The gods have been too devious up to now. Case in point: Kubera, ruler of the city of gold, promises to give the Pandavas two powerful weapons, but only if they win his trials. If they lose, they won't stand a chance against the Sleeper's troops, which will soon march on Lanka to take over the Otherworld. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAru's biggest question, though, is why every adult she has loved and trusted so far has failed her.
