In the shadow of a legendary feud, where ancient rivalries simmer, a hidden truth awaits. Beneath the surface of animosity and pride, a tangles web of emotions threatens to upend the fate of sworn enemies.
As the winds of destiny sweep them towards...
"bhratashree, what is the guarantee of you being correct too?"
"stop you both, Sahadeva and Nakula"
"but bhrata bheem"
"bhratashree, you tell!"
The rain stopped in the afternoon making all of them to come out of the cave as they wander inside th forest, occasionally taking breaks while talking maong themselves without feeling any caution, alertness or uncomfortable with each other until they found the split of the path making them confuse to go on which path.
"there is a waterfall near" Among all the bickering a voice cut off as they look towards duryodhana who is going between the trees making them all follow too as they all hear the sound of waterfall increasing by each step.
Putting the leaves aside, they all found themselves in front of a big waterfall with beautiful surroundings.

"it is so beautiful"
"and big too"
"there must be a secret passage too" Duryodhana muttered as Arjuna asked "how do you know that?" to which duryodhana reply "Karna said 'if there is a waterfall then there must be a passage near too'. It is from his experience. He has spent his childhood in nature with his Gurudev"
The Pandavas nodded, already knowing that karna is Bhagwan Parashuram's Shishya beside With their experience, it is obvious to know that karna loves nature very much as he find solace and peace which has no denying even.
"the water is so clean and fresh, should I jump?" Nakula asked before jumping, without even waiting for anyone's response as his brothers watch him like it is normal until duryodhana came saying "you do know, that we don't have extra clothes here, right?" before going to wander around leaving nakula with a look of horror while his brothers looking at nakula with done face.
"I......forgot........" Only two words came out of nakula's mouth but anyone can feel the horror behind the sentence as they said they will find something before going leaving nakula under the water while duryodhana walking around, maybe trying to find the passage.
After wandering for a while, duryodhana walked towards nakula who is still under the water till his waist as he notice duryodhana coming towards him making him speak sarcastically "you really said that pretty early" only to duryodhana shrug casually while saying "I thought you are intelligent" as nakula narrowed his eyes "are we doing this right now?"
Silently going forward, duryodhana sat on the edge of rock, dipping his feet his water before saying "though it will got dry once you walk since the sun is here-" making both of them look at the sky only to find clouds as duryodhana continued "-and wind"
"go on, it will be dry while walking. It won't if you sat in there"
Thinking for a while, nakula step out of the water as he walk around while duryodhana just sat on the rock before he hears nakula saying "by the way do you-" only to get cut off by duryodhana's coughing as he rub his chest before feeling a hand on his back, rubbing it soothingly but for some reason it is not making him feel soothe.
"I [COUGH] am [COUGH] I am okay"
"yeah - yeah" Nakula says mockingly, continuing rubbing duryodhana's back who is lightly gasping from chest pain while coughing making nakula again remember that the fact karna came to Maaya Sarovar in the first place is the medicine for duryodhana.
After a while duryodhana's coughing stopped as nakula also removed his hand fro duryodhana's back while duryodhana turned his face away and nakula knows it clearly because duryodhana's ego says 'How dare he let his enemy see his vulnerability!' still not understanding that they have no against plan for him.
Looking down, nakula found his dhoti dry making him happy before a loud roar broke in the silence of nature followed by several howls though it stopped after a while as he look around, muttering "there is no passage here" only to hear duryodhana saying "the passage is near the waterfall not between the trees"
Though as much as nakula does not want to listen right now, he still turn towards waterfall, ready to check, stopping when he notice his brothers coming back as he asks "found anything?" only for them to chake their head a nakula sighs while duryodhana also get up from the rock, asking "what are we going to do now?"
"maybe stay here"
"are you sure?" Sahadeva asks, looking past Arjuna who turn around to look behind including everyone only to have their eyes widen when they watch cackle of hyenas walking towards them before they hear a roar, turning left in shock, they found a single lion walking towards the cackle...........it seems there is a fight about to start but any of those animals saw them then-
"should we run?"
"shouldn't we?"
"this is a forest,Once you started fighting then keep fighting"
"true and we definitely can't afford to get any of us injured"
"and those hyenas are looking at us like we are their food, including this lion........"
"well, we are standing in between their fight so........"
"RUN!!!"
Just by one shout of Nakula, everyone started running not knowing where they are running as duryodhana went behind the waterfall, into the narrow passage as he hear footsteps from behind before stopping to take deep breaths but yelled one e he turn around only to find bhima there.
"where are they?"
Bhima look up before looking behind, not finding any of them as he look at duryodhana who is grabbing his own head like he has an headache.
"they all are warrior, they can take care of themselves. We should towards the other end, after that we will try to find them"
"you all are giving me headache" Duryodhana muttered before he watch bhima walking more into the narrow passage as he also went behind.........having no other choice, of course.
They both for a long time until they reached to an area where there are ice spikes both above and down making them walk carefully until duryodhana got caught between five long spikes surrounding him and two above, right near his head.......one move and his head would be very quickly done by nature.
He was about to cross over it by taking risk but before he could, bhima came punching the front ice spike, breaking it into pieces as duryodhana felt his one leg can move now, so he took a step forward only to stumble by his one caught leg while he fall down on his face.
Expecting to get hurt, duryodhana closed his eyes but opened it once he felt no rock or ground under him, only to back off immediately and scream when he realised what was feeling of light touch on his face and the feeling of no ground under hos body...................Some tell him, it is a nightmare.........even lie just for his sanity........please.
