The sun scorched the dense forest as Surya's training continued relentlessly. His body ached, bruises covered his skin, and exhaustion clawed at his mind. But he refused to stop. Aditya was ruthless—every mistake was punished, every weakness exposed.
"You're still too slow," Aditya muttered, blocking Surya's desperate strike with ease. His movements were effortless, like a phantom in the wind.
Surya gritted his teeth, his breath ragged. His muscles screamed for rest, but his mind burned with one thought: I must become stronger.
Another round. Another failure. Another lesson.
But this time, as he gasped for breath, he clenched his fists tighter. No more hesitation. No more fear.
Aditya smirked, noticing the change. Good. He's learning.
A New Goal
That night, as they sat by the fire, Aditya spoke, his voice unusually serious.
"Training here has made you stronger… but it's not enough. The real test is out there." He pointed towards the distant city, hidden beyond the trees.
Surya narrowed his eyes. The city... the place that abandoned me...
"I'm taking you there," Aditya continued. "It's time you see reality with your own eyes." emotionlessly
Surya hesitated. He hadn't stepped into civilization since that day ,the day when he was left for dead. The idea of returning… it stirred something darker inside him.
"Why now?" Surya asked curiosly.
Aditya's gaze hardened. "Because something is happening there. People are dying. And if you're going to fight this war, you need to see the battlefield first."
The decision was made to visit the city
It was comeback for Surya.
Or opportunity for revenge
The City of Ashes
The next morning, they set off. The journey was long, but Surya barely noticed the fatigue. His mind was fixated on what awaited them.
Finally, as they reached the city outskirts, his breath caught in his throat
Aditya's voice was cold. "Welcome back, Surya.".
He was frightened
His body was trembling
His eyes widened
A shiver ran down his spine.
The scene he saw was .. unexpected, dark cruel, worst...
The episode ends with a chilling sense of dread.
