Today's drabble is about
Chitrangada the valiant would have been a hero even if her father had sired sons. You can find them in the songs of Manipur, women who stalk their prey through silent forests, wield boarspears and longbows, slay men as unflinchingly as stags.
With her brothers dead, in the womb and in the world, Chitrangada is her father’s general, his first minister, the most strident voice in his council. All of Manipur rests on her sturdy shoulders—a tiring, well-beloved weight—and she has little time to wander the woods she so loved as a child.
But in autumn she hunts.
