These are the stories from millennia ago, when the humans had first settled in the land of the Seven Rivers, when the strife between the Devas and Asuras built up and gods and goddesses descended to the earth in various forms to restore harmony. 

These are the stories of the most cherished female incarnations, signifying triumph over evil and a woman's way of dealing with problems that even the greatest of the gods couldn't solve. 

These are the stories of the ancient Indian goddesses and heroines who wielded weapons, used their wit and seduced their way to glory.

AgniBela-Fires of Fate,Tides of Destiny by niviness

In the kingdom of Indeevaram, where only those of royal blood wield power beyond mortal reach, a prophecy once tore two souls apart. Twin daughters of the throne were born under an ill-fated moon, their bond severed before they could even utter each other's names. One was chosen, raised in the palace as the kingdom's pride. The other was cast away, forgotten by all-except fate itself. Years passed, and the world whispered their names once more-Agnishikha and Bela. One, a flame that could reduce empires to ash. The other, a tide that could drown kingdoms in its wake. Now, standing at the precipice of destiny, they are no longer just sisters but rivals. For the warrior-king Vashishth, ruler of Aahalya, seeks his fated queen. The prophecy does not name her, only that one among them shall take his side. The other must let go. But when fire meets water, neither surrenders easily. The choice would be made. One would wear the crown beside Vashishth. The other would walk away. But neither was willing to be forgotten again.
