Chapter 2 - Shantanu Accepts Bhishma as Son(Part 2)

Scene 2: (Shantanu and Satyavati are sitting on a log, on the bank of river)

Shantanu: I didn't know you are that strong.

Satyavati: My King, You are a warrior and a King of a great kingdom, Hastinapur. You know that power and strength comes from the heart instead of hands. Desire is the power of the heart.

Shantanu: Only that much of desire is good which you can hold within your hands, Satyavati.

Satyavati: God gives small eyes to us but having the power to see this elegant universe. Am i right, my King? Then how could i disregard God by keeping small desire?

Shantanu chuckles.

Scene 3: [A VILLAGE OF HASTINAPUR NEAR THE RIVER GANGA]

Demons are attacking on the village. Every house is burning in the fire. There is demolition everywhere. They are mercilessly slaughtering every men, women and children.

A woman: Oh my King! Protect us.

A boy is running towards a drum to send a message to the King. As he beat it hard with those two sticks, demons look at him with anger and stop him to do so but he resists them and start to run from the way out from village. But the demon's king Hida throws a halberd to kill him.

Suddenly an arrow collides with that very fast flown halberd and destroys it.

A very tall sturdy man, with well set body and long hair is standing behind that boy. The brightness of his face is competeting with the moon. There is a long bow in one of his hand and the other one is on waist. Glow in his eyes is like that it seems the Sun itself live in his eyes. The wind wants to touch every single hair of him.

Hida: Who are you daring to challange the demon king Hida.

Man: Swords are given to warriors and Robbers are warned, Hida.

Hida gives the order to his army to kill him.

But no one can stand even a single minute infront of him.

Man starts to walk slowly towards Hida and punches him on face. Hida groans and falls down on the ground.

Man: You have your place to live demon Hida. You are not supposed to be here.

Hida: What about Humans then? Why they come to our place(Rakshasaavart) and cut our trees and attack on our lands?

Man: If this is true, then you have my word Hida. After today no human ever will go to your Raakshasaavart and also you make sure same for demons.

Man raises Hida from the ground.

Man: Free all of them who are captured.

Hida orders his demons to do that.

But suddenly multiple noises of horses and people running slowly rises. They see a whole army coming towards village.

[Who is this Man who easily defeated demon king Hida? And who's Army is this coming towards them?]
