beautiful put. i loved the way you portrayed all three of them in this one. the insights into this ragini, her insecurities, hatred love and fear of hatred, all amazingly portrayed. i saw some glimpses of the AP from the last chapter in her when she found the reality of laksh. AP's god too had feet of clay. it took her a while to realise that, wake up and do the right think, ragini isn't like that. she had reason to withhold the info until sanskar expertly wiggles it out of her tricking her, the only way it would have worked.

I'm glad you're enjoying it Sapna dear.😊
Yes, as SK too says in Icarus Ap and Ragini has some similarities to their personas. But this one is darker, she won't back out unless someone pushes her off that vile road. I tried to make sense with Ragini's mindset, I think it worked judging by your comment.
Thanks for the lovely words.
love,
Sakura

Dear Sakura,

Brilliant OS - you brought out Ragini's transformation so beautifully - it is so true - one does not become evil in an instant - there are numerous moments that over time gradually erode the goodness within oneself. And after sometime, there is no way of "knowing if the person who we think we are is at the core of our being. Are you a decent girl with the potential to someday become an evil monster, or are you an evil monster that thinks it's a decent girl?" (- Derek Landy, Death Bringer)

Ragini had drunk so deep of the poison that she cannot even feel a momentary pang of remorse, in fact she is sure that if asked she would do it all over again, without hesistation. And yet, she was taken aback when Swara asked "do you hate me so much?" And how ruthlessly she manipulated Swara. Superb backstory.👏

Nyna

Hi Nyna dear,
It's nice to know you found Ragini interesting. Can you believe I considered that quote for this one shot and later thought it gave away too much if I put it at the beginning and decided not to use it? Seriously it says all about Ragini here, the gradual change from angle to demon.
I tried my best with the back story, glad you liked it. Thank you so much dear😃
love,
Sakura

Icarus was my favourite and i really like reliving it through calypso.

Loved the first two OS on it. So you were trying to cover other pov. I am glad i still seem to remember it. I thought i might have to reread it. If i cant understand some part of it.

But i did. And i loved reading it. DP and AP realization about the husband she choose over her son. Lakshyaji guilt were well written in the first one.

And ofcourse Ragini insecruity,jealousy and her knowledge that Lakshyaji will always hate swara. Her determination to keep lakshya from never finding the truth because she never wants him to hate her.I loved reading it.

Do continue soon.

Hi Nita,
It's been a long time😊
I'm glad you could relive Icarus through Calypso and hopefully this will clear some things still misty in the skies of Icarus. Feel free to ask if you have any doubts dear. I'm thrilled to hear how interesting you found the first two OSs.
I will continue as soon as I can.
love,
Sakura

Heck Sakura...I always thought ragini's evilness was portrayed enough in Icarus but in this spinoff u have actually delved into her psyche...how can she be such a horrible person...and all her reasons for hating Swara are just so superficial...I can't justify any one of them...Swara had her entire childhood being ignored and hated by her dad whereas Ragini was super pampered but tht coddled baby couldn't even bear it tht Swara was appreciated for her inborn talent??

Laksh...another hateful character...but Ragini manipulated him too tho I dunno why I somehow can never sympathize with ppl who are taken in by other ppl's words rather than believing their own heart ... N here laksh is the one who killed n he knew it...yet he feels tht in pinning the blame on Swara it's justified coz she betrayed him??? Ragini is truly pure evil tht she could make him believe tht!!

Loved this OS!

Tas

Hi Tas,
Well yeah, there were so many evils lurking around in Icarus that if I had written it from third person, like winter tales it would have been so dark and bitter. No one saw this dark side of Ragini there, but it was always as it is now.
I don;t think any sister who would testify against her innocent sister would not be evil so you don;t have to sympathize with Ragini, she is pretty irksome I admit.
As for Lakshya, my thoughts on him when I wrote Icarus was very bitter, I guess he radiates the same taste in Calypso too. Perhaps in my next...which is still under construction he will be a little more positive.
I'm glad you loved it, Thank you so much.
love,
Sakura

Sakura 🤗 This is brilliant!! Icarus is one of my favorites. I think Calypso will top my favorites list. I had liked Ragini, until they turned her completely dark. She was a layered character. When I read through the chapter I could see the Ragini I had loved. The back story was brilliant. Loved it!!

HI Raksha dear🤗
So is calypso giving Icarus a competition? Interesting...
Yes, I loved that layered Ragini too, that was before she turned in to a living example of a troll. She had a potential in her own twisted way, I did try to bring out that Ragini. I'm so happy you could catch glimpse of what you loved.
Thank you so much dear.
love,
Sakura

Hi Sanya,
Thank you so much dear. It's so nice to here you like it this much. I do hope to cover most of the untold stories in Icarus so you will read some more POVs. But not all and Calypso has just two more shots to the end.
I hope you will enjoy them in future.
love,
Sakura

Thank you so much dear,
I am glad to know you felt so deeply moved at Swara's condition, but you can reassure yourself as at the end of Icarus she did find her happiness.
love,
Sakura
