Palakkad, Vijayanagara Empire.
The sun was setting in the distance as two people trekked through the lush forest area of Palakkad along the waterfall towards a small village. The old tree stood tall in the greenery, giving much-needed shade and food for birds and animals.
The water splashes dimmed the faint noises of critters and rustling of leaves as the duo trekked through to find the village.
It was Bhairava and Vikrama Rama who had set out to find the daughter of Vikrama that was lost in a flood years ago.
Bhairava had informed Harsha of his mission. He did reject the offer of security as the path was arduous and they would scare the villagers as well.
"Your Highness. Are you sure this is the right place?" Vikrama asked, huffing heavily as he was not used to physically challenging activities.
