The trio was surprised and shocked by the sudden declaration of Taika.
After sometime Maira asked "Why Master?"
"It's time dear", Taika stated.
"Is there any danger coming up master?" Raji asked worriedly..
"There is danger everywhere, Raji. Don't worry about the future, just fulfil your duties in the present", Taika stated.
"Okay master we will do as you say", Raghu said.
"By the next full moon day you will reach there. So prepare yourselves for your journey", Taika said.
"Okay master," Trio replied.
"Just remember Maira, never misuse your powers for your own selfish thoughts, use those powers for others' well being", Taika informed maira.
"I'll remember master", Maira replied politely.
"Good. I know you child", Taika said with gentleness in his eyes.
"We will take our leave master", Raghu added.
Taika nodded his head in approval. When the trio reached the door, Taika suddenly said, "Maira.. come here."
Raghu and Raji looked at Maira and nodded their heads. The couple left Maira and Taika alone and left the room.
"Yes, Master?" Maira asked.
"Take this child, this will cure any kind of injuries", Taika handed a bottle to Maira.
"Thank you master", Maira said and took the bottle.
"Master, can I ask you one thing?" Maira asked for which Taika nodded his head in approval.
"Master, is there anything I need to know?" Maira asked.
"Nothing child, you will learn everything on your own in this journey" Taika said.
After some time, Maira slowly nodded her head.
"Dear, be careful on your way", Taika said with gentleness in his eyes.
Maira slowly nodded her head in approval, bid goodbye to her master by taking his blessings for the last time and left the room.
"God, bless her with the strength she needs to face all the circumstances", Taika prayed to God with tears in his eyes.
The three left the place after bidding goodbye to everyone.
At midnight a pleasant music is travelling in the air but this time it is filled with sadness. All the animals are looking at the girl who is silently crying.
After sometime Maira opened her eyes and looked at the animals with so much love in her eyes.
"Don't worry everyone. I will meet you all soon", She said with a smile.
All the animals nodded their heads in approval for her words, "meet you soon."
After spending some time with the babies of her, she reluctantly left the place.
Next day, early in the morning before sunrise, Maira, Raghu and Raji packed their things and left their home on their horses.
Even though it is an enemy kingdom, Maira has a bonding with it. She spent so many years here and she learnt so many things in this land.
'We will meet soon but not as friends. Even though I hope you all help us' she said to herself.
The trio started their journey in disguise.
After one week they successfully left the Rose kingdom and entered a forest which is full of greenery and full of life.
Maira felt at peace after entering into the forest and she feels that she entered into her own place.
At midnight the trio stopped their journey to take some rest and made their own tents to spend the night.
After removing their disguise Raghu and Raji slept but Maira didn't get sleep for some reason so she went out to get some fresh air.
Suddenly the forest lit up with fireflies and all the animals were happy for some reason and their horses also woke up and started moving in a direction where all the animals were moving.
Noticing this, Maira feels that the animals are inviting something which is very dear to them. She thinks that, not only animals but also mother Earth, Nature, everything is happy for it's visit.
She is travelling in the direction where her heart and legs are taking her. She is allowing them to lead the way.
When she reached some open area, she noticed that all the animals were happy and they were celebrating.
Maira also felt very happy and unknowingly she also wants to join them. Like that, she walked towards them and played music with an instrument she carries everywhere. The music is very pleasant and full of happiness. All the animals turned to the direction of music and they were mesmerised by the beauty of the Maira.
Under the moonlight, a girl is coming towards them with her eyes closed and playing pleasant music with an instrument. Her face is glowing under moonlight and her hair is floating in the air whenever a cold breeze flows over her face. She is like an angel coming from heaven and all the animals stared at her with awe.
The music slowly faded and Maira slowly opened her eyes and saw the surroundings. She was surprised that all the animals are looking at her.
She felt nervous because she entered their place without permission and she thought that these animals won't like her. So, she wanted to apologise to them but before she opened her mouth, an eye blinding light came from the sky. She used her hands to shield her eyes from the light and before she registered what happened, she heard the sounds of wings flying in the air and it seems like it is coming towards her. After a few moments, she heard steady footsteps of an animal.
She slowly opened her eyes, adjusting to the light and when she noticed the animal which stood in front of her, she widened her eyes in shock. She stood there like a rock.
After recovering from the shock she clearly observed the creature in front of her and with a shivering and breaking voice she uttered a word, "U.. Uni.. Unicorn!"
