Rama, courageous, shot a flaming arrow and beheaded the enemy.  I based this story off of the actual ending incident in the battle. Because the stories itself are very short, it is quite manageable to write two sentence story getting the plot across. I did not stray away from the plot events, I merely rewrote them in a shorter fraction. Based of off: Khumbakarna Khumbakar...
