A Pile of Good Things and Bad Things

queenmyrcellas:

One day, princess Sita saw a wounded deer in the woods, and she begged Rama to go and help it. Rama drew a circle in the ground and said to her ”This is a magic circle. So long as you stay inside it, no harm can come to you.” That night, the princess heard a horrible cry. Thinking it was her beloved Rama in danger, the princess ran from the circle to answer the cry. She soon came across an old beggar man. Although she had no money to give him, she could not refuse his plea. As soon as he had the bracelet, he transformed into the ten-headed demon, Ravana. He grabs her and takes her to his palace, where he intends to make her his bride.

The evil Ravana locked the princess up in his tower. There she stayed for many weeks, just staring out her window, missing her Prince Rama terribly.
