Dragons are commonly depicted everywhere on this earth, and people are very generous towards these innocent creatures. On the other hand, the king is very delighted with this environment. He has his own dragon, named Krutha. He found Krutha in the jungle in a very helpless situation; Krutha was completely injured and couldn't find his way home. So, the king took him to the palace and treated him very kindly. From that day, Krutha became the king's best friend.
In the darkness of night, the king was burning many snakes using his dragon. From that pyre, Bhairav escaped, taking six eggs with him. Bhairav prayed for many years to the gods, and his prayers were answered. God said, "These six eggs will help the whole world to survive," and then disappeared. Bhairav took complete care of the eggs, but they never hatched. He prayed again, and the divine voice replied, "Patience is the key. Stay still."
Finally, the eggs hatched, and six echadhari nagins(nagins which can take any identity) were born. They were named:
* Krodhini (who has anger issues)
* Swathi (who always carries much sorrow)
* Prasanna (the chill kid)
* Anu (who pales at everything)
* Rejina (the proud fellow)
* Aurora (who can bear everything)
The six nagins undertook twenty-five years of terrible practice to defeat the king. These six nagins have unique sarph(snake) tattoos on the backs of their necks, which distinguish them from humans.
The minister advised the king to get married. With a pale look in his eyes, the king answered, "You know what has happened in past years. Whenever I get married, all the brides die on the first night. I don't understand why I am like this. Every night, my body burns like a volcanic ball, and I cannot take any more lives of innocent women, so I have decided not to get married."
"Then, Your Majesty," the chief minister replied, "let's create some levels or competitions among all the women who wish to marry you. This will make it easier for us to choose the best one who can withstand all these trials, and she can then marry you. Tell me, King, is this agreeable to you?"
"As you say, Chief Minister," the king conceded.
The announcement then spread throughout the entire kingdom.
The king had spread news about his impending marriage, a decision made at the demand of his people. He invited all the princesses from all regions; a hundred princesses attended the party. The nagins seized this as a golden opportunity and arrived at the king's party.
The king possessed a special boon that granted him immortality, allowing him to live as many years as he wished. His body would flame like fire every single night, which meant no queen could bear that heat and would die on the first night.
LEVEL 1
The king asked the princesses a question: "What would your firstborn be?" All ninety-four princesses answered, "A baby boy," and all were rejected. Anu instantly paled after hearing the question. Krodhini answered, "We should marry first, King." with a smile on lips Prasanna said, "Marrying you is a boon, King." Swathi answered "sure king, we will discuss about it after our marriage. Rejina declared, "I'm truly willing to marry you, dear King." Aurora, however, stated, "I cannot say whom I will birth, but I assure you it will stand as your proud king."The king was pleased by Aurora's answer. These five sisters were selected for the next level.
LEVEL 2 AND LEVEL 3
In this stage, they had to control their emotions and not react to any kind of temperature. Swathi and Prasanna were eliminated in this level because they reacted to the pictures of sad and comedy. Krodhini was eliminated in the temperature challenge. Only Aurora and Rejina passed all levels.
Rejina and Aurora were preparing for the next day's competition, but this time, Aurora wanted to give up. So, she went to the king's room. She intended to wake him up but changed her mind and was leaving the king's room when he suddenly called her and asked her the reason for her presence. She presented her wish to drop from the competition, and he agreed.
The very next day, the king married Rejina. However, these sisters had a terrible plan to kill the king. Aurora secretly took Rejina's place, and Rejina began wandering to collect black mamba poison.
Aurora's and the king's first night arrived. She was hesitant about it. Suddenly, the king opened the door; he was burning like a fireball. She was shocked and paled at the same time. He came directly to her and began to approach her intimately, but she stopped him. "Dear King," she said, "I want you to love me, and this should happen with your undying love and affection towards me. But I don't know anything about love. Tell me, 'What is love,' Queen?" The king replied, "You will know soon, dear KING."
The next morning, the king was getting ready for the assembly. Suddenly, the queen stopped him and asked him to wait for her. "I want to come to assembly with you, dear King." "No need," he said, "I can go myself," and started towards his dragon. She came from behind and grabbed his hand. "don't you wanted to know about love, king? Then why the hell are you leaving me behind?" "Okay, I'll wait. Give me 10 minutes," she said and left. After two long hours, she came to him and asked him to comb her hair. "Dear Queen," he protested, "I'm the emperor of the region; how could you ask me to brush your hair?", "Dear King (with base tone)," she insisted, "I know you are THE EMPEROR, but you are my husband, and it's your duty to provide me whatever I ask. So, come fast and brush it." "I've never done this and don't know how to brush," he admitted. Then the queen explained how. He brushed her hair. It was the first time the king felt some awkwardness in his chest; perhaps it was the starting stage of love.
They went to the palace. The king asked the queen to come horseback riding, but she insisted they walk instead. On the way to the palace, all the people in the kingdom were happy because the queen was still alive.
The queen went to the magic garden, and the king was in a meeting. Suddenly, in the middle of the meeting, the king yelled the queen's name. The manthri (minister) was shocked by the king's behavior; the king had never interrupted a meeting until now, but he was suddenly developing feelings for the queen.
He went straight to the queen, and they played in the magic garden. The queen playfully threw mud on the king. Then they returned to the palace. All the servants were shocked to see the king covered in mud. The queen insisted and said, "We slipped in the garden and fell in the mud." The king asked her, with a question mark on his face, "Why? ,You know your place in the kingdom." "That's why, dear King," she replied. "I've collected some fruits from the garden; we'll eat them after lunch." "Okay, your order is my command, QUEEN," he said.
These sisters had planned to kill the king . They poisoned the king's throne, but the poison didn't work because a black smoke absorbed it all. The king was officially married to Rejina, who was in the form of Aurora. Every ritual was performed by Aurora during the marriage. In the meantime, her sisters were searching for a more vicious poison to kill the king.
The next day, Aurora met Rejina in the garden to discuss strong poisons. Rejina asked Aurora to continue acting, and then left.In the evening Aurora insisted the king have dinner with her so she could sense the essence needed to kill him. She asked him to feed her, and he did. When his fingers touched her lips, she got her answer.
The next day in the magic garden, Aurora met Regina to discuss the poison intended for the king. Aurora insisted, "We should get more snake venom to kill the king, or else we cannot succeed." Following Aurora's orders, Regina worked on it.
The sisters again poisoned the king's throne. Regina then came to Aurora's room and declared, "The minute the king wears the crown, he will die." Aurora was shocked by this plan. Suddenly, a maid burst through the doors of Aurora's room, announcing, "The king has been poisoned!"
Aurora rushed to see the king, who had collapsed on the floor in the grand ballroom. Aurora cried, "I should have supported you and rescued you, but this is all my fault. I can't forgive myself. I'm so sorry, my dear king. I'm so sorry." The king suddenly opened his eyes and said to Aurora, "Why are you crying? Nothing has happened to me."
Aurora looked at him with a smile in her eyes. She hugged him and said, "I thought I had lost you."
"Oh, dear Queen, I would never leave you. I will always love you till my last breath. Please accept me as your royal husband."
"Yes, yes, I will always be your queen!" In that moment, they hugged each other and enjoyed the moment with wine. Both became unconscious in their embrace and intimately connected.
In the morning, the maid called the king to get ready for the assembly. The queen woke up and asked the king to get ready as well. "But I'll take leave today. I'll go tomorrow, my queen. Please come and sleep with me. I don't want to wake up; I just feel peace here."
"I don't know about you, but I'm going to bathe now, so please get up and get ready," Aurora said to the king and left the room while braiding her hair.With half-open eyes
the king saw Aurora's tattoo and remembered it was the same tattoo he had burned. He sent a spy to observe Aurora and started searching about the tattoo in the library. He then got his answer: she was his enemy, the reason he hated all snakes. He had married her! The spy reported on Aurora and Regina's meeting in the magic garden and also noted, "They have the same bodies, the same faces. They are exactly alike, no difference, my king, no difference at all."
"Then Regina started to change her appearance as another woman. The one you married, you are not married to Regina, sir; you are married to Aurora. Okay, thank you, you can go now," said the king and left.
That very evening, the king met Aurora and asked her to come along with him to a place where nobody knew them. Aurora was shocked but said yes to the king. He took her to a place where there was a small grave belonging to his mother. He then began explaining, "A snake bit my mother, and she died. I got so angry at that time, and I burned all the snakes. This is my love towards my mother. Now tell me, did I do anything wrong, Aurora?"
"King, what are you calling? I am not Aurora; I am Regina! I know everything about you, but I just want to meet both of you tomorrow at the battlefield."
The very next day, the three of them met at the battlefield. The king asked only one question: "Please tell me whom I was in love with."
Aurora said, "It was me who married you and spent time with you, and I really love you, my Raja. I am so sorry to betray you, my king, but it's not my intention. The day I saw you, I fell in love with you, so in every situation, I saved you. But this is the end now. I have to leave you. I am so sorry."
In the middle of this conversation, Regina poisoned the king, but Aurora stepped in front of him. All the poison went into Aurora's body, and she became very weak. Then, with a weak voice, she said, "I am pregnant, and this is your baby. Don't worry about the baby; it will be in my womb after my death, and I'll give birth to the baby after my death too. Just feed me every day; that helps the baby to have good health." And then Aurora passed away.
Losing her sister, Regina realized her mistake and left the battlefield. The king was so furious and so sorrowful at the same time. All the oceans and earth experienced floods and earthquakes. All the gods were very afraid of the king's anger, and they tried to help the king, it stared raining with antidot but there was no use. Then a drop of blood from the king's eyes fell into Aurora's mouth, and she opened her eyes. The king hugged her I know I'm little heavy but will you take me to the castle by lifting with your hands 'king', offcourse and took her to the castle. "Your love and affection made me this, King." said arora. They live happily ever after.
