61. Bhishma Falls
- "Great which was the carnage he wrought."
- It being fated that someone will die.
- "The ancient hero"
- "All the Warriors stopped fighting and looked on."
- A blood-drenched plain.
- "Dark some cloudy masses angry gusts of storm divide"
- I like the way this is written. It's written poetically and lyrically. This would an interesting technique to try.
- Vowing revenge on someone.
- "Slaying one on one"
- A red sun.
- A black eclipse.
- Introducing symbolism in my stories would be something I'd like to try.
- I'd also like to portray the setting as so dark as is well done in these stories.
- Fighting in the dark. People on the same side fought each other.
- "Men were maddened with the thirst for blood." (I know this is in relation to war and battling, but I want to take this sentence and turn it into a vampire story! It will have a boy main character, of course it will be young adult. I'd like to do a concept were vampires are born as vampires from parents. Maybe he's an orphan, and then at the age of sixteen, he starts becoming "maddened with the thirst for blood" and is confused as so what is going on.
- Idea, he stumbles across a cafe that has an irresistible scent. He goes in to find that they put blood on their coffee and pastries. There is a female waitress or barista that helps him discover what he truly is: a vampire.
- OR the thirst for blood could also be for a demon or a Rakshasa, OR for a were-wolf. I could do the point of view of Colt in the story, The Demon's Guard Dog.
- Behind cut off his head, and drank his blood, and said it was the finest drink. Warriors cried out, "This is not a man, for he drink th human blood." Another quote to use to back up my vampire story. (Or my demon, or werewolf story.)
- Comparable to the Trojan War, and the confrontation between Achilles and Hector.
- It's not manly to cut down a weaker foe.
- Using supernatural powers to talk refuge beneath the waters of a lake. Reminds me of mermaids, merpeople, water faeries, or nymphs.
- A night raid, attacking the enemy while they sleep. What happened to honor?
- Being driven by revenge.
- A gem on one's forehead that protects one from hunger, thirst, poison, attack of wild animals, and other things.
- A great jewel that gleams in darkness.
- A somber tone, and difficult themes.
- Waiting until the solstice before dying.
- Sandalwood
- "The Supreme Eternal Soul"
- A horse sacrifice to atone for sins.
- A moon-white horse, with a yellow tail and one black ear.
- Another tough story to read! I was really upset about the horse.
- Mentions of a witch. A story idea: a modern day witch, discovers she actually has magical abilities.
- A funeral pyre.
- A full moon. (I need to add more nature and setting in my stories!
- A golden creature.
- A famine.
- The Ganges River.
- Funeral ritual.
- Reminds me of a scene in the Ramayna.
- Ghostly warriors.
- Princesses.
- Narmada, the sage.
- Terrible omens
- The chakra of someone.
- Incarnation of the world serpent, reminds me of the world serpent in Norse mythology.
- A sage telling someone it is soon time to depart the world.
- A final test.
- Forest of nether regions.
- A wicked forest.
