Prologue-
~Something Wicked This Way Comes~
Year 1653
Sakshi sat by the cliff holding the hand of the only man she ever loved or he would’ve fall. She could not just let go. He promised to marry her. HE PROMISED. She was still wearing that bridal dress and jewelry he brought for her. Veer Arjuna is not someone who goes back to his words. But it seemed like Arjuna didn’t wish to live anymore.
Sakshi: Hath math chodna Arjun. Tum gir jawge. Ye khai bohot gehda hai.
Arjuna smiled a sad smile. How he wished to love this silly Goddess? But it’s a twisted fate that he had to fall in love with a simple human girl and now that girl is dead. His Tridevi is dead. He had avenged her dead. Now he doesn’t wish to live in a world without her.
Arjuna: Maine jhuta wada kiya tha Devi. Aap mujhe jane dijiye.
Sakshi screamed in rage but kept her hold on Arjuna’s hand. She tried to pull him up. But how can you save someone who decided to die himself? With a last sigh Arjuna freed his hand from Sakshi’s and fell.
Sakshi just sat there motionlessly watching her love failing all over again.

(Jai Jai Bajrangbali
Tod de dushman ki nali)
Hey...Dha tuna tuna baaje danka
London ho ya Lanka
Goonje re chaaron ore
Hey...Dha tuna tuna baaje danka
London ho ya Lanka
Goonje re chaaron ore
Aap ki rahe anukampa
Na darr na hi shanka
Nachenge hum chor
Jogi chalaye koi jantar
Khilega tera antar
Sakshi turned to Karthik who was sitting in the high wall with her. With strong jaw and chiseled boyish face he was sure handsome. But those eyes were dead giveaway. No human could possess such power and wield it. Both were wearing black t-shirt with black jeans, biker’s jacket and boot.
Sakshi: So brother. What do you think? Ganesh will come here or not.
Karthik laughed a deep throaty laugh.
Karthik: You meant to say that you really didn’t notice that our dear brother who is actually beloved by already here to accept his offerings?
Sakshi’s eyes scanned the crowed and finally fell on a guy running towards the ocean chasing some criminal. karthik just sighed.
Karthik: Sometimes I just don’t understand. What is it with that spirit girl and you? I mean one spirit came to you asking help for her husband who is still mourning her. And you agreed. You don’t seem to be the one who bother with pesky things.
Sakshi: For a man who speaks so little, that was sure a long speech.
Karthik: But you didn’t answer my question.
Sakshi bent and whispered.
Sakshi: Secret. But I have to go now.
With that she took off the went running the opposite direction.
Karthik just stared at her retreated form and sighed.
Karthik: Queen of Hell is surely good at keeping secrets.
With those words he vanished into thin air leaving a peacock feather where he had been sitting.
