood, but his blood was stuck in his lock, neither unlocked nor locked, making his heart stop. The hammer appeared near the lock, it hammered itself on the lock thrice making it break the shackles. Blood started oozing from it while it started unlocking his heart. His heart was crunched into a small ball but it started swelling into his previous size. 

The moment the last drop of blood drained from the lock, the lock combined with the hammer and turned into fine dust particles and mixed with his blood. It coursed through all over his body and veins making his veins bulge out making their presence obvious. The woman took a step back and maintained a three feet distance as if she knew something would happen.

The moment the woman took a step back, his body raised in the air making his body jerk. A wave of energy released from his body made his room into a mess. The bookshelf fell, scattering all books to the ground, and the vases smashed into pieces when they contacted the ground. The potted plants fell, spilling the soil. The field flew away in the air making the room a literal mess and the water jug fell making the crackling sound wetting the ground. The mansion went dark, all the bright lights turned off. 

His body glowed with the green light. His head started glowing with golden light after a few seconds, soon… his body started glowing in gold. The swirls of golden light started rotating around him making him look like a shining sun… the whole mansion lit with the light emitted from his body making it look different from the whole community. 

After a few seconds, the light absorbed into his body, he fell onto the messy ground as the pieces of broken vases and glass pieces pierced into his body as the blood oozed out from his rippled skin. 

He slowly opened his eyes and saw a woman… "Sodhari? [Sister?]" he mumbled before closing his eyes.
