Notes:
Hanuman makes it to Lanka and finds Sita. She is being tormented by the rickshas women. Here maybe write a story about what Sita has been going through over the past 4 months while Rama has been waiting for an army to save Sita.
Ravana wants Hanuman killed for burning down the city after he found Sita. After much consideration, Ravana and his advisors decide to fight for Sita. Ravana thinks a human is nothing and defeating Rama will be an easy task. Ravana's brother, Jambavan, does not agree with him and flees to Rama.
Rama goes against his advisors and agrees with Hanuman that Jambavan be accepted. Rama's army creates a land bridge across the sea. I could elaborate on this task in a story line.
The battle begins and Ravana is losing, he even wakes his brother who has been in a deep sleep but Rama kills him. Ravana is becoming desperate but is encouraged to keep fighting for Sita.
- Rama and Ravana In Battle
The Gods noticed Ravana's determination and sent Indra's chariot to Rama. Rama thinks it is an illusion. In my story I could it that Rama was correct and it really was an illusion like the golden deer.
I could re write the battle scene and instead of riding in chariots and fighting with bows and arrows they could be sword fighting.
I can write a storyline where Rama kills Ravana in another way, maybe with Ravana's brothers help.
Even though Rama battled for Sita he does not believe that she is honorable and does not want to live with her. Sita did not want to live so jumped into the fire Lakshmana made. The God of fire rose from he flames with Sita and Rama was satisfied.
I can write a story where Rama give Sita a different type of test.
