《The Untended Endearment》Hidimba-7
Advertisement
We found a cave nearby and decided to take shelter in it and decided to spend our night here. I collected the raspberries and fresh fruits for them along with the elder brother, while Arjun and Sahdev are preparing beds to rest. The big man went to collect the woods. Nakul is collecting some wild herbs. Our time was spent in chit-chatting before we retired for the night.
All the while I drew more closely to these humans, especially towards their mother. The whole time Sahdev's eyes trailed on me with the same painful emotions that always make me uncomfortable. I chose to ignore thinking that maybe it is something else. I still regretted avoiding it.
I started forgetting my purpose with each passing moment. I want this journey to continue and never end. Unfortunately, the big man chooses to avoid me after our last argument. The other brothers formed an amazing bond with me still Sahdev keeps his distance. I realized something is stopping him from accepting me completely. He is worried about something inevitable. I made a mental note about asking about it to him later.
Our journey continued like this. I made up my mind that now I will let them go and show them the right path, unaware of the upcoming storm. Life and plans never go along with each other. No matter how many plans you may make, our life goes at its own pace. Things that are bound to be happening will always happen no matter what. That day was also one of those days when everything changed for me forever. Like any other day, we decided to rest for the night in a cave near the waterfall.
Her trance broke by the sound of something falling behind her. She turned to found her little one dropped the basket and corn and clutching her stomach feeling uncomfortable. The sweat forming on her forehead made her realize that she is in pain but controlling it for her sake."Harshini my little one are you okay? I told you not to pull a stunt. You are soon going to be a mother but still a child yourself. How are you going to take care of a child when you are so careless regarding yourself." She ranted in worry help her sit in the shadow of a large banyan tree. Harshini smiled at her grandmother's concern. She is so much loved in this Kamyaka forest for a reason.

"Look you are smiling. Now you will do what I will tell you to do. No more stunts anymore now onwards you will take care of yourself only and don't run here and there unnecessarily. Eat healthy food and live a routine life. Harshini are you listening to me. Keep my instructions in your mind. I won't accept any carelessness. You are getting naughty day by day. My love and pampering are spoiling you."
"Haww grandmother you will scold Harshini your little one and I am not naughty. I love you a lot grandma. Don't worry I will follow your every instruction carefully now sit and take a breath."
Both smiled at each other and looked back in the void in front. Only they both are left for each other in the name of the family. So it is pretty normal that their whole world lies in each other. One in any small problem or pain and others loosed their calm. This is their story, the story of a regal queen and a sweet princess. Two beautiful, extremely strong, and fiercely brave women. They never needed a man for their identity. They created one for themselves. In fact, they are the women who give identity to the man related to them. They don't need acceptance from anyone for them because they know their worth and they are extremely proud of it. Busy in their own trance they failed to realize that they are being watched. They kept gazing in the void thinking about their small existence in this large cosmos unaware that someone is watching them from a faraway land.

8 74Rage: Crisis / Consequence / ???
Its been ten years since Seth was given his powers, ten years since his town was driven mad by that very same power, and ten years since its source was shunted into his head. A species of energy beings, a people filled with regret for what their entrance onto this world caused. Regret for the deaths that town perpetuated, the devastation they brought, the blow they served to the once proud heroes of this world. Heroes Seth now hopes to join, hopes to heal and atone to for what transpired. But their wounds run deep, their ire sharp, and their acceptance thin. And to top it all off... Seth's power is run far deeper than he knows, and sees his world in a light all its own. This series is my first foray into authoring, with two parts out of at best four if the readership stands. But part three will still book end nicely otherwise. And I'm not stopping till then. It is action heavy with varied and ramping up fight scenes through out. (Book 1 is heavy / Book 2 a little lighter) It is bloody in places, mildly gory in others, and heavily gory in simulated places. Nothing truly horrifying, I think, but be warned. It has trauma. PTSD is a major part of the story, but I will never trust that I got it completely right, so your mileage may vary on how believable or impactful it is. Lastly it has language. Swearing ebbs and flows as the story progresses and attitudes harden or soften. Sometimes bleeding through into the narration... somehow.
