Shantanu fell in love with a fisherman's daughter and asked her to marry him. She refused him because she knew her children would never be kings. Shantanu became very unhappy and Devavrata decided to go reason with the fisherman and his daughter for the sake of his fathers happiness. Devavrata begged the fisherman to let his daughter marry Shantanu. Devavrata vowed to never marry or father any children in front of the Gods and becomes Bhishma.
Amba pleads to be let go so she can return to the king she loves and Bhishma lets her go. When she returned, her king refused her and she was heart broken. She became determined to get revenge on Bhishma. Sage Parshuram fights Bhishma but fails to defeat him. This could be an interesting story to write this week. Using Amba's angry to write how she gains revenge on Bhishma.
Satyavati had a child before meeting Shantanu. Vyas came when his mother summoned him and asked him to father the children of Ambika and Ambalika. They were afraid of Vyas because of his appearance. Because Ambika closed her eyes in fear, she was told her child would be born without eyesight. When Vyas took Ambalika into his arms, she turned pale with fear. Vyas told her the child would be born pale and in bad health.
