Jahan sitaron ki roshni bhi mushkil se pahunchti hai...

Earth se bahut door...

Milky Way ke ek chhupe hue kone mein ek aisi duniya maujood thi jise aam log dekh bhi nahi sakte the.

Us duniya ka naam tha...

DELTA. Ek celestial planet.

Cosmic storms aur chamakte crystal rings ke peeche chhupa hua.

Ancient spiritual energy se protected.

Jahan machines nahi...

Nature raaj karti thi.

Delta ka aasman violet aur golden rangon mein chamakta tha.

Floating mountains hawa mein tairte rehte the.

Silver waterfalls neeche girne ke bajaye aasman ki taraf behte the.

Raat hote hi crystal leaves wale giant trees poore forests ko roshan kar dete the.

Poora planet aisa lagta tha...

Jaise universe ne khud apne haathon se ek sapna banaya ho.

Lekin Delta sirf sundarta ka ghar nahi tha.

Yeh ek rahasya tha.

Ek aisi duniya jo hazaaron saalon se baaki galaxies se chhupi hui thi.

Kehte the Delta ko banane wale pracheen Celestials the.

Aise beings jo stars ki energy ko control kar sakte the.

Unhone Delta ke charon taraf spiritual barriers bana diye the taaki koi bhi bahari shakti is paradise tak na pahunch sake.

Aur Delta ke dil mein basa tha...

INDRIYA

Galaxy ka sabse peaceful kingdom.

Yeh kingdom technology ya weapons se nahi bana tha.

Na hi yahan factories thi.

Na hi borders par khade deadly armies.

Indriya ki neev rakhi gayi thi...

Prem.

Gyaan.

Aur Vishwas.

Yahan log maante the ki asli taqat talwar ya hathiyaaron mein nahi hoti.

Asli power soul ke andar hoti hai.

Sadiyon se Indriya ke log Chakra Energy ki sacred knowledge seekhte aaye the.

Bachchon ko language se pehle balance sikhaya jaata tha.

Pride se pehle peace.

Aur combat se pehle healing.

Yahan ke warriors spiritual energy control karte the.

Healers meditation aur divine light se logon ka ilaaj karte the.

Farmers zameen ko chakra energy se fertile banate the.

Architects crystals aur living trees se mahal banate the.

Aur artists apni paintings mein emotions ko zinda kar dete the.

Indriya mein koi bhooka nahi sota tha.

Koi akela nahi rehta tha.

Koi bhi sirf apne liye nahi jeeta tha.

Sab ek doosre ke liye jeete the.

Isi wajah se Indriya ko "Kingdom of Harmony" kaha jaata tha.

Aur in sabke upar raaj karta tha ek aisa king...

Jise log dar se nahi...

Respect se maante the.

KING VIRAAT

Nearby galaxies mein unka naam legend ban chuka tha.

Kehte the woh aise ruler the jo bina khoon bahaye wars khatam kar dete the.

Wise.

Calm.

And unimaginably powerful.

Unki presence hi conflicts ko shaant kar deti thi.

Log unhe stars ka blessed guardian maante the.

Unhone kabhi kisi kingdom par attack nahi kiya.

Lekin jab bhi darkness kisi innocent duniya ko threaten karti...

King Viraat sabse pehle khade nazar aate.

Ek baar toh unhone akela hi ek rogue cosmic beast ko rok diya tha jo teen planets tabah kar chuka tha.

Lekin us victory ke baad bhi unke chehre par ghamand nahi tha.

Sirf vinamrata thi.

Isi liye log unhe sirf king nahi...

Ek protector maante the.

Lekin har paradise ek cheez se darta hai...

Future.

Kyuki har kingdom ko ek din successor chahiye hota hai.

Aur Indriya ka successor tha...

PRINCE ARYAMAAN

Crystal Palace ke andar...

Rainbow reflections marble floors par naach rahe the.

Poora palace spiritual energy se glow kar raha tha.

Royal balcony ke paas ek young prince akela khada tha.

Silver aur white royal robes mein.

Uska naam tha...

ARYAMAAN.

King Viraat ka beta.

Indriya ka future king.

Sirf 19 saal ki umar mein hi Aryamaan mein ek king wali grace thi.

Lekin uske andar kuch aur bhi tha.

Kuch aisa...

Jo kisi ko samajh nahi aata tha.

Uski aankhon mein ajeeb si gehraai thi.

Jaise woh kisi bade destiny ke liye paida hua ho.

Jaise uski soul kisi purani kahaani ka hissa ho.

Par baaki princes ki tarah Aryamaan ko power ya royal luxuries mein koi interest nahi tha.

Usse sabse zyada pasand tha...

Raat ko sitaron ko dekhna.

Woh aksar balcony mein khada aasman ko takta rehta.

Aur sochta...

Delta ke protected skies ke us paar kya hai?

Kya wahan aur kingdoms hain?

Kya wahan aur civilizations hain?

Kya wahan dosti hai...

Ya sirf darkness?

Uske dil ke kisi kone se hamesha ek awaaz aati thi.

Ek fasaana.

Ek warning.

Ki universe uski soch se kahin zyada bada hai...

Aur kahin zyada andhera.

Aryamaan ne aksar yeh sapna bhi dekha tha.

Ek ajeeb sapna.

Jisme woh stars ke beech khada hota.

Aur door ek kaali shadow usse dekh rahi hoti.

Har baar jab woh us shadow ke kareeb jaane ki koshish karta...

Sapna toot jaata.

Aur woh paseene mein bheega hua uth jaata.

Aaj bhi usse wahi bechaini mehsoos ho rahi thi.

Jaise kuch galat hone wala ho.

Jaise universe saans rok kar kisi cheez ka intezaar kar raha ho.

Cosmic hawa balcony mein daakhil hui.

Aryamaan ne aankhen band kar li.

Chakra energy uske aas-paas behne lagi.

Blue aur silver particles uske sharir ke charon taraf ghoomne lage.

Ek pal ke liye...

Sab kuch shaant tha.

Sab kuch perfect tha.

Phir achanak—

RUMBLE!

Poora Crystal Palace kaanp utha.

Zameen hilne lagi.

Ek gehri vibration poore kingdom mein goonj uthi.

Aasman mein udte parinde ghabra kar bikhar gaye.

Temples ki sacred energy flames violently flicker karne lagi.

Crystal bridges crackling sounds karne lage.

Aryamaan ki aankhen turant khul gayi.

Usne aas-paas dekha.

Aur uska dil ek pal ke liye ruk gaya.

Palace ke glowing crystals...

Dheere-dheere dark blue hone lage the.

Aisa pehle kabhi nahi hua tha.

Kabhi bhi nahi.

Indriya ke hazaaron saal ke itihaas mein bhi nahi.

Neeche kingdom mein log gharon se bahar nikal aaye.

Bachche ro rahe the.

Warriors aasman ki taraf dekh rahe the.

Healers prayers karne lage.

Hawa mein ek ajeeb sa darr fail gaya.

Jaise khud duniya kisi anjaan khatre ko mehsoos kar rahi ho.

Tabhi palace ke sabse bade crystal tower se ek bright beam nikli.

Aur turant black lightning mein badal gayi.

Aryamaan ne pehli baar apni zindagi mein dar mehsoos kiya.

Door horizon par aasman phatne laga tha.

Jaise reality khud toot rahi ho.

Aur us darkness ke andar...

Kuch hil raha tha.

Kuch zinda tha.

Kuch jag raha tha.

Aur bahut door...

Endless universe ke andhere mein...

Ek purani shakti ne aankhen khol di thi.

Ek aisi shakti...

Jiska naam bhi itihaas se mita diya gaya tha.

Kuch aisa...

Jo shayad kabhi sona hi nahi chahiye tha.

Aur sitaron ke us paar...

Destiny ne apna pehla kadam badha diya tha.

Seedha...

Prince Aryamaan ki taraf.

Usse abhi nahi pata tha.

Lekin uski zindagi hamesha ke liye badalne wali thi.

Ek kingdom ka future.

Ek galaxy ki kismat.

Aur ek ancient darkness ka raaz...

Sab kuch usse juda hua tha.

Aur yeh toh sirf shuruaat thi...

TO BE CONTINUED...

Crystal Palace ne kabhi darr mehsoos nahi kiya tha.

Sadiyon tak uski pavitra deewarein bilkul surakshit rahi thi, Indriya Kingdom ke neeche behne wali prachin chakra energy ke karan. Lekin aaj raat… kuch alag tha.

Royal halls ke andar chamakte hue crystal pillars aise flicker kar rahe the jaise marte hue sitare. Sacred flames jo hamesha sunehri jalti thi, aaj neeli ho gayi thi. Hawa bhi ajeeb si bhaari lag rahi thi… jaise poora brahmand apni saans rok kar khada ho.

Prince Aryamaan akela balcony par khada tha, Delta Planet ke aasman ko ghurta hua.

Aaj sitare shaant nahi the.

Ek thandi cosmic hawa uske chehre ko chhoo kar guzar rahi thi, aur door aasman mein garajne wali awaaz goonj rahi thi. Delta ke protective barriers ke bahar, andhere baadal space mein aise ghoom rahe the jaise zinda ho.

Aryamaan mehsoos kar sakta tha.

Koi… usse bula raha tha.

Tabhi peeche se balcony ke bade darwaze dheere se khule.

King Viraat bina awaaz ke andar aaye.

Apne royal robes mein bhi, unki presence ek aise yoddha ki thi jo sab kuch dekh chuka ho—civilizations ka uthna aur girna. Unki chandi jaisi aankhen Aryamaan ko gehraai se dekh rahi thi.

“Tumne bhi mehsoos kiya,” Viraat ne dheere se kaha.

Aryamaan mud gaya.

“Kya ho raha hai, father?”

Kuch pal ke liye king chup rahe.

Phir wo aage badhe aur aasman ki taraf dekhne lage.

“Hazaron saal pehle,” Viraat ne shuru kiya, “jab Indriya ek shaant rajya nahi tha, tab poori galaxy jung mein doobi hui thi. Puri-puri planets jal gaye the power ke liye. Raje apas mein ladte the taaki wo prachin energy ko control kar sakein.”

Aryamaan dhyaan se sun raha tha. Usne Dark Age ki kahaniyan suni thi… lekin apne father se kabhi nahi.

“Ek aisi shakti thi,” Viraat ne aage kaha, “jisse sabse shaktishaali rulers bhi darte the.”

Unka chehra andhera ho gaya.

“The Void.”

Naam sunte hi mahaul aur thanda ho gaya.

“Ye koi army nahi thi,” Viraat bole. “Ye ek andhera tha—corrupted chakra energy se janma hua. Ek aisi shakti jo planets, dimaag… aur hatta ki aatma ko bhi nigal sakti thi.”

Aryamaan ne bhauhen sikodi.

“Lekin Void to sadiyon pehle khatam ho gaya tha.”

Viraat ne dheere se sir hila diya.

“Koi bhi andhera kabhi poori tarah se marta nahi.”

Tabhi achanak balcony ke aas paas ke crystals zor se chamakne lage. Ek tez vibration poore palace mein goonj uthi, aur energy waves poore kingdom mein fail gayi.

Neeche, Indriya ke log darr se ruk gaye.

Delta Planet ke upar ka aasman dheere dheere phatne laga—purple lightning ke saath.

Aryamaan shock mein aage badha.

Storm ke beech… ek vishal symbol ubhar aaya.

Ek kaala gola, jiske chaaro taraf violet flames jal rahi thi.

Void ka prachin nishaan.

Sadiyon mein pehli baar, King Viraat ki aankhon mein darr tha.

“The prophecy…” unhone dheere se kaha.

Aryamaan ne unki taraf dekha.

“Kaunsi prophecy?”

Lekin usse pehle ki king kuch keh paate, ek zabardast energy blast ne aasman ko cheer diya. Poora palace hil gaya. Guards bhaagte hue royal hall mein ghus aaye. Alarm bells poore Indriya mein goonjne lagi.

Ek royal warrior ghutnon par gir gaya.

“Your Majesty,” usne saans lete hue kaha, “outer spiritual barrier… toot chuka hai.”

Palace mein sannata chha gaya.

Asambhav.

Galaxy mein kabhi koi bhi shakti Delta Planet ke barrier ko nahi tod paayi thi.

King Viraat ne dheere se aankhen band kar li… jaise wo is din se hamesha darte rahe ho.

Phir unhone Aryamaan ki taraf dekha.

“Brahmand ne aakhir tumhe dhoond liya hai.”

Delta Planet se bahut door, marte hue sitaron ke beech chhipe andhere mein… ek jodi chamakti hui laal aankhen khul gayi.

Wo dekh rahi thi.

Intezaar kar rahi thi.

Aur kahin na kahin, is anant brahmand mein… kismat ne Prince Aryamaan ki taraf badhna shuru kar diya tha.

TO BE CONTINUED…

Delta Planet ke aasman badal chuke the.

Jo aasman kabhi shanti aur roshni se bhara rehta tha, ab uspar darr ka saya chha gaya tha. Indriya ke upar chamakne wale sitare ab sukoon nahi dete the. Woh aise lag rahe the jaise andhere ke samandar mein phansi hui bujhti hui lau.

Crystal Palace ke andar, rajsi chamber mein gehri khamoshi chhayi hui thi.

Prince Aryamaan apne pita, King Viraat, ke saamne khada tha.

Lekin aaj woh rajkumar jaisa nahi lag raha tha.

Usne chandi jaisa chamakta battle armor pehna hua tha, jispar pavitra chakra ke nishaan bane hue the. Pehli baar, Aryamaan kisi prince se zyada ek aise warrior ki tarah dikh raha tha jise khud kismat ne chuna ho.

Uske aas-paas King Viraat ke sabse vishwasniya disciples khade the.

Yeh wahi spiritual guardians the jo kabhi Void ke khilaaf lad chuke the.

Lekin aaj...

Woh sab zakhmi the.

Unke sharir par gehre ghaav the jo ajeeb si baingani (purple) corruption se chamak rahe the. Kuch toh mushkil se khade bhi ho paa rahe the.

Aryamaan ne hairani se unhe dekha.

Agar itne shaktishaali yoddha itni aasani se haar gaye...

Toh woh kis cheez se lad rahe the?

King Viraat dheere-dheere uske paas aaye aur uske haath mein ek praacheen crystal compass rakh diya.

Compass se halki neeli roshni nikal rahi thi.

"Void ab chhup nahi raha," Viraat ne bhaari awaaz mein kaha.

"Koi usse control kar raha hai."

Aryamaan ki bhawein sikud gayin.

"Kaun?"

Viraat ki aankhen andheri ho gayin.

"Sirf ek hi kingdom hai jo itni tabahi macha sakta hai."

King ne chamber ke beech mein tairte holographic crystal map ki taraf ishara kiya.

Map par Delta Planet ke bahar ek kaala ilaaka ubhar aaya.

The Second Kingdom.

Ek aisi bhoomi jiska naam sunkar bhi Indriya ke warriors ka khoon thanda pad jaata tha.

Ek aisa rajya jo shanti se nahi...

Balki shakti aur darr se bana tha.

Uske ruler ko poori galaxy mein kai naamon se jaana jaata tha.

The Destroyer.

The Shadow Prince.

The Black King.

Lekin uska asli naam tha...

King Arthurel.

Aryamaan bachpan se uski kahaniyan sunta aaya tha.

Aisi kahaniyan jo bachchon ko daraane ke liye sone se pehle sunayi jaati thi.

Kehte the ki Arthurel ek Blood Eclipse ke dauraan paida hua tha.

Jahan bhi woh jaata, poore ke poore shehar jal kar raakh ho jaate.

Koi nahi jaanta tha ki woh insaan tha...

Rakshas tha...

Ya kuch aur bhi zyada khatarnak.

"Void ne uske empire ko infect kar diya hai," Viraat ne kaha.

"Ya phir... shayad woh khud Void ko control karta hai."

Chamber mein bhaari sannata chha gaya.

Tabhi achanak—

BOOOOM!

Poora mahal zor se hil gaya.

Bahar emergency alarms gunjne lage.

Ek disciple ghabra kar balcony ki taraf dauda.

"Outer villages par attack ho raha hai!"

Aryamaan turant bahar ki taraf bhaaga.

Aur jo usne dekha...

Uska khoon jam gaya.

Door crystal mountains ke paar aasman tak aag ki laptein uth rahi thi.

Kaale warships zameen ke upar mandra rahe the jaise maut ke saaye.

Baingani tufaan aasman ko cheer rahe the.

Log cheekh rahe the.

Imaratein gir rahi thi.

THUD!

THUD!

THUD!

Vishaal war beasts ke kadmon ki awaaz poori dharti ko hila rahi thi.

WOOOOOSH!

Kaali aag ki ek bhayanak lehar jungle ke beech se nikli aur pavitra vrikshon ko pal bhar mein raakh bana diya.

Indriya ki women warriors bahaduri se lad rahi thi.

Woh bachchon ko bachate hue apne haathon se chakra energy release kar rahi thi.

SLASHHH!

Talwarein takraayin.

Chingariyaan hawa mein phail gayin.

Ek soldier ki cheekh goonji aur woh zameen par gir gaya.

Aryamaan ki saansein tez ho gayin.

Yeh jung nahi thi.

Yeh tabahi thi.

Indriya ka shaant rajya barbaadi mein doob raha tha.

Bachche ro rahe the.

Parivaar jalti hui galiyon se bhaag rahe the.

Healers ghayalon ko bachane ki koshish kar rahe the.

Lekin dark energy zeher ki tarah poori dharti mein phail rahi thi.

Ek disciple ne apna staff uthaya aur aasman ki taraf neeli chakra energy ki vishaal wave chhod di.

BOOOOM!

Ek enemy ship hawa mein hi phat gaya.

Lekin phir...

Kuch aur bhi zyada daraavna hua.

Aag ke beech se dark armored warriors bahar nikle.

Unki aankhen laal roshni se chamak rahi thi.

Unki harkatein ajeeb thi.

Jaise kisi adrishya shakti ne unhe puppet ki tarah control kar rakha ho.

"Void Soldiers..." ek disciple ne darr se fusfusaaya.

Achanak—

Ek vishaal kaali talwar aasman se aakar battlefield mein ghus gayi.

CRAAACK!

Zameen turant toot gayi.

Ek pal ke liye poora maidan khamosh ho gaya.

Phir...

Kadmon ki awaaz sunai di.

THUD...

THUD...

THUD...

Aag ke beech se ek aadmi chal kar bahar aaya.

Kaala armor.

Lamba dark cape.

Aur aankhen...

Jo jalte hue angaaron ki tarah chamak rahi thi.

Indriya ke soldiers darr kar peeche hat gaye.

Aisa lag raha tha jaise aasman ke tufaan bhi uski maujoodgi ke saamne jhuk gaye hon.

King Arthurel aa chuka tha.

Usne seedha Crystal Palace ki taraf dekha.

Seedha Aryamaan ki aankhon mein.

Aur phir...

Woh muskuraya.

Daya se nahi.

Reham se nahi.

Balki ek shikari ki tarah...

Jise aakhirkaar apna shikaar mil gaya ho.

"Prince Aryamaan..." Arthurel ki gehri awaaz poore battlefield mein goonj uthi.

"Poora universe tumhara intezaar kar raha tha."

Usi pal aasman mein bhayanak tufaan phat pada.

Dono kingdoms jung ke kinaare khade the.

Aur pehli baar apni zindagi mein...

Aryamaan ko samajh aaya ki asli darr kaisa mehsoos hota hai.

TO BE CONTINUED...
