Divakaruni: Palace of Illusions, B

Blue

Both dark skin which is frowned upon in this culture because they like milk skin. They tried getting rid of it but they couldn’t.
He charmed his was in hearts of women without using his skin color as a hold back.
He had several wives.
He smiled to answer all of her questions. “A problem becomes a problem only if you believe so.”
Men in front, women behind, go to the temple to pray dressed in their best.
She felt awkward in this group. She allowed her servants to dress her in the best and she held her head high this time.
She thanked other women when they said how beautiful.
People were asking who she was and where she has been.
Songs were made about her, the amazing princess.
Over night she became a celebrated beauty rather then an outcast.
He had several different stories on how he was born that never happened.
He had his own kingdom and many wives to take care of so he didn't visit much.
He was always there to answer questions.
She kept tabs on who was important in her life. Keshna is the he.
Servant, king, brother, Keshna.
He challenged her beliefs and that was good.
Keshna said she was the female version of him.


Milk

What is milk? The poor mother mixed water and flour to make milk for her child but he found out it wasn't milk and he never trusted her again.
Stories made the kids not question Rupert other life.
story about the king: The prince was distraught when he had to leave his friend. He told him to come see him when he is a king.
She got upset because her brother kept giving him excuses and not allowing their father to look bad. He always gave excuses.
His friend came back to get his friendship.
If he took this friend back in would the people see him as weak.
He turned him down and told him he was wrong and only friends who are at the same level can be friends.
in time it grew dim in his memory and he still remembered that moment.
one day he was awoken by the horns saying the army was waiting out front.
They captured him and said he had to come with them but they would not hurt him. He just admired the young man that did this. He said if only he was my son.
His teacher asked them to take him and that teacher was his old friend.
The king asked to be killed rather then mocked. The teacher gave back half of the kings land and riches back.
He breathed in the vapor that will fuel him for the rest of his life.
What started with milk then got taken and changed to blood.
She met him after her marriage and she held his hand and he welcomed her.
