Nakir's patient level dropped every seconds. He could not take it any longer. He could not pass his frustration on anyone or anything. He would have smashed his fist on a rock but he remembered that it is nadin's body.
"What is the problem?" He thought.
Nakir hoped the strength he felt in his muscles when he was dealing with sirocco would be enough to send his spirit back in his body but it didn't.
Nothing worked.
"Something is missen in my body". He thought.
"Perhaps sirocco took something. He muttered.
He studied his body for a long time.
And finally... He noticed his fangs were not there.
"My fangs... sirocco took it.
That's what is preventing me from going back into my body". He said to himself.
Sirocco played his cards right. He made sure I will come get him. He took something that is very valuable to me and perhaps he had thought my spirit will vanish with time,so he can steal the treasure.
Dangerous and desperate minds devise such plans.
Nakir has no knowledge of the dark object.
"What if I enter and never come out". He muttered.
"This is bad".
He paced back and forth.
"If I bring sirocco out now,they will be more trouble and if I delay any further I may disappear forever".
"Oh heavens! I need to bring that wretch out".
Nadin's improvement was extraordinary,it was amazing . He looked into a mirror and noticed how graciously beautiful and charming Nadin's body looked. He couldn't believe his eyes.
Nadin's body was amazing. He would be very grateful when he sees his body. Nakir thought.

Tyler approached the treasure house,he was dressed like hills officials.
Nakir could not recognize that he was a foreigner and infact from segund.
Nakir had less concern for the things that happens in the palace.
So he could not recognize a counterfeit but something was odd about tyler, his tattoo was in the wrong arm.
It is supposed to be on his left arm but tyler had is own on his right arm.
Something is fishy about him. Nakir suspected.
"Great protector". Tyler said as he walked inside the cave. The queen has sent for you.
He said to nakir.
"Why so?"
"Forgive me,I do not know why she has sent for you".
"Oh,is that so...
"Yes,it is so".
Nakir was damned uncertain about tyler's words. Then his mind went straight to the recent incident with kensia. Perhaps the curse has come upon her... His heart raced a million times.
Alot is happening at the same time,so much that he could not handle in nadin's body,the strength he felt earlier on just vanished into thin air like ashes blown away and nothing left.
He really felt guilty. But why so?
I didn't bring this misfortune upon her.
She could not control her anger and that's what brought a curse on her.
"All this things happening in my time". He said beneath his breath not loud enough for tyler to hear.
Tyler stood there and watched him.
"Is this really the protector". He thought. "No, definitely not.This young man.
He wanted to laugh out loud but he controlled himself. Perhaps this is not the protector...
He wanted to ask him but what if, just what if this is the protector. My body will be in pieces.surely dismembered.
Nakir did not trust tyler at all but he could not jeopardize the queen's life and forsake his friend.
He walked out without saying anything.
He pretended as if he was going straight to the palace. Nakir hid in a corner to watch what tyler will do.
The treasure will surely tempt him to take it...I feel he is a thief. Nakir thought.

Tyler waited for a while before he took the magic painting that trapped sirocco.
The magical painting was lying on the floor next to the steps leading to the treasure.
He came out of the cave.
Liam's voice echoed in his ears. He could hear it loud and clear.
"You must run tyler,I cannot afford to lose you. Run—run tyler.
He didn't bother checking if the coast is clear or not. He took to his heels like a cheetah. Tyler ran mad fast.
The painting is portable and not very heavy. One man could carry it.
Nakir laughed hysterically.
"What an idiot ".
He must be from segund. Nakir's mind pricked him about tyler as soon as he set his eyes on him and even his tattoo was completely off.
He would have pursue him and shred him into pieces but it seems like he knew something about the magic painting.
Nakir walked back to the cave and cast a boundary spell in the entrance.
He followed tyler.
He could definitely out run him no doubt,but he followed him quietly like a sheep after his shepherd.
