Chapter 2 - Unknown Fear

🌑 Shadow of Balance

Episode 2 – "Unknown Fear"

Hawa ab bhi heavy thi…

Akira aur uske dost ek jagah jam gaye the…

Unke saamne khada woh dark figure… bilkul hil nahi raha tha.

Par uski presence…

Jaise hawa ko bhi daba rahi ho.

Mira dheere se peeche hatti…

"Yeh… yeh kya cheez hai…?"

Daichi apne aap ko strong dikhane ki koshish karta hai—

"Jo bhi hai… hum milke handle kar lenge!"

Ren chup tha… uski aankhen sirf us creature par tikki hui thi.

"Yeh normal nahi hai…"

Akira ka dil zor zor se dhadak raha tha…

Par uske andar ek ajeeb si feeling uth rahi thi—

Jaise… woh iss cheez ko pehchan raha ho.

Achanak—

👉 Woh dark figure hilta hai.

Aur ek second ke andar—

👉 woh Akira ke saamne aa jata hai!

"AKIRA!!"

Daichi chillata hai…

Par tab tak der ho chuki thi—

👉 Creature apna haath uthata hai

👉 aur Akira par attack karta hai

💥 Impact!

Akira zameen par gir jata hai…

Uski saans ruk si jaati hai…

Aankhon ke saamne sab blur hone lagta hai…

"Uth… Akira uth!"

Mira roti hui awaaz me bolti hai

Daichi us creature par hamla karta hai—

👉 par uska attack bilkul bekaar ho jata hai

"Yeh… effect hi nahi ho raha!"

Ren samajh jata hai—

👉 yeh unke level ka nahi hai

Creature phir se attack karne ke liye badhta hai—

Aur is baar…

👉 seedha Akira ki taraf

Sab ke chehre par darr saaf dikh raha tha…

"Bhago!!"

Par pair hil nahi rahe the…

Jaise koi invisible force unhe rok raha ho.

Tabhi—

⚡ Hawa ka flow achanak badal jata hai

Ek tez sa jhatka…

Aur agle hi pal—

👉 Creature hawa me ruk jata hai.

Jaise kisi ne usse pakad liya ho.

Sab shock me upar dekhte hain…

Aur waha…

👉 ek ladka khada tha.

Uski aankhen calm…

Uska expression bilkul neutral…

Jaise yeh sab uske liye kuch bhi nahi ho.

"Tum log…"

Usne dheere se kaha—

"Abhi is cheez ke liye ready nahi ho."

👉 Woh tha — Raizen

Ek hi moment me—

⚡ CRASH!

👉 Creature do tukdo me toot jata hai

👉 aur hawa me gayab ho jata hai

Silence…

Poora area ekdum shaant ho jata hai.

Mira shock me—

"Yeh… yeh kya tha…?"

Daichi—

"Tu… tu kaun hai?"

Raizen un sabko ignore karke…

👉 seedha Akira ke paas aata hai

Uski aankhon me dekhta hai…

Jaise kuch search kar raha ho.

"Yeh… usse dekh raha tha…"

Akira dheere se kehta hai—

"Par mujhe nahi pata kyun…"

Raizen thoda sa serious ho jata hai…

"Tumhe pata bhi nahi hai…

tum kis cheez me phas chuke ho."

Sab confuse ho jaate hain—

"Matlab?"

Raizen seedha khada hota hai…

Aur kehta hai—

👉 "Agar zinda rehna hai…

toh tum sabko mere saath chalna hoga."

Hawa phir se hilti hai…

Aur agle hi pal—

👉 unke aas paas ki duniya tootne lagti hai

Jaise reality crack ho rahi ho…

Akira shock me aas paas dekhta hai—

"Yeh kya ho raha hai…?"

Raizen ki awaaz aati hai—

👉 "Ab asli duniya dekhne ka time aa gaya hai…"

💥 FLASH!

Sab kuch white ho jata hai…

Aur agle hi pal—

👉 woh ek completely alag jagah par khade hote hain…

Andhera…

Lightning…

Aur ek ajeeb sa pressure…

Akira dheere se kehta hai—

"Yeh… jagah kya hai…?"

Raizen seedha aage dekh raha tha…

👉 "Yeh… shuruaat hai."
