17 years ago -Queen Kalita tucked three-year-old Revati in her bed. Her golden curls spread on the pillows.After years of being childless, they had finally adopted Revati, an orphan child of King Suchihero's cousin. Suddenly, a bright light filled the room. Squinting her eyes Kalita stared at the source, which was a woman looking at her with sad eyes."Who are you, lady?" Kalita asked.Surprisingly, her presence was soothing rather than scary."You will be a mother again Kalita. Though you will not have much time with her. But you are going to be a vessel, a vessel for my heir.""I don't understand, my lady, " Kalita said."You will understand everything in time, child."The woman disappeared as unexpectedly as she had materialized. Kalita woke up from her dream. She rubbed her head trying to decipher the dream.***********Presently -"I have a question brother, " Rudra asked Anbir as they were getting prepared for the camp."Sure, go ahead, " " Why does the father want you to mar

Toshani shivered, even though they were standing in front of the fire. She felt his hand going around her unfastening her wet cloak."What are you doing?" She asked, startled."I think we should get out of these wet clothes, you will catch a cold, Toshani, " Rudra said while removing her cloak, he spread it out on a rock. Then proceeded to remove his cloak and started unbuttoning his wet shirt.Her eyes grew wide, as his perfect abs were revealed one by one. She turned away, trying her best not to look at him. He smirked, confident about the way he looked.It was still cold. Her layers of wet clothes were not helping much but it felt weird to undress in the company of a boy right after confessing their love for each other, and kissing."You are still shivering, Toshani, " he reminded her."I..... I am fine, " she replied as her clothes dripped with water."Don't worry, I won't do anything, " he raised his eyebrows, "Anything inappropriate is the last thing on my mind right now."She bl

Suchihero pondered over Shrushaw's words, then rubbed his temples with his fingers."What do you mean by powers? What powers does Toshani have?" "She is the heir of Goddess Aditi you know that. Somehow her presence at the shrine broke my maze. Perhaps it is because of her age, she is 16 now. Her powers were eventually going to show up.""You haven't answered my question? What powers does she have?" "The prophecy...." Shrushaw said."Yes, I know the prophecy, I want to know what does Toshani has to do with breaking your maze?" The king insisted."The shrine is the hiding place of the source, your majesty. Toshani's presence must have affected it somehow, which created a mystic surge and broke the maze."Shrushaw explained though she herself was not sure about it."What do you suggest? What should I do?" "Keep her away from this forest, and the shrine your majesty.""You know that's impossible. Tos

"This is preposterous!" Anbir was fuming.The applause died down, and most of the eyes in the court had turned towards Anbir."I have won 3 of the previous tournaments, how can you choose someone else?"

The ship was sailing over the turbulent water of the mighty river Brahmaputra. Ganga the sacred river had yet to descend on Earth.Lorna being the Vassal state of Shambhala it was technically in Shambala boundaries.Revati stood over the highest deck reserved for the royal couple. The ship was a gift from Suchihero.
