Shriya was half-conscious transient to the northward direction. All she humped was not just the zapped corpse but the tons of evocations more appropriately; nightmares that echoed in her head time and again that evinced by the red tints of gory overflown from her navel region and blob travelling from the corner of her eyes to the other substantial droplets down in the moana. She could no more put any stress in her eyes so alleviated them .The gleaming sun slowly blurred and finally went out of sight in few seconds.

"Her highness is alive!!!"A maid exclaimed in surprise seeing her moving her fingers slightly .

"Your Highness. Wake up". The maid called upon her shaking her slightly trying to wake her up.

Hearing the vibration Shriya slowly opened her eyes.

"Thanks to the almighty and the heavenly powers. You woke up!!How are you feeling now. You have been in bed for long. You must be numb. Please drink this."

"For long??"Shriya asked with cracking voice.

"Yeah!!It has been 10 years already!!"

"10 years??"

"Yes your highness !! I will give the good news to the palace." Saying this the maid went out of sight with teary eyes.

"Where am I??Who are these people??I can't figure out anything." She said to herself worriedly.

Shriya tried to move but could fee her numb body and an immense pain in her navel region.

She thought twice and decided to drink the potion. As she drank it she could feel the potion reaching every portion of her body giving her instant relief.

Her eyes went to the frames hanging in the walls.

She woke up and approached the frame.

That was probably the royal family.

As she touched it a crate appeared beneath the frame which came off with a glimmering diary with silver sculpts with the date written in the topmost corner .

"1620 B.C."

She picked it up and turned the 1st page.

Some golden glint arose from the diary forming few creases.

 "Welcome to my life Shriya"

"She knew I would be here??"She exclaimed in shock.

She turned the next page curiously to see what it actually had.

There was a photo of a boy. Beautiful and engrossing eyes. The glowing face analogous to the radiance of full moon and an immense charm that was capable of making someone loose their alertness the next moment of having his glimpse by his beauty.

Something was written below the silhouette.

"He is the highlighted chapter of my prosopography. "

Few footsteps were heard converging the chamber. Shriya enshroud the diary below the bolster and laid in the bed hurriedly.

"Shri!!"He approached near.

"It has been so long I met you like this since 10 years I would just keep talking and never get answer from you. I was so worried. How are you feeling…"

Saying this he was going to nudge her cheeks softly but she flinched.

"Why are you scared? Fine I will not touch you without your consent. Just be comfortable. Come out fast whole palace is waiting for you."

Saying this he went outside sending two maids inside to get her ready.

They rapped her in a maroon drape of cloth very properly as if measuring every centimeters until it fitted exactly not even leaving one inch apart. They started adding elegant jewels made of precious gems and did her further makeover.

It was when she saw herself in mirror or say her new look a new persona.

"Beautiful!!!"The word left her mouth in admiration of the one she just viewed in mirror.

"Your highness you look angelic. We are out of words to describe your beauty."

They took her out where all the villagers were already there for her welcome with her parents.

Everyone started gossiping about elegance she carried with herself.

"We have kept an event for our reconciliation in today's very special festival of colors. I hope everyone enjoys today's day and it would be memorable. "The royal king announced.

Everyone capped in approval and the celebration started.

Everyone started putting the colors to each other. Shriya also put it to others. It was really fun. The guy came in front of Shriya with colors and asked, "May I??

Shriya nodded in agreement with a soft smile.

Everyone danced in enjoyment. The colors spread all over the sky mixed with laughter of people.

The sun went down and everyone greeting the royal family went back to their home.

Shriya went back to her chamber and remembered today's day in joy.

"It was indeed the best day of my life. Life??I never got to know what life was and yesterday it was really hard for me. My most special and believed person stabbed me to death."

A pairs of tears escaped her eyes.

She soon felt asleep.

"Shri!!"Someone whispered in her ear.

She flinched coming out of her blank sleep.

"Come with me."

"But…"

"Shh!!Someone might wakeup."

He held her hand and took her to the nearby forest.

The forest was really extraordinary, the flowers were gleaming probably reflecting the immense gleam of moonlight. Butterflies were hovering over the flowers as if they were dancing in joy enjoying the moment with their partners.

A butterfly came and sat on the right palm of Shriya.

"Miraculous."

"Right??"

"But why did you bring me here in midnight?".

"Because we all gathered here and we didn't want you to miss it out."

A group of youths came in front of her.

"Today is the day. In this same forest that elegant flower blooms today. Let's go and witness this moment together."

Everyone looked at Shriya for confirmation. As she nodded everyone jumped in excitement and moved to the direction where the flower was located.

"Thankyou for the permission your highness." The guy said.

A deride escaped her mouth in disbelief seeing the person thanking for the permission who just brought her to the forest without her consent.

They went to the place.

Suddenly it started raining.

Everyone started playing around in joy.

And Shriya also went out of sight.

The guy; Avi looked around for her when;

Two trotters were jumping in joy in damp with the droplets of water travelling through her neckline to the tip of her toe wandering her body that mixed with the other drops reaching the earth.

Some strands of the untied hair were witnessing the softness of her lips hiding some part of her face but her immense beauty was directly reflected that travelled miles forward.

Avi smirked.

He could not take his eyes off her.

It was when their eyes met .The two greenish pieces of pearl drowned deep in those cumbersome ocean.

Second turned into minutes and minutes into hours but they couldn't take their eyes off. It looked like the reconciliation of two universe of two different dimension.

Avi broke the silence and said, "It's time for the flower to bloom. Wanna miss it??"He said with a soft beam.

Shriya gave back a smile and they went to that direction.

"May I ask something??"

"Sure. Why are you being so formal!!You never used to!!"

"Why is this flower so special??"

"This flower is believed to be the reason of existence of universe. Don't you remember it??"

"Not clearly but how do you know so much about it all??Who are you??"

"Don't you know me??Strange!!You have just recovered .No worries you will find your answer soon .We have reached here now. Enjoy the moment."

The flower bloomed the next moment. It looked magical. Everyone was completely engrossed in the moment. It was when Shriya saw a sign gleaming near the pedicle of the flower.

A familiar sign. A sign she has seen. Recently!!!"

Her eyes went wide as she remembered she saw it in Avi's clavicle region.

"He is indeed someone really mysterious. Who is he??Who is the girl I got into the body of??Why is he the highlighted chapter in her life??Is it love? Hatred or Something else??Shriya thought looking at Avi who was closing his eyes and into the moment so much as if it was the reconciliation of him with his life.

But Shriya was somehow lost in him between those traces of beauty in his face that slight smile that was forever plastered in his face."But feels like he is someone I know closely since centuries."

She couldn't even feel him already looking at her.

"Am I looking prettier today??"

Shriya rolled her eyes in disbelief and Avi laughed looking at her cute reaction.

"Now friends it's time for the dance!!"

"Dance??"

"Yeah! Don't you remember it's the veneration we will have to please the almighty on this auspicious day!!"

Everyone started dancing elegantly making a circle as she used to witness in various classical events.

But Shriya didn't know to dance that way. It was not that she wasn't interested but was because she never got the opportunity.

Flashback:

"Shriya!!Where is this brat!!"

"Maybe again in front of father's frame being a cry baby." Her step-sister said rolling her eyes,

Her stepmother moved here and there whining searching for her.

Shriya was in her room with her windows open in front of her late father's frame. The cool breeze hit her face letting down the tears she was holding.

"Father!!Why did you go??I feel so left out. I wanted to learn the classical dance which mommy was great at. I neither get to study nor to do anything of my interest. But there is this one person who understands me. A hope has raised for life papa!!"

"Now you are into boys ,already!!Focus on household. This brat is spoiling herself day by day. To the kitchen."

"But…I have…"

"To.. The kitchen" She said with scaring eyes of rage.

"And also you will not go to the class again!!"She went out with the warning.

"Aunt!!"

"Aryan!!Come child sit down. Shriya bring some snacks for Aryan!!"

Shriya nodded with the smile as it was the boy she was mentioning about. He was the friend of her step sister but different from her probably. Kinda sweet which was really new and beautiful thing for her.

"Thanks aunt but I want to talk with Shriya. Can I take her!!"

"Ye…ah Sure. But what work do you have with this dumbass."

Shriya went with him.

As they reached the cliff where she used to met him to share her sorrowful days to him, her interest to live and interestedly or maybe forcefully used to listen to her.

"Shriya!!Today I have a present for you and wanna tell you something."

"Me too Aryan. I wanna live!!I wanna fly.I wanna go to infinity but can't I can't figure out why!!"

"I can help you." Saying this he stabbed her in her stomach!!"Shriya couldn't believe that the one she trusted the most did this to her .

Her step mother and step sister also came laughing.

"Finally!!Now we can get her property. We got rid of this headache."

The betrayal was so harsh for her that it was not even blurred a little by the tears she was holding.

She had nothing to complain or maybe no one to complain. She feel of the cliff with a splash in the ocean and then floated to the northward direction and now she is here!!

Tear escaped her eyes remembering her last day as her.

"Why crying in such a moment. Come!!"

Saying this Avi wiped her tears and took her in the middle of the circle.

He held her palm and maintained a posture of her finger. He extended her arms and twirled her around. Wanna dance right!!Dance!!Follow me !!"

Shriya also did so and felt really good as if one of her immense desire fulfilled by a person she recently met. He actually understood her well. It felt good. Indeed satisfactory.

After few hours everyone went back to their homes.

"Thankyou!!"Before parting Shriya said to Avi.

"I can sense a new you!!But loved the way you are!!"He said patting her head.

She felt happy for the first time as he was the first person to admire her but she could not believe his every statement  as she was already victimized before. But the sensation felt calming. She gave a smile and left to the palace.

She got in her bed and it was the first time she felt happiness. A purely new feeling which felt great. It was a night without tears.

She was about to feel asleep but she could see the bright beam coming out of the diary.

She took it out and started reading.

"We are the clans for the protection of that magical flower; Lilac. Our ancestors have lost their life in past in the process of protection of it from enemies. My grandfather whom I spent my maximum time with used to tell me the stories of our protector; and the magical flower. This one is my favorite.

Centuries back when everything was going on well, There was a devil who had killed several lives and destroyed the kingdoms in the will of ruling over the world. He was really strong and it was believed that he was immortal.

None dared to speak against him but our former queen did. She spoke against his action and fought with him bravely. But in front of him who was a great physical and magical strength she ought to loose her life.

Then came the lord. He tricked and kept him inside a box and said the queen, "Don't worry I have kept him in this sacred box. He wont be able to do anything but after centuries a time will come when he will live again. So a part of me will be here as this flower which will turn into an undefeatable weapon by the touch of one ruler your generation and then there will be the defeat of him.

I really hope he will never be alive again.

"Who is this devil??when will he be alive??And… where is he kept now??"
