Fleeting Moments-Ramayan Oneshots

"Things end, but memories last forever."

Before he defeated Ravan, before he became the saviour of the world, before he sat upon the throne
of Kosala, Ram was a simple prince. Before his wife, Sita, was abducted, before he had to endure endless hardships, before he had to kill thousands of rakshasas, Ram was a mere boy. Before he was Raghuvanshi, Scion of Ikshvaku, Ruler of the most powerful state in Ancient India, Ram was just a son, a husband, and a brother to three.

So these are the moments before, before any of that happened. Moments where the four princes of Kosala could laugh without worry, moments where they could cry over the small things, moments where they could simply live without a burden on their shoulders. Moments when they could just be people.

And yet, as all happy memories do, these moments passed by like a fleeting car, never to be experienced, felt, or known again, just remaining embedded in the minds of whom they belonged.

After Ram defeated Ravan, after he ruled Kosala, after he became King, he remembered these moments with a smile. These are the memories which forever shall be remembered. These are the fleeting moments of the Ramayan.

Note-Uh, some of these do not match the blurb. "In a Tree" is not a happy chapter.
