A New Catastrophe

A new catastrophe is looming—what will happen now?

Mace: Finally, what do you want to show us?

Veer: Is it really something significant?

Dhruv: Patience, patience; the fruit of patience is sweet. Shital, show them what we have discovered.

Shital: Alright. We used to think that our universe is made up of just three elements: space, time, and power. But now we have found something much greater. We have discovered that our universe consists of space, time, and power, but it also contains other elements such as the soul, hair, and an unknown entity that connects everything together, which is currently beyond our understanding.

Veer: Wait, wait, wait... So, you’re saying the soul is real, and what about the living being—it’s something different?

Mace: How did you find out about all this?

Dhruv: We didn’t believe in the existence of the soul either, but who would have thought that what is written in our scriptures, from so many years ago, is true? We have named that entity "Kanm," and don’t worry, I will tell you how we found it. For now, focus on your work. We must learn to harness all of this at any cost. If we succeed, you can’t even imagine what we could become—we could be immortal, have a grip on reality, and everything in the universe, or even beyond, could be under our control, and so on.

Veer: Everything in the universe and beyond? I suspected our universe isn’t alone and there are many things outside it. We realized this when our two planets merged; we found out that the planet connected to us does not belong to our universe. It seems we are going to have a lot of fun.

Mace: That’s all fine, Veer, but Dhruv, how will we do all this?

Veer: You’re right. Are we even capable of this?

Dhruv: Don’t worry about that; I will tell you later. For now, just think about when you will start working. Gather as many people as you need, take as much money as you need, but it must succeed. Now go, take a little rest, and come back to work tomorrow. Oh wait, wait, wait—I forgot to mention something. Shital, please tell them.

Shital: While we were investigating, we found that some reactions are happening in our universe, so make sure to pay attention to that.

Mace and Veer understood her words and left.

Veer: Just thinking about what we might see makes me so happy! Finally, we will think about what lies beyond our universe.

Mace: I think everyone has gone mad. We haven’t become capable enough; neither our science nor our magic is up to the task.

Veer: Come on, don’t think negatively. My gut feeling says something big is about to happen.

Mace: I don’t know what happens to you sometimes.

At Vijay's House:

The woman has regained consciousness, and what she revealed was very shocking.

Aditya: Are you alright? Who are you? What happened to you?

Nainsa: Oh, oh! Let her recover first; you’re asking too many questions.

Aditya: Oh! I’m sorry. I think I’ve troubled you.

Kaulit (the woman): It’s alright; I just need your help. Please help me.

Vijay: What happened to you? Please tell us; we will definitely help you.

(The woman, crying:)

Kaulit: You are so kind. Actually, our village was suddenly attacked by several demons; our weapons and magic were useless against them. Many of my people died, including my son. He tried to save us, but I couldn’t save him. I heard you all are very powerful. I beg you, please help me.

Aditya: Your son was brave, and his sacrifice will not be in vain; we will all help you.

Nainsa: We will save everyone; don’t worry.

Vijay: My parents are very powerful; they will surely help you. Just stop crying.

Kaulit: Thank you all so much. I don’t know how I can repay you.

Everyone assured her that there was no need for thanks; they will surely help her.

What happens next is uncertain; let’s see if they can assist the woman.

Someone is still watching them—all of them.
