[Meghnad's POV]
(Next Day)
I woke up in the hut on the Gurukul grounds. This hut was made by me only, as Gurudev said it was important for a warrior to be self-reliant. The simple structure provided shelter, but it also reminded me of the discipline and focus I needed to cultivate. Sunlight streamed through the small gaps in the walls, casting a golden glow over the sparse interior. The events of the previous day lingered in my mind, the destructive outburst replaying like a vivid nightmare.
Stretching, I felt the soreness in my muscles—a lingering reminder of the chaos I had unleashed. My claws were gone, and my body had returned to its normal state, but the memory of the storm within me felt as raw as the day before. Today, I had a new resolve. Shukracharya's words echoed in my mind: The destroyer and the protector.
