We were still on the roof, the winter sun shining upon us as we sat close to the wall.
The girl with the full covered mask introduced herself as Trijya and the other one introduced her as Rashi, both of them had athletic body and were perhaps my age.
My mom told me that thought a spell that was given to her by some old magic performed using Kunti's spell, Kunti you see had a spell with that she could ask for a child from the God's as blessing and they granted it. I didn't ask much, wasn't really interested in knowing how i was conceived however my mother assured that she've never even meet Shiva. I was born from pure light that fell on her hands as she completed the spell and with a vist from the messenger of gods Narad Muni she knew about these things more and found the spell to ask help.
After my conversation with my mother and sitting there for about half an hour i found out that I've to learn to protect myself and to do so must go to Gurukul, which is also the place where my help came from.
Trijya finely got her armoured mask off and what i behold was the girl with eyes brighter than sun and a face with perfectly tooned skin.
Her hair was bound even though it was just shoulder length. I didn't had any control over my mouth as i said " you look like a shining sun" but her replying blush was enough to get me out of all the rest my working senses.
But it was Rashi of answered "that's cause she's the Daughter of the Sun God Suryadev"
Rashi also had her mask off and was looking well , where Trijya was the Sun Rashi was more of ice or water. Her hair even shorter than Trijya's. Face as another mask no smile or emotion showing.
As she noticed me staring at her she said "I'm the daughter of Ganga the goddess of the River Ganga" i obviously replied with nice to meet you.
After another half an hour of talking and planing we decided that I'll leave for Gurukul with them tomorrow morning and they were both to stay at our house.
At dinner i found out that when not talked to both girl were expert at staying silent.
The night was bad, dreams or visions i didn't know but it was all i had and got very less of sleep but about midnight when i was again trying to fall asleep or was asleep i found myself on a cold mountain and before me was my father.
Shiva looked Divine as he should i couldn't remember any details of his appearance as it was too much but he did told me
"Your journey defines your destiny and your choices define your destiny" handing me an bow he said " use it wisely it might be the only time we meet as father and son"
And this time i didn't wake up until morning and had dreamless sleep.
