Reading Notes Part First Half: Mahabharat

As usual, the Gods are a fussy bunch. This will be an easy thing to mimic, I can simply imitate their ways by making strange and seemingly petulant requests/ demands. I will agree to work for a human as a scribe as long as my pen is not allowed to stop moving. This must be why we refer to movie stars and overbearing people as Divas.

I can steal the idea of some gods having powers while still other gods have many combined powers.
I like the idea of the poison counter acting the other poison. Perhaps it could give him an extra special god power for this deadly combination to occur by happenstance.

Pious father and nymph are the ones responsible for the birth of our very special friend Drona. It would be a great idea for the story to reward pious behavior and punish that behavior because it is predictable. I could suck in the reading to buying in to a story then flip it at the end to make good people bad and the people the reader trusted to actually be their enemies. That would most likely get the reader to respond in a shocked angry sort of way. That could be a useful effect.

Drumpa is not a very good friend. His pride makes me want something to happen to him latter in the story to knock him off that pedestal. I would hope that those holy weapons would be the only thing to save him a terrible calamity and then to lose everything then to need to somehow present himself to his old friend that he recently scorned. Of course the pious Drona would naturally be forgiving and allowed to gain the favor of the newer more righteous king
