The emperor abruptly stopped his story midway. he suddenly broke his sequence asking Elora how she had liked the story so far. She felt a sudden discomfort at the uncalled question, there was nothing wrong with the question, but the crown's face seemed rather ominous.
just before she could grasp the situation a sudden flash of light took over and followed by a short duration of blindness her mind was panicked .she felt desperate to see something, to feel as the situation had left her body numb. she slowly regained her sight looking left and right frantically expecting to catch a glimpse of Oasis, only for her to see him in chains disappearing into dark water beneath. she heard a shrill cry realizing it as her own. she was pouring her everything as she screamed his name, trying to reach forward to catch him as she realized how restrained her motion had become.
she saw the shackles weightless yet constricting. she was frantic as she tried to use her magic she felt a shock run through her body as her magic failed her Oasis has disappeared right before her eyes in the matter of a few seconds. her mind ran frantically and suddenly went blank as she saw blood dripping from her hands. it was weird she stared at the numerous cuts on her fingers and palms. Why only her hands? she couldn't understand but then she saw it ,the glowing yet invisible chain as it vanished.
she felt it her magic, her own yet not hers. she didn't know if those were tears or blood dripping from her eyes when, she saw Oasis behind a thin glass like portal. she knew she could free him but that was only possible if she herself was free. the majestic and empty throne room echoed of a mad laughter as the crown proclaimed with honey dripped eyes ''Do not worry my beloved ,my love for you is very great. Ellora my love, from today you are the highest woman of authority in this vast and never-ending empire''.
