The part I am going to focus on is the final battle. I have always been a big fan of final battles and this one feels very reminiscent of the final battle from Lord of the Rings. When I was a kid, I used to put on the movie and just watch the final battle, so when reading this story, I just replaced what I remember from the movie with the characters and description from the book.
As the first few lines start you can picture the chaos going on. I see Drona flying around and destroying everything like Danerys in the last season of Game of Thrones. I see the slow motion fighting of everyone while Krishna tries to come up with his plan. They find a moments rest and you already known Arjuna is not the character to try and win a battle by trickery. Arjuna is powerful and can win by strength, but he could not do it alone. It surprised me that Drona, after all the destruction he was causing, gave up that easily when hearing his son was dead. Rather than getting angry like we often see other characters in Indian Epics do, he felt defeated. He took off all of his armor and gave up basically.
After this, it began to get very bloody. A decapitation and a torn of limb. I can picture Braveheart when reading this. Blood splatter across the battlefield and across everyone's faces. Then, Arjuna killed Karna very graphically. And then there is the final duel.
When writing this story I want to make it as visceral as possible. Using descriptive words is a must and I want to make it somewhat graphic because that is what would make the story come to life the most. I want to write it almost as if it reads like it is in slow motion.
