Toshani was feeling like a tour guide. Rudra was fascinated by everything, he wanted to visit every shop, try out every eatery, and struck a conversation with random people."Rudra you must not talk to everyone like this. We'll attract attention" She reprimanded him.Rudra was happily strolling on the cobbled road. They were in the middle of the market area. It was crowded with merchants and shoppers."I thought you were the fearless one." He spoke."I am fearless, not stupid!" She replied."Hmmm so tell me what the most fascinating thing about your city is?" He asked casually munching on a stick of kababs which he had bought from a vendor."Isn't it enough? You have seen almost everything!" Toshani grumbled.They had been wandering around for hours and she was tired.He just grinned at her. His eyes were suddenly caught by the glowing pagoda of a temple in a distance.He stared at it spellbound."What is that?" "That is the temple of Aditi.the mother goddess of Shambala," Toshani rep

When the universe was created by "Brahma" the creator God. He had several "mind-born" children. Mind born means born from his mind.Kashyap was one of the “mind-born” sons of Brahma and part of a prominent constellation Saptarshi (The seven).Brahma ordered Kashyap to go to Earth and marry 8 daughters of the celestial king Daksh for Earth was new and barren, devoid of any life.Kashyap married the 8 sisters and each wife bore him different races of children.His chief wife Aditi's sons were called Aditya.Second wife Diti's sons were called Daityas.The third wife Manu bore him manavs (humans)Fourth wife Danu bore him Danavs (demons)And so on. These children went on to produce different races and species on Earth. Everything was going peacefully when Brahma created Heaven. The Adityas and the daityas fought fiercely among themselves to rule the heavens. But daityas were evil, they were winning by deceit.To save her children Aditi gave her power to her sons the Adityas.The daityas

Udaya checked the pulse of sleeping Anbir and sniffed the wine goblet."It's a simple sleeping potion but combining it with wine can make a person sleep for 24 hours. Luckily, I have an antidote." She smiled pleasantly.She took out a root that smelled like wasabi. It was strong enough to make anyone's eyes water.She broke a piece of the root and pushed it in Anbir's mouth."It will work in a few minutes, " she added.Rudra waited with bated breath.In a few minutes, Anbir woke up coughing and gagging."What the hell is this! Who stuffed this nasty thing in my mouth.”? Anbir grumbled and spit the bitter root. Then catching glimpse of everyone in the room he asked."What happened? Who is this lady?" He eyed Udaya."Give him a cold shower, and drink lots of liquid. This will flush out the potion from his body." Udaya gave further instructions to Rudra while Anbir looked on stupidly."Thanks, Lady Udaya. Please allow me to escort you back to the infirmary." Rudra said."I will explain

Prahastha walked through the narrow lanes of the city. Every nation no matter how prosperous they are having hidden nooks and corners where the poorest, the most vicious, and the most unfortunate hide behind the veil of obscurity.This was the dingy part of the Aumeria, one of the major cities of Vatsaya. Even the king's guards avoided this part of the town.Like a sore wound, it was ignored by the rest of the population.He preferred living among these outcasts. No one bothered him and he could go about his business in peace. He threw some coins at a beggar sitting near a hidden entrance. Then he mumbled the magic words which unlocked the door of an ageing building. A flight of stairs led to a medium-sized quarter. No one could guess that Prahastha, one of the most accomplished and gifted Mages of the century was now a dreaded assassin - Dark Shadow.*******"And in conclusion, I would like to thank......" Prince Leonard droned on and on and on."I bet he loves the sound of his own v

"Please, I am sorry, just let me go, " Leonard pleaded.Blood was pouring from the cut on his lips, it flowed down his chin and stained his pristine white collar. One of his eyes had turned black, the rest of his face was covered in bruises.Bent into a fetal position on the floor of his own room, he shivered in fright."Oh! Come on, I thought the great conspirator would be stronger than this. What a pathetic piece of shit!" Anbir spat at him."I think that's enough brother, he has got his lesson. Just ask him to withdraw from the competition."Rudra said from the chair he was lounging on. After reaching the banquet, Rudra had informed Anbir about what he had overheard in the courtyard. They had lured Leonard to come along with them. While Malcolm and Gopi kept a lookout.Anbir and Rudra had overpowered Leonard, roughed him up, and now he was crawling at Anbir's feet."I have a better idea, I can just kill him, " Anbir said while gritting his teeth in anger."I would suggest not to d
