Advertisement
Prince Laksh was sitting sadly in his room. His father Ram comes near him.
Ram: what?... you are always cheerful...and today sad???
Laksh: pitaji, I used to tell about a girl...
Ram: haa...Ragini. You were always dreaming about her, that you will meet her one day...
Laksh: yes...and I saw her today morning.
Ram: waah, then bring her soon son. Marry her. this palace is without women after your mother. Some laxmi has to come and lit lamps again in this palace...
Laksh: but pitaji, she can't come that easily. I can't win her....
Ram: Raakumar...do you really love her??
Laksh nods his head firmly.
Ram: then your love will surely win. Whoever it is... whatever comes in between your love, throw them all aside and gain her...
Laksh: but pitaji...she is...
Ram: I said know...I don't keep objection whoever it is... but that girl should also love you...by the way, who is she...
Laksh looks at Ram. Ram keeps looking at him.
Laksh: Ragini...
Ram: hey ramachandra, I know she is Ragini. But, who is she???
Laksh: Samragni devi...Ragini
Ram shocks with his words. then he start laughing.
Laksh: why are you laughing pitasri??
Ram: don't joke and tell me truth...
Laksh: Samragni Ragini devi herself is my dream goddess pitasri...
Ram falls down from chair. Laksh stands.
Ram: didn't you get any other girl to love? Why only Samragni? She is empress to this whole empire. And you are just a prince to the small kingdom within it... why she will love you??? Listen to my words, I will search a nice princess suitable to us.
Laksh: pitaji...I thought you will encourage me. But, you are discouraging me. Just now you said, whoever it is...whatever it is...
Ram slaps his cheeks once: sorry to tell that. Just forget her. we are her saamantha raaju. And let's be in our limit.
Says Ram and leaves. Laksh keeps thinking.
Laksh: why should I leave? I loved her before I could know that she is empress. I don't care whether she is empress or maid. I want my love...because I love her a lot and no one could love her more than me.
Next morning,
The sabha begins.
Empress Ragini will be coming towards the throne. All people stand and cheer,
"Ragini devi ki jai..."
She sits on the throne.
Adarsh starts the court everyday...
Adarsh: Samragni...some people from a village has come to say their misery...
Ragini: allow them...!
Adarsh calls them.
Some people come and stand before her.
"Maharaani, we don't have sufficient water to drink or for our daily recourses."
Ragini: we shall arrange canals to your place don't worry.

Next....
"Maharaani, thieves are more.."
Ragini: let's arrange something for that...
Ragini thinks for a while.
Ragini: both of the problems are from same kingdom. These kinds of small issues should be deal by local king. Why it's coming till us? That means, problems aren't solving properly. Who is the king of that kingdom??
Sanskar: samragni, it's king Nikil. He was against to you since you came to throne. He admitted that he is not ready to accept a lady as his superior...!
Courtiers are amazed.
Adarsh: what a proud fellow he is..! how can he underestimate our Ragini..!!
Ragini: if he doesn't like to be my subordinate, then ok. Remove him from that throne and a new king may placed.
All shock with her words.
Adarsh: Samragni, it's not correct. The huge revolution starts from other kings too. You can't remove him that easily, because they have been ruling since generations.
Ragini: so what? When someone turns against to emperor, he should be punished. That too, he neglected the kingdom and suffered the people.
Adarsh looks at Dp.
"O mahamantri, why are you silent? Explain your student that it's not correct."
Dp: I'm just her trainer. I can give her advices. But, I'm always a slave to the throne.
Adarsh: aahh... Ragini beta...think once again...
Ragini: Sanskar...!
Sanskar: yes empress...
Ragini: go with armed forces and occupy Nikil's kingdom. Let's make Swara as the queen to that kingdom.
Swara shocks with her decision. No one cheers to Ragini's decision. But, one voice raises.
"Jai ho Samragni devi Ragini... jai ho....."
All look at that voice. It's none other than Prince Laksh..!!
Ragini shocks looking at him. He is looking smilingly at her. Dp observes their facial expressions.
Adarsh: oh..the prince of south kingdom. Can you explain how it's correct? You are also a province king right....
Laksh comes to center of court. Ragini keeps looking at him without moving her eyes.
Laksh: suppressing the stupid is not at all wrong. Even, small kids will say that...
All laugh. Ragini smile.
Adarsh: but it creates problem...
Laksh: a hero never thinks about problems. His will power is greater than anything.
All praise Laksh's words. and all accept Ragini's decision. Adarsh also accepts.
Laksh: Samragni, I brought a small gift to present you. But, it's not fit in this door. So, it's waiting in garden.
Sanskar: what? A small gift which can't fit in door?
Laksh: please come Raani, you will know.
Ragini ends the court and goes into garden. Laksh shows an elephant. Ragini amazes and runs near it. The elephant raises it's trunk and plays with Ragini.
She happily looks at elephant then she remembers something.
Not four years back, Ragini and Laksh met once at childhood.

Laksh: princess, a gift for you...
He gives a small elephant toy.
Ragini: I want real elephant...
Laksh: when you will become real Samragni, then I will give...
Ragini comes out of her thoughts and looks at him. Laksh smiles and blinks his eyes. She smiles.
Dp observes their eye conversation...
Ragini keeps looking at Laksh happily. Adarsh just comes.
Adarsh: it's just an elephant..what's special in that? We have many in our palace...
Laksh puts his head down.
Ragini: chote papa, it's not important what the gift is... but, with how much love they gave.!
Laksh again raises his head in happiness and looks Ragini admiringly.
Adarsh: hmm...if you say, that's always accepted my princess....
He smiles and leaves...
Ragini: prince laksh, I liked your gift so much. Thank you so much. What name shall we put to it??
Laksh: Samragni, if you accept let's keep it's name as Lakshini....
Sanskar who was there looks shocked at Laksh...
Ragini: Lakshini...such a nice name. this elephant is Lakshini from today...
Laksh smiles and takes leave. Sanskar follows him.
Sanskar: prince Laksh, what a clever you are..! indirectly you have proposed empress...
Laksh: hey, when did I do..?
Sanskar: do you think I didn't observe? Lakshini... you have mixed your both names.
Laksh smiles: you are super Sanskar..! you should be next maha mantri.....
Both laughs..
Dp listens their convo. He is about to go near Ragini, Adarsh comes in way.
Adarsh: maha mantri, I have found groom for Ragini. It's prince Laksh. What's your opinion?
Dp: adarsh ji, this question better to be asked to Samragni. It's not me or you to decide, it's her life...
Dp keeps going. Adarsh looks confused.
Ragini is playing with elephant.
Dp: Samragni, when do you want senapati to send armed forces on king Nikil..?
Then Ragini comes to world.
Ragini: oh..i forgot about it. mamasri, was my decision wrong?
Dp: Ragini devi, you are not a kid. You should know what are you doing.
Ragini with confident tone: I know very well I'm not wrong. I'm with my decision.
Swara just comes: but Ragini, I'm not ready to be the queen to that kingdom.
Dp and Ragini looks at her.
Swara: how did you even think I can take that responsibility??
Ragini: why swara? You are a mathematician, even a warrior. There are qualities in you to be a king.
Swara: Ragini, you all are by blood kings. But I'm..
Ragini: No swara, it's not blood which makes you king. It's your own self..! Moreover, this society is occupied with male domination. Women are just treated as house bugs and birth machines. In such a situation it is important to prove this world what we can do..! The woman era now starts...
Dp: yes Swara beta. Whatever Ragini does, it has a purpose. We know her from childhood. And you are friends from years. If you have trust on your friend, accept this..!
Swara nods her head.
Laksh and Sanskar are sitting in a garden.
Sanskar: why do you love Samragni that much?
Laksh: don't ask me that. It happened first time I saw her.
Sanskar: do you think this love can happen? I don't think that will happen to me...
Laksh stands: don't think like that Sanskar. You will also be trapped one day..!!
Laksh laughs and leaves. Sanskar keeps thinking. Just then Swara comes. Her face is sad.
Sanskar keeps looking at her.
Sanskar: what happened to you?
Swara: we are friends from childhood right. That's why, I came to say my sorrow.
Sanskar: what's that??
Swara: I don't want to be the queen. I'm scared...!
Swara keeps crying. Sanskar feels sad while she is crying.
Sanskar: no swara..don't cry.
He says and hugs her gently. He feels loved when he hugged her. he remembers laksh's words. Swara keeps looking at him. Later she goes away.
Sanskar: oh my..that prince spoiled me too.
He smiles.
Ragini looks at sad Swara and comes near Sanskar.
Ragini: when are you going to occupy that Nikil's kingdom.
Sanskar: whenever you order...
Ragini: ok, go right now.
Sanskar: right now..! I'm in dreams.
Ragini: dreams??
Sanskar: hehehe..nothing. I will go.
Ragini: Sanskar..what I will go? Where is your mind? You didn't tell about plan, number of soldiers you are going to take. What's wrong with you? You are going on a war, not for dance. It's matter of lives. Be serious.
Sanskar: don't worry empress. I will discuss with senani everything.
Sanskar goes away. Ragini looks at him doubt.
Later Ragini and Dp meet. Ragini writes a warning letter to Nikil to accept his mistakes and promise the throne that he will obey his duties.
Ragini looks at the dove taking that letter.
Rag: he is finished if he doesn't take that warning.
Dp: it's better if we keep army ready.
Adarsh: you are encouraging her for war...!
Ragini: sometimes war is preferred to peace.
Later Ragini listens to elephant's noise. She goes near it.
Ragini smiles and feeds it food. Dp and Adarsh keeps looking at her.
Ragini: what Lakshini..are you hungry? Eat...
Elephant is eating.
Then she thinks.. "Lakshini, what's the meaning of it?" she keeps thinking. Then she gets enlightened.
"Laksh and ini from Ragini. That is Lakshini.... Awwww...prince laksh..!!" Ragini tights her hand in anger.

Giantslayer
Synopsis: Alain is a fledgling Giantslayer, enhanced individuals capable of killing deadly giants. But these giants are not big, they are what ancient humans would refer to as mundane animals or beasts. 'The Final Curse' as many humans call it, was a curse that shrunk down the entire human population to the size of small rodents. When the curse first occurred, the majority of the human population was eaten by beasts who are now of towering heights and sizes. But their abandoned gargantuan structures were not built for naught, the remaining humans retreated back into their now giant buildings and rebuild societies and nations inside of them. Follow Alain in his quest to right the wrongs done to his past and hunt down the elusive and mythical Elder Giants, giants capable of intellects and speech. Are they real? Alain certainly insists so despite no one believing him. But perhaps it did not matter, they were real enough to him for what they did to his family. A/N: I'm pretty new to writing creatively so I hope to improve as we move along the story. The prose I use is still fairly simple and 'plain', but I am also new to literature in general so I am hoping to improve my vocabulary as well. It should also come under no surprise that I am a non-native English speaker and writer as well. With that said, I do appreciate constructive feedback. Please don't be overly mean at least. All the chapters are rough drafts that will be edited in the future. The cover is by this user from pixiv: https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/4545042
