Siya emerged from the blinding light as if she were no longer human.
For a moment, it felt as though a goddess herself had descended upon the earth—like a divine mother stepping forward to protect her children. Rage burned on her face, a fury so intense it seemed capable of reducing the entire creation to ashes with a single glance.
Andy and Ali stared at her in stunned silence.
They had never seen Siya like this before.
This was not the Siya they knew.
The air around her shifted, becoming strangely calm and cool, as if the world itself was bowing before her presence. It felt as though Siya had been reborn—born again into something ancient and divine.
The radiance flowing from her froze everything in place.
Time stopped.
Sound disappeared.
Then Siya slowly opened her eyes.
Her voice—soft, calm, and impossibly gentle—brought Andy and Ali back to their senses. She turned her gaze toward Clara, who lay injured on the ground. Without a word, Siya stepped closer and placed her hand over Clara's wounds.
In an instant, the injuries vanished.
The flesh healed. The pain disappeared.
Andy and Ali were surprised—but not shocked.
Clara, however, was frozen in disbelief.
Ali lowered his head.
"Boss… we tried everything. We were afraid… afraid this would be the end for everyone."
Siya looked at him calmly.
"You did everything you could. That's all I ever expected from you. And I am proud—Clara showed great courage as well."
Ali gathered the courage to ask the question burning in all their minds.
"Boss… Rakthbeeja. That ancient darkness was destroyed ages ago. How is it alive again?"
"I know you have many questions," Siya replied. "And I will answer them all. But first—we must leave this place. What comes next cannot be done here."
With that, Siya lifted her hand.
The world folded.
In the blink of an eye, everyone vanished.
They reappeared in a place that felt unreal—like heaven itself. Lush skies, gentle light, peaceful air. No death. No fear.
Siya spoke.
"This place was created by me. It is an exact replica of the real world—but it exists thousands of feet beneath the earth. Here, innocent people will remain safe while we do what must be done."
She paused, then added softly,
"I have erased the memories of what they witnessed. They will live here without fear or worry. This sanctuary exists only until we free the real world from evil."
"When darkness ends," Siya continued, "human evolution will begin again—from the very first step. One step at a time, humanity will move toward growth, rebirth, and reconstruction."
"But none of that can begin," she said firmly, "until we destroy the root of this darkness."
Andy stepped forward.
"Siya… did you find the path? Did you discover the truth?"
"Yes," she replied. "I uncovered truths beyond anything I ever imagined."
"What truths?" Ali asked.
Siya took a breath.
"When I entered the first stage of deep yogic meditation, I encountered the Divine Goddess herself. She promised me access to her source of power—but only if I agreed to her conditions."
Clara frowned.
"Conditions? From a Divine Goddess?"
"Yes," Siya answered.
"Conditions that would guide me through the next stages."
"The first condition," she said, "was that from the moment I entered the path, I could not use my own energy powers in any stage."
"The second was that from the first stage to the fifth, I could not stop or rest—not even once."
"And the final condition," her voice lowered, "was that I had to accept my true self… no matter how painful that truth might be."
"I agreed," Siya said. "I had no other choice. For the transformation of creation, I had to accept it."
"On the very first day of meditation, I surrendered my entire energy source to the Divine Goddess and moved forward."
"As I crossed each stage, I began to sense divine power awakening within me—reflections of an age that does not belong to this era."
"When I reached the fourth stage," her voice trembled slightly, "I discovered the truth about myself."
Ali whispered,
"What truth?"
Siya's eyes darkened.
"A truth that shattered me."
"All this time, I believed I was the daughter of the Supreme Creator. But that illusion broke when I learned who I truly am."
"I am the fragment—the incarnation—of Mahakali herself. The divine force that once destroyed the demons. An eternal form of Goddess Parvati."
She continued,
"In this new age, demons were reborn on Earth. Mother sent me here to end them."
"And I never even realized it."
"When I was about to collapse under the weight of that truth," Siya said softly, "the Divine Goddess's voice brought me back."
"She reminded me of the third condition—accept the truth, even if it breaks you."
"I accepted it," Siya said. "Because the world needs me."
"I reached the fifth and final stage… and that's when a new gate opened. The missing link we had been searching for."
"My dream appeared before my eyes—the dark, sealed room… and the feeling of what lay within it."
"That was the path."
"Before I returned," Siya concluded, "the Divine Goddess awakened the complete source of divine energy within me. I was granted powers beyond measure—the power of a goddess."
"As she left," Siya said quietly, "she gave me one final message:
'Seek the truth… because what the eyes see is not always real."
