Hello Guys,
This is Sayee,

I have been following the show regularly & I am in love with the characters. So here is my new ff..

The Legend of Arrow

Plot : During the time of Swayamvar when Ram broke the bow, Parshuram comes angered and ready to kill him. But in the end he earned humility from Ram when he strung The Vishnu Bow also & mounted an arrow on it.

"Parasurama was stunned by the youth that stood in front of him and at the same time, he felt ashamed of himself. He looked at Rama more carefully and, at once, saw the brilliance emanating from his face. One look at Rama's lotus petal shaped eyes and Parasurama realized he was looking at Vishnu Himself. To confirm, he handed his own bow that was slung across his shoulder to Rama, and said, "This is the bow of Vishnu, the brother of the bow that you broke. Take it and let's see if you can place an arrow on it after stringing it". Rama bowed and gladly took the bow. With casual ease, he uncoiled the string from around the bow, strung it and notched an arrow.
Parasurama knew now that it was indeed the Preserver, the Being of whom he himself was a part, who stood in front of him in the form of the boy called Rama. Realizing that Rama was unaware of his own true self, Parasurama said, "Rama! You are no ordinary mortal. You are destined for greatness. Forgive me for my temper. It is I who has sinned by wishing to punish You."
Rama still had the arrow notched to the bow.
"Great sage, you know that an arrow, once nocked to the great bow of Vishnu, must be directed towards a target. I will not commit the sin of slaying a brahmin. Hence, I must either destroy the merit you have earned through your severe penances or your power of locomotion at mind's speed. Which will it be?", asked Rama.
The smile of enlightened humility spread across Parasurama's ancient face.
"Pray, do not rid me of my powers of locomotion, which I need to traverse back to my abode in Mahendra Mountain, for I am forbidden to spend even a day on Earth by Kashyapa. Destroy, instead, the merits of my penance."
Rama uttered an incantation by which the arrow became a beam of light which he released."

For centuries the light beam released by Rama has been buried deep under the bowels of the earth where Mithila stood, ready to be used, ready to be tested & to be used to its full potential.
Many secret societies were created just to look for it some to safeguard & some for the ill use of it.

Chapter 1

Ajodhayan Hills,


"first left than right, than right than left...than again left than right" he climbed huffing out breath, & adjusting the weight on his shoulders.

Bharat turned and saw Shatrughan doing this, a small smile graced his lips. But they were getting late.

"Shatrughan" he said in a stern voice, although it was just a try because the next moment when Shatrughan looked upto him with puppy eyes everything faded from Bharat's mind, the smile replaced and he tenderly said,

"Climb fast Ram bhaiya is waiting for us" and he started climbing the stairs.

"Baiyya, why do we have to live in a palace, we could simply live in a small cottage" Shatrughan cribbed

Bharat smiled & said " you always ask this question even when you were kid, and the moment we even think of shifting you are the first one to oppose it."

Shatrughan looked at him sheepishly, Bharat ruffled his hair affectionately.

five more steps & they were in the landing, Lakshman stood there waiting for them, a small nod between the three & they started walking towards the conference room. They entered quietly, the scene greeting them was the same as always, Vashishth Guru was sitting in the high stool deep in meditation, & Ram Bhaiyya was sitting opposite him in the far end of the room busy looking over some texts.

"Ram Bhaiyya" Bharat whispered, Ram looked up, the eyes which were filled with worry were replaced with happiness.

"Bharat" he said with relief, and kept a hand on his shoulder, and then regained his composure, they both nodded at each other, Bharat moved and started taking out things from his backpack.

Next was Shatrughan, an ever present smile graced on his lips, "Bhaiyya" he practically shouted, and leaps into Ram's embrace, forcing them to topple but somehow stood on their ground.

"Shatrughan" both Lakshman & Bharat chided at the same time looking over to see whether Guru Vashishth got disturbed or not. No he was not disturbed.

Shatrughan continued but now in a slower tone "The journey was awesome bhaiyya, mission accomplished" he said and he started explaining like a kid returning from his first day of school would explain. Ram looked at him affectionately and patiently listened, Bharat also added a bit here & there, Lakshman took Shatrughan's backpack & started emptying its things.

" Although, we encountered Daityas in between " Shatrughan said without thinking.

There was a moment of Pin drop silence, Ram looked alarmed, lakshman's face contorted angrily he was holding Shatrughan's bag so tightly that Bharat feared a vein would burst in his hands. And then all hell broke loose.

"Shatrughan" Bharat chided,

"WHAT" both Ram & Lakshman shouted,

Forgetting the fact that someone was meditating (:p) , Shatrughan looked guiltily towards Bharat sending a silent apology to him.

Ram quickly went into his protective mode,

"Are you both OK, you aren't hurt right" and he started checking both of them for injuries,

"We are OK bhaiyya" Bharat said, simultaneously Lakshman started blabbering in fury "I am going to kill those good for nothing Daityas"

"You are going to do no such thing" Came Vashishtha's voice from beside them, all of them calmed down seeing his presence.

" Now listen to me clearly, we are going to have guests, over by this evening" Vashishtha said.

There ears perked up, "Guest?" Ram questioned

Vashishtha nodded "The Janakas are arriving this evening"
