Chapter 1 - prologue

In the unknown realm of gods, an ethereal and colossal gate stood as a divine sentinel, crafted from the very essence of the first god. This awe-inspiring structure stretched far beyond the reach of mortal comprehension, its intricate patterns etched with celestial symbols that seemed to glow with otherworldly luminescence. The gate served as a potent barrier, separating the god realm from the mortal realm below, ensuring that the divine beings' realm remained hidden and protected.

Within this divine realm, majestic and powerful beings roamed freely, far beyond the understanding of mere mortals. Each being embodied unique attributes, their existence a testament to the boundless creativity of the divine. Some exuded an aura of wisdom, while others radiated strength and grace. Among these illustrious beings was Vaishnu, whose towering form and majestic presence made him a figure of immense reverence and respect.

Vaishnu's countenance was a masterpiece of divine craftsmanship, with features perfectly proportioned according to the golden ratio, a cosmic harmony that reflected the intrinsic balance of the universe. His face bore a timeless beauty, transcending the limitations of age and time. Every contour of his chiseled visage seemed to have been sculpted by the hands of celestial artisans, creating a countenance that was both striking and captivating.

As Vaishnu moved, his footsteps were like the echoes of distant thunder, resonating through the divine realm. With each step, he traversed vast distances, as if the boundaries of space and time bent to his divine will. His movements were a harmonious dance of elegance and power, a testimony to the grace and fluidity that only a divine being could embody.

On this particular day, within the grand palace of a fellow god, the ethereal echoes of Vaishnu's footsteps reverberated through the ornate hallways. The palace itself was a breathtaking marvel, adorned with glistening crystals that shimmered like stars in the celestial sky. The walls were etched with intricate murals, depicting epic tales of divine triumphs and cosmic battles that shaped the destiny of the realms.

As Vaishnu approached a set of colossal doors, his eyes were drawn to their intricate craftsmanship. The doors were embellished with enchanting motifs that seemed to come alive with a mystical glow, hinting at the enigmatic power that lay beyond them. A sense of reverence filled Vaishnu's heart as he recognized the symbolic significance of the doors; they were the threshold to the throne room of a powerful deity, an entity that held dominion over vast cosmic forces.

With a gentle push, the massive doors yielded to Vaishnu's divine touch, opening to reveal an awe-inspiring chamber that seemed to transcend the very fabric of reality. Within, an opulent sight greeted his eyes. The chamber was a celestial symphony of radiant light, cascading in kaleidoscopic hues that danced in harmonious patterns across the chamber's domed ceiling.

Seated upon a resplendent throne was the deity, a being of unparalleled magnificence, towering even above Vaishnu's grand stature. His presence was a mesmerizing spectacle, as if he embodied the essence of the cosmos itself. His form was radiant, adorned with celestial robes that shimmered like the celestial constellations in the night sky.

Vaishnu's voice was a gentle melody as he knelt before the deity, humility and respect permeating his every word. "My lord, I am here in your grace. What good deed have I done to be summoned by your grace?"

The deity's voice echoed with the resonance of distant thunder, a harmonious blend of power and gentleness that held Vaishnu in rapt attention. "Vaishnu, it seems the mortal realm has entered the period of Kalyuug," the deity spoke, his words resonating with a profound wisdom that only a being of his magnitude could possess. "The daityo realm is feasting upon the karma of the people, and there's an unforeseen twist in fate that even I cannot divine."

As the deity spoke, a sense of gravity settled upon Vaishnu's heart. The mortal realm was an intricate tapestry of cause and effect, where the deeds of beings shaped the cosmic fabric of karma. To think that an unseen force was disrupting this delicate balance was a cause for great concern, not only for the gods but also for the mortals who dwelled below.

"Yes, my lord," Vaishnu replied, "the mortal realm is entrenched in Kalyuug. The daityas feed on the negative karma, as bad deeds outweigh the good. After the great wars among the three realms and the war between the gods, we were compelled to withdraw, and the influence of the gods waned."

Vaishnu's words held a tinge of sorrow, for the gods' withdrawal from the mortal realm was a decision born out of necessity but carried the weight of consequence. The gods had once walked among mortals, guiding them towards enlightenment and virtue, but now, they could only observe from afar, their actions limited by the delicate balance of cosmic forces.

The deity's gaze turned towards the celestial ceiling of the chamber, his eyes transcending the physical realm as if they could peer into the very fabric of existence. "Apart from the three realms, I sense the potential interference of other celestial beings."

The deity's revelation sent a shiver down Vaishnu's divine form. The realms were a delicate web of interconnectedness, each realm influencing the other in ways beyond mortal comprehension. The thought of external celestial beings breaching this intricate web was a harbinger of uncertainty, a threat that could upset the very foundation of the cosmos.

Vaishnu's voice was resolute as he nodded in understanding. "Yes, your highness, we must be prepared for whatever challenges lie ahead."

With that, the deity and Vaishnu concluded their conversation, and Vaishnu departed the grand chamber with the same grace he had entered. Outside, within the divine realm, he found himself deep in contemplation. The potential intrusion of celestial beings beyond the three realms was a grave concern, as their power and intentions were unknown.

Vaishnu knew that the delicate balance between the realms must be protected at all costs, for the well-being of both the gods and the mortal beings depended on it. The fate of countless souls and the harmony of the cosmos hung in the balance, and he resolved to gather the major gods and entities to discuss the looming threat and devise a plan to safeguard their realm.

Over the following days, Vaishnu traversed the divine realm, seeking out gods and entities from various corners. Each had their unique abilities and responsibilities, and it was crucial to bring them together to confront the potential threat. The task was not without its challenges, for some of the gods were reclusive, others preoccupied with their own cosmic duties.

Yet, Vaishnu's determination was unwavering, and he called upon the cosmic forces of persuasion and camaraderie to bring the gods together. Each deity he encountered brought their unique presence to the gathering, their power resonating through the very fabric of the divine realm.

Gathering them in the grand hall of the divine palace, Vaishnu stood before his fellow beings, addressing them with utmost reverence. "My fellow gods and celestial entities, we stand at the precipice of an uncertain future. The mortal realm has entered Kalyuug, and the influence of the gods has weakened."

The room filled with murmurs as the gods exchanged glances and thoughts. They recognized the gravity
