I got up early that day and met everyone. Even the king and queen. And surprise surprise I bumped into Kumar duryadhan on the way back. Even if I wanted to just walk away without acknowledging him I couldn't, it would be rude.

"Pranam rajkumar duryadhan. I'm Adrika Idivita. Yadav shresth Krishn basudev's younger sister. It's a delight to meet you even if its my last day here."I said.

He laughed proudly before checking me out up and down.

"You really are very different as everyone talks. I'm not saying everything I heard I believe as about you being an extraordinary fighter seems a myth to me. But they ofcourse are right about your beauty." He said. God this set my bones on fire.

"You don't know me Prince. And you can't hide cowardly behind your so called custom of 'we don't fight women' for ever. Just hope and pray that we don't cross paths in a battle field, because my weapons don't possess the courtesy of my words." I said smiling yet venomously. He was visibly taken aback. Then as slow his mind process he got offended and angry but before he could do anything Gandhar Raj Shakuni stopped him.

"We don't doubt your ability in war Yadavkumari. When all of the aryabhart is aware. And seconded by Mahamahim bhisma and guru Dronacharya two of the greatest worriors." He said. I wasn't in a mood for confrontation so I just politely bowed and said

"I'll beg to excuse myself. I'm leaving for Dwarka in a few moments."

He instantly bowed and gave me my path. I saw pandavas were there. I smiled at them as I reached them.

"I don't like how he behaved with you." Kumar Arjun said gripping his bow tight.

"Relax Kumar Arjun. Why waste energy on a unworthy opponent? He can't handle this (gesturing towards own body). You are way out of his league. " I said and they all laughed.

"I handled him well I guess." I continued.

"You were excellent. Did you looked at his face?" Sahadev said. I had really grown a liking towards this youngest Prince. He was quieter. But with me we just get along so well. I really missed Sky when I was around him.

"I'm going to terribly miss all of this after your departure. How well you control our mood and emotions? How light and fresh your presence is! How everything seems so easy when you are around! Ill miss all these things." Kumar Yudhistir said. It made me really emotional, but I controlled it.

"Jyesth! My whole life is dedicated to you all. I'm here just for you. How can you miss something that you own? I assured you right? Everytime you need me, I'll be there." I said.

We locked eyes for sometime, mine filled with determination and his filled with admiration.

"Chale jiji. Samay ho gaya hai." It was subhadra.( Let's go jiji. Its time)

I saw a large party. And thought what are these people trying to do, going on an effectively dangerous path and prepared to gain as much attention as possible.

"What are these? Servants. Even unarmed women. They can't go with us. And these are too much to carry for 4 horses. This much can't go." I said. They all stared at me as I said the most difficult unknown language.

"But jiji these are my servants and my stuff. And then these are our required food and water for the journey. We can't travel without these." Subhadra said.

"Sweety we need to reach Dwarka as soon as possible and safely. this many people will only delay us and will draw so much attention towards us. With just four of us we can ride hard without stopping for rest much." I explained.

"She is right. We have to leave excess burden here." Kumar Nakul said. Arjun nodded.

"We will carry a bag, with a spare pair of clothes, a pitcher of water, weapons, some long lasting energy conserving food material." I instructed. The servants bought our bags.

I instructed the servants to start journey after 2 days and we started. As subhadra wasn't a very fast Rider as all of us we needed to stop in every couple of hours. But still we were faster than ever. Now we were riding 5 hours straight. Subhadra called for me.

"Jiji.. stop.. jiji.." we all stopped.

"Are you alright Subhadra?" I asked. She gestured that she was thirsty. I gave her my pitcher of water as she already emptied her. I looked around. It was getting dark and we were deep inside the forest.

"You all rest a while here. I'm going to look around a bit to find a spot to set up the camp for the night. We can't journey through night. And the horses need rest as well." I said to them.

"You can't go alone. I'll come with you." Kumar Nakul said. And I couldn't say no.

We left them there. And searched for a ideal place to stay for the night. Suddenly he excitedly said

"There is a cave over there."

We demounted from our horses. He was going into the cave so I stopped him by grabbing his arm and he looked at me.

"It's a cave in a deep forest Kumar. Anything can be inside. And this particular cave is of... (I sat down to show him the paw mark) wolves." I said.

"We will light a fire they won't come close." He tried to be reasonable.

"Wolves live in packs. It can be 5 or 5 hundred. We can't stay here." I said and started walking away to the clearing I spotted before. It was ideal. Near the stream.

"Perfect. I can keep an eye around any possible threats." I said looking around. Suddenly I felt a pair of arms around my waist. I froze there. He put his chin on my shoulder and said

"Being alert is good but don't exaggerate yourself too much princess. We are together. Nothing wrong can happen." His tone was husky and deep, it runs a shiver down my spine. I freed myself away from him. When I looked at him he was looking like someone stopped him in the middle of something. I didn't pay much attention to what he was going to do and said shivering

"They must be waiting for us. Why don't you go and bring them over while I clean this place a little."

"Yhh.. yh..yhh you are right. I should go." He said and went away.

"Phewww.. that's a close one." I told myself.

We setup our things, subhadra was very excited. After food, we talked for some time.

"Jiji we will do this sometime again. Bhrata krishn and Balram never allow me travel anywhere without servants. You are so lucky you went on so many adventures." She said. I smiled and said

"I'm glad you are liking this little adventure."

"Jiji all your adventures are like this?" She asked.

"So and so." I said while throwing a piece of wood in the fire.

"Tell us a story about them. I heard you were been in some wars as well." Kumar Arjun said.

Now what? I needed a medieval story. What medieval story I knew? Game of thrones? no. Too messed up. Hansol and Gretel? They aren't kids Adrika. Where did you left your brain? Prince of Persia? Never. Where can I fit in there? Think you thick head think. Lord of the rings. Perfect. Story of great warriors.

"Well once there was a big trouble about a very powerful magical ring. The ring was evil. It draws persons around it towards its darkness. Soon they became blind with power and became slave to that one ring. So many great wars were fought, friends change sides. Cities fall. Eventually several years after ring landed with a different race who could resist the temptation and we saw a ray of hope to destroy the ring. We agreed the halflings to accompany and protection in the quest. A very strange group. Four halflings frodo, merry, Sam and pippin. A weird knowledgeable wizard Gandalf, a forgotten king of great kin Aragon, a mighty dwarf king gimli, a proud son of a Stewart Boromire, and a quiet and Witty Archer Prince of woodland relame Legolas and me. The quest was hard, scary and violent. We lost Boromire. Gandalf sacrifice his life for us. Although he returned stronger. We almost lost Aragon in a battle. Frodo was dangerously hurt. Pippin and merry were kidnapped. We had to let go Sam and Frodo to destroy the ring on there own to keep them safe from our greed. We fought the enemy's army to save the cities of men. We lost too many. Theoden, Theodore, haldir and so many more. Kids of who could lift a sword had to fight. That time was Scarry. Darkness. Helplessness. Surrounded every heart. But atleast friends stood together. Fought and died together. We fought with our dignity and won. Aragon became the king of Gondor as his ancestors from a ranger. And we gave people what they deserved, a peaceful and happy life free from any terror." I finished. They all were looking at me in a awe. I felt like I wasn't telling them a story but my story. But how can it be possible it's a story.

"I will want to hear this whole story with all the details sometime. This so interesting." Arjun said.

"Well sometime. It's late. I'm not tired or sleepy. So I'll take the first watch." I said.

I was sitting near the fire alert. I guessed subhadra was very tired as she was asleep immediately. After a while I could feel the peaceful rhythmic breathe of Kumar Arjun. But Kumar Nakul wasn't asleep yet. So I decided to ask

" What's troubling you?"

"When talking about them I saw a joy in your eyes. You miss someone from there?" He asked

"All of them" I said. "They are friends. We fought for each other's lives. But no. No one special. You don't need to fear for that." I said. Wait what? Why I said that? I just made everything more complicated. He smiled

"Wake me up when you are tired." He said. I nodded.

What the heck was happening????

A/n: don't worry I won't make it any cliché mixed fan fiction. It Will be very much dedicated to Mahabharata only. There will be a little mention of Lord of the rings as it's Adrika's made up back story, but it won't affect the mejor story line much.
