Chapter 23 - Channy

Channy's arrival wasn't really met with the same enthusiasm as Dorn's, some clearly having heard the realm he was from and stories about him began to be filled with jealousy and spite, a good example is none other than Chanor Royals, apparently his family the Royal's have always been at the Kasha's spaces since a repeated failed attempt to court them, they always had something to compete about and the Kashas never turned down a competition though lately it was starting to vex them since it happened in every generation ,Kasha's banned all relationships and ties with them family wise forbidding their children from falling in love with the Royals, though the lost in all competitions the Royal's still would challenge the Kasha's, this happened recently in a bet where the Kasha's duped the entire Royal's family in a bet, the bet was that if Kashas or the Royals would be able to retrieve the heart of the sultan of the gernah the failing party would give a certain sum of money, certain portions of their kingdom and finally''their heir''( the last part that suggested by none other than the Royals whose sons were madly in love with the Kasha children). This bet was brought by the Royals so that they would try to regain their lost honor and prove that Arna was an inferior realm (and also to get the Kasha children for none was as beautiful or perfect as they ) Both Parties chose their representatives Channy on the Kasha's side and Athan on the Royal's side and the task was set for the night of life, a festivity when all the portals of each realm would be opened to allow loved ones to see each other. Channy knowing what the sultan's weakness is changed his appearance to look as beautiful as possible wearing silver adornments and the perfume of midnight ,slowly and carefully entering the gernah realm not to be noticed and going taking his position at the fountain in the gernah sultans garden knowing that he would always go for his walk every night unsupervised and when the sultan was walking he laid his eyes on Channy and he was blinded, struck by awe, he had never seen some as beautiful as him, Channy stood so that the sultan may see him with the light of full with the moon behind him, the sultan went straight in action to woo him, as he was wooing Channy, Athan had just arrived in the realm with an army behind him to forcibly take the heart from the sultan, Channy with every single step planned was now in the throne room seated on the sultan's throne as the sultan kept flirting with him vehemently. Channy knew that the sultan's heart was capable to make anyone fall in love with him with just one glance had turned away and he was waiting for the sultan to take it out and to his plan to a new height and that's exactly what the sultan did, not knowing what was waiting for him right around the corner Athan came into the throne room, Athan who foolishly entered without guarding his eyes entered and gazed at the heart and then at Channy who was seated at the throne who was at the moment looking away not to fall into the hearts power, Athan who hadn't locked eyes with anyone else went swiftly swopped and snatched the heart from the sultans hand he then kept it in his pouch just for him to be me by Channy's eyes , he was blown away and was stricken to the soul by Channy's beauty and fell instantly in love , the sultan who had knelt with his face looking down not to be snared in his own spell noticed that the heart was snatched from his hand he quickly but cautiously turned to see who was it when he noticed that the heart was put away and it was Athan he went into fight mode to get his heart back, Channy seeing that his plan had gone as planned made his escape and went to Arna knowing that he is going to win , the next day, thirty minutes before the deadline the Kashas and Royals met to determine the winner , The Kashas knowing and studied the full power of the heart washed their eyes with water from the fountain of Ea (God) but as for the proud but foolish Royals the didn't take any precautions .Chanor who was part of the group left shortly to attend natures call when Athan full of pride took out the heart and as expected the royals (Chanor excluded) were now fully in love with the kashas and Athan out of his double love for Channy gave Channy the heart just as the appointed time reached making The Kashas the winners ,the property that was betted was gifted to Channy , Ella Kasha Channy's younger second sister was married of to Laus Royals ,Chanor's elder brother and heir to the throne who was secretly in a relationship with Ella already hence the Kashas dominated the Royals once more and affirmed their position over them.
