Uttara

Practice Session

Uttara steps back realizing that she didn't put her sword to Abhimanyu's neck

"Arya, where are you?" Uttara says dropping her sword and trying to take the blindfold off

"Wait, you're not infront of me"

"Great realization, now take off you blindfold see who's here" Uttara says slightly frustrated because she can't get her blindfold off with one hand

Abhimanyu takes off his blindfold "Pitashree" He says

Uttara freezes "Yours or mine?"

"Abhimanyu help Uttara with getting her blindfold off and getting her hand free" Arjun says calmly

Abhimanyu goes behind Uttara and unties her hand and blindfold

"Pitashree I- we wanted to tell you"

"Uttara it's okay" Arjun says still calm

"Putri didn't you get hurt from swordfighting with Uttar, how can you fight now?"

"Panchaali you still don't get it? Uttara planned it, she used it to instill that she could never use a weapon"

"How did you know Pitashree? You seemed so suspicious since you came to Matsya desh, you were the hardest to convince" Uttara says

"Uttara, it's said that the best way to know a person's character is through and your eyes never show fear, even when you were close to death all your eyes never left that courage, I haven't seen that in anyone except Panchali"

"Putri why did you hide this from us? We could have helped you" Draupadi said

"Sudeshna Mata wouldn't let her learn, but Uttar and Pitashree Virata thought her in secret" Abhimanyu said

"Okay let's see what you know Uttara" Arjun says as he shoots an arrow up creating a task similar to the one presented in Draupadi's Swayamvar "Let's see if you can hit the fish's eye while looking at it's reflection, it's said that only the best Dhanurdhari can do it"

"Pitashree, what are you going to give me if I make it?" Uttara asks

Arjun thinks for a while "What do you want Putri?"

"If I can hit the fish's eye, you have to teach me everything you know about archery"

Arjun smiles at Uttara's wish

Uttara gets into position, she pulls the sting of her ghandiv while her lips are silently chanting mantras and out of thin air an arrow appeared, but she didn't shoot but rather observed the movements of the fish for just mere seconds and shot the arrow with perfect accuracy shocking Arjun

"Putri that was great, how did you do that? You only looked for just a few seconds"

"I little observation goes a long way Pitashree"

"Pitashree I also want to try" Abhimanyu says

"Are you also going to ask for something if you can make it?"

"Of course, you told Devi she can have whatever she wanted"

"Okay Putr then what do you want?"

"Never leave me Pitashree" Abhimanyu asks so innocently

Arjun just hugs Abhimanyu without saying another word

"I will never leave you Putr, you are my life, how can a person live without their life?"

Abhimanyu takes a few minutes to figure out the pattern of the fish and hits his target

"Now what did you see while shooting?"
