During the year 2026, in the metropolitan city of mumbai, in the country of India, a young lad known by the name of Asuthosh Melhotra, an ordinary human who seeks the path to thrill and adventure, walks along the direction to the central square of the metropolis which was adorned with radiant bright colors of light, whose illumination brought liveliness and joy to each of the passerby.
The festivals are the spirit of a nation, which represents the beauty and culture along with the aspects of devotion and socialisation, the square was as lively as it could get. With the aroma of numerous foods and dishes lingering in the air, with each step to his destination he took.
"I'm finally here." He said, as he made his way to the entrance of the Temple of Durga, during the times of the celebration of victory over evil, revered the deities, Durga who triumphed over the forces of evil, and Rama who ended the reign of the King of the Demons, Ravana. "For as many paths that I must take, the destination is ultimately always the same."
Holding his hands up, he joins the queue to the entrance of the temple, passing the giant gates, he rings the temple's bell as everyone else. In the ceremonial hall, where there stood the Idol of the Goddess, he joined his hands together and closed his eyes as the chants of the priests began.
However, his concentration on the prayers was broken, when he began to experience vivid hallucinations, his body began to lose temperature at a rapid pace and he felt an aura of cold and stench of rot enveloping his senses, like a pair of eyes set on his presence that halted his ability to move at all. He was shook awake to his senses when he felt a hand on his shoulder, and when he turned to look, numerous familiar faces that brushed away all his thoughts and brought positivity.
"Are you going to stay here all day, hero?" Spoken, a young woman, who was clad in a modern fabric similar to his in terms of design, with a group of individuals behind her, who are none other than his friends he was supposed to meet on this day.
Asuthosh gives a stare at the group of individuals before giving off a smile, as they all head out of the temple, to the direction of the plaza where the major celebrations are taking place. But all this while, he was under a massive disturbance that chained his mind from comprehending a dark visage that was looming over as his aura.
