The Flame Of Fire

✨The War✨

"Pitashree!"Shouted the eldest Kaurava," I want to marry the youngest Princess of Panchala. I want Agnisuta to be mine. And the only way left is to wage a war. We can easily win against those weaklings!"

" Why are you talking nonsense, putra Duryoudhan? You know how powerful that princess is? She is god gifted and people say she can surpass great male warriors in warfare!!"

"Still, she is just a woman Pitashree. I have my friend, Angraj Karma with me. No one is better than him in archery. Moreover I'm a male, why should I fear a lowlife woman?!!!!"

All the idiotic sons of Gandhari were successful in brainwashing Dhristarashtra.

Due to which he declared war against Panchala without Caring for the opinion of Pitamah Bhisma. This angered him and he denied to participate. Moreover he had taken an oath to never raise weapon against a woman. So if they lost, Dhristarashtra himself would have to go.Ashwathama being Duryodhan's best friend somehow convinced Drona to fight in the war.  

Soon the army of Hastinapur reached the outskirts of Panchala where they witnessed the vast army of Drupad.

Yuvraj Satyajit and Kumari Shikhandini were ready with their weapons.

The fight began and it was quite easy for Drupad and his elder children to held the Kauravas including hostage excluding Duryodhan and Karna.

But Drona was a different blood. Drupad first felt waves of betrayal seeing his best friend fighting against him just for putramoha. His weapons fell weak upon facing him. He was really hurt. Seeing this opportunity ashwathama attacked him making him fall from his horse. This angered both Satyajit and Shikhandini and they were about to give him a good less-

"STOP YOU COWARD!" Sitting on the back of Veer, just like a strong gust of wind, came the flame of fire. With her bow named Agni, showered arrows that landed straight infront if the feet of Drupad, Satyajit, Shikhandini and Dronacharya as a gesture of offering her utmost respect. Soon the petite figure came into vision.

" You call yourself a warrior and do such type of cowardly things, Bhrata Ashwathama?!"

Every soldier of Panchala army smiled upon witnessing the return of their Princess.

" Pranam Pitashree. Pranam jyesth. Pranam jiji. And lastly Pranam Acharya Drona!" She took everyone's blessings before speaking," I have taken an oath to become a shield of my Pitashree and each one of you face the wrath of YAGYASENI first"

Duryodhan came forward while lustfully eyeing her from head to toe. He had never seen such a beauty.

" Shut that pretty mouth of yours. Soon I will defeat your kingdom and make you mine, Druapadi." He said making her look at him with utmost disgust. This angered Drupad and Satyajit the came forward but we're eventually stopped by Druapadi.

Again looking towards the direction of the eldest Kauravas, she said," Try your skills Rajkumar. Fight with me
No one else needs to fight. If you win against this Agnisuta. You can take her."

Her every word made him scared a little. After sometime he spoke. I'm not skilled at archery, my friend Karn will fight from my side. Druapadi was a true warrior so she agreed. Everyone was worried but Druapadi knew what type of warrior she is.

The fight between the two archers began. Karna was indeed good but Druapadi was far better. Karna and everyone present their was surprised.

She was indeed a great warrior. Within a few minutes, she was successful in breaking his Vijay bow. That was granted to him by Suryadev. This made him realise, who Druapadi was.

" Now according to the condition made. I defeated your Mitra , Rajkumar. Either you go back or continue the war, your choice." Draupadi exclaimed in a teasing manner that was like adding salt to the wounds of Duryodhan.

" This war cannot be continued. I can't fight against my Mitra." Saying this Drona hugged Drupad . On seeing the situation get out hands , Duryodhan along with his army retreated towards Hastinapur.

Celebrations began to welcome Druapadi and news came that Dhristdyumn is arriving soon. Nd most importantly Duryodhan and his friends became a hot topic to joke on for the drupadeyas. They were laughing their ass off at their situation.

" Priya Drau, you should have clicked a picture of Duryodhan's face when you defeated his friend. It was worth making a frame outta it." Said Satyajit while laughing like a maniac.

" For sure Bhrata Satya. I was wondering from where do these Kuru princes get their courage from. I can't even understand till now, why people say Kuruvansh is famous for their warriors."

" Ofcourse Drau, they are. Just these Kauravas don't have any shame. Otherwise mahamahim Bhisma and Pandu Putras are the most valorious warriors in ARYAVRAT! But unfortunately last year, those five brothers along with their Mata died in a fire accident. Nd this was all a evil plan made by the Kauravas!"

Druapadi gasped upon hearing this. How can someone's heart be filled with so much poison.

" Bhrata...who were these pandu Putras? And their mata? Can you please tell me"

"Sure Drau, listen.
  The eldest pandava was the crown prince of Hastinapur, people called him Dharmaraj Yudhistir. The second eldest was vrikodar Bheem. Nd the third one was the greatest archer to ever exist. I don't doubt your skills Draupadi but If he was alive he would have defeated you!"

Druapadi nodded in acknowledgment. She never took pride in her skills. She didn't try to be the best, she always tried to be a  better version of herself.

" What was his name, Bhrata?"

" Kaunteya Arjun"
The name itself was enough to make her heart burst with an erruption of wild emotions. Unknowingly she got lost after hearing the name. ARJUN.
Just that one name was enough for her to go crazy. She couldn't understand what was happening with her heart. She was out of trance. Upon hearing his name, she went to a different world. She couldn't figure out these foreign emotions. Deep inside she felt like he was someone more than special for her. She felt a connection with him. Deep down something inside her heart said he was still ALIVE.
