Raghav was in his chariot moving at a fast pace. He was already on the border of Hastinapur so he increased the speed of his chariot. How can he be late for a big event that was going to happen? Raghav looked at the sky and it was already evening and sun was soon going to set. He was in a forest and so he decided to camp.
Raghav - 'I should camp here.'
He then lit a campfire near an open area and then he started eating few apples that he got because of helping an old lady.
[ Wukong - Those apples....are they tasty? ]
[ Raghav - Yes they are.]
Saying so he sent few apples to Wukong. He was bored so he started looking around his surroundings and thus he found a mango tree which had several mangoes on it.
He started moving towards the tree when he saw an arrow aiming for the tree, more specifically, for the mango. The arrow disconnected the fruit from the tree and the mango fell on the ground.
Boy 1 - "Bhrata (brother) , you are amazing."
Boy 2 - "Yes Bhrata Arjun, You are the best."
Arjun - "Haha thanks for your praises my dear brothers."
Raghav sighed. He was going to meet the group before he reached the castle. But he will try to make them a better person. He will also help Duryodhan to be a better person.
The five brothers soon came towards the tree and saw a man standing there and looking at them.
Pandavas - " Pranipat shreeman" (Greetings respected sir)
Raghav - "Pranipat"
Yudhishthir - "Shreeman ( Sir/ Respected man ), is the tree by any chance belong to you? If so I am sorry on behalf of my brother."
Raghav smiled hearing the words of Yudhishthir. This guy could have been better if only he could understand the 'Dharma' better.
Raghav - " No, this tree does not belong to me. Infact no tree or any natural thing can belong to a person. It is for everyone."
Yudhishthir (Smiled) - "You are very knowledgeable, may I ask who you are?"
Raghav (calm) - "You are forgetting that you should introduce yourself first and then ask others."
Yudhishthir - " Ah, where are my manners. I am Panduputra (Son of Pandu) Yudhishthir. These are my younger brothers, Bheem, Arjun, Nakul and Sahadev"
Raghav - "Good to meet you. I am Shree Parshuram shishya, Raghav."
[ Thor - Yeahhh! Show them you are stronger!!!!!]
[ Wukong - You fat brain, how can just having a strong teacher make a person strong?]
[ Thor - Get lost you monkey!]
The Pandavas ( Children of Pandu) were shocked hearing this. Ofcourse they knew who lord Parshuram was. How can they not? He was infamous for exterminating evil Kshatriya kings from whole earth 21 times!!
Arjun - "Wow! You must be strong, friend karna."
[ Thor - Ofcourse he is. Even your father can't defeat him, HAHAHAHAHA]
[ Wukong - Stop you mad man, watch the show quietly.]
Raghav - "Well, I believe in my strength."
Bheem (mocking)- "Haha, can you defeat me?"
Raghav (smiling) - "You won't like my answer"
Bheem didn't say anything but he was angry. He was going to attack Raghav, his elder brother, Yudhishthir stopped him. So he just stood there gritting his teeth.
Sahadev - "Friend, we were going to Hastinapur palace, where are you heading to?"
Raghav smiled. He looked at Sahadev and Calmly said-
Raghav - "I too am going to Hastinapur castle. I heard kuru princes were returning do I thought I should see what they have learnt. You five will participate too, right?"
Bheem (mocking) - "Yes we will and there I will show you how strong I am."
Raghav - "We will see that when the time comes."
Raghav said and went back to his camp. Bheem was angry. He was feeling humiliated. How can someone dare to insult him who is a demigod?
In his rage, he rushed towards Raghav. He raised his right hand to punch Raghav but to his surprise, Raghav quickly held his hand and then his collar. After that he used Bheem's own strength against him as he lifted him and smashed him on the ground making a semicircle.
Other Pandavas were shocked to see this. The strongest of them was easily controlled by Raghacv.
Raghav - " I told you, you won't like my answer but now, you are on the ground."
Arjun (Angry) - "You dare do this to my brother!"
Raghav - "Arjun, HE attacked me first. I showed no enimity to you, yet he still attacked. Tell me Mitra Yudhishthir, Am I in the wrong here?"
Yudhishthir - "No, you are not wrong. I apologise for the behaviour of my brother."
Arjun, Nakul and Sahadev kept silence. They too knew it was Bheem's fault. They didn't dare to utter a word. Arjun too apologized with rest of his brothers. Bheem got up and saw his brother glaring at him.
Yudhishthir - "Bheem apologize to Shreeman Raghav."
Bheem - " I am sorry Shreeman Raghav"
Though Bheem was angry, he couldn't reject his brother's command.
Seeing this Raghav realised, though they were arrogant, they were not bad people. It was due to the fact everyone around them either bootlicking them or not correcting their mistakes as they are demigods. He thought he should help them. If one is ready to accept his faults, he too should help them a little.
Raghav (Smiling) - "Though I must say, Bheem you are very strong. You are indeed the son of Vayu."
Hearing this, Bheem immediately grew a smile on his face. All other Pandavas were also very happy.
Bheem - "Friend, you are also very strong. Not many people can rival me."
Bheem said as he extended his hand, offering a handshake. Raghav too extended his hand and did a handshake.
[ Athena - Muscleheads are simple minded. Truly.]
[ Wukong - Personal experience, @Athena?]
[ Athena - Yes, I have two such brothers, Hercules and Ares. I also know several others ]
[ Thor - Wow, I wonder how it is like to be with them.]
[ Wukong - Ever seen a mirror, @Thor ]
The banter between the two continued for a long time but Raghav ignored it.
Sahadeva - "We should become friends"
Raghav - "Ok, but are you sure you want to be friends with me?"
Bheem - "Ofcourse friend, we would love to be your your friend."
Rest of the Pandavas nodded on this statement of Bheem. They too want to befriend him. They just saw his strength and could guess that he had a good personality.
Raghav - " I would be happy to be your friend but remember, I am not a 'Yes man' who will agree with you every time. I will speak the what is on my mind. If you do any Adharm I will not support you and will always show you the correct path."
Yudhishthir - "Gladly my Friend! We also would love if you stay true to us!"
Saying so, all the Pandavas got a new friend.
