The ancient city of "Sarandhamukta" was surrounded by three great mountains and the dried "ambrus river". The whole city was a desert area and it's market place is covered with dust and winds. We can see small merchants and potter's selling items in the market, some magician's, with folk of tribal men, and women's buying items and returning their homes.
Here we meet our hero, for the first time, Neel - a slum boy, with his friend Gopi, both of them covered with dust, running as fast as they can and a group of soldiers chasing them on their horses.
"Hah!" Screamed the soldier.
Neel was athletic and skinny. He jumped over the rooftops and started running violently. Gopi, his friend was also running with him.. Neel helped his friend to ride over the roofs and escapes here and there..
But they were not lucky enough!! Atleast not today.. while climbing one of the roof tops, Gopi fall off and broke his leg. Neel doesn't want to leave him alone, and so he returned to see his friend. But when returned, he saw that his friend was tied with a rope in guard of two soldiers and the commander was waiting for him with roaring eyes.
It doesn't took even a second for Neel to realise that it was his last day. But a sudden stampede occurred, and very soon everything became silent.
The silence interrupted by the commencing of King, himself. The commander pointed the boys to the King and said, "Your Majesty!! These two young lads were trying to steal our golds"
King asked, "and how this other boy, broke his leg..?"
Commander said, "... he broke himself.. ah.. maybe to get our sympathy.. he wants to escape!!"
The King knew already that his Commander was a Scoundrel and has a habit of overhearing.
The King said "..release this boy with a broken leg, he is already suffering. Collect a fine."
Commander, - "but.."
King - "it's an order"
Commander - "your majesty"
The King asked Neel - "what is your name?"
Neel replied - "Neel"
King - "Do you know what is the punishment of your crime? What is your last wish?"
Neel said "I know my majesty that you can sentence me death, and I can't deny. But, if you ask me for a last wish, I would say.. I want you to be there when I was facing death. I want to look in your eye before my death"
The commander and the soldiers didn't like his statement. The tribal men, who were watching everything with silence, started gossiping.
The King said loudly, "Do you have no fear about me!!?"
Neel replied - "I do, but I want to see that person till my last breath, who has power to own my life.."
The King was surprised with this unexpected response and he said "Fine! I will not give you a death, but something else!" He smiled, and said his commander to took him to the palace with grace.
He said - "From today, Neel.. Your name will be Rajveer. This name, I am giving to you"
The King was smiling and nobody knows what is running in his mind.
The King was the father of three sons, all of them were strong and full of wit. But none of them was lion hearted like Neel.
The King was wondering to adopt Neel as his fourth and the last son, He named him Rajveer, and here our Slum Boy neel became "Prince Rajveer".
It is this boy, who later on became the heart of the Kingdom, new Destiny of his Empire and most importantly The last Prince.
As per King's Command Rajveer was welcomed to the Palace.
At the Court-
Courtier 1 - "What is so urgent..!?"
Courtier 2 - "The King wants to make an announcement.."
Courtier 1 - "What is it..?"
(Announcement that King is coming)
Silence
King - "So, my countryman, I want to inform you all, that I- the King wants to adopt Rajveer. From now, Rajveer will be my youngest son and your new prince."
Everyone was shocked after hearing King's decision but none of them denied.
Rajveer said, "I was young when my parents died from Black Death, I do not know, why King chooses me to be his son but by adopting me, he gave me a new life"
Years and Years passed on, and all the four prince are now grown up.
The eldest among them - Prithvi, strong and muscular, he was the strength of the Kingdom.
Trishna and Sarang - the middle brothers were full of wit and excellent in Politics. They were the idol for the Kingdom.
And the Youngest Prince Rajveer, full of sympathy, brave heart, good fighter and athletic. He was the heart of the Kingdom.
When Rajveer was a slum boy he used to be dusty and skinny but his upbringing in the palace made him a tall and handsome man.
One day at the court:
Minister : "Your Majesty! A wazir wants to meet you, he is from "danoruhm" Kingdom -the Kingdom full of Gold"
King : "Let him come"
Wazir enters
Wazir : "The Great Great King!! I am the wazir of danoruhm, and I want to invite you in our Kingdom to see the special sword, which can actually stop the time"
King : "Can a sword stop the time.. "
Wazir : "Yes! My lord! It does! And there will be a competition too between the Prince of different Kingdoms, the winner can take the sword to his homeland."
King : "Okay, then. If so, I want Trishna and Rajveer to Go to Your Kingdom. Make me proud!"
Wazir: "Your Majesty!"
As per the King's Command Trishna and Rajveer started their journey to reach danoruhm.
Journey:
The horses of Trishna and Rajveer were tired and at night, Both Princes were taking rest in the tent.
But a sudden arrow aimed on Trishna distracted them. Rajveer pulled Trishna and saved him from the arrow.
They see a man jumped from the tree with bow in his hand.
Trishna put his sword out and killed that man. But there are so many others coming towards them, Rajveer also put his sword out and killed many enemies.
Trishna : "Where are our soldiers!!??"
Rajveer : "They killed them all. Who are these enemies..!!?"
During the fight Trishna got a bow. He was injured.
Rajveer : "Brother!"
The enemies were more than hundreds but Rajveer fought alone to all of them.
In the end, Only few enemies left, and Rajveer was badly tired. He wants to fight, but tiredly fell on the ground.
The enemies were coming to kill him, but a sudden rain of arrows killed all enemies.
Rajveer faints while standing up, and next morning he was in the palace of danoruhm.
All Rajveer can remember from last night that he was saved by a beautiful girl, with long wavy hairs.
He looked around Trishna was nowhere.
The Girl who saved them enters the room with some soldiers.
Agni : "How are you feeling now? You fought so bravely last night"
Rajveer looked at her, she was the same girl who saved him last night. She was looking bright and beautiful in her royal dress.
Her voice is so melodious. Rajveer thought.
Agni : "What is your name?"
While gazing at her Rajveer said : "Beautiful.."
Agni : "Is this your name..?"
Rajveer : "No. I mean -"
Agni : "What?"
Rajveer : "This palace! This palace I mean. It's beautiful."
(Agni sighed and smiled)
Rajveer : "I am Rajveer. The Prince - well where is my brother!!? And Are you the Princess?"
Agni : "Yes. I am Agni, The Daughter of King Seroln, Princess of danoruhm"
Agni : "Your brother is safe. He was injured last night. He is out of danger now, and I am sorry about those enemies. Our rivals from different states doesn't want anyone to come our Kingdom, and fetch the sword. They attempt on everyone who tries to reach us"
Rajveer : " I see. Well..Thanks for the last night, I know you are the one who saved us."
Agni : "I reached their when I got to know, from my soldier's that some of our enemies are hidden there, and it seems like I have chosen a right time."
Rajveer : "Yes, of course!"
Both of them smiled and looked at each other.
That was the first meet of Rajveer and Agni. That day both of them didn't know that their destiny was going to get them together.
