Prologue

It was raining. The woman's scream pierced the night. A child's soft cries were heard next. The healer looked at the woman who was no more and took the baby to his father. The man looked up and saw the child in her arms. "It is a boy, warrior," said the healer. "How is his mother?" asked the warrior. The healer did not respond at first. "She did not make it," said the healer. The warrior was silent for sometime. The men around him were equally subdued. The child was still crying. No one knew what to do. The warrior extended his hand and took his son in. He had looked at his fellow men and dropped his sword before he did so. He did the last rites for his beautiful wife. Then with his child in arm and a few necessities with him, Avdeyu Ilnaya walked into the woods of Dandakarani to be seen never again. -----------------

A War Uncalled For

Adharva looked at the trespasser. He took the crime of entering his empire without permission very seriously. The man was now cowering down. "I did not know that I was crossing the borders, your highness," said the man aged around 60 by the looks of it. "No trespasser leaves the land without consequences," said Adharva. "Your highness, please pardon this god forsaken soul," the man begged. "Prison," said Adharva looking at the guards. "Please my emperor, I have a family depending on me," begged the man as he was dragged away by the guards. ----------- Adharva looked at the woman waiting for him in the bed. She was wearing minimal clothes as he liked it. Her bosom was huge and her legs were long. After tiresome days, it was the company of these beautiful woman that kept him sane. There was no harem but there was never any shortage for wome

Controlled Chaos

Mithraos looked out through the window of the palace. He was looking at the hills that shined. With his palace close to the border, he could see the palace proudly standing atop Mount Avanava, the palace of Mauryae's. The castle where the ruthless Malvan King lived.  Mithraos sighed as he looked around. He hated this palace. The place where his parents were killed, the place that reminds him of what he lost every second of the day, which is also the reason he roamed the forests and went on wars. He hated sitting still, lounging in the palace, accepting the comforts. He becomes restless all too soon. Mithraos do not court danger like many believes. He simply want to be engaged in some activity. What better option than war, when it brings him so much power and protects his Kingdom too. It also made him feel invincible, capable. ------------- Eloy ran through the woods. It is a part of his exercise

Courting Danger

Adharva was honestly impressed by the suggestions made by Mithraos. He has heard that the legendary warrior Eloy had made the suggestion. The fact that Mithraos could just have brushed it off and proceeded with a full on war and that he did not do so, made him have some respect for the King too. Adharva let his brothers discuss the terms. He was not worried about them disappointing him. They never would. Even when they lost parents at a young age, his brothers have brought him up without making him feel the void, with help ofcourse. Even when they taught him the lessons in being an King and a proper man. He knew he do not follow all that they taught him, but still, what he did absorb kept him sane. He also knew that the Chief of Warriors of Mauraye was not going to be happy about this. He was on a retreat and would be on his way back now. He had not let him know because he didn't want the man to get hurt. But he knew if the chief warrior had

Night Wonders

The second day of the war was equally ferocious. Adharva got furious as one of the warriors were determinedly attacking Shikhar. But before he could move, Rishi was there. He turned and watched as soldiers collapsed on both sides. He sighed and took his sword and stepped down.  ------------ Mithraos watched as the royal family defend the warrior head but kept that to himself. He was sure Eloy noticed too. That only meant that the rumours they have heard is true. It is said that only Rishikesh Malvan and Shikhar Vanshi have a say in the royal matters. He saw the Malvan Emperor for the first time then and he had to admit the man oozed power. If he gave it more thought, he knew they were not different from each other. -------------- Eloy saw the Malvan Emperor and he saw the man fight. He was as outstanding as Mithraos. Eloy's attention was back in the batt

A Revelation

Having spent a night together after years, Rishi was emotionally exhausted as he reached the war front. Shikhar was in a similar state. But he was and had always been a stronger man than Rishi, a better man. Or atleast Rishi thought so. Rishi watched as Shikhar fought as hard as ever, if with more anger. His brother had smiled warmly at him in the morning, meaning, he saw them in bed together. He knew it was his fault that Shikhar was not a Malvan by name even now. If he had not been a fool, Shikhar would have been his and they would have had a horde of children too.Rishi looked away. That might never happen now. He had been a fool, utter fool. He sighed and looked at Adharva even as he fought the enemies who came his way. He saw his brother was observing Warrior Eloy and he can see why. That was talent in its own. However the look on Adharva's face was more than just admiration.He pondered over it.-------The sword brushed past Eloy and tore his skin a bit. Mithraos was red with

An Agreement

The clearing in the woods went silent. All were looking at the woman. "Who sent you?" asked Mithraos."Karivayis," said the woman and in that moment two warriors in the Mauraye side cut their own throat.All understood the seriousness of the situation."What was the plan of Karivayis?" asked Rishi.Karivayis are the darkest of the group in Arthanava. They are believed to be living like animals. They leave only bones and skeletons after a war. They are also said to be the most blood hungry ones."To poison the winner," said Viyahi, the woman, now in a choke hold."An army waits in the outskirts," said a guard who came running almost falling."We need a peace treaty. Now," said Samarth."Yes, we do, Prince Samarth is right," said Guardioni and looked at Mithraos who gave a curt nod."An eight level formation and we want a fortress of warriors," said Eloy and the guards moved to the frontiers."Artillery will guard the other frontiers of Mauryae and Maheraya," said Shikhar nodding to El

New Beginnings

A union of three, was not unheard of. The men guarding the boundaries heard the sound of the conch before sunrise. It was blown thrice. It could only mean one thing, the war was called off or there was a winner. The enemy armies stood in attention, thousands listening in to understand what happened.The victory sound of carnyx was heard from both sides of the wood. The sound of drums were heard. Then the sound of lyres and flutes were heard from both sides and all warriors looked at each other in shock. That meant the announcement of a royal marriage.The hostile army retreated, slowly back into the woods, up the hills and were gone. And they were definitely not Karivayis.-------------------Eloy was in his tent soon. He just sat there on the floor. He had refused a bed because he didn't want any special consideration other soldiers did not get. He sat there wondering about his life as it is.Left at the door of the palace itself at the age of 1 or even before that, Guardioni had tak

Union

The birds chirped as the early rays of sun touched the clearings in the woods. Eloy saw Shikar coming towards their tents. Mithraos also saw the man's arrival with guards. Mithraos got out of the tent. He had seen the way the royals had respected the man and the stories too. He gave a small bow to his soon to be brother- in- law who beamed as if Mithraos has not injured him the other day. He can see where the stories regarding the nature of Shikhar were coming from."I have picked the rituals from the palace last night. I want you and Eloy to go through it, your high-"Please refrain from calling me your highness, royal father. You can call be Mithraos," said Mithraos.Shikhar looked at him for a moment.Eloy had also come down. He and Mithraos were yet to speak or see each other. Eloy bowed."Sit down both of you," said Shikhar finally and sat down himself.The guards handed over the manuscripts with the rituals. Mithraos looked at Eloy. He moved to the side of the diwan he was s

Wedding

Adharva and Mithraos were given the beautiful necklace. They together brought it to Eloy's neck as instructed and joined it at the back, claiming him. The music reached its peak at that point and flowers were showered on them. Then Mithraos was asked to sit while Eloy stood. Together Adharva and Eloy wore Mithraos the necklace. Then Adharva was asked to take his place. Both Mithraos and Eloy together wore him the necklace. All three stood, Eloy between the two emperors.The elders from both sides have to give away them. Mithraos and Eloy asked Guardioni to give them away while Adharva asked Hrishikesh and Shikhar to give his hand away.Once the elders did so happily, entwining all three of their hands before the fire, their robes were joined with a shawl and all three took seven rounds around the fire as instructed. Once they finished it, they were declared married by the priest.All three looked at each other. Silence reigned but they sought blessings from the elders. First they sou
