Saura,

So I was kind of right... Sanskar was pushing Swara away to save her... He has Megha and Mohan as Allies now... Wicked Oneiro confused the eye! 👏
Sanskar had a deal with Megha, so he is going to fight Laksh now? But Aithne belongs to Sanskar, so there's a chance of mishap?

I pity for Swara,, the so called charm has broken, but the girl is caught in spells of ardour...

Overall thrilling part. Sorry for late. Caught in a clichd story in wattpad and my own stupid ff.

Love,
Dyuti

Dyuti dear,
I'll get back to you with a detailed revert, for now just clearing a confusion. Aithne doesn't belong to Sanskar, he pulled it out and had kept it for some years not letting it find a master. As for the moment it is master - less. so no chance of sword betraying Lakshya or stuff like that.😊

But thank u for this much needed recap for my short term memory brain..it was good to revisit n remember initial parts again..thank u..

My Dearest Saku 🤗🤗

This tale truly is so epic. It's a wonderful expression of your imagination and creativity and I had an absolutely spellbinding time, reading and re reading through the recent chapters.

The way you have interwoven interactions across different time periods and places---simply amazing. 👏👏 The Ram--Aruna interactions in the past, the Sanskaar---Swara interaction in the present. Superb parallel there, between 2 couples who both find their soulmate amid extremely trying circumstances.

So Annapurna was not just betrothed to Nithya, madly in love with him as well, despite his evil ways. Any chance Lucky is actually Nithya's son and not Ram's? 😉😊

Aruna and Ram's pain upon the decisions and compromises forced on them by fate...beautifully portrayed. As was the way Swara saves Sanskaar by reaching out to the Herz. Sanskaar's lowering of his guard, showing Swara what had happened at that spot when he was a 13 year old, was superb too. Truly, the explosive temper and determined energy of the Vajra, married to the calm and cold calculativeness of a Naga, makes for an explosive combo.😊

Suvanna is playing her own game with Lucky...who is obviously, not as innocent as a gambolling lamb nor as blank as the blank bloke he pretended to be. 😉 He is charged to bring the changeling Ragini back to his mother, Suvanna wants to use him in the events at Asanibhavan to gain that power and triumph over Pratula, that recognition from her contemptuous and cold father which she always craved, right from childhood. God, the wounds which uncaring parents like Pratula inflict on their children...🤢😡

Suvanna has passed Lakshya the maleficent Aithne...always keen to take over the mind of the person who wields it. Always keen for blood. Sanskaar could resist it, prevent it from corrupting his mind. Lucky...don't think he would manage. 😕

So Yuvraj Sunny tried to distance himself from Swara, pushed her away by pretending he was just playing her all along. But Swara sees through that in the end. 😉 And refuses to leave his side. Their mutual pull towards each other, their individual realization that the other person has become very special, that they find it difficult to conceive of an existence without the other, was deftly portrayed. 👏

And your weaving in of Sujata alias Kalindi, was a masterstroke.👏👏 Hats off for weaving that story arc in. So Aryaman and Annapurna were upto their wiles long back? Even then, they (or at least Aryaman) were staging pretend attempts on Lakshya's life, trying to implicate and remove impediments to Lakshya becoming ruler. Wish Ram would have just given in to his anger and killed Aryaman. 😡


Waiting eagerly for the next chapter. 😊


Loads of Love

Vajra - Chapter 19A

The Crack in his Armour - I

Shobha does know more than she lets on, she suspects Annapurna's hand behind Sanskaar's disappearance, not the cause but rather the reason. And I loved what she wrote in her book (though the credit should go to you)., it is so profound, most of us are convinced that our journeys are unique, our battles are different and our scars are sacred and that we will be immortal when compared to others, not knowing or rather not caring about the others we meet in our journey called life. Maybe we only we had a little wonder, a little curiosity and a little less self absorption, the world would be a different place.

Suvanna, is not as immune to emotions as she would like to be, it did hurt that Laksh was able to see her beyond Ragini's face. And as she says, circumstances change, people change and when they do their choices change, which is why we would soon see brother against brother, power against ambition and choice against chance.

The glimpse of the past -was a sighting of what we want and what we end up with - Ram and Aruna, neither wanted the throne nor the kingdom, but ended up with both a throne and a kingdom and losing each other. And Annapurna,who I remember dreamt of being the queen ends up being the wife in waiting. Guess that is when she starts the plan - she would be what she was intended to be or rather, her son would be.

And Agni rightly guessed the intent of the Queen Reagent, did he not?

And the transformation of Sujata to Kalindi (I just love this name, it evokes a very mystic and a shivery feeling, a nice one though) and quite prophetic. Twice, Aruna saves Sujata and in turn, it would end up saving Sanskaar and in a way, even Laksh, which is quite ironic for Sujata has been accused of the crime of attempting to kill him.

One more thing - Ram promises that he would be Aruna's only and she is adamant that she would never be queen, yet, in the end both of them seemed to have stepped down from their stance, guess we have to wait for a few more chapters for this clarity.

In the beginning, I felt the crack was a reference to Sanskaar, but now I think it alludes to Laksh or maybe Ram...

Vajra Chapter 19B

Old Wounds run deep

The dream in the start - it was an indication of a time to come, of a possibility that they have a future, could be, right, why else would Sanskaar say, "I nearly died here"?

Okay, I should not write as I read, I did get my answer a little more into the chapter. So when Swara is in the real world, he is visualising them in that dream world, of snow and memories of Kavita who reminds him that there is someone out there who deserves his love. And as he relives what he considers his worst moment he realises that he regrets what he has done and does not wish her to leave him.

Now I have another question, Swara is able to understand his emotions? Does she hear his pain, his desperation, his need to be loved when he calls her "Shona". I would like to think he does, which is why she willingly chooses to be bound to the Hertz and through it to Him.


Well, I sort of got it right, Annapurna did "change" the moment Nithya was killed and she was forced to marry Ram to be the wife in waiting to the Vajra King. But was what the priestess said, a hint of something deep and dark or merely an advice that Annapurna could keep the memory of the prince alive?

And as Agni guessed, Annapurna did shield the kingdom so that Sanskaar could not reach the Hertz, but then mysterious are the ways of destiny and strange are the ways of men(and women) whether they are elves or human.

And as I wrote earlier, Spring is coming, for the Hertz is in bloom. I really cannot say how wonderful it felt reading it, my heart literally sang with joy, when I first read it and now when I am re-reading it.

Vajra Chapter 20A In the Heart of the Heart

Okay, the dream did not seem so nice when they woke up. Swara has a rude awakening, the sinking knowledge that she had been under Sanskaar's spell all this time and was now bound to him through the Hertz. So though distance rules them now again, Sanskaar cannot stop thinking of her.

Suvanna and Laksh, so that is how she got Aithne, Ragini stole it for her? Ragini a weak shadow of her former self (not that much of hers was there in the first place, killing her sister did indeed destroy her) and is still wistful that Laksh, a good person, should not change. Was that a lament for the good person she could have been if she had not killed her sister? I have told you before and I shall tell you again, Suvanna fills me with a very reluctant admiration. Her meticulous planning, her single mindedness, her introspection and her acceptance that what has to be done has to be done. Once the choice has been made, she has to continue on that path.

Pratula is afraid of being killed the way his father was, by his own hands. Omnious, I guess he will die in Laksh's hands. But that way, since the Aithne has tasted blood, would it make Laksh his master, or is it the other way around? And this way Suvanna would become the queen, or that is what she feels. But if her father is killed she would have the pleasure of having him watch her be the Queen?

And the emulations begin, setting the stage for the beginning - where it all started, the battle and the face off between the brothers.

Vajra Chapter 20B

Another nightmare / vision to start off. Which again, once I read the full story, is a dream, one cleverly planted by Sanskaar to ensure that Swara takes the chance to escape. It is all building up, towards the tilting point, towards the showdown, towards the vision, that the eye had and would soon wish she had never seen it. What would be, if Swara never saw that vision, what would it be if that ten year told had not blurted it out, what would it be if Sanskaar did not have a change of heart and decided that come what may, Swara would never be handed over to his Queen, the coldness of Sanskaar, Swara so angry that she almost never realised it, she only found out when she saw Mohan waiting for her, if only Sanskaar had succeeded, if only Swara continued to be angry, if only


So many ifs...but then at times fate cannot be avoided, it has to be so that their destiny can happen.


I can only say that this chapter was simply brilliant, (not that the others were not but somehow I feel that this was is the game changer - Sanskaar taking Megha's place to prevent Laksh's mind from being ruined and Swara chosing to be with Sanskaar despite the charm not holding her back. And especially the way you had Megha tell his story as a tale was outstanding.
