"Very well played, your majesty. Now very soon we will be able to capture Suryaketu, tie the Suryavir vanshaj (family/generation) in chains and you will become extremely powerful." Pitamabra states it unhesitatingly to Asrasya.

"Hmm...maybe, but we shall not forget about the boon given to Aeindri. And the prophecy......"

".........don't know why, but it seems intimidating."Asrasya completes his sentence.

"Father, you called me. May i come in?"The child stands at his father's room's doorstep asking for permission to enter.

"Lavan, come here son. How has the training today with Varenji?"Asrasya asks his son.

"It was really tiring father...."Lavan tells his father with an audible sigh in his voice.

"Why do I have to learn how to jalsabh (burn things around me)? It pains my body a lot. Princes learn how to climb mountains, use swords and other weapons and do other interesting physical activity........"

Slap.

"How dare you question me about what you should do and should not? You think I am training you to be an eligible suitor for a princess? Listen to me boy, it is a power given to us by Aditya Narayana (hindu god of sun) which is much stronger than any weapon. You must learn to master it. Understand? Get that in your thick skull! You may retire to your chambers."Asrasya barks at the shaking figure in front of him.

"Seems like I have to speak to Varenji myself.......I guess he is too lenient."Lavan hears his father saying while going to his chambers.

"You shall suffer for this, one day father."
