Dharthi (The Tambarauh Chronicles Book 1)

The Tambarauh is the sum total of the pieces of the Supreme Creator's Prime Disciple.

Legend has it that the Prime Disciple was hacked into tiny pieces on the unimaginably dense world of Primus by the other disciples who envied her prime position on the right hand side of the Supreme Creator.

On realizing the ghastly deed wrought by the other creations the Creator exploded. The world exploded. Then immediately regretting it the Creator cloaked the Consort's hacked pieces with invulnerability so that they could be found and pieced together.

And they would live happily ever after.

But the law of cause and effect excludes no one. Not even the Supreme Creator.

So it came to pass that the Creator became engrossed in living the different worlds that had come into being post Primus' explosion. All thought of Saytaeve was lost. But Saytaeve herself had never lost the will to survive. Even as Primus exploded her parts coalesced into those of their own kind. The pieces of locomotion became the legs. The arms became whole. So on thru all her body parts. But the initial explosion had flung merely the topsoil away. When the explosive force penetrated the core of the unimaginably dense detritus of Primus the explosion accelerated exponentially throwing Saytaeve's nascent single mindedness off kilter.

Over the uncountable eons her will to survive struggled as her mind lying scattered in the Insiverse tried to pull itself together. But try it did and finally triumphed.

Saytaeve's mind was now joined together. And called itself Thakli.

But the join was warped. The Supreme Creator's abandonment had been impossible to take with equanimity.

Thakli craved for vengeance.

She would pull together all of Saytaeve's parts and merge into a strong enough masculine force. The masculine force would be the edge over the Supreme Creator for Saytaeve's powers at their height had been almost matched with the Supreme Creator's.

Thakli spent her time exploring the forgotten synapses of Saytaeve's mind and searching for the right male and the location of the other parts of Saytaeve.

The right male she found almost immediately in Ceba the Balanced from the Deiverse. So Thakli spent most of her time regaining Saytaeve's mental abilities and seeking out Saytaeve’s remaining parts.

Most of all she sought the heart. For the merger would be unstable without the heart to keep the others in line. But the heart of Saytaeve was highly individualistic and notoriously obdurate.

And then there was Pitrr. Ceba’s sworn enemy.

Pitrr of the Deiverse was ambitious and cruel. Scheming to win the throne of Yewerl à Zdhing sharpened his wits. So when Thakli had used Pitrr’s ambition to tip Ceba into the right frame of mind for the merger Pitrr had squared the circle immediately. And his ambition rose.

And now Pitrr has whisked away the heart...
