The original story is about a group called the Pandavas who are the victim of an evil prince's plot. His plan is to burn them alive.

I used some hints of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone to retell the story as well.  Harry Potter: Retold During the reign of the “ He Who Must Not Be Named ” (Voldemort), no one ever felt safe. Mothers feared for their children’s ’ lives along with their own. There was death everywhere. Voldemort and his followers killed families regularly and spared no one. Voldemort and his followers claimed that the only witches and wizards that should be allowed in the wizarding world were purebloods.
