Bheem :- Just tell is it worth or not.
Shopkeeper eyed the two strange, well built men, having their faces covered and carrying weapons in a bag.
He then checked the jewelry and bracelets.Shopkeeper :- Where did you get it from ?
Sahdev :- Does it matter ?
Shopkeeper shook his head and gestured at the pile of clothes.
Bheem and Sahdev collected all the brahmins clothing and wrapped them in a bundle.Shopkeeper :- Travelling somewhere ? Still such lot of clothes are not needed, and why these sarees.
Bheem :- It's nothing to do with you, moreover we're not alone, our family must be waiting for us.
They carried the luggage and went away, shopkeeper kept looking at them with suspicion, then continued his work.
In the forest,
Kunti was preparing fruit salad from the fruits Arjun and Nakul had bought.
Karn made slippers for them out of rags, Yudhisthir sharpened some stones to make knives.
Nakul was changing bandages on Awantika's knees.
Awantika :- Though all looks fine, it still hurts while walking or standing up.
Nakul :- You've injured your ligaments, it takes time to heal such wounds, if not dealt carefully, your knees may get damaged permanently.
Awantika :- Wait, it ain't gonna happen in my case right ?
Nakul :- Can't say anything for now, just be utmost careful while walking, and try to avoid jerks. There, all done.
She caressed her knees wondering what worse could have happened.
'Better than being held captive by him'
She thought, Karn came there carrying a pair of pads in his hand.
Karn :- This can help, knee pads, it can ease out some pain and provide heat to reduce swelling.
She took the pads and tied them over bandages.
Bheem and Sahdev returned carrying clothes and weapons.
They gave one to each.Arjun :- (testing the string) Pretty durable, not much though.
Karn :- So, all spent ?
Bheem reached his hand inside a pouch he was holding.
Bheem :- Almost everything, only this necklace and these pair of bracelets remain.
Yudhisthir :- Save them for now, might be useful afterwards.
Kunti :- All of you, first eat, salad is ready.
She served the salad to all as they sat around her, having something to eat after a whole day long.

Maharaj Shantanu stood beside the young man, his face reflecting plain shock at the sight in front of him.
A wall of arrows had stopped the flow of Ganga.
