Reading Diary B: Wilson. Rama's Quest

Rama's Quest Part B:
Section 9: The Battle Begins

  • Being alone with "Night".
  • Lying to the princess, telling her that the prince is dead. Even uses magic to make an illusion of his head.
  • Fainting heart was revived.
  • The sound of brass instruments and snarling and growling.
  • A God-like radiance, supernatural magic.
  • "Remember the greatness of my heart, be true to thyself."
  • Mission: to clear the world of evil. (Rakshasa) 
  • Story Idea: a story about Rakshasa, or demon Hunter's. I previously thought of having a duo of brothers or sisters. Like the show Supernatural, but they only hunt demons (or Rakshasas.) Perhaps they hunt them because the demons killed their parents. Their ultimate goal is to kill Ravana, King of the Demons.

Section 10: Kumbhakarna Awakens

  • The Demon King, Ravana, has a brother named Kumbhakarna. He is mischevous, but without malice. He is fairly dim.
  • Dancing maidens.

Section 11: The Fight Continues

  • Rama, friend of all living (good) creatures (Unless Rakshasa are not considered to be "living"?)
  • Narada, messenger of the Gods.
  • God takes a form of a human in order to kill the evil of the world. 
  • Referring to the story idea in Section 9, maybe one of the brothers (or sisters, depending which one I pick to go with) is actually a God or Goddess of the hunt, and they are imbued with supernatural abilities as a result, sort of like with Rama.
  • Beautiful, magical weapons. The magical bow.
  • An army of creatures (in this case, monkeys.)
  • Kumbhakarna falls dead.
  • Fighting in a chariot.

Section 12: Rama's Victory

  • Chariot of the Gods.
  • Fighting between Light and Darkness. 
  • "Aim for the heart, the seat of darkness." Maybe that is the only way to kill Rakshasa (or demons) is similar to vampires: a stake through the heart!
  • Maybe demon Hunter's also use a bow or a crossbow (to make it a little more modern,) or perhaps even a gun to take it even more modern. Maybe the gun has wooden bullets. (This will be used in the story proposed in Section 9.)
Section 13: Sita Tested

  • "Rama is victorious. Ravana is dead."
  • A palanquin is like a lectica (from the time of the Greeks and the Romans.) A box carried with poles and people carry this vehicle.
  • Princess dressed in beautiful clothes and jewels and perfumed.
  • "The demon of great jealousy took" them over.
