🌑 Shadow of Balance
Episode 3 – "The First Step of Power"
Andhera ab bhi waisa hi tha…
Lightning aasman ko cheer rahi thi…
Akira aur uske dost abhi bhi shock me khade the.
"Yeh… jagah kya hai…?"
Mira dheere se poochti hai.
Raizen unki taraf dekhta bhi nahi…
Uski nazar sirf aage thi—
"Yeh duniya ka woh hissa hai…
jise tum log kabhi samajh nahi paoge… abhi."
Daichi thoda irritate ho jata hai—
"Seedha seedha bol na! Hum log yaha kyu hai?"
Raizen rukta hai…
Aur dheere se mudta hai…
Uski aankhen un sab par tik jaati hain—
👉 "Kyuki tum sab marne wale the."
Silence…
Sab ek dusre ko dekhte hain.
Akira ka dil phir tez dhadakne lagta hai…
"Woh creature… mere taraf hi aa raha tha…"
Raizen seedha uske paas aata hai…
Aur uski aankhon me dekhta hai—
👉 "Kyuki usse tum chahiye the."
"Main…?"
Akira confused ho jata hai.
"Tumhare andar kuch hai…
jo tumhe khud nahi pata."
Hawa aur heavy ho jaati hai…
Ren dheere se bolta hai—
"Matlab… Akira normal nahi hai?"
Raizen seedha jawab deta hai—
👉 "Bilkul bhi nahi."
Akira ke haath kaanpne lagte hain…
"Par… mujhe toh kuch feel bhi nahi hota…"
Raizen halka sa smirk karta hai—
👉 "Isliye toh tum dangerous ho."
---
⚡ Suddenly… ek tez pressure feel hota hai
Jaise hawa unhe daba rahi ho…
Mira ghutne par gir jaati hai—
"Yeh… kya ho raha hai…"
Daichi bhi struggle karta hai—
"Saans… nahi aa rahi…"
Akira bhi hil nahi pa raha tha…
👉 Sirf Raizen normal khada tha
"Yeh…"
Raizen dheere se bolta hai—
👉 "Training ka first step hai."
---
"Control…"
Uski awaaz heavy ho jaati hai—
👉 "Agar tum apne mind ko control nahi kar paoge…
toh yeh power tumhe khatam kar degi."
Akira aankhen band karta hai…
Uski saans tez ho rahi thi…
Flash—
👉 uske dimaag me woh creature dikhai deta hai
👉 uski aankhen… uska attack…
"Focus…"
Raizen ki awaaz gunjti hai—
👉 "Darr ko control karo… warna darr tumhe control karega."
Akira apni saans ko dheere karta hai…
Ek…
Do…
Teen…
👉 Dheere dheere uska body relax hone lagta hai
Pressure kam hone lagta hai…
Mira aur Daichi shock me usse dekhte hain—
"Yeh… kaise…?"
Ren dheere se kehta hai—
"Usne… control kar liya…"
Raizen ki aankhon me halka sa interest dikhta hai—
👉 "Not bad…"
---
Par tabhi—
⚡ Door kahin se ek ajeeb si energy feel hoti hai
Raizen ka expression suddenly serious ho jata hai…
"Hmm…"
Akira poochta hai—
"Kya hua…?"
Raizen seedha aasmaan ki taraf dekhta hai—
👉 "Lagta hai… unhe pata chal gaya hai."
"Kaun…?"
Raizen dheere se kehta hai—
👉 "Tumhare dushman."
Hawa aur tez chalne lagti hai…
Lightning aur dangerous ho jaati hai…
Aur door… andhere me—
👉 kisi ki aankhen chamakti hain
