Shiv Pandav Vikramadhitya _ The Skywriter Of Chalukian Dynasty (Completed )

chapter 8

   Shravan and Ranjith were welcomed   to the fort with due respect. ..

Suman herself stood at entrance to receive shravan. ..

  Vela  stood rooted to see shravan face to face. ..though, shravan was an enemy,his bravery deeds were worshipped  by him. ..He always thought what if, the E. Chalukya prince would be a friend of him. ..His ability to lead the soldiers, his friendly approach, his fierce blow on enemies, ofcourse his handsome  appearance. ..were too attatractive to induce his wish to see him one day. .

the day has arrived today. ..Vela thanked god for not making a situation to face him at a war field as opponents. ..

His respective thoughts on shravan made him to forget what guruji had instructed....

Vela bowed in front of shravan ...at his knees ,by  placing his fisted right  hand  to his heart. ..His sword at Shravan's feet. ....which means he owe his life for shravan. ..

     Shravan understood his excitement and swiftly stepped back. ..guruji stepped forward. ..

" vela. ..I knew  that you respect me...vijayea bhava. ..(stay successful). .."

  
  Guruji wished him. ..Vela looked up and realised how he was about to ruin guruji ' s  instructions. ..

Guruji subtly motioned him to stay conscious. ..Vela nodded. ..

Suman grinned and she introduced vela to shravan. ..

Vela couldn't control him anymore though he was instructed about shravan and his identity. ..He was happy to know that their princess had lost her heart to shravan. ..moreover, he saw him as a saviour of their beloved princess. ..

Vela was taken aback to see his simplicity. ..his mind compared jayasimhan to shravan. ..

He hugged shravan relectantly, accusing himself to compare that beast with this gentleman. ..

" vela. ..you will remain as a best friend of mine. .. like Ranjith. .."

Ranjith hugged him. ..

Guruji sighed as if his burden had been taken off. ..

------------------------------------------------------

  Shravan  wasn't sure about the fort 's ability for a battle. ..He wanted to know the fort inside out. ..as he didn't know much about the other structures except the secret tunnel and Suman's chamber. ..

  Shravan teamed with vela and Ranjith to visit the entire fort. ..they were discussing about the possibility for success. ..

  There were only hundred and fifty soldiers. ..Vela had brought fifty cavelry men with him. ..as sum, they were only  two hundred ...

Since the fort was too tiny unlike the capital one, it couldn't accommodate more soldiers. ..moreover, necessary food and weapons hadn't been saved yet. ..

  Guruji appointed shravan as the leader  and vela, Ranjith as his commanders. ..

   Already the soldiers were dying to work under shravan. ..so it wasn't a difficult job for guruji to appoint him as a leader. ..
  

-----------------------------------------------------

    At lunch,  shravan started to discuss. ..

  " guruji. ..we got the information that jayasimhan would reach here within one week. ..we need to work faster to encounter him. .."

Guruji looked him with grin. ..
