Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Rudraksha

The sight was disastrous two huge armies facing each other with great menace, anticipation and nervousness can be felt everywhere but the feeling of pride and patriotism was oozing. Booming sounds of explosion with clashing sounds of swords, swoosh of bows and yelling of soldiers. Amidst this there stood on the mountain top the commander in chief riding over Vasuki, a white strong and fierce horse. He was accompanied by two commanders a few pairs of bowmen, swords men and sniper men, beside him was the chief advisor of battle and dharma Brahmin Anandanath.

(Dharma are a set of duties needed to be followed by Hindus)

A worried armyman can be found running towards the chief commander, he falls on the feet of Vasuki and sighs heavily,"Senapati..."

(Senapati is the title of commander in Chief)

The Senapati looked down at the pityfull figure,"What is it, Veer Youdha?" The Senapati never failed to motivate his men no matter what the situation is.

(Brave warrior)

"Sir the enemy army has done something pretty cunning!"

"Come to the point!" One of the commander yelled at him.

The poor man nodded repeatedly and replied with shaky breath,"They have put forward women and children in the battle field as a shield."

Everybody got shook from their core, Anandanath quickly added by looking at the Senapati," We can't put them in harm, it's against the war laws of our Dharma! Rudraksha!"

Rudraksha, the Senapati looked at his guru and replied calmly,"I might be a person of great anger, guru ji, but I will never go against Sanatan Dharma and choose the path of Adharma"

He belted his horse and started marching towards the battlefield. He took out a huge Shankha from his back and blow it, some men from the battlefield looked at him and nodded before marching towards their goal.

(Conch)

"Wait Rudraksha... Where are you going?" But before Anandanath could complete his question he already left.

"Don't worry, Guru Ji, He have a plan." The two commanders said and left.

The sniper men started killing the chief and important army men of the enemy, the other men started defending and protecting the man who were marching towards their goal. The men of Senapati soon killed all the important men of the war and people are just left were the poor peasants whose family members were held as a shield to protect the enemy's chief commander and his two bodyguards.

Senapati Rudraksha marched his horse towards the chief commander, one of his bodyguards threw an arrow towards Rudraksha but he swiftly dodged it. The bodyguard in return got killed by a sniperman.

Terror and fear was evident in the eyes of those innocent women who sat there vulnerable as Rudraksha March towards them. They close their eyes finally giving up their life to death as they wait for Vasuki to crush them over.

But Vasuki, the kind and imperial horse as he is, he quickly jumped over them and landed very close to the enemy chief commander. Before wasting any time they strided towards the commander in chief but the other bodyguard came to protect, but got his head Slayed by Rudraksha with his huge and sharp Sword. He didn't waste any time and approached the chief and used his sword upon him by cutting him into two pieces in one go.

He stopped Vasuki and Panted heavily. He took out a speaker and yelled at it.

"Look at these innocent women and children!" His thunderous voice ran on the battlefield as it made the soldiers numb and stop the war to listen to him.

"Do you really want your daughters, son, wives, sisters or mothers to die? Stop the war! We will not hurt any of you and let you all return to your kingdom without any harm." He screamed. They all stopped fighting and became totally silent, something which is very weird as the same place was wild a while ago it's like the silence after Storm.

"In return I just want you all to stop the war and not bring your innocent women and children in the battlefield..... Women are meant to be worshipped not to be killed, I am here in the battlefield so that I can go back home see the sweet face of the gift of God, my mother. So that I can call my sister and hear her sweet voice. But you all don't want it. You all want to see your women to suffer! Is that what makes you a man? If I give this sword to my sister she might come here and be a better worrier than me but no I can't let that happen because women don't deserve to do all those rough things as they already go through enough pain!"

He heard the clashing sounds of weapons falling as the men in the battle field silent and like statue, the women and children turned around to look at me one of them screamed,"上帝! (Shangdi)"

All the women followed her and started screaming,"上帝(shangdi)"

The enemy warriors followed and started screaming the same thing in their own language.

"上帝! 上帝! 上帝! 上帝! 上帝! 上帝! 上帝! 上帝! 上帝! 上帝! 上帝! 上帝! 上帝! 上帝! 上帝! 上帝! 上帝! 上帝! 上帝! 上帝! 上帝! 上帝! 上帝! 上帝! 上帝! 上帝! 上帝! 上帝! 上帝! 上帝! 上帝! 上帝! 上帝! 上帝! 上帝!"

Failing to understand what they are saying, Rudraksha came down from my horse and went towards the women and children, as he walked towards them the huge iron armour that he is adorned with made a clanking sound. He kneel down and started opening the ropes of their tied hands, some of my men came to me and helped me to open their hands.

Sukh, the translator approached me, he have a good knowledge of the Chinese language, which they are speaking in.

"Sukh what are they saying?" He asked.

"上帝, meaning God. They are calling you God."

Rudraksha stopped what he was doing and looked at them, who were looking at me with smile.

(A/N btw the Chinese people can understand Rudraksha's language because of mixed culture, but can't properly speak their language)

"請帶我們一起去你的王國!我們的新國王是不人道的,折磨我們,我們想成為Shivaay王國的一部分" one of the worrier screamed at me.

Rudraksha looked at Sukh and he translated,"Please take us with you in your kingdom! our new king is inhuman and torture us, he is the one with these bad plans, we want to be the part of Shivaay kingdom... That's what they said"

"拜託上帝,拜託! 拜託上帝, 拜託上帝,拜託! 拜託上帝, 拜託上帝,拜託! 拜託上帝,"they screamed.

"Please god please" sukhi said.

Rudraksha sighed and nodded at Sukhi.

"For that I have to attack your kingdom and kill your king, which I can't do without the permission of our King. But I will surely talk about that to him. Don't worry."

"No go! Don't go! Don't go! Don't go! No leave." They started saying in broken language to Rudraksha as he started walking towards his horse. He ignored the voices and hovered over his horse,"Please make us your slave."

By hearing those cruel words he baited the horse roughly and Vasuki started running towards the Shivaay Kingdom.

"I really have to talk with my father now." Rudraksha whispered under his breath.

Rudraksha's Point of View

I am Rudraksha Shivaay, younger son of the King Chandrashekhar Shivaay. I am the chief commander of the Kul, spend most of my lives roaming here and there and mostly in the cold hilly mountains of Kailash, the border of our kul. I have spent thirty percent of my life in our Kingdom, forty percent in Gurukul and the other thirty percent living a life of a Gypsy or a vagabond.

I took an oath that I will never get married because I am blessed with anger and wrath, I don't know how to love and show affection.

But everything changed when she entered my life.
