"Navya, what are you doing here?" Rudra asked."I thought you wanted me here," she replied in a sultry voice. Navya was beautiful, and she knew it. She had that superior look around her as if she was better than the rest of the world. It was typical of anyone brought up with privileges. As soon as he was the crown prince, there was a sudden increase in female attention. He had that earlier as well, but most of the ambitious courtiers and their daughters were wooing Anbir, now he was their target.Navya was chosen by his mother, the queen. She was beautiful, astute and had all the qualities fit for a queen, as per his mother.Her being daughter of the baron whose province provided the highest revenue to Vatsya was an added advantage.He turned to face her. She was dressed in a red gown which accentuated all her curves. A slit on her side gave a tantalizing view of her shapely legs.It's not like he didn't find her attractive, or didn't desire

"Thank you, master, for accepting me in the group," Maya said happily.The rest of the village riff rafs had been dismissed leaving only Maya behind."Being part of the watchers means total dedication and secrecy, are you ready for it ?" Baal said.She nodded."Good, once you are trained and initiated you will be part of the watchers.""Baal, what do the watchers do?""I cannot give you all the details but we are aiming to unite people against the oppressive Vatsaya, they have capture more than half of the world and their king won't stop until be gets world domination, perhaps, more.""Hmmm, did you also suffer some loss because of them?" She asked cautiously.He sighed."Yes, I lost a lot because of them," he replied.Maya didn't press further, he didn't seem interested to elaborate further on it.*******After getting thoroughly bored in his welcome dinner, Rudra retired to his chamber. It was gett

"Look there, your boyfriend is following you," Kaanchi whispered to Maya.Maya turned around where Kaanchi was pointing at. There he was leaning against a pole. His hands folded, staring intently at her.Their eyes met and she gave a smile of acknowledgement. His lips twitched and he nodded. Though he didnt make any attempt to come and talk to them."He is not my boyfriend!" Maya berated Kaanchi."He can be if you want to," she winked.Maya shook her head and continued checking out the bracelet she was admiring.It was the second day of the fair, Prahastha had nearly lost his cool, previous day, and he was ready to return to the safety of their villages. However, Maya managed to convince him that she would be more careful. He had agreed reluctantly.She moved on to the next stall and the next until she bumped into a wall of hard muscles.She looked up into the familiar hazel eyes."Hi again," he grinned."Hi, " she fumbled.

After tucking the message in Agni's wings, Prahastha yawned and stretched his body. It was late night and he should have been in bed long ago.He was walking towards his room when a sound of sobbing emanated from her room. Worried, he slowly opened the door of her room and peeped inside. She was lying on her bed, her eyes shut tightly, her hands clutching the sheets, she whimpered softly "We must help them, Captain, my parents they are hurt" she said as her arm reached out to no one but air.Understanding dawned on the Prahastha's face, she was having a nightmare. He moved closer to the bed staring at her pained features as she cried out into the night "Keep moving, we have to cross the bridge".Tears started to flow as her body shook with her silent sobbing. He was confused, he did not know what to do. Should he wake her? He stared at her, as she wrapped her arms around herself, hugging herself in her sleep.She was dreaming about the n

Several thousand years ago -In a Celestial dimension where time and space stood still. Aditi the mother Godess, of the Devas the rulers of heaven, was looking at two stars colliding, they burst into tiny glittering fragments leaving a black hole ready to gobble up the next heavenly body.She felt his presence before he reached her."How have you been my dear?" Kashyapa asked while following her gaze staring at the dance of celestial objects."I wonder how does father Brahma feels about this, his creation. They float around the universe taking birth, existing then destroying themselves. Right from the celestial to the molecular level. Mirroring each movement. The atoms behave in the same way, isn't it? Sometimes I feel they are all same."He smiled," its indeed the same, it never ends. The world, the universe, move in the perpetual cycle of creation and destruction. One who successfully detaches one
