Episode on Sunday, October 26, 2008

Pundir is on alert he paces back and forth while Chand and Arjun sit before a camp fire. Prithvi and Sanyo rest nearby.

Jaichand and forces have reached the vicinity of the place where the woodcutters had spotted Sanyo earlier. Jaichand says halt, from now on we will all have to move carefully ahead so that our enemy will not be able to listen to the sounds of our terror coming. Poor things would have fallen into a deep sleep and we must not give them a chance to wake up even. All you people understand! Let’s Go! Jaichand orders his troops to advance without making a sound.

Pundir seems to be leaving somewhere. Prithvi is paying strict attention on him he gets up and quickly asks him where are you going?
Pundir says half of the wood is almost over, I will go and get some more.
Prithvi orders Arjun to accompany him.
Nothing will happen to me says Pundir, I just will go and come back fast.
Prithvi gives approval, okay come back fast.
Okay then, says Pundir he leaves to fetch the wood.

Jaichand and troops march on.

Sanyo is a sleep while Prithvi keeps vigilance. He can see she is shivering. He goes to fetch a shawl and shakes the dust off of it. Prithvi covers her with the shawl.

Jaichand and the Kannauj army march onward they will reach very soon.
Prithvi hears a noise in the bushes. Chand and Arjun also are alerted. Prithvi shouts Pundir! Prithvi gets up and races to the place where the sound has come from. Chand and Arjun follow suit.

Jaichand and troops march ahead nonstop.

The 3 run into the forest they can still hear the moaning sounds of someone. They try to locate the person, Prithvi shouts who is here! Come forward!
The 3 walk forward into the bush closer to a man, they see he is lying down on the ground. They raise their swords, but before they swing it the man calls out Maharaj!
Arjun recognizes him and says he’s our man. Prithvi doesn’t waste time and goes to his side.
Maharaj! Maharaj! Jaichand is on his way with his comrades he may reach anytime now. The troop breathes those last words to inform his King and dies.
The first thing on Prithvi’s mind is Sanyo. Prithvi rushes back to camp to find her she is nowhere to be seen. He looks for her and calls Sanyo!
Sanyo returns from where she was and asks what has happened Prithvi? Why are you shouting like this?
Sanyogita you will have to move now from here immediately come fast, you have very less time.
Why what has happened?
Your father has searched and searched for us and has reached this place finally.
Sanyo is shocked.
We must leave warns Prithvi.

Jaichand and army take a halt, Jaichand tells to act fast they have finally reached the destination. They must not survive and leave this area warns Jaichand. Come on!

Chand and Arjun rush back to Prithvi. Chand informs Prithvi that Pundir still has not returned from bringing the wood for you.
Prithvi orders them both to take Sanyo with them and go, I will go and get Pundir.
Sanyo doesn’t like the idea and says no, I will not leave you and go anywhere she blocks Prithvi’s path.
Sanyo don’t worry about me I will return back.
No! If you are here then I will stay here only.

Time is running out Jaichand and troops are very near in the vicinity. The woodcutters lead the way to the exact same spot where they saw Sanyo.
Arjun requests sister-in-law to listen to Prithvi he is correct.
Chand also tells her, if your father sees you with Prithviraj then the situation will get worse.
Sanyo finally agrees, but she warns Prithvi, if you don’t come fast then we will again be separated.
Prithvi wipes her tears off her cheek and says, Sanyo you just don’t worry about me, nothing will happen to me, he kisses her forehead. Go, he tells her, and take care of yourself.
Chand and Arjun accompany Sanyo, all 3 leave. Sanyo keeps on looking behind her to see Prithvi again and again.
Prithvi also watches till he cannot see her ahead.

Jaichand and army have reached the correct place. The woodcutter points out the exact location where he last saw Sanyo, to Maharaj Jaichand. Jaichand can see a garden patch and many torches lit up with fire. A campfire still burns. Jaichand orders his troops to get ready to attack.

Prithvi is still waiting for Pundir with part of his army in the garden. Prithvi wonders where he went. Why has he not come till now?
Pundir is carrying some logs he is on his way back to the garden.
Prithvi can listen to heavy footfalls nearby, sounds like approaching troops. Prithvi calls his army, get ready, we will have to save Pundir. Prithvi runs forward and ducks behind a barrier he can see Jaichand and his troops far off waiting to attack.
Pundir carries the wood he doesn’t know of the approaching danger.

Chand, Arjun and Sanyo walk ahead in the forest to safety. Nothing will happen to Prithvi says Chand, Arjun is telling correctly. Prithvi is capable of fighting off an entire army, there is no reason for you to worry.
You do not know about my father, he is impossible to defeat.
But Prithvi’s sword can change the impossible to possible answers Chand.
May God permit it.
Let’s go, says Chand they walk ahead with the Dhilli army behind them.

Pundir walks back to the garden to his buddies, he doesn’t know about the situation.
Jaichand has spotted him, he orders his troops to attack and kill him. Come on! Jaichand jumps over a log, his whole army attacks. Arghhh! Jaichand removes his sword from the case. He sees Pundir they face each other now. Pundir is alone, one man against many. Jaichand throws a spear directly at Pundir, it hits his sword while he takes it out of its cover and falls to the ground, he is unarmed. Jaichand takes a swing of his sword ready to kill Pundir, Arghhhh! Prithvi as usual comes in time to block Jaichand’s sword and saves Pundir’s life.
Prithvi! Yells Jaichand.
I was waiting for an opportunity like this to meet you Jaichand.
You don’t know Prithvi, how this meeting with me will cost you heavily, because today I will make you pay all the credit you owe.
Prithvi still pins the sword of Jaichand, you are yourself responsible for whatever has happened today. If you would have just understood your daughter’s love then this situation would have never aroused.
No Prithvi this was not love this was deceit, and I will punish you for this crime at any cost. Tell me Prithvi tell me, where is my daughter?
She was your daughter Jaichand! But now she is Dhilli’s Queen.
Yes, absolutely right, you have said correctly Prithvi, right from the day when she ran away with my prime enemy right in front of my eyes, from that moment, from that moment my daughter has died!
And the question about your Dhilli’s Queen Prithvi! She will perish!
Jaichand! Anyone who makes an attempt on her life, I will cut his hands!
Jaichand shrieks. Prithvi answers back.
See Prithvi, see my hand has taken action, and don’t be in the misunderstanding that your 2 friends will be able to save Sanyogita. Because you’re people must have been captured by mine, by now.
Prithvi and Pundir are alone.

Chand, Arjun and Sanyo walk through the night with the Dhilli army as protection in the forest. Suddenly in front of them an arrow pierces a trunk of a tree just missing them by few inches. They see in front of them just a few yards away the Kannauj army blocking their way. Chand and Arjun remove their lances prepare to defend themselves.
Arjun requests Chand to take sister-in-law with him and run away fast from here. I will deal with them myself.
Chand says no, I cannot go and leave you here alone.
Don’t worry about me Chand, says Arjun sarcastically. Right now our greatest responsibility is sister-in-law. We have to protect her and save her under any circumstance. Arjun thrashes his lance on the oncoming Kannauj army he shouts, you make your move Chand! Arjun pins the troop’s sword in the air.
Chand doesn’t react, he and Sanyo just stand there watching.
More troops surround Arjun. The fight is on Dhilli army versus Kannauj army while Arjun takes on more troops alone. Chand is alarmed he doesn’t leave the scene of battle but fights also. Both of them fight, resisting multiple attacks of the Kannauj army like before. They kill many.

Meanwhile at the other end of the forest, Prithvi is still arguing with Jaichand. Prithvi yells out his name, Jaichand, if anything happens to Sanyogita, I will burn the entire of Kannauj to ashes. Prithvi strikes Jaichand’s sword the fight is on, lances clash, tang tang. Jaichand pins Prithvi’s sword and pushes him back.
Now let anything happen to Kannauj Prithvi, anything, today I want your and Sanyogita’s corpse’s right here, I want vengeance for each and every insult.
You are responsible for the insults yourself Jaichand, yourself!
Attack them all! Finish them all, orders Jaichand to his army. All the troops attack, Prithvi fights Jaichand while Pundir and Dhilli army fights the Kannauj troops. Jaichand strikes Prithvi. Prithvi pins his sword up in the air and kicks Jaichand. Jaichand goes flying backward.
Prithvi moves away and bumps into Pundir. Pundir shouts, Maharani Sanyo’s life is in danger you go! Go fast and save them, I will deal with these here!
No Pundir, Prithvi pants, I cannot leave you here alone. Both of them fight off the troops side by side.
Try to understand Prithvi, our major responsibility now is to take Maharani Sanyo back to Dhilli safely!
I already told you Pundir, I cannot go and leave you alone like that!
Nothing will happen to me Prithvi, nothing will happen to me! More than me sister-in-law needs you, if something happens to her? Go! Go fast! They fight the troops. Prithvi doesn’t move from there he keeps on fighting.
Arjun and Chand continue to attack the Kannauj troops. Arjun cuts one down.
The commander of Kannauj army spots Sanyo alone and walks over to her.
Chand kills a troops but his attention is diverted on the approaching commander who lifts his lance to slice Sanyo.
Chand runs forward to save her, No! No! He shouts.
Argghhh! The commander tries to strike Sanyo but is blocked by Chand’s sword, she is saved in the nick of time. Chand pins the commander’s sword on his Arghhhh! He pushes him back away from Sanyo.
Arjun kills another troop and calls Chand, you take sister-in-law away from here and run away!
Chand replies, I have already told you I will not leave you and go!
Then alright we will all go together says Arjun.
Good then, once we get the opportunity we will go from here. Chand fights some more, then he looks around to exit the fighting ground.
Arjun does the same.
Chand runs to Sanyo, come fast Maharaniji! The 3 of them get away, Sanyo’s veil gets caught in the wooden stump and falls to the ground she stops to get it but changes her mind and leaves it behind.
The commander watches them leave, he tells a troop they have gone to the jungle over there. Come, we must scan each and every area, nobody must leave this place alive. Kill them on the spot when you find the 3 of them!
The troop is in a dilemma.
What are you doing just looking at me, go and take action, the Commander orders the troop.
The troop is doubtful and questions the Commander, has Jaichand given us orders to kill Rajkumari Sanyo too?
Yes! We have been ordered to kill her too, on the spot, once you see her.

Prithvi and Pundir fight on the Kannauj army continuously side by side. The Kannauj troops find them together and take opportunity by throwing a net on top of them to capture them both. Prithvi and Pundir struggle to get out of it.
Jaichand watches them.
Prithvi is quick to react, he removes his dagger and cuts his way out of it, so does Pundir, they both are freed.
Jaichand is irritated the plan did not work. Enough Prithvi enough now your game is over. Jaichand lunges forward and strikes with his sword. Prithvi quickly flings his dagger on Jaichand and knocks Jaichand’s sword down to save himself. Prithvi picks up his own sword and goes to Pundir.
Pundir tells, I will stay in front and attack, you go quickly from here! Arghh! Arrrr!
Pundir I will not go from here without you.
That will be impossible, understand.
There is nothing impossible for Prithviraj Chauhan.
Jaichand is glaring at Prithvi, your death awaits you Prithvi. He walks directly to him, ready to kill him from behind, while he fights a troop. Jaichand lifts his hand to cut him, your game has finished, and slices his throat with his sword. Here is my revenge.
