  1. God of War - Karmic Cycle [AU]

    I think one thing that put Kratos apart from other fighters (at least in the GoW universe) is his resourcefulness. He knows how to take advantage of his environment. Using intestines as a lasso just made sense to me, I could see him doing that.

    Threadmarks: Chapter 35 - The Two Princes

    The world was a screaming blur of wind and terror. White-knuckled, Meghanad wrestled with the reins as his heart frantically drummed against his ribs. The chariot lurched perilously as his second horse succumbed to its injuries and collapsed like the first. With two down, the strain fell...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 34 - Weapons of Mass Destruction

    The Vanara curled himself into a ball as the attacker overwhelmed him. The man was essentially everywhere and nowhere at once as he flitted across the field at impossible speeds. Every fraction of a second, a delayed explosion rattled the Vanara as the man fired off his explosive arrows. The...

    It seems to have not kept the font and color from my text editor for some reason...

  5. God of War - Karmic Cycle [AU]

    Another author's rant: I usually keep 6 chapters in buffer at all times. I ended up writing my latest chapter in buffer 3 times. I experimented by using AI tools to generate prose but the writing style just frustrated the hell out of me. Almost all LLM tools (at least the generically available...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 33 - The Flying Mountain

    There was little overlap between the preferences of Kratos and the inhabitants of Kailasha. This fact had become expressly evident during Murugan’s extended absence. The boy had been gone for what Kratos estimated to be over a month; time, after all, was a nonlinear construct in this realm. A...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 32 - Inheritance

    “There is nothing left for me to teach you,” Kratos stated with finality in his tone of voice. He watched Murugan’s expression flicker from confusion to disbelief as he stood a respectful distance away. “But… Guruji, it has been nearly three weeks,” Murugan sputtered. “Yes. Three weeks in...

    You're right. I confused it with the verb to sire and thought it meant offspring. I'll fix this. Thanks for pointing it out.

  9. God of War - Karmic Cycle [AU]

    I mean ... his anger was justified but his action was a bit of an overkill. His opponent was a child and the Vajra is very powerful weapon to use on the kid. But Vayu really milked it. He was like those scammers who jump in front of a moving car to get insurance payouts. He could've walked away...

  10. God of War - Karmic Cycle [AU]

    Maruti is another name for Hanuman. Hanuman also means the one with the crooked jaw. His parents wouldn't name him that from birth, right? So I took it that it was a name he acquired later in life. In Hindu mythology there are a lot of individuals you earn a different name in their lifetime...

    Which other son are you referring to?

    Threadmarks: Chapter 31 - (Interlude) A Monkey's Tale

    King Dasharatha was a man of his word. It was a lesson his father had drilled into him from a young age: "A sovereign's word is the currency of his realm. When he spends it on lies and broken promises, he devalues himself until his pronouncements are worthless." This personal mandate had...

  13. God of War - Karmic Cycle [AU]

    Murugan's Training Arc will be coming to a close very soon. There will be a small tranisitionary arc in-between before the First Volume closes.

    Threadmarks: Chapter 30 - The Kind of God

    Murugan stood before the temple. It was a simple structure, fashioned entirely from dark, weathered wood, and sat at the very heart of the village. It was completely unlike the rest of the buildings in the village, which were aged and made primarily of mud. It lacked the grandeur of other...

    Can't even imagine Kratos in a wedding 🤣

  16. God of War - Karmic Cycle [AU]
    Threadmarks: Chapter 29 - The Unkillable and the Unmarried

    It took a moment for Murugan to digest the reality of what had just transpired. In that brief window of shock, the Chieftain was already upon him. The mace swung in a crude arc, but with great momentum. It appeared fearsome to the uninitiated. In fact, based on the way the man was handling his...

  17. God of War - Karmic Cycle [AU]

    Murugan will test the breadth of the blessing in the next chapter. Its more fun and inclusive to read the character figuring it out methodically than me explaining it as a narrative.

  18. God of War - Karmic Cycle [AU]
    Threadmarks: Chapter 28 - Predator and Prey

    The elderly and the children ran like their lives depended on it. Because it did. Their panicked gasps and the frantic pounding of their feet filled the forest in a symphony of desperation. Yet, for all their terror, they moved with a resolute trajectory. This was the path assigned to them by...

  19. God of War - Karmic Cycle [AU]

    On a side note. At a more literary level. The concept of face corresponds to pride in most eastern cultures. (Losing face... saving face... etc.) It is a recurring motif when relating to the eldest Lankan brother in this fanfic. Him being called the one with many faces. Him forcefully shedding...

    I think the best media depiction of Ramayana till date is the semi-anime type version they made a long time back. It was in collaboration qith some Japanese company. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramayana%3A_The_Legend_of_Prince_Rama You can probably get the whole video for free on Youtube
