Somehow in dwapar-yug

The kids was aware of the two strangers, eyeing them suspiciously.
They were surprised to see how they dressed up.

Long silky hair, well-built muscular body, their upper body was covered with gold ornaments. The heck? They were even wearing crowns. These two looked like, they came straight from disney world. Just like princes. They literally looked ethereal

Vanya couldn't manage to hide her surprised look after taking quick peek of their abs.

'Woah!! We can do laundry on theirs abs.......What the heck vanya?! Clean thoughts only!'

Mentally slapping herself she shook her head. "Is there shooting going on?" Misha whispered, "Right!, they are looking like actors from tv serials".

She ignored all the thoughts that seems to distract her and focused on the two men. "Who are you?" She asked hoping for a reply but she got none.But making the strangers more perplexed.

'Is he deaf or something?'

"Pranipat devi!" The one in white dhoti said, but seeing the confused look on the strange kids faces he decided to introduce themselves. "Myself arjun and he is my younger brother nakul. He said pointing at himself and the other man on his side.

The kids just stared at them with bewildered expression. "What alien language is he speaking?" She heard one of her classmate questioning.
But she noticed the the language he spoke was strangely familiar.

Before she could speak any further aaryan interrupted her. "Stop blurting out nonsense, and tell us who are you?" Vasudev lightly smacked his head for being rude and pulled him back.

"He's speaking sanskrit guys. Let me handle this." Riddhi, one of the quiet kid from the class spoke up. There were only two of them, with sanskrit being their second language. One of them was riddhi.

"I'm sorry, my fellow friends cannot understand sanskrit" she apologized on behalf of her friends.

"Could you please introduce yourself again?" Riddhi asked politely, not intending to sound disrespectful.

"Yes! I'm arjun and this is my brother nakul. We are kuru rajkumars from hastinapur" he gratefully nodded and itroduced himself again.

"Hastinapur?" Riddhi repeated being shocked.

'Maybe I heard it wrong'.

"Like in kuru kingdom, hustinapur?" She asked, her eyes widened. The man in white dhoti nodded with a smile, confirming her doubt.

"We were passing by and heard the bushes moving, i thought there might be a wild animal so I shot the arrow without seeing.....and she got hurt because of me. I'm extremely sorry." He further explained, but riddhi was too lost to give him any response.

Vanya and her classmates gathered besides Riddhi, seeing her negotiate with the man. Although they didn't understand a word, they were listening intently.

"What did he say?" Vanya grabbed riddhi by her shoulders. "H-he said they are some princes from h-hustinapur." She said slightly sluttering.

"What is this hustin-pur now?" Aaryan interrupted them struggling to pronounce the word. Everyone was confused as they heard the word first time, they were waiting riddhi to explain further.
