" Get ready everyone!! I am going to burst the bubble now. " Nakash declared and with a
snap of his little finger the transparent sphere dissolved just like that.
Soham immediately sprang into action as he jumped down the terrace and dashed to the edge of the magic dome. He extended his palm outside the magic dome as instructed by Nakash. The incoming spell that was meant to hit the dome landed right into his palm and dissolved. He quickly retracted his palm and stepped back. He was spellbound to find himself still in one piece and even more that he didn't feel a thing.
Everything happened in a blink of an eye.
Neither side was able to detect as to what exactly happened.
Neither except Nakash...
In the terrace, seeing his magic work perfectly without causing any harm, Nakash released his breath he was holding.
Not only Soham, Nani and Kaya were spellbound as well. The level of potential required to pull off such a complicated magic was heaven-defying and none but two kids under the age of seven were able pull it off was something incomparable.
Nakash signaled Nitiya to bring back Soham.
Because Nitiya used teleport to bring back Soham, he failed to notice his surroundings and thus, making a narrow escape.
Surbhi after seeing her husband return safely did she heaved a sign of relief. Now it was time to fulfill her part of the plan. She kissed the children good luck and strictly warned them to be careful. Only after the kids promised and Saaransh gave her a big bear hug she left the terrace, although reluctantly.
Tears threatened to overflow still she remained strong. She was well aware that her tears will waver her son's confidence hence, she didn't dare shed them before him. It was something she would only shed in the depths of darkness when she secluded herself from the world around.
It was nothing short of a curse where a mother had to abandon her child in the middle of the war field in order to keep her child safe.
In order to protect himself, Saaransh had to fight back for which he possessed the special powers.
It was a twisted logic she was forced to accept.
The anguishing pain that Surbhi locked up in her heart was something only Father Abraham was aware off. That's why the elder would always be partial towards her and offen try to engage Saaransh in activities that indirectly created opportunities for them to spend quality time.
Only after she entered Lia's room did she allow her tears to break her barrier.
Surbhi never once complained or blamed anyone for their circumstances, infact she was very respectful towards them because she was well aware that given the choice none would chose this path.
It's just that the more she tried to except everything, the more reality pained her.
" Be strong Surbhi!!! Saaransh is doing this for you, my dear. " Father reminded.
" I know Father, that's why it hurts even more. " Surbhi said looking out of the window where the magic dome was steadily recovering.
Meanwhile....
Outside the gates of the mansion, Nitiya teleported everyone to the same edge of the magic dome that Soham previously used.
Oblivious to the danger that lurked in the corners, Saaransh and Nakash began to mend the dome as planned.
A little away from them, Nitiya, Nani, Soham and Kaya were on stand by.
By gently touching the magic layer of the dome, Nakash and Saaransh began repairing it by releasing the magic collected by Soham. Waves and waves of magical energy sipped across the layers and into the core of the dome rapidly filling up the cracks.
For the time being, everything was going according to plan because of which everyone was too overjoyed. However, they celebrate a little too soon.
Several pairs of red eyes leered them ferociously until Nakash finally realised they had company.
Discovered, the shadow creatures leapt out on them.
" Brother Saaransh watch out!!! " Nakash yelled removing Saaransh out of the way at the nick of time making another narrow escape.
His sudden cry alerted the others even though it was too late. They were totally surrounded.
" Wow!! What are they?? " Saaransh exclaimed after recovering from the shock.
" Better question Saaransh!!! How did they get in here??? " Kaya countered as she, Soham and Nani sheilded the kids.
" They are basilisk, they absorbed considerable amount of the dome's remaining powers and sipped in through the cracks. " Nakash replied after a quick time check.
" Well then what do we do now?? The dome isn't repaired yet. " Soham said keeping track of the snake's movements.
BOOMMM!!
Another spell hit the magic dome with a huge explosion right that instant.
Indeed!! Because of the attack the mending process was abruptly halted hence, the dome wasn't able to function as per the plan and came crumbling down after that.
" All of you scatter around the mansion. " Nakash ordered.
Understanding Nakash's plan Nitiya teleported everyone all across the mansion grounds leaving behind Nakash to deal with the snakes.
The overview of the mansion from every angle was the same.
With the barrier now gone, waves of shadow gushed into the mansion grounds like tsunami.
