Southern Region which was popularly known as the land of Lord Kartikeya, the elder son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati was the kingdom of valour and prosperity. The special of the kingdom was there was no sub region, and the huge land was considered as one kingdom which had grace of Lord Kartikeya. Hence, southern region was so important in the map of Aryavrat.

The region had a name to be called with respect, and that was Shaurya Mandal.

Shaurya mandal had good relationship with Dwarka since Dwarka was a divine land. Shipranshu, the king of Shaurya mandal had taken Swastika with him for resolving an important issue.

The divine spear of Lord Kartikeya had been stolen from Shaurya mandal. That was why the king was about to meet dau and Kanha, seeking their help, but Swastika came across him, accidentally. She requested him to wait untill Devika and Yudhishthir's marriage so that no atmosphere of tension would be created.

The king agreed. After completion of marriage Swastika came near him with a firm promise of marking an end of his problem. Without any argue, he took her with him.

"Aren't you surprised over my acceptance for your request, princess?" Shipranahu broke the all time silence during the journey after noticing the boarder of his kingdom approaching nearer.

"I am not, Maharaj. Even, you weren't surprised over my action, and didn't question me. You trusted me so did I," Swastika was all calm like a disciplined sea which never crossed its limit in rage.

"You are a brave princess. Actually, I had heard about your trait of dominating evilness with your mere presence. That was the reason behind my confidence in you," Swastika's extraordinary trait wasn't hidden from anyone. Shipranahu too knew it.

"Is this the only reason?" She asked

"Why do feel that there's another reason?" He felt a bit of bewildered at her question.

"You haven't asked my reason of helping you. So, there must be something which didn't let that question arise in your mind," she had learned to focus on each point of incident from Kanha and Subhadra. They both had her keen attention whenever they were around. So, that trait of her was inspired by them.

"You are both brave and wise. Yes, there's a reason," he admitted.

"I don't have any son. I have only one daughter. When she had taken birth astrologer told that she would serve my kingdom, but not as a queen. Someone else was destined to be the queen of this land of Lord Kartikeya," with a short sigh, he started to narrate.

"Who's she?" She questioned again.

"She's None other than you," his answer shocked her.

"What are you saying, Maharaj? How could I? I don't have any knowledge of ruling kingdom. Even, I haven't started learning anything properly," even though the shock wasn't severe unlike she received at Indraprastha yet she didn't take that in easy way.

"Astrologer had told that one day a problem would appear leading the real queen towards this land. You came forward to help me on your own, didn't you?" He reasoned her action in making of her destiny.

"That's why my priority is finding the lost spear of Lord Kartikeya. Do you have any doubt on anyone?" For avoiding any comment on his previous statement, she showed her interest in accomplishing her duty in demand.

"Many tourists and merchants used to come here, and the temple of Lord Kartikeya remained to open everyone. It's difficult to suspect anyone in this regard, because I am sure that the spear is no more present in kingdom," he explained the situation.

"Don't worry. The one who had stolen it would wage a war on my kingdom for sure," he refrained her from thinking further.

"I am ready to tackle, and to bring the spear back to you," her determination declared.
