The battlefield is not just a place of war—it becomes a space where Arjuna’s soul confronts its deepest fears. Seeing his elders, mentors, and relatives on both sides, he is paralyzed by sorrow and doubts.

Bribed
Bribed begins not with shame, but with an honest, loving surrender. The narrator admits they are no match for the soft, persuasive power of a grandchild’s hug or pleading glance. Rules are remembered, but only briefly, before they are softened by laughter or quiet tears. The battle is gentle and always lost with a smile. A slice of cake is given too close to dinner. A second helping of watermelon is allowed, even though it’s already led to stomach pain once before. It isn’t forgetfulness. It’s a…-

BOOK I
Book I opens with urgency as the companions of Heracles surge out from the gates of the city, each one stirred by the disappearance of the youthful Hylas.

As It Is
As It Is opens with a voice that feels both hopeful and honest—someone who has dreamed of a better world but now sees value in the one already here. The speaker reflects on how much easier life might be if people were less greedy, more patient, or more forgiving of each other's flaws. Yet even with those thoughts, there’s no bitterness. Instead, there’s acceptance—a recognition that the world, with all its messiness and contradictions, still offers beauty. It may not be perfect, but it’s deeply…-

What he didn't know was that behind the pseudonym stood someone already within his social circle—Adelaide Anne Procter, the daughter of his old friend Barry Cornwall. This…-

A MARRIAGE
A Marriage begins not with the glow of joy, but with a tone that suggests obligation rather than bliss. The wedding of a farmer’s daughter, instead of bringing laughter and community cheer, becomes a restrained and bittersweet occasion. At the heart of the story lies a simple truth—what society calls a celebration often conceals silent sacrifice. The setting, meant to be the family's chapel, had to be changed at the last moment due to failed permissions, and this inconvenience becomes a metaphor for…-

Even without understanding the local language, their curiosity pulls them toward the nearby farmhouse, where a celebration is already underway. The joy is infectious.
