Faraway place from Kingdom Rashtrakuta
A lizard monster runs so fast on it's four legs as it had been scared of something. It nears a deep pit, seeing it the face of the monster turned happy. It went inside making sounds of panting. Then a arrow swiftly went inside the cave following it. No sounds were heard after this.
Looking at the direction of the arrow which it came. A woman is holding a bow with a quiver holding a little more than five to six arrows indicating the arrows were used in hunting. She appears to be in her early thirties with green armoured dress. The wind around her was getting compressed to an unimaginable manner as she took another arrow and placed it on her bow. The compressed wind made the arrow travel so fast that it had already reached it's target. It entered the cave again like before.
" Your Highness the lizard is dead."
another woman also wearing armour dress said.
By the tone and appearance she seemed like a personal servant.
" Your Highness there is news about you and the king Maurya giving birth to a male child. I received the news just some time ago. I thought it was just some fake rumours. But the King himself has announced this welcoming them to attend the celebration at the year end"
Every year Amogha goes around travelling places for months and likes hunting. This year too she had went travelling.
Hearing the news the wind around her really became wild. " Who the hell did he fuck around while I was here , to have a baby." with anger on her face.
At this time she took her communication device to contact him but it already had a message from him.
" Amogha come to the palace quickly. If you have already heard about the baby It is not mine"
"Maya use your space ability we will return to palace." Amogha said with anger seen on her face.
A space tear appeared and both them entered it.
(Amogha is a wind ability user which belongs to attack type. )

Maurya and Chanakya were in currently in a room. Chanakya was taking care of the baby - feeding , washing, changing clothes.
Maurya reduced Chanakya's duties for this. When he was a baby Chanakya was the one who took care of him too. So he felt assured when it was Chanakya doing things for him. He had become his trusted aid.
The baby still had a weak body as it was still getting used to Maurya's blood. Once it accepts it could awaken his ability. It still required quite some time.
The door opened , Amogha entered carrying her daughter in her arms inside.
She straight away went towards picking up the baby from Chanakya and compressed the wind like a like a arrow aiming towards it.
" Why the hell should I accept this as my son tell me ? or else I'll kill it".
Chanakya instantly retrieved his sword filling his aura aiming towards her.
" My Highness you're not thinking of doing something childish right. This man is getting old so I am not hearing things properly. Could you please tell me once again" he said in such kind tone if he was not aiming his sword they would really believe it.
Amogha kept the baby down staring at Chanakya. He was much stronger than her. So she could only discuss things peacefully.
Maurya knew this coming so he didn't stop Chanakya from threatening Amogha.
" I believe this child has a higher chance of awakening the ability similar to me. After I found out this I brought him to the palace. He has no parents. So I made him my son." he didn't say the truth because the pact was made to not reveal anything.
Even if the pact was not there he would have still lied to her.
Amogha now realized all the things, " What if he doesn't awaken similar , will you still keep him as your son?"
Hearing this" If he doesn't awaken I'll kill him myself." he lied straight to her face because the child will definitely awaken his ability.
A laughing sound came from the bed.
Everyone were so involved in talking no one paid attention to the little girl.
She had been holding the baby's hand with her hand comparing it. With pride all over her face she laughed" Mine is bigger "
" Ruhi he is your brother from now ,take good care of him okay?" Maurya said
Ruhi laughed again " Yeah papa " comparing another hand and finding still her hand was bigger.

At the year's end
The whole kingdom was in festival atmosphere for thier new prince. The skies were brightened with lights and fireworks. Many had come from the kingdom to see the prince in the capital city.
The child was placed in the court yard in a baby carrier. All the people were present in a open spacious ground.
Maurya and Amogha entered and holding the baby together they said
" We are naming our son MAHI RASHTRAKUT. As his parents we believe he will bring great fortune to our kingdom. He will make our ancestors proud'.
With this the naming ceremony was over.
Then the people were allowed to see the baby from close about 10meters away from it. Everyone formed a line to see their prince since it was not everyday they could see him. Chanakya was holding the baby in his arms .
This went for more than ten hours.
Then the baby started to cry and soon Chanakya went inside.
Then people returned to the inns of the capital city since everything spent on alcohol and inns was paid by the royal palace that day. Everyone drank and sang enjoying. The next morning all returned to their regions telling people all that happened in the capital city. Songs were made on baby.

Inside the palace
All the ministers, generals and officials were present. They all had made plans to satisfy the king's demand and presented to him. Maurya was satisfied with the initial report. Still few had not taken this seriously , who doubted the war. Maurya revoked their positions and ordered to appoint new ones.
He gave a green light to their plans to implement.
****
After three years
The income from the taxes was doubled filling the treasury. And at the same time was emptied by the military increasing soldiers as they need to pay them.
Many had already forgotten about the war. Still Everything was heading towards the right direction.
In Maurya's heart the desire was getting stronger bit by bit with each passing day. He was like a farmer waiting for his crops to bear the fruit.
Near the passage of the garden Ruhi is running followed by Mahi with his unequal footing running behind her.
He has become a taller, bigger normal for a three year baby.
His body was accepting Maurya's blood collecting the aura of the elements suitable for it, yet there was another aura of element entering its body along with it fusing with his blood.
Strangely chains were being formed on his heart binding it slowly as if it was part of his body. And nobody knew about it, not even Maurya nor God of War.
What will this lead to ?
