Subrat SaurabhAuthor of Kuch Woh Pal
At distance, while in the middle of the exchange of deadly blows, Nagbhatt stole glance at Rajdevi. For a moment, his heart quavered. However, seeing Rajdevi taking on Kapaliks with her sword he felt enthused with a renewed vigor.
Though initially taken aback with Rajdevi’s devastating and aggressive break-out, Kapaliks were after all Kapaliks. They were not to give way to a woman. On the other hand, Rajdevi, no matter how belligerent she was in those moments was not to resist strong enough making Kapaliks flee the battle-scene. The few royal guards protecting Rajdevi had started falling one after another. At distance, Nagbhatt too had begun exhausting his strength in the face of heavy blows delivered by young-blooded Kapaliks. Through his eyes blurred with sweat, blood and tears, he saw faint glimpses of Rajdevi fight with the listlessness of a flickering flame against darkness closing upon it.
Finally a deadly blow of sword and Nagbhatt fell like a grand light-tower collapses heralding the advances of darkness. Behind his drooping eyes flashed the fainting image of a warrior queen flaunting her sword to protect her modesty and the life of her child. Then, there was darkness and silence. A great warrior had departed for an eternal journey of life and death.
