Water to The Fire - Pandava x Reader - A Mahabharata Fanfiction

Prolog

You were only seven years old when the unthinkable happened - your parents perished in a terrible accident, leaving you alone in the world with no one to care for you. Lost and afraid, you wandered the streets not knowing where to go or what would become of you.

Days passed in a blur of hunger and exhaustion, until one fateful morning you were snatched up by slave traders who saw your emaciated form as an opportunity to make profit. Bound and terrified, you were brought to the slave markets, weighed and examined like livestock as cries to sell your empty shell of a body rang out.

It was then that Lord Bhisma arrived, ever vigilant in patrolling the outskirts of the kingdom for injustice. His aged eyes fell upon your tiny shivering form with a sharp intake of breath, feeling deep pity stir within. Without hesitation, he purchased your freedom, scooping you up in strong arms despite your protests.

"Be at peace little one, you are safe now" he soothed. From that moment, your new father Bhisma took you into his palace, nursing you back to health and raising you as his own. Under his gentle care and guidance, the years passed in comfort, and you regained your childhood.

It was around your twelfth year that you first met the Pandava brothers, who had recently returned to Hastinapur after the untimely death of their father Pandu. Though they were princes and you a lowly orphan, the brothers welcomed you as family, drawn to your kind spirit. Especially Arjuna, who was of a similar age, quickly regarded you as his closest companion and confidant.

And so began your new life within the palace walls, bonded to these brothers by threads of fate you did not yet understand. Little did you know how deeply their lives would become intertwined with your own.

Hey guys!

so, this is actually not my first fanfiction, but it is the first one that i published. 

I know, i know, why a Pandava fanfiction now?

it's been years since the viral tv show in 2013, These days I've been feeling nostalgic and decided to review the old fanfiction that i wrote. Now, this is the more mature, more edited version, so, just enjoy!

Ps. Please forgive any mistakes in words or sentences, English is not my language. I wrote this fanfiction with my limited knowledge and sourced from the internet. I first fell in love with this story when I watched the Mahabharata series in 2013. So please forgive any mistakes, or feel free to help correct my work. I hope you can enjoy it. This is just my imagination of what it would be like if 'I' were in that story :)
