Arjun lay among the cabin's ruins, his body pulsing with agony and his ears ringing as the planet whirled furiously about him. Blood tasted like food, and each breath was a fight. Fighting the darkness threatening to engulf him, he opened his eyes.

He saw Kavita whirling close through the blur, her face covered in blood and filth. Anika was already on her feet, her eyes sharply focused on the surrounds. Rohan vanished not at all.

Can you hear me, Arjun? Anika's voice sharp and forceful broke through the mist.

Weakly nodding, he tried to push himself up. "I'm... I'm fine."

Kavita crawled over to him, worry huge in her eyes. "We have to relocate. They are still out there."

Arjun's senses started to sharpen, his survival instincts rekindling immediately threatened. Leaning mostly on Kavita for support, he battled to his feet. With twisted metal and splinters of wood all around, the cottage was a scene of total disaster.

Arjun replied, his voice strained: "We have to find Rohan." "He know

Arjun and his group were on the margins, gathering their breath and surveilling the damage. The terrible picture of their present situation is painted by the illumination of the fire creating ghostly shadows."Are you all OK?" Arjun questioned, looking for injuries on his squad.Anika nodded, soot smearing her face. "We are good; nevertheless, we must keep on moving. Meera won't stop till she runs across us once more."Kavita couched and covered her lips with her sleeve. "We need a fresh strategy. Somewhere better for re-strategizing and gathering.Still healing from the explosion, Rohan turned back and saw determination mixed with anxiety. "We can utilise another safe home, but it's farther out in the country. To get there will take time.Arjun pondered their choices. "We have not much option here. We have to leave the city and lie quiet until we know where to go next."Movin

Blinking to try to see clearly, Small fires ablaze around the room, the communication centre was in ruins and garbage all around.kavita! Arjun cried out, his voice rough.There was a moan close. Arjun sloppily crawled towards the sound. Kavita was pinned behind a big piece of trash, trying to get free.Arjun shouted, "Hold on," drawing all his might to clear the trash off her.

"Meera will not stop until we are all dead."Arjun nodded, guiding Kavita across the ruins. They had to flee the imminent risk first, then reorganize with Anika and Rohan.

    Arjun woke up to cold, hard ground under him and the faint sound of dripping water. His body hurt from the fall; it took time for his vision to change to fit the low light. He was in an underground chamber with hard, damp walls lighted just by a few tiny fractures allowing dim light from above.He forced himself, wriggling at the agony shooting across his side. His gaze went around the room looking for Meera. The silence was spooky, disturbed only by the sporadic drip of water over the cavern.Arjun said, "Meera," his voice resonating off the walls. "Show Yourself."From the shadows, a low, mocking laugh responded. Meera entered the weak light, her face contorted in a triumphant smile despite her messy look. She grasped a little gadget, the one she had set off the explosions with."Surrised to see me?" Meera jeered, her eyes shining with hate.Arjun closed his hands, every muscle in his body stiffened. "This ends here, Meera."Meera's smile broadened. "Oh, Arjun, you really are rather

Talk and find this simpler for yourself.Ravi turned his back on him. "You think you might frighten me? I am not imparting knowledge to you here.Anika moved forward, gaze icy and deliberate. "You might wish to give it more thought. You are on the losing side; the Shadow Council is disintegrating. Work cooperatively; maybe we might find something."Ravi laughed angrily. " Work something out? You have no idea what you are opposing. Others will climb to replace the Council even if it is taken down."Kavita leaned forward, her voice cool yet forceful. "We're not only challenging the Council here. We represent Castle City's residents in our battle. Either you could go down with the r

Although he had given vital information, there still needed filling in several areas.Arjun remarked, his voice firm despite the agony from his injuries: "We have removed Malik, but there are still members of the Council at large.
