Zaffar was very nervous, he promised big things to the Shah..but he lost his face in the battle..Pinaka came up with brilliant strategies and countered him in a great way..he was so sure of himself..he was fierce..vile and cruel..now he was nothing but a scared and nervous being..the dark cells broke him badly..the horrors he experienced made him a weak man..he was no longer the Zaffar who was a ferocious bandit..

The Shah was with Shameen..he went to see her and talk to her about the animosity the people had for her..he said, " Shameen, you must stop your sacrifices.." she looked at him and smiled and said, " no more sacrifices my dear Shah..!" she said and walked towards him..she ran a finger over his chest and drew a line with her nail..it left a thin scar..he flinched..,"oh you are delicate.."she said and laughed..he looked exasperated..he said, " Shameen , are you telling me the truth? no more sacrifices?" she nodded her head and said,"indeed..no more..they were enough..the great evil is going to be reborn.. through me.. tonight.. I need you here.." he looked at her figure and said,"one more ritual?" she said, " oh poor baby.. you want to sleep with me so badly..but not tonight.." he looked at her and said, " there will be another Time?" a little too hopefully..she looked at him angrily... suddenly she closed her eyes and said. .. ," you have new friends..go to your palace..play your cards wisely..it"s time for my ritual.. I will see you tonight..," and retired..he mumbled," she orders me around like a slave.." and left..

He entered the palace and the messenger came in announcing that there were two men waiting to meet him in a small chamber..he thought.." that woman sees everything.. I must be careful of her.." and said," send them in.."
