Vajra : An elven tale SwaSan chapter 13 page 52 Updated 21/5/16 - Page 103

Where do I begin? Each time I read a chapter of yours, I sit down and try to summon adequate words to write hoping that maybe the next chapter would be a little easy for me. But you never give us any respite - each chapter seamlessly fits into the earlier ones and at the same time, you bring in another nuance, yet another hint of a further story to be told, a tantalising glimpse of more to come, leaving us poor mortals absolutely breathless and desperate for more. 👏👏

I seriously think your tale should come with a statutory warning "Capable of making you forgetting reality, read at your own risk" Fine by me, who gives a damn about reality when the elven magic beckons you?

Sanskaar slowly realising that maybe, he should not be casting the spell on Swara - the entrapment kind - I do not mind the enchantment one where they steal each other's hearts . Dida is feeling a little sorry for the role she played, guess this would set the way for a far more significant role that she would play in future. And then her words about Sanskaar's father - another tale in the offing.

Ragini - she is quite lost - agreed Lakshya was being ambivalent and ambiguous and vague and highly uncertain but still Ragini presumes he is talking about her??? That bubble will burst quite soon and will hurt.

So Lakshya has had two "rites" (for want of a better word, and I am sure that these two ''rites'' will lead to a 'wrong') performed on him - Sanskaar erases Lakshya's memory, which I think is a mistake for if Lakshya does not remember that he has a brother whom he loves more than the throne, how would he stop himself from killing Sanskaar? The second is by Annapurna - I presume that is to make him immune to any elven power so that she could use him to kill Sanskaar and claim Vajra and is also the cause of his memory loss? And as Lakshya would be the master of Aithne, this severing of his soul with his mind would somehow help him gain mastery over Aithne, I guess.

Finally, Pari is Agni's daughter - see one piece of the puzzle falls in place and you create two more. Does she even remember anything of her elven existence and is she aware of who Sanskaar is?

Sanskaar stating that loyalty must be earned and not forced is so true. And it is this act of Sanskaar that binds Agni so absolutely to him, so is it that having the Skia watch Annapurna is more of Agni's acting on his own suspicions.

And then the dream / vision - that could be what would happen to her when she is handed over to Annapurna. And the voice she hears asking her to let go, what does she hold (her ''eye'' is not a power that she can give up or give over, right?) and it happens after she falls for Sanskaar. And though I did not understand completely (a couple of readings should help me out) I loved Swara and Sanskaar here - it has something to do with him being an Oneiro, was he casting a ''cancellation dream'' to counter her vision? And he means it when he says that no one will hurt her. And the song he hums, is it the same one that his mother sang to him so many moons ago, when life had hope and he had his innocence?

I am now desperate for more!

Love,

Hi Saku dearest,

I just read your lovely update and if i didnt unres now, i might actually find myself unable to do so when i get caught up in my real world. So sorry for the brief comment in advance.

Oh how much i loved this update , words cant express. It was too good. Each character in your story make me feel either love or hate for them and i never thought the girl that died would be daughter of Agni. That was a shocker and pari was her sister and Sanskar is on the mission to save Pari as promised. Wow so much new information in one update, i can hardly process but loved it . I need to read Viji comments and your reply to unrerstand Lakshya character arc, so no one can predict what goes on his mind and Sanskar is still trusting him way too much. That going to become his biggest threat.

I loved the last scene way too much, Swara and Sanskar in one scene can make me feel so good, her indirectly accusing him of killing her and he assuring that he wont do so was too good. Will wait to read Sanskar POV. Loved Dida and her constant attempts to keep this two together.

Should i feel bad for Ragini or stay angry at Lakshya i dont know yet. Let see what Ragini does in the upcoming chapter and i will decide about that. I totally loved this update Saku dearest and love all the things you revealed in each part. Lakshya was innocent when he was young now he will be the villian due to AP. I so hate her. What is the key she is looking for i hope it never gets to her hand. Thanks for the PM dear and sorry for the breif comment. Hope my admiration for this update comes through inspite of me being short at words.

Love

Nita
