Chapter 186 - Wake up!

Maya doesn't know whether it was her survival thought for her own safety or protective thought on Kalki. She doesn't hesitate a bit before looking ahead the people approaching with her murder intent eyes.

It felt like her body was taken over by some demon and she is ready to kill anyone now in a heartbeat. 

Before the men could even step in her vicinity her arrows shot through the smoke accurately hitting three men's chest.

Even their armours couldn't protect their hearts from pierced open by a single arrow!

It was not just injuring them like before as she left the men on the fort. It is now purposefully fatal. Not even thinking of leaving any of them alive.

THUD!

THUD!

THUD!

That's too slow because her arrows hit few seconds before and the men fell on the ground just now.

Maya takes a step back and stands firmly in her stand so that she could take many men with every single shot.

The soldiers stands stunned seeing their men fell suddenly dead in front of them and gasps in horror. Who can it be other than the trappen man inside the chamber?!

"Is he still conscious?!"

"No way! He must be almost dead by now!"

"Didn't we hear his weakness is fire?! He avoids fire like hell!"

"Yes yes! I know very well! He fears fire like death!"

Maya's eyes turns hard with rage as if she realized something. 

'He can't handle the fire like I can't handle the cold!'.

She glances at Kalki's pale face for a short moment and gasps seeing his ghostly face "Is he dying?!".

She grits her teeth and glares at the men ahead of her in the dead eye. Without even thinking she steps ahead shooting the arrows ruthlessly in the men's chests crushing their hearts mercilessly!

Their bad! She is not even in her control at this moment!

She knows that this is dangerous but she still walks ahead fearlessly driven by some unknown force in her. Something in her was awakened after seeing Kalki dying!

She only stopped when her hand met the empty archive. Which means the arrows in her archive was over. She throws the bow frustrated and looks around for some weapons.

She glances a sword and a spear. A sword was nearer than the spear.

Some voice echoed in her head faintly making her whole body freeze.

"Promise me, dear. You won't touch a sword in future. Promise me you won't ever lift a sword and walk in that dangerous path!".

Maya blinks her burning eyes and feels her cheeks drenched by her own tears. She can't tell whether it was due to smoke or his father's words from the past.

She hears herself repeating those same words like she spoken when she was too young "I won't, father...I won't..ever..".

Only thing differed was that she has grown up now. Her little self hugged her father that day and cried as if there was no end. That day after getting a severe sword injury, her father demanded this promise! She was fatally injured that time and literally bawling while promising him. Since that day she avoided swords like nightmares! She can never lift a sword!

Before she could come out of her thoughts and emotions, someone pushes her hard to the ground making her roll few feet away heavily. Her unstable fight between her thoughts and emotions made the men to have upper hand for this moment. 

Argh!

She grunts feeling dizzy. She might have hit her head hard too.

When she manages to get hold of herself, she is now facing a pair of murderous eyes. She knows they would kill her if she doesn't move now!

She is about to grab the spear but the man kicks that aside from her vicinity.

She is too late. She looks at him lifting his sword to stab her but she is not ready to get hurt with that sword! That's too frightening! But grabbing a sword will lead to break the promise that she made to her father! And she feared swords too. She can admire them from far but lifting it would need her another life time.

Before she knows, the man is already half way in attacking her.

"HOW DARE THEY?!"

A blood freezing roar from behind her made her to startle and even made the man to stop attacking her.

She sees the man in front of her fell on the ground dead in next moment. She gets stunned as her mind knows whose voice was that and whose attack was that!

"Marcus!"

His eyes flashed surprise and confusion when he looked at Maya in the chamber. Sensing the situation without asking much he only nods at her assuring.

He runs towards her and makes her sit hurriedly. He checks around them in alert and asks not even looking at her "Are you alright?"

She nods shivering slightly "Yes..".

He speaks glaring at the chamber door as if sensing some upcoming danger "Leave this place at once, Your Highness! This roof is going to fall apart soon! Hurry!".

Maya gulps looking at the chamber door "They are more-".

He assures before she could even complete "Don't worry about this. It's our duty to protect you two! Leave at once!".

She looks at him standing up and walking away. She knows he is going to fight for their safety. Even though it felt weird seeing men fighting for her. She couldn't help but worry even though he is a warrior in the first place.

But her head whipped to Kalki's side "No ...he might die-".

STAB!

SLASH!

THUD!

She looks back at Marcus flabbergasted as many men emerged from outside were instantly dying in his hands without much effort. He is definitely making it hard for them to reach Kalki.

She can see their real strength by now. As Marcus alone killed four men in a single slash of his sword.

She stands up in relief. Stumbling and struggling she walks towards Kalki. She kneals beside him and about touch him but hesitates...only for few seconds.

She sighs and pats his cheek "You...wake up..".
