Highest Ranking #2 Previously titled Rising From The Ashes This is a tale of the righteousness of evil and the treachery of good... Treachery, deceit and betrayal are as vital as oxygen to fulfil the destiny of the victorious. The empire of India, a perfect blend of cultures, traditions and bliss, captures the heart of every soul setting feet on its lands. And being born and brought up with the blood of their motherland roaming in their veins, Ashwarth and Svaksha posses a very special place for their India in their hearts. Their India! With its extreme eloquence, this region being predominantly ruled by two dynasties that are at anything but peace with each other was scarred by many eyes. Foreign invasions were a thing easily handled but, it always is the battle which ranged within that would bring about destruction, isn't it? Follow the flow of the mighty Vishwambara, from places where deceit has to be added as a daily dose with food and oxygen to survive and to places where one is ready to succumb to death to prove their loyalty. The land of India, where you never know who is going to stab you next, finds its destiny rewritten by its prospective rulers. But the fate of the victorious is written with the blood of the vanquished, isn't it? And the suppressed are either extremely right or entirely wrong. What if they are actual humans like us, who are neither the plastic models of extreme righteousness nor the pitch black epitomes of pure evil? There sure is difference between your evil and mine, isn't it? Cover credits: @All_AboutAssymetry

The greatest archer of the time❞ Derived from the Sanskrit word स्मरण (smaraṇa, "the act of remembrance, remembrance, reminiscence, recollection") which leads to the realization of that which is of the highest aspect and purpose in one's life, she shall be true to her name. Mahabharata a heroic tale of ancient times. It is the truth of life. What shall happen when a girl who has always been fantasized by the royal and colossal epic is fortunate to tumble in the era for a sojourn only to return back? It is her journey to learn and nourish the seed of dharma she has in her heart. After the cacophony of storms the trees get uprooted but the saplings stay rooted to the firm ground.
