episode 2 : Unveiling the truth

The scene unfolds in the sterile confines of a hospital room, where Agastya lies unconscious, his body ravaged by the horrors he faced. Six long months have passed since the fateful encounter with the Shrouds—a nightmare that left him bereft of his left arm, a tangible reminder of the loss and suffering endured.

By his bedside stands Arnav, a steadfast presence amidst the tumult of despair. As Agastya stirs from his slumber, a collective wave of hope and apprehension washes over the room, anticipation mingling with trepidation.

With eyes fluttering open, Agastya confronts the stark reality of his existence—a reality marred by loss and bound by a resolve forged in the fires of vengeance. Though the weight of grief threatens to engulf him, his spirit remains unyielding, a beacon of strength amidst the darkness.

"Where is Mother?" he whispers, his voice tinged with longing and sorrow. Arnav's somber gaze meets his own, bearing the weight of a truth too painful to utter. With trembling lips, he imparts the devastating news—Agastya's mother, a casualty of the Shrouds' relentless onslaught, has passed beyond the veil of mortality.

In the silence that follows, Agastya's world shatters, fragments of shattered dreams scattered amidst the debris of loss. Yet, amidst the wreckage, a glimmer of resolve emerges—a steadfast determination to defy fate, to rise from the ashes of despair and claim retribution for those lost.

As the pall of grief hangs heavy in the air, a figure materializes—a harbinger of hope amidst the sea of despair. Doctor Erwin, a beacon of compassion and healing, offers solace to Agastya, his words a balm to wounded souls.

In the midst of turmoil, Doctor Erwin unveils the sinister truth that lurks in the shadows—the malevolent entities known as Shrouds, driven by an insatiable thirst for power and dominion. Their sinister agenda, rooted in the pursuit of mantras—ancient energies that bestow unparalleled strength and longevity upon their wielders.
