Everyone was just shocked not able to speak anything.

"What are you taking about Saughandhi?"

"Who is the person?"

"Why hadn't you mentioned anything sooner"

"Are you out of your mind"

"Why did't you mention it to us"

"What's wrong with you"

"I will kill him"

"Why did you keep it a secret"

Everbody started to say different things at once it was a mess.

Saughandhi raised her hand and they all stopped slowly waiting for her to speak.

"This may take a lot of my energy so if i collapse after this don't worry i will need to sleep it off for a few days" Saughandhi started to say slowly and soon continued "You
will get your answers soon too, please form a circle and take
a seat and please throughout the memory don't forget to hold hands with the person next to you it is a very crucial rule".

Everybody soon linked their hands and slowly sat down and finally two hands held out to Saughandhi she looked at it, it was Bratha Krishna and Duryodhana she took them both in her hands and took a seat on the ground too.

She closed her eyes and started to project the memory and soon everyone was transported to the memory they looked on.

It was a forest clearing it was a beautiful forest to speak about but something about it screamed danger and the pandavas faintly remembered this but couldn't point out where.

The paths were slippery but also the whole forest was beautiful but there was a mysterious touch to it.

They all waited for something to happen then they heard some leaves rustling they looked that way to see a young women dressed in black jump out of the tree branches she was covering her face one cloth was covering her head and the other was covering her lower face from below her eyes and a quiver of arrows was strapped to her back and she held a bow in her left hand and a sword hanging from one side of her waist and on the other side of her waist a bottle of water a bag was slung over her back too maybe supplies.

She carefully looked around the clearing and checked the perimeter and found some dry sticks and started a fire then she dragged two logs and put them opposite sides of the fire to sit on a few feet away from the fire.On was for her but the other was still unclear for whom it was
but it was clear it was Saughandhi for them.

She sat on one log and started to relax but the alertness was still there in her eyes.

A rustling was heard again she was instantly on her feet her bow drawn and an arrow ready on it.

A young man tumbled out from the bushes he too was dressed in all black and he had his face covered just like her and he had twin axes strapped across his back and a twin swords at one side of his waist he too had a water bottle on the other side of his waist and a bag of supplies over his back.

(They both were wearing something like this)

He too when his eyes laid upon her he had his axe drawn out and ready.

They both studied each other for moment and then the young man asked the question first "Who ae you".

"A passer by, U?" Saughandhi questioned him in a gruff voice.

"A passer by too" the young man answered back.

They both relaxed but still studied each other they didn't know why but they felt comfortable around each other little did they know why.

The young man turned to go.

"Wait, mhhh you have nowhere to go why don't you rest here i have already started a fire here" Saughandhi stopped him by
saying so.

"If i am not intruding and you wont mind me" The young man said turning his head to look at her.

"I won't mind" was all Saughandhi said before turning and walking back and sat down by the log.

Soon the man followed her after staring at her for a minute.

They both got comfortable and just stared at each other.

Saughandhi was perhaps just a year younger than him that's all.

They both pulled out some fruits out of their bags and exchanged some and started to eat them.

It had already been an hour they both just stared at each other and ate some fruits in between and warmed themselves.

Saughandhi shivered slightly in the cold the young man who noticed it pulled out a shawl from his bag and got up from his place and moved towards her he opened and crunched down infront of her and slowly put it around her shoulders and when he got up to go back to his place.

Saughandhi held his left wrist in her left hand suddenly he turned to look at her she just stared at him for a second and said "Thank You".

When she let his arm go her arm was jerked back so when they both stared just to see that their bracelets they had worn in their left hand had gotten stuck.

When they were about to clear it some people rushed into the
clearing.

It was Dakoits there were ten of them in total.

"Give us all the money and gold you have" one of them spoke.

The two studied them all and tuned to each other and nodded their heads at each other and they drew out their weapons and stood back to back their left hands were like cuffed
together.

So they together back to back started to attack they started to fight them all moving around the fire like it went after some rounds around the fire and fighting them all.

Then in the middle Saughandhi threw her bow in the air and the man caught it and held it in position and Saughandhi stepped in behind him her front was pressed to his back they both felt shivers they ignored it and Saughandhi pulled out an
arrow from her quiver and held it in position in the bow man was holding and shot the arrow at one of them.

It continued till all of them were dead or knocked out unconscious.

They stood back to back breathing heavily they had some cuts
all over their body.

Suddenly the bracelets which were locked out together came free they both moved to face each other and rubbed their wrists.

When the young man moved his hand and pulled the veil which was covering her head had fallen off in the fight into its position back.

He had a cut in his hand when he had moved the veil back in place it had bled out some blood and it had filled her maang piece of cloth got torn from the cloth around her head and it got stuck in his bracelet.

A drop of blood rolled down from her maang into her forehead.

They just stared at each other and then flowers seemed to fall from nowhere but they both paid no mind to it each out stretched their hand caught hold of a flower and tucked it in each others hair.

Then Saughandhi said "Wait" and went and took her bag which laid in the ground and pulled out her own shawl from the bag and slung the bag into her back and walked over to him then she put the shawl around his shoulders.

She took her hand back but a piece of cloth from the cloth which covered his head got torn and it got stuck to her bracelet both of them didn't notice it they stared at each other trying to memorize each other.

They both swiftly turned back and moved in different directions.
