Inspired by author Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni's much sought-after and beguiling book, "The Palace of Illusions", this is a short episode reconstructed with my fanciful imagination that dares to explore the dark yet delectable alleys of the mind of one of the most formidable women characters of the epic saga, Mahabharat- Draupadi. 


(P. S. ~ This piece of imagination means no disrespect to anyone's religious or personal sentiments. For those who might find it triggering, I humbly apologize beforehand.)

"He was never meant to be hers, but she'll break the world to make it so". ~ ~ Kashvi Sharma ~ ~ She has never begged. She has never known the taste of rejection, the sting of defeat, or the ache of longing-until she saw him. She isn't the kind of woman to fall. She hunts. She takes what she wants, and she never asks twice. But Vardhaan? He is the only thing she has ever truly desired. At 23, she is a name spoken in whispers, the leader of an empire built on blood and power. Beautiful. Ruthless. Unstoppable. A queen who bows to no one. ~ ~ Vardhaan Tripathi ~ ~ A man who isn't meant to be owned. A man who builds empires with a signature and destroys legacies with a whisper. A man who walks through life untouched, uninterested, and immune to the idea of love. At 27, Vardhaan has spent years crafting his empire, turning his wealth into a legacy untouchable by any force. He has been chased by women, feared by men, and respected by those who know he does not play games. ° ° ° And yet, Kashvi is a storm he never saw coming. A woman who doesn't understand the word 'no.' A woman who doesn't just want his love-she demands his soul. "You don't love me, Kashvi." "I don't love, Vardhaan. I claim." What starts as a dangerous obsession turns into a war of control. He refuses. She persists. He resists. She ensnares. She chases, he resists. She controls, he defies. But when the lines blur and Vardhaan starts to fall-will it be love, or will it be war? " Not all love stories are soft. Some are dark. Some are deadly. "

How she reached from Kaliyug to Dwapar yug and why? Many more things are running through her mind and all she got from the mortal disguise of Lord Narayan, Krishna is, "Tum etihas ka hissa nahi balki etihas rachne aayi ho. Apni vaggya ka racaita tum khud ho. " (You're not part of the history. Rather you have come to create the history. You're the writer of your own destiny.) *********** Familiar with the Mahabharat? Don't worry if you're not. I've added a short description of the original Mahabharat plot in the book for those. This story will follow the original mahabharat storyline but in a vastly different way with a lot of twists and events in my style. 😉 I'm aware Mahabharat holds religious sentiments for some and I do not INTEND to offend anyone. This is for entertainment purpose only. So don't get serious or offended please. And I apologise in advance if you feel hurt by any content of the book.

Haunted by vivid dreams and whispers of her forgotten identity, Chitra is caught between her royal duties, her training as a warrior, and the mysteries that call her from the depths of her soul. Guided by her wise yet mischievous brother Krishna and her loyal companion Mina, Chitra embarks on a journey to uncover the meaning behind her dreams. But destiny has its plans. When the realm is thrown into chaos and powerful forces begin to stir, Chitra's path crosses with that of Arjun, a young warrior from the Kuru dynasty, whose ideals and courage challenge everything she thought she knew. Together, they are drawn into a web of intrigue, danger, and forbidden truths as they race to discover secrets hidden in both the waking world and the dream realm. As alliances form and rivalries ignite, Chitra must embrace her true identity and confront a destiny larger than she could have ever imagined. In this tale of courage, love, and self-discovery, the lines between dreams and reality blur, and the choices of one woman may change the fate of an entire world.
