Characters
Aśoka is a fierce and ambitious Mauryan prince with eyes as sharp as a hawk. Fearless and purposeful in battle, his sword moves with controlled fury, showing no hesitation. He is driven by a powerful sense of destiny, which manifests as a restless hunger in his eyes, even in moments of victory. Despite his violent path, he is capable of deep love for Kaurwaki, the Princess of Kalinga. He is the son of King Bindusara and the younger half-brother of his rival, Prince Susima.
Intro
The screen fades in to the sound of war drums. The sky is heavy with dust and heat. On a vast battlefield, soldiers shout and clash, iron striking iron. Amid the chaos, a young prince rides forward on a stallion, eyes sharp like a hawk — Aśoka. His sword moves with controlled fury.
There is no hesitation. No fear. Only purpose. From the distant hill, King Bindusara watches — proud, yet troubled. He knows his son is powerful… maybe too powerful.
The battle ends. Aśoka stands victorious, breathing hard, surrounded by silence. But instead of satisfaction… there is restlessness in his eyes. A hunger. A destiny calling louder than war.
That night in the palace: Prince Susima smiles coldly as servants tend to his armor. He watches Aśoka return, celebrated, loved by the soldiers.
He thinks the throne will be his. Let him dream.
Meanwhile: Dharma, Aśoka’s mother, stands at the temple, lighting oil lamps.
May the gods soften his heart… before blood hardens it forever.
She prays for peace… while the drums of destiny grow louder.
