The first rays of the morning sun had just spread over the city when Ignisa received worrying news — strange movements had started near the Mehan Mountains.
Waves of spiritual energy were spreading everywhere.
Ignisa went to the palace to share this news with Lily.
Lily said firmly,
"We must go there, or all our hard work and the money we spent will be wasted."
Ignisa frowned slightly and said,
"I don't know… but something doesn't feel right. It's too soon."
Lily nodded softly and said,
"Yes… it is early. We have been here for less than a month, while it should have taken more than a month for this to happen."
Just then, Snehwal suddenly showed up. He stretched his arms and said,
"Yes, I'm getting bored too. Going outside sounds fun. If we go to the Mehan Mountains, I'll get a little trip too."
Lily walked toward him, grabbed both his cheeks, and said,
"Sweetheart, this isn't that easy. You're the weakest among the four of us! Aren't you even a little worried that someone might hurt you?"
Snehwal smiled playfully and said,
"Afraid of what? Why should I be scared when a beautiful warrior like you is with me?"
Lily quickly pulled his cheeks again.
Snehwal groaned, "Ouch! That hurts! I was just joking!"
Lily crossed her arms and said,
"Joking? You're still joking? This is serious!"
Snehwal rubbed his cheek proudly and said,
"I'll become great by facing challenges — that's my motto for all wisdom and learning!"
Lily sighed and said,
"Looks like you ate too much green herb last night and didn't sleep enough either. That's why you're talking like this."
Snehwal chuckled, "No, but someone gave me a little less love last night."
Lily looked at him with her lovely eyes — eyes that showed a quiet, unspoken affection.
For a moment, Snehwal froze, just staring at her.
Lily smiled softly,
"Go and get ready first. Seems like you're still half asleep."
Saying that, she walked away.
Snehwal scratched his head and muttered,
"What did I do wrong now? I've never even read a love story on Earth… yet somehow, I think I'm starting to understand what love really is."
He ran his fingers through his hair, took a deep breath, and then went outside toward the waterfall to take a bath.
Lily and Ignisa opened the lower basement of the palace. There were many spiritual stones and weapons arranged there. Lily just looked around and whispered,
"There are so many treasures here."
Lily checked many swords there but then put them back.
Ignisa picked up a strong and shiny sword kept in the middle and said,
"This is what I needed. Now let's see its power."
She then walked away.
Lily also came out with her. Ignisa said to Lily,
"Lily, you get ready, I will ask my servant to do some work in the palace."
Lily said, "Yes, sister."
Both of them walked away.
Lily went to Snehwal. Snehwal was bathing under the waterfall, but he was focused on bathing. Lily put one foot in the water and whispered,
"The water is not that cold, let's make it a little warm."
A smile appeared on her face.She gently set her clothes aside. Then she slowly came near Snehwal and whispered,
"This morning you were sad, I can't see you sad. Today I want to be kind to you and bless you."
As soon as Snehwal looked at Lily, he froze like ice. Words got stuck in his mouth.
Lily touched his chest and made Snehwal feel alive. She kissed his shoulder.
At that moment, Snehwal also got lost in that moment. He moved Lily's hair from her ear and blew a little warm breath near her ear. Both of them got close to each other. White spiritual energy rose on the water. Then Snehwal lifted Lily and gently leaned close to make her feel safe.
Lily let out a soft sigh. Snehwal held her hand gently to support her. Then slowly, they both reached another world, as if between the earth and the sky a new world appeared.
Slowly, Snehwal held Lily close. In a few moments, the waterfall was filled with white spiritual energy. A soft, sweet fragrance of Lily spread around. Snehwal's face was very close to Lily, and both of them wanted to enjoy the moment as if there was no tomorrow.
It was their first and memorable time together. After some time, Snehwal breathed deeply and He slipped and lay down by the edge of the waterfall. Lily also lay beside him. Both of them were wrapped in a white cloth, together.
Snehwal gently placed his lips near Lily's eyes and asked,
"How do you feel?"
Lily smiled and said,
"You tell me… are you happy?"
Snehwal replied,
"Very much."
Then, for a few moments, they just stayed lost in each other.
Lily laughed and pulled the white cloth — both were inside it. Lily's voice came,
"One more time."
Snehwal smiled and said,
"Now don't be so generous, goddess."
Lily said in a soft voice,
"One more time is needed."
Snehwal laughed and replied,
"Not one more time… now until I am satisfied."
Meanwhile, Ignisa was sitting on a chair in the palace, muttering,
"Where has Lily been missing for one hour?"
"All three are missing."
After bathing and wearing clothes, Lily gently bumped Snehwal's shoulder with hers and gave a small push, saying,
"Was it fun? Are you happy now? Do you still have any wish left?"
Snehwal replied,
"I am happy. Are you happy? Am I too loose?"
Lily pushed him again, and Snehwal fell into the flowing water nearby. Lily ran away shouting,
"You are too loose!"
Snehwal looked at his clothes and said,
"Really?"
