Ada: I don't care about anyone's feelings. I want Gadodiya throne. You and She are obstacle for it. that's why I want to eliminate you both..!
Dp: Ragini will not spare you at all Adarsh..! you know only her love, but hatred has the power to burn you all..!
Ada: you know dp, why I kept u alive like this? firstly, I will kill that Ragini. Then, you have to see her dead and cry till you die. Now... I strongly believe, she might lose her all strength in sadness of losing you..!
Dp: why are you this much against to that innocent girl? What she has done for you??
Ada shouts: she did everything..!! she is a woman, and still she is made the next heir instead of me..! if Shekar doesn't have sons, then the next brother should be given throne. But, why everyone supported Ragini??
Dp looks on...
Ada keeps shouting: it is because of her I was remained married less to out world and I have to hide my wife.
Dp: not getting married was your own decision. No one has forced you..!
Ada: yes, I thought... to impress everyone with my promise. So that, they will give me throne. But, it became reverse on me..!
Dp laughs. Adarsh beats him.
Dp: that's why they didn't give you throne Adarsh..! The heir should have qualities to become a perfect emperor..! your imperfect thoughts and your foolishness made you far from throne. That's why, Kumari Ragini was selected for it..! (loudly) and she is the Samragni forever..!!

Rag: my hands are shivering. All the fear has crowded around me. I can see only darkness.
Swara: ragini but...
Ragini goes into sleep. She can't even listen to Swara's dialogues.
Now.... Ragini goes into a dream.
Ragini was a small kid. She fell down and she has a wound on her knee. She was crying. But, no one is coming. Suddenly, she feels a hand on her shoulder.
"maa..." ragini exclaims.
Sumi smiles and takes Ragini near.
Sumi: why are you crying dear? Wounds are meant to hurt you..! but, you are meant to overcome it.
Rag: maa, but it's paining.
Sumi: it's not paining. You are crying and making it pain. Now..stand up...
Ragini tries to stand and falls down. She keeps crying.
Rag: no maa, it's paining.
Sumi suddenly shouts: Ragini, a lion is coming save me..! save me..!
Ragini stands and runs to her mother and stands before her..!
Rag: maa, where is it? where is the lion?
Sumi: where is your pain?
Ragini forgot the pain in hurry to save her mom.
Sumi: the lion is false and your pain is also false.
Shekar comes: but the only truth is your aim, your aim to save your mother. Before that aim, all the false become burned.
Ragini looks at Shekar.
Shekar: the truth burns all the lies. Your mission burns all your miseries. Ur mission now was to save your mother. And your mission will be saving the mother land. And, none of the pains are going to suffer you in your mission..! Raise up..!!
Ragini stands and looks forward determined. Durga Prasad comes and gives her the sword to her hands. Ragini takes it and points it into sky..looking up.
Shekar Sumi and Dp slowly disappear blessing her, 'vijayee bhava..!'
Ragini dream vanishes and she opens her eyes suddenly..! she saw the huge idol of Durga maa with pleasant smile but with brave posture.
Ragini stands up and prays, "Maata, you have showed me the way. Now, I don't have any doubts or pains."
Swara and Uttara are behind her. Ragini turns to them.
Uttara: the war was started Ragini.
Rag: both of you wear shields and get ready. Let's go to save our mother land..!

Aeternalis
One born of nothingness. A world born of everything. To return all to nothing. Or surrender to everything. A man born into an infinite world, trying to find his path to the top. Trials and tribulations come from friends and foes alike until all bow before him. ------------------------------------- Author here! This is my 3rd story on RoyalRoad, the other two having long since been dropped years ago. They were a mess of ideas and had no real substanence to them, leading me to begin hating writing them and eventually just stop writing altogether for about a year and a half. Finally, after reading hundreds of thousands of pages of novels, from low fantasy to sci-fi litrpg's to thousands of pages long xianxias, I finally feel ready to write a real story that isn't a cesspool of ideas blended together. I plan to see this out to the end, as I already have the first few major arcs planned out unlike my other stories where I thought of ideas as I wrote. This story takes place in a world with a litrpg system, as per tags. This isn't a VRMMO or Reincarnation story. The main character exists in and is from said world. There are some differences from other litrpg's which will be explained in author notes in the few few chapters. I plan to publich 6-7 chapters a week, each 2-3k words long. If i fail to do so I will create a back-log I have to eventually make up but as of writing this it's the summer for me so I'll have plenty of time to write. Enjoy, and welcome to the world of Aeternalis.
