Shru,
I am gonna reserve now, because you know I have NO patience. 😆SO SO SO excited for this FF and thanks for bearing with me and keeping everything a suspense while you and Lann discussed!! 😆😳SO excited! 😃---Edited---Shru, Thank you so much for keeping the title a surprise! I LOVE the title!! 👏👏👏 It suits the theme and the concept of the FF brilliantly! 👏👏 I don't have to guess who the Dark Knight is - do I? 😉Absolutely love the setting in the 18th century and that is what got me interested in the story in the first place. So really looking forward to how all this unfolds. 😳To begin absolutely loved the quote in the beginning from Charles Dickens. I think it throws light on how this tale can be assumed to move forward though I know you are going to be surprising us with lot of twists and turns. 👏👏Loved the prologue Shru! Absolutely loved it! I could see it unfolding in front of my eyes and I was taken back to the 18th century. I could see Sanskaar chained and being tortured. Wonderfully described. Also loved how at the sound of Annapurna's voice, he looked up and whispered, 'Maa' - I believe the man is tortured physically, but mentally he is still strong. Especially if this torture has lasted for more than 2 years! A strong resilient Sanskaar - I am gonna love him!Loved Annapurna's character in the prologue. A strong fierce regal woman coming to fight for her son - Absolutely loved how she threatened Bagri into submission. Her towering persona well defined. I could see the dungeons, lightly lit where the woman stands strong over Bagri and on the other end is her son, chained, calling out for her. Brilliant! 👏👏 Though I wonder what took her two years to come free her son who I feel she does love dearly!You have outdone yourself Shru and I want more of this! I love historical narratives and this one is going to be brilliant, I can tell it. 😳Continue soon! 😊Lots of LoveAnnaP.S : Thanks for the mention! So much love! :*

I was so happy to see you res asap and reading these comments is making me burst with happiness especially after the excitement of the new OLVs and all! What a challenge it was to be secretive for me 🤣 but am I glad you liked the surprise and thank you for liking the title! No you don't have to guess who the Dark Knight is, my Sanskaar obsessed brain had to centre it around him after all.
I have so been wanting to bring that setting in so glad I finally found the courage to, thanks to some you! I am a HUGE Dickens fan. I have quoted ATOTC in a previous work too and actually gave away the ending assuming everyone must have read it but a reader hadn't 😆. I love that book and yes, I wanted that sort of feel to this. You know- there is angst but beauty in that too?
Phew re that Prologue. Am glad you liked it! I have always imagined those horrible conditions prisoners would be kept under in those days. In effect the torture was not constant over the 2 years as such but basically yes, he has been through hell in the past years and I'll reveal more as I proceed and basically also explain why it took so long to get him out. Basically that time period made speed with such things difficult and in this case, the crimes he is accused of are grave. Sanskaar here is incredibly strong, he is after all one of the finest soldiers they had and is also fuelled by more to keep him going.
I have discussed this type of Annapurna with Viji before and explored her in part in other work, notably Against All Odds (where she took a grey tinge too). I feel the one in the show wasted, she can be such a queen and here i want her to.
I am so touched by your words Anna, thank you again and I'll try to post Chapter 1 soon!
Love you lots,
xoxo
