Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: The Maiden Voyage

In the heart of Narayanganj, there stood a grand mansion nestled among lush gardens, its walls steeped in secrets and ancient magic. This was the abode of the Sen clan, renowned throughout the land for their mastery of the arcane arts. Every morning, Srestha Sen would rise before the break of dawn to pay homage to the devs and avatars that watched over him.

At the center of his shrine, a framed photograph of Gauranga Mahaprabhu towered over him, his benevolent gaze a source of inspiration for the young magician. Barefoot and clad in a simple dhoti, Srestha knelt before the image, his hands joined in prayer.

"O Lord," he whispered fervently, "make me more powerful. Let me bring honor to this clan and save many lives. Guide me as I seek to join the ranks of the Anti-Villain Organization's Hero Division."

Srestha's devotion was unyielding. Unlike others who sought wealth or prestige through the arcane, he desired nothing more than to protect the innocent with his gifts. Yet fate had placed him in a precarious position, and he knew that his journey would be arduous.

As the first rays of sunlight filtered through the stained glass windows, casting prisms of colors on the floor, Srestha rose from his prayer. He was determined to harness the full extent of his powers, to defy the odds and become the greatest hero the world had ever known.

Little did he know, his path would soon intersect with an unlikely ally, one who would challenge his beliefs and change his life forever.

The peaceful silence of the morning was suddenly shattered by a mocking voice. "Well, well, Srestha, our little failure is at it again—praying to the gods for powers you'll never possess."

Srestha's eyes widened with anger as he recognized the voice of his elder brother, Soruvo. The two Sen brothers had never been close, and Soruvo's constant ridicule only served to fuel the animosity between them.

"Don't flatter yourself, Soruvo," Srestha retorted, his voice bitter. "I've done more casting and uncasting than you ever will. It's not my fault you don't have the talent."

The tension in the room grew thick, suffocating, as their parents, Ms. Kumar and Ms. Rani, entered the room. Their faces bore expressions of concern, a mix of love and disappointment.

Kumar addressed Srestha, his voice filled with pride and trepidation. "Well, son, have you received the results for the entrance exam to the Grand College in Narayanganj?"

Srestha took a deep breath, trying to steady his nerves. "Yes, Father. I passed the writing and reading exams with a good score."

His brother, Soruvo, sneered, laughter lacing his voice. "Oh, how impressive. Entering the Grand College is no trouble for someone like you, with the Sen clan's reputation protecting you. But just wait until you find it's not so easy." With a smirk, Soruvo left the room, eager to escape the impending confrontation.

Kumar offered a congratulatory nod to Srestha, but there was a mocking edge to his voice. "Congratulations, son. Your mother and I are proud of you, even if your brother isn't. Now, let's discuss your plans for the future."

The scene was tense, the air heavy with the weight of Srestha's ambition and the burden of his family's expectations. Little did they all know, the path that lay ahead would be filled with trials and unexpected allies, leading Srestha further along his quest to become....

Just as Srestha's family began discussing his future, the sound of a bell echoed through the halls of the mansion, its peals ringing out clearly three times. Srestha's heart leapt into his throat, recognizing the significance of this unique ringing pattern.

Without a word, he swiftly climbed down the sturdy mango tree, his agile movements a testament to the hours he'd spent honing his physical abilities. As he alighted on the ground, his mother, Rani, was already opening the front door, her gaze fixed beyond it.

Srestha's breath caught in his throat as he saw Durga Roy, a childhood friend with a fiery spirit to match her rich, brown hair and eyes. A flush of embarrassment colored her cheeks, and her usually sunny disposition had dimmed, replaced by a scowl.

Hastily, Srestha stepped forward, offering a contrite apology. "Durga, I'm sorry. I wasn't expecting you."

She waved off his apology, her own voice tinged with a hint of her signature tsundere attitude. "It's fine. I didn't come here for you or anything." But the disappointed look in her eyes belied her words.

Srestha, understanding the depths of her feelings, closed the distance between them, wrapping his arms around her in a tight hug. He brushed a gentle kiss against her cheek, and she stiffened momentarily before allowing herself to relax.

Durga, ever the tsundere, retorted, "A proper kiss will be required to truly forgive you."

Srestha, more than willing to make amends, leaned in and captured her lips in a passionate, lingering kiss. As they broke apart, the tension between them seemed to dissipate, replaced by a familiar warmth that reminded them both of the strong bond they shared.

With Durga at his side, Srestha felt a surge of confidence. Perhaps, with her by his side, the journey ahead wouldn't be quite so daunting. Little did they know, this reunion was only the first step on their path to greatness...

As the passion of their kiss faded, Durga remembered the reason for her visit. With a warm, yet tinged with a hint of sadness, she congratulated Srestha on his acceptance into the Grand College. "I'm so glad to hear you're going to be attending. I'll be there too."

The disappointment in her voice was unmistakable, and Srestha couldn't help but inquire, "Why do you sound so down about it, Durga?"

Durga hesitated, grappling with the best way to share her concerns. "Srestha, your life could be in danger if you pursue a career in magic. You're not like the other members of the Sen clan. You don't have the same raw power."

Her words hit him like a punch to the gut, and Srestha's face grew grim. Durga, sensing his distress, decided to take a different approach. She playfully pushed him against a nearby wall, her expression serious now. "There's more to life than being a magician, Srestha. I know it might tarnish your clan's reputation, but it'll keep you safe. And even if you can't find a suitable profession, you can always come to my house and be my husband. I'll take care of us, I'm strong and skilled in magic. It doesn't matter if you're not a magician, you'll be the husband of a powerful one."

Srestha opened his mouth to protest, but Durga cut him off, her eyes filled with determination. "I know it's your goal. I'm not telling you to give it up for the sake of your clan, but for your own safety."

As they joined the rest of the Sen family, the tension in the air was palpable. Srestha's aspirations, once met with pride, now seemed to be a source of worry and conflict. Little did they know, the decisions they made and the paths they chose would weave a tapestry of adventure, betrayal, and triumph.

As the night fell, Srestha, driven by his unwavering determination, continued his training in the mansion's vast courtyard. His dedication to his craft knew no bounds, and he pushed himself to the brink of exhaustion.

Unbeknownst to him, his brother Soruvo stood in the shadows, his eyes fixed on Srestha's every move. He seethed with a mixture of jealousy and admiration, watching as his brother struggled to harness the fire magic. The flames Srestha conjured were weak, incapable of consuming even a small tree.

This display of unyielding effort, of putting his own well-being on the line for the pursuit of power, infuriated Soruvo. In his twisted mind, Srestha's selflessness was what set him apart from the rest of the clan and made him so revered.

Unable to bear the sight any longer, Soruvo stormed forward, his voice heavy with disdain. "Enough!" He grabbed Srestha's arms, halting his fire magic, only to realize the extent of the damage. Srestha's hands were severely burned, the skin blistering and peeling.

Feeling a flicker of guilt, Soruvo reluctantly used his own healing magic to soothe Srestha's wounds. "Get some rest, you'll need your strength for the Grand College," he growled, his tone softer than usual.

Srestha, taken aback by his brother's sudden intervention, looked up at him, confusion and hurt etched across his face. "Why did you stop me? Do you hate me that much?"

Soruvo hesitated, his expression softening. "No, I stopped you because... because I care about you." With that, he turned to leave, the weight of his confession hanging heavily in the air.

Srestha stared after his departing brother, his mind reeling from the unexpected revelation. The complexity of their relationship, once so clear and unyielding, now seemed murky and uncertain. Little did they know, this moment of vulnerability would mark the beginning of a shift in their turbulent bond.
