An excerpt from my book "The Last War & Other Stories" - The Last War, Chapter 3

An excerpt from my book "The Last War & Other Stories" The Last War, Chapter 3 Veerabhadra continued, “We have a secret sector near the Sindhu (Indus) river, where no one is allowed. It is heavily guarded. That is where the Devas regularly visit on their Vimanas (the celestial flying machines).” Agrasena interrupted, “And I thought that the Vimana of Asura Dashanana (The ten headed demon Ravana), thousands of years ago was a myth." Veerabhadra replied, “No, Lord Vishwakarma (The architect of the Gods) had built it for Lord Brahma who later gifted it to Kubera.” Agrasena said, “If the Devas are in our land and on our side, then why do they not help us directly?” Veerabhadra replied, “I don’t know the exact details, but what I overheard from various sources in the palace is that, the current rules and laws in Akash Ganga (the Milky Way galaxy) does not allow the use of Deivi Astras (Divine weapons) on Prithvi (planet Earth). However, they help us indirectly by giving us better life style, traditions, genetically improvised healthy food, knowledge of Ayurvedic medicines and surgery and many things. In fact, many generations back, Shushruta had mastered the Ayurvedic science of treatment and was the first to create a proper structure and discipline in this area."

An Excerpt from my book - "The Last War & Other Stories" from the main story "The Last war" - Chapter 2

An excerpt from my book "The Last War & Other Stories"
The Last War - Chapter 2

Charulata was surrounded from all sides by the swordsmen on foot. They were all attempting to kill her. Charulata used her sword swiftly and was able to defend their fatal blows. However, every now and then, they were able to penetrate her defence inflicting her with several wounds. She now had bruises all across her body. Her mouth was bleeding. She wiped her mouth from her hand and continued to fight. The Mayavi picked up another sword, and used both the swords together. Charulata could not defend herself completely from multiple attacks. One blow was straight on her neck. Charulata decked at the last minute. The sword caressed her neck, enough to cause a fine cut. She was now bleeding even more. Then she got another blow from the Mayavi and she fell on the ground. The Mayavi was eager to strike the last blow from the sword. Charulata was half unconscious by now. Her eyes were half closed. She knew it was all coming to an end. She still raised her sword with all her might. She remembered Agrasena, whom she loved so much. “Hope you were here now to help us,” she thought. Suddenly an arrow hit the Mayavi from behind. He was shocked and cried with pain. Before he could realise what had happened, he fell on the ground… dead. The other swordsmen were hit with successive arrows.

As Charulata lifted her head, she saw Agrasena riding the horse and aiming at the swordsmen with his bow and arrows. He quickly kept the bow across his arm, and rode straight towards Charulata. When he was close enough, Charulata weakly raised her hand. He immediately grabbed it and pulled her with all the force. He then, placed her on the horseback in front of him and rode away as quickly as he could.

Excerpt from my book "The Last War" Chapter 2

Excerpt from my book "The Last War" Chapter 2
The Gandharva army started the onslaught. As they approached closer to the walls, they clashed with the first line of the Hariapan defence that were positioned just outside the high walls. The Paurava army cried in unison “Har Har Mahadeva” (Lord Shiva resides in each one of us). As the two armies clashed, soldiers were being beheaded. Many of the Gandharvas were struck dead with the poisoned arrows launched from the bows of the warriors on the chariots of the Paurava ranks, while the horsemen butchered the on foot soldiers with swiftness of their swords. However, the force with which the Gandharva army attacked was nullifying the heroics of the Paurava army. The enemy was now well within the perimeter of the archers mounted on the walls. The Paurava army outside the walls fighting with the Gandharva army made sure they were closer to the walls enough to avoid the arrows of their own archers. This was like a bait. Charulata was waiting for this time. She ordered, “Now”. She shouted at the top of her voice. “Fire your arrows at will.” The order echoed across the perimeter of the wall. The archers raised their bow in unison and got in position that they had been practicing for a long time. Within a minute, swarms of arrows were seen originating from the high walls and hundreds of enemy soldiers and horsemen were hit and instantly died due to the deadly poison applied on the arrow heads that pierced into their bodies and mixed with the adrenalin rush of blood.
