Homecoming

It was a fine morning in the small village in Palakkad, Vijayanagara Empire. The sun was rising on the horizon, and a man was exercising near a small tent. It was Bhairava despite his prosthetic hand. He didn't miss out on his exercise to keep himself in shape. 

Even with his injury, he was still one of the strongest people in the Empire. He and Vikrama were staying over in the village for a while thanks to the understanding village chief, Bhuvesh.

Vikrama was catching up with his daughter Shraddha, while Bhairava sat bored doing some exercise. 

Some villagers were still scared of his imposing figure and avoided him. 

Kids peeked from behind the trees to see his exercise routines, as they had never seen a military routine in their lives; some kids even try and fail some exercise, which occasionally makes him giggle. 

He tried approaching the kids, but they just ran away from him.
