Dmitri and Adrianna spent their time in the bedroom until noon. They actually took a day off from their normal activities and stayed with each other.

Adrianna was lying lazily on his side. They had a great love making session and Dmitri had held her against his chest, no, he had tucked her all night against his body. There was a deep intimacy between them—it reached their souls, which intertwined and held onto each other. When Adrianna woke up that morning, she saw that Dmitri had continued to hold her throughout the night. His warm breath was caressing her cheeks. She looked up at his face and her throat choked. She brought her finger to his forehead and then lightly traced his cheekbones, lips and his square jaw. Her breath stopped as she felt the pain of her deep affection and yearning for him. She was wildly in love with him and as she looked more at him, she could feel her love consuming every part of her body. If someone dared to hurt him again, she would…

​​

Sensing her hand on his chin, Dmitri woke up. With his half open eyes, he brought his hand to her tummy. Stroking it gently, he asked, "How's my baby doing?"

"He is doing great," she answered, still looking at his square jaw.

He stroked her hair so softly and smoothly that Adrianna slept all over again. They had had a wild night and it was only because none of them wanted to stop. He would have continued with making love to her longer but he knew that she was getting tired. And now all he wanted was to give her as much mental and physical rest as possible. Once they stepped out, they would get sucked in day-to-day activities.

Dmitri slept again beside her.

Back in the Land of Gaira, Vikra knew that his end had come. He would never be able to get out of there. He had been living on Earth for so long that it was difficult for him to accept the fact that Adrianna and Isidorus tricked him into entering the spirit world. His hatred unleashed and it became a sword that ripped his current state of being. "I am going to take you with me to Seozia," he roared as he lunged at Isidorus.

Isidorus barked with laughter. "Don't you know the rules of Gaira?" he said as he crouched and appeared behind Vikra.

Vikra turned back to face him. "Adrianna and you tricked me in here. All I ever wanted was to rule the Wizard Kingdom. What was so wrong with that?" he said and made a fresh attack towards Isidorus.

Isidorus wasn't an easy soul to get hold of. He spat at him. "Your greed was what was wrong. When you were the ruler, you became so greedy that you brought the subjects of the kingdom to poverty. And for what? To fill the treasures of your palace? And then you siphoned that money to other realms. You became so selfish in your desires to make more money that you forgot your people. You were rightly banished from the kingdom. The throne rejected you and so your face reduced to becoming a skull." From the corner of his eyes he observed that the portal of Seozia wasn't very far away. He had to push him to that side. There was not much time. Each and every minute in the Land of Gaira was like spending a year on the earth.

Vikra was so blinded by his hatred that all he wanted was to capture Isidorus.

Isidorus glided towards the Seozia portal speedily.

The portal consisted of a small circle of fire that was smoldering. As soon as it sensed spirits coming near it, the circle exploded and more black smoke emitted from it. It was burning like hell.

Isidorus had to take the chance. So he glided swiftly in front of it and suddenly stopped just a few feet away. The burning inferno had a lot of strength in it. It was throwing its flames towards him in order to suck him inside.

Vikra followed him with the same speed. But he was not ready for what happened next. He was stunned by Isidorus' sudden halt. He tried to stop himself from speeding, however, by that time he was already very close to Isidorus.

Taking the advantage of the situation, Isidorus pulled his hand and fed him to the portal.

"Noooo!" Vikra shouted. The flames of Seozia recognized the soul that belonged to it and they covered him from all sides. Vikra spiraled into a whirlpool of flames in the blink of an eye.

Vikra had tried numerous times but was never able to the Wizard Kingdom after he was banished. His wish remained unfulfilled till his end.

When Adrianna and Dmitri woke up, he said, "I wanted to go and meet Deba. I also wish to enquire about the other two werewolves who were burnt at stake."

They had taken bath and were eating lunch in their chamber on their bed. "You should. Even I would like to come with you, but first I have a very important thing on the agenda."

Dmitri read her mind. "I will accompany you there."

"Sure," she replied with a smile. Her thoughts went to Isidorus and her heart was filled with agony for him. He was the one who had identified her. He was the one who had brought her to the Wizard Kingdom and was a pillar of support throughout her ascension to the throne. He believed in her when no one else did. She pursed her lips and kept the spoon back on the plate.

Dmitri shifted to her. "He will be back, okay? Let's complete the unfinished errand."

She nodded with a heavy heart. In the next fifteen minutes, Adrianna walked in the main hall while brushing herself and Dmitri from top to bottom. New set of black leathers appeared on their bodies.

She was in her carriage along with Dmitri. Her personal security consisting of Nefasky and some Mozias, surrounded her. While on her way, Haldir came along with his set of Mozias and other wizards and they all flew around her carriage.

Their first stop was Yanga's house.

Yanga wasn't at home because she had gone to the Ministry.

When Lenny hadn't returned, Kenai was desperate to know what had happened next. Kenai was eager to meet his master. After his Master had possessed Dmitri, he had come back to the Wizard Kingdom. Along with other wizards who had colluded with him, he was forming strategies on how to topple the Queen for the entire night and the day.

No one knew that the royal couple had come back. Lenny had been secretly taken to the prison and even Yanga didn't know about it. That day in the morning Kenai had asked his mother, "When will Lenny come?"

"How would I know? She is, after all with the Queen," Yanga answered as she brushed her hair. She was so proud of Lenny accompanying the Queen that she had to boast it to others. That would only enhance her reputation. "I think she might come today because she told me that Adrianna has to attend the noble court.

Kenai's excitement increased manifold when he heard 'noble court'. That would mean that his Master would go there on his first day of return. He went to his bedroom and announced it to his partners in crime.

"That is simply great!" said one of them with a wicked smile.

Suddenly—
