As they walked the path laid out and lightened for the devotees, connected to the Ravana-samhara, he takes a look back at the massive temple of Durga before turning around and resuming.
Waiting at the fest plaza, all types of devotees gathered here without partiality, both men and women, shakta and vaishanava, foreigners with the natives, without any discrimination they've celebrated. "Here!" One of his friends yelled, calling out for him. The colorful sight of the exhibitions and food stalls, where people made merry to their fill of heart, the ambience was as great as it could get.
The group arrived at the musical stage, which was located close to the idols of the hero, Rama, and the demon king, Ravana. When the music hit, so did the enthusiasm of the youth skyrocketed.
"What's the matter, Ashu?... I don't think we've ever seen you out of character like this. what's the matter?" A woman asked, with concern in her tone. It was obvious to the point that everyone in the group had a tense expression plastered on their faces, and Asuthosh is no better, even though he knew he was the cause, he felt helpless for not knowing the cause of this sudden cold aura he's emanating.
"Nothing, Ashtotra. I've been feeling kind of sick since this evening." Asuthosh tried to sound as normal as he could, but was unable to hide the nervousness his tone of voice gave off.
Shayan, who was the liveliness of the group, and Zalim, who was the group's most innocent one, both tried their best to convert the situation to enlighten the atmosphere, interrupted by Suhasini, who got the attention sifted to the finale taking place, at the time of dusk when sun sank down, so lit up the embers at the end of Rama's brahmastra, that shot out in a fiery blaze that donned on the chest of the King of the Demons, setting his Idol ablaze.
While everyone's mind was fixated on the majestic and magnificent sight, when everyone hailed the name of the Hero, it was also the moment that only Asuthosh, and only himself, could sense the enveloping danger in his heart, looking at the blazing idol, the fire that should supposed to go down, incinerating the demon, it went up until it reached the sky, before it's flames turned into blazing raw dimensional energy and Skyrocketed upwards, setting the Ether ablaze, causing the opening of a Dimensional Gate to appear.
