Third POV 

Karn had not even realized what he did until the gasps of his nephews reached his ears. He was just so adamant to stop Pranav from doing Whatever he was up to that he just did the deed himself.

The others who had been with Karn had thought of hundreds of possibilities of what they could come across on going in there. But this was not one of them. This was something that they in no way could have imagined of happening.
Yudhishthira- thank shiva for his calm mind- instantly had a sword across an unconscious Pranav's neck, they could not take chances at all. The others who regained their senses by his movement also joined him. Pranav would be suffering from their hand today.

Ananya was just sitting there, for a few seconds, she had not grasped the fact of Karn marrying her. How? And even more importantly why? When Karn fell to his knees in front of her realizing what he did. Ananya felt a chill run through her body, realizing the severity of the situation.
She loved her best friend Karn. She really did but marriage? Being a wife? Being a daughter-in-law? She did not understand that. She did know a letter about it.

"Your marriage is the luckiest one." The Priest says. "Marriage here, in front of Devi Parvati, the goddess of marriage, also the temple is guarded by the Banyan tree which is a blessed sign. Plus, marriage today, on the auspicious day of Vat Savitri, is considered the marriage will be the purest and praised upon amongst mankind and gods alike for ages."

Ashwatthama stared at his newly wed friend. He was not listening, and if he was, he was not able to really grasp the point of it all. He needed to do something. "Pandit Ji! Thank you. But could you please give us some solitude? It would be greatly appreciated."

The Pandit nodded and walked out.
Picking a rope that had been tied around Princess Ananya, he handed it to Yudhishthira who tied it around Pranav and one of the beams with help of Yuyutsu. While Duryodhana went to get some water. Ashwatthama did not really not know what to do, but clearly the newlywed couple needed to be brought to Earth.

Ashwatthama took the herbs- that they had collected- out and cautiously walked towards princess Ananya. "Princess?"

When Princess Ananya looked up at him, her eyes were lost, her face blank; it really broke his heart to see them like this. All because an old bastard of a prince! He was going to practice archery with that son of bitch later! How dare he! He messed with the wrong group of people.

"I have some ointment for your wounds." He says, softly, cautious of the fact that she may be scared or that she would not trust him.

Ananya raises a shaky hand to take the medicine from Ashwatthama. Who was not sure what to do. She looked in shape to do it herself. Karn was still in his 'oh god this is all going in a crap' world. Would it be alright if he did it? Or would that be a wrong move?
