“His hair was dark, like a deep blue sapphire
His face radiant as the full moon,
His arms long and lean,
His shoulders, dark and strong,
like massive gems, but -

Summary
Dusk on Lanka’s shores is a dusty, burnt-brown affair, tawdry in comparison to evenfall on Kosala’s balconies or glorious firefly-strewn sunsets in the Dandaka forest, but after a year of frantic searching and furious war, Rama has little use for contrasts. All he knows is bone-deep weariness and relief, the grittiness of sand between his toes and the roaring of waves in his ears unpunctuated by metallic clangs and war screams.

Summary
Ravana decides to avenge Surpanakha by approaching the trio himself but ends up taking another, willing hostage instead. He must use this opportunity to rediscover his manhood--a fine line between finding closure and letting go of the past.
A new, dark short story based on the Ramayana which takes place from the Dandaka hut days and onward, exploring Ravana and Rama's desire to maintain control over their own manhood (and kingship). Both are stubborn in their own ways, but to what lengths will each go to preserve what they believe they hold most dear?
