Part D of the Public Domain Edition of the Mahabharata starts off with the death of Bhishma and as he was dying he
told Duryodhana to return the Pandavas home and to make peace but that
infuriated him more. In his dying moments he also told Karna the truth about
Arjuna being his brother but it didn’t matter much because Karna hated his
brother. The teacher that had taught the two set of brothers how to fight comes
back only to join the side of Duryodhana. My retelling of the story will
include these scenes, to add to the family dispute on live TV. I want to
incorporate the death of Arjunas son but I’m debating ideas. The Pandavas are
also able to kill Drona and Karna is killed by Arjuna which will be a plot
twist in my story. As Duryodhana sees his defeat coming closer he takes shelter
in the bottom of a lake. I will convert the take back of the palace of the
Pandavas and the leave of Duryodhana as a way to portray a restriction order in
my actual story. After Dronas death, his son Ashwatthaman, will return to
avenge him by attacking the Pandavas while they sleep. The father of the
Kauravas comes back and is saddened by the defeat of all his children and
people. Another scene that I do not how to incorporate is how to include
Bhishma and his ability to choose when to die. After battle Yudhishthira
reclaims the throne. Time passes by and the Pandavas leave earth and Arjunas
grandson, Parikshit, takes over.
